What came first, the chicken or the egg?
jcdiy asked: Colin --
Have you had any formal vocal lessons or other musical training?
Also, Lady Gaga's already sweating. I can feel it!

Okay, so I...
Can you folks do me a favor?
It would make me ever so happy if you’d recommend me for the musicians directory on tumblr! I’ll pay you back by writing a song about all of you.
Just a few photos

So, this is my friend Jake. He’s in India. And he’s a good writer. Follow him or I’ll put a curse on you.

FINALLY registered with the U.S. copyright office.
Which means all of my poetry, songs, and lyrics are now protected. I didn’t do it because “omg my music is so awesome errybody gonna want it” — I did it because “oh my god, people are untrustworthy, better be safe”, know what I mean?

I’m horrible, helpless, incredible, quick to question hesitant to guess a quaking contradiction
sometimes I feel my knees crumble and I want to collapse in my footsteps surrender to the universe grab that bottle drag a cigarette down with me let the ashes fall wherever they will wherever they do and give in to raw intensity; when everything’s distorted elbow perched on a table fixated...
My goddamn left headphone is blown.
It doesn’t bother me that much, but it is slightly annoying. I was just overwhelmed with a set of very portentous revelations tonight, and I feel better in general about everything that is happening right now in my life. Or, at least, everything doesn’t seem as hopeless as it did before. I’d try to elaborate on these revelations, but I think in doing so I’d not only make...
It just hit me.
Oh my god. Why did it just hit me? I understand now. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt sad relief, but it’s better than no relief, I guess.
Pete Seeger & The Almanac Singers - I...
I will never become acquainted with the twenty-something romantic lifestyle. Not only am I horrible at it, but I hate it. We deny ourselves of our feelings when they’re there and blow them out of proportion when they aren’t. Say you really, really like someone quickly and you want to be with them — the proper protocol is to pretend as if you don’t and to keep your options...
hughbott asked: Do you listen to much Townes Van Zandt?
lyrics I never put music to (11/4/08):
everything’s so bitter here and home ain’t in the heart to settle was my mission here but I was failing from the start I’ve explored every hillside every canyon, every road but all my senses tell me I’ve all I need to go
I read about Philemon and Paul, and the slave sometimes I think I’m like him and I won’t settle ‘til my grave but the river is wide and...
What is this, myspace?
Folks, I can’t tell you what’s more annoying than when I’m listening to a good song and click on one of your blogs only to be blasted with music against my will. Listen, I don’t care how good your taste in music is — I don’t want to hear it when I’m listening to something else already. Please turn off the automatic play on your streampads. If you’re...
I wish I had a pedal steel.
And a mellow drumset. And a decent bass guitar. And maybe a vintage Casino. I would write so many folk rock ballads.
See, the thing is, even though I drive a late-model Japanese car, even though I spend an inordinate amount of time on my laptop, and even though sometimes I feel like listening to drum ‘n’ bass — I feel a little like a country boy at heart. I like wearing boots...
So, apparently it's already spring in Ohio.
I’m not complaining.
maybe sometimes my roots are strung too tight dug too deep or just too dirty. I’m an old car grown into my surroundings.
there are days when the branches are bare done with the transition into winter death, over and over again how many more can it withstand before it crumbles?
and the many summers swelter. I’m a black ivory key lined up between brazen cheer I sit on a toppled log,...
jcdiy asked: I just wanted to let you know my Christmas tree is also still up. You're not alone in this.
deltafoxtrot asked: 1. did you put a questions link on your Tumblr? ( I haven't looked yet).. I did but then changed my theme and it went away- too lazy to add it again, maybe tonight.
2. do you know of a way we can track questions we asked our fellow Tumblrs? I asked a few questions and have to kinda search around on the dashboard to see if they answered it.

Questions, please. →
millienand1 asked: what do you like and hate about tumblr?
hughbott asked: Is the X-mas tree still up? I think that thing can become an internet celebrity. The longer you keep it up the more famous it gets.
As more and more times goes by,
I think about being on the road more and more. Alone. I don’t know what it is that draws me to it, but I keep daydreaming about it and trying to induce the nostalgia I have surrounding it. There’s just something so alluring about it. I’ve been on the road during some pretty tumultuous periods of my life, and for some reason the road always acts as sort of a calming agent. It...

Players and Haters
Should from now on be referred to as “Connivers” and “Despisers”, I think.
Don’t despise the conniver, despise the recreational proceeding that you are both taking part in.
Or something like that. I just woke up, don’t despise!
Colin Weaver - Because I Want You
well I brave...
I am wearing long johns, 2 long sleeve shirts, jeans, a hoodie, 2 pairs of socks, boots, and a thick peacoat. And I’m still cold.
2 minutes
late at night, after dark the newspaper van creeps by paper hits concrete and I, I am so exhausted, cyclothemic my head hits the ceiling and after death experiences over and over again, happen with the consistency of constant sorrow am I a man of?
no. I just like to fiddle with pens and paper and wear headphones with necessity and hypomanic I hear so many voices and scribble down how I hear them...
Looking to start a serious, original band......
So, my name’s Colin, I’m a 20 year old singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist, and I want to start a serious, original band. It’s hard to explain exactly what kind of music I want to play, but I’ll try — it’d probably be a cross between indie-rock, folk-rock, bass-heavy blues-infused rock, 60’s garage rock, traditional(ish) folk, pop, and just plain...
