I don't have a journal. I'm not that kind of guy. Not that there is anything wrong with that kind of guy. Beside of course for getting beat up all the time. I keep a file on my computer that I fill with words and phrases that I think might come in handy if ever I was to write another song. This way it looks like I am actually working. It is much safer than Solitaire.

 

 

I have included a rant that I wrote to close my lyric collection. I called it "Expletives Deleted". "Expletives Deleted" is itself a collection of lyrical fragments I had scribbled down for use at a later date. Sometimes you leave something for a later date as in "this is good, I have to save it." Sometimes you leave something for a later date as a gentle way of saying "this is garbage." As you read on, see if you can tell which is which....then let me know.
