new.found.music.

songwriter hit a dry spell? add a broken heart and suddenly you overflow with words and melodies.

fresh tunes leads to the possibility of a new guitar. been looking at taylors, martins, guilds, and gibsons. decisions, decisions.

speaking of tunes quick run down of what's good in the recently released LPs:

eric church "chief" - great writer, musician, artist. great record. "springsteen" is phenomenal

luke bryan "tailgates and tanlines" - his best release yet. i like it alot more than i was expecting.

jake owen "barefoot blue jean night" - another collection of great summer tunes. <3

brantley gilbert "halfway to heaven" - great ga boy songwriter. re-relased his old independent LP

lady a "we owned the night" - i'm told it's great...i can't get through it without tears so i gave up.

colbie caillat "all of you" - love her voice and lyrics

matt nathanson "modern love" - i didn't think he could get any better. he did.

some of these might be repeats and i'm sure i left at least one out. great new music nonetheless.

vacation.solice.

vacation came and went. i had a nice week with mom, dad, tad, joey, and nana. we laughed, i cried (yes, still having those weak moments), we ate, drank, slept, walked, read, and tanned. learning to relax, one minute at a time. i constantly had a book in my hand to pass the down time.

i fell apart a couple times and then realized how shitty the end really was and i could get it back together.

the bottom line is that i had a beautiful girl with a huge heart and perfect smile for 7 years and 8 months. i miss her and all that we were. i dont miss who she has become these last few weeks.
