So What...

i used to think, fantasize or dream with ink or graphite on a fresh new ream
the words formed thoughts, the thoughts told a story
that was way before i got so boring
i've lost some nerves, put out the fire
just the other day i saw my new spare tire
sat down for the barber in his swivel chair as he hacked away at my graying hair

so what if you think life is so unfair?

got a bachelor degree in two thousand three
then spent 7 more years to get a PHD
haven't been a bachelor since i was seventeen
now there's lucas ethan gavin 3 more boys like me
now the misses she be crazy, maybe i'm a bit too lazy
i can not understand she spins my head til i'm hazy
some say that i should "grow a pair" but i know that my situation is rare

so what if you think life is so unfair?


-Shhh!

Whispering

I have found it to be a bit challenging to record music in the house since my usual window of opportunity is after the kids are all in bed. I decided that I can either wait several years until the kids are more self-sufficient so I can do any vocal-work during the day, or I could just whisper-sing at night. My wife and I tried to sing quietly one night recently and it wasn't a complete failure. I use a software amplifier from "JACK-Rack" to boost the signal from a cheap V-Tech vt-1030 dynamic microphone that I've had since my teenage rock/grunge band playing days.

Later I had the idea that maybe I could start writing lyrics designed for a loud whisper. I think it is an idea worth pursuing and at the very least it will give me a focus and project design that will push me to accomplish something. I have aptly named it project Whisper, Whisperer Err, Whisperin Her Err, or something like that.

I will be writing and editing lyrics right from this blog so hang on, it could be a bumpy ride. I will designate project Whisper's lyrics with the following signature:

-Shhh!
