"This being human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond."

and my band that has not been created yet...............Don't Tell God I'm Here!........ Im thinking we will start out doing covers of Frank with a huge band but i will be singing the songs. ittl be interesting and put us on the map because people will be pissed off a woman is singing sinatra, but they will learn to love us. then we can move on to writing lyrics that are emotionally deep but with a catchy tune. I see our audience being a mixture of old people thinking they were going to hear some kind of "regular" Frank Sinatra covers, and then end up staying to slash around with the misunderstood teens and the people who are forcing themeselves to listen to us so they can be cool at school. But we wont write the music for just them, the band will have an interesting dynamic because everyone in it will get married to each other, have love children, and then reside in the depths of Canada growing out our hair and nails. ......are ya in?
