I play bass and sing in one of the local bands here in town. Been playing guitar and bass for the better part of my adult life. I've co-written and recorded numerous originals with my guitarist, but since we haven't a clue what to do with them, it ends up just another in the collection, and we move on to the next. We realized that we weren't to be rock stars, long ago, so we do mostly cover songs in the band, frEAk fLAg, and hock ourselves out to the local clubs.
I've just put up a my space page for the band this week, and it has a couple of live recordings that are, if nothing else, good sound quality and an excellent representation of what our band is all about. If you have the time, (or desire) to check it out, I'd love any opinions or feedback we get!
myspace/freakflagpage hope that's correct!

I'm good for now, THANKS! Be back soon!

...ooohhh.....the yellow brick road.......right.....I remember now..........

How did I get here???

Doing good *hack* and this is *gasp* just what I needed, besides another cigarette, that is!!

Nice, thanks!!

Hi, how ya' doing? Don't suppose you have a light, eh???

I've had this problem a lot in the past couple of months, although not linked fron this particular site. They always seem to be from Nigeria or Cheboksary(?), saw my "structure", looking for the same wonderful marriage, and the children, like the friend found on "this" site. Occassionally, it's even the same person using multiple names. Easy enough to google "dating scammers" or something of the like, and lo and behold, there they are, along with fifty aliases. Report it, delete it, and for the love of Pete- don't be the fool who actually sends them money!

Occassionally, but just being aware of your surroundings is a great help in seeing it coming. They tend to make the first move, and you can see the discomfort in their eyes, and hear the wavering in their voice. No bueno...
hmmmm....suspicious? Note to self; lighten up!

The Mayan Temples would be my first choice. Other than that, I'd just be happy to see the scenery in other countries, the standard places travelers go, ie. Paris, London, Australia, but no further North than I am presently. Brrrrr.....

Open this evening, eh? When in Rome!

Ditto...

I agree, wholeheartedly!

I'm open to it, inasmuch as I'm liable to post things that I write, but poetry can be quite subjective. Depends on the mood of the writer, and the ability to bring the reader along with the emotion you'd wish to get across. In my case (and plenty others around here, I'll wager), it'll depend on how well something jives within a songs structure. The original often gets cut to some degree, or needs to be embellished, within a certain measure of time, it's not always the easiest thing to get right. Lotta fun being a creative writer, though, and thoughtful and constructive critisizm(?) is ALWAYS appreciated.

Thanks for reading it.

Here,Here!!

Hi all! I'd have to agree on this one, but many times it's not even in the profile, it comes through almost instantly in the first e-mail, though.
"Hi my dearest", so and so, public computer, live with mom, in Cheboksary or someplace, great job, but hate it there, want the husband and it to have children. Funny though, it's so immediately and blatantly transparent, I'm sure they don't even get it. I tend to play along for a bit, as I prefer to actually wait until they ask for money, then report that e-mail to the dating scammers site, call it playing a player, or whatever. Just a little sumpthin' to do along the way, I suppose. Guess I need a life!

Being marriage minded is one thing, but personally, I'd like to at least meet once or twice (and probably even dating for a while)before this comes up, otherwise, suspicions arise, and are not easily quelled! Guess my entire, long winded point, was agreeing with this quote!

This is probably a real good place for me to post, right up my alley. Of course, some of this works a lot better in the songs my guitarist and I wrote them into. This one, for instance, pertinent, a little depressing, and introspective. Most fitting for my first full post, I suppose it could almost be misconstrued as an introduction.....
.......ahem.....


Hello, are you there, won't you let me in?
Please don't be afraid it's just me, a broken mannequin.
Seems like years since you've put me in,
Glass prison walls with the outside looking in.
....I can see the rain fall down, but I can't feel......
....And I can hear the wind blow 'round, but I can't feel...
....And I have seen my world walk by, but I can't feel,
....can't feel a thing.
Hello, do you care, this shape you've left me in?
Confused and lost, a broken mannequin,
Battered and bruised, tied and used, where do I begin?
How do I begin?
....I can see the rain fall down, but I can't feel...
....And I can hear the wind blow 'round, but I can't feel..
....And I can still taste you in my mind, but I can't feel
....can't feel a thing.

There's more to it, but in this context it wouldn't be relevent, just repetative. Thanks for reading it!
