It shouldn’t be a surprise that I draw a large amount of inspiration from Eddie Vedder of the band Pearl Jam.  One thing I know about him is that he always carries around a marble composition notebook.  You know, one of those notebooks you used to be required to get for 5th grade English class.  It’s pretty smart to keep something like that at hand, especially for him since he’s a lyricist.  But, I think for anyone with a creative mind or even just with much to say, it is also important to write down your thoughts sometimes.

So, that being said, I went out and I purchased a notebook and started to write down some things that would pop into my mind at various parts of the day.  I decided to throw some of them up on here every once in a while.  These are short, and aren’t meant as opinions or as discussion topics, rather they are just thoughts, or what I was feeling at the time the notebook was open in front of me.

Here goes:

The big flag waves and I sit under a tree
A slight breeze coupled by the shade from the leaves
Makes me feel as though the sun has gone home for the day
But the light still shines bright
And a blue canvas stands paintless in the sky.
I ponder where I’m going.
I ponder where I’ve been.
I concede to not know,
And that makes my life seem alright.

Lifeguard, in red, can you agree this beach seems a death bed?

A Bishop finally sleeps
After three days of feeling weak
He had his questions
Like “Did I do all God asked of me?”
And “Can you assure me I’ve done right?”
A Bishop finally sleeps
It’s God he finally meets.

There’s something so soothing about the sounds surrounding your silence.

This hole I’ve dug myself into is deep enough to be my grave.

Can I borrow your eyes in exchange for my shoes?  I need a new disguise, I need to be just like you.

I’ll try to do this everyone so often, as I fill up this notebook.  Thanks for reading though.
