New Song: Hot Geek Girlfriend

My wife and I took a trip over the Thanksgiving holiday and I told myself before we left that I was going to do TONS of writing.

Well...that didn't really work out. I did a little, mainly just jotting down ideas on random pieces of paper. My one solid writing accomplishment for the trip was a new song. If you've checked it out before today, you may have noticed that the "My Songs" page of this blog only had one song on it. It should have been called "My Song". BUT NO MORE! Now there are 2. They are truly plural.

I want to give a huge shout out to John Anealio who's awesomely geeky songwriting inspired me (I especially love this one). Be sure to check him out.

And as long as I'm doing shout outs, be sure to check out Ms. Sicoe's inspiring post about unrealistic expectations and insecurity. Inspiring!

Ok, now for the song:

Hot Geek Girlfriend

We met at a con

I was dressed as Aragorn

She said she’s always be my Arwen

Cosplays as 7 of 9

Her skin tight jumpsuit looks so fine

I will never be alone again

Oh no she’s ain’t no booth babe

Here just to hock some new game

She’s a nerd like me

Just much better looking

She’s my hot geek girlfriend

She speaks fluent Klingon

And quotes Monty Python

George R.R. Martin poster on her wall

She knows that Hon shot first

And the new Star Wars are the worst

Was no doubt it’d be for her I’d fall

Oh no she’s ain’t a noob

WOW Pally level 82

She’s a nerd like me

Just much better looking

She’s my hot geek girlfriend

Someday we’ll tie the knot

Dressed like Uhura and Mr. Spock

Have little Ewok kids

We’ll never hit the skids

She’s a nerd like me

Just much better looking

She’s my hot geek girlfriend

She’s my hot geek girlfriend

Thanksgiving Teaser

This post is like one of those commercials for the local news:

"What common household appliance is plotting to kidnap your kids sell them as dog food? We'll give you details at eleven."

My guess is the blender. I've never trusted that thing. But I'll be damned if I'm staying up until 11pm to find out. My fictional kids are on their own.

Anyway, I know I've been slacking with my blog a little but I have some VERY COOL stuff coming up including:

• A guest post from that gentleman among writers, the incomparable Jeff Hargett!
• A new song!
• A new version of an old song!
• An announcement detailing how/when/where one of my stories is being published!
• An interview with Ryan Gosling!

Ok, that last one might be a stretch. I'm just curious to see how many hits this post gets because it has the words "Ryan Gosling" and "interview". Hell, let's just throw in "sex tape" to really up the ante. If you got to this blog via a google search using those words, feel free to leave me a comment telling me that I'm nothing but a dirty tease.

For the rest of you...more details at eleven.

My Zombie Song

I dabble in song writing. If I feel inspired to write a song, its' usually because I've woken up with most of a fully formed song in my head and unless I get it down on paper ASAP, it will drive me insane.

I'm also learning to play guitar which, amazingly enough,  can be a good accompaniment to song writing. The thing is, I often have to prioritize among my many hobbies and more often than not, when I have to decide what to devote time to, writing wins.

So, since I'm not using the songs I write, I want others to. Take a look at my song page and see what you think. If you happen to be musically inclined and feel inspired to try one of them out, you have my permission to do so as long as you do 3 things:

1. Give me credit for writing the song
2. Tell me your using the song
3. Send me an mp3, video, vhs, dvd, chalk drawing, etc, of you playing the song so that I can have the satisfaction of knowing that something I've created has spread it's wings and fledged.

FLY LITTLE SONGS, FLY!!!
