On a quiet night under the sun

Here's an old poem Dodger and I wrote together when we were in high school. I think it's incomplete, but I'm still going to post it here for posterity.

On a quiet night under the sun
I met a talking frog and had some fun
I rode on his back to a candy flavored stream,
saw an upwards waterfall,
and then had the greatest dream

The frog said “you could be like me if you tried”
“Come on” he said and then he flied
So without thinking I leaped from his back
and landed on the moon
“Blue cheese” I yelled and the frog jumped, too

We ate and ate of the moon’s delight
Oh man, it was such a sight
We ate and ate ‘till we could eat no more
We ate so much, we couldn’t get out the door

“What shall we do?” the frog exclaimed
“I know” I said “We shall play a game”
“Which one?” the frog said
“Let’s play the one where we pretend we’re dead” I said

“Oh, that sounds like fun” the frog yelled “What do we do?”
“Well” I said “Just do what I do and you’ll be cool, too”

Falling in Reverse & Disturbed

Dodger and I drove to Peoria this afternoon to watch one of our favorite bands, Disturbed. Falling in Reverse opened for them. We saw FIR for the first time last fall at Louder Than Life.

Here are a few of the videos I took from the show...
