In the dead of night when the homeless denizens of the day crawl into their cardboard homes and the streets clear out of the 9-5 weekend warriors, something magical happens. its hard to explain but when you are making your way around the stillness of the once crampped city and the wind is rushing by, nostalgic music of your youth is blaring in your ear, and the streets are dead as far the eye can see, you feel like you can cry, laugh and call out all at once. you no longer care about the john's circling blocks for hookers, girly boys, or trannys who are just looking for money for their next fix. you dont care about who mugged who, who killed who, or who raped that poor young woman in an open alcove while able bodied people walked by in apathy. it is you and the night. it is you as owner of all you survey. it is something, as said before, magical. something special. you know that in opening up to these emotions and showing them outward that you could just as easily become a victim as any other poor sod that was a victim of circumstance. it is the fact that you are on the edge of something that makes the freedom of the night worth so much more. |

my best friend's mom died yesterday. Strike one more up for the calamities of life side. I went into get flowers and a card on the way there. I dont usually get bummed out in death since it's part of life, but when I picked out the card I started to tear up. No sobbing or anything, just a steady tear with sorrow. This lady was rad for sure. A lot of the baking recipies that I know are from her. Beyond that, I got more angry text messages today. I guess some people are not used to someone saying what they mean. Today's words are: 1)sorrow 2) pity. Life is still rolling on. I had began tacos with josh, Megan, and kylia. I then met vegan Jen and we walked over to dance at the club. Hardcore dawn patrol for the dfw surf team tomorrow. Anything before 6:30am. Down For Waves? dfw...
This was done

I guess I am back in this thing just to help feed my need to keep busy. Workaholism is a killer. Not much is new in life. The japan tour got canceled due to Timmy quitting the band and us not being able to get someone to take up the torch in his place. 15 people denied us due to work or their fear of skill level. I think we are an intimidating lot anyhow. We tour like savages and people can't get down with that all the time. Oh well. I guess it means more time to work in saving money for project car.
the car
I went do to Fresno for the weekend to celebrate my sister's birthday at my moms house. We tried for some Futile moments to get her to move out of there, but it's a moot point right now. I did see quite a few fat people though. Maybe that is my prejudice coming through. Who knows? Also, I didn't see many attractive people there. Either I have high standards or my labido is at a low point. I found out my sister smokes more weed than anyone I know. She was murdering the bong with rip after viscoous rip all weekend. 5 or 6 "sessions" a day. Intense irieness on her part.
I got a text from my brother that said this, " did you make anyone cry yet?"
Alas, that didn't happen. |

i guess i can post on this since i am trying to take up things to occupy my mind. i hung out with me mom, brother, his wife, and dannie D today. we hit up haight street for a while. saw Mic who will bring my marching snare back to me on thursday. super big, sounds great, but is very tall and hard to get a stand for.
the best part of the day was being on top of a roof at sunset in Pacific Heights. looking out over the marina as the sun went being the mountains on the marin side of the bay some how makes you feel awesome. i held my own hand just to get the romantic part covered. |

tuesday
got up at 8 and made some oatmeal. went to work at World Pantry. i mostly boxed up stuff to ship but i also did some restocking, which was fine. from here i hit the post office, then went back to the house. went up to ron's for some D&D but i was so beat that i fell asleep sitting in the chair at the end of the night. from there i went home and slept. one other main thing is that i somehow split the spot where your fingernail meets the skin; the spot where you cut to with the clippers. i didnt cut them too short, but for some reason it split on a couple different fingernails. i think it might be the weather, but it still hurts like an MF. |

got up earlier than the alarm since i started the new job and could not sleep. i was not nervous, but it tends to happen that i dont sleep well the night before just because i dont want to be late. i got to work a bit early but started right in. i am going to be picking and packing orders for small organic companies. i work at a place called World Pantry in the warehouse. it will be only for 6 weeks, then i will go to japan. i rearranged a section with georgia, put away some product that came in, and then picked out some orders to be shipped. i think i will be doing more of the same today.
after work i met Caroline for Sushi at No Name Sushi. we went to Safeway and got some snacks, then i rode back home. i had band practice which was ok. there was one song i was not really doing well on. i kept messing up the timing on this part because of the drum beat i was playing, but i guess it was ok, seeing as i had not played the song in months.
from there i went home and got ready to go out. i went to deathguild and danced. i left early, but that was ok. it was for a good cause. |

Saturday
got up on saturday and mostly went to santa cruz. i cant remember what else i did that day. my mind is not what is used to be. santa cruz was cool. i dropped off unopened presents to my dad's house since i dont talk to him anymore and he is trying to buy me back into his life. at Saturn Cafe i had a Buck Roger's burger and our waiter, Levi, gave us 20% off since i ate my dish and elizabeth's dish as well as a chocolate peanut butter shake. we got up and yelled, "give it up for LEVI!" people were screaming and clapping. it was awesome.
Sunday
got up and went to lands end where there was a circular maze that was supposed to be spritual in some way. it was interesting since i had never walked around something like that. it was made of stones laid out on the ground. we also saw a gang of dolphins moving around the point at Fort Miley towards the inside of the bay. it was really beautiful. i had food at golden era, hung out with meghan at dolores park for a second, talked to ying to see how she was doing, told elizabeth good bye and good luck in santa cruz, had dinner with L.Presh at Herbivore (quinoa salad for me), then saw L.Presh's new house that she is living at. i got some stuff for a secret surprise that i am working on which is great. i also found a bunch of change on the ground, which tends to make me happy too. free money is awesome. Dannie D had been taking money out of my account on accident, so we worked out the logistics of what she owed me and got squared away. i am now going to sleep since i will start a second job tomorrow putting me at 50 - 60 hours a week. got start gripping more green. paper chase. |

