hoo-ray for a new day

Got a song all finished. Not too embarrased about the lyrics, and the chord progression is borderline awesome. So here it is. Let me know what you think. Even if you think it sucks.

The lights tick past at a steady clip
My hair greases the window, my teeth tug on my lip
I look and I listen to the beauty that surrounds me
Maybe if I try real hard, and minding its fraility
It'll find its way to me too
Some days I can almost believe it's true

And soon, I'll sotp throwing away everything I do
In a fit of disgust
And soon, I'll start coaxing words back out of my mouth
And relearn how to speak

I think it's the vast distances between my thoughts
That keeps me disconnected like a two-piece cross

As if watching family movies in the living room

The dead speak again, but it's a bit too soon

But it's an urge to end this lonliness that spurs my feet
Past the sterile office builidings down into the sun-soaked street

These lyrics are copyright... umm... me, so please don't be a fucktard and steal them.

It's Friday night. I am at home, watching TV. I am the kid that got lost during a field trip. I have been left behind at the museum. I am alone, and they're locking the doors. Why hasn't the bus turned around yet?

i'm back from the war, gimme some a'lovin'

Goodness gracious me it has been a while since I posted. Not sorry. Not even a little.

I had skin cancer removed from the back of my neck today. Fifteen stitches, a new family record. I sorta held the old record with ten. It's no big thing, though. To be honest, this sort of thing is pretty weak to be called cancer. Scott and I are still making a "I Kicked Cancer's Ass" tee.

I was at Target today and a familiar tune caught my ear. I turned and saw none other than Conor Oberest and friends wailing away with "Four Winds" on the TV. A little part of me died inside.
