As Rome BURNS!

I done did it...
I just submitted my manuscript for "Chuck and Lester's Fables" to a publishing company.
As Rome BURNS!
I have no idea where this is heading, but as I submitted the file I was listening to some pretty intense live Smashing Pumpkins from when I saw them in 2007 in San Francisco...
It's almost like I'm trying to get pumped up for a basketball game or something...
AS ROME BURNS...
I'm so sick of feeling mediocrity. Maybe it's delusions of grandeur, but I think I have a whole heck of a lot going on inside my brain...and I truly believe it is marketable.
AS ROME BURNS!
My favorite part about my job is getting students to laugh hysterically in class...
Now if I can do that on a massive scale, how great will my joy be
AS ROME BUUUUURRRRRNNNNNSSSS!
Plus, if there's some $ in making people laugh, then why the heck not I?
AS ROME BURNS TO THE $#$#^%@$Y#$^#$^ GROOOOUUUUUUUND!

Though my humorous visage may betray how I really feel some days...I'm deadly serious that I want to grab life by the throat and throw down!

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends....in the RUSE OF FOOLS
