Super Laser
About the laser article...
We invented rocks for throwing. Government has never used that on an innocent man. We invented Arrows. No Tribal Chief has ever used this on an innocent man. We invented bullets and guns. No leader has ever ordered an execution of an innocent man. We developed the Atom Bomb. No country has ever took the lives of innocent people. And today we celebrate the most powerful weapon ever developed since God made the Sun. Do you have any predictions about the future of the innocent man?

Idea
As I was cleaning today, I found it really interesting that I cannot buy “disposable socks” that fit over my hand. I found an old “short ankle” sock in my rag bag, put it on my hand, got it wet, added a little soap, and it worked real well in the corners, baseboards and picking up dog hair. I went and got another used old sock (clean of course), and dried up the area. I tossed them in the trash and was done.
Two ideas were born, that I would love to give to the universe. To the sock company, make and sell rags that are cheap, fit over the hand, and can be reusable. The hand sock rag should be identifiable enough not to aggravate the laundry person when he or she is sorting through the clean clothes.
How nice would the “hand sock rag” be for wiping a baby's butt and then tossing the rag after use? I would get some sock advertising for this item too, like a mini t-shirt print (Sponge Bob Hand Sock Rag, or Dallas Mavericks Hand Sock, multi color variety for fans in the stands).
Okay, and the other idea for the universe. Why not have the “Strong Paper Towel” industry go even stronger? They could manufacture a roll style paper towel like they do already, except it is a bit smaller, and it dispenses one of those “hand sock rags” I described earlier. Basically it would be a paper towel with a pocket. It would be like sewing two flat pieces of paper towels together, in a rudimentary sense. So, when I am cleaning (once every five years, hey... I'm a guy), I reach for the paper towel rack and pull off the pouch paper towel (call it “The Joey”).
Alright, someone take this idea and run with it. And please hurry, I have more cleaning to do! I could use a sponge that comes with Soft Scrub already on it, stick my hand in it, and clean the bathroom. The Sponge Glove has a “disposable plastic glove like” liner in it. 3 ideas today wow, so 1 more for an added bonus, the rubber glove that is furry or fuzzy (not feathery) on the outside. It is a disposable duster.
Okay, I am getting out of hand. :)
Peace Out, The Compusician
PS Ideas do better when they have a military application to them, so how about making what looks like a roll of paper towels, but it is like I describe above (Hand Rag Cleaner) AS WELL AS something a person could use immediately, and short term as a Dust Mask? Don't forget the advertising on the medium as well! This could pay for itself!

Free Vocals
Yes! That's right. You can get your free vocals from BL8ant over at:
www.ReverbNation.com/bl8ant.
The plan is to provide free song lyrics here, then the band BL8ant will turn them into vocal loops for other computer musician's to use.
Since vocals are the most difficult thing to create, as well as song lyrics, it is time singers and songwriters come together with musicians.
I believe if you LOVE what you do, then you will do well in life regardless of the money.

The Song
The Song: A New Start
The process is still ongoing. My aim is to put the words I would like to see in my song, onto paper. Some words will make the final cut, some will not. I like to have the song nearly finished, never finished completely, as I look at the words as malleable iron. The song must have “room” to take shape to the melody, and meaning. Sometimes I start out with the song to mean one thing, but through the hands of Angels, a new meaning develops. It is okay for me. I think we dream the same way. We visualize what we want, but what we get is near, never exact.
The more general you can make the song or point, the less personal meaning you will have, however the size of the audience can grow, It is a trade off. For example: I might say, “Dolly Parton has a big chest.” This is precise and specific. But to say, “Blond beauty has a healthy set of lungs,” leaves open interpretation, is more general and less specific which might be okay if you want to grow the size of the audience (now, Hank in Hanover can think the song is about his new girlfriend).
The words are there on the page, but the one thing you cannot put on paper is “feeling.” Feeling, or the “feel” of the song, comes from making a melody, and shaping the lyrics to fit that melody, and to have the melody fit the words. For the Chorus, I like to keep short, commercial, and “verbish.” It represents what the Verse is not. Just as musically I contrast the Verse from the Chorus, I can also do likewise with the Lyrics. The Verse will describe, while the Chorus is action (or vise-versa).
Okay, so I just want to let you know this about the song I am working on... so you don't think that “nothing” is happening. I am molding a melody to the lyrics. You know... it is much like a painter has a blank canvas, he then sets some rules and guides for what he wants to accomplish, and he visualizes the colors. Everything is there except an interpretation of the scene. Some artists like full control of the end result, while others leave it up to the gods; Picasso or Van Gogh? Both are great, but both are very different.
Like I said before, I will spend less time in the future analyzing song making, and just paint them. But I think it is important that every artist share some of his or her “how to.” It's not about making money, but helping other's release what is inside their mind, and releasing it onto a medium, so the world can see inside the mind of your imagination.
The blank canvas will never look exactly the same when people put their imagination to it. Imagination is never “normal” because never are two imaginations exactly the same. I like this one saying, “I want to be different, just like everyone else.”
Peace Out, The Compusician
PS By the way, I do not have any audience to my words or what I am doing that I know of at this point in time. However, I do not let this stop me. I have a mission inside of me, and that mission may never be realized until long after I am gone. When we climb the mountain, and then stand on the mountain top, to others the beauty is the picture I took while standing at the top of the mountain. But for a true artist, actor, athlete or business professional, the personal journey is where the real beauty rests. And that is hard to take a snapshot of, heh? And no one else really cares these days in an “end result” society.

