Just some kid from the Chicago suburbs that moved to the southwest, went to law school, and ended up confronted with shifting ideals. My thoughts...boring and unedited.

you're damn right i got the blues...

if you aren't already a fan of the blues...it is time to start. there is just something about the music that cuts down to your soul...even if you are a little white suburban kid like myself. no matter the mood you are in, the blues will lift you, will speak for you, will make you want to dance, and will make you shout. just like pfunk...it not only moves, it can remove.

good ol' electric guitar chicago blues...i miss it. if a broken heart, a heart full of pain and anger and hurt, a heart heavy with life and loss, a heart so in love, a heart crying at the moon...if that heart could sing, it would sound like muddy or buddy's guitar. the kind of guitar that makes you squint your eyes, furrow your brow, and nod in agreement with each anguished squeel...that's the blues.

a music and a lyric so simple, yet it speaks for everyone...always leaves you thinking "they knew exactly what i was feeling"...the blues, it's a unique experience...it's what every other type of music wishes it could be...

if you don't know the blues, go out and get you some buddy guy or muddy waters or hooker or howlin wolf or bb...or hell, drop me a line and i will send you some.

it's almost a new year...i normally don't do resolutions, but this year i have one. forget the diet (i failed) or exercise (i failed)...i'm no longer going to cling to my childhood vision of who i thought i would be...i'm going to do you right this time...maybe this year will hold something better than the last...

it's your time right now...i got a feeling it's going to be my time afterwhile
