The End Is Nowhere

I can’t seem to stop writing new songs to give myself enough time to record them.  Anyway, this song is about life.  So, for now it’s called just that.  I’d been playing this guitar riff over and over and over for about 3 days and coming up with really corny melodies that you’d probably recognize from a late ’90’s boy band.  Finally, tonight, I just sat down and hammered this out.  It’s easily one of the most honest/revealing songs I’ve ever written, which is where I’ve always found the most comfort and meaning in doing all this.  This is life.

Life

verse 1:
Every day is a war
Every night there’s a storm
Every time we ask ourselves,
What are we fighting for?

verse 2:
It’s a struggle at best
We are lost and a wreck
There is nothing to lose
But our lack of respect

chorus:
Why do we go on, fooling ourselves?
We never find a solution, or anything else
There’s enough pride in the room, to save us all
But no one is willing to lose, to die, or fall

bridge:
I don’t have the answers, I don’t even know the question
All I can do is try to find the right direction
When hope is lost I’ll carry on
And I’ll never wonder where you’ve gone

Her cheating DNA

I saw this article on MSN’s home page today, and it peaked enough interest to actually click on the link.  Normally, I stick to the Sports section, but a.) there was nothing of my interest going on in that world and b.) I was somewhat bored.

The article begins by telling women in relationship NOT to tell their boyfriends when they have cheated on them.  Her argument is that if it really was just a “one time thing”, there is no need to ruin a relationship over it.

My Question to her: Would she want her boyfriend to keep it a secret (potentially) forever if he cheated on her?

A little later, she explains what to do if he find out anyway.  The author recommends the girl should, “say how sorry you are, swear it’ll never happen again, and beg for his forgiveness.”

Guys, would you buy that?  Would you stay with her?

Girls, where have I heard the following: “Once a cheater, always a cheater”?  Oh, does that only apply to guys?  How convenient.

My Question to her: Would she forgive her boyfriend if she found out he cheated and was also planning on never telling him about it?  (You can probably tell where this line of questioning is going by now).

Lastly, out of nowhere, she suggests that some women have, “a genetic ‘cheating’ trait”, based on a study done at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London.

My OBVIOUS Question to her: Would she stay with a guy who suddenly discovers he was the “cheating gene” (assuming guys could also “carry” it).

This actually doesn’t surprise me, since we now live in a world where there is no such thing as “personal responsibility”.  No one is an “alcoholic” anymore, they are simply diagnosed with the “disease of alcoholism”, as if you can catch it by staying outside in the cold too long.  When are people going to have to account for their actions?  Oh right, when they meet their maker.
