Songwriting and Brain Tumors


I have to write a song for my elective "Lyric and Libretto" class and I'm completely fucking fucked. I sat in the park for like two hours today with my concertina and nothing. Song writing sucks! I'm thinking I could just write a Trek related song? Any suggestions?

In other news it is exactly two years since my mom had brain surgery. I called her to congratulate her on not dying and ruining my life and I'm pretty sure she was a) wasted b) hilarious. The following is an excerpt from our conversation:

me: Mom, I'm screwed for this song writing class.
momma che: Stop whining!
me: I'm not whining!
momma che: Yes you are! You chose to do this course. Just write a song about me. Call it Live for Today.

In conclusion my mother is Bon Jovi.

I was saving this song title for a song I would eventually write for you (well, probably never because songwriting is effing impossible), but maybe you can use it to write a song about yourself!

It's called "I, CU" (cuz those are your initials! and it's kind of a double entendre cause "I SEE YOU"! Wish I could say I was drunk right now!)

Exclamation points!!!!!!!!!
