    It Certainly Has Been Awhile

    i wrote a new song. you can call it sappy, you can call it happy, you can even call it crappy, just don't call it Bill.  It hates the name Bill.  That was the original name of it but the song didn't like the name Bill so i had to change it.
     
     

    Shipped Out (Left Your Town)

    By John Sampsel

     

    (Slow)

    The day ends and it’s all done

    I head back to my room

    Practically begging

    And I can’t see the one

     

    (Speed Up)

    It’s causing agitation

    This lack of education

    That separates and spreads

    Stops the joining of our heads

    Experience great frustration

    Caused by emancipation

    From that town

    Please can I go back now

     

    Cause growing up

    Has meant moving apart

    I left your town

    You still have my heart

     

    Now I head back to school

    Tell me that this aint cool

    Looks like my futures bleak

    For another week

    Don’t make me play the fool

    Sit there on my stool

    Logic defined

    You still have my mind

     

    Cause growing up

    Has meant moving apart

    I left your town

    You still have my heart

    Please baby come with me

    Do not make me plead

    I beg

    I’ll let go of your leg

     

    We may be growing up

    But that won’t keep us apart

    I’m there with you now

    Snuggled in your heart

    What Dreams Are Made Of

    What Dreams Are Made Of
    by John Sampsel
     
    This one's private and only for you
    But it's not like everyone can't see that we're true
    I'm made for you
    I'm glad you see that too
     
    You can come to me in the middle of the night
    Don't make a sound or turn on a light
    We'll fall asleep
    A moment for us to keep
     
    You're driving me crazy or that's the way it seems
    The love of my life and incarnation of my dreams
    This may be sappy
    But I'm so very happy
     
    You're all those little things
    that I've always wanted anyone to be
    Now come to me
    You're smiles so lovely
     
    This one's private and only for you
    But it's not like everyone can't see that we're true

    Ramblings of Enclosure (Or Maybe it’s Foreclosure)

    By John Sampsel

     

     

    Tip top therapy you’re idoly waiting

    For some hand me down roll around is it so vindicating

    You can’t stop to see

    That they can’t let it all be

     

    Easy outs seem to be the way to go these days

    Insolent bondage has us all wrapped up in a haze

    We see nothing else

    Than fear itself

    Now does that make you scared

     

    Tip top therapy you’re idoly waiting

    For some hand me down roll around is it so vindicating

    You can’t stop to see

    That they can’t let it all be

     

    Now cooperative involvement isn’t over the docks

    But time’s the only thing that should be running our clocks

    Is it all for none

    Or should we live for one

    Could that make you scared

     

     

    Tip top therapy you’re idoly waiting

    For some hand me down roll around is it so vindicating

    You can’t stop to see

    That they can’t let it all be

     

    Why do we live in seclusion today

    Are we really that scared of losing the race

    See we need our risks

    To take on our own

    Now let’s give it up

    Cause we’re not alone

     

    Tip top therapy you’re idoly waiting

    For some hand me down roll around is it so vindicating

    You can’t stop to see

    That they can’t let it all be

    Who are we trying to impress?

    What's with people these days.  Everyone acts a certain way or does something differently to impress people.  Why should we impress people?  I mean, you change yourself just to make others happy while it tears you up inside, and if anyone would ask you to change yourself then they obviously don't care about the real you.  I say we shouldn't even bother with pleasing people anymore.  If it seems that my opinions are bipolar, well they probably are cause i don't write unless i feel strongly about something.  So I'm like an emotional writer, things could be worse.  But, back to my point.  Why do we want to impress people?  Case and point, some dick hurt a friend of mine today by spreading a bunch of rumors about her and him just so he could look good.  WHAT A DICK!!!!!!!!  Seriously, why does this crap always happen?  She's a perfectly cool person and he has no problem looking pass that for his own selfish gain.  You know what the worst part is....it's guys like that, that keep those girls by convincing them they're worthless.  How do they do that, by making everyone talk trash about those people by starting rumors.  People have seriously lost touch of what's important and they need to start reexamining the things that make their lives worthwhile.

    I Can't Stand People

    People bug me.  I realize this seems weird or something.  I mean is it normal?  I hat being around new people, especially when they are comfortable.  It's like they're being extremely cocky by trusting you.  I may just seem like some weirdo anti-social person.  Well I don't care if i seem that way because in all honesty I am.  People shouldn't be comfortable around each other immediately.  Shields are there for your protection so it should take a while before you're trusting enough to drop yours.  I'm sure that it's not only me that thinks this way.  It can't be.  Honestly I think if you want to drop your shield and think you can deal with all the crap that people will throw at you then do it.  I think I may possibly feel this way because I like the fact that I have such high expectations of people.  I mean is it so wrong to expect people to be naturally good.  I don't think so, and honestly I think people are naturally good.  Not to sound like one of those extremist wackos, but maybe people are only bad because it's expected of them.  That's why I can't let my guard down, because it's expected to be a bad idea.  I think I may be rambling but I don't care because this is my blog and I can say whatever I want in it.  And yet i still have to keep my guard up here because it is available to the public.  I guess I'm just saying that I don't want to get to know the people in my hall because I don't want to lose high expectations with the crap that reality brings.

    what's with the bible saying so many different things?

    I don't get this.  So many people have screwed up the bible and its messages for their own selfish wants.  Why do people do these things so much?  I mean we are being selfish in something that has one of its messages as not to be.  If you don't understand what I'm saying then let me clear things up with some examples.  First is this: the United Church of Christ now supports gay marriages.  This is directly against the bible.  I'm not just being homophobic, besides having sodom and gamora to use for an example, they should read Lev. 18:22 "Do not permit a man to lie with another man for that is destestible before the Lord".  (it may be 17:22, i'm not exactly sure but it is one of those)  My next example is that Pope John Paul II is most remembered for telling everyone that there is no need to convert to christianity.  I think he missed Rom. 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord".  I'm sure there are you skeptics that say that they believe in God but don't believe in all of the bible.  Well I'm sure that means they missed the verse that says "In the beginning was the word and the word was God".  So, to say that you believe in the same God mentioned in the bible then you must also believe in all of the bible.  Now, i ask why we allow these things to happen?  I mean what does this tell an unbelieving world, that they can manipulate their faith in order to feel good about their lives.  Not that christians shouldn't be happy, but they should be happy because they are immersed in their love with our Lord, not because they don't have to adapt to the Lord's rules.  If you haven't noticed, the bible warned about things like this.  I do believe that uniting all religions is one of the signs of armagedon.  I guess what I'm trying to say is simply this, if these churches and leaders want to see so many unsaved not ever accept the Lord then by all means continue on with your left wing politically correct church.  As for me, I think I'll stick to stepping on toes and staying true to the God I've believed in so diligently for years.
