Stupid 9/20 Update
By Joy Lynn Clark 6/15/2023 I’ve been working on this one for the past couple of weeks. I thought about calling this song, “Users” but I don’t like to be used. 6/25/23- I Almost forgot to mention, that I recorded this in my apartment. My home studio receives signals from a nearby airport, the bus stop, and a police station. The signal interference is massive however, all of the voices in the song are in fact mine. Those frequencies affect my DAW (Digital audio workstation). I also was super self-conscious about my hair so I decided on this look with my natural color. As far as the song, I shortened…

Dating This Guy is Not Working
March 27, 2023 By Joy Lynn Clark I have been online dating since it was invented. In my last post, (dating in the digital age) I’ve posted lots of tips for the online dating scene. Recently, I decided to try online dating again since I have been depressingly single. I meant another guy and he was cool. OK here comes the McMillan-esque getting-your-groove-back-part, he was younger. Not in age, I don’t think, but in lifestyle. I didn’t mind that he didn’t have a car or his own place. This guy has a full-time job so there’s plenty of money left to take me on dates (even with student loans ).…

Denominations – 12/27/24 Update
Joy Lynn Clark BMI 02/10/2023 I decided to combine Denominations and Don’t Turn Me Off. It sounds pretty cool. I delivered it to another track that I rearranged. It still needs mastering but it is aiigt to listen to. Man gon’ need some denominations Lets have sex on a boat Tied to the dock with a rope Or set sail and take a cruise Or we could f*&k in the sun And check out the views And watch you count them denominations And I might just jump off And we could probably stay out And float around I’m just a drop in the lake You can give and I’ll take…

Safer Sex
By Joy Lynn Clark 1/26/2023 I came up during the, “safe sex” era. “Wear a condom” and, “stop the spread of HIV/AIDS”. Unprotected sex freaks me out. I am a single mother and I have been burnt before. Ever since, I have vowed to never go through that kind of stress again. The times that I did go raw dog and it didn’t work out, I worried all year long as I returned to the clinic for my pregnancy test and then HIV test. Then six to eight months later I return for another HIV test just to be sure. I got lucky this time. Sex is safer now then it ever has been. However, condoms cannot stop…

Looking for a contract
By Joy Lynn Clark August 18, 2022 Tez eventually caught some misdemeanor in another state. I didn’t know much about his status. What I did know was that he was locked up a short period of time followed by house arrest. Although I tried to sound positive when I heard the news, I figured that we were pretty much done for the moment. I was pissed because this project was underway. In the meantime, Shystie and I were pretty much on our own. I was doing the nightclub promo but it didn’t pay much. So I looked for work again. I need a day job! I was willing to just…
