Chapter 5 in The Dream

I just finished Chapter 5 in my story that I've been working on. I apologize for both the lack of length and lack of plot in this latest addition, but there needs to always be a calf before a storm and then the fact that I'm in the hospital and haven't eaten for a couple days may help account for that. Yes... I'm asking for a sympathy read... lol

Debt...

Lol... Have you ever been in debt? I'm talking about a debt that you would never be able to repay if you took all the years of your life and tried... (No, I'm not talking about salvation... the situation we all are in...) A debt that you not only owe to one person, but three? Lol... sorry... inside joke... Isn't it weird how inside jokes are only funny if you are, well, on the inside? Post some comments on here that are inside jokes and explain them (If you want to)! They're always better when more people know! Here are some inside jokes I have with various friends:

I can do that.

Metal. The Genre.

Want some cheese?

I'm pretty sure it's spelled with an "a"

How appropriate. You fight like a cow.

There's this pirate ship, and it was a rockin' and a rollin'

The next best thing that could be happening.

When I look in the mirror I see someone else.

Gloham, Danny the Baker, The pink samuri (ROTFLOL)...

Never assume...

The answer is always "no"

Well slap my boat!

Arthritis

Fight without winning!

One is the Lonliest Number

I know it's a little soon for me to be releasing another recording, but I had some free time and I thought it would be fun to put this song out. (I've been trying to work on it for a couple days now).
Some lowlights:

-The fact that it is just above my range as you can see in the chorus (One chorus especially).

-The fact that the timing is slightly off for much of the track.

Some highlights:

-This is the new record for most instruments in a single track and most tracks layed over each other for the majority of a song. (I have Bass Guitar, Acoustic guitar, piano, and some bgv's).

- I love this song... lol

Please check it out and post some comments...

Shut Me Out

Kutless has some pretty amazing lyrics with some of their songs, and this is one of them. This is definately one of my favorite songs of late. I know some people who read my blog may not actually care for the style of the song so here are the lyrics for it if you want to read them:

Tell me something I don't already know
I know that you can't stand these things I'm preaching in the streets
But how can I contain the truth I hold inside
With all the hurting people that I see so I don't mind
Putting up with you, and all the things you say
I'm not about to stop or even change my ways

[CHORUS:]
There's nothing you can say
That will take me away from this life
There's nothing you can do
To shut me up when I'm speaking the truth

Into the bridge and ending last line:
(to shut me up, to shut me out when I'm speaking the truth)

You may not like all I have to say
But you can't prove that everything is filled with empty words
I know my life and inside how I've changed
A testimony to the truth I speak, so I don't mind
Putting up with you, and all the things you say
I'm not about to stop or even change my ways

Hey Now (The Way You Make Me Feel)

I was goofing off with my new guitar when I decided to record a simple little song by FM Static. The song is the bonus track on their first cd and it doesn't really have a title. All of the websites I see say that the song is called "Hey Now", but I think "The Way You Make Me Feel" would be a better title... Lol... but it was already taken by Michael Jackson... Of course, Hey Now was taken by Tobymac... You can check it out on the Imagine Cup Winners website.

The Story in the Dream

Recently, as some of you know, I had a very very strange dream. I thought it would make some very interesting reading material if I wrote it down. I don't actually remember the whole dream, and what I remember is very vague, but I have the general principles down which makes for a great story when I add in the rest of the details as well as some original ones. I have posted the first chapter in this story under the title of "The Murder". You can find this on the new blogspot site under http://thestoryinthedream.blogspot.com/. I have also posted a link on the side of my blog. Post some comments on the chapter about what you think. It's definately a different direction for me... I usually write light hearted things. The "Darkest" thing I'd written was my Kingdom Hearts story, which was also very light spirited. (Comparatively). Anyway... That's what I have to say...
