Blue October – Hate Me

If you’ve never heard of Blue October or seen them in concert you’re missing out. This band is originally from Houston and they have a huge following in Texas. I’ve been to maybe 5 Blue October concerts and they have all been great.

Now, this song could have two interpretations. One of a son who’s given his mom a heal of a time and now regrets all the trouble he has caused. The other could be of a girlfriend who was mistreated along the way.

Either way, great song, lots of meaning.

If you’re sleeping, are you dreaming, if you’re dreaming are you dreaming of me? I can’t believe you actually miss me…

Hi Justin! This is your mother it is 2:33 on Monday afternoon. I was just calling to see how you were doing. You sounded really uptight last night, it made me a little nervous, and a little, well it made me nervous, but it sounded like you were nervous too. I just want to make sure you are really okay and wanted to see if you were checking in on your medication too. You know I love ya. Take care honey, I know you’re under a lot of pressure. See ya. Bye Bye!

I have to block out thoughts of you, so i don’t loose my head
They crawl in like a *censored*roach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There’s a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you, Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face
And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

I’m sober now for 3 whole months, it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing that I won’t touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so *censored*ing far away that I’ll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I have made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling make it go away,
Just make her smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered "How can you do this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you

We are the champions, my friend.

So, as some of you know I play on a couple of soccer teams; three of them to be exact two men teams and a coed team. One of the men teams is made up by about half of my coworkers and half of friends from other teams. This team was first formed last season and we had a dismal year. We won a single game and that was via a forfeit. The usual outcomes were 10-1 or 9-0. It was painful.

We won a single game and that was via a forfeit. The usual outcomes were 10-1 or 9-0. It was painful.However, this season we had a 5-3-1 season and were able to win the championship last night. We started with only two subs and they had about eight. Also, one of our very strong attackers was not able to make it. So, things were not looking too good at first. However, we came out shooting and we scored the first one. Our defense, which is probably one of our weakest points, really stepped up and quickly identified their number one guy. He was not able to get much started with the middle and defense really playing body to body. Our goalie was having a monster game; however, by the end of the first half we were tied 2-2. The second half was much better, we controlled most of the game and they were getting frustrated and playing very physical and committing a lot of fouls. Final score 4-2 and the championship. It was amazing!

I’ve got soul but I’m not a soldier

So after 4 years RHCP will be releasing a new album, the first track Dani California sounds sweet and the video is hilarious. After 5 years or so TOOL will be releasing their next album 10,000 Days. I loved their last one and I’m pumped about this one. Finally, Pearl Jam will also be releasing an album, not sure how long it has been since their last one, but I think it has not been that long. Seems like we might have a good music year on our hands, because with new albums come tours!
