O! How I hath forsaken you, dear blog!

O! How I hath forsaken you, dear blog!

I noticed today that I have been neglecting this blog. So, here is some of the stuff I've been working on:

1) I wrote a short story called "Love" (the title may change) It is in the process of being edited/rewritten and proofread by a couple close friends who I trust to be brutally honest. When those are done I'll post it here. I've been told it's really good, we'll see what you think.

2) Songs. LOTS of songs. I have been writing a huge number of poems and songs for my band Changes White. And here are a couple of them.

Nothing Wrong With Love
There’s nothing’ new
Under the sun
Now that everything’s
All said and done
I don’t know what to do
What to say
You aren’t even the one I want
anyway
So I say farewell to you
And your friends
Perhaps you’ll be much happier
In the end

Because there’s nothing wrong
With love
But you’re just not the one
That I’m thinking of
I won’t even miss you
When you’re gone
Maybe this is why
We are done

I want to see you happy
In the end
But not with me
Not my friends
When I’m with you it’s as if there’s
Nothing new
Under the sun
And I just want to be with
Anyone
But you.


There is nothing wrong with love (y’know there’s nothing’ wrong)
Nothing wrong with love (now that our pain is gone)
Nothing wrong with love (and we can love again)
Nothing wrong, nothing wrong (with love)
Nothing wrong, nothing wrong(with love)
Nothing wrong, nothing wrong
Nothing wrong with love

And this next one is slightly pretentious. But it's always fun to create new things, and push the limits of the line between art and pretension. Besides being slightly pretentious, it's extremely depressing. Anyway, here it is. It's called:

Well, I suppose that's a happy enough note to end on.
