- Me: Will do BenBen...Will do...
- Ben: (walks out and closes the door)
- Those were the last words we shared.....
You see, we just finished learning about the 60’s and 70’s, civil rights, the Vietnam war, and Watergate and I wish I could talk to you about all of it because I know our conversation would be very deep and philosophical. I also would love to hear what you would have to say about Obama being the first president to openly admit being gay rights and same sex supporter and everything that is changing because of it.
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But now that I got your attention could you sign this petition on President Obama to sign the excutive order adding LGTB workplace protections to millions of American jobs? The link is below, thanks!
So sign this, maybe?

Got a lotta heart ache
He’s a fucking weasel
Decisions make my mind ache
Want to make a deal
Ease away the problems and the pain
The girl chose the one guy who makes you want to kick and scream
All along, you wish that she would stay
Fuck the guy who took and ran away
He’s a player, diarrhea giver
Tried to grow his hair out
When friends were listening to slayer
I would like to find him Friday night
Hanging out with mom and trying on his fathers tights
Life just sucks, I lost the one, I’m giving up she found someone
There’s plenty more, girls are such a drag
Fuck this place, I lost the war
I hate you all, your mom’s a whore
Where’s my doll?
‘Cause girls are such a drag
I would wish upon a star
But that star, it doesn’t shine
So read my book, with a boring ending
A short story of a lonely guy
She makes me feel like it’s raining outside
And when the storms gone I’m all torn up inside
I’m always nervous on days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move cause I’m still
Just a stupid, worthless boy
