Catching The Kids In The Rye

June 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

Hey, what do you know, I had an unpublished entry about Scalzi’s Androids Dream from April sitting around that I just published. Do you know what that means? Catcher in the Rye is actually book 27, not 26 on the year, as previously thought. I was glad to read it. Probably […]

10 Below In May

January 8th, 2008 · No Comments

Wrote something new yesterday, so I figured I’d share with you all, let me know what you think.
What if everything were different
And this day was today two years ago
I could have been everything you could want
You would be all that I am
But today, instead, a part of me died.
refrain
Its 60 degrees in january,
But I feel […]

Blame

December 4th, 2007 · No Comments

Sammie just lies there asleep on the sofa
he’s been taking all that shit and he knows he’s not supposed to
but when he wakes up he just thinks for a minute
what life would be like that that shit wasn’t in it

no matter what it takes […]

December 3rd, 2007 · No Comments

Well….I certainly fell off the daily-blogging-bus. Alas. Its also been a good 10 days since I’ve posted…I’ve been a bad blogger.
Today I’ve just got something that I wrote today, I imagine it being kind of slow, very deep sounding with a lot of vocals only…in my way of thinking that means a very […]

Chains

October 12th, 2007 · No Comments

Look through what I am,
peer down the pipe at me,
bind me in iron chains,
bind me to sit out in the rain

Take the color from face,
everything must fall from grace,
In the steps up to my home,
chain the door in iron and stone

Along the lot down by the yard,
show them that you can be just as hard,
as […]

Bright as the Sun

September 14th, 2007 · 2 Comments

A few years ago my friend Lauren passed…I think it was in June of 2005. She was eating cracker in the morning, to combat morning sickness from her pregnancy and she choked on the cracker with her husband asleep in bed next to her.
Every now and then I think of Lauren (Hanewich) and her […]

Soma’s dream

October 6th, 2006 · No Comments

I recently read the book Brave New World and must say I really enjoyed it. This poem / song / not sure what it is yet, is based on the book by Aldous Huxley that is one of the most banned books of the 20th century. As usual, read on for more.

Finally Flee

October 6th, 2006 · No Comments

The second set of lyrics for the day. I wrote this at the end of last week / early this week. This one is really close to being a good track I think I just need to work on the melody a bit more / re-record the vocals, and we’ll be pretty close. […]
