Life on a Chain

This post could easily have been called “Strange Condition,” another of my favorite Pete Yorn songs, but “Life on a Chain” describes me best right now. And I do love that song. I always thought it was overshadowed by the success of “Strange Condition” on that same cd, so it gets top billing here…


Ugh! Too much work and not enough play. I know I’m going through a transition right now – with work and life – but I am so totally ready to just be transited! Ten and twelve hour days, and I come home too pooped for anything but a bath and bed. I’m just too exhausted for words.

There just aren’t any.

Really.

None.

So, I’m going to be random and use song titles to name my posts.

Some more.


I always have been mad into music. It’s funny that I never ended up playing an instrument with any true proficiency or talent. I gave all my would-be talent to Boy. He plays all the instruments. Seriously. All of them.

But I do have a good ear for what’s good or what’s going to be good or was good or should have been bigger. Always have had.

I make cds for friends. I give them as gifts for Christmas or sometimes just because. I have a buddy who’s from Guam, and he made a copy of a cd I burned for him and sent it to a cousin on Guam. End result: One of my cds is a big hit on the island of Guam. How’s that for bragging rights? The entire island of Guam likes one of my cd mixes. Too cool.

Apparently, it’s not a large island.
