No excuses
I failed.
I missed a day
I let myself down.
I couldn't take 5 minutes
And write something down,
A ritual that I've created
Every Tuesday
Every Thursday.
The magic only works
With full commitment.
Perhaps that is where I got lost
Lip service to dedication
Without the desire in my heart
And in my soul.
Well consider this
A rededication;
Like a building getting a new name
It is reborn in spirit,
While remaining the exact fucking same.
TCF Bank Stadium
Is now Huntington Bank Stadium;
Mariucci Arena is now
3M Arena at Mariucci,
A far more stupid name.
Like serious THAT is the best they could come up with?
Hopefully I can be better
I HAVE to be better.
That seems like a real low bar to me.
In the sake of being better
Of pushing myself further,
I am currently finishing
Two new songs.
Both are similar together
In their message
That it would be wrong of me to separate them.
Both of them are loud,
Both of them are guitar driven,
Both of them are about growing up
What may be cliche to the pop punk genre
But feel very important to me
The ever present "This Town".
Both of these songs
Handle this town, but
Do it in vastly different ways.
One is a scathing critique,
While the other
Just wants to burn it all down.
These words like gasoline,
Those strums like striking matches
Watch the whole damn thing
Go out in a roaring blaze.
Still no excuses.
Two songs is not the reason I missed a post.
I had plans that were postponed due to weather
And it was not the reason I missed it.
No the reason I missed it,
Is simple.
I missed it.
There was no rhyme
There was no reason.
I just did not do it.
And that is inexcusable.
I need to hold myself to a higher standard
The same high standard
I would hold to other people
Who work with me.
In other news I am seeing a show tonight at the Entry
I am very excited for it,
And once again
I am mostly going for the Opener.
Someone who will play for like a half an hour tops.
But I have no shame and have been looking forward
To this for weeks.
The artist is Kayleigh Goldsworthy,
And I predict weeks prior to her album's release,
That it will be one of the most listened to things of 2022
For me.
And I will enjoy it every single time.
The three songs that are out so far, are all incredible.
They all hit me in the feels
And they all sound really good.
Her voice in all of these is honestly my favorite.
She is pulling double duty,
Playing her own set
While also being in the headliner's band.
Wearing multiple hats
Is a life that I very much relate to.
As with anything new to me
I will try to maintain an open mind
With the other acts on the ticket.
I have listened to NONE of their music
And really hope to enjoy what I hear
Live and in person.
The best(?) way to experience music.
Even though I have been really loving
Getting back into listening to vinyl.
Every day after work I've been playing a couple records
Front to back
And real loud.
I think I may need a subwoofer,
But that addition can wait for now.
For now it is all about building
My spark for creation,
Into a full blown inferno.
I think my project after these two songs
Will be even bigger.
A full EP, or even more.
Like with everything,
One step at a time.
