Flowers, sweets and a frog = my valentines day. Now off to dinner. Remember, life is good no matter what & you are loved.

THE GET UP KIDS- "Valentine"

It’s words you forget to anniversary songs
The bottles bite back
Your tolerance wrong
Your good intentions count for little anymore
If you're sorry why wage war?
I’m not fully convinced that there's something wrong with this
Could another point of view, biased and untrue, tear me away from you?
Will you be my valentine if I’m a world away?
Apologies are breaking me
The constants aren't so constant anymore
For two days i wait for calls to come through
Tonight for me translates to yesterday to you
You bend and you wave when you're barely away
I wish i could say tonight that when you bend
And wave goodbye you'd take me with you

Monday brightened by a frog. Yep.

ALL - "Frog"

I’ve got a frog in my pocket
It’s not a big frog, I like it anyway
One time I tried to hock it
You can’t get much for that kind of frog these days

But you can have fun with an amphibian
Just put him back when you’re done
Back in your pocket, pocket
Or else he'll jump away
I know it’s only a frog
It’s not a cat or a dog
It’s not a prize winning hog
But don’t you knock it, knock it

Just the other day
I heard this old man say
"I had a frog just like that when I was much, much younger
One day I let ol' Oscar get away
One night he lost himself in the fog
I raised Oscar from a pollywog
I swear to god, I do miss that frog"
That frog

"I had a frog just like that when I was much, much younger
One day I let ol' Oscar get away
The other night we had a similar fog
I thought I saw him in a hollow log
I swear to god, I do miss that frog"
That frog

MINOR THREAT - "Straight Edge"

I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and fuck my head
Hang out with the living dead
Snort white shit up my nose
Pass out at the shows
I don't even think about speed
That's something I just don't need

I've got the straight edge

I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than sit around and smoke dope
'Cause I know I can cope
Laugh at the thought of eating ludes
Laugh at the thought of sniffing glue
Always gonna keep in touch
Never want to use a crutch

I've got the straight edge
I've got the straight edge
I've got the straight edge
I've got the straight edge

MIXTAPES - "Pop Rocks N' Coke"

I got this feeling deep inside me
Here's another three day crush
It's like a jiggle
JP's wiggle is a massive sugar rush

Eating pop rocks, drinking Coke
I think my stomach might explode
If Mikey likes to try it, so can I

But I can't explain it, I just know it
You'll just have to wait and see
It's like a Chiapet inside me
I've seen on TV

Eating pop rocks, drinking Coke
I think my stomach might explode
If Mikey likes to try it, so can I

I can't fall asleep at night
I would close my eyes but I would fall asleep
When I think I might explode
You better watch out now
Cause here I go

So that was in me
Still working, windy
That's just goofy at it's best
I feel a rumble, tickle, tumble
Man, my stomach's upset

Eating pop rocks, drinking Coke
I think my stomach might explode
If Mikey likes to try it, so can I

throwing bones with bread and circus to disguise the proof
you only empower yourself when those in need become your new
test subjects in your smear campaign 101

dropping empty promise again focus away from day to day for your own ends
their means are dying

to rid deception, to sift and purify.
filter out the desecrated...sift...sanctify what she created.
Dying with a goal in mind to save me
from that which contaminates drives us to misery.
die, with a goal I'm dying.

THRICE - "Anthology"

Our life’s built of tin cans and string
But the cornerstone laid is a wondrous and beautiful thing,
sure in the ground.

And while the North wind has taken its toll,
you have helped me to find my way back and to anchor my soul
safe in the sound.

O, you know me
O, and I know you;
and I know that
we can see this through

I bragged of baring my bones,
said if we heard the howling
I'd run out to face it alone,
to meet it half way.

But I've still got badges to earn,
so keep sifting my soul,
‘cause I think that I'm starting to learn
to love you that way

O, you know me
O, and I know you;
and I know that
we can see this through

And it's true that you could snap my neck,
but I trust you'll save my life instead,
‘cause our love is a loyalty sworn.
If we hold to our hope
then I know we can weather the storm,
whatever they say.
Come what may.

O, you know me
O, and I know you;

In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in a world of my creation
Look and see
We'll defy explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there you'll be free
If you truly wish to be

There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there you'll be free

LUCERO - "My Best Girl"

Well i'm a sucker for some pretty eyes
But they're going home with some other boy tonight
Hell, i guess i'll be fine
'cause there's one girl whose all mine
She's seen it before, she'll see it again
Because those other girls going home with him
And i'll go back to her and she don't mind

She's my best girl
She's got six strings
She knows all about these
Heartbreaking things
And though her eyes might not shine
She's always by my side
Hell, she's all mine
For all night
She's my best girl by far
She's all mine
For all night
And she'll never break my heart

