half of what I say is meaningless

The Chase
----------------------------------
Everybody's got something going on
Sometimes they just want to put you on
What's the place
Who's that face
If that's the case
then join the the chase.
Everybody's got somewhere to be
Try to hold em back, and boy you'll see.
There's no freedom, no control
in this country
But is that the goal?
from orange sky and green sea
to be a part,
of something bigger than you and me.
Everybody's got something going on
and they just want to turn you on.

two week recaptured.




Saw Encounters at the End of the World and met Werner Herzog at the New Beverly Cinema
Saw Burn after Reading.
Saw Vampire Weekend, White Williams and Abe Vigoda blast it at the Wiltern. I later spent time with them backstage and one of the members of abe traded information with me and I guess that we are going to be music pen pals?
Mailed some letters.
Saw Health perform again. Did not enjoy it as much as last time.
Saw Ryroc perform. . . Really enjoyed it.
Saw Barr perform with others at the Smell. (It was okay. I'm kinda sick of i pod bands but I liked the lyrics a lot) Supposedly he is starting a little label with my friend Luke and they are interested in releasing my stuff.
Saw Vicky Christina Barcelona and enjoyed it.
Been listening to Coney Island Baby by Lou Reed, the temptations, dixie cups, tickley feather, and wilson picket.
Read The Journal Magazine, A Taste of Honey by Shelagh Delaney, The Art of Living by Epictetus, Slaughter house five, and other magazines.
Felt sorry for the people who died on the train accident that happened last Friday.
Changed the oil and cleaned my car.
Found out that the Drummer of the Strokes named his new band after the bar that I used to work/dj at. The Little Joy. Also found out that he came into the bar yesterday with devendra and his girlfriend to get 'official' permission to use the name.
Saw art- The Getty has a new show
Went on a Culver city art walk. Some was good, some not so good. Amanda Ross-Ho's new show at Cherry Martin was a delight.
Bought over alls, two shirts, and some buttons.
Was told, twice, that I look like david byrne. sigh
Was shy to a lot of people.
Realized that I am very stupid
Realized that I am not that stupid after all.
Realized that it was best to not think about being stupid or not stupid.
Realized that I am too lazy.
Went to the Beach again.
Broke my glasses. God, I can't see anything.
Talked to friends.
Missed my friends.
Got payed
Got broke real fast. Somehow?
Realized that I have to practice control over financial issues better.
Slacked on editing because I had to make money elsewhere.
Painted a house.
Painted a picture of a house.
felt lonely at night.

Anyway. With all said and done I feel lonely out here because I have been staying at my mother's house which is located out of los angeles county. I have no friends in this area and the house is a time warp black hole so I can't wait to get out of here.
No More Pussy Footing.
