I make more music than love these days. Those two things used to be interdependant productions. More love/more musis: less love/less music. Music has become that part of me that I used to satisfy with love. The few people I with which I choose to spend my time are those few people that really understand music-they understand how music can be fulfilling. And yet, I can't stop thinking about love. Why is it that being in love is such a vital part of life? The more i listen to great music, the more i am reminded of that fact. Distance has the way of making love understandable, and being distanced from love, I understand it too well. I can never remember my dreams, but something tells me they are about falling in love. The last thought before i fall asleep, and the first thought when i wake up.
I can't force it. Ive tried that before, and it doesnt work. It will be real and organic this time. Ill have to wait this time.
...
I'm studying abroad in Ireland this summer. That means Im actually going to finish reading Ulysses. Im going to write a story that no one will ever read.
...
Ill be back in the Bay, the week of the 15th. Be ready. Im going to visit all the people I cant get out of my mind. You dont know who you are. I dont talk about these sorts of things. But one of you rhymes with oregano smiley.

!!!-Heart of hearts |
] |
The Odyssey and Ulysses are fresh in my mind.
The bible is legit. "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." [MT 6:21] "Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Todays trouble is enough for today." [MT 6:34]
I worry to much about a fuck. I just need to focus on other things that complete my life right now-regardless of how lonely shit can be here.

Standing outside the moore theater, praying to get tickets to see my morning jacket. Scalpers trying to palm off 2 tickets for 70 bucks. Wil and I are about to submit to the blow to our bank statements. Karma must be real. This guy hands us two tickets (floor seats mind you) for free and tells us that he hopes we enjoy the show. Im not sure what I did that day to deserve two free tickets to mmj. Maybe it was something I did earlier that week. Maybe it was just talking to that hungarian guy while smoking a cigarette. It was cold outside and he looked lonely. It was his birthday and his friend had stolen his money and left on a bus. The least I could do was wish him a better rest of the day. Im no saint, regardless of my good catholic name, but little things like this make the world better. Whether its giving two pathetic kids tickets to one of the best concerts they have ever seen or trying to communicate with people who have otherwise been abandoned by society. Just being in my room right now feels wrong. I need to get out of this shelter I have here and get into the city.
Something about this image moves me. I took the photo from my dorm room window. It's a raccoon clinging to a branch during a windstorm.

deerhoof-friend opportunity |

Another day started with a walk to cafe vita and another day with a fresh cup of french press. Another day running into annie, holis, and katie outside of everyday music. Tony was glad to see me and I was glad to see him. I found the 30th anniversary edition of the white album- a faithful reproduction of the original vinyl pressing but on two disc cd! that was quite the everyday find. Tony and I went for pesto slices at mama's- the closest thing to pizza my heart north of the glorious sf bay. I listened to the silver apples as seattle misted my face lightly. Now I'm off to see a debate between oxford and su on whether or not terrorism is ever justified. Let's see if this nobody nw liberal arts school has what it takes eh? Deerhoof will accompany me on my walk and I will accompany Deerhoof when they play on the first. hopefully I will be able to get tickets for my morning jacket tomorrow.

Woot! It's Apples&Apples with your host Christofu! First show of the winter quarter today, friday, from 6-8.

Listen in on www.ksubseattle.org and call in with any requests at 206-296-2255.

Fall breaks and back to winter-The Beach Boys |

I sprinted from the law building to my dorm in hail today, laughing all the way. I covered my camel with my palm, occasionally taking a drag as I raced up the hill. As I inhaled the smoke into my lungs and the hail melted into my hair and vest, I began to feel close to the princess exiled to northwest. I wish my life was more romantic. I wish I could look at the moon in the way I did as a child-the way all those poets claim to see its piercing glow. If I'm ever going to learn how to see again, this is the place where it can happen.

Rez:
1) be a better friend to the people for whom I care but to which I have difficulty showing my appreciation
2) get a j o b - how incredible would it be to work at tj's
3) work more in general- work out (where's my yoga mat), school work, men at work
4) take in seattle for all its worth- bus pass for the win
5) take more kodrachrome
6) attempt to find love

| Goodbye Logan |
[04 Dec 2006|05:08am] |
Here's to one of the most amazing people I ever had the honor to know. As one of the first musicians to turn me on to local and independent music, he was one of the greatest influences for my involvement in music and in my life.
I miss you so much Logan. I'll always remember you for the kindness you extended to me and for your fun-loving demeanor. I think your music says so much about the kind of person you were. Thank you for everything.
Goodbye my 4-track by Logan Whitehurst
Goodbye, my 4-track, goodbye microphones. No more songs about noodles and fish, no more references to telephones.
Goodbye, my 4-track, goodbye everyone. It's been fun, but I gotta run, so goodbye.
I just wanna sit around and do nothing all day,
But that don't seem to be keeping the utilities paid.
You know, things don't always go the way you want them to, and whether or not you like it, that's the way it is, there's no avoiding it. If you believe in all that destiny crap, well I'll tell ya, you can't change it. But even if you feel like there's no hope in the entire bloody world, there's always that one little thing you should always remember. What that is, well, I forget, but the point is this: It doesn't matter whether or not things go right all the time 'cause it's not your fault anyway, So cheer up, and stop feeling so bad for yourself, you big babyhead.
I just wanna sit around and do nothing all day,
But that don't seem to be keeping the utilities paid.
Goodbye, my 4-track, goodbye everyone. It's been fun, but I gotta run, so goodbye.

Royal Tenenbaums Part 2-The Storks |
] |
I most be the most disgusting person in the world. Im starting to like flannel. Im warm, comfortable, and i only paid 5 bucks for the shirt, even if it is Element Skating brand. I picked it up at black and brown with megan who I kidnapped from Berkeley for the night. We stayed up to 2 in the morning playing star wars and need for speed. Im going to miss that girl when I finally move up to seattle. Im not going to the bumbershoot festival. Whats the point? I would rather spend the time with my lovely Michelle. God I miss her to death. I've been trying to take my mind off of her all the time, working, going up to berkeley, recording music. But its moments like now, when i have nothing to do but think about the distance between us, that just kill me. Distance has the way of making love understandable I guess. Only two more days though.

Fall |

Ben’s voice roared and roared. Queenie moved again, her feet began to clop-clop steadily again, and at once Ben hushed. Luster looked quickly back over his shoulder, and then he drove on. The broken flower drooped over Ben’s fist and his eyes were empty and blue and serene again as cornice and façade flowed smoothly once more from left to right, post and tree, window and doorway and signboard each in its ordered place.
they left one by one

the storks wes anderson songs are moving along nicely. bottle rocket, rushmore, and the life aquatic so far. the royal tenenbaums has to be truly amazing though.
I also started packing up my room for seattle. its a wierd experience. im such a pack rat and soo i was digging up all these memories i would have rather forgotten about. i found this one really bitter letter that urked me for about five minutes then i threw it away. im glad im throwing all this shit away and starting with a clean slate.
