A stroke survivor living in Florida & working at getting back to being "me". I write for me because if I don't, the top of my head may just blow off from all the pressure in the there! It will never win any awards but it's enough to amuse me & that's all that matters.

Music

I would have to say that music is a big part of my every day routine. I listen to just about everything. Well, except for whiny country and rap. I'm not big fans of either. My interests range from classical to blues, to contemporary jazz, to avantgarde, to hardcore metal, to electronica & techno... you get the point. I have an extensive collection of Cd's spanning music's induction to modern day, covering such genre's as 80's rock & Native American flutes, & more. I don't know what would be my favorite considering I can run a discourse on just about everything out there, except whiney country & hard beat rap. I can't stand that stuff. Not my thing. And music trivia? You really don't want to play musical trivial pursuit with me, unless you are on my team, because I will torment you & dominate the board. Just my nature. The play lists on my laptop read like a who's-who of the musical revolution & I can key all sorts of shit up at a moment's notice. I listen to satellite radio via the web all day long at the office as well & bomb diggity folks- I love that!
For the moment though, I am stuck in a rut so to speak. I have my friend Adam W.'s bands' CD in my truck stereo & I keep listening to my other friend Ad's stuff on my laptop. I like both. Although I do admit to taking a break yesterday & brushing up on some Dokken & Wasp tunes-helps clear the head & gets the paperwork off my desk! I like Ad's stuff though. It's very, haunting. I enjoy it because it is something he has created from within himself. It's different. Sort of on the edge of electronic Goth but not. It's more than what you'd hear on the radio & definitely different. If I could get him to write more for me, then again he tells me that there is more, he just hasn't laid it down yet. Ad is an old friend of mine from my childhood. Someone I lost track of for so many years and have recently gotten in touch with again. He tells me that he hadn't touched his equipment in so long and yet once I got him to share some of his stuff with me-the itch was there. It was like revisiting an old memory. It left him wanting to bring it out again. I'm glad for that. He was so talented way back & I think all that I've heard so far is wonderful stuff. More then likely now that I have his attention with this, I wonder if I can convince him to make more for me? Not just for me, but for himself as well. It's in there, deep inside. Now I just gtta get him to share his toys & play nicely.

Songs In My Head Right Now

I should call Mia & sing these to her, she would deserve it for sending me that one freaking song that I sang/hummed for days on end the little brat. Oh Man I so owe her badly for that! I fugured if maybe, just maybe. I post them, they'll go away. Funny thing is, they are both Peter Gabriel Songs, I wonder why? Something is on my mind, who the hell knows. I go off on weird musical tangents at times.

"I Grieve"
it was only one hour ago
it was all so different then
there's nothing yet has really sunk in
looks like it always did
this flesh and bone
it's just the way that you would tied in
now there's no-one home
i grieve for you you
leave me
'so hard to move on
still loving what's gone
they say life carries on carries on
and on and on and on
the news that truly shocks is the empty empty page
while the final rattle rocks its empty empty cage
and i can't handle this
i grieve for you
you leave me
let it out and move on missing what's gone
they say life carries on
they say life carries on and on and on
life carries on
in the people i meet
in everyone that's out on the street
in all the dogs and cats
in the flies and rats
in the rot and the rust
in the ashes and the dust
life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on
it's just the car that we ride in
a home we reside in the face that we hide in
the way we are tied in
and life carries on and on and on and on
life carries on and on and on
did I dream this belief?
or did i believe this dream?
now i can find relief
i grieve
"In Your Eyes"
love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyesI am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyesI see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes
love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyesI am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyesI see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,the heat
I see in your eyesin your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
in your eyes
Maybe now that I've written it down, it'll get them both the hell out pf my head! LOL. whew.
