The Name...
It was something like this...
I was working part time in a five-and-dime
My boss was Mr. McGee
He told me several times that he didn't like my kind
Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely
Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing
But different than the day before
That's when I saw her, Ooh, I saw her
She walked in through the out door, out door
She wore a "Raspberry Beret"
Music has always captured me and taken me to different places in my mind... in my imagination. Not all music! Only certain types of music. I'm into what I call 'Song Writers.' These are the artist that have purpose to their music. Lyrics... beats... guitar solo's are put in place for a reason. Sometimes tho, a clever mistake can create a whole new vibe to a track and become it's meaning... source... life.
Artist that I consider to be, "Song Writers" would include: Sting, Phil Collins, Hall & Oates, Brian McKnight, Alicia Keys, Corrine Bailey, Rob Thomas, India Arie, John Mayer and Sade... just to name a few.
The title, "Something Close to Nothing" really came into play during my younger...formative years. Simply... it describes me and all that I do...and don't do. What one person may see as a great thing I do... I just may think it's small... a comfort zone type of a task. Other times things I labor with passion may be observed as nothing at all. All-in-all... my musings of life from day to day at times look to be the same yet the journey in my mind is extraordinary different... at every moment.
I don't claim to be a great writer, speller, deep thinker or the like.... but I am on a journey to discover myself and share some of what's in this minuscule mind of mine along the way.