Well she don't care if i come home late
Or if i don't come home for seven long nights
She knows that i'm hers and she knows to wait
She knows those other girls just won't last
She knows i'll always come on back
To her
She's all that i've got

She's my best girl
She's got six strings
She knows all about these
Heartbreaking things
And though her eyes might not shine
She's always by my side
She's all mine
For all night
She's my best girl by far
She's all mine
For all night
The only girl a boy can trust
Is his guitar

SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE - "The Prophet"

sun shines on my face
how it's golden design
rain falls in this place
and the fields come alive
days are only rumours we've wasted

we cross the millions
we'll see where we stand
far removed from the womb
will you carry me across the sea?
will you carry me?
we can drink from fountains
and the taste of truth
far removed from the womb

rhythm and mind
don't waste no time
want to let it all out
when the chains fall off
and the walls fall down
when we break the seal
and our hearts pour out
when the frozen ground
comes alive around us
with a scream

ENSIGN - "Direction Of Things To Come"

Now is the time for the kids to take a stand
For what is right in our lives
It's up to you and me
To make a change, move forward
We won't be left behind
This is our life, our time
It's time we set things right
No excuses this time
For what's been said and done
Take control of your life
Just stand your ground
What will they say
When we take up the fight
No more mistakes
It's up to you and I
To ignore the labels, step out side the lies
I know together, together we'll set things right
No excuses this time
For what's been said and done
Take control of your life
Just stand your ground
You and me we can stand up
Go against the grain
This is our life and this is our time
It's time we made a change
You and me we can stand up
Have a say
This is our life and this is our time
It's time we made a change

ALKALINE TRIO - "Crawl"

Send "Crawl" Ringtone to your Cell
Waking up zeroed in on medicine
Am I waking up at all today
Seeing lights, feeling pain
There's my cure on ice
I can walk but I will crawl there
I will crawl there
Sitting straight, feeling faint
An exhausted smile screens my words
But I will hear them
Here's a phrase that we all know
But I can't make sense
I don't know words but I will hear them
I still hear them
Never ran away for the sake of scars
Tried not to move but she was armed
And shots were fired
Now a hole in the head of this wounded liar
Never had a drink that I didn't like
Got a taste of you, threw up all night
I got more sick
With every sour second rate kiss
Everything I never would miss again
I don't know who your boyfriend is

NEW BRUISES - "Sleeping With The Ants, Again"

I need to get my shit together
Just one more night of fucking off

Fight or flight, my hands are bleeding
Introspection turned inside out

All signs must be blurred I'm reading
Cause the path I chose won't work out

In the morning a gut wrenching feeling
My hands are tied but I'm not blind
Another swallow of that fucking poison
The guilt subsides, the cycle starts again

I need to get my act together
Get on track or fall behind

It's my life
A collision or sharp incline

This is my life
It's my life and I'm done

You told me that you hated lines,
Hate being told what to do,
You can bitch and you can whine,
But whose idea was the cue?

And I know it's just my opinion,
The lines are in my mind,
They lead me to my indecision,
So what are you gonna do,
When the same applies to you?

She told me that she doesn't care,
Doesn't matter if he dies,
She told me that I'm unaware,
Words are just a waste of time?

They lead me to my indecision,
So what are you gonna do,

SMALL BROWN BIKE - "Now I'm A Shadow"

I'm here for now and everyone went left. Youre here with all of my strings attatched. Count down all of my remaining days. Dead sense in my head and this chest pain that i cant take. If i could see you. If I was with you. You could destroy me. But never completely. I hold the distance to my head. And whisper to myself, "It's fine." This road is really not so far. With my head in a vice as i reach for my safety line. This stretch is like murder. I reach too far, pull out my heart. I want to give it away. I reach too far, and play my part. Now you see me, and now I'm a shadow.

NOFX - "We March To The Beat Of An Indifferent Drum"

With our ass in the air and our heads in the ground
There's no sense of despair, without sight, without sound
We hold our ears and shut our eyes
Distant screams morph into lullabies
We beat indifferent drum, we pound it till we're numb

We validate, rationalize, corroborate each others lives
Pat my back and I'll pat yours, benevolent conquistadors
We piss down throats, shit in cupped hands
Wipe our asses with all foreign flags
We beat indifferent drum, we pound it till we're numb

20 feet high, 2 feet thick, barbed wire, razor blades
The wall was built to keep them out while keeping us in goose step parades
We don't question what we've become
We march to the beat of the same indifferent drum
We beat it till we're numb, we beat it till we're numb

