baggage's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that, right now, I am quite scared. High. No shirt. Just shorts. No shoes. guitar electricity. alone. 3:57 p.m. - 2009-06-20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Needle-a big, tall needle I drew a chart today. One line sloped down. Another sloped up. In the middle they met. And I wondered if I'd ever get the chance to recognize you as you walked by. 9:45 p.m. - 2009-05-20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Listening to: Phoenix Sometimes, I feel like a old, rich guy all alone in a huge mansion with nothing to do but feel like an adult. 9:40 p.m. - 2009-05-20 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- orphaned goodbye, dad. 7:49 a.m. - 2009-03-16 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Mentalists This makes me smile, despite it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df1MSWblX6I&eurl=http://www.thementalists.co.uk/watch-listen&feature=player_embedded 9:10 p.m. - 2009-03-04 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dad Today, I was told dad only has a few days to live. 11:32 a.m. - 2009-03-04 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almost Orphaned So when did this start? New Year's Eve-he fell while attempting to take the trash in. 8:59 p.m. - 2009-02-25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nowhere to go but here Dad is dying. Almost same time of the year as Mom. 7:14 a.m. - 2009-02-25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Happy to be here despite it all, Mr. Updike Note to yourself, but from the past: If you can recognize this, you da bomb! TA TAAAAA TA TA TA TAAAA TAAAA TA TA TA TAAAAA TAAAAA TA TA TA TAAAAAAAAAA 9:28 p.m. - 2009-01-28 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009-resolution 2009 will be a year of purging and cleaning-like a long, very satisfying visit to a very plush, private bath. 6:46 a.m. - 2009-01-18 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009-resolution 2009 will be a year of purging and cleaning-like a long, very satisfying visit to a very plush, private bath. 6:46 a.m. - 2009-01-18 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Must be Christmas Spent the evening here. It was quite lovely-despite the ache in my head. 8:00 p.m. - 2008-11-30 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sympathy will have to do Just rose from a 14-hour sleep and feeling slightly better. I've simply no time for the flu and am quite annoyed - although not surprised - to be harboring germs that make my nose drip, my brain ache and my mood ill. 8:29 a.m. - 2008-11-30 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks The cacophony outside the window belongs to what appears to be a large family - about 8 or so - walking their dog on a Thanksgiving evening. A pretty girl with long blond hair rushed out to the front of the group as I looked at them from my quiet living room. She turned around, pulled out a camera and shot a picture - laughing all the while. 8:46 p.m. - 2008-11-27 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 percent and counting A quick inventory of nice moments: -wine and cheese at the Pantages theater parking lot
2:34 p.m. - 2008-11-15 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obama This is such an awesome time to be alive. 9:37 p.m. - 2008-11-03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- uh huh Tonight, I'm oatmeal raisin cookies. and crumbs at the table. listening to Diana. 9:09 p.m. - 2008-10-06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- get lucky-and i'm not talking about Loverboy At times I feel threadbare-stretched out and expanded beyond God's original design. Other times i feel compact-compressed into a tiny space-barely breathing and sweaty from confinement. 12:13 p.m. - 2008-10-02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the valley of the scattered Tonight, I burn candles. 9:00 p.m. - 2008-09-23 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Would it help if i could call you? Maybe not, but the option would be nice I sense a pattern: I tend to want to write here when in a hotel room in some strange city and it's past midnight and I'm alone and far from Girl-Unit. 12:54 a.m. - 2008-09-09 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As it stands currently Wowee. Been a while. Not feeling much need to come here any more-except, of course, tonight. bad stuff:
Oh. One more good thing: fried chicken in the fridge.
