Here's some lyrics to a Pearl Jam song that I listened to tonight. Enjoy.

Marker In The Sand
Pearl Jam

There is a Marker,
No one sees it cause of sand
That has covered over
All the messages it kept
From misunderstanding,
What Original Truth was
And now expanding
In a faith, but not in love...

What went wrong?
Walking tightrope high
Over moral ground.
Seeing visions of
Falling up somehow.
Oh do come down
With the living, let
What is living love.
So unforgiving, yet
Needing forgiveness first...

God, what do you say?

Those undecided
Needn't have faith to be free.
And those misguided,
There was a plan for them to be...
Now you got both sides
Claiming 'killing in god's name'.
But god is nowhere
To be found, conveniently...

What goes on?
Walking tightrope high
Over moral ground.
Walk the bridges be-
-fore you burn them down!
Do come round
With the living, let
What is living love.
Unforgiving, yet
Needing forgiveness first...

God, what do you say?
God, what do you say?

I feel a sickness...
A sickness coming over me
Like watching freedom
Being sucked straight out to sea
And the solution?
Well, from me far would it be
But the delusion
Is feeling dangerous to me

What goes wrong?
Walking tightrope high
Over moral ground.
Seeing visions of
Falling up somehow.
Oh, do come down
With the living, let
What is living love,
Unforgiving...yet
Needing forgiveness first?

Oh, what do you say?
God, what do you say?

What do you say?

Calling out, calling out

To Bat It Down Is The Only Way To Beat It

People in Denver are stuck up.

Example #23983849:

The sticker price is the price, unless it's on sale. I have nothing to do with setting the prices at my store. If you want it that badly, swallow your pride and buy it at Wal-mart like the rest of us "unsophisticated" folks do. You are wasting your breath yelling at me about it.

Example #95839483:

Leave for work just five minutes earlier and you won't have to rear-end me or sideswipe me to get into your preferred lane on the interstate. I really will "pay it forward" and let you ahead of me if you do it in a courteous manner.

Example #58495940:

When placing a "help wanted" ad on craigslist and receive my very interested reply, I would greatly appreciate it if you would respond. Even to tell me I'm not qualified to take your open position would be better than ignoring my inquiry. I would very much like the door to be officially closed than believe there remains a sliver of hope you'll want me to work for you.


I've got alot more gripes, but I feel like I'm wearing out my own welcome on Blogspot.

Off to peruse music-centric employment opportunities.

Tagged

I got tagged. I s'pose I'll fill this out before I get ready for work.


10 years ago:

I was attending Chadron State College, hosted a daring attempt at "Live Band Karaoke" for homecoming, sported a short and spikey blonde hairdo, and began the "Buddy Holly Glasses" trend in northeastern Nebraska.

Things on my To-Do List today:

1. Eat my leftover fish taco.

2. Shower, cuz I'm getting ripe.

3. Work at B&N.


Three Bad Habits:

1. I watch too much midday tv.

2. I chew my nails and occasionally pick my nose.

3. I swear at city traffic.


If suddenly I became a billionaire:

My bills will finally get paid. I buy us a new car. I build a studio. I record, release, and promote my music on my terms. I pay off mom's house and buy me and my wife a house.
After that, I have no idea, perhaps retire to the beach with Katrina and write.


Five jobs I have had:

1. Ice Cream jockey.

2. Library slave.

3. Rib-packer.

4. Radio guy.

5. CD slinger.


Five things you might not know about me:

1. I have extreme needle-phobia.

2. I like tapioca pudding.

3. I have a closet dream of being a storm chaser.

4. I've eaten gizzards as a meal.

5. The first rock concert I attended was Petra, back in 1987.


Heath, Jenny, and Matt Jackson, you're it.

There will probably be more posts, but for now that's a taste of it. Email for more details of what went down.

Hello, I'm Johnny Cash...

Okay, not so much.

What is it with classic country music?

When I was younger, I hated it. Abhorred it. My only exposure to country music was in my early years with Alabama, Oak Ridge Boys, and Eddie Rabbitt. And Hee Haw. And later, TNN at my grandma's.

Then I went to junior high and got into heavy metal. Stayed in headbanger mode for a long time. Then I got a job at a country radio station in College, and that flipped a switch in me.

Now, I can't imagine not ever liking Waylon, Willie, Johnny, or George...

I'm a weirdo.

My Darling Moonshine

Hey gang,

Just wanted to remind you to check out our song, My Darling Moonshine, on a special Unsigned band page supported by Clearchannel. Remember kids, the more plays we get, the more likely we may be considered for airplay on KBCO Denver!

Thanks a whole stinkin lot!
