A Drummer's Prayer

The Lord is my Drummer; I shall not rush.
He maketh me to "lay out" in tasteful places;
He leadeth me beside cool meter and tempo changes;
He restoreth my "one" and giveth me many options in 9/8 and 5/4;
He leadeth me in the right repeats and teachest me the correct accents in Bossa Nova;
For His name's sake, He makes me immune to the trumpet's "dragging" and the saxes "rushing";
Yea, though I read through the trickiest road maps, I will fear no train wrecks;
For You are with It; Your ride, and Your snare and double bass drum, they comfort me;
You setteth up a solo for Me in the presence of mine guitarist; (inspite of the bass player);
You annointeth my lines with drive and good taste; My groove overfloweth.
Surely good feel and swing will follow me the all the tunes of each set;
And I will dwell in the "pocket" the whole gig long....(inspite of the leader).
AMEN

saw tyler today. he hugged me and i felt tears rolling down my cheeks...so i wiped them away and pretended like everything was fine. im torn between wishing i had never seen him and knowing that i was more happy than i've been in two weeks when i was with him today. ya know....its funny....i didn't ask for this, ya know...didn't ask to feel what i do for him...and i didn't ask for it to still be here...and god forbid i talk to him about all this...he's finally my friend again...the last thing i ever want to lose is his friendship...i just....i cant seem to make things go right anymore without him with me. everything was ok....i dont really know what happened between us...but i wish it hadn't. if i had it to do over again...i probably wouldn't whine so much...i think he got tired of that...i wanted to see him...and he said relationships are supposed to be fun....it would have been if we had been able to go somewhere....but we never went out on a date. we saw each other at mccallie and gps stuff...but we never went out....just me and him...and had fun. maybe that's what it lacked...maybe it was just me...maybe he stopped feeling that way about me...i dont really know anymore...i just wish nothing had ever happened...and that i was still with him...and i, i wish SO many things... he told katherine it was over...maybe it is...but it wont be over for me until i stop loving that guy, and i dont think that'll happen for a while...im afraid of what he'll say if i bring it up...so im just keeping my mouth shut...i dont really know what else to say...he means so much to me...i just wish i could know how he felt...but if he doesn't feel anything for me anymore...maybe im just better off not knowing

sometimes life throws you rocks...you have to learn to deal.....but i got a boulder...and im heartsick over it.

ok i don't usually listen to country, but this is one band that i really really loooove....this is an awesome song, download it!

These Days
(Steve Robson/Jeffrey Steele/Danny Wells)

Hey baby, is that you?
Wow, your hair got so long
Yeah, yeah, I love it, I really do
‘Norma Jean’, ain’t that the song
We’d sing in the car
Drivin’ downtown, top down
Making the rounds
Checking out the bands on Doheeney Avenue

Yeah, life throws you curves
But you learned to swerve
Me I swung and I missed
And the next thing ya know
I’m reminiscin’, dreaming old dreams
Wishing on wishes
Like you would be back again

I wake up and tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed

Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just incase
Go to bed
Dream of you
That’s what I’m doing these days

Someone told me after college
You ran off to Vegas
You married a rodeo cowboy
Wow, that ain’t the girl I knew
Me I’ve been a few places
Mostly here and there once or twice
Still sortin’ out life, but I’m doing alright
Yeah, it’s good to see you too
Hey girl, you’re late
And those planes, they don’t wait
But if you ever come back around
To this sleepy old town
Promise you’ll stop in
To see an old friend
And until then...

I wake up and tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just incase
Go to bed
Dream of you
That’s what I’m doing these

I wake up and tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then

I wake up and tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then

I wake up and tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
