1.                                                           "A fun night beats an awkward morning"

Pregaming in the dorms
Getting ready for the night

My clothes looking fresh
And my pants lookin tight

Chicks dig it when they can see my thighs
Those are the nights I get more hellos than goodbyes

I go to an apartment and play some drinking games
Meet a lot of girls but can't recall their names

It started getting crowded and feelin kinda beat
So I walked down the stairs and out to the street

Immediately upon leaving I fell on some black ice

I tried to play it off like I was just rollin some dice

I get up and look back to where the patch had been
And that’s when I realized I was bleeding from my chin

Go up to a frat and wait at the doors
I knew I would get in because I was with 3 good looking….girls

When I get inside I start poundin down some juice
This is by far, an alternate beverage abuse

It started to seem like I could get any girl I choose
That’s when I started to think I couldn’t lose

My sight might have been blury and my decisions might be bad

I tell myself to be careful, not lookin to be a dad

Next thing I remember I wake up in someone’s bed
Realized I probably did some things that I will dread

I keep thinking to myself over and over again
If that wasn’t the craziest night of my life its definitely top ten
!

2. "Conquer the Mountain"
 
The mountain, born again
Virgin white satin waits
Pure and untouched it calls
Daring those of strong will to conquer

Solemnly ready yourself
Perform the familiar rite
Warm wax down the board face
Glides, filling all earlier
Scratches nicks cuts bruises lessons learned

The powder waits cold white
Anticipation glistens
unique diamonds in the sun
on unforgiving surface

A slow tingle down your spine
Board in hand you are so close
Silence clears your mind of
All the unnecessary
Knowledge that will not help you
Here it's just you and the mountain

It is gorgeous the sight
standing poised at the top of
no return, gravity is not one
to be bargained with up here

your humble first push and glide
the snow gives way under you
as if accepting your precesence
exhilaration pumps through
your veins as you quickly plummet

edge to edge, hard you kick up
nothing but soft powder wake
the thrill is unmatched, the mountain
slowly tamed as you leave the
first marks on its unblemished
face; but far too soon it's over

reality slowly returns
and tiny flakes wet your face
looking back upon the path
It is already filling in, disappearing
On the face, traces of the run gone
you have a lot of work to do today

"An Ode to Anthony Morelli"

Its Game Day
Words can't express how happy I feel
But I already have my doubts
With Morelli at the wheel

The tailgating is under way
The beer is flowing like wine
How I loved my head coach
But his son must resign

Connor is going pro
Our running backs are great
I just wish I had a quaterback
Who could count to number eight

Interceptions are his specialty
Fumbles are his skill
Yet another average season
Give Anthony the bill

Another loss at Michigan
A team we must all hate
No one gave us much a chance
With the likes of Ohio State

What will happen to dear one-four?
It's too early to tell
One thing is for certain
It won't be the NFL

"PURPLE ROSE"
 
Trapped in this cell of loneliness,
Waiting for the night to end,
Longing to be free,
But the moonlight embraces me.
 
I can hear your voice in the wind,
But I can't tell you I love you,
These beautiful memories,
Why do they hurt so much?
 
As these eyes cry in a bed of roses,
And tears sing a familiar melody,
I will continue to write this song,
This never ending song.
 
For now, I walk alone,
Watching the roses wilt and bloom,
Waiting for the day,
The day I see a purple rose.

"Release the Rage"

They make me take it.
I hate it; I try but can't shake it.
I'm not lazy, they're hazy.
So I do my best to fake it.

Do they know the word lucid?
Don't be surprised -- I'm not stupid.
Look it up, if you have to.  
Be lucid in class, or I'll smack you.

`Cause I can learn if you can teach.
I'm not a sheep, so don't preach.
We don't need math to make the bucks.
Word up, ya'll, calc sucks!
