Got this from talkbass

Abstract: Maybe what Granny used to say was correct? "Honey, you can't let the girls(originally boys but I changed it) know you like them too much. If you do, they'll dry up like dew on a hot day. Keep a little distance, baby. Makes 'em have to really get to know you. And then you'll know which one you like best!"

How true.

Poor blokes can't afford paying for dates

I haven't been dating in a really long time. In other words, I am rich!

Hahaha. I still don't understand why some girls will want their dates to pay. Seriously, we are kids, and aren't kids supposed to be filial, understand that your parent's money is hard to earn and we should be saving for our future, not squandering on dates that won't even get you laid(Or maybe I'm the only loser around still not getting laid). Some guys starve(I know 'em) just to pay on dates.

Alright let's try calculating the overall cost for an average middle income kid.

He gets $70 a week( I don't even get that much).
He meets his girl once a week and they decide to be thrifty this week.

Costs:-
Meal:
$5.00(2 plates of chicken rice)
$2.00( Drinks)
Movie:
$19.00( Hey it's the weekends)
$9.00?(I'm not sure, I haven't bought popcorn in a pretty long time)
Transport:
$2.00( Roughly two bus trips and two train rides)

That's $35. 50%, not a lot, but when you burn $35(and you know it can be a whole lot more than that) in a day, you're scarred for the rest of the week. WE ARE GROWING BOYS WHO NEED THEIR PROTEINS! I don't know, it's a struggle within as well.

My message is not to encourage guys to be stingy, girls deserve to be loved and all. But when it comes to money, it's sensitive. We aren't earning. It's called an allowance because our parents allow us to spend. It's a balance, that's my conclusion. This li'l essay's fucked up because I'm thinking as I write. So my thoughts are constantly changing.

In conclusion( whoa essay), I feel that as long as you can afford to pay, and not go hungry, or deprived, it's cool. But... Can the girl pay once in a while please? HAHA.

Lovesick Puppy

Well, this is my first time writing a song, wrote it under an hour, with breaks in between to visit youtube and listening to songs for inspiration.

It's called, Lovesick Puppy, it's about a friend who liked a bitch, and the bitch treated him like a dog, so the outcome was a lovesick puppy who couldn't do very much.

I’m just a dot on your map,
I’m not your destination.
But girl I would be oh so glad,
If you would stay here tonight.
It is a fact that will not change,
But I don’t want to lose.

Chorus:
You say that love’s just a game,
Then why can’t I play.
Our conversations are stale,
And I can’t seem to see better days.
Oh God why won’t she just love me too.

We stroll on the summer streets,
There’s no sound but our shuffling feet.
Running more than walking,
You needed to escape from our little hell.
I really need this as emotions consume,
And I’m left with nothing much.

Bridge:
You can’t break my heart,
It melted the first time I met you.


It has not been edited so cut me some slack please.

I have no clue what will become of this song, whether my band will actually want to play something with such corny lyrics, and I haven't thought about the tune yet. But I would like something like a cross between Jack Johnson and Shawn Mullins. Surf country, how about that.

Longer than

Just attended Funeral for a friend's gig, being short and bringing a friend who's female and short as well just weren't the conditions for moshing. So we found ourselves a balcony where we were safe, and could listen to their music clearly.

After two songs, I came to a conclusion that they weren't much of musicians, just really great performers and lyricists. Their songs felt repetitive in terms of how they sounded. You could probably throw the same lyrics into two of their songs and the crowd would still be happy. The bassist held the bottom, but nothing special came out of him, but what was I expecting, they are just a band whose fans are too busy fighting or trying to stay alive instead of enjoying their music. The drummer had standard, but most of the time he was just playing normal straight beats trying to sound loud. The guitarists did not impress me either. Well, the gig was not that all lost I guess, they sounded tight and mistakes were minimal, the sound crew did a really good job at mixing as well. First and the last time.

And that's my story...

My songwriting progress isn't very good either. I'm never in the mood to write songs, but today have decided I should write one just for fun, and I'm stuck a little after the first chorus. Oh well...
