PostAWeek 16: Bleeding Ink: A Metal Song of Hardcoreness By David “Bleeding Quill” Dysart


PostAWeek 16: Bleeding Ink: A Metal Song of Hardcoreness
By David “Bleeding Quill” Dysart



I was having a textual conversation with a friend of mine when I mentioned that I should buy a quill and ink well. I was then informed that the ink bleeds, which just sounded like an awesome metal song, so.... I made an awesome metal song about it. I will say though, I don’t know anything about music, don’t know how to write a song, and don’t listen to metal. I do think I will make another pass of it though to make it even more metal. Anyways, onto the song!


Bleeding Ink: A Metal Song of Hardcoreness

Paper.
Paper.
Paper.

Ink and paper
My ink bleeds on my paper
Blackness overtaking
... It’s purityyyyyyyyy

My mother told me
To color inside the line
Be the straight-laced
Be the good kind of kid,



But she never saw the ink
What I had to thiiiink
She never saw the ink
On my paper bleeeeeed

What she couldn’t see
The ink that I made bleed
The stories I had to tell
The words that I had to fell

Now I’m using my speech
To say what they wouldn’t teach
Just what had to be said
Before I become part of the deeeeaaad

I spill my inkwell
Stab the paper with my quill
Hear what I have to say
Write it all my way



I will just stand here
Bleeding my poetry
The world sucking
My life from me



My mother told me
To color inside the line
Be the straight-laced
Be the good kind of kid,

But she never saw the ink
What I had to thiiiink
She never saw the ink
On my paper bleeeeeed

What she couldn’t see
The ink that I made bleed
The stories I had to tell
The words that I had to fell

Now I’m using my speech
To say what they wouldn’t teach
Just what had to be said
Before I become part of the deeeeaaad

I spill my inkwell
Stab the paper with my quill
Hear what I have to say
Write it all my way



Mamma, what do you think of me now
You taught me a murder most foul
But the world just taught me murder
You’re either the sheep or the sheepherder

Now that you see me bleed
Sewn from your seed
Your son no longer the bank slate
Bred from your contempt and hate

The paper you created was meant to bleed
From the ink of the world, its lead
Sorry to disappoint you, you see
But this boy was meant to bleed

PostAWeek 15: The Davidian Blog - An Essay on Alleviating Student Loans By David “Already in the Red” Dysart



PostAWeek 15: The Davidian Blog - An Essay on Alleviating Student Loans
By David “Already in the Red” Dysart


I did a short little essay for a student loan repayment competition. I then subsequently found out that they only wanted a tweet-long answer, so I figured I would toss what I wrote up here on the PostAWeek.

If I was so desired, I could cite sources that would support a lot of the assumptions I make (though that doesn’t make what I’m saying true), but I don’t really care enough for all that business (though it might make for an interesting Thesis ‘,:-{|>


Here’s how I reduced it for the tweet entry:

More work-for-education plans available to student. Organizations pay for schooling for a work-commitment from students



I probably should have looked up what that was called :/



What I busted out when I read the prompt:

I think a fundamental paradigm shift in education financing could keep young people going to school. Especially in the face of mounting economic uncertainty and fear. It’s very intimidating to think about all of the student loans we’re going to rack up just to get a degree.

If more organizations and fields started education financing-for-work programs, it could keep people in school, and in a way that doesn’t have the same ominous overhang of “debt,” a mounting crisis that is likely to pop like other recent bubbles.

Rather than school leading to debt, these programs are allowing us to see school leading to a for-sure job (though maybe not in the best or highest-paying aspect of the field). This does require a financial investment and gamble on the part of the organizations, but this investment and faith on their part inspires loyalty and motivation from these students and future employees. It could also lead to socially reinventing our future job market.

The work environment has been slowly whittled from one in which organizations are committed to their employees and employees are loyal to their companies. If though, the relationship between employee and employer was built early and during the educational process, it would allow students to focus their abilities towards that job and instill a sense of interconnectedness between them and the organization while removing the fear of such extensive student loans.

I think that increasing the amount of these programs solves several problems facing students and organizations alike. It takes down the financial barrier of higher education, increasing job outlook and security, increasing employee dedication, and removing the stress from a burgeoning debt bubble.

I’m afraid. I am the David, and I am afraid that these blogs are a complete waste of time (and these very topical quote parodies will be lost on people)
