[ I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry ]

Hank Williams

Hear that lonesome whippoorwill,
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining low,
I’m so lonesome I could cry.

I’ve never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind a cloud
To hide its face and cry.

Did you ever see a robin weep,
When leaves begin to die?
That means he’s lost the will to live,
I’m so lonesome I could cry.

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky.
And as I wonder where you are
I’m so lonesome I could cry.

[ Eyes Closed ]

Why do we close out eyes when we pray? When we cry? When we dream? Or when we kiss?
Because we know that the most beautiful things in life are not seen, but felt by the heart.

[ Dancing ]

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” ~ Nietzsche

[ Auriel On Purpose ]

I will live, on purpose . . .
I will laugh, on purpose . . . .
I will love, on purpose . . . . .

[ Si Buscabas (If You Were Looking) ]

Duo Guardabarranco

SPANISH:
Si buscabas
un cuerpo complaciente
que soltara tus amarras
que en tus nudos desnudara
a tu animal mas inocente.

Si esperabas
un fuego tan ardiente
que encendiera tus cenizas
que te hiciera sentir brisa
donde ya no habia fuente.

Si añorabas
un corazón de refugio
donde huir de tanta gente
que te hería y te quería
para ser feliz un día.

Si soñabas
con buscar la libertad
a traves de otra persona
que librara a tus palomas
de las ansias de volar
que luchara en tu trinchera
de traer la primavera
la encontraste.

ENGLISH:
If you were looking
for a willing body
to loosen your bonds,
that in your knots unties
your most innocent animal self

If you hoped
for a fire hot enough
to kindle your ashes to flame
to make you feel a breeze
when the source was gone

If you have longed
for a heart of refuge
where you could flee from the many people
who hurt you and who loved you
to be happy one day

If you have dreamt
of seeking freedom
through another person
to liberate your doves
from their yearnings for flight
who would fight in your trenches
to bring the springtime
you have found it.

It would be wonderful if somebody gifted me a bottle.

[Ain't No Sunshine . . . ]

I just learned how to play the Bill Withers song “Ain’t No Sunshine”.
I rule! This sounds so great. Very earthy piece of music.
Now if I can only memorize the lyrics?

Oh yeah, the CDC finally has finally got a plan for the Zombie Apocalypse!
Yep you read that right, the Zombie Apocalypse!
Check it out right here.

[Well I'm back . . . ]

It’s been nearly one year since my last post.
Since then I’ve changed jobs and refreshed/renewed my interest in my music.
I’ve been working at Express Technology, Inc for nearly a year as a technician.
That means I mostly test computer components prior to sales.
Sometimes with things like motherboards that means I also update the BIOS and system microcode. It doesn’t pay much but at least the people that I work with are good at what they do and are nice.

Music? I’m focusing mostly on my acoustic guitar, my Washburn D10. I’ve decided to concentrate on a handful of cover tunes and some original works that need lyrics.

Eventually I plan to perform at Fiddler’s Dream Coffee House for their Thursday night Open Stage. There is usually a good sized, enthusiastic crowd with an open mind.

I still plan to keep up with my electric guitar but as it is right now I have no venue open to me to perform that style right now and nobody to play with.

That’s about all for now. I promise to be back soon . . .

[ AppleCare II ]

You are not going to believe this.
Apple hired me back
Yep, I start May 3rd
Here is the really good part . . .
I get to work from home!!!
Totally awesome
People can we step back for a moment to appreciate God’s grace?

[ Acura Legend 2010-04-23 ]

I got my tax return back and I thought it gave me enough to get the car fixed. Turns out that there is an additional cost for a new timing belt, water pump, front and rear seals, spark plugs, thermostat, intake manifold gasket, exhaust manifold gaskets.

If they use the old parts then there is no warranty on the engine. New parts gives me a 12 month or 12 thousand mile warranty. The new parts cost is $385, there is no additional labor cost or tax

The total cost for the new engine and radiator installed is $2,750.

There was a burn out solenoid that caused the radiator to die, that in turn caused engine to over heat and the head gasket to blow.

The solenoid cost $70 but they replaced it for free.

I have been restored to mobility.
