I think about her all day, and dream about her all night
the way she moves and talks man shes outta sight
pretty little kitten with a wink in her eye
tail swingin softly as she strolls right by
well that wink is for me, and Im one lucky guy

tell me somethin honey
and dont get funny
whats a kitten like you doin with a low down dog like me
tell me somethin baby
I know I drive you crazy
just let me be yours and Ill make you happy as can be

There are plenty of other cats who want to be your king
theyre smooth and slick some can even sing
but you picked up a dirty stray out of the road
cuddled and kissed him and loved him so
I followed you home, now dont you ever let me go

-cant sleep, so Im thinkin about you

12:56 am - cant think of a good name for this one
you hate my car and you hate my friends
you wont go to the bar man will it ever end
you take me out shoppin lookin for your shoes
it aint give and take cant get a break I always lose
dont want me to move slow but I cant move fast
you got your hands on my wheel and your foot on the gas

you dump out my schlitz and break my smokes
you go spendin all my money now Im shit broke
wont let me go out playin cards with the guys
then you yell at me and tell me all I say is lies
you got me runnin round in circles bout all I can take
youre grindin all my gears and youre slammin on my brake

cant play my records loud cant plug in my guitar
cant drink no whiskey cant wrench on my car
cant stand it no more time to get up and go
Im packin up honey and Im hittin the road
youve had your fun takin my for a joy ride
move over its my turn to drive

Im takin over now and baby dont you doubt
pull on over darlin this is where you get out


--just a fun song...no hidden meaning. one of the lines came from a conversation with steph...in jest of course.

11:48 am - back in the saddle
ok...now Im back. Im in good ole mass. school has started and...well...its ok. what do you want me to say. I have to learn things. thats never fun. I do have a house with a few guys which is cool....despite the fact that one of them is really creepy (just ask steph) and my room is wicked small. oh well.

I dont really know what to say about that span of time between when I last wrote and now...I guess I just dont feel like going through the whole story of driving out here, moving in etc. maybe soon Ill be up to writing a big entry...

I could talk about steph alllll day long however. for the sake of everyone else who just dont want to hear anymore about it...Ill just say that I dont remember being this happy...content...pleased...all of the above. life is FINALLY good. I owe a lot of it to you steph ;)

and so...cheers to all you who wondered "what happened to brad? maybe he died.........I wonder whats on TV"

1:20 am - stealin love like a thief in the night
hmmm...where should I start. saint anthony deluxe's glorious debut is now lost in a pile of ashes. the fucking drummers wife (appropriately dubbed yoko ono) is bitching about this and that...and the drummer is messin us up right and left. the dude has played in bands in europe for 20 years. he is on several record off nervous and rauscous...and yet he cant play with us. he plays too fast or too loud...cant remember what my songs are...damn...its frustrating. soooo he is out...and I dont know if we will find another by the time I move.

speaking of which...Im movin back to the east coast. Thank God. I miss it so much. time to finish up school and what not. there really isnt much to talk about...the band has gone to hell and I havent even gotten the pics back from our first gig. aint that a bitch. oh well...better luck next time. it sucks because people kept tellin us that we rocked...just that our drummer wasnt very good for us haha. hey erin...you have more troubles with the drummer or the bass player?

hmm...I really dont have much to talk about...I have to get up in 5 hours to take my dad to the airport...so I guess I will end the babbling.

oh...nobody really cares Im sure...but Im in love...just thought Id share haha. well...before I make an ass of myself considering the half awake state Im in...I bid you all adieu

current mood: wicked tired

12:55 am - just more boredom
ok...so its been a while.

Mad Sin was supposed to play here a couple weekends ago. Well...went over to my friend, Katt's, place before the show. it was her bday, so there was a party after the show. ....mad sin never showed up. so 12 Step Rebels came over to the party and hung out, then played a set in her living room the next day. that was fun, but I was bummed about not seeing mad sin.

