laissez les bon temps roulet.
would have been my 12th mardi gras in the city i love so much. last night i would have been in the writhing crowd, dancing to the huge drum circle that always happens outside of Cafe Brasil. instead i got shitfaced in kansas for lundi gras. pretty bad. at one point i was drinking water, throwing up into the cup and just trying to keep chugging to keep it all contained. there were only a couple other people at the bar, and i really didn't care who witnessed my social disgrace. i hadn't really been drunk since november in N.O. and i was in the mood. needless to say, today sucked pretty bad. wonder how many times i've run a busy kitchen hung over...its always the same.
been thinking a lot about the body and the soul and at the same time how in music, the technical virtuosos wow us with amazing skill, but seem kind of sterile, while the truly moving songs are usually pretty simple.
think joe satriani vs. leadbelly...body vs. soul.
...and distractions will prevent me from writing any more at this time.

There's a lot of people who flaunt and boast and have not much else to show for it. Talent is one thing, but purpose is another. Someone can play music with great skill, paint a picture that was technically difficult, but have no meaning behind it. I know this may be a different direction from what you're saying, I do believe that there is nothing we need to show off. I don't really need my grillz to say anything that I don't know about myself. Mmmhmm.
With more of the body vs soul, we are lucky to find people with a soul that ages like wine and doesn't run down with the body. Some people find it, yet again, some people are distracted enough with the complexities of life, they forget how beautiful things can be.
But yes, do tell more and I promise she won't bug ya. Haha.
