THE SNNNNNAKE!

2010-03-26T17:35:00.003-04:00

On her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Take me in oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taking in had been revived
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died"
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake

"I saved you," cried that woman
"And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman," sighed the snake!

this is the kind of stuff that should be played in "bar/clubs" around here! they say that the west-coast is usually 5 years ahead of the times, right? haha, i'm sure at least over half of you have heard the hit "buzzin'" by Shwayze. i had to admit, i liked the mix of cisco and patrick from the start. very feel good tune with an acoustic chorus and then young funk flow lyrics. if you some how haven't heard of them - here are a few videos!

BREAKING THE BOUNDARIES THROUGH COMEDY

2010-01-25T18:28:00.000-05:00

if you find some of his material "r-rated" that's fine with me, but if you can't agree that this man did not just break all the racial and gender boundaries through laughter... i'll take on some arguments!

what is life without laughter?

2010-01-15T06:07:00.000-05:00

it's a brand new year but today stayed the same
a new decade even and still nothings changed
i would like to blame it on myself as i tend to do
when i can't find a flashlight to shine blame on you

then again i am an american raised to protect and to serve
which forces me to ask if i got to go on leave
if i got the chance to just observe
is falling into love still a feeling of heaven on earth?

then, sometimes miss. apple hits it too close, too often.

here i go i know i'm lame but babe i've changed...

2009-12-19T17:10:00.001-05:00

i'm going to see joe driscoll tonight, truth - she's an influence of his. i think any male that can openly admit he likes ani alone, is pretty sweet.

you want a perfect girl, and i look shitty today.

2009-12-19T12:11:00.000-05:00

today i woke up with this song STUCK in my head. not so good for a girls ego to on repeat! jeez!

since i had too much going on to show at funk n' waffles, i'm thinking about having a smaller more "relaxed" t's funky fresh + t. jewelry party perhaps? or maybe even an after holiday party? hm, any ideas / interest?

t.

it's a race!

2009-12-15T20:10:00.000-05:00

where is the start to something with no beginning or an end
without a start how can you possibly backtrack
try and fix what needs fixing
a problem without a beginning
since when did they add all these extras to the cast
i can't keep up with the character list
much less reality
sometimes i believe lies like i don't know adults could be wrong
i really want to believe in something
anything
anyone
from a start
to a finish

it's almost another new year, it's time to make some resolutions! starting this "blog" is one of them. i often get complements from people on my ability to be be who i am, and comfortable with it. or that i don't care that i'm different... which honestly somehow i don't know if that's good or bad? haha. one thing i do know is having the chance to work with UpstateLIVE music guide has helped me a great deal to get people to give what i have to say and/or in most cases mostly play - haha, a chance.
since then i have had musicians who i myself have looked up to, for years locally have become friends of mine and actually thanked me for helping to spread "the word." the word - is many. it's music, art, rants, raves, reviews, and ever changing. why i myself spend hours a day trying to keep up! for those of you who had/have/i hope to enjoyed my t-funkin' i hope this can soon be something even bigger!
for now enjoy the playlist below and i'll be ba-ack!
lovin'!
