“I was once like you are now, and I know that it’s not easy.  To be calm when you’ve found something going on.  But take your time, think a lot.  Why, think of everything you’ve got for you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.  How can I try to explain, because when I do you turn away again.  It’s always been the same, same old story, from the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.  Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away.  I know I have to go.  It’s not time to make a change, just sit down, take it slowly.  You’re ..read more

“I’ve been looking for someone, between the fire and the flame.  We’re all looking for something to ease the pain.  Now who can you turn to when it’s all black and white?  And the winners are losers, you see it every night.  I need somebody, somebody like you.  Everybody needs somebody, I need somebody.  Hey what about you?  Everybody needs somebody.  When you’re out on the front line, and you’re watching them fall.  It doesn’t take long to realize it ain’t worth fighting for”. Damn, I just realized how long it’s been since I’ve blogged. I’ll take t ..read more

“I’m sitting here in this bar tonight, but all I’m thinking is I’m the same old story, same old act.  One step up and two steps back.  It’s the same thing night after night, thinking who’s wrong, and who’s right?  When I look at myself, I don’t see the man I wanted to be.  Somewhere along the line I slipped off track.  I’m caught moving one step up, and two steps back.” So, yea I haven’t exactly been blogging a lot lately (actually haven’t really even thought about it to be honest). I would like to think of that as a good sign though? Like maybe I’ve finally come to te ..read more

“Down by the riverside, bound to be a better ride than what you’ve got planned.  Carry your cup in your hand and look around you.  Leaves are brown now, and the sky is a hazy shade of winter.  Hang on to your hopes my friend, that’s an easy thing to say.  But if your hopes should pass away, simply pretend that you can build them again.  Look around, the grass is high, the fields are ripe, it’s the springtime of my life.  Seasons change with the scenery, weaving time in a tapestry.” So the weather today definitely presented itself as a hazy shade of winter (which o ..read more

“Yeah I know your trust has been broken, and you’re scared to leave yourself open.  And those walls are high that you’ve built, and them cracks, they were all man made and you’re trying to fix it with a band-aid.  And tell yourself it’ll help but it never will.  So while I’m waiting on you to stop chasing what’ll mistreat ya, getting temporary love that’ll leave ya.  Just getting through what broke your heart in two.  Yeah I’ll be waiting on you and become the man you’ve been needing.  Waiting for the day that you see it.  And when you do, it’ll lead you to ..read more

“I gotta take a little time to think things over.  I better read between the lines, in case I need it when I’m older.  Now this mountain I must climb, feels like a world upon my shoulders.  Through the clouds I see love shine, it keeps me warm as life grows colder.  In my life there’s been heartache and pain, I don’t know if I can face it again.  Can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far to change this lonely life.  I wanna know what love is.” So I’ve realized that I’ve been blogging less and less these days. Maybe it’s because I now have a new outlet in discussing my ..read more

“And it seems to me you lived your life, like a candle in the wind.  Never knowing who to cling to when the rain set in.  And I would’ve liked to know you, but I was just a kid.  Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did.  Loneliness was tough, the toughest role you ever played.  Hollywood created a superstar, and pain was the price you paid.” So this week has been hard for me on a personal level. And for once it has nothing to do with my love life (or the “lack of a love life” to be more precise), or with work, or family, or finances, or anything else th ..read more

“When I was younger, so much younger than today, I never needed anybody’s help in any way.  But now those days are gone and I’m not so self-assured.  Now I find I’ve changed my mind, I’ve opened up the doors.  Help me if you can, I’m feeling down.  Help me get my feet back on the ground, won’t you please, please help me?  And now my life has changed in oh so many ways, my independence seems to vanish in the haze.  But every now and then I feel so insecure, I know that I just need you like I’ve never done before.  Help me if you can?” So, I finally did it. Yep ..read more

“And when your looks are gone and you’re all alone, how many nights will you sit beside the phone?  What were the things you wanted for yourself, teenage ambitions you remember well.  It was the heat of the moment, telling you what your heart meant.  The heat of the moment shone in your eyes.”  So what was to come in your life?, your teenage ambitions? We all had them when we were young and naive I’m sure. Mine surprisingly wasn’t really anything that important or earth-shattering. I wasn’t necessarily interested in fame and fortune. Simply because I knew my limitations. I ..read more

“Tell me your troubles and doubts, giving me everything inside and out.  Love’s strange, so real in the dark.  Think of the tender things that we were working on.  Slow change may pull us apart, when the light gets into your heart.  Don’t you forget about me.  Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t you forget about me.  Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling down, down, down.  Will you stand above me, look my way and never love me?  Will you recognize me?  Call my name or just walk on by me?  Don’t you forget about me.” So after reading all of these blogs ..read more
