It’s been a while since I posted any of my inane bullshit… so here we go.

August 24, 2004

OK, so I’m drawing a blank here, and I keep going back to trying to write that damn song I lost before. That one I stole from the line I heard from that girl who was a riverboat captain. I can’t re-create it for the life of me. That’s what happens when your mind is [...]

Lyrics for a new song (This Raging Fire)

August 20, 2004

Here’s a couple of different mp3 versions –>> mix 1 –>> mix 2 I wonder what she looks like when she peels that skintight dress who finds the folds and tears it off when it hits the floor to rest She pulls her pink skirt taught her back curves into the chair as the hunter [...]

When I was a kid growing up a block from Fort Lauderdale beach back in the ‘60s, roaming the shoreline, fishing for snook and checking out the wildlife was always a highpoint of my day.
