to scrap or not to scrap?
posted by rosebleed @ 1:58 AM
jim yells at me because I won't throw anything out. but I started writing a song and I must've been listening to something weird at the time and it had a definite influence on it. it's sort of uninteresting and not really my style, but in listening to my rough recording and playing it over and over, I like it more and more. It was pretty much 4 lines, but I'm going to get rid of the last one, so as it is, it's just this:
sunny skies never did it for me
severed ties have their hold on me
over-thinking, ever failing
not much, huh? we'll see.
but I want to know the supposed 4 guests are that were on here a second ago. a very strange occurance (pathetic, no?). but anyway.
been thinking about doing some site promotion, but I'm not sure if I should, did I explain this already? I'd really like a domain, but I can't figure out what, as most things could be easily misspelled, I sort of don't like the site address as it is...9:34pm
edit:
sunny skies never did it for me
severed ties have their hold on me
over-thinking, ever failing
always sinking, I've been lingering here
not much to read, but it sounds good (jim helped a bit). I guess that means I'm keeping it. 7/10/04
wrote some more to it. I didn't want to post this because I was onto something and I didn't want to fuck it up. but then I fucked it up. so here's my chorus/verse/stanza/thing. somewhat of a variation on a scrapped theme (the 'colder' thing for anyone who read it before I killed it or heard the recording).
and sometimes it gets cold
waiting for someone to call on me
and when I fall
I fall so hard
and talk about broken images, what's up with that. I get to see all the bad web design where some of the images have set sizes and others don't. hah. only I would give a shit about that.

it's just always something

I thought I kicked ass at eastenders tonight.
no, really.
it's not often you find me saying something positive, but despite not being terribly warmed up (I must've been a little, I sang a bit before I left), I think I sounded really good tonight. I even managed to pull off thimbelina on an acoustic. I made a few guitar mistakes here and there, but still.
but I played third (after michelle monté and this guy kyle who plays there regularly, michelle sang a song with him, was cool)... and not many people were there, it was very hard to keep people's attention. one girl did say I did well though (another girl waved to me when I got there, I thought that was cool, as anti-social as I am).
I only played early cuz I sort of just wanted to get it over with. I've had a pretty shit day to be honest. and I keep forgetting to mention my website (something I actually did at the library, as if anyone would remember what I said). I've played there three times now and haven't mentioned it once.
on the way there I walked too close to a doorway that someone was walking out of, I apologized for getting in the way and kept walking. I swear the guy called me a "hood ho", if he wasn't talking to me, I don't know who he could've been talking to. but the air smelled all summery and salt-watery (in a good way), and I thought of a cool line:
this is how I want to feel life
but this isn't how I want my life to feel
I may reword it a bit and maybe use it in something.
so yeah, the library show was pretty awesome, jim said I was "very charismatic", I guess seeing all these comedians has gone to my head, cuz that's totally what I felt like (I also felt like a complete moron). rachael wasn't there but we didn't get to practice anyway (I really suck). I murdered burn away, but I really only played it as a warm up song. I have a very short digital video of me playing falling, but I don't know if the camera mic is crappy or if I sounded pretty bad... but playing it I thought I sounded pretty good, so who knows. I still need a title for my damn song.
so I'm going to see eva tomorrow, that should be cool. one of these days I'm gonna ask becky if I could sing backups for one of their songs, but knowing me I'd forget the words.
