June Thoughts
June 1st…ah how I hate thee. On this day each year I’m reminded that the cards that life deals are not always the best hand. Of course, I play the game with what I’m dealt and do the best I can. In retrospect, I realize I wouldn’t be who I am today if not for how I grew up…but I often wonder what sort of person I would be though.
And so, today’s just another reminder of something I’ve tried to leave behind. Most of the year, I’m lucky that I’m not reminded as often. THANK GOD!
You would think that each year would get easier and easier but it’s actually the opposite. I know I’m speaking in non-specifics but I think I’m just tired of putting my thoughts down about the situation. Nothing I do, say, or write will change anything that was, is, and will be. And so? I MOVE ON (until the next June 1st). 
On the brighter side of life, I’m back in the recording studio on Monday. Recording is what’s keeping me optimistic. This next CD (so far) has some songs on it that are mainly for myself. I’m not writing songs with the thought of “this song is a single”…If others connect to it or relate and like it, that would be a bonus.
So far the songs are a bit “extreme”…if it’s an angry song, it’s probably the most vicious song I’ve ever written. Depressing tune? Pull out the sharp objects. Love song? Mushy as they get! One of the songs worries me a little due to the content, but it certainly is honest as hell. We’ll see what sort of response it gets.
As for the rest of the CD, I’ve been writing and have quite a few tunes that are just OK…I’m not sure what’s gonna make it on disc and what’s gonna get tossed aside. All i know is, I’m looking forward to recording them.
He’s the one who lost out and there’s no doubt you’re a better man then he’ll ever think he is.
Have fun with the recording. It’s easy to “hear” and “see” your energy and happiness in your messages.
I do pretty good all year with little reminders that i let pass but for some reason I just hate this day…bleh!!
Here’s a couple of positives for June 1st:
Paul Coffey, Andy Griffith and Marilyn Monroe’s birthdays
The Beatles released “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band” in the UK
and Jack Kevorkian was released from prison today.
ha! i actually met Jack Kevorkian back when i lived in Michigan… his lawyer always made me laugh..he is such a trip!!!
Your day is June 1st. Mine is my own Birthday. I try not to get depressed but I just can’t help it sometimes.
I’m glad you are who you are! Your dad’s an ASS
I’m not too much a fan of my own B-day either LOL…in July, i’ll be singing a different tune LOL
each of us can take so many different paths in life… some paths go places, some are dead ends. but we can’t blame ourselves for the choices we made. we made the best choices we knew how under the circumstances. i wish i could say that i practice what i preach, but I’m the worst person when it comes to having regrets and wish I’d lived my life differently, and taken a different path because i can’t help but wonder if that different path would have been the one that made all the difference… (with apologies to Robt. Frost)
we should chat a bit sometime….it’s been a while.
p.s. don’t forget, you are loved.
October 22nd is my “June 1st” … we’ll have a party then.
my b-day is July 6th..i’ll expect lotza gifts please
hahah!
but what do I get for the man who has everything?
um…you have me mixed up with someone else…i’ll email you a 10 page list of stuff
it’d be easier if i fedex’d you my visa card, huh?
sure..then i would buy you one of my t-shirts
hahahahahaahah
ok, you win.
oh, i don’t blame myself in the least
this is just one of those days that remind me of things i don’t like to be reminded of…all in all..life is good…but i do wonder 
For some of us it’s June 1, and for others it’s Febrary 2. We all have our days don’t we? Thanks for dropping by.
Groundhog day eh? let’s hope we see the shadow this Feb 2nd
Just dropped in from BE. As a starving artist myself (a fiction writer myself), I can empathize and I send you good vibes all the way — good luck with your next CD.
Oh and this June 2 (2007 is blurring right by and I’m out of breath) — there’s a thunderstorm on the horizon and I’m drinking an iced coffee.
welcome! and thanks!
yeah…2007 is ZOOMING by…last i looked it was 2001 ..i’ll pop over and say “hey”
I didn’t realize you were a MI transplant. So am I. Innit great that us MI transplants have to go to the coasts for success or some fake degree of it?
yeah LOL Michigan is a great place to be from…i’m just not sure i could go back to live there again. I enjoy my visits home though…what part of the mitten are you from?
Metro Detroit actually. I’m wrapping up my last few days here and it’s actually a little bittersweet. I’m going to miss the comforts of being at my parents’. But I’m absolutely psyched to be heading back to the Big Apple.
I’m from the 313 as well
NY is great..i remember being flown out there to audition for RENT a few years back …what a great time that was…very loud city though …but a great one!
