Something DEEP

Ok, so in my last little update I promised something deep in my next post. Truthfully, I have nothing. This either makes me shallow, or way too busy (practicum ends in 1 week!). But to whet your doubtlessly voracious appetites to hear what important things I have to say, I am going to post the lyrics to a song I've been trying to write for a long time. There are gaps because I need some help with it, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

"When You're Next to Me"

If I had the words to write you a song
I'd make it a masterpiece;
With lyrics like fire, my heart would aspire
to move you with pure melodies

If you gave me sight, I'd look straight to you,
Where else could my eyes find their rest?
I'd search the whole earth, and for all that it's worth
___________________????? (Something that sounds like rest?)

Chorus:
Hey, hey, I feel the sky
I hear the stars when you're next to me
Hey, hey, I feel you breathe
and I tune my soul to your heartbeat.

Second verse and bridge: I got nothin!!! 

That's it for today.
Daver

Best CBC Interview Ever

By the way, this is really funny. And it just gets better and better.



Mid-Praticum Update

Hello, little blog-readers. Well, it's been almost a month since my last post, which is horribly uncommitted of me. It's been so busy I've barely had time to think. A bunch of stuff is happening:

  • Practicum: The legend continues. I'm just about done my 5-week stint at molding young minds at Glebe Collegiate. The reports are good, except I need to crack down on discipline a little. Any innovative ideas for discipline techniques???

  • Pre-natal classes: Yikes. All the "female" words that I have avoided throughout my time as a man have made a dramatic comeback in these classes. Plus, all the other guys there are avid readers of pregnancy literature. For example, I was one of the only guys there who hasn't read "The Baby Whisperer" or "Eighteen Short Birth Stories". What is this? Should I be reading this stuff? My heart says no, but my "pregnancy buddies" (??!) say yes....

  • Chrissy has reorganized our apartment. This might sound uneventful if you don't know my wife, but she takes a task like this to heart. After drawing to-scale diagrams of each individual piece of our furniture, she has used them to create an absolutely stellar layout for everything. If I knew how to post pictures I would. But trust me, it's awesome.
That's about it for this post. I think blogs are supposed to be a bit more intellectual or something, so next time I'll try to write something DEEP. Prepare yourselves, my (3?) friends.
