It’s just you and me.
Alright Tumblr, I am sick of you just sitting here not doing anything. You never get off of your lazy ass and update yourself, so it looks like I’m going to have to do it. The only problem with that, is that I don’t have much to say. Look, I could sit here spewing my personal problems to everyone, but that would just make this blog look like a suicide note not fully realized. It’s not like anyone can comment on this thing anyway.
Well, how about this. I’ll tell you about some new happenings in my life. I’ve been trying to write some new songs lately, but I’ve always come to a problem in songwriting. It’s very hard to make honest lyrics without feeling foolish about what I am writing. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why I choose to write comedy songs instead. They are far less personal, and they don’t require me to look like a fool. Well, I do look like a fool, but for different reasons. Sure, I’ve written a few serious songs, but I’m not sure that they will ever see the light of day. With a comedy song, all you have to do is get the laugh, and the mission is accomplished. With a serious song, you need to make your listener feel something, either through the music or the lyrics. It’s difficult to do this without making yourself feel embarrassed in the process. It’s also difficult because you are constantly worried about that your audience will think of the song. You are worried that they’ve overestimated your abilities, or that they have no faith in you at all that they are deriving satisfaction from your artistic failure.
Either way, that’s enough for now. I’ll be back.
