I’m happy with my SongFu song and I think that people should vote for it. I put lyrics out on another blog entry. But I like it so much that there’s a better version that I have put on my myspace site and on the Too Much Awesome website on my profile page.
Just watch out when you go to my TMA profile site. There’s a song on there called ‘Humbug’ with some cussin in it!

This is something I dashed off. It’s stupid. I haven’t been blogging very much lately. Haven’t really felt like it. I don’t really like to blog much anymore. I think I’m afraid of being online. I was happier when I had fewer people that I knew floating around here. Oh well. Ack.

I need to be better. I’m not eating, and I’m not sleeping. I need to get ON-IT!.
Apparently, it’s really not very motivating to have your entire psyche filleted by a physic vampire – but there you go.
I’m being really extreme here. I’m totally fine.
I just can’t seem to get it together. Song Fu opens up this week again. ACK! My studio is a SHAMBLES. There’s stuff on Brigit’s Flame to do. I’m not going to even bother to make links. All this means that I pretty much just need to get all this stuff together. Like I say I’m going to do but never really quite manage to complete.
Oh well, at least I have written my complete bio.

I have a friend called Shelley who is a very motivated human. I met her in Longhorn Band. I have to admit that I wasn’t a huge fan of my time in the band, as I spent most of my time in the pit percussion area (mallet instruments), muttering under my breath. Like Gollum, but not as charming.
Anyway, Shelley exercises and stuff. I’m kind of on an exercise kick too, and I’m receiving the benefit of happy drugs since I’m ditching some of my more offending pharmaceuticals. I won’t get into it, but I’m not as sickly as I used to be. No more Hector Pi Laureate or anything. No more hormonal madness. Nada. So I have an oppurtunity to bend my metabolism to my ever-loving whim.
I put my goals up in a previous blog entry. So how am I doing?
Well, not well so far. This is typical of me. I always rebel at the first start. I stick my tongue out at it.
AT THIS POINT:
1. I have not gone to martial arts this week once. This is bad because I only went once last week, and twice the week before. Unk! I’m going to have to go tomorrow morning, which is going to HURT! And then there’s classes every day including Saturday. I should try to make Saturday, because they have tournament practice then. I should also go Thursday, because that’s when I usually meet up with the 8pm people (which is where I should be tonight!).
2. I didn’t write down my food for the last two days. This is a two day slip-up and has happened for the first time in over a month. I’ve been good about this for an entire month. I’ll write down my food as soon as I’m done with this blog. I’m going to take my vitamins too, because I just loaded three weeks worth of them. It’s not on my “official” list of goals – but it should be in my mind.
3. I practiced for over 4 hours today, so that’s good. It was not really regimented practice, nor did I really get any ideas down. I am firming up ideas for 3 or 4 songs that will need to be finished and put on the 2 hour set though. I’ll need to tighten up on the scheduling and get organized about the rehearsing soon, but it’s good work. I did some good vocal rehearsing.
4. I was all over the place today, socially. I’m net-stalking people who really shouldn’t be net-stalked … I’m CARING WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK (this is a huge no-no in my case), I’m getting in over my head. I need to detach and go back into my own little world. I have told myself that I’m Face-banned. I don’t know for how long. This is good. I’ve enrolled in a writing contest and I’m waiting for Song Fu. These things don’t directly pertain to my goal … but they will help keep me out of the trouble that excessive brooding brings.
I will try not to engage in excessive blogging, or Twittering … or anything.
5. I didn’t get anything done on the studio, but everything tiny thing in the house that I clean is a step in the right direction toward that.

I have gotten into Masters of Song Fu round three by the skin of my ass. Here is the song, ‘O Queen‘ – and its lyrics below. I will post reviews of both rounds on this site.
Thank you! 
O QUEEN
Men look at queens of the past for their clues
trying to see where the problem lies
in these old women’s shoes
Many men could have said / off with the ladies head!
what shall I do with her ?
maybe my wife should burn …
CH
Queen Christina, oh Queen Christina
how thankful am I, that I live my life in 2009 …
I look to the past and know my sorry ass
would have tried not to fight
but my head would have ended up upon a pike –
for all to see
matrimonial expressions of horror
at justice gone so awry!
CH / BR
If now were then
would you’ve pulled me off of the fire … then ..?
- instead of now asking me for advice
CH-out
Queen Christina, Queen Christina oh queen …
PS. Christina is Christina of Sweden. She was not executed and lived from 1626-1689. She was the daughter of Gustavus Adolphus and she was a patron of the arts – helping men such as Corelli and Scarlatti.

