Entry: Car falling apart...more time for music-lol! Friday, January 27, 2006



Well, once again , my car has found another way not to move forward (or backwards, for that matter)..lol...i get up at 3:30 AM to get ready for work, only to find when i get out to the car, it doesn't do anything....sigh....this car has really emptied my wallet on quite a few occassions over the last few years! When it's running great, (uh, when it's running period!), i LOVE this car.....but it's NOT running great...lol....We've had so much work done on this car, i think it's time to make 2006 it's FINAL year! I've had the fender replaced and repainted also after someone accidently backed into it......Not a bad looking car....i think it looks kinda sporty, don't ya think?  Well, lately, it has been driving something like this-------->.

        The starter went this time with the battery and now it is "surging" while i'm sitting still, like at a traffic light, etc....it wants to surge forward so i gotta really keep the brake pedal down....lol....sigh....I had to have AAA come and tow it out of my driveway to the auto shop.....

                           BUT, i must say, with being stuck in the house while i wait for the call that the auto place needs my bank account # so they can take over my savings, i'm getting a chance to work alot on my guitar studying and putting songs together. I even had to call Bud to let him know i wouldn't be doing lessons today. (We are doing that "theory" stuff---quite interesting and i think a must to have in your pocket of knowledge). But i want him to know, this car business is NOT going to mess up my practicing and songwriting!! I've been pulling out some tunes i haven't done in awhile and some "new to everyone else" (but old to me) songs.......Here's a list of the tunes i am really working hard on, most  of them have the lyrics already posted on this blog somewhere(lol), others i haven't posted yet but will soon......

1)Sometimes

2)Sally Won't Wait Forever

3)(Gotta Keep Me From) Leaving You

4)Lay Me Down To Sleep

5)Say Goodbye

6)You Always Forget Me

7)Love, Don't Lie To Me Again

8)Disappear

9)I Don't Get Along With You

10)I'm Hardly Famous

11)(You've Got To) Move On

12)(An Average Day) Living In Paradise

13)Mirror

14)She'll Get It Done

15)Love and Hate

                       Wow!--i didn't think there were THAT many until i wrote out this list!--lol! So these are the songs that are going to get first priority when it comes to recording (unless i find another OLD song i wanna do!) So as you can see, there's work to be done!

                       I also have been working on a music page at myspace.com. I've posted my song that i wrote,"Less" and have had about 55 plays so far and nothing but good comments too. I have to get back to getting all these songs down....i've got plenty of time today!!---Take care everyone!!!

Sorry about your car problemos. I know exactly what you're going through having owned a couple of beaters in the past. I am going to head right on over to myspace to listen to your song right now. Peace!

So sorry to hear about your car troubles. I was going up our towns hill, and when I reached the top, it said it was hot and the "check gage" words lit up. I hope nothing is wrong with it! I have to also get my whole back door checked. GRRRR...
Sounds like a great list of songs! Good Luck with that Jim!
God Bless You
