I tell myself you're beautiful...
The last song I recorded I really like. It's weird, but not 'too' weird. The lyrics are:
Some sort of lyrical battle
Attacking my insides
This papermate is my best friend
So I choose to stay and die
And I will ask a favor
You don't have to agree
You don't even have to listen
Because you struggle willingly
I tell myself you're beatiful
But that don't make it true
Now I look for a reason
For me to love you
Some sort of lyrical battle
Attacking my insights
This best friend is paper thin
So I choose to stay and fight (and die)
And I will ask a favor
You don't have to agree
You don't even have to listen
Because you struggle willingly
I tell myself you're beatiful
But that don't make it true
Now I look for a reason
For me to love you
On a completely different note...
The countdown begins. My first full length CD is waiting arrival. There is no set date, nor is there a required amount of songs, but I imagine that in the next two months it will be out and about. My last CD (if you can call it that... *Shakes head in disappointment*) came out June 1st of this year. I had about 20 songs lined up for the next one after it, but I really didn't like many of them. So I junked them. ALL of them. Well, one song made the cut. Maybe two if Kyle Riabko and I get together soon, but I don't know. Anyway, the next one will be good. Lots of variety, a mixture of old simple acoustic-sounding stuff, as well as a lot of weird new styles that don't seem like the Graham Tilsley that Aaron would describe (musically).
I am in need of assistance for an album cover/insert. I don't think I want my face on the front cover, maybe not even on the inside... Although I do love the feeling of listening to a musician and then finding out what they look like, because the image you paint in your head is totally off, so who knows. Maybe on the inside cover I could have a picture of myself, and the front could be ____________ (Yes, fill in the blank). If you have suggestions, feel free to inform me of them, you wise bastards.
If any of you get the chance, I have some movies to recommend and some to suggest for you to stay away from.
Garden State - Starring Zach Braff, written by him, produced by him, and something else by him too... He's the man of the hour (and not bad looking too...). I watched it twice in one night, I would have watched it again but I ate McDonald's and it made me sick. It's been a few days since I saw it, and I crave it so incredibly much. I need to see it again. Real soon, I am desperate. Soundtrack is really good too. Major promotion of the Shins.
Amelie - I have been told to watch this for a long time now. I am a lazy guy though, and subtitles don't seem too appealing (I fell asleep during Crouching Tiger Hidden Fucker or whatever its called), but after the first few scenes, you don't even notice the movie is not in English. I like the music a lot too. New found acceptance and appreciation of the accordian.
Darkness - Shit. Complete shit. If it was supposed to be a horror (which it was advertised to be), it was a half assed attempt that I could do a better job at. I was really hoping that during one of the "scary" scenes, Justin Hawkin's would jump out in one of his scantily clad outfits, but it didn't happen. It's a weird cultish lame poopy movie. A waste of money. The end.
I feel like ending on a good note, and Darkness was just not doing it for me. So I shall tell the story of my day today.
At my school, we have these spots for "Student of the month" or whatever, at my school it's called "Falcon of the month" though. Anyway, two of the three displays had photo's and a little write-up about why that person was chosen. Me, being the guy who does not do charity, or volunteer to work at a hospital or whatever the fuck those people are chosen for, decided that my hopes and dreams of becoming a Falcon of the Month before graduation were shattered. But only TWO of the three were occupied. I ran home and took a picture of myself with the digital camera, printed it, typed up some lame paragraph about how I helped some lady in Radioshack (which did not happen...) and then ran back to school. I taped it up on the outside of the display case and it stayed there until lunch. It was neat. I was the Falcon of the Half-day. It made me happy.

I wish I went to graham.
My school hates eachother, so we don't have fun things like that.
I'm saving up to buy your cd now.
I'm really psyched about your album. Hardcore talent, Tilsley. Hardcore! I'll probably end up renting Garden State, thanks for contributing to the emptying of Arwen's bank account.
Evan and I were discussing about how depending on the artist, it's disappointing to find out what they look like. Example: Elliott Smith.
Holy shit I just had a great idea!! Put Murphy on the cover of your album!!! (or at least thank him in the liner notes for his many hours of inspiration, you fuck.)
There is a little man inside of me doing a jumping bean dance i am so excited about your new album. Yes, album. Your a friggin genius, pour our your soul.
And this weekend i am staying home, being lame, and watching Garden State. Congrats.
P.S. Falcon of the half-day kicks the pants off the ass of falcon of the month. Cheers!