JETS TO BRAZIL - "Pale New Dawn"

sickly surrender to cola remember machines
shaky somnambulist shiver out all your screams
go to the room with the chair and wait for your life
scared that the voices i hear may never be mine

seven december a paper back letter recalls
you knew such happiness crashing her loveliness one wedded fall
cutting through gray where you're holding the pages amazed
cutting the picture to ribbons in winter parades

pale new dawn put something on
you're thinking faster than i run
now the more i get connected
the less i know who i am
and it feels like i'm the only one

the month has gone rabbits the winter is taking my life
am i a passenger passing through scenes in someone else's life
cold will outlast me apartments are castles in space
warm with the void holding court in a four poster grave

pale new dawn put something on
i hate the shape of things to come
now the more we get connected
the less i know who you are
i dont' think you thought that far

they gave you a food stamp
for the air sucking wound in your chest
all the best. all the best.

strange pale fighter you only grow lighter in time
willfully silent declaring yourself with your cold scribbled rhyme
making her find you beneath all the skin of your mind
she's digging towards nothing a hollowed out center in time

pale new dawn put someone on
i hate the shape of all you want
now the more you get connected
the less i get who you are
but i don't want to think that hard

it's a lonely way to live
when you take what you give (and you don't give in)
in a nation of promises
your anonymous promises

POSTAL SERVICE - "Recycled Air"

I take a breath and pull the air in 'til there's nothing left
I'm feeling green like teenage lovers between the sheets

Ba ba ba ba ...

Knuckles clenched to white as the landing gear retract for flight
My head's a balloon inflating with the altitude

Ba ba ba ba...

I watch the patchwork farms' slow fade into the ocean's arms
And from here they can't see me stare
The stale taste of recycled air
I watch the patchwork farms' slow fade into the ocean's arms
Calm down, release your cares

And I won't allow myself,
To entertain last season's morbid thoughts,
She's waiting in the rain,
Said "Meet me by the train",
It's Christmas time, we're going to get away

Turn the key, open the door,
You don't want to see my face any more,
Fading like the snow to rain,
Turn the key, open the door,
You don't want to see my face any more,
Fading like the snow to rain

(He's putting it all to?) experience,
(There's a good locked door?),
Through the windows, triggering alarm codes,
Set a pitch for his love,
Gets a bullet in the chest,
He tries to recall her face as his socks are damp with blood

Turn the key, open the door,
You don't want to see my face any more,
Fading like the snow to rain,
Turn the key, open the door,
You don't want to see my face any more,
Fading like the snow to rain

Winter comes again,
Father Christmas drunk on gin,
Can't bring himself to face the world again,
She's waiting in the rain,
Said "Meet me by the train",
It's Christmas time, we're going to get away

Turn the key, open the door,
You don't want to see my face any more,
Fading like the snow to rain,
Turn the key, open the door,

A WILHELM SCREAM - "Better Health By Screaming In Tune"

Most times I'm listening; same words, same ringing in my head. Jaw drops, the frequency, so everyone can here what you meant to me. Approaching my days like the first step in water, sinking now, sinking now. What's that to you, when I deserve to be alone? And I don't have the nerve to make do with what I know. I've been running out before I began to lose the race I'm running in. Wake me up from my nightmare before I start liking it. This dream is just a lie Keep living your false life. Please wake me up from mine. I'm laughing but it's airtight. I watch my lungs close. How much you'll never know. I'm learning by you. You let your heart be moved. I live to see mine choke, and I'd die to watch it go. I'll learn to move along, just like you do because it feels good to be alone. But when I'm feeling harmless, there you are to fuck it up for me. Can I move along, just like you do? Because it feels good to be alone. And I'm feeling harmless. There you are. There you are. It feels good to be alone. I deserve to be alone.

Today was the ULI Tampa Bay Trends Confernece. Everyone was cautiously optimistic about the economy - fingers crossed!

TRIAL - "This Is Not A Trend"

Its so much more than just a slogan or a mark drawn on my hand
Not a market to be exploited or a fashion statement
Represented by a brand
It's a feeling and it can't be sold
And I'm bound by my word
To stay true to what I know to be real
Because no one else can tell me what it means to be Straight Edge
So don't ever try to purchase me or downplay what I feel
Because this commitment is not a passing phase
It's for myself that I've made this choice
It's for life that I embrace the edge
It comes from deep in my heart
I live to oppose their intoxication
My source of inspiration is threatened now by a false embrace
To be diluted and absorbed without a second chance
But standing defiant I won't let it end
So don't ever try to purchase me or downplay what I feel
Because this commitment is not a passing phase
Don't plan for me to sell out or expect to pull me down
These days will turn to years as you wait for us to fall
Because we will rise!
This is not a trend
Times will change but my spirit remains
Times will change but my feelings won't fade
Times will change but the spirit remains
Times will change but the truth is the same
This is not a trend.
Go!!!

