[dancingdoraXO]

my mom used to sing this song to me when i was little:'] it brings back so many memories and the fact that you're singing it makes it ten times better:D

[rickydickypants]

aw. your mom has great taste! :) i hope you've been wearing that adorable richard cortez shirt you made! let me know if you have any song requests or ideas about the songblog - i'm all ears. :) i think i'll adopt you as my gay son - i've already adopted matthew lush, i think he needs a brother.

[dancingdoraXO]

duh i wear the shirt, its my fav. and yeah a couple of of my friends said they love your music:) haha i would LOVE to get adopted by you:D you can be my gay daddy. lmao. i've always wanted a brother:) but yeah ooo i really like that song "Good Riddance" (time of your life) by Green Day:] that would be awesome if you covered that song:)

[Dusterz]

Things are looking up for you, Cortez. You sound freer than ever and I hope you never never stop persevering. You're a star, Dicky.

[rickydickypants]

it's funny you use the word free - i am feeling free as of lately. nothing to tie me down, less stress and my work is truly starting to take a shape. i'm really excited about sleeping with strangers. really really really excited. :) i'm glad you picked up on that. so call me, asshole.

This song blog has gotten better and better with each post. The sunlight from the nearby window, the genuine grin, and the choice of material are balloons tied to your lawn chair. You just get higher and higher and you're not even stoned and alone. You're clear and bubbling with creativity and your music and image are blossoming as a result. Seeing you do things like this, even if they aren't original works, makes your archival potential seem much greater.
