Just me. Just songs.
I was born with an undiagnosable brain dysfunction, having seizures, and with blue skin dur to oxygen deprivation. I would spend much of my youth on strong, mind-altering medication, I would ultimately end up being declared fully disabled on psychiatric grounds, and I've had to be committed to five different psychiatric facilities in three different states. These days, the primary thrust of my overall creative efforts is the advocacy work that I seek to do for the mentally ill and the mentally disabled. These are my songs.

Story behind the song
...because sometimes the best thing that you can do for yourself is to simply stand up and walk away from the screen - and I do love Rockabilly :-)
Lyrics
(I’m) Going Offline Verse 1: The screen stares at me I feel it’s glare I’ve surfed the whole world From my chair My tired heart aches To see the sky To feel the breeze To go outside Pre-Chorus: I’m so weary….I need to rest I’m going offline…I think that’s best Chorus: I’m going offline To unwind I’m going offline What will I find Who’ll be there What will I see I’m going offline Life’s waiting for me Verse 2: I can feel the ‘Net It’s flow and ebb I’ve spent so much time On the web I’ve been here so long I’m such a wreck It’s time to log off And disconnect Pre-Chorus: I’m so weary….I need to rest I’m going offline…I think that’s best Chorus: I’m going offline To unwind I’m going offline What will I find Who’ll be there What will I see I’m going offline Life’s waiting for me Bridge: I’ll miss out on so much But I no longer care I’m going offline Maybe I’ll see you there Chorus: I’m going offline To unwind I’m going offline What will I find Who’ll be there What will I see I’m going offline Life’s waiting for me Outro: I’m so weary….I need to rest I’m going offline…I think that’s best Lyrics: Ray Bertram, Tom Solanto Production/Vocals: Tome Solanto (I’m) Going Offline (c) 2009 W.
