For Wednesday, August 17: Here I'm Home

My friend, Jason, tweeted the other day that this video and song were a must and far be it from me to not obey!  :)   I'm totally in the dark about Jeff Carl, so I'm super glad that Jason tweeted about him and his music.  He plays guitar and sings.  :)  Okay but he does really well!
Here I'm Home is one of the few songs Carl has out right now as he's still in the early stages of his career.  I love the idea behind the song and the lyrics really drive it home.  (Get it?  Home?  Haha.  Okay, yeah it was bad.)  ANYWAY. 
Here I'm Home talks about that bittersweet in-between place we all find ourselves in at least once in our lives.  I'm going to argue it happens more than once to the majority of humans but we'll go with once for now.  That in-between place is where you ask and explore the answers to questions like:
Who am I?
What am I meant to do?
Where am I headed? 
What will happen in my life? 
Etc, Etc. 
And as you figure these things out there's always a place you reside in (physical OR mental/emotional) and that place is always "home" for that time. 

Here I'm Home

    Jeff Carl is definitely in my head an up and coming artist. He has all of the things it takes to make it. Plus he has an awesome song about Lynch-Vegas I mean Lynchburg aka my old stompin grounds! Glad you listened/watched the video and liked it! I don't steer people wrong when it comes to music and food!

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
