\"It's<\/p>\n

I’m writing today’s post backwards.<\/p>\n

So, you’ll have to wait a little while until I can ammend this post with some… uh… content.<\/p>\n

Ah… I’m back.<\/p>\n

There will be some reading this who will question my understanding of the basic precepts and conventions of the blog form. To them I say:<\/p>\n

Conventions are for Shriners.<\/p>\n

Actually, it was just that I hit the SUBMIT<\/span> button by mistake — and the robots who act as majordomos to the blogosphere’s infrastructure get downright hissy when you ping them and then there’s no blog there when they trundle over to see what you got.<\/p>\n

So I ended up for a few minutes with nothing much but a picture and some links to today’s song (as well as a link to the arguably superior earlier version).<\/p>\n

Now… you may say… how is that really<\/span> different from — hey, don’t<\/span> hit that backbutton yet… oops. Too late. Everyone else, maybe I just ought to direct you to today’s song (with a quick sidenote to my fellow podcasters and musicians).<\/p>\n

PRODUCTION NOTE: Once again, I used my new 80 dollar Samson C01U USB microphone to record the day’s track. (This time Iused the software EQ, reverb, and compression tools I normally use. Or misuse, as the case may be.) I mention this only because I waited for months for someone to buy and report on the quality and effectiveness of this mic, in vain. You can take a look at yesterday’s post<\/a> which is more or less devoted to the subject.<\/p>\n\nhttp:\/\/www.archive.org\/download\/Its_Only_Been_a_Million_Years\/20060210_Only_Been_a_Million_Yearsv2c01u.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

It’s Only Been a Million Years<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

One day you’ll wake up
\nand figure out I’ve gone
\nOnly thing surprising
\ntook so damn long<\/p>\n

It’s only been a million years
\nsince I had a dream
\nIt’s only been forever
\nsince I felt a thing<\/p>\n

One day I love you
\nnext day I don’t
\nHard to believe
\nYou didn’t know<\/p>\n

It only takes an instant
\nfor the hottest flame to die
\nit only takes forever
\nto spend your life wondering why<\/p>\n

It’s only been a million years
\nsince I had a dream
\nIt’s only been forever
\nsince I felt a thing<\/p>\n