A New Start
This song I'm writing, "A New Start," needs more behind it than just an explanation of how I think a new beginning has an effect on life. Proverbs, Wisdom Sayings, Provocative Thoughts, Quotes are a good way to add some spice to the song.
I have a saying I made up, and I'm sure the thought line has been done before, it is in my own words.
"When someone tells you, "It can't be done.", they are really saying, "The World is waiting for you to do it." It is with this spirit that the Wright Brothers could "fly". It is with this spirit that man went to the moon. It was with this spirit a Black Man became President of the USA.
"When someone tells you it cannot be done, they are really saying that the World is waiting for you to do it." - The Compusician
And that will be the focus point of my song. Every line must refer to this point in some way or another. The thesis line is, "A New Start." The point is as stated above.
I will add this to my sheet, and be back with some progress with this song (musical adventure).

Songwriting Compusician Style
Genesis 1:6-8 (New International Version)
6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
-----------------------
Will there be a tomorrow?
Will there be another day?
Why the great expanse?
Who was God doing this for?
When did this all happen?
What was the goal or even purpose?
Where did this event occur?
What was the event?
Will there be more?
How was it done?
How will this effect the future?
-----------------------------------------
A New Start
A new start, beginning, Aspiration, Adventure, And it was so
Night from day, water from water, separation, Nine lives
Embark, Excitement
Waste not valuable experience, time, Water
Secure another chance, Separation, Sky
Throw away the bad, The second day, The great expanse
Adventure
Relax and move on,
Take opportunity, Take in the creation by division by God
Notes: I used BibleGateWay.com for the Bible reference. I am developing a writing style that is fun and challenging for me. When I'm in the truck, I need something that is easy. I feel that a song is never finished until the actual music is scored and hammered out. And even then, I think change is acceptable. Therefore, a song is never finished, in my eyes.
I will be back later with more to this song. It is an experiment. I love critics, co writers, and comments.
This song is free, and you can use the lyrics, change them or adjust them anyway you wish for your own music. I am sure you will pay it forward to some other person in some manner to help make this world a better place.
I will take this copy of the song and take it out on the truck with me and answer the questions. Later I will pick one of my favorite songs (Born to be Wild is one), and fit the words to that song. Then I will use Verse Perfect (might still be available at: http://www.bryantmcgill.com/free_rhyming_dictionary/ ).
Another program I use is Rhymesaurus: ( http://purpleroom.com/ ). These two items will give me additional ideas for words to use in my song.
Notice as part of my style, I start each line with the associated letter in the title. It just challenges me, and in a way I think it hands part of my song over to higher powers to come up with something.
“A New Start”, I use the letters to start each new line: A, N, E, W, S, T, A, R, T. Then from there I take my song back from the gods (or God, maybe), and put my twist on it.
I will try hard to remain positive in all my music. While it is true I'm writing Christian songs, I'm not limiting myself in anyway. This will be the only place in this blog where I fully explain how my music lyrics are made. I share this with you because it may be what you need, or have been looking for to help you in your own adventure.

Too many times artists “keep secrets” so no one can steal their ideas. What I have learned in life is that most people will not care how I write lyrics, or will ever have an interest in doing it the same way. When I share my thoughts, I learn far more than I ever gave.
To teach is to learn.
And that is all about this part of: How to write a song. I hope this helps you in making computer music. Lyrics and singing are the hardest part of making a song.
Peace Out, The Compusician

My Bible Chapter 0005
Genesis 1:6 through Genesis 1:8
And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning – the second day.
---------
Commentary and what I've learned today:
Before I consult my study guide, let me say what I think about this passage. It would seem to me that the Bible speaks in general terms. It would seem to me that more would need to be done in the beginning than just separating the water from the water. I know there is a few more days to come, but life seems so much more complex than making a few things happen. That is why I believe, at this point the Bible is speaking in general terms. Let's see what the study bible says for this chapter.
Well, the Study Bible speaks generally also, just that God has created a place comfortable for man.
-------
I am writing the Bible out (word for word) for my own use to try to better understand it. I welcome comments, as this is a learning adventure. The Bible I am reading will put everything into chronological order and offer some studies on the entries. My mind is open and I realize that everyone, including myself, has a different perspective, as well as a different base from which to learn and teach. My initial goal is to enhance my music, and to fulfill a goal to have read the Bible in my lifetime.
