 A song, stuck in my head for awhile now.  A local band that is well worth exploring.  The Ripperz... Check them out.  "...Tonight, I'm a lonely soldier... and I think I've seen too much..." The Ripperz - Tonight Tonight, I'm a sinking ship Tragic end, a tragic story Tonight, I'm a house on fire Goin down, blaze of glory Can you lift me up, can you carry me home Can you lift me up, can you carry me home Tonight Tonight, I'm an empty room Waitin for your touch Tonight, I'm a lonely soldier And I think I've seen too much Can you lift me up, can you carry me home Can you lift me up, can you carry me home I wanna go home Tonight Tonight, I'm an achin heart Can't stop the bleeding Tonight, I'm fallin apart Piece by piece by piece by piece with the beating Can you lift me up, can you carry me home Can you lift me up, can you carry me home I wanna go home Tonight Carry me home...

  Sometimes you need to recharge and just rest up for your work week. We've all had those times where all of those 'not great' things in life just drop on you in the same day/week/month etc...   I've had me one of those weeks. The last seven days have been up and down but mostly down and that sucks. Being exceptionally ill for most of it just doesn't help you cope with life, you know, between sneezes, nausea, coughing and waking up every hour because you can't breath at night.     Yeah... That's just one aspect of the week I endured.     Sometimes you need to recharge. Physically, mentally, emotionally.  ...   And other times... Well, other times you need to get yourself all alone and work out your mind and body and emotions till they are all too damn tired to plague you at night and make you feel like a bruised up turd in an alleyway.      This sort of illustrates it for you    Pretty descriptive huh? Yeah, I kn...

  I play guitar. Not well, mind you, but with heart and soul. My inspiration has always been Eddie Vedder. From my angsty youth to my full blown adulthood his various tracks, riffs, and melodious (or gut wrenching) lyrics have been there in the background, a patchwork soundtrack to a life.    The newest release, Sirens is now out and although mellow, is a pretty solid track.   I'm plugging this for a few reasons; Pearl Jam has earned an ode. This band is why I play and love music as much as I do. Them and the Police.    In the video you might notice a 12 strong acoustic. It's a huge pain in the ass to play but sounds like angels singing. My first two years of learning guitar were on a 12 string.  Murder on the fingers but worth it.   Lastly, these lyrics are poignant and for me, appropriate to the times.     I hope you enjoy it, gentle readers... Now stop reading and start listening... The link is the song. The lyrics are below if y...

Sometimes, when I'm talking to people, I get the suspicious notion that they are hearing/seeing this... " Beaker : [ singing ] Mee-mee-mee-mo." -direct IMDB quote, in case you doubted  Beeker just doesn't get enough face time so yeah... Any excuse!

  I have decided to give the old site a bit of a makeover tonight.  Try for something a little different, easier to read (Ive had complaints) and just an easier-on-the-eyes experience while you visit.   I confess that most of my recent blogging has been done purely through my iPhone app, which I'm duly impressed with, but the reason for that was pretty basic. And embarrassing.   Yep. I couldn't remember my password... and even got jammed up in the resetting portion. It sucked and since the app worked, I just rolled from that.  I've finally 'un-fucked' myself on my home computer and here we are! ...um...  Ta Da?  Anyway, I was recently told to check out the "22 rules of storytelling for Pixar".  It's a bunch of smart and focused pointers on how to write Pixar script ideas but really are for anyone who has any interest in writing at all.  Or reading.  You know... like whats happening right now?   Here is the link.  Go ...
