Zoetry

What's "Zoetry"?

It's poetry by one of the kindest, cutest, most admirable girls that I have been so blessed to call my friend: Zoe - "Lil' Veg Veg"(courtesy of Jesse) - Bass Zoe - Funny Zoe - Kind Zoe - GirlThatEveryGuyLikes Zoe - TheListGoesOn Zoe...

This Zoe:





quiet teiuq


Just wrench my heart out, Rachael.

She's the softest, saddest soul.

What a rockstar.

"It'll be just as quiet when I leave."

My dear blog "Utopia and the Grave",

I love and hate you ... so MUCH.
As much as the size of an elephant (or something like that).
Just leave me alone or something.

Oh, and I got a twitter. FOLLOW ME NOW!!

Intents and "Epilogue"

Today in my Jazz Styles and Analysis class, we discussed how so many of us musicians worry about what the audience, our peers, and our teachers think of our playing, our interpretations, our technique, or our improvisations.

Then I realized how selfish humans are.  We care so much about who sees us and our achievements.  We're afraid of being forgotten, unnoticed, criticized for our mistakes.
Perhaps there is a reason for our selfish natures.  Think about it.   Our internal reasons, as conceited as they are, for performing, for working, for building, are what promote development and movement in the arts, sciences, even the day-to-day living circumstances.


I let that sound-eating monster eat me

and screamed out these melodies:

"Just for once, rid me of selfish cares

And let me be a true artist
Let nobody see."

But in that monster's pit, no one heeding,

 and it'd just be me 

Engulfed to the final truth

with no one to hear

Nightmares are dreams too.
