Hawaii Trip Day 2

Day 2 was somewhat uneventful, though since I was surrounded by mountains and ocean and overall beautiful-ness, I still took a bunch of pictures. We worked the first part of the day, and then headed to the airport to pick up the rest of Agathon Group.  I was like a dog in a car window …

Hawaii Trip Day 1

For those of you who don’t know, the company I work for (Agathon Group) made a wonderful and excellent decision to bring all of us out to Hawaii for a work trip and conference.  Since I work from wherever there’s an internet connection, I thought “why on Earth would I go to Hawaii for only …

Faith and I

Another new song. Faith and I I think about the times you rode your bike down And we spent all night just laying in the flowers And I said “Hey June, what is it you wanna do?” You said “Let’s climb that old water tower” And as this mad mad world slowly turns We’ll sit …

Why’s Facebook Always the First to Know?

April Says Goodnight

Apparently I have a new “months” theme going with my songs, with “May Calling” being the last song.  So next song may be called March something. April Says Goodnight The power’s out on State Street when April says goodnight And the heartbreak comes faster without the benefit of light We’re so sad and no good, …

May Calling

This highway never seemed so long And it’s all the same Yeah it’s all the same Stuck in cities that we always swore we’d leave But we never change No we never change I always thought that if I just had more, then my insecurities would stop controlling me But there’s so much that I …

Some Chicago Observations

– My neighborhood has a couple different diagonal running roads (including my road) and so the streets cut up the land a little bit. The result of that is that there are two parks in my neighborhood that are literally not even big enough to throw a frisbee. Here’s a pictures of one of them: …

Sunset Strip Seems Crowded When You’re Sober

Lights out in Hollywood, the west coast is sinking I don’t remember where I was or what I’ve been drinking No shoelaces and holes in my feet because they like the way I move And somewhere along this road I lost you They say everyone gets their chance, and now I’ve got mine The magazines …
