la la la

I don’t know what’s going on. It’s not like I’m too busy to blog. And I’ve been doing stuff, so I have things to blog about. I just haven’t. I have a running list of things I’ve been doing though, so maybe I’ll get inspiration one of these days. Until then, I leave you with this, the new TJ Alma Mater:

May the circle of infinity be unbroken
On the journey we’ve begun.
May our bonds of friendship be unspoken
Oh, Thomas Jefferson.

Together we stand as many
And lift our voice as one.
And for all our days we will sing the praise
Of Thomas Jefferson.

To life, to love, to the future,
To discoveries yet to come.
Colonials are united
In Thomas Jefferson.

Together we stand as many
And raise our voice as one.
And for all our days we will sing the praise
Of Thomas Jefferson.

May the circle of infinity be unbroken
On the journey we’ve begun.
May our bonds of friendship be unspoken
Oh, Thomas Jefferson!

Together we stand as many
And lift our voice as one.
And for all our days we will sing the praise
Of Thomas Jefferson.

So, a few things to note.
1. It never mentions anything about a school. Just sounds like someone with a huge crush on one of our founding fathers.
2. It never mentions science or technology.
3. It may seem as though the verses are repetitive, but please notice that the fourth verse raises our voice, while the second and sixth merely lift our voice. And verse 5 is different from the first by ending with an exclamation mark!
4. If we were to assume it was about a school, it could be for any school pretentious enough to have an alma mater. All they care about is friendship and standing as one. Could they try being more generic?

Anyway, I’m sticking with the fight song.

*BREAKING NEWS*

Oh good lord. I just went to do a search to find the lyrics for our fight song and found a site that allows you to download high school fight songs to your cellphone to use as ringtones. So, for anyone interested, go over and take a listen: TJHSST fight song ringtone.

Ok, gotta get going. Until next time…

Come on and give a cheer for TJ High School,
Best school in the land!
Come on and watch us win a victory
And give us all a hand!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
Show your spirit!
Stand up and cheer!
We all know that victory is here, so
Fight! (fight!) Fight! (fight!)
For science and tech
And the glory of TJ High!
