Something To Believe In

You say, “keep my head from going down” Just for a little, just for a little Watch my feet float off the ground Just for a little, just for a little Love, if you can hear this sound Oh, just give me something, something to believe in Parachute   When last I blogged, I said [...]

Lonely Boy

When I dance around the kitchen as I cook, it looks vaguely like this video, only way shittier.         I dig the Black Keys and you should too.  Maybe that was too strong a statement.  Let me try this again.  I dig the Black Keys and believe that it’s worth a three [...]

Closer To The Edge

Can you imagine a time when the truth ran free? The birth of a song,                    The death of a dream Closer to the edge Thirty Seconds to Mars       I was listening to Pandora last week and this song came on.  I’ve heard it a bunch of times, but for some reason the [...]

Panic Switch

When you see yourself in a crowded room Do your fingers itch, are you pistol-whipped Will you step in line or release the glitch Can you fall asleep with a panic switch Silversun Pickups               When the drum kicks in at 8 seconds, that’s when I start bobbing my [...]

2 AM and I’m still awake, writing a song If I get it all down on paper, it’s no longer inside of me, Threatening the life it belongs to And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud And I know that you’ll use [...]

One Headlight

So long ago, I don’t remember when That’s when they say I lost my only friend The Wallflowers     You know who are defined by their boobs?  Strippers and porn stars.  And Real Housewives.  It doesn’t matter if you have an amazing set of headlights or a tiny pair of titties; breast cancer can [...]

Up All Night

Let me get this straight, do you want me here? As I struggle through each and every year. And all these demons, they keep me up all night. Blink 182     Yeah.  I’m a day late for Music Monday, but I had to share my Raiders post on Monday for Monday Night Football.  My [...]

Awake and Alive

I know what I believe inside I’m awake, and I’m alive   Sometimes you find a song you just like.  Maybe it’s the beat.  Maybe it’s the lyrics.  Maybe it’s simply, cool.   This is one of those songs.  The song rocks along quite nicely (It’s currently #13 on the Billboard Rock chart) and the [...]

Unwritten

I break tradition Sometimes my tries Are outside the lines Natasha Bedingfield *It’s called “venting” not “bitching” and it’s cheap therapy. Friday sucked.  Thursday completely blew and as a matter of fact the last month has been pretty shitty. There have been some high moments over the past two years, but let’s face it, ever [...]
