Whispering Pines

I can feel you standing there, but I don't see you anywhere.

Why I Haven't Quit

Me: Dude, if you were a shark, what kind of shark would you be?

Dan: Excellent lunch question, dude. I'm even eating a tuna sandwich right now! (He takes twenty seconds to think) Hmmm...I guess I would have to say that I would be a tiger shark. Because I'm aggressive- some would say fearless. (Another twenty seconds). And because I'm inquisitive. (Another twenty seconds). Also, it's common knowledge that I'll eat anything.

Me: Really good answer, dude. 

And the Bells Were Ringing

I don't mind chopping wood, and I don't care if the money's no good
You take what you need and you leave the rest
But they never should have taken the very best

Like my father before me, I'm a working man
And like my brother beside me, who has taken a rebel stand

It's happening again. This self-titled is changing my life.

Splittin' Britches

My face was stuck like this for the majority of the time I was at the skatepark today.

I have a bad habit of letting all of the youngsters at the park ride my bike. They dig it so much, it's impossible to say no to them. Today an eleven year-old name James borrowed it. He didn't get more than two minutes in before he got his pants stuck on the seat- he ripped the shit out of them. You know those pajama one-sies popularized as bumpkin night wear? With the crap-flappers? He added a HUGE crap-flapper to his jeans. He was bummed, but not embarrassed- young-uns bounce back so fast!

Bikes forever. Dogs for longer than that.

Sonic Titan

...the reptile pushes itself out into space. Leaving behind the human race.

High Fidelity

What's wrong with me? Seriously...what happened?

Girl Named After a Flower

Here comes the rain. Here comes the rain. Here comes the rain- I was in it for the pay-ay-ain. 


You know, I really hate to see you fall- I wish you didn't love to get so high.

A Drunkard's Dream

The guys at work have got me into this band (hehehe) more than any other band. And I thought they were a one or two-hit wonder. I was wrong.

Very wrong. Best harmonies ever. Cry with me.

Movers and Shakers

Kevin: "Dude, what the f*** is going on?"
Marco: "We just had an earthquake, man."
Kevin: "Bullshit!"
Marco: "No, seriously. One-hundred and ninety miles away- in Virginia."
Kevin: "Damn. I thought someone must have crashed the forklift. For thirty seconds straight. Shit, guess it was an earthquake. Sick."

While leaving work, I had to cross a light rail stop. Couldn't. The earthquake had unsettled some water and mud, deep below the tracks. Repositioned the tracks and then bathed them (for about sixty yards) in bright red mud and water. Shut the f*** down. And all I kept thinking was, "damn, another twenty minutes until I can take my shoes off and have a beer".

Staring at the Floor. Dancing in Place.

So good I had to hit yall with a double dose. The B52s- they'll hit ya, hit ya, lay yo' ass straight flat.

If you live with someone, anyone, put this on after dinner. And turn it way up. Guaranteed, both of you will be dancing together after the first minute. 

Get out of the State You're In

Underground, like a wild potato!

Ruck Bogers and Gash Flordon

From the mid 30's. You put ice cubes in, and it shot crushed ice out. All the rage for your guests' mixed drinks. Hope my grandparents had one.

Stories About Our Sins...pt III

Now all I've got for you, is the kind of love that cuts clean through.

Stories About Our Sins...pt II

Heard the sounds way back when they were born. Saw the gods before they knew they were gods. Danced with dogs and felt the freedom of filth. Got addicted at an early age.

Stories About Our Sins...pt I

Sustained by madness. Sustained by darkness. Heroes and fuck-ups bounding through time. I sit alone. I raise a strong drink. To your songs. Your words in thick, black ink. In lives lived- not fairy tales, but flesh and blood.

BROOKLYN Bound

Getting ready to do the damn thing! See you in the city.

Hours of cultivation for proper city-flair hair. Gotta pay to play.

Syd Barrett

...we're just two lost souls...

And you know how it goes.

Hogg Palace

Checked out Michael and Kim's place while I was in town. The lobby on the corner of Louisiana and Preston.

The entryway. Sheet steel and exposed load-bearing columns! Rad.

She's all, "Check it out, bitch!!!" Natural lighting out the ying-yang. Kim installed the ying-yang.

The amazing view afforded to them by some amazing windows. One of their favorite attributes of the place.

 They are digging it! Right before this, Kim cooked up some fine chicken sausages. Right after this, Michael and I found out she's into watching soft-core porn.They are loving the place.

Mink Coats

I saw spirits earlier today, in the bathroom. It was alright, I guess.



Favorite Quotes from Last Night
Pete: Come on dude. Go get a taco. You want one.
Landon: Naw, man. I only eat food that's healthy. That's why I ate that burger at the strip club.

Child of Ancient History

For the plane-ride home. First edish, straight outta '73.

I cannot believe in Western sincerity because it is invisible, but in feudal times we believed that sincerity resided in our entrails, and if we needed to show our sincerity, we had to cut our bellies and take out our visible sincerity. And it was also the symbol of the will of the soldier, the samurai; everybody knew that this was the most painful way to die. And the reason they preferred to die in the most excruciating manner was that it proved the courage of the samurai. This method of suicide was a Japanese invention and foreigners could not copy it!
