A while ago now I caught
the opening lines to a song:

“Just gonna stand there
and watch me burn
that’s alright because
I like the way it hurts…”

For those of you who know
the rest of the song,
or even know what the song is about -

How well do your excuses work?

I’m sitting here procrastinating something
that many people actually enjoy.
Singing; more specifically karaoke style.

There are many reasons to bring this to you tonight.

I often wonder
what you were doing before
you started reading this.

Taking a quick break from work perhaps, or maybe
getting caught up on emails and such just before bed.

The reason I ask is because
I wonder where your mind is -

Lately it seems the things that
