10K? No Way!
So as of 12:00 PM CST, I have received 9,304 page views on this site. Which makes me happy and also excited, because that's close to TEN THOUSAND PAGE VIEWS!!!
As a thank-you to all you kind people who have given Justin Says Words a chance, I'm going to be holding a little contest this next week.
The rules are pretty simple. Each day, for the next five days, I will be putting up a post pleading you to comment on it. The first post, which I will put up tonight, will be asking a simple question: "Where?".
Keep answers simple and clean. For example, a good answer to "Where?" would be a place like "New Orleans" or "The Planet of Vulcan in the new Star Trek movie before the whole thing gets sucked into a black hole."
Here's the schedule:
10/7 - 10/8 WHERE?
10/8 - 10/9 WHO?
10/9 - 10/10 WHAT?
10/10 - 10/11 WHY?
10/11 - 10/12 WHEN?
I will pick my favorite answer from the comments section on each post. And using that information alone, I will write a short story and post it on my blog.
Sound like fun? It does to me! But remember, this will NOT work if you don't comment on the posts! So comment, fools! :)

Lyrical Found Poem!
A lyrical found poem is just what it sounds like--making a poem using a compliation of lyrics from various songs and artists. I've taken a bit of liberty with this one because I used 7 different songs and the tenses had to be altered a tiny bit so it made sense. Enjoy!
A Far More Serious Found Poem Than I Anticipated
by Justin Rose
(1) Come inside, pick your bags off the sidewalk
(2) I know a place where the grass is really greener.
(3) A concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
(4) Oh I can't believe what I'm seeing with my eyes,
(5) I can't tell you what it really is, only what it feels like.
(6) See, in this kinda joint, you gotta dedicate to someone.
(7) But it was then I hear my intuition say,
(8) "We all are basically alone."
(9) How was I supposed to know that something wasn't right here?
(10) Tell me doctor, can you quantify?
(11) I just want to know the reason why.
(12) Boy, you got me blinded.
(13) It's like there's nothing you can't do.
(14) Still these streets will make you feel brand new.
(15) And we fall back into the same routine,
(16) With our sidelines blind with casualities.
(17) We're unforgettable. We're undeniable.
(18) But don't bite the apple, Eve.
(19) High from my love and drunk from your hate,
(20) You can have my heart,
(21) Or just share it like the last slice of pizza.
(22) You'll have me suicidal when you say it's over.
(23) There's nothing I wouldn't do for you.
(24) That's not the way I planned it.
(25) That was yesterday, yesterday is over.
(26) My loneliness is killing me.
(27) But I still fight as long as the wrong feels right.
(28) You just gonna stand there and watch me burn?
(29) In this nature show that rages everyday,
(30) There won't be a next time.
(31) And since I made it here,
(32) I can make it anywhere.

Aack! Finally!
I'm currently hanging around the Portland airport, so I thought I might as well post a quick update.The comic strip Cathy, considered by many (myself included) to be the worst widely-circulated comic in the history of the world, finally ended when its writer and creater Cathy Guisewite called it quits last month.
I think this is great news. I used to read the comics every day when I was younger. I read all of them, even Cathy. It was the only strip that I never, ever, laughed at. It's like the comic strip equilvilent of the TV Show Frasier.
I'm not the only one with this opinion. Check out these anti-Cathy links.
The Huffington Post's Bill Mann reports that Cathy is battling Family Circus in a online poll for worst comic ever.
The website Guyism reveals its hilarious picks for worst Cathy strips of all time.
A Facebook group which needs more members shares its feelings about Cathy leaving the newspapers. See it here.
Care2's Robin Marty writes about Cathy in her piece entitled, "Cathy Comic Strip Ends, Readers Reminded It Still Existed".
Okay, gotta catch a plane. I'll post the Music-Found-Poem soon.

Don't Not Comment On This Post!
Hey guys!
So I like music. I carry a Mp3 around pretty much everywhere. No, not an iPod. My Mp3 holds 10 gigs, has a helluva battery life and has lasted for 2 years. Did I mention it cost $60? Suck it, Steve Jobs!
Anyway I was thinking about making a potentially humourous "found poem" (poem using excerpts of different works) using lyrics of different songs. Then I decided to do so.
But I need songs. PLEASE COMMENT ON THIS POST and post a random song you'd like to see in a makeshift piece of poetry with the artist that performs it. I can look up the lyrics online, but remember it needs LYRICS and I can't read anything but ENGLISH so stick with that!
Thank you! We'll see how well this works.

p.s. I added an "About Stuff" tab above. Check it out if you want to know about stuff.
