...and my heart still pumps human blood

A long week and a great ending to it all. It is so great being back around the people that care for me so much. I have so much confidence in the community in cru and the true friends I have. When people are calling you at 130a while you're doing hw just to make sure that you are doing ok it really takes you back. Do I really have this tight community? I can trust my friends to tell me whenever I am being a jerk. I can trust my friends to really open up and be real with me when they are hurting.

I have a challenge for those reading this; how well do your friends know you? Is there something that they don't know...something that is placed in the darkest corners of your heart? Does it scare you to think of their reaction when you tell them how dark your feelings are sometimes? It is tempting for me to just bottle myself up sometimes, and when I do, I reak of stale events and broken emotion. There is so much freedom in sharing your life with your friends. For my dudes, I am not talking about some girl. I am talking about being real and emotionally naked in front of people. Is there a person you could call right now if you felt totally alone that would validate your feelings and affirm you as a man (or woman)? Who would they be?

Just some things I was thinking about. My summer was aching for these type of relationships with my dudes. I am so happy to be back.

Much Love,

UPDATED 2021! Free your Freegal Music - Freegal App to iTunes [Your Music or MP3 Player]

UDPATE 1/21 OK - well, out of more responsibility  I had to figure out a legal  way to put mp3's on my son's simple mp3 player he got for Christmas this year (it's a $30 one from amazon...) Advertised as a kid-friendly player, I knew the features included a 'drag and drop' feature for mp3's.   Now that Apple has gone the way of 'music' the instructions below (original post!) are basically ancient history, but I'll leave them here for anyone who might want to refer to them. New instructions for 'freeing your freegal' music are as follows. First, I am assuming that you are using an app on a mobile device to 'download' the music to that device. 1. download music (3-7 songs a week for most folks on Freegal) to your mobile device. 2. connect your mobile device to a real computer  (sits on a desk or your lap, you know). 3. open up Finder or Open Device (depends on your platform) 4. find "Files" (on iPhone) 5. find the Freegal app

Brandon Hampton - Perfected in Love Chords

Image
Hi there. A great guitar teacher told me that the best way to improve "play by ear" (or ear training) was to transcribe songs.  So, that is what I've been practicing.   When I find a song I like that isn't really out there on the interwebs, I like to share my work in transcribing. Here's Mr. Brandon Hampton's song "Perfected in Love" As with many IHOP-community songs, there's the 4 tags at the end at your disposal...make sure to develop your own.  Same chords repeated. P.S. - Brandon, thanks for leading from electric.  Me gusta. Perfected In Love Brandon Hampton Key: B (figure out the melody played on guitar... it’s not too tough...  hint: B major scale, begin on F#) intro E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m E - F# - G#m - B Oh...oh...oh... verse E - F# - G#m Surely goodness E - F# - G#m And mercy follow me E - F# - G#m - B All the days of my life E - F# - G#m Before
