Leah, since I can't email you. At least not on here, I hope you haven't blocked me from your real email, and have read what I had to say. But, in case you didn't read it. I'll sum it up in 4 words:
So, we are suppose to have a current picture of our self's? Well that's funny. CS, must think I'm a Rottweiler, but I guess my main picture is acceptable, since it's current. LOL
there's not suppose to be a pict. and you should hear more than just bass and drums, such as organ? cow bell (can't remember for sure) and a few other instruments
No they're not a reflection of me or my childhood @ Leah
I wouldn't know where to begin to sell my lyrics or poems.
Didn't anyone notice the multiple references to different bands? At least two.
I've been hesitant to share my lyrics and poems over the years, close friends have read them, because I didn't want people to think they were a reflection on me, of my life or whatever. They are more like a third person view. Granted some might have personal references. But not entirely. One of my lyrics for example that I wrote, I wrote because of what a friend had said, and he wasn't able to get it out in the form of a song. He was a drummer in a band at the time. So I took his thought and turnd it into a lyric, and got it right on for what he was trying to say, but couldn't.
When I wrote, it was pretty much.....get a line that sounded good and another that sounded good and rhymed with it, and then build line after line.
I really wish I had my lyrics from when I first started writing. These are from my second phase of writing and are second rate compared to my first phase
Well that's enough rambling, I should either get up or go back to sleep.
Dig deeper into the poem and it will make sense. Also look at the rhyming structure. Some lines rhyme only at the end with other lines, some at the beginning and some through out
Fact #11: The starting salary for the worst NFL player is about 10-15 times higher than a good teachers salary. (source: wiki answers. I'm sure the results are similar on other web sites)
All for a sport, that kids and even non professional adults play all the time. Pretty pathetic if you ask me, that pro sports players, get paid so much more than teachers, yet they don't contribute to the advancement of our youth. If you ask me, pro athletes should be some of the lowest paid people.
I meant, " I guess people aren't reading…". So ignore the word "rant" in my previous post.
Thanks.
Oh, how do I edit my comments, after I've posted them?
To: Welela, Yes I have long hair, it must be my Viking ancestory flowing through my veins and out of my scalp. So, that is what is with that. What's with the short hair? :). Being as that I'm part Norwegian, we just might be distant relatives. :)
I'm guessing people rant reading the dates of these lyrics and poems, that I've posted so far. This one in particular is from 1995, nearly 2 decades ago.
Also, like a lot of songs that you may hear, the songs subject matter, and /or story may or may not be about the singer or the writer of the lyrics.
The lyrics for back road man were inspired by a mix of things, mainly one of my friends. Some parts of the story were true, some probably changed. Some lines and words were used simply to make the story flow, the lines rhyme.
None of my friends including me at the time went to bars. My friend, probably did own a regal at the time and probably did have to drive the back roads as there are less cops (as he had no ins)
I did own a mopar (a '73 Furry 3) a few years earlier. Btw. Buick made the regal.
I'm going back to sleep. Hope y'all enjoy(ed) the story of the lyrics.

Leah, since I can't email you. At least not on here, I hope you haven't blocked me from your real email, and have read what I had to say. But, in case you didn't read it. I'll sum it up in 4 words:I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING.
