My lyrics and I, have arrived!!!

Hello my dear readers, how y'all doing? Well today was one HELL of a day for me. It'll take some time to tell you about it, but you guys have nothing else to do but read my blog right? That's right, I thought so :)

Let me start off with a new song that I recently found, well I found it 2 years ago but I didn't have my blog by that time so I'm going to do a review of it. It's VERY beatiful, at least it is to me. And not only that, but it also has sentimental value. This song is basically my life story up until now. The song is about finding your home, and people you relate to, and travelling forever until you find that special place. I'm working my way towards that part, but it's better than before. So that's a start on my journey. Even now I'm misunderstood by people around me, recently I've been having arguments with another guy in my gym class about losing your virginity at this age. Ofcourse being the non-average guy that I am I'm against losing at this age. It just doesn't feel right to me, because when it happens I want it to be special. And not just with some drunk girl at someones house. But anyways, the point is, he couldn't accept for some reason that I'm different from other guys. Any guy would've loved to lose his virginity at this age. Like it's a race of some sort. But that just doesn't interest me. Look I'm sorry, but you gotta live with it. EVERYONE is different, not everyone is alike. Not EVERYONE wants to lose their virginity at 14. I'm just part of that group. But the thing is, he just couldn't accept it. And I was perfectly fine with that. Because I have a sensible enough head to know that losing your virginity at this age is just wrong, but that's just me. And I'm glad I'm different, I'm glad I'm at 5% of guys that don't play COD, wheel girls, or act stupid or lowride just to look cool. I'm glad that I find algebra fun, I'm glad that I enjoy reading, I'm glad that I do well in school. And I'm thankful for all of these things. Because I'd rather be that 5% than look stupid with the other 95% that are all the same, because even though we're a small fraction we still stand strong.

I'm running out of writing space so I'm going to begin a new paragraph but on the same topic to make it easier for you guys to read. So anyways, another lyrics in the song is:
See I've been travelling, been travelling forever
But now that I've found a home feels like I'm in heaven
To me these lyrics remind me of how I've gone through so much in my life and so many distances to be where I am now, and I can finally say. That I'm in an almost heaven, I'm just working on the details, but no place should be a Utopia. Otherwise it'll be boring. And now that I look at everything that I've done, I see that it was all worth it to be where I am. Every single mistake that I've made, was worth it. Oh and every right choice too, I don't ALWAYS make mistakes. Because I am only human. Oh and I've already posted this song on the blog so you guys can take a listen to it.

So another topic I recently talked over with my friends today, it concerns my possible future career. Today my friend told me I had some good ideas that can change Toronto for the better. Like how the TTC should install small turbines like they do on the tail of planes to generate electricity for the plane just in case (god forbid) anything goes wrong. I understand that it will cost a TON of money to put at least 4 of them on each subway car. But I'm tired of people sayign that this costs too much so we can't do it. Ok, so let's just keep doing what Rob Ford says and help him drive Toronto straight into the ground. And when you reach hell, I'll be sure to tell you "I told you so" But seriously, so what if it costs too much? Ask the PM for the money, and it will pay you back. Look at the gas prices now which is approximately $1.30. When the recession hit we were all shocked that gas hit that high. But now people don't even care. So what, we're supposed to give up on our Earth and look for somewhere else to live? HELL NO, an idea like mine can change Toronto for the better by conserving electricity and pumping it back into the grid for people who REALLY need it. Like the ones staying up 'til 12 in the morning doing homework that couldn't get it done because they were busy with other important extracurricular things. Those people actually deserve the electricity, not the ones playing COD. But that's just my opinion. And other than that Streetcar idea I've got plenty of other ones too, like making the TTC shutdown at least once for an entire week per every 3 months because even the drivers and token colletors need their break to be with their family. They have as much of a life like you and me. I understand how catastrophical it can be, but would you rather get on a bus with a dreading bus driver or a happy one? The ones that were happy made my day because they were courteous to EVERYONE on board, even the bad people. And that is what I look up to, not a bus driver that talks in a sarcastic tone with a frown on his face. It's common sense really, they're not just workers. They've got their own families. Maybe the won't take off a week, but maybe at least 7 days somehwere in the month, so that there'll always be someone working their shift and someone with their family enjoying themselves. And now, I'm actually seriously considering running for a political position. Probably student council first, then hopefully mayor and who knows what'll be next? I may not be the best person to argue with nor the worst, but I do have some good ideas that can shape the world. And whether you like it or not I'm going to try this stuff.

Oh and I just had another idea, I have to write it down or else I'll forget it. Today I had a geo trip with my school and we went all over Toronto looking at its green side and how eco friendly some places are. And we walked into an interesting coffee shop where one wall was entirely made out of plants. So my teacher went over to me and said "You should petition one of these things for the commons in our school" Our school has a commons, it's basically a cafeteria or a cafe where people eat their lunches and hang afterschool. It's VERY big, in fact I'm pretty sure that combined with the auditorium the commons takes up 1 half or third of the school. Anyways, the commons has many walls as you can imagine already, and if we can get one of the walls to be a green wall there are SOO many good things that can come from it. For 1: clean oxygen, instead of the car fumes and circulated air that everyone breathes we can get fresh air in the school. 2: people can make it into a piece of art that adds to the school spirit of NT. And here's another thing I thought of. Since the wall needs water to feed all of the plants we can install a stationary bicycle to a pump which pumps water without the use of electricity and conserves the amount of electricity we use. The same idea can be used for the school's electricity, people can bike for some time and it generates electricity for the entire school to use. The drawback is the costly fees we need, but then again we gain a new energy source in the school. And here's another thing, the amount of time that people bike can be added to their hours. Or we can create a new category called green hours where people have to generate electricity or find a renewable source and adapt it to the school or just do something green that improves the school's efficiency. It's a good idea, to me at least. Which is all that matters.

Well guys, I promised you lyrics and you're getting them, this blogpost has been long enough so I'm probably going to end it with the lyrics. And here they are :

Allright now, this song goes out to the real friends out there
The ones that stand by you, I thank you

Sitting in the alley trying to think what to do
Do I call up Ali, just to ditch you?

You're lying there, motionless. But still awake
What do I do, do I run and take....off


Like Usain just got shot
200 on the highway, fresh up off the block


Think of what's next, what of this great tragedy
You want to be a friend? Don't get rid of me


I've always been there for you, but what have you done to help me?
Have you waited, fought, or stood up for eternity?


No, you just hide and slither away
Just when I need you most, you turn into ashes, like in a ciggarette tray


I've done so much for you, cared for you, killed for you
What have you done in return? You think I'm scared of you?


I'd turn my gun on you, slay you, betray you
In fact you deserve it, because of what you made me do


I lied for you, hid for you, across the wall
But you ain't nothing but a memory, I'll forget you all


That's right, you're not the first playa hater
To stand up and rise to me, like you got a straigher-


View of the world, that you'll never see
All the lies, deceit, and hipocracy


Once they gte a hold of your television
What you get is what you got


Cause when they own the information
They can bend it all the want


So I won't wait for the world to change
I'm doing something, while you're in the range-


Of fire, so move bitch. Get out the way
Go outside and play another day


So that's it for today's post, I hope you guys like what I wrote. Be sure to comment and Em@il me your stuff to mlofichenko@hotmail.com. Until next time: Read it, learn it, live it, love it, and post it!


Cheers, MarkL

P.S. Miko, Alistair, you guys are REAL friends and you're always there for me. Thanks for everything.