Beat down the lies till they're black and blue

Show me show me show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I’ll run away with you
I’ll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
Why are you so far away? she said
Why won’t you ever know that I’m in love with you
That I’m in love with you

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You’re just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

With no snow and wind at 30 mph (with gusts up to 85 mph), we skipped skiing again today. Instead, we went for a ride on a paddelwheeler, the M.S. Dixie II. It was amazingly rough on the way over to Emerald Bay - must have been 6 ft waves. Very unusual conditions for the lake. We still had a lovely time... the wave action also made the conditions just right for rainbows! Hooray!

MINUS THE BEAR - "Electric Rainbow"

What did you do?
What did you do?
You got some heat on you,
Got some heat on you.

They've been tracing all your moves.
Your mark has made you his,
And if you want to live,
Let me suggest this:

"Get a gun,
And get a car.
Get on the 25 South to Mexico.
Find some place and lay low, just lay low."

I just need to check the score.
Because girl,
You've got to move.

Oh, stay lonely, stay quiet.
Stay, and you'll keep breathin' air.

How did it go so wrong, so fast?
A confidence and then a money grab.
Simple enough, simple enough a plan.
It all went to shit and you're on the run,
At least you got the cash.

At least you got the cash.

Oh, stay lonely, stay quiet.
Stay, and you'll keep breathin' air.
Oh, stay lonely, stay quiet.
Stay, and you'll keep breathin' air.

Air,
You'll keep breathin'.

The road in front of our protagonist...
Rides in.

Then you'll slip this dough,
Under pillow,
Again.
Again.

Don't bring no lights on you.

What did you do?
what did you do?
You got some heat on you.
Got some heat on you.
They've been tracing all your moves.

What did you do?
What did you do?
You got some heat on you,
Got some heat on you.
What did you do?

What did you do?

Several people have approached me on this trip wanting to talk about the "we are what we believe" slogan printed on my FTHC hoodie and particularly the real meaning behind it... what should they believe? Here's what I believe: I believe you should seek to surround yourself with people who believe in you as much as you believe in them. I believe that you should find places that soothe your soul and visit often... one of those places for me is heavenly Lake Tahoe and I am so lucky to be here now. I believe that without an attitude of sustainability in all things we are lost. I believe that only music has the answer. What do you believe?

FRANK TURNER- "I Still Believe"

Hear ye, hear ye, friends and Romans, countrymen.
Hear ye, hear ye, punks and skins and journeymen
Hear ye, hear ye, my sisters and my brethren.
The time is coming near.

Come ye, come ye, to soulless corporate circus tops.
Come ye, come ye, to toilet circuit touring snobs.
Come ye, come ye, to bedrooms, bars and bunker squats.
The sound is ringing clear.

Now who'd have thought that after all,
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all.
And who'd have thought that after all, it was rock 'n' roll.

Hear ye, hear ye, now anybody could take this stage.
Hear ye, hear ye, and make miracles for minimum wage.
Hear ye, hear ye, these folk songs for the modern age,
Will hold us in their arms.

Right here, right now, Elvis brings his children home.
Right here, right now, you never have to feel alone.
Right here, right now, teenage kicks and gramophones.
We hold them in our hearts.

Now who'd have thought that after all,
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all.
And who'd have thought that after all, it was rock 'n' roll.

And I still believe (I still believe) in the saints.
Yeah, in Jerry Lee and in Johnny and all the greats.

And I still believe (I still believe) in the sound,
That has the power to raise a temple and tear it down.

And I still believe (I still believe) in the need,
For guitars and drums and desperate poetry.

And I still believe (I still believe) that everyone,
Can find a song for every time they've lost and every time they've won.

So just remember folks we not just saving lives, we're saving souls,
And we're having fun.

And I still believe.

Now who'd have thought that after all,
Something as simple as rock 'n' roll would save us all.

Now who'd have thought that after all,
Something so simple, something so small.
Who'd have thought that after all it's rock 'n' roll?

Today I visited a mine in Virgina City, NV. The minerals glow neat colors under a black light.

LUCERO - "Mine Tonight"

There's nothing romantic on the city streets
You drive down 'em once and you've seen everything
The river's rising up, the city's sinking down
Well I'm just trying to get back to the other side of town
Well I got a little girl, and she's waiting on me
She says 'I'll see you when you get home'
And now these working days are getting just a little too long
Well I can see her now, sitting at the kitchen table
Record player playing for my rock and roll angel
She says 'I'll see you when you get home'
Now we ain't got much
But this town belongs to us
Tonight she's mine, tonight
Tonight she's mine
The wind crossing over
The river just howls
Through the empty city streets that we drive down
Riding in the car, one arm around her
Living, this city's gonna be all ours
The wind on the river, such a beautiful sound
Now we ain't got much
But this town belongs to us
Tonight she's mine, tonight
Tonight she's mine
Cause tonight
She's mine for the night
Tonight she's mine
Tonight she's mine
Tonight she's mine
Tonight she's mine
Tonight she's mine
Tonight she's mine
Tonight she's mine
Tonight she's mine
Tonight she's mine
