It's my first attempt at writing a reggae song. You can't hear it but it played out nicely in my head!

Na, De time still shuffulin

Na, Da feelins bubbelin

Na, Di mark be swingin

Na, Dy Generation squabbalin

Hey, Bring it around (bring it)

Hey, See me round town (bring it)

Hey, colors blurrin out loud (bring it)

Hey

Bring it around

Attitudes followin

Bring it around

Platitudes allowin

Bring it around

Na, De honey got mo

Na, Da keepin it close

Na, Di breakin de mold

Na, Dy emotion on hold

Hey, Bring it around (bring it)

Hey, Surrender to sound (bring it)

Hey, Lost not found (bring it)

Hey

Bring it Bring it

Hey Oh

Bring it Bring it

Hey Oh

Bring it Bring it

Hey Oh

Na, De danger follow me

Na, Da fear escapin me

Na, Di road run dry

Na, Dy may I

Na, De rivah run deep

Na, Da shor be steep

Na, Di friend fo-ever?

Na, Denge'ue fever

Random thoughts

You’re heaven scent

Senses spent

Glancing eyes

Iridescent

You have an aura that surrounds

You have the ladies

The gentle men

All making rounds

I see intent in her stare you see

When eyes lock… it’s a rarity

I've been alone in this roiling sea

The dock calls where it’s safe to be

The journey never ends

Spilling me

Drowning me

Blocking a life from receiving me

I pass my time on a beach

The sun

Baking me

Browning me

The journey never ends

Mocking me

Teasing me

Getting to the bottom of a stone that sits on top of me

You know the journey never ends

Even though you know it will

For now, it’s spicy blue

And walks beside you

You know the journey never ends

Black and White

Reunite

Keep it in the open where it all feels right

I've neglected my blog for over a year.  I'm not sure why since I enjoy writing...and hopefully a few people enjoy reading my ramblings.  I think I just decided to shut down for a while...in a lot of ways.

Not much has changed. Negatively, the band fell apart, I totaled my truck, and I've had a few other unfortunate things occur but I know things could be worse.  Positively, I've met some really great people in the past 12 months, my kids are doing well, and I'm not ready for depends undergarments.  

I hear either crickets or cicadas right now...rain drops...and quiet.  It's March 20th in Florida so that's typical I suppose.  My beautiful daughter turns 21 soon so I feel old...but I don't act old (or really feel old for that matter). She's my sweetie.  My son is really into basketball lately so I bought a portable hoop for him and we've been playing. He has a lot more energy than I do (of course) but he still has a hard time shooting over me...yet, he's a much better shot than I am.  We go back and forth on games of horse, but the one time we played one-on-one I beat his Justin Bieber lookin' ass.  (I had to say that son...love you!)  Oh, and yes, he still looks like that idiot kid that sings.

I've been spending a lot of time with myself lately and that introspection has helped me in a few ways, but I don't know how I would have survived without  my best friend Tish.  She has supported me for so long and I can't thank her enough.  She's engaged to my friend Steve and I'm so looking forward to their wedding.

I hope everyone finds their peace.

Steve
