   Here's the song about it ;) from the second album, Ignite The Sky:   
      
   9. Go For It   
      
   verse1   
   couldn't wait around any longer hopin' somethin'll happen   
   just watchin' the years go by   
   cause life's for livin' not for just so much more lazy nappin'   
   originality deserves a try   
   for a shot at the prize slipping further away   
   a last hope for success that it comes back to stay   
   what we've been missing so long once more with us every day   
   time to say   
      
   chorus1   
   I wanna live a life that's there for the taking   
   see just how far and high we really can go   
   on a path to get there of our very own making   
   like they did it so long ago   
   and everybody digging the show   
      
   verse2   
   there's no second chance to make a good first impression   
   each and every time   
   dedication must always be a deep obsession   
   'cause something less would seem like a crime   
   and there's so much to do but only if it's done right   
   to make it all the way through the darkness into the light   
   and make a difference profoundly as are day and night   
   as we set our sights   
      
   chorus2   
   on the way out of all the tiresome madness   
   and on to fresh ideas shiny and new   
   to get away from unimag'native sadness   
   and make an exciting debut   
   so many decades long overdue   
      
   bridge   
   and so anxiously hoped for by those who remember   
   for a blaze to start anew from a glowing ember   
      
   verse3   
   there's not much time left to embark upon this expedition   
   if we're to meet with success   
   and reverse the growing pattern of decomposition   
   for the state of the art to progress   
   back to where it should be and onward from there   
   to make history and be heard everywhere   
   the reward for taking the chance if we dare   
   take to the air!   
      
   chorus3   
   leave the ground and climb into the blue yonder   
   where everything is so much brighter and clear   
   delight in all of the magnificent wonder   
   of an awesomely amazing frontier   
      
   and be a part of the next revolution   
   light up a star with our name out in space   
   implement a long awaited solution   
   and fly in the establishment's face   
   til everything's again back in place   
      
   > the better places around here have live music.   
      
   I'm sure, but while people are eating?   
      
   > I've been in the back of restaurants, not as a worker, but rather due to   
   > having access there because I was working there as entertainment  ......   
   > know what's going on back there   
      
   I wonder why there was never a sitcom about that...maybe even too boring for   
   that ;)   
      
   > wife has a new phone, and she's enjoying trying different ring tones.   
      
   I want my own ring tones, not a Limited selection of canned ones - Star Trek   
   sounds come to mind, immediately ;)   
      
   > It's good to have a positive outlook.  Not that that will save you from   
   > some impending doom, but at least you won't see it coming.   
      
   Of course I'd see it coming, but that still doesn't stop me from trying.   
      
   > And if you do, you'll convince yourself that whatever it is isn't really   
   > that bad.   
      
   In order to convince myself of that, I'd have to Know I'll overcome the   
   problem, and so far, I'm still among the living because of that attitude -   
   it's not easy, it IS scary, but it's filled with Resolve and Determination!   
      
   > Wasn't it Franklin who said something like " better to expect the worse   
   > and be plesantly surprised when things don't turn out that bad " ?   
      
   I thought everyone who encounters that situation says something like that ;)   
      
   > The more you learn, the less you have in common with those who don't.   
      
   Or the converse, the more one doesn't learn, the less such a one has in   
   common with those who do?   
      
   > that's the position I'm moving to ... just walk away from the know it all,   
   > closed minded crowd.   
      
   I do that now - life is too short to Waste like that any longer!   
      
   > Saw a nice quote about this today, something like " Their minds are like   
   > cement. All mixed up and set like stone. "   
      
   And I say; if you  want to *try* to communicate with such types, you'll need   
   a hammer and chisel!   
      
   > Not every musician from our time were volume idiots, but a lot were.   
      
   And that's all it takes for a lot of Deafness, and even bigger volume   
   Idiots!   
      
   > Thankfully, most of them have too bad of hearing to be out competing for   
   > my gigs, because they can't hear well enough to still be working :-)   
      
   All I can say is I hope the Idiots are happy with what they've Stupidly done   
   to themselves.   
      
   > Selling socialism only works on the young, before they know enough to see   
   > thru it.   
      
   I've HATED such Tyranny as far back as I can remember!   
      
   > Exactly. Main stream media, and now most of the internet, is being used to   
   > control the masses.   
      
   At least online, for the most part anyway, one can still have an easier time   
   of digging up the truth, which is more difficult to suppress there than   
   elsewhere.   
      
   > Religion use to do that thru the churches, but the athiests ruined that.   
      
   The atheists understood that there were so few believers anyway, indicating   
   that the Enemy already succeeded there.   
      
   > Most people aren't religious now,   
      
   Sure they are, only now, instead of worshipping God, they worship Idols,   
   like 'government', more now than ever before.   
      
   > so goverenments need a new way to sway public opinion. They found "   
   > experts " and scientists as replacements for priests.   
      
   That's only part of their Tactics - DUMBING-DOWN and the resulting   
   NON-THINKING are the big ones!!!
