"I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath"

I once again am writing in this thing, for how long...who knows. The posts lately have been sporatic at best, but I have been having a hard time thinking of things to say. That is not to say I haven't been thinking, but I don't have the same urge to write in an online journal as much...and when I do, I never somehow get the computer( thank my brother for that one).

I will be honest when I say that I have had a hard time lately writing lyrics. I can usually crank out idea after idea for a song....but my style has changed. I find myself becoming *gasp* more mellow and introspective in my lyrics. It is emotionally draining now to dig up old feelings or memories that would be good fodder for song. I will say this though, when I do end up writing a song....it is better than anything I have written before. So have I switched quantity for quality? I sure hope so.

I refuse to write the obligatory "end of the year, I will miss this place" entry. Everyone has the same thing to say, we have all heard it before...we will hear it again.Everyone knows how I feel at this point, and yes...I will miss all of you. I just don't want to slam it down everyone's throats.

I wonder sometimes....then again sometimes I don't.

Is everyone really that complacant that they refuse to stand up for what they really believe? It has been a very longtime since I have heard an original viewpoint on a topic of importance. Life is not black and white, the gray area is what seperates those who think for themselves and those who do not. I am guilty of this trespass as much as anyone else, I am too much of a coward to truly speak my mind. I plan to change that though, hopefully.

Here it is folks, Brian Keefe's super amazing song of the day: Earth, Wind and Fire- September

Thanks for looking at the rambling.
