I'm on a roll

My title is appropriate for two reasons:
My Sundays are becoming constantly more Sabbath-like
and
I keep re-writing songs on my blog, which tradition I will continue this evening.

First a public thank you to Molly for being patient with me. Sometimes I'm not fun to deal with over the phone.


And now for a song. This is 99 Problems by Jay-Z. I'm not saying you should listen to the song because it is not exactly appropriate. I know it because of the Linkin Park remix album. Here's my own little remix (second verse). I dedicate it to all of the BYU guys who feel like they're stuck in an eternal dating world:

Now the year's 94, I'm back from the mish
Got my eyes set on grantin' some pretty girl's wish
She's got two choices y'all, she can marry me or
Bounce out my life, leave me lyin' on the floor
Now I ain't tryin' to cause no drama in this place
Plus I got a few options, and I can drop her case
So I...have a DTR on the side of the road
She said, "Boy, I don't know what you're stoppin' here for"
"Cause I'm young, so are you, we should give things a go
Do I look like a freshman, girl I don't know.
Are you gonna marry me or should we date some mo'?"
"Well you were doin' real fine till a second ago.
Go ahead and drop me off, don't ask me out again
I'm not as into you as I'm into your friend."
"I ain't ready to call it quits, girl this feeling's legit."
"Would you mind if we saw other people for a bit?"
"Well my testimony's solid, so are my grades and my job
But fine, go ahead and try Jim or Bob."
"Aren't you quite the catch. You Donny Osmond or something?
Somebody important or something?"
"I ain't American Idol, but my music's worth a look
You can check me out on myspace or facebook."
"We'll see how fly you are when the ward dance comes."
I got 99 problems, girls are number 1.
If you're having girl problems, I relate to you son.
I got 99 problems, girls are number 1.



That probably got carried away, but I had to see it through to the end. I'm almost sure that nobody who reads my blog will appreciate how much effort went into accurately placing lyrics to the same beat and style. I will probably be better understood posthumously. Most great artists are.
