Be yourself and be confident about yourself and your dreams. When you write something, write clearly and fully--don't use acronyms, because you might think it makes you look in vogue or cool or in with the times. Words exist for a reason. The English language is a world class language for many reasons, and no matter which language you use, use it to the fullest of your abilities. Learn new words everyday. Use a dictionery. Read about the history of words. Do you know what nouns, verbs, prepositions, adverbs and adjectives are? Do you know what case means? Do you know what tense or mood means? Find out. Do you think your blogs are cool; do you know what people really think of you? What kind of people do your blogs attract? Why are the chatters there? Are they bored and vacuous? Life you life to learn and grow everyday and be nice to people. Don't hide in your little shell of acronyms and avaitors or emoticons. Be real even though you are broadcasting on the internet.

When you find it
it feels good.

ROAD CALLED LIFE

(D5)I been travelling down the (F5th fret)road called life
sometimes I don’t know which way to go
been trying to find peace of mind
the room has shadows I am told
sometimes the weight takes it toll
neon lights the fog so cold
C/B bassOh no, don’t go
C/B bassGot to have you, got to know
C/B bassDo you love me, let me know.C/B bass

I been thinking that I am doing alright
you got to know the way to show
mainly find a bottleneck along the line
the moon casts shadows on my soul
sometimes the place feels so cold
I lost a friend where did she go?
C/B bassOh no, don’t go
C/B bassGot to have you, got to know
C/B bassDo you want me, let it show.Gmaj9/Amaj9 C/B bass


I been taking home the load I’d find
sometimes I don’t know when to let go
been trying to find only a trace of time
It’s really not what we know
sometimes the way won’t unfold
I face the wind again so cold
C/B bassOh no, don’t go
C/B bassGot to have you, got to know
C/B bassDo you love me, let me know.Gmaj9/Amaj9 C/B bass

This is a song I have recently had copyrighted and I am working on the composition currently with GarageBand. I have a simple version on myspace. Hope you might like this.

I used to feel bad because nobody could understand me.
I used to think someday I could tell them how I feel.
Now I know I've only got myself.
And part of all the people I know,
nobody really takes the place.
Nobody has the space, I wanted to see
Please help me feel, help me feel
Like I need to feel, like I want to be.

Don't want no talk, no distraction
Wanna move on, don't wanna stay here
The love, the hate, the smoke of the fire,
I see the black and the white,
Oh, no, I got that down feeling again.
I heard a story from a friend who knows
what you said to me was just a lie
Been all my life, ain't got nobody, Ain't got nobody at all.
I'm just a stray on the lonely road,
It's my own damn fault, sometimes I'm just kidding.
but it hits so hard, when I didn't mean it so strong.


You used feel bad cause nobody could understand you.
You used think someday you could tell them what is real.
Now, you know you only have yourself
and just a part of the people you know.
Nobody has the time. Nobody want to find
what you wanted to be Try to feel
Can;t you feel, like you need to feel
like you want to be.

I used to feel bad because nobody could understand me.
I had to tell them that I am real.
Now I know I 've only got myself
and part of the people I know
nobody really takes the place.
nobody has the space
I wanted to see
Please help me feel, help me feel
like I need to feel, like I want to be.
