An open letter to Peyton Manning:

Wassup hommie? You don’t know me but twice in the last few years you and the Colts have booted my team from the playoffs. Here’s the thing-being a true fan of the game I can’t bring myself to hate you. The last time it happened our defense handed you the game. This time they failed to convert three turnovers into ANY points. You are a great quarterback-maybe one of the best. And dammit, I like you. You seem like a guy I could get drunk with and as goofy looking as you can be, I’m sure we could pick up some hotties if we hung out and made the scene together. You actually remind me of a friend I’ll probably never talk to again so I can’t bring myself to hate you. I do, however, have the perfect solution. Trent Green probably isn’t still fully aware of who and where he is and Huard is going to spend the off-season sharking for the best deal he can get now that he stepped up. Come join the Chiefs bro. You know what a rush Arrowhead can be with the sea of red and that deafening noise. Now imagine all that is cheering you on. I’ve never been to Indy but c’mon….the Indy 500? Cars turning left at 250 mph for six hours…..wow. KC is the place for you. This way I can root for you openly and with vigor. Just do it man. If not, I am fully nude in this pic (except for the representin’ headgear of course) and when I finally manage to pick myself up off the floor you can suck my left one. Chiefs baby. It’s a way of life.

It had to be said!




One of the best things about being a musician is the ability to lose yourself in the feelings of a song, symphony, etc. Sometimes other artists perfectly describe and capture your own thoughts and feelings. This song most certainly captures what I think and feel about two of the relationships I’ve been through lately. Out of respect for how this band has operated thus far, I’m not going to tell you who it is. Those of you who know are going to run grab this album from your collection because you haven’t heard it in a while and for those of you who have no idea, check out the lyrics and if they grab you enough, do a little research and find out who it is. Then go get some of their stuff. I don’t know if you’ll like it or not. Gotta roll the bones and take a chance once in a while people! A little hint-this song is called “Schizm”. Have a great weekend all!



SCHIZM
I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering. Fundamental differing.
Pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
Disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
The light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
We cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
No fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
Point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the math enough to know the dangers of our second guessing
doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any
Sense of compassion
Between supposed lovers

I know the pieces fit…
