Double Jeopardy

T'was within the wee hours of Sunday that I laid in my bed, unable to sleep and then thought about couples going through this. It sucks, huh? Yeah, it does. And it don't taste like that bubblegum lollipop that they discontinued either. >_<! I'm still hectically pissed off about that, by the way. They were called, Bubblepops. They were pink and once you got to the middle, you found the bubblegum and.....hey?! I'd go without bread if they brought those back! Hint. Hint. I'm just sayinnn'......I refuse be blamed for my carb intake if those lollipop manufacturers aren't reading my blog. It has yet to be proven that Bubblepops, as opposed to bread, causes one to pile on the kilo's. They stopped making the damn things before anyone could find that out and I'm here, volunteering to be the guinea-pig. Scient-scientific research. Yeah.

Eh. You already know. I'm way passed the point of taking these discontinuations lightly too. It happened with the Woolies cheesy popcorn, the Beacon Bubblepops, that Nestle honey and almond cereal. Who knows what other product on the Rambler's favourites list!

Fatal effects on the liver in the long run?!?! My ass!

Look?

I make it a point not to run. -_-

I don't run for long periods, I don't run for long distances. Why not let ME decide the level of fatality that I am willing to accept? As a human, I have rights and totally taking the choice away from me is a violation. 'Cause they say that shit just to scare you! Whooooooooooooo....fatal effects, whoooooooooo! Puuuulease! One or two people collapse and suddenly it was the Bubblepops. What about dehydration? Did they even check dates of collapse? Like I could be sitting here salivating over a lollipop that I used to know because people collapsed from dehydration from running the Comrades. Who's to say?

What was that?
Oh no. No-no, I didn't hear of anyone collapsing from the lollipop but when in doubt....I use my imagination. Handy tool, if you ask me.

Alllllll around the world, there are people who really don't mind that their intestines could be dyed yellow by the time they reach 60 from the cheese spice over the popcorn. I know I don't! I'm all for bright colours. Matter of fact? The sunflower is my favourite flora species and it's yellow. Yep! Bet quality control didn't know that little piece of colourful information, when they were like, "Stop production now!!!!!! Throw all of that popcorn away! Someone is suing us for dying their intestines against their wishes!" Pffffffffffffft! Plus?!? Plus.....check it out. I eeeeeeven love yellow on walls!

So then I ask? Beacon, Nestle' and Woolies.....Why wouldn't I be excited about yellow intestines? And see, they don't know that I'm an over-thinker too because I see the pattern. He-he-he! Look at those names. How they start with the letters B and N and W. Now.....all I have to do is find the manufacturers with-with names starting with the missing alphabets, find my favourite products and then buy them as if I were preparing for the Apocalypse. Why I'd need them then? I don't know just yet but I'm keeping in mind that someone will have to be the new Eve. It could be me.

Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Jussss bringing my pressure levels down before I attend Tre's First Holy Communion just now. Can't be going to church filled with aggravation at three of our leading manufacturers. Hummmmmmmmmmmmm-mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Oh yeah?!? (Slaps air with one hand). The reason I'm here. Lol! Lose my way, find my way, lose my way, find my way....that's how you know me.

Here's the poem I wrote last night. A word of advice to anyone in this situation? You don't have to accept responsibility for mistakes that you did not make. I'm all for working through past issues with my partner, but if he's only about making me pay for his ex's flaws...like her, I'll also become the one that got away! I wanna be punished for my OWN set of flaws. Hmmmmmm?! Yes.

Double Jeopardy

I can accept at the wrong time being at the wrong place
What I can't understand is why you're still searching for his face
After all that I've done right, you seem to find it in mine
I didn't sign up for paying the price for another man's crime

It's real hard tryna scrub away at another man's dirt
While at the same time pickin up the pieces of your heart
Something's gotta give, it's either me or babe, it's him
But I won't be his bad and my good when good is all I've been

I don't wanna lose you but what am I really fighting to keep
It's not getting any easier playing your game of double jeopardy
Because I'm the one in front of you don't mean I become the target
I swear I will not let you sentence me for a crime I didn't commit

So it's all up to you, you tell me what it's gonna be
I can stay and heal your hurt but I won't let you blame it on me
I'm man enough to stay and keep the promises that I make
But if you keep this up, stepping outa your life is a trip I'm willing to take

Now take a look behind you and when you're done, turn around
The only thing in front of you is me and this love that we found
If it's worth it to you, then you gotta let it be known
'Cause I ain't settling for less, I'd rather go it alone
