An Abstract Mind- My Original Blog Archive
These are the posts I loved from my original blog, samson.wordpress.com. I saved the works I loved writing and now they have a special place here on my new blog.
National Anthem Story
So I was talking with my dad about memories I had from this past year in the blue thunder and I was telling him about this so he had me write it down and he sent it into the guy that is in charge of the National Athem Project and he says theres a good chance it will get published in their magazine or online news letter- Here’s what I wrote:
It was December 27th, 2005. As a member of the Kieth Stein Blue Thunder Marching Band, I was at the Boise Centre on the Grove for the joint pep-rally with Boise State and Boston College. At the rally the microphones would work sporatically, sometimes working, other times not. At the begining of the rally a local lady was set to sing the National Anthem. During the first verse her microphone stopped working. Seemingly, as her mic gave out, from the depths of everyone’s lungs, the National Anthem sprang to life. Soon the entire room was singing and carried the song all the way to the end. It was so amazing to hear everyone singing. Not just the musicians, but the football players, the fans, everyone. This story isnt very long, but being there in that moment was definitely very moving and something I will never forget.

To my friend
To my friend I hope this is a lesson you will learn…
When you get knocked down you have to get back up.
When its forth down and one and you need to convert- lower your shoulders and plow straight ahead.
If you succeed- you win, if you fail- you lose, but either way don’t hang your head because you left your doubts for dead.
Dont give up when its all on the line, hold on for all you have for see if you can last for those eight seconds.
If you get bucked, get up and run like hell. If you last, get off and Run for your life cuz that bulls gonna be pissed as hell.
Know when to fold ‘em, know when hold ‘em and know when to go all in. Life is a game with no reset buttons, so take a chance and live for the day.
Never settle for less, always shoot for more. Take it while you can because even when your life is busy and crazy like your in a blender… you can never give up, never surrender.
And most of all, if you go bankrupt today there IS always a tomorrow.
Even if you follow these words and you dont win championships or get your name immortalized in fame, get up for your true loved ones because they love you no matter what kind of person you’ve become, it doesnt matter what you achieve or fail to grasp in the end as long as you believed from begining to end.

Goodbye Lullaby *revised*<
Funny how things work out sometimes,
Funny how plans change.
Lets not forget all the good times we shared
and how you felt those days.
Lets not look back at the way things ended
and how we feel today
Just how we were when we began
and how we loved eachother back then.
You may not see me around anymore baby blue
But that doesnt mean I dont love you
You’ve taught me so much
and of that you can be proud.
Lets not let our tears fall at this lullaby
I love you- goodbye.

Come Tomorrow
I wish I could spend one more night with you to show you how I feel
No strings attached, so we cant say its real
Just one night alone to show you what you’ll miss when Im gone
I know there would be no tomorrow
but one night more night with you would make all things better.
*chorus*
To taste your sweet kiss one more time
To hold you in these arms of mine
Hearing you whisper I love you in my ears of mine
Spending just one more night with you would be fine
Id show you that cared
and always be there
so you believe it that I love you
even if I dont say it
*repeat chorus*
But come tomorrow morning….
I’ll be singing a different tune
You know i loved you and its true
But Ive tried so hard and you just wont let me win
so I give up, I give in!
Come tomorrow we can go our seperate ways
and not look back to yesterday
Leaving with not regrets for the things we didnt say
So we can both have clean states and go on living our lives again
And when its all said and done- I cant wait for tomorrow to come
When its all said and done… I cant wait for tomorrow to come!

This song came to me when I was listening to the radio, and i dont know if I actually feel this way, but it sure sounded good when it fell out of my head. I dont know how I feel anymore. I went out to dinner with my family at a chinese restruant and I got TWO fortunes in my cookie. I felt special. Its funny because both fortunes dealt with things Ive been wondering about lately.
“The Best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others”
“Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of recieving anything in return”
Im a pure lover…

Hell Hole- This town
*Opening*
Im sitting in the parking lot of a rite aid store
eating from the taco bell thats right next door
and I wonder if this is all my life is going to be?
*Chorus*
I live in a small town where there’s no gold
and doing the same thing never gets old
Man I want to get out of this Hell hole.
Man I need to get out of this Hell hole.
*Verse 1*
On every street corner there’s a memory I wish I didnt have
There’s the back alley where we used to hang out and laugh
Here’s the coffee shop where my heart was broken last
and here’s where the murder happend that got this town talkin fast
Man I want to get out of this Hell Hole
*Repeat Chorus*
*Verse 2*
People always told me how our downtown once was
But all I see now are crack houses and dive bars
and a downtown filled with drive bys from gang wars
and building windows are all covered in boards
So let the truth be told- I want to get out of this hell hole
*Repeat Chorus*
*Ending*
There’s nothing left for me in this town that doenst feel like home
I dont know where Im going, but I want to be gone
I want to get out of this hell hole
I need to get out of this hell hole

Drunk as Hell
I want to get drunk as hell tonight
To get rid of this thought that things aren’t right
You’ll be out having the time of your life
and I’ll be sitting around cutting limes.
I want to get drunk as hell tonight
In these times are holiday cheer
Im always left alone just sitting here
No one wants to be with me
I guess thats just how the hollidays are for me
Im sure once all the hurrah settle and the clock strikes midnight
Couples will kiss and for that moment everything will be right
But for those of us with no plans…
We want to get drunk as hell tonight
My Toast for tonght-
Here’s to those that drink to drownd the pain and to forget memories that hurt them so. Here’s to those that have no one to kiss at the stroke of midnight. Here’s to those that no matter what they do or how amazing they are, no one wants to be with them. Here’s to those that belong to the dieing race of good guys that are honest, caring, remorsful, loving, understanding, smart and straight that are used abused and thrown away like yesterdays news. Here’s to everyone thats ever had there heart broken and been walked on. Here’s to those that will give everything to see another person happy. Here’s to those that do the right thing the frist time. Here’s to people like me. Happy New Years and Happy Drinking.

