Unchanged Melody - Kenny G (43)

Unchanged Melody

I have no snare in my head phones.

I oftentimes use that as a segway into serious conversations because Marshall Mathers did it. Kind of ironic because for the most part it makes the other person less likely to take me seriously. Apparently they don't like Eminem as much as I do....Fuck it. Shut up and listen.

I had an epiphany last night. I had a threesome of sorts with Jack Daniels and Dave Matthews and I've recognized the folly of my ways. It takes a strong man to admit when he is wrong. I am wrong. Dave Matthews Band is good. A wise person once told me that "hate" is just love disappointed and this appears to fit perfectly here. For years I've slandered DMB as an untalented piece of shit band with a god awful annoying sound. The further down the bottle of Jack D I went, however, the more I realized the parallels between Dave and I. Dave's just a guy trying to connect with people. He writes songs to do this. I write blogs.

This blog is about change. There is no time like the present to change. I've never fallen for the New Year's Resolution gimmick and I've never given anything up for Lent because religion is silly. But when I set my mind to things I tend to follow through. So to make up for the last 25 years of not playing along, these are my resolutions/changes to accomplish by the 1st of april, 2013.
