praying to the LJ gods.
every time i write something in this damned thing, it erases. so now, i'm praying to the livejournal gods and hoping that this doesn't erase. so, if anyone is reading this, it made it.....if not, these words were completely useless and i will probably never type this again.
that said, things have been good. nebali is playing a few shows next month and i'm pretty excited for them because we are performing songs that i've written and that i am singing. it's weird because i've never really written an entire song before and now i've written two...and nebali is playing them. i'm a bit nervous to see how people will react to them. the first song is called "wrong again" and the second is called "irwin rd.". i never really like to let on what songs are about because i always think that it's cool when people get different meanings out of them....so hopefully, i'll hear a number of different interpretations...that is, if anyone likes them enough to actually pay attention to the lyrics. i guess i really don't know how to describe them though. "wrong again", sounds like something elliott smith and death cab might have collaborated on while "irwin rd." sounds kind of like early u2. i write on an acoustic guitar and i tend to play full chords to fill up the sound. it usually comes out pretty well, so we'll see what people think. i don't know how to describe my singing though, i guess we'll see on that too. see, i'm going to have to drink a little bit before i sing these damned things because i'll be too nervous if i don't. fuck. oh well, i'll live, right?
work is, well, work. i'm bored out of my mind unless i'm driving around listening to music. i'm so glad that i love music as much as i do, because lately it seems like i get paid to listen to music in my truck. i've been able to work on my singing too, so in a weird way, i'm getting paid to listen to music and to practice my singing. god....if only i could do that all day.
i finally heard back from a law school.....the university of detroit-mercy, and they accepted my application. so, at the very least, i know that i will be in school next year. i guess it's pretty exciting, you know, beginning a whole chapter and all that shit...but when i start school, i'll be all growns-up....(swingers). but it's nice to know that i'll be in school.
other than that, i'm going to chicago with erica for v-day..i'm not sure what we're going to do yet, but i know that we're eating at an italian restaurant at 4 pm. it's supposed to be good, so good that i made reservations today. i like the italian food.
i've been listening to a lot of elliott smith lately. i guess it goes in waves, i got back into either/or and i am quickly realizing that it's probably his best album. i also bought the polyphonic spree. it's so funny to go from "either/or" to the "the beginning stages of the polyphonic spree". going from acoustic guitar-driven, depressing songs, to multi-instrumental, uplifting choral pop music will mess with your head.... death cab still sees heavy rotation as do the cars and the police....but that's pretty much a given nowadays.
that's all i have for now......
