New Day
So it has been a long time since I've updated this. I finally had Caleb move out into his own place. I wanted him to move in with my buddy Keech in Chicago who also wanted a room-mate and could use the money, but Caleb didn't want to move to Chicago, so he's in a local place here for now. Its nice to have my place back to myself. I still want to help him and be a part of his life try to make a difference, he doesn't have many people on his side in life. But I'm not helping him by giving him fish, I need to help teach him how to fish for himself (some people take a long time, or a lifetime to learn ... some never do, but here's hoping he does).
In other news, things are going great with Heather. She's a really sweet girl, and really good for me, and i've met her family, they really seem to like and just accept me, which is important and different from my ex's. Its been 3 months now with Heather and I see it lasting for the forseeable future. The fact that she's young and in college and its somehwat long distance are the couple of possible issues,but its been fine so far.
Made some new music with Miles who has come a long way as a guitar player he amazes me. I wrote a song about Freeport, IL. Here are the lyrics:
"A Place I Once Called Home"
My city, she sleeps - Sound and deep
Under the stars - and the watch of corvine eyes
And the Soothing sounds - Of the hyenas cackling call
My city, she screams - "come into me"
Her ports are free -
But you will never find
A more wretched hive - of scum and debris
And every crack, now a chasm
And every flaw I never saw
I put her petal up on a pedestal
So far, so far ... for her to fall.
And sometimes I pray to god -
To bring down a firey flood
And wash away this place
From the face of the earth
So she can be reborn
And every crack, now a chasm
And every flaw I never saw
I put her petal up on a pedestal
So far, so far ... for her to fall.
My city, she bleeds - Is it her that has changed or is it me?
I once wanted nothing more - Than to return to her womb
A place I once called home
