Rough Draft - Sans Lyrics

Jay Jay died tonight.

She’s been throwing up all day. And when she wasn’t, she would just sit in her chair, mouth open, trying to breathe, with fluids just spilling out of her mouth. She could barely breath. She could barely walk.

As soon as Dad got home, we both started crying. We took her to the vet immediately. She was 17 years old. Mom thinks she had cancer. I didn’t think she would make it through the year. She has been very sick and in a lot of pain. No more pain.

Nearly completed with the new album.
This is pretty close to the final versions, minus lyrics.

Another delay

For the last six months there has been this arrow in my chest. I feel the pain. I see the shaft as it moves with my breathing. But the arrow head is buried.

It hurts. Oh god the pain I’ve felt for the last half year. I just want the arrow gone.

But all the doctors have been unsure of what to do. Dragging their feet. Not wanting to perform surgery. Just dragging out the treatment so they could milk me for cash.

I thought I had found someone competant. Someone who can rip this arrow from the heart of my life. Someone who can stop the hemoraging. My golden surgeon.

Now I’m not so sure. The house still stands.

The bleeding continues

And with every crimson drop, I grow a little more weary of this life. My breathing sends a constant reminder as the protruding shaft swings like a metronome ticking away the days that it has made my life just that much more painful

They should have started tearing down my house by now.

I want to be there for it. Unfortunately, I have to be at school.
I will stop by after class, though.

This is the end of an era.
My family has been in that house for 22 years.

It’s a little staggering.

My mother goes back into surgery tomorrow.
They are going to re-operate on her hip.
She is in so much pain.

By the time she returns from the hospital, the house will be gone.
We can all start over.

John McCain just conceded.

Very eloquently. I have a lot of respect for that man and everything he said.

2 more months. Change the United States of America.

It is a fine moment to be an American. I am proud of our nation.

I’m pretty sure I’ve decided on the six songs that I am going to use for the EP I am working. I might choose less than six to save time. Use the others for a later release.

This month I am going to focus solely on lyrics. Writing them. Tuning them. Recording them.
I have 26 days to finalize them.

I need to start working on that.

Still shooting for a deadline date of January 1st, 2009.
Mostly on track for that.

Bit Rationale says to go out and vote.

It is 7:28 am.

I voted

Time to treat myself to starbucks and get ready for school

Me and the boy at the beach.

Katie took this while we were walking on the beach.
I can’t help but think of this with a comic book flair.

Jor-El and Son

Since the fire, things have been a little crazy.
No, really.

However, I have finally gotten back on track thanks to my friends and family.

For the last three months I have been writing new music. The goal is to have an EPs worth by the end of the year, and then spend 2009 getting it released. An EP s about six songs. I have seven, plus Devin is going to be sending me a couple more for evaluation. Then, once they are decided upon, we will get together and pound out the six we like.

This all needs to be done before the end of the year.

I implore you to listen to what we have up right now.