Crossroads
by Sam Stone III
Here I sit at the crossroads and there is no going back
I cant live in the past or for the tomorrow I cant see.
I can only live today and go down the path I choose
Hoping maybe life will be good in the end for me.
I will not cry when Im in front of the publics eye,
but when Im in the dark alone all restraint on the tears disappear.
My heart lays broken in a thousand pieces on the floor
Not because someone broke it but because I put them there.
I did it for her the one I love.
Because I wanted to help her find herself
So she could be rid of her confusion and doubt.
And with hopes in the end to be back together with my love.
I stare at the pieces on the floor and wonder if I’ll ever be okay
She seems well on her way to accomplishing her goal
I hope she’ll never forget this action I did for her so bold
Breaking my heart to bring happiness and clarity to her soul
I still believe in the words she told me that night
That in the end we’ll be together and everything will be alright
I want that day to come faster than ever
So I can put my heart together and put this all behind me.
And so I sit and wait
Missing her like the sun misses the flower
With the pieces of my heart in a gathered pile on the road
Waiting for her at the Crossroads.

Me Me Me
I’ve been considered a myth
Everyone’s heard of me not everyone knows me
I dont crave the spotlight but I always seem to find myself in it
If you dont believe it yet, wait and see
Being me isnt an easy job
Work hard and Playing Harder
I dont flash my acolades but they’re there
When you’re one of a kind you go where others dont dare
For all the things Ive done its never enough
Gotta keep moving and take a step up
When I dream I dream big
I wont settle for doing something someone already did
Appreciation doenst always come for doing the right thing
But respect is earned from the moment you do it
You dont have to take my word for it but I ask you to
Thats the way I became me, by doing the right thing

Unleashed Freestyle
If I Can get through this I can get through anything
Cuz Im stronger than anything that happens to me
If you want some come get some
Im finally let loose from my cage
Now you can come feel my rage.
I was fine where I was till you felt a need to rattle my cage
You let me loose now that my eyes are open
Im bigger and stronger than you could ever imagine
I dont need muscles to beat you when my mind will do
I realize that there the limits I knew were false
and the boundries were never existant
Which makes me more dangerous now that there are no walls
Lets just say now Im more than 100% intense.
I’ll do what I wanna do, See what I wanna see, and Im going to be me
I dont know what Im going to do one minute to the next
What happens is what its going to be
With the choices it comes down to I’ll choose whats best.
Whats happend in the past lays behind
Now is a new era and a new time
If you dont know by now Im one of a kind
Through my words I’ll open a window into my mind

My Sweetheart
Verse 1*
It feels like we’ve known eachother longer than we have
We met through ways people will call insane
We clicked right from the start
And my love for her burns brighter each day.
*Chorus*
I love her but sometimes Im not sure why.
But I love her none the less
and Im glad shes by my side.
The more I see of her the more I fall in love.
No matter how much crap Im going through
She helps me rise above.
She’s got a smile that touches my heart
I love her, she’s my sweetheart!
*Verse 2*
We’ve been through so much it aint even funny
The times we’ve shared I’ll remember forever
I know that Im different than her past honeys
And I’ll always be there for her.
*Verse 3*
I believe that She and I have already been through the worst
So now we can look forward to our best
Somedays we have our misunderstandings
But there is noting about her I would change!
I’ll still love you tonight
*Verse 1*
There’s a bitter taste that just wont disappear
and theres a cloud that hangs above that wont go away
I think about things that have been said here and there
Things like I love you and everything will be okay,
I know they’re true, but will this taste ever go away?
*Chorus*
I miss you and holding you in a warm embrace
I wish right now I could see your smile and beautiful face
My eyes hurt from the tears that wont fall
and My heart burns, waiting for your call
I know that things dont feel right
but that doesnt change the fact
that I’ll still love you tonight
*Verse 2*
Im sorry you’re in the situation you’re in
I hope that we’re never here again
because together we have so much to live for
and I know we’ll still be together when all this ends
*Verse 3*
I cant believe what happend or how things changed
deep down I wish we could go back to the way we used to be
but now we have a chance to be better than what we were
because Im in love and forgive you and you still love me.
“Music holds the secret, to know it can make you whole.
Its not just a game, its the sounds inside your soul.
The magic of a melody runs through you like a stream
Notes that play flow through your head like a dream…”
The Wish I make Tonight*Verse 1*
Some people say this is the way it’s supposed to be
But is this how life is supposed to be?
I can’t watch things play out this way
and now there’s only one thing left to say…
*Chorus*
If I could I would take you away
From the life you live and show you a bright new day.
No more living with pain and no more crying nights,
This is the wish I make tonight.If I could I would take you awayFrom the life you live and show you a bright new day.No more living with pain and no more crying nights,This is the wish I make tonight.I wish I may, I wish I might give you this wish I wish tonight
*Verse 2*
I wish I could be your hero, your superman
and make the other people undersand
that they cant treat you this way
someday, someday they’ll see, but until then-
*Repeat Chorus*
*Verse 3*
No more pain and no more tears,
I want to give you a life with no fear.
I love you and I always will
and on that alone my wish will be fulfilled
*Repeat Chorus*
