"Mr. Insecure "
- click for lyrics


I'm writing this in a food poison induced haze, so my apologies if there are sentence fragments, incomplete thoughts, or just general confusion.

I'm a pretty insecure person, but I'd like to think that I'm improving.  This manifests itself in a number of ways. Primarily I'm extremely critical of everything, jealous of other people's success, and scared to fail.  I've been noticing it more lately so what I set out to do was write some sort of sarcastic/happy kind of song to put my insecurities out there.  Turns out I don't write very happy music :) But its been a good process for me the past few months to really stop and think before I speak.  

Patrick tends to get the brunt of my negativity, which, when there's only two of you, makes for a non-creative, unpleasant environment.  So I'm glad I wrote/recorded it, if for nothing else than to expose my negativity and to put myself out on a proverbial limb.  Hope some of you cynics out there can enjoy it.

-T

p.s. When I sent this to Patrick there were only two lines that I really wanted to change, but they were actually his favorites. Kind of par for the course for us :)

One more thing...the artwork is great! It's like the EASY BUTTON on the Staples commercials. Wouldn't it be great (but way too easy...so maybe not-so-great) to push a "secure button"? Hum...interesting thought. Where could I get one of those?
