Something happened today that rarely happens. I got one of our own new songs stuck in my head which got me pondering over my lyrics. I've been told my lyrics are very dark by a few people, but I try to look at them a different way. I write my best when there's bad things going on in my life, it's a coping mechanism. I actually get writers block when everything is going well and have a hard time writing "happy" lyrics. So while my lyrics might seem dark and gloomy to some, I look at them as holding out hope for a better future and dreaming of better days. Art is perception and to me I find more sadness and heartbreak in a lot of songs that on the surface seem "happy" than songs of doom and gloom. Just my thought of the day...
Shit is going to hell around here. A guy I know (not a friend) shot 5 cops, killed at least 1, and is in a standoff with the police. I know way too many people affected by this and it sucks that they're going to have to deal with the fallout of this asshole.
Ugh. I think I need to get a roommate. I didn't come this far to have a roommate. I don't want a roommate. But alas, I think must get a roommate. Stupid roommate. 
I keep accepting applications and giving interviews, but can't seem to find anyone qualified for the position.
Does sticking to the high road include lobbing a rock at someone on the low road? I want to toss a rock.
