okay, so I'm going to try something new here: excerpts from my notebooks...i write like a fiend, have since i was 13...for a lot of valid reasons, i never thought it necessary to share these writings....and still dont feel all to well about it (especially in this day and age, when everybody and their mom is gushing their lives out in excruciating detail in blog format)...but i guess the thing is that i just dont care anymore...and i do like writing, and maybe want to do more with it...also, i think less than 5 people look at this thing...so here goes...
February 21, 2008 En route to Cleveland
The Tortoise song "Ten Day Interval" is the perfect song to accompany opening your eyes to peer through a windshield while flying down a washed-out, bleached, salt-stained highway; with animated trees blurring all around you, and white snow on the ground holding the sun; and all movements precise and in relation to one another and everything.
I was compelled enough, for the first time ever, to write my name on a green room wall {see photo below}. Probably had something to do with running into Mi Ami kids at an Ohio reststop (always running into other bands; i previously thought it a rare occurence, and now understand that we are everywhere, all over the place, all the time). And seeing so many friends' names everywhere i go. But also, i've given in to what i am part of- stopped fighting it. I love these venues (the smoke free ones at least!) and this lifestyle.