9:13 p.m. - 2008-08-11 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- American Tune So where the hell are all my friends? 8:30 p.m. - 2008-06-16 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open letter to my favorite fellow JEW fan wow-when did you leave that note? I haven't been here in ages. All is well-just been super busy with all sorts of work/music/relationship stuff. But it's all pretty good. Right now, I'm relaxing in some silk boxer shorts (too much information? yeah-well too bad). Came home from work and immediately took a quick run around the block (very tiring but it feels great), followed by a cold shower, a nice solitary meal and now, some new music courtesy of a band I just saw last Thursday at the El Rey: Vedera. Imagine a harder rockin, yet poppier Brandi Carlile (is that how she spells her last name?). Their full album is cool, but I prefer their latest ep Stages. Go get it now! It's only, like, 2 bucks on ITunes or something. They opened up for Eisley which is another AMAZING band. Damn-they were just awesome live. Very melodic, progressive and, well, I mean-not to be so base or anything, but the three girls in the band are adorably pretty. Wowee. And, their vocal harmonies are out of this world. Seriously. It's like they're angels or something. And their songs are very unique. No one else sounds like them-save for Sixpence None The Richer, but that is so unfair fair. The more you listen to Sixpence and Eisley, the differences in their songwriting become easily apparent. I love Sixpence too by the way-too bad they broke up. What the hell was Leah (or it it Lea) thinking? Divine Discontent was just an amazing album and now she puts out this solo album that's pretty good but oh-so-typical-pop. Ugh. I wonder what Matt Slocum is up to these days? Anyways, also saw Dream Theater and a band named Opeth a while back. I'm not a huge fan of cookie monster metal-you know, the metal bands with the singers who sound like their growling the whole time? Not too into that at all. But, this band, Opeth (NOT Oteph which is another band) has a great album called "Damnation." The song that blew me away live was "In My Time Of Need" which is just beautiful...I'm not sure if you would like the whole album but that one song is gorgeous. Go gamble 99 cents and get it from ITunes. I'm curious to get your take on it. Anyways, Opeth has a lot of death metal in them-but that one album is totally different and very cool. Plus, the singer has an amazing voice. I love being blown by a band that plays a style of music I don't typically like. Anyways, how is it over there on your side of the world? How is the job? 8:42 p.m. - 2008-05-19 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hold your fire, keep it burning bright OK. 9:18 p.m. - 2008-02-14 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Over the hills and far away Listening to Paz, and feeling very quiet. What I'm looking for is home. Some sort of family. Friends that don't require any sort of guard. A culture that fits loosely yet still manages to drape across the shoulders well. I've no idea where to look. 8:56 p.m. - 2008-01-21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the glory of strangers Someone tried to kill me in my dreams last night. And I found protection in a group of strangers who clearly wanted to save me, even though their interest in my well-being never was clear. 8:54 p.m. - 2008-01-21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And I say this with complete sincerity Happy happy, joy joy everyone! 5:41 p.m. - 2007-12-24 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Early Christmas I found two friends I thought I had lost for good this past week. 8:50 p.m. - 2007-12-17 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enough reality check: Paris Hilton is so not that hot. I wish we'd get over our fascination with her skinny-ass. 7:15 a.m. - 2007-12-14 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heave! Excuse me, I can't breathe because of all this shit on my chest. To those who called for the execution of a teacher because her class named a teddy bear Mohammed: FUCK YOU. Thankfully, the president of Sudan isn't nearly as fucking stupid as some of the country's residents. I mean-you gotta be fucking kidding right? Is this what your religion advocates? Virtual Gifts: Are you serious? If you have that much extra money to throw down the gutter, then at least let a homeless person pick it up. Dear Lord. How extravagant can we get? Megan Meier: Jesus-can it get any more tragic than this? The Golden Compass: Oh no! All our kids will become atheists! Quick! Let's raise a big-ass stink about it so the movie can get even more publicity! It's just a movie, people. If you don't like it, then don't let your kids see it. Fucking dumbasses. Hell, just listening to Bush speak is enough to make me doubt the existence of God. The Democratic candidates: Jesus-we need a legitimate third party NOT affiliated in any form with Ralph Nader. The Republican candidates: Jesus-we need a third party that doesn't come pre-packaged with Mr. Nader. You've done some great work, sir-but you're part of the reason why Bush is in power now and for that, you deserve a teaching job in Sudan, asshole. OK-I feel a little better. Now, if I can finally get over this flu. 8:04 a.m. - 2007-12-04 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's just the flu, damnit! Despite a lingering illness that refuses to go away, I'm determined to make December the damn giddy month that it should be. 7:32 a.m. - 2007-12-04 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just wonderin' So. Ummm...it's almost midnight, the day after thanksgiving. What are you doing? 11:46 p.m. - 2007-11-23 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chasing some sort of light Downtown Santa Barbara reeks of ocean salt and twenty-something hormones. "I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor, Toodles. 12:37 a.m. - 2007-11-16 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hey! look at how sexy I am! Hey! where ya goin? Ya know, I was really kind of into the new Tori single. I though that maybe, just maybe, she's gotten back to actually writing some listenable melodies again (the kind that dripped thick like molasses throughout "Little Earthquakes" and "Under The Pink" ). 5:49 p.m. - 2007-11-03 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not quite lucid enough for any sort of Legibility The deed came about in the most cat-like way. And, then, matters of health came up. And, well, now it is. And that's a wonderful thing. 6:12 p.m. - 2007-10-06 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
