Its all about time.
you weren’t here before and you aren’t here now.  you cant just come back
and expect me to greet you nicely.  your coolness doesn’t impress me.
your horoscope was wrong.  that collage was too big.  ahh well.
the warehouse of love.  chewing on dried beer droppings isn’t tasteful.
the windows are open.  unusual is so usual here. the picture is too dark.
this place doesn’t have a river sky line.  red leopard prints decorate my
bed.  i meant to say yes.  mischievous people aren’t shy.  it
hangs out too much.  this crazy life.  its started back again.
slowing me down.  giving me headaches.  your eyes don’t comfort me
anymore.  i don’t have anything to say.  it doesn’t take much anymore.
i’m so negative.

Some of my favorite bands are
10,000 Maniacs,
Crash Test Dummies,
They Might Be Giants,
REM,
Indigo Girls
, Jewel,
Tori Amos,
Sarah McLaughlin,  (uh,
they’re a she, not a band), and I have personally seen every one of them in
concert.  Many of these bands are artists i never thought i would actually
see live.  It was so surreal to me to see especially 10,000 maniacs as they
are one of my all time favorite groups.  And they are so unknown and
obscure, everyone says they’ve heard of them but can’t name a single song by
them.  Tori Amos is also extremely unknown.  However, her new album is
#2 for college style radio air play.  I like unpopular music.  Another
of my favorite bands is Toad The Wet
Sprocket
.  And since they broke up, I never thought I’d get the chance
to see them in concert.  But, now my dream has been realized.  Don’t
know why they decided to, but they’ve chosen to get together again and put a few
more shows on the road.  March 8, 2003 I will finally be going to see them,
at what will more than likely be one of their last concerts.  It’s in
Myrtle Beach, SC at the House Of Blues so i’ve
got a nice little road trip ahead of me to look forward to.  I particularly
remember the first time i really took notice of Toad.  I was sitting in my
car in the parking lot of the Highway Patrol in Henderson, NC.  Listing to
WRDU 106 on the radio.  I was waiting for someone.  and they played
this great song by them, in fact it just so happens to be the very song i’m
listening to now.  Fall Down.  isn’t that a coincidence?  No, i
didn’t time it that way.  I have 5 of their CD’s in my cd player and have
it playing through them randomly.  So i heard the song and thought wow what
a great song, and they said who it was at the end of the song which they rarely
do anymore.  I took mention of it and went out and got one of their CD’s.
Then i realized I had heard several other of their songs on the radio before,
just never realized it was the same group.  And I’m sure you’ve heard them
too if you’d check them out sometime.
