Destroy

I'm trying an experiment today. "What will happen," said I, "if I stare directly into the souls of the people I walk past today via their eyes?" Well, not too much. I feel mighty, though, because like nobody is brave enough to meet my gaze, even for a split second. NOBODY!!

What experiments do you try, friends?

Also, I've noticed that if I want human contact, most people aren't going to contact me, so I have to initiate everything. This is something I've noted before, and I've accepted it as my lot in life that I'm not the charismatic leader-type, but the notion's been really reinforced lately and it irritates me, making me take out my anger by giving passerby the EVIL EYE, I guess.

However! On the first of November, the band I joined will be performing at a sandwich shop...or I guess they have a more concert hall-type thing next door. Sammy's! In Provo! Be there, aloha.

Your song made me say naughty things!

Speaking of "strip," I finally put another one on my Stripgenerator page. I think I'll do another one pretty soon, too.

You always fall for what you desire or what you fear

I was walking on campus and listening to "The Well and the Lighthouse." About the time this line came up, I nearly started to weep.

I want to write music so beautiful that it affects me on that visceral, subconscious level. How?

Also, for sir and madame's consideration

So, last Saturday Andy and I recorded some sweet beats. We wrote, arranged, recorded, and mixed a song in about three hours, which I think is pretty sweet. Listen to "Ashamed of My Game Show" and many other things at his imeem dealie! I'll put the lyrics below because a) it's hard to understand it in the mix and b) I feel like it.

(p.s.: my car broke down, and I didn't get a job. We in the business call this "acquiring songwriting material through life experience." Also, my dog died and my wife turned out to be a killbot.)

"Ashamed of My Game Show" by Prof. Nick Clark and Andy Myers, Attorney at Law
I'm afraid to show my face
My producers called it the national disgrace
Both viewers say "Cut your greasy hair!"
The female guests have to face my inappropriate stare

I'm ashamed of my game show...

I left my wife for my assistant, Denise ("There's no Denise!")
And she left me for some kinda lobster-beast
The prizes cause Lyme disease and Epstein-Barr
And the losers get trapped behind a brick wall

(chorus, including my favorite falsetto backup vocal from Andy, "His game show is a game shame!")

Our money goes to a charity
That takes poor children's lunch money
But for some reason I don't understand
It's huge in Europe, or maybe Japan

Tanks for the memories!

Thanks to the help of the powerful Genuine, I now have a Stripgenerator dealie. Go to it!!!
GO TO IT!!!! Maybe not immediately, though. I only have one strip up.
