Amos Lee Live!

I saw Amos Lee last night at the House of Blues in Anaheim. It was incredible! His show was so amazing! His music is so amazing and he sings so effortlessly! It was so soulful and amazing! I have a video of a song on my phone... I'll figure out how to post it soon! If you have a chance, pick up his new album "Mission Bell." So worth it!

2011... So Far.

This has been an interesting month so far. A very close friend of mine from work just got laid off the other day. It was completely corporate's decision, but still, it sucks. He is eligible to be rehired instantly and he says he'll reapply for any open position, but still it sucks. It lowers morale around the store and puts people on edge. I am being moved to a great position in my store which will make me Monday through Friday! I can't wait. I have been working retail for so long, its nice to finally land a Mon-Fri gig! As for my social life, its fairly non-existent, although my softball and baseball seasons start soon! I can't wait to be out playing again! I have been playing and writing a lot of new music, as well. I am going to start a new musical project with some musician buddies I have. We are going to get together this weekend to begin recording and writing. We all play such different styles of music, so I think we can fuse together to make some amazing tunes! We'll see!!!

After Seeing You Last Week, This Song Sums It Up...

Most Of The Time...

Most of the time
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path
I can read the sign
Stay right with it when the road unwinds
I can handle whatever
I stumble upon
I don't even notice she's gone
Most of the time.

Most of the time
It's well understood
Most of the time
I wouldn't change it if I could
I can make it all match up
I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation right down to the bone
I can survive and I can endure
And I don't even think about her
Most of the time.

Most of the time
My head is on straight
Most of the time
I'm strong enough not to hate
I don't build up illusion 'til it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time.

Most of the time
She ain't even in my mind
I wouldn't know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
Most of the time
I can even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was ever with her

Most of the time
I'm halfway content
Most of the time
I know exactly where it went
I don't cheat on myself
I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings that are buried inside
I don't compromise and I don't pretend
I don't even care if I ever see her again
Most of the time.

Confused...

Not really sure what I'm doing. I am looking for faults in people to justify not wanting to hang out with them. I'm looking for a spark that is absent in my life. The spark that lit the fire within me before. I'm just not finding it...

I Know That Its A Wonderful World, But I Can't Feel It Right Now...

Keep Me In Your Heart For A While...

"Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house, maybe you'll think of me and smile. You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse. Keep me in your heart for a while. Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams, touch me as I fall into view. When the winter comes, keep the fires lit and I will be right next to you. "

Things I've Learned In 2011

  • Whiskey Pong is a bad idea. No matter how good it sounds at the time.
  • The whole "It was New Years Eve" excuse cannot be used on January 2, 3, 4, etc...
  • Neighbors will inevitably hate me. Especially when streaking around my apartment complex. Singing at the top of my lungs. At 3 in the morning.
  • There is no way, ever, to talk your way out of wiping your ass on someone's pillow. Own up to it. Be a man.
  • If you're going to throw up out of your bedroom window, remember there is a screen. Remove BEFORE drinking.
  • Drinking in the hospital parking lot is frowned upon by the general public. And the cops.

Hippo Gnu Deer!

I'm pretty sure I was streaking through the hallways of my apartment complex at 3am singing "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse.
