im totally fuckin with this

"Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. And intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want."

haha, you played yourself kid.  better luck next time.

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart "Say No To Love"

another summer song, ive become smitten with

Best Coast "When I'm With You"

ive been pretty smitten with the entire best coast catalog. another one of my favorite jams of the summer. telling you, this has been one amazing year for music. i hope the trend continues & we arent just getting hood winked & bamboozled.

life always seems to get in the way.

Fiona Apple - Shadowboxer

according to mother nature & the farmers almanac, the first day of summer is actually next monday.  so i guess technically this has been the best spring ever.

for the most part, this year has been nothing short of amazing.  theres been a few downfalls, but over all i havent had a spring like this. 

recently ive been inspired to write. a lot. ive taken "g-mom", "touched" & "the retail life" outta the closet, given them re-reads & even gone so far to give one a reboot & new treatment. ive even started to carry around a notebook with me like i once did, taking notes & writing down random ideas, rants, musings and the like to come back and elaborate on at a later date. i was hoping this bout of inspiration would carry over into my day to day life and allow me to write a little more about my days.  but i guess thats what twitter is for.

coming along for the inspiration ride has been books.  ive gotten in the habit of trying to spend a good amount of time catching up on some of these books ive bought over the years & the new ones ive picked up recently.
in the end, maybe do a book club [no oprah] & trade books off or something.  this bout im having with writing & reading is one i dont wanna lose anytime soon.  i used to write a short story a week & read 2-3 books a month, then one day i just stopped.  no more dusty ass books.

hopefully things will continue to move along.  theres a few more things that hopefully will be more of a reality then a pipe dream.

The Get Up Kids - The One You Want

lets get it boys!

Mystery Jets-Dreaming of Another World

another summer banger. this summer has been pretty solid as far as releases go. i cant remember a summer where the music has been so good so early on. hopin this is only a small taste of things to come.

Alexi Murdoch- All my days

Denali - Relief

le swoon

her "hi....what are you up to?"me :grunt: "ummmm sleepin...everything okay?"
her "oh yeah....did i wake you?  im in miami, got here wednesday night.  it looks like tampa...."
me "yeah...i was sleepin...thats cool...everything okay?"
her "yeah....things are great....so listen....do you know where i can get some coke at down here?"
me ".........what?" [being that i was sleeping, i was hoping i had heard her wrong or hoping she was talking about the caffeinated beverage ]
her "coke......you know....coke"
me "..........."
her "...you there?"
me "ummmm....no...rick ross?"
her "....ah okay.  well ill let you go....i might be in tampa this weekend.  might stay here longer.  ill call you"
me "word...."
::dial tone::

whole foods girl is officially cut from the squad.

while i was far from crowning her as the next great thing, she was rad & we had a lot in common.  but a 5am drug call?  she doesnt know about the decade of straight edge under my belt, but who calls someone at 5am and asks them for coke?  the thing that kills me is, i dont even know the proper channels to get regular ole drugs much less coke, & much less in a city i visit every 5 years. 

these are the things that make my life & love life something outta movie.  a woody allen movie as someone put it.  my friend has been urging me to write a book on my love life, or as she put it "write about all the crazy shit that girls do to you".   

There's a club if you'd like to go

you could meet somebody who really loves you

so you go, and you stand on your own

and you leave on your own

and you go home, and you cry

and you want to die

i promise i will start to fill this blog with stories, rants & musings. until then, i leave you with this.
