I went through the Ex Box today. Yes, THAT Ex Box. Pictures, letters, a mix tape, poems, you get the idea. But instead of feeling sad or nostalgic for those periods of time, or feeling like an asshole for how I behaved then (which is the usual...), I felt with each picture I saw and word I read a connection to that person that has...

I'll be packing this weekend and moving Monday. Driving up to Lancaster tomorrow to pay for the place and sign the paperwork. I'll be sans internet for a few days...whatever shall I do...I hear reading is good. I have a few guitars that need attention. Though if I'm packing, then opening other stuff up to use is kinda gonna defeat the purpose. Maybe I'll see...

1. I'm not paying any attention to that list of goals I set. The last month has gone by super fast, and I keep telling myself that once I'm moved I'll have no excuses. Which is an excuse. I need to get on the shit.



2. The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is fucking great. Took me a very long time to make the time...

My poor feet.
Disneyland today in 90 degree heat. Seemed pretty easy to get around, since no one wanted to do anything that didn't have to do with water. Indie, the Pirates, and the Haunted Mansion were all about 10 minute waits. Splash mountain--90 minutes. Didn't do that one. I was, however, amazed at the great lengths parents will take to not have to watch...

Got back from Vegas today-and only spent about 80 bucks the whole time, including gas!! This is what happens when you have family there. You stay with family and don't go a near a casino, and it's a way better trip than getting drunk and losing your rent money. Way better.

Just got home from the colOmbian place Marcela lives near. I ate way too...

home from vegas...family is good. They want me to move there though, and I'm not sure if I can handle the temptations that abound there.

Ate some barbecue, hung with my sis and her kids, and watched a (relatively) rockin show sat nite, featuring my brother in law on guitar and my nephew on drums. Good times...


Now to relax for a day before leaving...

time for new bloggage...


being up so late last night got me working on a new song. and I'm shocked. new music hasn't made itself known to me in literally 2 years. so I got that going for me. It also left me in a state of total exhaustion all day, leaving me totally incapable of handling something very strange today:

I was sitting playing...

1. I made hot chocolate (modified with cinnamon and nutmeg) and it came out so sickly sweet and thick that I think I actually turned it into melted candy bar. Then I drank it all. That was at about 830 while playing Mass Effect for the first time since TW Cable had an internet outage that lasted 6 hours. In that time, a few things...

almost one in the morning and nowhere near sleep. I'm gonna add to the list of goals the task of reading one book a week. Exercising my brain is something i've neglected for a very long time, something that I need to stop neglecting. It's unfortunate that working for so many hours for so long resulted in letting my mind atrophy to the point where...

Gearing up for a trip to the fabulous OC to see my cat and a dear friend. Have I mentioned how much I HATE the OC?

Moving to Lancaster on the 27th. Have I mentioned how much I HATE the AV?

Since L.A. has also died for me, I kinda have the freedom to go wherever the fuck I want. I've never really felt that...

I read The Godfather today. I had convinced myself that it was an exercise in screenwriting adaptation-I just finished the trilogy for the umpteenth time yesterday, and wanted to check in on the differences. And there's one GLARING problem:

The third movie was not in the book. Now we know why it sucked so bad. Kay never divorced Michael or had an abortion. Fredo never...

Wrote lyrics for the first time in literally years. They're not good.

Last night I bought myself a 6er of MGD 64. It's not good.

I also bought myself a guitar. Rickenbacker 330. That, my blog reading friends, is GREAT.

The screenplay is slowly working its way deeper in my brain. I might actually have an idea. So that's good.

Got approved for the place...
