Look Yourself by Apologetix
Parody of Lose Yourself by Eminem

Look
If you have
One God
And one offer of eternity
That exceeds everything you've ever wanted
With one opponent
Would you ask for it?
Or just let it slip?
Yo

He parks his Chevy, needs sleep, heart is heavy
He's thought about repentin' already, sun is setting
This church is not having service it looks almost dead as he
Drops by but they keep on the electric
What a ghost town, he knelt down, don't know how
He opens his mouth just the word "Help" comes out
He's broken down, yet his heart is open now
The lost one's found, winds up homeward bound
Heads back to his family Look who's home, daddy
And, look, he's so happy, he chose his own path but he
Won't give up babbling, he broke his old habits they
Don't seem so bad to me, hope it's some fad
Like new Coke or Shaun Cassidy
Don't need no radical holy-rollin' masochist quotin' old passages
That's what'll happen then, though, he'll go fanatic-y
Better go batten the hatches and hope it don't last

You'd better look yourself in the mirror
You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old
Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no?
It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time?
You'd better look yourself in the Book since you own it
In Romans, you never read it yet I know
You only get one shot to God, here's your chance to go
His offer to you may come once in your lifetime

His soul's been saved even though his whole family's gaping
This world is blinded by Satan - they can't see
As he moves forward - it's true George Orwell
The moral of the story is truth's ignored, emotion's most important
He'll only cause problems, the Holy Ghost got him
He blows him all over, he knows the call's on him
Goes to go show his bro's at his Alma Mater, "Welcome Back, Kotter"
They know he's just one of their own, so don't bother
Said, "Go home you barely know the Our Father"
Well hold the phones cause he knows it holds water
If those don't want him no more he'll go farther
And he moved on and he read the Romans Road till he knows it cold and shows others
He's on his soap box and his tone becomes bold, I suppose he's no martyr
But the weak grows strong and the dumb becomes smarter

You'd better look yourself in the mirror
You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old
Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no?
It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time?
You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it
In Romans, you never read it yet I know
You only get one shot to God, here s your chance to go
His offer to you may come once in your lifetime

No more names, I've been changed, but you call it strange
To tell my mother'n father truth off the true God's page
I was saying if you've been sinning pursue God's grace
I've been shooed off and spit at like Rudolph the Reindeer
But I kept shinin' a lamplight that I can't stifle
You best believe somebody paid for my revival
Call the name of Christ and go find a Bible
Fact is I can't deny that I'm liable
To die if my plans collide with life's iceberg
Like the Titanic cause man needs God and you can't go buy a lifeboat
And it's no movie; there's no surprise survivors
This is high tide and you're tryin to row hard
And you're hittin' deeper waters tryin' to flee piranhas I see
Plus seaweed's got ya caught up between PBJ Otter and Bikini Bottom
Babe it's not a submarine you're on and you must believe the Son
He'll save you on the spot, He's comin' ready or not
I've got to be to the point just like a nail on the cross
I formerly was lost, horrendously frail and fraught
With questions I know how Mother Hubbard's dog felt- famine, drought
Mom, I love you but this world has got to know
I cannot grow cold when Hell is hot
So please don't go into shock
Let the family talk
This way is their only opportunity to find God

You'd better look yourself in the mirror
You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old
Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no?
It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time?
You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it
In Romans, you never read it yet I know
You only get one shot to God, here's your chance to go
His offer to you may come once in your lifetime

You can do anything if He gets inside you, man

Figured I should throw this in right after the other parody of the same song. ;) Almost makes me think I should go listen to the original sometime...naaaah. XD

So, I'm back at college, which means I'll be available a good bit more regularly. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll have much time for my projects this semester. 15 credit-hours of classes, and a couple of them look to be pretty work-intensive. Fortunately, I can always multi-task while RPing, so I should be okay to do that most of the time. Just don't hold your breath for MUCK Munchkin or that RPG project demo. X)

I came back just in time to participate in a talent show at the church I attend while up here. My friend wrote a pirate-themed skit for the two of us, and my penchant for strange accents and mannerisms payed off during the performance--I switched dialects at three points during the skit. XD Got a few rave reviews for that later. n.n I'll probably be including lyrics from some of the other noteworthy performances in my next few posts, and if anyone's interested I'll also showcase the skit my friend and I did.

On the RP front, Karen's IC retirement party on PNM was largely a success. Most of the guests received a random dark-type pokemon puppet as a party favor, although the random number generator managed to pair a couple of us with awfully convenient choices. X) John received a houndour, which is fairly close to the growlithe I was planning to have him get eventually, and another trainer who specializes in water-types ended up with a corphish. Also, Karen unexpectedly was reunited with her umbreon which was stolen from her some time ago. Sort of threw a damper on the party, since the hostess was suddenly no longer interested in anything besides her lost-and-found pokemon, but it helped move general plot along.

On TF, things have been very slow, but I did manage to get an RP in last night with Shanai's player to advance the quest for Adrian's lost sword. With a bit of clever talking, Adrian managed to pick up a lead on his family's saber and exchange his dagger for a longsword. I may post the log on the TF LJ community later, in which case I'll also give a link here.
