4:26 am - Fuck, fuck, fuck
|
Mike's right. I'm retarded. I do the same thing over and over. I'm looking through this thing and I see a really stupid cycle.
Goddam!
Now I gotta do something.

3:10 am - Ch-ch-ch-changes
|
So recording has begun. It started a little slow, we're still on the scratch tracks. I normally like recordings to go at break-neck speed, but maybe going slow and steady is a good thing.
I just hate that feeling when you know it's being recorded, you know it's forever and the littlest nuance is gonna make or break the song. Maybe that's why I like the break-neck pace, you don't have time to think about mistakes.
We need a show.

7:34 pm - help wanted
|
Ok, so I've fucking had it with my work. I'm calling out for help.
I desperately want to get back into Graphic Design. The industry may have changed in the few months, but I still know the basic principles (and software). Short of a Design job, I'll do just about anything that will pay "Bay Area" wages.
So if you know something, If you have an idea, if you just have a word of warning, send it my way. You can e-mail me.
By the way, does anyone want My Yamaha RD350? I hate - HATE - the fact that I'm selling it, but I have to. Since it needs a little work, Im selling it for a good price.

10:45 am - brain keeps switching gears without my permission
|
This has been stuck in my head:
"Today I have been
molding plasticine
and I made a little man who looked just like me
His limbs were so weak
and he couldn't move his mouth to speak
And I could bend him into any shape I wanted him to be"
And if you know where that's from, well you just the coolest bear in the forest.
Things are forced lately. We got together last night. Nothing new. well I always bring something new, actually. For the most part, though, it was pretty routine. And forced. unnatural.
Like going through the motions when you're mind is somewhere else. It's just so tiring.

8:06 pm - Huff & a puff...
|
I haven't written anything here for a while, so here goes...
The recording is going really slow. We've only weeded out a few songs that we probably won't put on the recording. Although, I've already written songs that may replace them. The delay is anticipated, though. Also, there's been urgent matters to attend to.
I am trying to book a show with The Agency in my town (Fremont, ya'll).

3:16 am - heads...
|
Guess what? It's easy to say "fuck 'em". But I don't. For some reason I can't.
Even though I know I'm an outsider. I know that I won't be accepted - for whatever reason - I still keep...I dunno, Doing what I do, I guess. Just keep being nice. Just keep smiling... or what looks like a smile.

I've had a lot of guitars in my life. All of them used, or at least played before.

3:18 am - getting around to it
|
I'm just used to making mistakes. I don't need a girlfriend, I need an angel to save me from myself.
So far this year sucks. A lot. 13 cent solution. This tether wears thin. But then I've always placed my balance on the wrong aspect.
Something really fucking nice better happen soon.

The days have been hectic and I've been less than my usual "on top of things" self. There's so many things going on with the band and with my personal life.
My early retrospect on my life leads me to believe that I'm finally becoming a good judge of character. I can tell because I'm surrounded by really good people.
I'm in what the mystics call my 5th chakra, or whatever and art rules my hands and eyes in a reflective way.
I'm hoping things magically go my way, while I get to experience downtime.

7:57 pm - "John, Why do you have a sword?"
|
You're Morpheus - smooth, confident, deadly. You
fight because you have no choice - if you
didn't fight, you would be dead. Because of
that fact, you have perfected your fighting
style into an art form - those who train with
you are constantly being pushed to their limits
and beyond, learning how much better they can
become. Those who antagonize you quickly regret
their actions, and end up dead. You are
comfortable with a wide variety of weapons.
Inwardly you are deeply spiritual, and long for
peace so that you will no longer need the
elegant skills you have aquired.
Who do you fight like?

6:54 pm - It's my birthday!
|
It's my birthday and it's the last one. I'm not gonna have anymore after this, so let's drink! A bunch of people are meeting me at Lost Weekend in Alameda. Hope to see you there.
Thanksgiving was good. My family is weird and kooky, so the spread is weird and kooky. Aside from letting my nephew "go boom" on my watch it was a good time. Took my mom to see Elf and we laughed our turkey-stuffed asses off.
now, "who's dirty?", 'cuz Bacardi & cola, they get the job done!

1:58 pm - Ooh, my soul
|
Went out to the hide-away. I love karaoke. I just remembered that I have to call "Larry" about the parts for my RD. Maybe I'll see him friday. His name's not "Larry", but when you help someone steal a parking meter, he's gotta have a name.
Now what to do today. Maybe go to the thrift store.

12:09 am - Virtual House
|
Last night my housemates were on the couch laughing their asses off. It was another one of those moments where I think our house would make a great reality TV show. You'd watch it. Face it, you'd TiVo that shit and make a night of it!
The word Poly-amorus is haunting the back of my mind. I've been trying to close doors/burn certain bridges for the good of my life. I've become afraid to be alone with women. I think it's healthy.

Life is crap! I'm depressed. I'm mentally scanning for what I need to change.
BTW, I'm asking everyone to go to Lost Weekend Friday after Thanksgiving to buy me a drink for my birthday.

7:10 pm - rather than be boring and bitter...

OK, While I still say you should never trust anyone too well tanned, and my personal opinion is to never trust anyone who smokes Newports, instead of the rant I want to put in here I'll insert...
