2 or 3 years ago i was staying at my grand ma's house in Toronto and i realized i didn't have my inhaler so i asked them to keep it outside. My grandma left and my aunt started smoking inside. I was in bed listening to music, I had a bad asthma attack, and she thought it was just a dream and ignored it. Eventually she got mad enough to tell me to shut up when she got in the room i was unconscious on the floor hardly breathing barely alive and rushed me to the hospital. (She didn't even call my parents, my friend john found out and told them). Anyway I was out for 3 days, john gets the idea to put on music and plays blind melon, and very slowly, I regained consciousness to the song change... and thats just one thing #heart#

I want to be able to live of making music, it's my passion and I want to get better at my instrument. The melon music is a great motivation for me to do that, and i need it cause not everyone is supporting me. Oh, it's already working I just wrote a song, lol, it sounds like Skinned. (not that I recorded it already, I don't play guitar that well, but it's in my head and it's sounds pretty cool, pretty Melon-like )

I got clean after October 95 for 2 years, got the Hello-Good-bye tattoo on October 21st 96 to remind myself I didn't want to go back to the way I was before. But as time passes through the years I lose alittle something. Sometimes you need some encouragement and B.M. is great for that. Shannon could write great lyrics that are sometimes you might think, he wrote this song just for me.

haha thanks for looking out barbara! he actually sent it to me in an e-mail as well. it looks damn good. i used to think about getting the words "life ain't so shitty" tatted really small like on my shoulder somewhere. but then when i think about having the word "shitty" permanently on my body required some more thinking . i guess it's more of the way you feel when when shannon sings it as opposed to just reading it with that song. like you can tell he's down, but he's reminding himself it's not all bad.
