sunday brain farts

It's a curious thing, song-writing. I think my best work (I guess this applies to any artist) is produced when I'm enveloped in some emotional fog; but I put ALL of that emotion into the song, and end up feeling sort of drained. I don't know if this is making much sense...but packing that emotional buildup into a line of a song is just so intense, that I'm left with a piece that embodies that situation...but it's something to observe, it's not in me anymore. I guess what I'm trying to do is describe how songwriting really is an outlet, but it shocks me how such a strong emotion can so wholly be transferred into a song, leaving almost nothing for me to feel. I'm left a shell, but my songs are there to display everything for you....I don't know. I'm rambling. But it's interesting.

That being said, Lindsay Lohan looks downright atrocious as a blonde.


I think I'm developing a mini-crush on Gavin Degraw. I heard a slow, uber-emotional version of "Chariot" today...his voice is raspy and mournful and mmmmmmmm...........what a turn on.
He looks like he could be slightly autistic (I'm going to hell for that) but in a cute way...?

So...since I've been home, I've been watching some television, and I've become hooked on this show, "Extreme Makeover Home Edition." It's a reality series, I guess, but the only one I've encountered that actually seems to be doing some good. It's probably a dorky show to like (note the time slot: sunday evenings), but it's so sweet and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. People still do good deeds in the world? Let's have a reality series that showcases it! Woooot.


Ahhhh you must all go here and listen to my friend
she sang for her friend's senior project; apparently everything (the recording, mixing) was done by this guy at his home. And he wrote the song. I love Lucy's voice.
