The Room I Never Use

This is a song from the point of view of a person with a mystery-room in her house. It relates to Jungian psychology stuff. If I'm remembering correctly, all of us have parts of ourselves that we don't accept, so we push them outta conscious awareness, and they end up in the Shadow, which is almost like this being made up of a conglomeration of parts of us that we don't accept about ourselves. I think I'm getting that right, but I might be wrong about that. Anyway, the room in the song might just signify that shadow complex. I don't know yet.

I Hate Halloween

 I really don't like Halloween anymore. I used to, but recently, it's been sucking really bad. I can't wait for November 1 to roll around.

Post-script: Upon listening to this after the fact, I'm realizing it sounds a little harsh. The "fuck you" and "go to hell" aspect of things isn't aimed at the cute little kids who came to my door between the hours of 6:30 and 8:30 - it's aimed at the obnoxious assholes that kept coming to my door till 9:38pm. You just cain't have a chill night when people are ringing your bell ALL fucking night long. There. 

The Devil is Living in My House

 This is a song about trying to get rid of the devil and stuff.

The furry thing at the top of the picture is part of my cat.

They Thought I Was Gonna Have a Short Life

This is another song where I took a sample from that movie I'm makin' and made it into a song using the melody that the person talking's voice forms. Yes. The title pretty much conveys what the song's about.

Here are the lyrics cuz the speeeeedy nature of the rap (and the consequent slurring of some words, ugh).

They thought I was gonna have a short life

Ghosts inside my living room are playing

Pac-Man and then this thing they start sayin'

Gives me the creeps. They said that I would 

Not live long. What's wrong with me? My goodness

The Ghost of All Things in the Past

Said, "Yer toast." Oh, no! I can see that's 

Something that will give me anxiety

Mind's freaked - I don't like it

The Ghost of Future Happenings

Told me something that is saddening

He boldly told me, "You will be deader

Than a door nail. You won't get better

Cuz You'll Be dead. And then I saw

The Ghost of All Things Present, oh my God

He said I'd kick the bucket and then he 

Disappeared. Shit. What he said sent me

Down a big spiral. My world is getting

Stupid and confusing. Is the sun setting

On my life? I don't know how to 

Take this news. I guess I'll say, "Wow, dude."

They thought I was gonna have a short life

Will I see more Christmases?

What they said would happen is the pits

Will I see more birthdays now? 

What the spirits said makes me say, "Wow."

Will I die of some disease?

I hope that this passing is easy

But I guess I cannot choose

How I die, so I'll drink some booze

They thought I was gonna have a short life

Years Ago - 2025 Version

I was downloading hundreds of my old songs a few weeks ago cuz Typepad was going defunct (that's site that hosted the little blue player thingies that you probably see on older entries but are no longer here cuz it's gone). 

I came across this old ditty that I'd forgotten about, and I realized it's a nice little tune (or, at least, that's what my ears think - others might not agree). So I did a cover of my own song just for shits and giggles. It's a lot different from the original cuz I added a B phrase and some rap and stuff. And I experimented with making the bass really super deeeeeeeeeeeeeeep about 1/3 of the way into the tune.I mean, the original of this song is quite nice, but I was in the mood to revisit this old ditty, so here it is. It's a song that I originally wrote years ago that's called "Years Ago." That's an odd thing, all by itself.

Stupid Singing

This song could mean that I'm a stupid person singing; or it could mean that I'm a person singing stupidly. (And, now that I think of it, both are true in real life). The spirits mentioned in it could be booze or they could be spirits of dead people. I guess.

A Thousand Deaths

In the most recent installment of the movie I'm making, Jesus says "a thousand deaths." When I played it back, I realized it sorta made a melody when he said it, so I made it into a song. Here it is.

I Don't Care About Vampires Anymore

 
I was downloading a bunch of old ditties of mine onto a computer from the Typepad website cuz it's no longer gonna exist, come September 30. (That's why you're no longer see those blue, underliney song player thingies). I needed to do that cuz those songs would be hard for me to find, y'know, cuz I have 'em on a bunch of random thumb drives and stuff. 

