Cynical
by Extreme

Today don't look so bad,

Compared to tomorrow.
If time is all we have,

Then we're living on borrowed.
Yesterday's for fools who try to remember.
The good old days weren't always that much better.

Cynical.
Well, I ain't nothing but a Cynical.
It don't take much to be a Cynical.
All you need is love.
All you need is what to be a...

And whatever you do,

Someone's done it first.
Though it's sad but true,

This is just another verse.
If you can't take it with you, then what's the use?
I never saw a you-haul being pulled behind a hearse.

Looks like my brighter side has gotten a bit darker.
I must have stepped over my 4-leaf clover.
'cause someone drank my half-filled cup of water.

Ahh, what might have been....

Remember when Van Halen made records? Waaaay back in 1997, when they did their one, and only, album with Gary Cherone? I know I'm probably the only one, but I loved that lineup. The Album had problems, but I think there was so much potential.

The tour was amazing...one of the best shows I've ever seen. A highlight was the version of "Mean Streets" VH did with Cherone. I love that song, and I loved the way Gary sang it.

Well, Cherone is back with his original band, Extreme, now, but "Mean Streets" is back too...



Love that video. Apparently, they recorded a DVD at their Boston gig. Hopefully this song will be included.

You know as soon as you write something like I did yesterday....

The crisis of confidence will hit, and you'll go back on everything you've put up as "common sense" advice.

Yeah, the callback tomorrow has me a little worried.

Not "quaking in my boots" worried, or anything. I'm fairly certain I won't make a total ass out of myself. That being said, they sure picked a hell of a scene. Juuuust a little bit difficult. Not that I don't understand, completely, it's exactly what I would've asked guys after this role to do. You don't want to throw softballs.

Lot more confident about the one on Sunday. I'm feeling good, and strong, about stepping into those shoes.

I also have another audition on Sunday, where they want me to play guitar, and, frankly, I just can't really drum up much interest. I kinda just want to blow it off. Probably won't, but....hmmm...

Yet again, I'm looking at a weekend overflowing with places to be and commitments. I'd LOVE to have a free weekend, at some point.

I also just realized that the Ratt/Extreme show I wanted to go see at the House of Blues is tonight...Well, missed that one.
