It's been so long since I've been able to update, at least for me. I've only got about ten minutes to get my ass back downstairs. I came up to Louisville to get away from school for the holiday weekend. Just a stress-free thing. Boy, did I need it. What with the mess at home, the roommate situation ( Yes, there is an update on that. ) and everything else.. I feel like I haven't been able to spill one drop of the creative.
Well, guess what.. There's this wonderful street here called Bardstown. It's just a long street of the eclectic, lounges, shops, high-scale and low-scale restaurants, clubs, coffee houses and the like.. so I took myself on down there. Long walk short, I joined this throng of people listening to two guys playing guitar, started vocalizing, and spent about two.. three something hours singin' with them. It was... god. Orgasmic. Amazing.. the best exorcism of stress I've had in a very long time. My claim to fame way back when was my ability to pick up tune and tone and lyric. It's fairly easy for me. So's readin' a person's lips, whether I know the song or not, I can pull it off. So! I'm getting ready to go back in a bit. Meet them in another locale. Ha. God. I'm just.. psyched. It's rare for me to sing in public, I haven't for years, not since I quit the stage and all that. The fact that I broke from the mold and did so? Probably reason being was that I was alone.. didn't feel that intimacy of familiarity, you know? Anyway, got to go. Need to feel all artsy chick.
And sing. I might put myself on here somehow.. if I can figure it out. I don't know, I still owe Alexious my voice.
Some of my favorite lyrics of the moment.:
"I'll try not to rely..
Try not to rely on the perfect line.
And I see no boundaries..
Except for the ones I'm in.
And I don't expect you to overcome them..
For that's my job description.
In a world of players and private eyes..
Unless you realize this..
There's a whole lot you could miss.
Do you know which one I am..?
I am the cigarette smoking man.
Once an hour I light the flower..
And burn baby burn."
