Return of the Future
"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."-Berthold Auerbach
You know, it recently ocurred to me that I'm a hard person to understand, but it's not that I'm so deep of a thinker or anything, I'm just hard to understand to some people. The truth is, I like it that way, because if you're easy to figure out, then you're doing something wrong. My interests in things are one thing that some people have a hard time understanding, but you see, I'm the type of person that wants to know everything about what I'm interested in. Take music, for example, I've read on the hstory of country music, and I know a lot about a lot of different artists. It's not because I like or want to impress anyone, but it's because I like to know for myself...which is why they call it an interest. However, if you're one of my friends, then you know that I'm a pretty simple guy.
I have jumped head first back into writing songs, and I'm loving it. I'm in a groove creatively that I haven't been in for a very long time. In the past like two weeks, I've written like three songs and have other ideas written down, and I'm happy to be doing it again. One main person that has inspired me is young country artist, Taylor Swift. The girl is 16 and she sings, writes her lyrics, her lyrics, and plays a 12 string guitar. I learned from her that you don't always have to write songs with deep and complicated lyrics, and that was good for me to learn, because for so long, I tried to write like that. However, recently, I've taken simple ideas and simple lyrics and put them down on paper. I recently wrote a song about my motivation to do this for a living, and I really think that it's one of my best. The point is, I feel like I've found my motivation again.
Well, finally my car is just about ready to be put on the road again, and it's about time, because I've been doing nothing for far too long, but that's about to change. I needed a new radiator, new battery, new tag, and last but not least, a new tire. I've got the radiator and battery, and I'm only waiting on the tag and the tire, but after that, I'm good to go. As far as work goes, the first two places that I'm going are Convergys and Fresh Beginnings, but beyond that, it's just going to take a whole lot of looking. I'm really, really hoping to work at Convergys, but I'm just gonna have to wait and see what happens when the time comes.
Maybe I'm strange, but I do not have a best friend. There are people in my life that are very close to me, but I don't have a best friend. In my opinion, I think it's wrong categorize people like that. Take Lance for example, I've known the man for about 21 years, but his seniority doesn't mean that he's my best friend. There was a time when I hung out with just Tony a lot, but the same goes with him. I just have friends. I have different groups of friends, yes, but no one group is any better than the other.
Well, this just hasn't been the Braves' season, but sooner or later, this was going to happen. They still have an outside shot at the NL Wildcard, but in order to win it or have a chance at winning it, they'll need to put together a long and consistant winning streak. The pitching from the starters and relievers have been our downfall this season, but our offense is incredible if you look at their numbers. Brian McCann is having anything but a sophomore slump...he's just incredible. LaRoche is on his way to a 30 HR season. Andruw Jones is...well, Andruw Jones. I could go on, believe me. I look for a lot of changes to the pitching staff over the offseason, and if that's the case, then here's hoping for a great 2007. GO BRAVES!!!
That'll do it, folks. Later.
