New Song

Here's a new song, Its still under production, I haven't quite taught myself out to play it yet. hehe. But Im getting this one ready for the Atlanta open mic contest. I think it could win...WOOT!

8am
I’m gonna be late to work again
This traffic jam is not what I need

I’ve got no excuse and boss is gonna be mad
I’ll get to workin on my story on the way

I know what youre thinkin
because I’ve thought it all
Why not try and slip on in real small
But common baby that’s not reality
when you find yourself out in a cubicle

My cubicle oh oh my cubicle
Five squares on the floor
And four feet up my walls

I can’t take the scruchin don’t they know how tall I am
I can’t take the lack of privacy

“Don’t they know I wasn’t meant to live so small
No I don’t like this cubicle at all”

I know my baby wrote me a 10 kilobyte email
I know that phone calls coming in just for me
But the guy behind me and the girl over to my left
Can see everything little thing I view
Heaven forbid I do want I want to do
Cuz theres no life working in a little cube

My cubicle oh oh my cubicle
Five squares on the floor
And four feet up my walls

I can’t take the scruchin don’t they know how tall I am
I can’t take the lack of privacy

“Don’t they know I wasn’t meant to live so small
No I don’t like this cubicle at all”

Ellenor on the second floor just called to bitch me out
Seems I forgot to send a fax that we’d been talkin about
Now my first inclination in that situation is make faces and roll my eyes
But you can’t do that when the lady’s best friend is sittin on the other side
Of my cubicle oh oh my cubicle
Five squares on the floor
And four feet up my walls

I can’t take the scruchin don’t they know how tall I am
I can’t take the lack of privacy

“Don’t they know I wasn’t meant to live so small
No I don’t like this cubicle at all”

But I can pay my rent
Have a bottle in my hand
I can buy guitar strings
And make payments on my van
Don’t hear what I’m not sayin
If the bossmans here at all
Please don’t file eviction on my tight position in my cubicle
Oh my cubicle oh oh my cubicle

listless

I'm not sure what is going on in my head, but i'm very uninspired lately. i feel like there is so much more I should be doing, but its like i'm watching life from through a window. like i have no real impact on the story, i just sit and watch it unfold and hope the story starts getting adventurous. I'm chosing to call it uninspired because that still leaves the door open for me to have some kind of impact. Like if i could just muster up some passion for something I would be able to find some great purpose and meaning in what I'm doing. I'm thinking about all the kids going back to school and the college students heading off for a new year, and I'm finding that I'm jealous. My life doesnt cycle like that anymore. There is no rise and fall with the seasons. There is no connection to the calendar. Everyday bleeds by in the same numbing pattern. My clothes barely even change with seasons anymore. everyday finds itself looking exactly like the last: wake up l...

whats your self worth?

People have said, something is only worth what someone would pay for it. If what you're selling, no one is buying, then what you have is pretty worthless. But there are stores out there that sell all kinds of things and so the market makes room for them. People are the same. Some people are beautiful, but useless for more than their looks. Like a painting they are worth a lot because people see them as rare.But, some people can go their whole lives without decorating. Some people are useful and so are worth a lot because they fulfill some purpose. Hardworking, or smart, they are seen has having some value that makes them worth the investment. Then there are people I'd characterize as novelty people. You buy them because you've just never seen anything like them. They're especially entertaing or unique. They don't cost a lot, so you can't pass them up. Then there are bargain people. They don't cost much, arent worth much and don't last long. They fill a s...

Musical Unity: A response to Michael Gungor

When I first started listening to Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) the only people around were Amy Grant and Michael W Smith. Maybe Kathy Tricolli and Sandi Patty...Any maybe Carmen, but why mention Carmen? Shortly before I started listening to CCM there was no such thing as CCM. The 80s were just about a barren wasteland for Christian entertainment. We had a handle on good old Gospel and regular people started writing worship music. My life wouldn't be the same without Keith Green. But then came the 90s. WHAT an AMAZING time!! Right? DC talk, Audio Adrenaline, Newsboys, OC Supertones...Holy Music COW! If you were a young Christian, you could turn your radio up proudly and still feel cool. It was EPIC. From 15-21 I didn't listen to much other than CCM. Only the cool CCM of course. The stuff that the local Christian radio station only played on Friday Nights. Then I hit 21 and was, practically overnight, too cool for CCM. I bought a soapbox on top of which I declared ...