I dont really remember what all has happened lately. I got a new guitar amp...its pretty slick. We practiced today with a drummer (finally...). he is a 39 year old brit. he played with the love cowboys, surf rats, and many other bands in the UK and in on many records of Rauscous. he is a cool guy. fuckin good drummer. our set really came together tonight. We should be playin the 3rd or so. then we will have a handful of gigs in july and august. Im pretty stoked about that.

bah...Im too tired to remember what to update on. I have no money, Ill be workin 6 days a week serving fuckin tourists, and its gettin hot here. Buuut I was accepted to the seattle school, and hopefully the mass school will accept me so I can move back!

oh...some kids lined up the main street in my neighborhood with big rocks...so I had to get out of my car and move them all...I was pissed...ready to kill...

this will end our broadcast day...

current mood: tired
current music: belmont playboys

2:27 am - Only Heaven has Central Air
I couldnt fall asleep...so I wrote a song


my lifes been booze and women
cigarettes and drivin fast
I know without some guidance
my life just wont last
one day my momma asked me
when you die where will you go?
I said beats me momma,
if Im lucky Ill go to both

I cant stick to the straight and narrow
I keep detourin on debauchery
Ill go to heaven for the weather, man
but visit hell for the company

well heaven is bright and shiny
full of singin and joy
Jesus has got a pompadour
and make a lot of noise
but the devil like his rock n roll
likes it fast and likes it strong
my lifes messed up cause I cant decide
between right or wrong

hell's got gene and johnny
heaven's got good ole eddie
well Ill go to heaven for the weather, man
and visit hell for the company

I always break the speed limit
but I got a bible in my rod
I go to the bars every friday night
but Im drinkin one for God
Im a lyin gamblin son of gun
I like my beer and my women cheap
but once and while I wake up and go to church
and say my prayers before I sleep

let go!

In heaven the beer is icy cold
but hell serves a strong whiskey
Ill go to heaven for the weather, man
and visit hell for the company

well all my friends say somethins wrong with me
the gals think Im a tease
cause after every night of raisin hell
I get down on my knees
well I hear hell gets pretty hot
and brimstone aint my cup of tea
so Ill go to heaven for the weather, man
but visit hell for the company

Im just a petty sinner
no murder and no greed
Ill go to heaven for the weather, man
and visit hell for the company

1:50 am - go go go

I feel like singin (and I dont sound half bad after a few beers on that shure microphone)

pop the hood

my hot rods ready gonna fill it with gas
gonna go go go go go like hell
my honeys beside me and she's lookin so swell
gotta ride ride ride ride ride till I run outta roll

jackrabbit joe

if the cops catch up wont be jumpin no more
gonna go go go go go your honey's beside you and she's lookin so swell
gotta ride ride ride ride ride till you run outta roll

12:45 am - Im on my way
well baby I cant count the miles
between those hearts of ours
Ill pack my bags and hop on that train
and ride for hours and hours
aint no way I can stay away
from a pretty girl like you
so Ill just strum my guitar as I head for the east
baby Ill be there soon

wont you wait for me
cause baby Im on my way
meet me at the station
so you can hear me say...

I aint never gonna leave again
cause baby I missed you bad
wont you be my honkey tonk girl
cause Im your rock n roll man

the nights were oh so lonely
the days were just as hard
I close my eyes and think of you
and you didnt seem so far
Id wake up all alone
couldnt feel you by my side
so Im gettin on that train thats boston bound
gonna take me for a ride

dont worry little darlin
Ill be there in a day
for now just close your eyes
and listen to me say

I aint never gonna leave again
cause baby I missed you bad
wont you be my honkey tonk girl
cause Im your rock n roll man

the sand turns into mountains
the mountains into hills
I watch the miles fly on by
but Im a ways away still
before I know Im in back bay
the west can do no more harm
away the strain, steppin off that train
and right into your arms

no more troubles little baby
no more lonesome days
just wrap your arms around me
and listen to me say

I aint never gonna leave again
cause baby I missed you bad
wont you be my honkey tonk girl
cause Im your rock n roll man
youll always have me baby
through the good and the bad
cause your my honkey tonk darlin
and Im your rockabilly man


