Mortal Enemy

(as sung by an old black man)



I was just sittin deah and you came walkin back into my life...
I say I was just sittin deah and you came a walking back into my life...
So don't come talkin to me bout your degree and your wife.

You's my mortal enemy, so how deah you apologize...
yes you's my mortal enemy, son, so how deah you apologize..
you made my life so miserable I can't even look you in the eyes.

(blues guitar solo)

now we find ourself with the shoe on da same foot,
you done tried on my shoe, and you sees it done fits yo foot..
should i forgive you, brutha, or leave things ways they's put?

I was just sittin deah and you came walkin back into my life...
I say I was just sittin deah and you came a walking back into my life...
So don't come talkin to me bout your degree and your wife.




There's my blues song I wrote today. I was faced with my mortal enemy, one of the two people in my entire life I've actually hated. I asked him how he was, being polite, and he had the nerve to apologize for what he put me through. And I've never eaten a large-sized classic-triple combo that fast before..

Not much goin' on

Well, school is officially done till fall! I'm excited, but not as excited as I should be! I've got half of my grades in so far, both A's. That's really all that is new. I went to a party for my old roomie on Saturday. He finally got his PhD. So he had a party at his house. It was awkward, very awkward. You all know I'm not much of a "get out of my comfort zone" type of guy, so this was a pretty big step. I feel like I failed, really. I was so discouraged I had to go walk around Walmart for 45 minutes to convince myself I was ok. I don't understand how my brain works sometimes. For example, there are times when I can just go up and talk to people at a mingle or whatever and introduce people and get to know people and just be outgoing and "fun" without any fear or hesitation, even with people I don't know, and then sometimes I can be surrounded by people I at least know who they are, and I can't say anything or involve myself at all. How does that work exactly? It's annoying.
I had the opportunity last Saturday as well to go do some service at the Oakcrest camp. It was pretty fun. I went with my roomie and his stake. They had bagels and juice and water for us and we got to build some aluminum tables and cut down some trees and stuff. Had to leave at like 7 in the morning though.
I've also been asked to speak in church this Sunday. I'm not super excited about it, I've just gotta say. My topic is charity. The thing I struggle with is teaching things that people haven't heard every week their entire lives. I know when I'm listening to a talk and they pull out the verse in Ether about faith I just wanna stand up and yell "yes, we know, we get it, it's the first thing that popped into our heads too!!" Not that quoting that verse is bad or wrong, just not my style. So, if anyone has any stories they would be willing to let me use about charity, feel free to email me at and comment on here that you sent one, cuz they usually get sent to my junk folder for some reason.
I guess that's about all. Mostly just enjoying the good weather we've had lately and hopefully I'll be able to have some fun this summer.
