Hey Good Lookin’, Whatcha Got Cookin’?

Ahoy lads and gals, how it be? I am dandy here. I had a delightful lunch with a good friend named Stephanie Herres (pronounced Harris) at the local Chili’s. We talked a lot about some good and bad things that were happening around us. She is actually one of the few friends that I can go a whole month without talking to, but then whenever we start talking again, we can pick up right where we left off. That’s a great quality to have in a friend. Much like Justin, I am getting rather frustrated with being a bum. I had a job interview at Life Management Center last week and I have an [annoyingly rescheduled] interview next Tuesday at Sunland Center. Please pray for my about my job situation. Last night, I wrote a song for the first time in a while. It was fun, hope you like. It’s about a friend…


1,185 Days & Counting

(Verse 1)

I pulled out an old calendar
Marred & marked with days
Old things brought back
Some good & bad memories
This is one about you:

I counted old days
Recalling several things
Happy & sad times
Working through some pain
Don’t be scared, everything is okay

(Chorus)

I knew it could never work
I knew it would never be
When you said to me
It’s too hot in Florida

But, now I can move on
To put the past behind me
Believing everything—
When you said,
“This could be the only way”

(Verse 2)

It’s been so long
To say anything
Clinging to substance
Waiting for the right time
Waiting to enhance this

Bleeding faster than the rest
Foretelling the future
Of failures & hopes
No success stories here
Just an account of all the fears

(Chorus)

I knew it could never work
I knew it would never be
When you said to me
It’s too hot in Florida

But, now I can move on
To put the past behind me
Believing everything—
When you said,
“This could be the only way”

(Verse 3)

I think a lot
Mostly talking to myself
Rewording past conversations
Reworking the envy
Just trying to figure out everything

But, I cannot help it
These thoughts still remain
When I think of the northeast
Or think about past memories
You are there the most

(Chorus)

I knew it could never work
I knew it would never be
When you said to me
It’s too hot in Florida

But, now I can move on
To put the past behind me
Believing everything—
When you said,
“This could be the only way”

(Bridge)

I think I’m done
I think I’ve lost
I think I should just lay low
But, I’m reminded of you wherever I go

Seeing red cars
Seeing puppy dogs
Seeing my life for all it’s worth
Seeing someone who helped bring it forth

(Chorus)

I knew it could never work
I knew it would never be
When you said to me
It’s too hot in Florida

But, now I can move on
To put the past behind me
Believing everything—
When you said,
“This could be the only way”
