Long overdue updates and fresh looks, comin soon!

Revisiting The Past.

Pulling out some old CD's as of late.
I'll be highlighting certain tracks so stay posted.
I bring them to the surface, as they apply to my life right now.
Give them a listen if you can.





















Emery
The Weak's End - 2004

The Ponytale Parades:

Three sleepless nights,
this isn't how its supposed to be.
But you are so good at
taking your time to get back to me.

I will wait for you forever,
if you would just ask me.
I thought that I could change you
but you changed me.

But it doesn't feel right,
holding someone else's hand.
Together on phone line,
and living at two opposite ends.

It scares me to think,
that you could find takers other than me
and better than me.

But you're head is elsewhere,
and I’m talking enough for both of us.
When will you see it's not (it’s not) so easy for me
you’re careless, and whispered, insulting, and bruising.

And I thought that you said
things were improving.
These laces are untied,
but my feet are still walking away.

(I fall from you eyes, your eyes I trusted, you said forever)
I never thought that you could say these words.
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words.
(Don't say...)
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words.
(Don't say that we can...)
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words.
(Don't say that we can still be...)
Is this really happening?
I never thought that you could say these words.
Is this really happening?
(Don't say that we can still be friends)

Erase my name from this page.

How can you take all these days
(What is inside of me what have I done?)
and throw them away
(Is this the only way that you will notice me?)
as I sit here waiting for you (for you)
(Dead words for closed ears all this is sung for you)

I stay up nights
(If you are still pretending this is what's right)
until stars leave the sky
(Why cant you look at me can you only see?)
knowing what my dreams can take away
(Sides, your side, can take away)
Walk away from me.
This night is done.


























Avail
Dixie - 1994

Beliefs Pile:

To be the one to swallow my pride,
I'll try but make no promises and before i go off to collect myself.
Please don't give up while there's time to be the one to swallow my pride.
I'll try but make no promises.
I'll wash myself of that feeling while I'm still wet and before i go off to collect myself.
Please don't give up
While there's time my goal is to gain the courage and smile for a while.
If I'm the first to open my arms and try well I've done mine.
I have no regrets.
I wasn't forced into this so it's all right to be the one to laugh at my pride.
I'll try and make no promises.
I'll wash myself of that feeling while I'm still wet.
I have no regrets.
I wasn't forced into this.
I'm trying to make the best of my nonsense before i go off to collect myself.
Please don't give up.

Guilty post-teen pleasure. Part 1

Saosin - Let Go Control



These Guys are really great song writers, and
the guitar is non-standard and intricate.
Sure they appeal to the 14-21 crowd, but whatever.
Emo is as ...ahem. Looking forward to the
next full release. (whatever century that will be)

It's City Paper's: Best of DC time again!

Look forward to me posting more nominees.

Endurance & Choices

Are we the sum of or choices? Do we choose or are we chosen? It can fall either way.

The only thing I'm sure of, right now, at this very moment...Is I choose to love, be successful, and, not allow those that will hate on me for being an honest and caring person to hold me back.
To those of you that have a miserable desire to keep me from what I have earned and desire. Fuck off. I am sick of your garbage and lack of compassion. If you want to get to know me before judging me, great. If you think you know who I am already without taking the time o get to know me...you are wrong. I have my faults, but basically I am an awesome person.I am trustworthy & reliable (90% of the time) Sometimes people get depressed,lose their job, etc. These single moments do not define the person.I would give the shirt off my back to anybody( provided you haven't hurt me).
I will endure. Be warned, if you continue to try and hurt me and the person(s) I love the most by driving a wedge between us. You will regret it

Yea. No more mister nice guy.

X: 2 Year Anniversary

This will be phenomenal night, featuring great music and artists, working hard to celebrate 2 years of a great thing in DC! Yours truly will be working some paint!

Change. Maybe I should start a cigarette habit?

Because I'm quitting things that are bad for me. (Okay,not everything) But I'm making it a mission to surround myself with positive people who don't seek to talk trash, take me out like the trash, or act like trash. Ya Heard?

Here's a classic clip I'm bringing out of the archives.

Stay Gold Pony Boy....



And of course....

The Get Up Kids - Stay Gold Pony Boy



Yo O...G. Do good things OK?
I mean Inaugural week is mad $ for some people. With those gnawing off each others arms and paying out the ass for someones hovel of an apartment, I'm starting to think this thing is becoming way too to consumer-driven and commercial?! Damn, maybe even trendy. Maybe this country has always been like this. Maybe I'm just bitter/jaded since the last presidency was miserable.I at least hope I have a bar shift that weekend, because hey..I need to get mine too!


Jimmy Eat World - Bleed American



"Old enough to know better, young enough to pretend....this is the last of my letters until I see you again" Put up or shut up..YEA you know who..G
