See You Soon.
Leaving in 12 hours for the place that is always sunny and warm. Can’t wait for the blissful sunsets and the air that always seems to smell good, like a faint mixture of pine trees, sandalwood, and flowers. What a cosmic and dreamy place.

Are you coming? When? I know where this is.
sweet sparrow, why don’t I sing you a song??
Okay, so I’m not that tired yet, but.. looks like I’m back to reading some Sylvia Plath again. I’ve missed her honesty and humor quite a bit. Nerd.I was introduced to her by my gf and I’ve recently read a few poems of her. I adore ‘Parliament Field Hills’ and some others of her work. I find it to be fascinating and morose all in one at times.
Its Never Too Early To Stop Being An Adult.
This is really in dedication to my friend Ashley.
A Band that she introduced me to about four years ago. maybe three. but yeah, I asked her about some new music and this was one of the bands she recommended. at the time, they didn’t have much on their myspace page and were still unsigned before then but now, they’ve started to make a go of it.
this video serves two things.
first it was shot in San Francisco.
second its a great song. the website, la blogotheque has become my favorite music videos website in the past two years. each time Vincent Moon comes up with a new video, I eagerly watch it. something about the impromtu style gets to me.
my dear friend cailin knows the man. maybe the next video he shoots soon will be my bands.
speaking of, we’ve got the ball rolling. a drummer is coming along and now we explore the new material. I’ve written four new songs for the next session. Joe has contributed two more.
the one I’m most proud of is a little ryan adams inspired mixed with Athlete and Wilco diddy that I am starting to really like.
melodic in a core sense, its a song I wrote to try and break the mold of what my band has term ‘obviously, it has your style.’ we’re getting ready to record some stuff soon. posting too.
btw, Ashley, I’m glad you got the card and cd. its been unusually warm in CA lately but rain is soon to follow. we need rain. I love you rain.
so here we are.
the one photo I could get of us performing at that house party on new years. we apparently according to the reviews ‘rocked the house’ and were ‘amazing’ and ‘didn’t suck, which was good.’ I like the last review the best.
all in all, the party went off without a hitch and the band played well. the only thing that bothered me was the crowd kept touching me turning the show. its a bit difficult to perform when people are rubbing up agaisnt you and trying to dance with you while you’re playing but we made due. I was a little too drunk to remember most of the performance and that irked my bandmates that instilled a sober rule while playing and performing. but I apparently didn’t mess up once. so. yeah, I was okay.
anyways. I’m sorry to those about saturday. I blacked out. literally. I don’t remember much of the nite expect that most people thought I had died on saturday. which could technically be true. since apparently the last moment people saw of me was standing up and then apparently my eyes rolling back in my head and me collasping and going limp without a pulse.
I shouldn’t have drank that much. but I had an awful week. apart from getting sued (I settled out of court), to seeing another one of my friends blissfully go off to matrimony, to my rejection of the job with san jose, to my work announcing further cut backs, to the declining health of a family member and realizing that my monetary situation sits idle and now, it was an awful week.
I felt I had to forget about it. in the process I manage to forget most of saturday as a whole and lay down all sunday feeling awful all day.
we’re off to rehearse tonite. audition two new drummers. you can see me in the silver tie.
that picture doesn’t show the full amount. 75 people showed up to watch us play.
So This Is The New Year
you can see whales in the distance. this was taken on the Marin side of the Bay Area. Its a secluded little spot I like to take friends and visitors to see a very wide view of the bay unobstructed by tourists and only sound of chirping and the wind can be heard. maybe one day, you’ll get to see the place. its quite awesome.
a walk in winter.
I dunno. I think I failed with this girl. man. seriously. what is wrong with me? either I don’t see the signals and the signs or I just read them incorrectly.
here’s to 2009. hopefully, so things change.