This is Tori, the gerbil in question and the star of the Masters of Song Fu Round Two competition song ‘Anna’s Gerbil & the Singularity.’ Tori is part of a gerbil community with the charming name Twin Squeaks Gerbils. I really lucked out by not sampling some random gerbil. I know all gerbils are God’s creatures; all heading toward eventual singularities of their own … But this is a celebrity gerbil. She’s had many views. She’s got more fans than me …
Random Gerbil would be an AWESOME band name …

Here it is:
‘Anna’s Gerbil & the Singularity‘
You can vote at the Quick Stop Songfu webite. If you have trouble voting, refresh the cache and try again. The voting engine has been squinky.
Below is the story of the song. If you feel there are any gaps or questions, use your imagination!
Happy Hearing
DH
The way I keep things (relatively) short is to do it in list form, so we’ll keep it to that:
‘ANNA’s GERBIL & the SINGULARITY’ …
1. Anna is abruptly awakened! Her gerbil was already awake, spinning-spinning on his cute wheel.
2. She hears something … she is amazed and communes with it. Its beauty distracts her from a hostile takeover of her bedroom.
3. This is their first step.
4. The strange visitors come in two forms … Master and Slave
5. The slaves can fit in a cage … but gerbils don’t think of themselves as slaves like the visitors do
6. The slaves are very tiny, the masters, are not. The masters have lovely voices.
7. The gerbil doesn’t want to share his cage with tiny programmed slaves running robot military drills in between his wheel and the food.
8. Anna feels her gerbil is upset; the gerbil becomes agitated and protests his plight by loudly stomping his foot.
9. The tiny robots suddenly understand they are in a first contact situation and immediately disappear – taking their large ship and masters with them.
Do Anna and her gerbil now share a psychic connection? Did the self-improving scarily advanced “race” of robots’ finally reach a tipping point into self-actualization? Did the robots and the gerbil come together in a kind of psychic and territorial peace treaty? Were the robots ever going to grow in size?
Who knows? Maybe they had eerie weapons and it is better they left. Maybe they went to a certain wormhole to study the reject song ideas. Or simply, to rock.

Vote for my SONG FU song here. Or forward this to EVERYONE you know so that THEY can vote for it
The voting engine is having trouble. So you may have to try a few times. This is a pain, so action will really jack up your karma!
Also, to further add to the confusion, my track is a bit … quiet. Make sure you turn it up. Yes, I will learn how to normalize properly in the next round. The song is still, however, a STUNNER!
DH, out
PS. The song is not actually called ‘Leave the Stone Alone, Yep.’ There is no ‘yep.’ I had to send a corrected file. If I’d been able to send another, or another in a series of orrected (perhaps normalized?!) file/s … you may be begging all your friends to vote for ‘Leave the Stone Alone_Yep2 ;’ or even ‘Leave the Stone Alone_Yo-Diggety-Doo-Shampoopidditydoo’
And that’s just CRAZY Talk!

Here are the lyrics to ‘Leave the Stone Alone’ – which is actually just called ‘Leave the Stone Alone,’ and not ‘Leave the Stone Alone_Yep’
See me there … innocuous rock /
You don’t care, you’re gonna pick me up
And put me in your hand you fool of a man /
Even though I’m minding my own business in my garden
You put me in your pocket – perhaps you’re stupid /
I’m getting angry at your impudence
You assume I can do nothing about your insolence /
And that there’s nothing more to me than symmetry and smoothness
I think – real – hard, the air … starts – moving
I start to laugh … you’ll be a hapless victim of my master plan
Your stomach starts to burn and churn and soon you’re feeling smaller
Like Alice down in Wonderland you’re nowhere that you understand
And although I’m inanimate – seems someone bested you – guess who …
CH
You’ve gone through a wormhole where the reject song ideas go
You’re a paper clip now – stretching out to hold a memo
I’m an angry rock, and I settled the score / I’m not the only object anymore
When the magic wears off it will be all over
But you’ll remember …
You better leave the stone alone : ||
The spell wears off … You shook it off /
You thought it was a bad dream – that you woke up from
My wormhole spit you back into your human shape, ‘n the-way-it-works,
the magic vapor dissipates and then I gotta wait … for … it
You seem to ‘remember, something ’bout a rock /
Your booty’s sore from being twisted ’round the legal docs
And I don’t have an arm to smack you, or legs to track you /
When you see the stone you think it’s me – I focus … to attack you
So I c-concentrate …. once again the air shakes
I think the dirty mouths of people sure do stank …
CH
You’ve gone through a wormhole
Where the reject song ideas go
I have hurled you through the void / In the form of an altoid
Although I cannot move … I search and destroy
I’m an angry rock, and I settled the score
I’m not the only object anymore
When the magic wears off you’ll be a human again and it will be all over
But you’ll remember
You better leave the stone alone
(“You better leave the stone a-lone” / “It’s never done nothin’ to you, now”)

Oh …. CRAP! Song Fu is UP! The anticipation is too MUCH! I haven’t read it yet. The anticipation has been too much. I thought I’d blog first. Will check back in full spaz mode …
