The Spitfire Saga: Part Deux
"As the son of a son of a sailor,
I went out on the sea for adventure,
Expanding their view of the captain and crew
Like a man just released from indenture.
As a dreamer of dreams and a travelin' man,
I have chalked up many a mile.
Read dozens of books about heroes and crooks,
And I've learned much from both of their styles.
Son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor.
Son of a gun; load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer.
Now away in the near future, southeast of disorder,
You can shake the hand of the mango man
As he greets you at the border.
And the lady she hails from Trinidad,
Island of the spices.
Salt for your meat and cinnamon sweet,
And the rum is for all your good vices.
Haul the sheet in as we ride on the wind that our
Forefathers harnessed before us.
Hear the bells ring as the tide rigging sings.
It's a son of a gun of a chorus.
Where it all ends I can't fathom, my friends.
If I knew, I might toss out my anchor.
So I'll cruise along always searchin' for songs,
Not a lawyer, a thief or a banker.
But a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor.
Son of a gun, load the last ton
One step ahead of the jailer
I'm just a son of a son, son of a son, son of a son of a sailor
The sea's in my veins, my tradition remains.
I'm just glad I don't live in a trailer."
-Jimmy Buffet...Son of a Son of a Sailor

And there you have it. Quick recap of today's events:
Economics - McClain told me to "watch his shit." I love that man.
Health - Reviewed for the final again, ha ha.
Gov - Nothing. Absolutely Nothing.
English - Forman predicted our futures. I'm going to be an air traffic controller, but more important, as he said. I get crazy perks though, like tickets to anything I want.
Calc - Dave lost his keys and went to look for them. Doc came in with aforementioned keys. Parks took them to give to Dave who was gone and suggested we move his car. I left, moved Dave's car from the front frow of hte senior parking lot to the back parking lot over by the tennis courts.
Spanish - Nothing really.
Criminal Justice - Easiest final of my life.
After school we filmed our Calculus final. It was myself, Dorry, Steve O, Wolfman, Matthius, Ozzie, Axay, Zach, Dave, and Sean David in cameos. 6 hours later we finished the filming, and now we've got to give it to Ozzie for editing.
I've been reading Harry Potter 2 since then really, since I finished 1 last night. I'm already halfway through. I thought it would take longer the 2nd time since I wouldn't be as interested. I was wrong.
That's it. Economics and Health tomorrow then we have the Mike Anzano fund raiser after.
