......and?

i'm watching a film with what has to be THE worst subtitles i've ever encountered....unreadable by any means.

....yet, i keep the film on.

i'll be away / on the road for about 9+ weeks starting 14 days from today....if anyone out there actually reads these things, come out and we'll talk....
if i seem antisocial, MAKE me talk.
really.
human interaction is good....i just need to get better at it.

i get to be on tour with bands i truly, truly enjoy....not just ones that i feel i may have a good time with, but bands that have songs that have, at one time or another, been stuck in my head for days on end.
unfortunately, i'm willing to bet there a lot of people that take shit like this for granted.....i guess i have no choice but to be appreciative, considering i spent years playing shows to no one in the middle of nowhere.....make no mistake, though....i still loved every second of it.

fuck it...i'm restless.
i've always been restless.
my leg twitches 24 hours a day like i should be doing something....and that something i should be doing is exactly what i plan on doing for the next few years.

i make no money,
i have almost no teeth,
i have almost no big dreams.....except maybe to sustain a living off of the art i live and breathe.

i keeep telling my back and my legs to give me another 5 years, and once that passes by, they can break down like i know they will.

i turn 30 in less than a month.....goddamn i feel young.

go now.

i'm trying to force some writing out for no particular reason. somehow, even though i have things written for the next umpteen million works, i'm still acting as though i have nothing.
it's really quite ridiculous.

i quess i just have to finally get used to the fact that i'm not an every day type writer.....and once i get used to it, i then have to accept it.

seattle has welcomed me back with warmer than expected weather....i'm not too thrilled with this, and if it persists, we may have to exchange harsh words.

i fucking love m. gira.

angels of light "we are him"......brilliant.

but seriously.....

i have an amazing girlfriend.

record needles, a french press, a black denim jacket and a green light for tour shenanigans.

yes, yes, yes.

dayquil ramblings

quick recap of the last few weeks:

dudefest......best fest ever. insanity all around.

the midwest and it's oppressive heat.....not awesome.

i have gotten to see many old faces, i've made new friends from foreign countries, and i'm in a van doing what i love to do.

things are good.

my 2 days in nyc were completely fantastic....i have now convinced myself i could live there and have a hell of a good time.

i got to see disfear last night and innebriated myself into a very exciting evening.
it was also uplifting to find out cute girls find gnarly road-wrecked dudes attractive enough to buy them a beer (even if i don't like beer.....i still was polite and drank it.....i mean, she was REALLY cute)

tonight's show in boston had great moments and i was able to see many an old familiar face.

3 dates left until i start my trek back to seattle for about 7 weeks.....then i get to do this all over again in the glory of autumn weather.....

let's just say scuba and i will not sleep one moment with the amount of coffee that will be taken in on that tour.....which basically means it will be awesome.

yeah....things are good.
