Strange serpents glide like kites through marshy mountain meadows all the while a queen is crying in her mansion of marigolds. There is nothing quite like the demise of the lizard while it flies, spitting lies like alibis across the hearts and ears of mankind. There is nothing like the mystery of the sea as it swims and squirms underneath a midnight moon like a big balloon fit to burst but past its worst, alive and dead, trapped in a hearse.
That was nonsense, it's called skywriting, you just write what comes to mind without thinking about it, it's pretty fun. anyways, i haven't blogged for a while, because i haven't really had anything to say worth reading, and the above nonsense probably qualifies as not worth reading as well, but it's all good. I've been thinking of the lyrics to that great Lennon Christmas song, (War Is Over/This is Christmas) "and so this is Christmas, and what have you done, another year over and a new one just begun." It's a simple lyric, but it gets me thinking about the passage of time, and how every year at this time, the earth has almost made a complete revolution around the sun, and people have changed, progressed and regressed, learned, and grown, expanded and contracted, been born and died, laughed and cried (that last one is regrettably cliche, but the rhyme was there, and i simply cannot help myself). I like the line, "what have you done," because it is a call to assess what you have accomplished and in what ways you have developed. It's pretty odd how much can change in a year's time: circumstances, friends, significant others, musical tastes, economic states, Britney Spears' degree of insanity, the list goes ever on. I suppose this is a premature New Year's Resolution, nay, this is a New Life's Resoultion. (yes, i used the word nay, be envious) It is as follows: talk to more beautiful girls, read more, try harder, listen to more jazz, treat everyone with kindness, even if they are baguettes of douche, listen to what people have to say, consciously try to live up to idealistic New Life's Resolution points, play as many gigs as possible, find drummer and bassist, go to school, try in school, don't be a douchebag, don't be arrogant, try hard at work, become a server, move out, bring blues rock back to the masses, get in touch with God more often, laugh a lot, make people laugh, see John Mayer live, go to as many shows as I can, continue towards my dream, become a top secret ninja.
Note: new song on my page, it's an Alicia Keys cover, check it out: drewgrovermusic
