Thanks to everyone.
I'm not giving up. Sometimes it can get frustrating being around others and they make music and I make noise.
I know that everything comes with time, practice, and patience.  Sometimes I let the frustrations of the work day roll over into my music. I don't ever take the frustrations home with me, but sometimes one frustration will only add to another.
Maybe I'll take out the frustration on a couple of golf balls.

bonedaddy,
Originality, and a chance for a debate.
Excellent song.

Your poetry is a beautiful place.
You make us remember.
Some things forgotten by time, others forgotten by choice, but all forgotten.
You have the ability to make us sit back and think.

jets60,
You've sumed up a thousand years of music.
I think this song can inculded everyone and every genre.

Sometimes music helps me to remember.
Sometimes music helps me to forget.
Sometimes music helps me to express the way I feel.

Zurf,
Being married for twenty-years. I've only been married for three.
I don't know if this would be a good comparison, but your giutar is like your child.
There have been times when My wife and I have had to go on a trip that may last a day or it might last for several days, but I spend more time awake thinking/worring about our two and half year old (Racheal) that we couldn't take with us.

I guess it's kinda like having a small child in the house. You spend time nurturing it. You spend time taking care of it. You grow as it grows. You do the best you can. You spend time apart wondering and worring. While you're apart you want to hold your guitar. You could always go into a music store and play on something they've got, but it's not the same.

Has your wife gotten jealous of the guitar yet?
Did your wife ever get jealous of the time you spent with the kids and not her?
I've got a very jealous, insecure wife. I understand her reasons.

gitaardocphil,
I feel that people will often boast about one thing that they are good at to hide the things that they are bad at.
It's one thing to be proud of yourself and proud of your accomplishments, but it's another to take it and try and jamm it down others faces.
A little side nudging here and there is great among friends, but arrogance is ignorance.

As for me I was born in 1970.
I've met lots of people, but I've never done that autograph thing. What's a piece of paper with someone's name on it for. I know I've met a few people in my life, why do I need a signature to prove it. My grandfather, or other older people would show me a picture, ballcard, an autograph or something of that nature and tell me all about the people that they met. Like I would ever doubt them or something. I didn't live during the halocaust and I wasn't there when president Kennedy was shot. So for someone to tell me about their past or where they've been is a great thing.
I love to read about how some of the fellow chordie people have taken trips, about their lives, and their music. I don't need to see a piece of paper or a picture to believe. Just hearing the stories is like being there myself.
I've found a lot of people on this site that I can drop a personal e-mail to every now and again. Old Doll is great. I talked with her a little and she even sent me a song. Sometimes you can take but a moment and it's like the person you've just met has been a friend to talk with for years.
I've received a lot of help with a few simple questions. This by far is the best site I've found.

rockerchick,
Never use your age as an excuse. The man that created the Kentucky Fried Chicken restuarant chain had spend his life trying new ideas and only succeeded after he had retired.
If you want something bad enough, don't let your age or gender stop you.
Achievement is made through trial and error, and striving to never quit. If you want it bad enough, you'll get it. Maybe not as quick as you'ld like. Maybe not even in the methode that you thought it would come.
If you want it then achieve it, don't make excuses.
Not all words in songs are spelled the way they should be. Not all words are sang as they are written.
You could spend your life looking for words and never find them. You could spend your life looking for chords and never find them. Put your poetry in a book. Don't sit around pondering on just one thing.
As Ken wrote, he has had songs and chords for longer than you've been around. You've bogged down your mind.
Don't let other people sign in and out using your name. Let them get their own. When someone reads your posts, they want to know that they are talking to you. If you start letting others sign in and out on your name then it becomes misleading, and you'll find that others will become reluctant to respond to you.
You are a great poet rocker(Alanis Morissette)chick. Your poetry comes from within.
Words/chords will come, just give it time.
