"Deaf, Dumb and Done..."

Good:

Bad:

So there has been a week or so of life since we last talked.  I have much that I wish to discuss.  First off what is with the awesome weather?  Did I move to LA and forget?  *gets up and checks out window*  Nope still in Oakland.  *phew*  Got worried there for a second.  A lot of life is just us living.  My good friend John said once on our way home "We are totally living life right now".  At first it seemed a bit stoney to me but as the days go by he is fucking right.  This is the moment.  Right now, as you read this or as you shop for quinoa and broccoli or when you make breakfast with a friend or when you are trying to get the dog poop out of your shoes tread.  That is life.  Enjoy.  And don't forget that you are loved.  And on the off chance you are not loved, you are, by me.  And for the love of life listen to more music.  Go buy an album.  I am not talking about buying a sound file on iTunes.  Get in your car/bike/bus and walk outside.  See the gutter punks and smell the cool.  Say hi to the guy that takes your oversized purse/man purse.  Wander around the store till you remember what it is like to have to find something without a search engine.  Look at your options, remember what labels you used to like (Jade Tree anyone?).  Stand in line and look a human in the eye.  And just for a novelty use cash.  Trust me it is worth it.

What is that?

There was this ball of light and heat beating down on me yesterday. It was a not altogether unpleasant. I have lived here most my life so I know better than to get used to it but a guy can hope can't he.

And as we all know hope springs eternal, and despair flops down on the sofa and watches multiple episodes of "24".  Does anybody know how I got here?  And where the fuck am I going?  I am purely speculating at this point but all signs are pointing to one of two choices. Down one road there is almost certainly a future I will like.  Who knows maybe my over-arc of luck will hold.  Spend your whole life doing what makes you happy and what do you get?  Happy?  I'll let you know when I get there.


In case you care, here are the albums I have listened to since last time:

























You're Welcome,
