My brother is here: DC2020! Introduce yourself and say hello (or we'll kidnap your motherfucking kid) . . . love him!
Yes, this is the same brother responsible for feeding Sophie and I in Chicago. What a winner. I'm only slightly bitter that over time he's become both the good one and the talented one. I'm used to being bad, but I'm not used...

Hmm.....I have a question. Is part-time work available? Oh..and do I get to carry a stungun?
sophie:
mmm, i likes the sound of that!
When Sophie and I went to Chicago a couple of weeks ago for the Coheed & Cambria show, we ate at Moto Restaurant and had the 18-course GST tasting dinner.
Whoo, lawd.
My brother Drue and I had been talking about this place since they opened, and planning to do it, so once we arrived, Drue made the call, we were going to do it...

it's all just crackity crackin.
i'm pretty damn bored now. there was a good pile of stuff to do when i got into work today, but now it's all done diddly done, and i am twiddly tiddle thumbly.

Dale the tool will indeed be at the Union Station lunch outing saturday. i was thinking we could go, you could meet workpeople, we could see what the place was about, and then maybe roll on over to jeremy and ian's and see if they want to play some dice with us. alternately, we could try and find that tattoo convention and check it out. or! we could jump someone's apartment pool fence and swim like fishies that way. mainly, i sink it should involve zee svimming.
or not.

Mad Hot Ballroom is the shit; if you can, you should, and even if you can't, you should remember that once you can you should. It may not be in theaters where you are at, but will be on DVD soon.

Man, I wish it was just a question of sleep. If it was, I wouldn't have to life in constant fear of inadvertently slicing my gums like so much provalone.
It is said that, when I was about 4, living in a log cabin, safely nestled in a 200 person biker town in northern Wisconsin (ages 0-8)), I used to wake up and go into the living room, sit down in a wingback chair and stare at the fishtank for a couple of hours without moving. Mornings are mayby the best part of the day, but, for my own good, it seems I must take them in from afar.
Thanks for the movie reccomendation. I need to see something that doesn't have an ad campaign and merchandising attached. I think I need to stay occupied today, so I may try and take it in.
Your Round three wisdom is right on the money, but it'll be a tall order. Round by round. Eventually the score cards will fall away and I'll be in it on my terms.
Makes me think of 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper for some reason.
'Just when you thought you had all the answers, I change the question.'
I always wonder whether or not dreams are the voice of the actualized self trying to break into the practical world. Trying to, like you said, make it your kind of fight.
This kind of thinking requires coffee and maybe a scone. Perhaps it will be earmarked for a greek salad later today.
Good stuff. Bring that brain of yours back to Chicago. Seriously.

Much love to those who have suffered and lost in London.
I just wanted to add that there are two large themes I take away from a barbaric act of fascist fanatacism like this:
1) That tragedy does bring out some of the most noble qualities in humankind. The stories of the victims helping one another and Londoners coming together through all of this inspire...

I agree. I just wish people could work together like that all the time...the world would be a much better place.

Well, actually all I did was turn my head when everyone started laughing. Thanks for the words of concern as well as Musashi's. I took the book of 5 rings with me to Slovenia for a bit of enlightenment as well.
All that scratching is making me itch. I just replaced my needles the other day, and in celebration, made a little scratch practice track yesterday afternoon:
Scratchy_6.01.mp3 (6 MB): I am obsessed with phrasing.
(^ Somebody go tell ck to get off Q-Bert's dick: The dick is full, sir . . . please step away from the dick.)

YOU PISS TAKING BASTARD - HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME SMILE
unnecessaryz:
Actually, my conditioning was top notch. I may not train jiu-jitsu full time, but when I'm not in class, I'm at the gym. I was beat by my own mistakes. For some reason, I got really paranoid about the clock and did things a lot faster and a lot sloppier than I would have if I just relaxed. Good thing I never make the same mistake twice.
Steel Pulse was fantastic. The show was in a spot called the Grand Emporium, which I remember from the old days as being a blues bar; Kansas City had (has?) some gritty old-school blues dives back in the day. You used to be able to go into the Grand Emporium and buy red beans and rice with a plate of greens from this tiny mean...

I'm not entirely sure of what that is, though. I know it involves travelling- probably to Italy. Beyond that, I just don't know. Maybe if I stopped beating myself up about not knowing..

It was so wonderful to finally meet you. Good energy. Good feelings. Good people. I dunno about you, but I never ask for anything more.
I certainly hope the future brings more crossing of paths.

All love songs are really songs to God:
In a little situation
Came with a solution
Was a revelation to me
Triumphant call out
Triumphant! Triumphant!

Holy power is yours if you love like Jah:
Rejoice, rejoice!
Good tidings I bring you
Hear ye -- a message to you my friend
Voices cry invoke your angels
When pressure drop it cannot conquer dread, no...
