The Mead Composition Notebook

Okay, uh, look, if you want to just keep on doing the same old thing, then maybe this idea is not for you. I, for one, am not going to compromise my artistic integrity. And I'll tell you something else, this is the show and we're not going to change it. Right?

REAL AMERICAN LOVING by Roadblock

When he’s not trouncing the global threat of Cobra forces with his GI JOE allies, he’s working to help solve *your* romantic dilemmas.  Heavy Machine Gunner by day, romantic strategist by night, Roadblock is here to whip your love life into shape!

1.) Single in San Fran

“Its been almost a year since my divorce (together for seven years).  I just can’t seem to get ‘back into the game’ so to speak, but I’m ready to date.  What should I do?”

Walk with confidence, you deserve some fun

Show those fellas that you’re lady number one

You’ll find a man, Roadblock don’t lie

Just make sure he isn’t a dirty Cobra spy

2.) Nervous in New York

“My girlfriend and I have been going out for 6 months, and she’s already talking about moving in together.  Am I just nervous, or does this seem pretty sudden?”

Relationship are bound to have their lows

But if you got a sweet thing, then your heart just knows

Ya gotta be honest, simply talk to ya lady

But she might be with Cobra, if she starts actin shady

3.) Curious in Colorado

“I haven’t been with a man in a year and a half.  No one can seem to excite me, quite like you.  How hard would it be to arrange a nice, quiet dinner for just the two of us?  Come un-armed.”

Roadblock knows how to play the game

Just flirtin or serious, its all the same

But lady, you ain’t gettin a hold of this JOE’s junk

Because I just sniffed out another Cobra skunk
