Those of you that know me well know that music is everything to me. Music is how I express myself and tell the sad tale of my existence. Wow! am I depressing or what?
Music is my prayer, my thanks to God for all he has given, good or bad. You have to have a little bad to really appreciate the good right? (Rhetoric)
Since being in this funk I've written 3 songs. Why can't I do that when I'm not depressed? No, I have written songs when I'm feeling good but they all suck. So it is sooo true that you can make lemonade out of lemons. Like how many hearts is she gonna break. Not actually a song...yet. Can't dedicate that one either unless I move overseas somewhere. I posted a Facebook post about a bunch of us all getting together and work on the lyrics for a song. That would be fun or not. I'm killing time here till the wife goes to bed so I can crank up some music and play till my fingers bleed then I'll sit down and pound out a fresh song.
Ever notice how when you write a good song it just comes out. I heard Larry Gatlin say that when he gets a good one he really is only copying it down. God sends it and he writes it down. I concur whole heartedly. That's it for now but I'll be back to fill you in on something for sure.

On with it already!
Being totally new to this, I guess I should be careful of what I say but that's not gonna happen.
I reserve the right to cuss, swear and misspell like any unedubicated redneck will.
My first thought s of the day will come long after morning has passed. If I write here before noon, it's just shit that fell out of my head the night before and I saved it to make myself look smart.
I guess as you get older, you become more thoughtful and deep. I am waiting.
I am guilty of setting myself up to be disappointed by people because I put too much emphasis on things. It's called obsessing. I need to learn not to do that. It's a little bit like when you're driving and you get pissed off at someone based on pure speculation that they are pissed at you when the reality is, they don't even know you're there! I know I said that this blog is all about me and the reason for that is, the real world isn't.
No, the truth is, I don't matter. Do you?
If you're not here will the world stop turning? I doubt it. Sure, there will be a few people that miss you but that's their problem.
I know I'm sounding dark here but I am learning to think in terms of real world reality.
The other side of the coin is God.
This is where we reach the juncture of religion and science. Oh boy!
More on that later. I am a believer but I want to save that for later on.
In the meantime,
Hey! It's Friday. The smokin lamp is lit so enjoy!

I feel more like I do now than I did before!
1) Starters, none of this is serious.
2) If something I say here offends you or someone you know then they are guilt ridden for whatever reason I don't know but they should probably see a therapist. I have a list of names should you need it.
3) I, along with many of you suffer from periodic bouts of severe depression. (Boo Hoo, ya jackwagon! Love that commercial!)
I feel the need to spout off every now and then and I recently discovered that doing that to someone you consider a friend can seriously damage that relationship. (see rule number 2 above)
Many of my friends have asked lately, "Dude, what's with the profound utterances from yer hole lately.
It's Opticalrectumitiss (the late Johnny Mane) where the nerve from the eye crosses the nerve from the rectum which, in turn, gives you a shitty outlook on life.
Look, I don't know how long I'm going to be here, none of us do, but I want to learn the correct usage of punctuation before I go. awh shit, how'd that get in there?
I want all of my friends and relatives(most of them I think) to know how much I love them and miss them.
Now I would never tell them that in person but that's another story.
I haven't worked in over 10 years and I have had many moons to ponder.
I have recently made the journey back to being on stage, by myself, alone doing a single which was supposed to be open mike but no one came.
Actually have learned 10 new songs from this century!
I have had to learn to sing all over again and "all over" pretty much describes how it started out.
I have become quite the guitar player over the last ten years. No one could accuse me of being Brad Paisley like but I'm happy with it. It brings tears to my eyes when I hear myself. (booohahahahaha!)
So, like I said, if you are easily offended then you should end it here because I don't give a shit how you feel.
It's all about me!
