I am here for Friends

About Me

I am pale-skinned, lower-class, agoraphobic, under-achieving, low mass and light-headed. I play music infrequently as of late, but have played guitar, bass, lap steel, drums, keyboards, clarinet, recorder, harmonica, random percussion, and my own voice. I produce music, sampling and programming beats to go with pop songs that are either weirdly good or mediocre crap. I haven't decided. I used to play with other people, but I don't see a lot of them anymore. So the music kind of stopped. I don't know when it'll start again. I just bought a reggae snare though. That could be good...

Songs Part VII - or - I Was The Blanket You Wore

Wrote a song today. Recorded about a third of the instruments and vocals for it. Thought I'd share the lyrics like I usually do. This one is entirely a work of fiction, and doesn't really reflect my o...

Songs Part VI - or - I Promise You The Impossible...

This is a song I wrote when I was 17 years old. I recorded it for a girl a little bit later on, but never really did much with it. Yesterday, that same girl reminded me of this song, and today I have ...

Late night ramblings about patience...

I really had no idea what patience was until very recently. Sure, there's patience like waiting to graduate from school, or waiting for enough money to come in to get whatever it is you want to buy. B...

Songs Part V - or - A Second Jessica...

So I wrote a song about 4 years ago called Jessica which some of my friends know because it was on a college sampler my freshman year. This is not that song. This is like a sequel, but in an alternate...

Why do I live alone? *well, kinda...

Im trying to figure out what happened between humanitys tribal roots and the monstrous society of lonely people, out on their own, making it in the world. But this world, small though it may b...

Songs Part IV - or - home sick from work...

I'm feeling raunchy today, and I don't mean in a rock'n'roll cliche way, but like I could hurl at a moment's notice. And so I have nothing better to do than take random pills from around the house, cu...

Songs Part III - or - The Theory of Everything

Alright, so I just finished this song and I like it, but I won't be offended if you don't. It's a bit of a character study. Something about our hopes and our fears being so closely linked that we can'...

Songs Part II - or - I have a silly mustache...

I'm beginning to think that my really old pic (October 2004) isn't very characteristic of how I actually look. First, I'm smiling. Alright, sometimes I do that. But another thing, I have a very silly ...

Songs Part I - or - Blogging is a waste of time...

...and thus I blog here for the first time. I have nothing original to say that hasn't been ranted better by brighter, at least right now, so I shall start a semi-regular posting of song lyrics. These...