got up and went into to studio in he late morning. i didnt really know what to do with myself all day, so i went surfing. that tends to help, but sometimes events that are out of your total control can make things a bit bad. here is a story.
story
i went surfing in pacifica with barry and it was awesome. it was cold and my hands were a bit greasy from the amounts of sunscreen i had put on. this led to me loosing my board into the shore, for i dont wear a leash and sometimes things can get hairy. anyhow, my board plowed over a girl who got furious. to make a long story short she was mad and my board beat her board ruthlessly. i flipped her a benji ($100) and i think it was all cool. i guess the bad part about it is that in this sport people get hit and boards get dinged. her board was brand new and not so sturdy as an old board like the ones i ride. it's all love and not hate though.
end story
after surfing i worked at the studio for a bit, went to the bank, went up to ritual, talked to ying, went home, then went on a drive with elizabeth to lands end. we looked down the north side hill and discovered the surf spot known as Dead Man's. that place is awesome, though you will get seriously hurt if you loose your board. the waves ride alongside a super rocky shore. the waves were awesome though.
i hanabi sushi, went to Bondage a go go and danced, then came home. |

| get epic |
[Jan. 31st, 2007|01:30 am] |
got up and and ate some food. it was meager seeing as i had 2 spoons of almond butter and some raisins. i went into work for a while. ran to rainbow grocery with dannie D since she had a 20% off coupon. went back to work and then ran a radical errand for the boss with Brother Condor. that is where things got epic. we had to drive to benicia to get a banjo, but on the way there we stopped at a few places to try and rack some paint and pens. nothing was happening in these stores. no pens, no paint, serious haters, and us being thwarted.
after getting this banjo we stopped in berkeley for Top Dog (so rad). we also went into a couple spots to steal but it was just not a good day. Brother Condor ended up throwing a stuffed animal at a woman in American Apparal. ha also decided to throw a bottle of water out the window as we drove down university ave. it hit a woman full in the back. we had to take some evasive action.
got back to the real side of the bay. dropped of the stuff, then i went home. i talked to katie baile about her new house when i went into trader joes. i got some tea there, then went back home. i exercised ate some food, talked to ron and elizabeth on the phone, then went to cat club.
then this ridiculous crackhead wench outside of the catclub begged me to let her come home with me because her pimp beat her and her landlord kicked them out and she had no money and was bleeding and going through withdrawls and needed a place to lay low and shower and sleep. i figured she was ugly as hell but could use a good cuddle, i mean, we all go through hard times and shit. so i let the bitch ride and here we are at my house. |

monday-
got up and went to work. i had oatmeal before hand of course. worked most of the day, then went on a bike ride. i had more flat tire trouble so i was about to throw in the towel on the bike ride, but instead i fixed the flat with a brand new tube. i rode through the park and over aquello into the presidio. i talked to ying a bit since i had not seen or talked to her in a while. i got a call from elizabeth to hang out while i was in her neck of the woods but it didnt work out. i did talk to her on the phone and she came over later to watch My Own Private Idaho, which we had never seen. i exercised and then went to the club. afterwards i went to Sparky's with Danielle and Elizabeth. i split the Vegan Burger. i then came home and slept. |

got up at 9 today for some reason. i was going to be content with oatmeal, but i called Dannie D instead. we went to herbivore and had breakfast. i had a BLT with extra bacon. they came a bit shady on the potatoes, and dannie D was pretty bummed when she tasted something that was like dirt. i finished her's of course. i made dropped dannie D off and made my way back home to get ready for day 2 of recording. we got there a bit before 1, which was right on time. i pretty much sat around the whole time and taped panels for work. i guess i got a jump start on the coming week, which is nice. the rest of the guys ran the dry guitars through some amps and messed with some mixing. we are going back down on thursday evening to finish if we can. during the whole session i ran to whole foods for food and brought the other guys around to Taco Bell and Circuit City. i had a tostada at taco bell. while i was there i got embarrassed for some reason. my face even turned red. i think i was embarrassed, but i didnt really feel it. i just know i got red when this one girl was asking me about my cheek piercings. we were in East Palo Alto in a sort of strip mall ghetto taco bell and this one soft spoken black girl kept trying to get my attention. she asked and i explained, but i for some reason got red in the face. i have no idea why. random emotions of life i guess.
after recording i drove back to the city in my brother's car. everyone else had some beers at the studio, so we were playing it safe. i got a pay check from the work studio and went home. exercised with Tammi Lee and abs of steel, ate some oatmeal, then left for the club. i found i had another flat tire, so i patched that real quick and broke out. i moved the van to a Gucci spot where i didnt have to move it. then rode to the club. i danced until my back hurt. dannie D showed up with some people and we danced a lot. since it was getting late, my back was getting stiff, and i was tired from the day i decided to break out. on the way out i saw Elizabth and Ida-Marie coming in. from there i hit the bank to deposit my check, then went home. now, i will get flat. |
