I played my mom a new song and she told me it was self indulgent. I got defensive then realized she was right. I like my mom a lot. She's honest without being mean. Not very many people can pull that off. |

I thought love was enough
I guess you need money
and
......a house
and
............a plan
I'll be as happy as I can be
I don't find my security
in accumulation of wealth
I hope that I find somebody else
Who can put up with me
she'll be an artist
who can't stop creating
because...
she's so inspired by her love for living and God.
She will probably have brown hair
I don't know for sure but I've got this feeling she will
We'll be silent yet comfortable,
hyper without getting on each others nerves
We'll travel and laugh and
forget the past and live now
or....
maybe I'll give in
go to college major in business
wear clothes with logos
Get my haircut by
Le Bruce
I don't want to end up alone |

Shake off
That DUSt
Get back to livin'
You move so slow
I thought you MigHt Rust
Where were you to begin with
You thought it was more
but...
maybe you just had the wind in common
don'T be
So Down
You should be used to it by now
stay calm
GET LOUD
say the right thing
...say it now!
if all else fails
by a boat
go set sail
start in the delta
end at the...
begining of your life
find yourself an island
Go and save your shipwrecked wife
if all this fails
I'll still hum this melody
and...
you will hear the whisper of the whales
"don't be so down you should be used to it by now" |

I make music that I don't like. I would never listen to it if it wasn't me. I want other people to like it though, and it hurts my feelings if they don't. I should probably just stop.
I wrote about 500,000 songs about Ashley and I don't ever want to play any of them again. It's not good to write songs about real things. I made Ashley cry a lot tonight. I wrote the songs to let things out and I didn't think about the fact that they would be hurtful to her. I don't even think about what I'm singing anymore. I'm not sad or mad...I'm fine and while I'm singing I'm just looking at people in the crowd or thinking about how the drums are dragging or the bass is too loud. I should probably start writing about really obscure things that won't hurt anyone. like Filipino food (best food ever) or an african flameback angelfish, or maybe just about floyd.
Someone should've told me it's a really bad idea to write about heartbreak. I'll never have another girlfriend because as soon as the girl hears one of the heartbreak songs the conversation will go something like this.
Girl: You're still in love with her
Me: I was just writing about how I felt at the time but it didn't work out but life goes on...time heals...something about fish etc...
Girl: Oh so now you're gonna tell me all the same things you told her. like I'll love you forever and You're the only one for me but you obviously don't mean it because I just heard you singing her the same thing.
Me:I loved her but now I love you
Girl: Who are you going to love tomorrow? douche bag!
I'm screwed. I should probably destroy all my songs. Change my name and start life over as a physical therapist. |

my grandpa was telling me about a bluegrass festival he went to and how it was long and boring and he only liked about 4 songs. I think he was trying to relate to me but I love bluegrass so it didn't work. I asked him if he was more into rap and he replied "No, I can't dig that" either he was trying to relate to me again or he's into jazz. My grandparents are an extraordinary couple. they've been pastoring the same church for over 50 years. it's in the middle of nowhere in southwest missouri. my grandpa is one of the best preachers I've ever heard because he knows the word. he reads and studies from early in the morning to early at night. (old people don't stay up late) he's in his 70's and he's been doing that for most of his life. the bible is insanely complex and layered. the fact that we can study the bible our whole lives and still never grasp everything it can say to us is amazing. My grandpa just sticks to the preaching which leaves everything else to my grandma. I just found out today how much of a genius she is. she is the secretary/accountant for the church, cemetery, and a youth camp. She's really smart with money. she was telling me that they only run 175-200 people but they were able to build a brand new church and they still have $300,000 in savings and $300,000 in checking. I waste money like it's going out of style. I can't help it that so many good albums exist. I also can't help it that there are so many books that I need to buy and never read. I think I'll go read a comic book now. |
