A new verse…
by justin on Apr.09, 2010, under Misc
So I’ve always loved the song “What A Wonderful World”, written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss, and sung by Louis Armstrong. I always wished the song had more lyrics because it has such a wonderful musical arrangement. Well instead of wishing, I wrote some myself. It’s a bit personal I suppose, and definitely not as “generic” of lyrics as the first verse, but here it is:
“What A Wonderful World”
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue, clouds of white
Bright blessed days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin’ how do you do
They’re really sayin’ I love you.
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
(Instrumental Interlude)
I found my true love, destined to be
Husband and wife, forever are we
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
I see my child, so young at heart
So full of life, right from the start
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
I walk down the aisle, holding her hand
A tear finds my cheek, I struggle to stand
As I give her away, I hold back more tears
I’ll love her always, all my years.
As darkness falls, I turn to my wife
I loved every moment with you in my life
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.

Traffic

What is it about people and their inability to drive correctly? Are people really that timid when driving? Are they just stupid? I know down here in the sa-yow-th, it doesn’t take much to get a driver’s license, especially when you offer the driving tester a beer, but why can’t people simply learn to press the gas pedal?
It doesn’t matter if I leave at 5:30am or 8:30am, it seems that I’m screwed. A wreck. A stalled car. Rain. Snow. Sunshine. Any one little thing, no matter how minor, and it will take me 1.5 hours to drive a whole 35 miles. I have to leave at 5am or 10:30am to get to work if I want to get there within 45 minutes. Then to get home I have to leave by 4pm or after 6:30pm to even have a chance of it taking less than an hour.
I wonder if the money is really worth it anymore. I keep trying to tell myself it is, but when I have to sit in the car listening to morons on the radio while watching morons on the road try to keep from falling asleep as we barely sputter along at 5-10 miles per hour, I really end up thinking that maybe those homicidal maniacs have something going. Remember that armored, gun-firing, flame-thrower-toting criminal at the start of Lethal Weapon 4? Yeah, that’s kinda where I’m going with this rant. Except it would be in the middle of GA-400 during rush hour. I wouldn’t hurt anyone. I’d just get them the hell out of my way.
