Everything has Changed

I was inspired by my friend's blog today. She wrote about the lead singer of the Barenaked Ladies, Steven Page, and his recent arrest for drug possession.

Here is my letter to Steven:

Dear Steven

The Sound of Your Voice has always been Easy to listen to. Today I find my thoughts Adrift and Everything has Changed.

I hear Angry People speaking of you with only Half a Heart. Oh I know in One Week there will be The New Sad and I Can I Will I Do think you may be Down to Earth and not as guilty as a man running from a Bank Job but still you have me confused you should be at Home, a Celebrity in your condo with oceanfront views, instead you're most wanted on the 6 o'clock news.

Pinch Me, it can't be true. It's All Been Done before but never by Some Fantastic member of BNL. I'll Be That Girl that listens to your Box Set and I Live With It Everyday in the Old Apartment and maybe begin to think now you are only Second Best (Ed, What a Good Boy you are).

In the end I hope The Wrong Man Was Convicted and the ladies you were with were not Alternative Girlfriends and they will simply say "Blame it On Me". You will Go Home, get the Alcohol In The Car, and find The Humor of the Situation.. Afterall, that's Life in a Nutshell and really you are only Falling for the First Time. Soon enough The Flag will be waved on yet another proverbial Brian Wilson, the paparazzi will Leave, and Everything Old Is New Again.

Next Time, fight the War on Drugs. Remember what they taught you in Grade 9 and don't be so Crazy. You know...If I had $1000000, and I were you, I would be Vanishing for a while.

This is Where it Ends, I am Running Out of Ink, I think I will just go Shopping...Who Needs Sleep? Except perhaps Intermittently.

For now, I need a Gin and Juice. I know in the end you will write a Little Tiny Song, it will be Off the Hook, and it will Sell, Sell, Sell.

For you it may be all Fun & Games but for me Everything has Changed. Am I the Only One?
