John Mayer



Recently (the last i don't know, 6 months -- if that still constitutes being "recent") I've been listening to a bunch of raw ass music. By Raw, I mean stuff concerning the bad stuff that can happen in relationships, with yourself, and your family(mostly Corinne Bailey Rae, John Mayer, Weezer) . I'm trying to gather everything, as far as myself, but this funk is kind of trickling on for a biiiiiit too long. I'm still working on getting something off my chest and onto the paper, but in the mean time I'll leave you with some lyrics:


Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am in repair, i am in repair

And now i'm walking in the park
All of the birds they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me

Oh it's taking so long i could be wrong, i could be ready
Oh but if i take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unready
Oh i'm never really ready, yeah, oh, i'm never really ready
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there
I'm in repair, i'm not together but i'm getting there



John Mayer is the shit, btw. At times, I want to drop everything I'm doing and pick up guitar, and do something I really love. My interests are too fleeting, I need to refocus. Damn, this switched from a blog to a diary. But, it's ok. More John:




I guess that's enough.

Sooo...

So, my man Rishaud said he wanted to start a blog today when we were doing our Bi-Weekly ODU lunch crew thing, and I decided to beat him to the punch. Much hilarious shit goes down during activity hour once we get together, makes me want to start an epic mini-series...or make a youtube account.

I used to have one of these when it wasn't cool (like 6 years ago). But now it's cool, so let's see how well I keep up with everything. I'll give someone a dollar if they remember my old one...lol

the NTBM stands for Non-Traditional Black Man, as I was dubbed by an ex since I have such eclectic (read: random) tastes. I'm going to install stumble in my firefox browser, and we'll see how this thing jumps off...
