writing, music and all things my opinion

this is going to be hard to do, and it will be a long list of songs that either remind me of cody, songs he sang, or songs dedicated to him, so I'll just get right into it. 1) wish you were here by pink floyd this was Cody's and my song, officially. we didn't live close to each other and we didn't drive yet so we didn't get to hang out in person. Cody decided this was our song and he would play his guitar and sing it. 2) glycerine by bush cody played this song probably more than any other, and I would get so sick of hearing it because he played it so much, I would like to hear him play it again. 3) I walk the line by Johnny Cash Cody used to sing this all the time, he could really sound just like Johnny 4) miss you love by silverchair Cody probably sounded most like Daniel Johns naturally, more than any other singer. every time I hear silverchair I think of him. the weird thing about this song is that I listened to it about 2 months before he passe...

Jesus said,in matthew 5:14-16 " 14  Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15  Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." then in matthew He says, in matthew 6:1-6 " 6  Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2  Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3  But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4  That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly....

as a person who writes, I have conflicting opinions about covers. Some people say that people who do covers just can't write themselves, that isn't necessarily true. For one, it takes more time to write a song than to sing one that already exists. Another thing is that a lot of people we hear on the radio aren't singing songs that they wrote to begin with. While I agree that a full "cover band" or artist is not something I enjoy, some of the time there is a legitimate reason for a cover. If someone isn't successful yet and they want people to listen to them, they do covers because whether the "public" realizes it or not, they like listening to things they already know. People naturally just tend to like things that are familiar to them, it's rare for someone to prefer new songs consistently. I mean, every song is new at some point but they tend to hear it on the radio and each time they listen, it reaches a new level of "knowing" the so...

read this picture post first:   Let me tell you about what girls know about things that hurt Most guys don't turn a girl down that they don't want a relationship with, you know what they do? They pretend like they do want one, they know they don't. but tell you they do, they lie and say they love you and after doing everything they can to get a girl to fall in love with them, all at once they get sick of sleeping with you,  they stop answering texts and calls, but girls have to be "chill" and "cool"; after not hearing from the guy for a week, the guy that told you last week that he could see buying a house with you, you start to get frustrated and confused and angry but you try to fight it, and wait for a response, but none comes, so eventually you get sick of waiting and you don’t even care if he ends things, you just want him to tell you something so you have some closure, so you send a text telling him how you feel an...
