voyager.

well in only a few hours i will be on my way to the beautful city of st. louis.  I am going to see the good life tonight, which i am really excited about not only to see them play, but also the mfa is going to be there.   It should really be a fun time, and i am interested to hear what they have to say.  I am also going to be working on some songs with my good friend Kyle, so that should be a great time as well.  I am still working on the book.  I haven't in the last couple nights, but as soon as i get back i will be back at it.  I don't think it will ever see the light of day, but it is fun to write anyway.  Maybe after i get famous for something else i can just be like "Oh hey, i have a book too, you guys could sell the shit out of it".  I am going to try to visit chicago in the fall.  Well, wish me well as i depart.  I will be back before you know it. 

FIREAL

i am totally serious about the book.  I have roughly 20 pages so far.  It is sort of like David Sedaris in style i suppose.  Little stories about my past and all that.  The things that have shaped me.  It is funny in some parts.  Actually it's funny in most of it so far.  It will be a bummer later on though.  I'm totally kidding, it's gonna be a party the whole time.  Enjoy, once you have paid the $23.95 for the hardback edition in about a year or so. 

crime like yours

i guess here it is. or there, i can't tell. I'm listening to a lot of new music lately. And i spent way too much money today getting stuff together for a wedding i am going to really soon. I bought new shoes, and dress pants and a new belt. And that is just the tip of the iceburg, i still have to buy a dress shirt, and a gift and rent a car, and i don't know. It will be fun though, i've never been to one before. The shoes i bought i probably won't even be ablt to wear to the wedding, i just really liked them. I need to finish the book i am reading. It is called L.I.E., and it is by an author named David Hollander. It is really good, i guess. I have read it before, and it is sort of juvenile in reality. I have to work tomorrow. I think i find this song inspiring. It is called "call 1-800-FEAR" by a band named Lali Puna. It is so good. The new songs are coming along slowly, i may record in the fall, i will be more inspired then. It will be new, and not dead like this fucking heat everywhere. I had written the best end to this blog, but i instead copied it to a word program. I am going to start working on my new book. Or my first book, i should say. Fuck my stupid songs, i am going to start writing. So there it is. There.

trembling where i can only see the white on the screen

man, the last couple days, huh?  I will try to recount what happened upon my arrival in the lou.  I should start off with the drive there i guess, which after requesting a compact car was given a dodge dakota 4X4.  Rad gas mileage, or however you say that.  Moving on, i almost saw a tornado.  I was really more scared than i have ever been driving.  The whole sky was green, and cars were pulling off the road and all that.  So anyway, i get in town and meet up with my homey paul and we almost immediately start drinking.  We finish a beer and go to nathan's house where we drink more and then go to a bar.  I proceed to have way to much to drink and then we end up at a bar where the bartender was a woman with barely any clothes on.  We then go to some other bar and i try to drink some water and not pass out.  We then went to some dudes house and i tried, very unsuccesfully, to play guitar and just gave up after a few minutes.  The next day i woke up and felt like complete shit but went and bought the new minus the bear EP with my sister and then got a burrito.  We then hit the road and ate a pizza.  Tonight we ate thai and then tried to see napoleon dynamite, but it was sold out.  We then decided to see fahrenheit 911, which i can honestly say was fucking amazing.  Truly one of the most moving films i have ever seen.  If you watch it and don't cry then i don't know what to think of you.  Or maybe you are a real man who doesn't cry at movies like i do.  Either one.  Moving on, i am going to try to see napoleon dynamite tomorrow, so that should be rad.  I am done typing, but i will post again soon and talk a bunch about music or something. 

did i post already today?

i can't recall, i was tired this morning, and i might have. I got paid today and i want to go to the record store, but i am waiting. I really want "if you're feeling sinister", "ease on down the road", and i don't know, a bunch of other stuff. AC Newman's new one sounds real real good, i might buy that. So i went out hours ago. At the end of that last sentence, actually. And i just got back. I went to everybodys and bought the belle and sebastian record, and ease on down the road, and ordered viva last blues. Then i went to Erika's house and we traded a bunch of albums. Like tons, like too many to even count, and it should prove fucking rad having all this new music for the lou trip. I really am so excited, i had to listen to "fox in the snow" one more time this evening before settling into interpol. I can already tell this shit is going to be fucking amazing. So yeah, i really can't wait to sort through all this super fun stuff. I hope all the shit surrounding you is fun. I hope you lean against something sturdy. I hope sound is pillars in your room keeping the ceiling off of you. I just read that last line, and said it out loud and think it's the most brilliant shit i have ever said. It will be in a song you hear soon if i ever play again. Or maybe i am just a self obsessed asshole who thinks everything he does is genius in some kind of way. Or maybe it is a really good line. Just agree. nod your head accordingly. Man, this shit is genius. Not my thing, but this record. Thanks again. goodnight. and good morning. good weekend. good year. good all of everything that fills your periphery.

timebombing on the parkway.

went and saw the old 97s last night. good times. After that tried going to the pepper pod, which was closed, so we went to the anchor for equally rad food. slept like shit. It's payday though, so thats rad. I think i am going to buy "ease on down the road" by bonnie "prince" billy, and "viva last blues" maybe. I am going to be in st louis for one night next week, so lets get wasted. I am getting in town on tuesday night, and leaving wednesday early afternoon. So yeah. until more fun stuff happens.

ina big city ina big way

man, i had way way too much to drink last night. I totally blacked out which doesn't happen all that often really. I for real can't remember any shit i did. I could have done anything for all i know. And i woke up full on drunk this morning and had to work. That was a just a fucking nightmare, but around noon i got really kinda tired and happy for no reason and was smiling, despite feeling really awful. I can't wait to do it all over again. I am going to try to post a picture of my face and shoulders i just took a few minutes ago. I just had some honey nut cheerios. I was so excited when i bought them cause my mom was like "is there a watch in there"? And i looked and there was a shrek watch of my favorite character, the cat. I don't know what it's name is, i've never seen either of the films, but the cat is cute as can be and the watch is great too. thats all i got for ya, but i will try to update this more and say interesting things and whatever.
