so, in the interest of trying to tickle out some new lyrics for a new set of songs, and also in the interest of just provoking me into writing regularly again (and reading), i've decided to force inspiration for some poems by digging through my old glovebox.
okay, that sounds weird.
what i mean is, when i first got my car in '06, i almost immediately took it on a 3500 mile road trip from ohio to the southwest and back, and throughout the course of that trip, for financial reasons, i kept every gas receipt together in my glove box. that's a lot of gas receipts. then, after the trip, for other financial reasons (i.e. not having any money at all) i didn't drive for about nine months. then, the next summer, i went cross-country again and was amused to find all these old gas receipts in my glovebox. anyway, cut to now and massive freaking amounts of gas receipts in my car, many from places i didn't even know i've ever been in (apparently i have been).
i thought it might be a good and interesting start to dig through these old receipts and spit some rhymes about them (so to speak). so i'll be starting tonight or tomorrow. wish me luck. ones that are especially good might end up cross-posted on the lazy blazers page, if i think they might work as songs. which reminds me...if you haven't become a fan of lazy blazers yet, DO IT.
