WAIT ON THE LORD
I was so cranky when I woke up this morning because I wanted to have a quiet time but the tv was blaring and set on a channel where big men with vandalized integumentary system and wearing vandalized denims and leather vests who make and ride motorcycles and speak the foulest language were discussing about motorcylces of course.. Well, the tv always go ‘toooot’ on all those languages but it does not matter because your mind hears the words, so anyway, I got so irritated that I asked (not very nicely) the person watching the tv to turn the volume down, or better yet turn it off, then I picked up my book and went inside my room to sulk.

Yeah, it's sad, but that's the reality.
My friend and I did the singing but I won't tell you which part has my voice. hehe
