a new beginning (musically)
So...I love music. This is a very well known fact. I especially love playing and writing music. But, for as much as I love writing music, I've written a handful of songs. I can sit and play for hours, just coming up with stuff. But for whatever reason, very rarely do I ever write and finish a song. That's all about to change. I looked at the most recent songs I've written, and I realized I have so much more to say. The past 4 years of my life would make a great story. I listened to my favorite album of all time today,Everything in Transit by Jack's Mannequin, and that whole album is pretty much written for one person. I could do that. Or I could just as easily write an entire albums worth of songs about family. or friends. or work. or all of the above. Since i've made this decision, to actually sit down and create for the purpose of getting all of this out, its been gradually building steam. I feel like the floodgates are about to open and something crazy is going to happen. which is why i'm going to document the entire process from now on.Writing to recording. (yes, recording, because otherwise what is the point?) this should be an interesting ride. | | Friday, October 23rd, 2009 | | 11:42 pm |

I'm gonna be there at 6, with some flowers on sticks That were clipped just to make the weak strong.

Katie, Katie I'm sorry that in your condition The sunshine's been missing but Katie, Don't believe that it isn't there. Oh and Katie, Katie be happy This world can be ugly, but isn't it beautiful? We're not really here, and we're really not there We're really not there. Katie you're a brave girl and courage is something I'll need now. 'Cause its been a hell of a day I've spent fading away We all fade sometimes, I believe And Katie its a strange world as I watch the tables get turned around And you've got the strength that I've lost in a thought that would carry me. And Katie, Katie I'm sorry that in your condition The sunshine's been missing but Katie, Don't believe that it isn't there. Oh and Katie, Katie be happy This world can be ugly, but isn't it beautiful? We're not really here, and i'm really not there Whoa Whoa And it's not the end of the world, It's not the end of the world, It's not the end of the world, 'Cause the cops wouldn't break up this party. And Katie, Katie I'm sorry that in your condition The sunshine's been missing but Katie, Don't believe that it isn't there. Oh and Katie, Katie be happy This world can be ugly, but isn't it beautiful? We're not really here, and we're really not there. Oh Katie, Katie I'm sorry that in my condition Your sunshine's been missing but Katie, Don't believe that it isn't there Oh Katie, Katie be happy This world can be ugly but isn't it beautiful? We're not really here, and we're really not there We're really not there, We're really not there.

apparently, it is ok to be racist...........
...as long as you are an 87 year old preacher and you do it during one of the most inappropriate times (not that there ever is an appropriate time) in american history. The following is an excerpt from the inaugural benediction given by Rev. Joseph Lowery "Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around ... when yellow will be mellow ... when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right. That all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen." (link to the full text can be found below) Really? The implication is that all of the other races are being held down, and the white race is the one that hasn't made the right choices. Lumping every white person into a group, a group that has yet to do what is right?? I don't know, but that sounds kind of racist to me. This was a prayer at a historical moment of american history (the historical significance being the inauguration of the 44th President of The United States) and should not have ended this way. He shouldn't have been talking about race at all. full transcript: http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5h4SrWpZNd-yocKSO7_9FO51iLJowD95R4RTG0 | | Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 | | 2:22 am |

Jack, Coke, and Your Mom
So yeah, music. Lately Joey, Kenny and I have been talking about writing and recording some new material. It will probably be for a new project, not for Fallen, since the prospect of Fallen getting back tgogether hinges on Steve, and that's not happening. But we've been talking about it alot the past few days. And today hopefully I'll be getting the recording software for my computer. updates will follow. | | Thursday, January 1st, 2009 | | 12:46 pm |

Frank Mir beat Antonio Noguiera for the UFC Interim Heavyweight title saturday night, it whjat was supposed to be the toughest challenge of his career. Frank Mir, who 4 years ago was in a horrific motorcycle accident, and was told he would never fight again. He worked through some serious adversity, some very lackluster fights, and alot of personal demons. Then, last year, a better Frank Mir showed up and beat Antoni Hardonk, then in February of this year, he beat Brock Lesnar in what was for some reason thought to be a huge upset. And saturday night, he showed up in the best shape of his career (even before the accident) and beat Noguiera, relying mainly on his standup, which was thought to be his weakest point. Now sometime early next year, he gets to fight Brock Lesnar again, who since his loss to Frank Mir, went on to beat Heath Herring, and then a returning Randy Couture for the UFC Heavyweight Championship. The winner of tis fight will be the undisputed UFC heavyweight title. My money is on Frank Mir (quite literally, if I can find a place to bet lol) My point being, I am a lazy fuck. I've used the metal plate and 18 screws in my leg as an excuse not to be as active as I used to be. Never really outwardly putting it forth as an excuse, but in my head, it was always there. That little bitch of a thought that told me it was ok to be a lazy fuck, because I probably couldn't handle the kind of active lifestyle I was used to living anyway. That little bitch of a thought that told me doing just enough to get by was ok. That little bitch of a thought that somehow rationalzed being close to 80 pounds overweight. Well fuck that. Seriously. watch for some changes. Current Mood: determined | | Thursday, December 25th, 2008 | | 6:36 am |
ITS CHRISTMAS!!!!!
I'd just like to wish you all a Merry Christmas. I hope its time well spent with loved ones and a great day for all. (an excerpt from the best christmas special ever) "Isn't there anyone who can tell me what Christmas is all about?" "Sure Charlie Brown, I can tell you what christmas is all about. Lights please." "And there were in the same country shepherds, abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them! And they were sore afraid ... And the angel said unto them, "Fear not! For, behold, I bring you tidings o great joy, which shall be to all my people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord." "And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger." And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, and good will toward men." "And that's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown." Current Mood: excited |
