Rock Cookie Bottom

  2. #189! “Colors and Light” Trippy…

  3. #188:  “If You’re Love is on Fire.”  I’ve decided to put the # in the title. This song is kinda rockin’…look out.

  4. Click here for Jonathan on iLike.

    Um, I’m on iLike now, so if you’re into that kind of stuff, iLike away!

  5. #187! “Palin’s Resignation Speech in Song.”  Using words directly from her speech.

  9. Apartments.com Contest

    I’ve entered this video into Apartments.com’s “Roommate of the Year” contest. It’s currently in the finalist selection phase. If I make past this phase, then you can vote for me. For now, it would be great if you’d watch it (and rate it if you’re feeling extra uber helpful)! Plus, you get to see where I live!

  10. #183! “We’ll All be Fools!” We played the first show of our residency yesterday, and that’s where the footage comes from…unfortunately, the sound didn’t come out at all, so you’ll have to wait another week to see footage of us playing! But it went really, really well! Good turnout, lots of dancing, we had a blast! Hope to see you next week! This song is about you.

  11. #182! A bit of advice.

    big steps will only crush you
    small steps will never get you anywhere
    big steps means no one will touch you
    small steps learn to swim down under water

    big steps and the sky will open up
    small steps and the ground will suck you in
    big steps will land you soaking in a tub
    smalls steps you’ll be flying like a teradacyl through the air

    take medium steps!

  12. #181! Which way am I going?

  13. #180!  “Words Stuck”  Another parable, sort of.

    wandering down a road
    that i’ve been before
    i wonder which way i’ll go
    that signpost is familiar
    i know these trees and smells
    and words stuck in my throat

    don’t misunderstand me
    some stuff doesn’t have a name
    it’s a thought or a feeling

    going nowhere
    got no companion
    but i am not alone
    i smell lilacs
    hear the wind call
    words stuck in my throat

    it’s the world breathing
    it’s the burden of living leaving

    i had a raincoat
    but now i’ve lost it
    now i have no coat
    but if it rains
    i have words protect me
    words stuck in my throat

  14. #179! “The King Has a Bottom”.  A parable.
    first we’ll go by night
    then when coast is clear
    we’ll strike at once
    we’ll cut defenses down
    fight without fear
    know the journey’s long
    know no garuntee
    know each other
    know your brother well
    and we’ll know victory
    a hand, a mighty hand
    an arrow straight and true
    but we’re glad oh
    for the shadow falls
    on me and you
    city on the hill
    we die so she can live
    the blood we shed
    honors the dead that
    have nothing left to gives
    so sing my brother’s sing
    it’s closer than you think
    the king has a bottom
    through which death has brought him
    back from the brink

  15. #178. “I Used To Worship Michael Jackson” A childhood hero dies, and I’m left with these memories. (It should be fairly obvious, but yes, that’s me dancing at age 7.)