Anyway, there were a couple years where I did lots of songs about vampires. I realized I haven't really thought about vampires in a long time, so I did this song.

Here are the lyrics (since the rapping is a little fast in places):

I don't care about vampires anymore

I don't care about vampires anymore

I don't care about vampires anymore

Maybe it is cuz I've lost some interest

Am I depressed? Maybe so

I don't care about vampires anymore

I don't care about vampires anymore

There was a time period when vampires 

were on my mind and I've been a fan

of the series that is called, "Buffy

the Vampire Slayer." It was so lovely

And don't forget "Twilight." Those books

can be addictive and I was so hooked

They were like crack. I'd go through that stack

of books so fast. They were always in my backpack

In 2009 I wrote many 

songs about all those vampires that sent me

into Fantasy Land with some sexy

glamorous vampire-man. Let me

tell you, the change in my brain from that time till

now ain't the best. I'm depressed and I'm filled

with some apathy. Is that why

I don't care about vampires? And my

songs got dark, with no spark in the context

of the badness and sadness. My song-fest

now is grim. The world is in trouble

My feelings are dim, and my sadness is doubled

Or do they just sound stupid to me now?

Fucking sucking blood is astoundingly boring now

An sometimes, I wonder why I was in-

to them. Now it seems like it's something 

arbitrary. Now it seems like it's random

to be a member of such a fandom

But maybe someday, I will go back

to the vampires, who have capes that are so black

and the blood sucking will once more be something

that I wanna watch. It'll be a fun thing.

But now I will say to you today

that vampires are as boring as Tuesdays

I don't care about them anymore

I don't care about them anymore

I don't care about vampires anymore

I don't care about vampires anymore

Part 2 of Hell Movie: Part 2

Here're the installments of part 2 of Hell Part 2. The first part of Part 2 was getting long, so I thought I'd start a new entry of Hell entries. Here's a link to the first part of Hell: Part 2.

Part 1 of Hell Part 2

My software crashed - the beginning of the next one is supposed to be the end of this one (fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck):

Probably done being Under Construction (sorry about the inconsistency in volume in the dialogue - i'll fix that when put all these pieces together into the final movie thingy:

Under Construction:

Fire 5 Miles Away

Yes, Typepad seems to be getting unstable - can't upload the song. Sigh. I'll try again tomorrow. But the player thingy at the bottom still works. 

That was a trip; my Watch Duty app thingy told me this afternoon that there was a brush fire in my town. I was all, oh gosh. Then it grew from .25 acres to 5 acres, and I'm all, oh gosh. I started gettin' my ducks in a row in case I had to evacuate. But they put the fire out after about an hour. Phew.

We Will Be Fine - Tribute to Graham Greene

We Will Be Fine Reprise for Graham Greene

 Well, poop, Typepad isn't working, so I can't do the little blue underliney link thingy player thingy. Anyway.... [Edit]: got it working this morning, but.....

[Edit]: Holy crap, I found out Typepad is going to stop existing on September 30, 2025, so, everyone: the blue, underliney song player thingy is no longer going to work on September 30. (Fuck!!!!) All that said, if you wanna take advantage of the blue underliney thingy player thingy, do it now before it stops working. Download songs, do whatever is needed. Arrrgh!!!!!

I got real sad yesterday when I found out Graham Greene died. He was one of my favoritest actors in the world. I actually wrote a requiem in 2015 for a character he played, who died, in the movie, Skins. Anyway, I got sad, so I did a little reprise of an old song from 2021 in honor of him. I changed some o' the lyrics and did a new rap. But my apologies to anyone within earshot of this song, and my apologies to Graham Greene, as well: My voice is extra special jacked up today. Ugh. Dust mites? Am I coming down with something. I might be fighting off a cold. Anyway, here it is.

Messing Around With New Recording Device

 

NEWSONG02_z

I'm messing around with a new recording device; this recording's really dry because I haven't gotten to the part of the manual with the bells and whistles in it yet. And I forgot to turn off my white noise machine, so that's the hiss you hear in the recording (there were screaming kids outside - I don't like them). If the white noise machine hadn't been turned on, it'd be a really clean recording, I think. I think so.
