My brother just came to ask me about the tune of a song. Apparently him and my mom were trying for a while to figure it out, then mom said to come ask me.

My brother did the basic 3 second riff and immediately I knew it was shooting stars by bag raiders. He couldn't believe it. He didn't even finish the riff before i joined in

I am a woman of one skill and that skill is knowing every single ear worm in existence

I turn 30 next month so here’s what I learned in my 20s:

—don’t work for startups, they’re always one ‘innovative idea’ away adding ‘sell your kidneys on the black market’ to your job description.

—keeping a collection of basic OTC medicine on you will save your life one day. I recommend Advil, Imodium, and TUMS.

—those little single-use glasses cleaning wipes are 1000% worth the money

—overly self-depreciating jokes just make people uncomfortable, wean yourself off of them

—you can buy dehydrated mini marshmallows in bulk online and they’re a godsend for hot cocoa

—people don’t care if you have fidget toys on your desk they just want to play with them

—try to go to bed BEFORE the existential ennui kicks in

Politics is the lie religious nuts came up with when they were told they couldn't be religious and make choices for a country.

All politicians are just religious fanatics using fancy words to sound like they aren't

It was on my calendar to visit my grama today. I was gonna tell her how I'm finally gonna be a real author. How something I dreamt up is gonna be available to the public soon. I was gonna tell her about it, and the artist I have drawing it, how she's the reason I love stories so much and want to make my own.

She died a couple days ago. And now she'll never know. And I can never see her again. I wanted to talk to her so much more this year. I miss her so much

It's official! I write for a comic strip!!!

New Song!

This ones called 'Maggy' and is my efforts at a story based country rock song. I got the idea for it when I was listening to a song bt "The Wallows" that had a line, 'why are girls in songs always 17' and I thougt that was true as shit. You always here about 17 year old girls in songs, so I decided to write a song about a girl who isn't 17. No, shes 18.

But really though, after that lyric making me want to make it, I was mostly inspired by the music of Kings Of Leon and Joe Pug for this one. I didn't try to write it as a country rick song, but that's usually where my more serious effort songs end up going.

I've never known anyone personally that went through this scenario, but I've heard many stories from women who've felt like they were forced into porn by lack of options and need for money. I wanted to try and capture how that feels from a more outside, more cycnical point of view. One that pretty much tries to say, "well what did she think would happen? We told her." Knowing full well the manipulation at play. It's about the lies of the big city dream, that if you can just get there, you can make it. It's about how we go to low places when we feel cornered, and about how shamelessly people take advantage of those sunken folk.

All in all, this song is about a girl who was desperate for money so she could live. All in all, this is meant to be a 'fuck capitalism' song.

Keep an eye out on my YouTube for an upcoming live performance of it!

Lyrics:

Now I've met a fair shair of people going through 'bout my days

Heard many tales a' caution

Seems there's shit all over the place

And I've got one such tale that I'd like to share with you

So y'all sit there right in your chairs as I spin my yarn to you

This is the story of a girl

She's just turned 18

She saved up to move to the city

And She's gonna live her dream

Ya See she's gonna be an actress

And it's gonna be sweet

But she could only afford the ticket

And now she's living in the Street

But straight off the plain

She was fresh and she was green

And soon to learn the truth

Of the city made of dreams

***

Maggy bought the bullshit

That she was always told

Maggy bought the only lie

That she was ever sold

She believed them when they told her

"Baby we promise you gold"

So trust us darling when we say

they'll really love your smile

So just keep smiling

***

At first she was a waitress

getting auditions now and then

But she couldn't keep that up though

As she'd only made one friend

And the wadges she was making

Were shitty as could be

And Maggy now was struggling

She couldn't find a place to sleep

So she turned to the adverts

Put her name down on the list

And a kind old man said i can take ya

If you'd only do just this

***

Maggy bought the bullshit

That she was always told

Maggy bought the only lie

That she was ever sold

She believed them when they told her

Baby we promise you gold

So trust us darling when we say

They'll really love your smile

So just keep smiling

***

She started as a model

Showin off in lingerie

But it wouldn't be too long

Before she couldn't get her way

See Maggy now was desperate

She needed money bad

And every time the call back came

She had to take the cash

You could see it on her face now

She'd finally got her dream

And she made it there by smiling

Every god damn week

***

Maggy bought the bullshit

That she was alway told

Maggy bought the only lie

That she was ever sold

She believed them when they told her

Baby we promise you gold

So trust us darling when we say

They'll really love your smile

So just

Keep

SMILING~~~
