U

Sorry I lied to you. It has taken me quite some time to post. School has been kickin my butt. So every morning I have my routine. One of the things I do is set up a playlist to listen to on the way to class. Today as I was listening to my song selection, I came across a song I haven't listened to in a long time. This song is by Arrested Development, one of my favorite groups. The song is called "U". I am now gonna post it with some changes.

Lonely, Lonely, Oh Woe Is Me
Oh Woe is me I say
The complex cycle i go through almost everyday
To my dismay, I imagine being in this set
Me holdin' the 21st letter in the alphabet
All my life I'd been searchin' as if it was my obligation
To find who?

U but my patience grows thin
'cause U are letter surrounded by a better image
Marriage takes disipline, 
A problem that exist within'
The American culture I resist against
But I must recall and I trust that all 
I've learned thru life is givin' way to my wife y'all
'cause I want, not need a companion to feed 
the knowledge I read and the lovin' I've received
Through moms and my pops read a long life
So hey I prayed for the day I have a strong wife
And a strong son or daughter or strong both
Give them a foundation of values 
I think I'll make a great coach for them
And warn 'em of sin and maybe by then they can nip it in the bud
Before it begins
So hey, if you're listening and yo wishin
For a U like me that you have in store
Maybe I could be the U for U
And U could be the U for me too

  1. Thanks for sharing a revised version of a great song. I think it is great that your established routine includes blogging. Sharing with other people keeps us connected to one another and certainly helps with sobriety. Isolation and loneliness create many problems for addicts and is one of the big triggers that need to be avoided. Keep sharing, it is good for the soul.