-thats for you Steph

11:38 am - Take Me Home
Wake up early get home late
not a morsel on my plate
oh Lord Im ready for you to take me home

It always rains, it never shines
cant wipe these tears from my eyes
oh Lord Im ready for you to take me home

Lady luck left long ago
heartbreak and sorrow is all I know
oh Lord Im ready for you to take me home

whiskey's my only friend
he'll be there with me till the end
oh Lord Im ready for you to take me home

Now the wind chills my bones
Lord Im not good on my own
since she left me all alone
dont want to die by a knife
dont want a gun to end my life
but Lord Im ready for you to take me home

Live fast die young, the story goes
but Im livin slow and dyin old
oh Lord Im ready for you to take me home

There's nothin left in my life
oh God all thats left is to die
oh Lord Im ready for you to take me home

So nail the lid and lay me deep
I pray my soul the Lord to keep
oh Lord Im ready for you to take me home
oh Lord Im ready for you to take me home

--its weird how these songs just pop into my head. Im not depressed...just felt like writing that song. its pretty much to the tune of 'I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow", with a few variations. I figure there are no origonal chord progressions left, so might as well go with what was successful.

current mood: 3 hours of sleep and I got back 2 of my exams today...I feel like hell
current music: tunes in my head

11:25 pm - the face of hate and frustration reared its ugly head...
I have never hated so many people. not that they were especially bad tonight at work...just one. all it took was one person to wish ill upon all those I do know know. one person had me praying to God to send down plague and pestilence on the general population. A single woman risked my telling her to "fuck off and die you rotten vermin refuse". in front of her kids no less. had I not walked away...I may have lost my job tonight. which would have been ok, since it makes me hate everything every night I work.

I got the nightshift blues and its buggin me
I dont like my job and I wanna break free

current mood: frustrated
current music: krewmen

11:35 pm - alone in a cheap motel room...
is there a rule book girls get when they reach a certain age that says "make things so complicated, that guys want to kill themselves"?

my friend (a girl) is makin things kind of hard. its a long story...which I probably could tell now, but Im not in the mood. I just want to complain. basically...she is being really cryptic and distant. and its not makin my life very easy.

blah...Im done

all the little things
little things that I say and do for you
go unnoticed like a cloud rollin by you
all my kisses in vain

current mood: aggravated
current music: 7 shot screamers - lady luck

11:04 am - good morning heartache, youre like an old friend come to see me again
I am depressed. I think its all clear now. I have been ever since I moved back to utah. I never paid much attention to it, but I realize that I am. I had so much fun in boston and philly, and now Im back here...where everything sucks. back to school, back to work, back to so much bullshit.

I think it can all be epitomized by one chain of events this morning:
I had to buy another pack of cigarettes this morning because my withdrawal headaches are terrible. I vowed not to smoke unless I drink (reasonable I would assume), but the pain was too much this morning. I realized I had no fire, and had to wait for some person to give me a light. no body smokes in utah. I stood outside pathetically watching for someone who might be able to help me.

thats everyday for me here. I break down and give something up just to have a moment of pleasure, or to ease some pain, and no one can help me. life for me here is just one giant dead end. Im lonely, Im bored, Im tired, Im sick...

its like I escaped for a week into what my life should be. I come back and everything goes to shit again. case and point: what I would consider a pretty good friend out here seems to not want to confide in me anymore. it has to do something with her ex boyfriend who I suspect she got back together with. I hate the guy, and last we talked, she did too. I dont know...its none of my business, but it bothers me that all of a sudden Im not as good a friend as I used to be. did I say something wrong?

I dont know what Im gonna do if I have to live like this any longer. I need out. I need to get away from this place. how do you live in a place where hope is indeed lost? I cant live here anymore, and I pray that I can deal with it until I find somewhere new.

dont ask me why
I will not pretend
just walk on by
cause today Im no mans friend...
