The Perks of Being Home
I'm sure everyone experiences some sort of perk while being at home with their family and friends. One of my least and most favorite perks all at the same time is that my past comes back in ways I never expect it. So far, it's returned to my life in good ways, such as Bryan's wonderful dinner in which I got to spend some time with some of my closest friends who I've known since elementary school and middle school. It had to have been one of my happiest nights home! We spent the night talking about mainly elementary school, but then we moved on to middle school and briefly touched on some high school memories. It will definitely be marked as one of the funniest nights of 2008 for me.
Where might my past be one of my least favorite perks you might ask? Well I'd have to say that seeing my 8th grade history student teacher in the Bucks County Courier Times again has to be one of them. By all means, everyone in my class is laughing at this, including myself. I just can't help but look back on it though and shake my head in embarrassment. Oh Minetola, you struck again! We've been hearing about this over and over again since 10th grade. IT'S A LITTLE OLD NOW! Just leave Leigh Superfine alone, won't you? GEEZ!
"Correct! Freedom of Speech is one of our freedoms as Americans. (Writing "Freedom of" on the board. Stops.) Hey guys, how do you spell 'speech'? Does it have two e's or an ea?" - Jim Minetola.
You don't have to get a haircut.
You don't have to change your shoes.
You don't have to like Duran Duran.
Just love me.
You don't have to put the seat down.
You don't have to watch the news.
You don't have to learn to tango.
You don't have to eat prosciutto.
You don't have to change a thing.
Just stay with me.
I want you and you and nothing but you
Miles and piles of you.
Finally I'll have something worthwhile
To think about each morning.
You and you and nothing but you
No substitution will do.
Nothing but fresh, undiluted and pure
Top of the line and totally mine!
I don't need any lifetime commitments.
I don't need to get hitched tonight.
I don't want you to throw up your walls and defenses.
I don't mean to put on any pressure
But I know when a thing is right,
And I spend every day reconfiguring my sense
When we get to my house, take a look at that town
Take a look at how far I've gone.
I will never go back.
Never look back anymore.
And it feels like my life led right to your side
And will keep me there from now on.
Think about what you wanted.
Think about what could be.
Think of what's great about me and you.
Think of the bullshit we've both been through.
Think of what's past because we can do better!
We can do better!
We can do better than that!
We can do better than that!
