Wait Wait Stop

I’m lost. The comfort I usually find in your words is gone. I hope you find me while there is still something left.

To Be Of Use.

The people I love the best jump into work head first without dallying in the shallows and swim off with sure strokes almost out of sight. They seem to become natives of that element, the black sleek heads of seals bouncing like half-submerged balls. I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cart, who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience, who strain in the mud and the...

I really love this description/analysis of ones relationship with booze. Visit the link to read more of this persons stuff. I am not an alcoholic. I come from a line of them so long that my DNA is heavily pickled, but I am not an alcoholic. I periodically abuse alcohol, but am capable of drinking it normally without fear of going on a bender. I can go for months or years without it. But...

I dreamt about you today.

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on the side of the fence you want to claim, it wasnt at all torrid. We were just close friends. We hung out, did close friends things we had a blast. Actually, we did stuff I imagine you doing. I was kind of out of place in my own dream. The weird part is that we have never been close friends. I guess technically you are an acquaintance. But the thing...

Just a leaf.

The other night over drinks a friend described me in a way that I thought was pretty accurate. This friend is relatively new and thus it surprised me a bit at how accurate it was. Maybe I shouldnt be, maybe I am easy to read. His description: “You are a leaf, that lands in a stream and follows it not disturbing it as it flows along. Not worried where its going, just enjoying the...

The Situation is a Ruse

I contemplate the situation as I grab the yoke. My ability to steer this thing is an obvious ruse. These wheels are attached to a track laid by someone else, I am just along for the ride. I think I will follow Jim’s advise and sit back and watch the whole thing burn.

The birth of uncool.

The other day i got a phone call from the ABQ Journal stating they were doing an article on what makes cool, cool. And that they had been given my number. While doing a phone interview about what is cool, seemed inherently uncool I went along with it. Because, well why not.

Am I Awesome?

So back in the day Jack and I had this idea to do a single serving site telling people they were awesome. So I snagged the URL and threw up amiawesome.com. It was mostly just a fun thing to do and took less then 15 minutes and it lost is shine and we moved on. Well many many moons later it seems that the single serving site meme is still around and amiawesome.com is mentioned many time. Today...

Things never get any easier.

Some people might argue with me on this one, but as usual I know you will come around. Things don’t ever get easier. “But you get better at them making them seem easier.” one might say. “Humbug.” I would respond. For that argument to be true, you would have to assume that there are no other levels to a given task to achieve. I will give you a real world example. ...

We all know texting while driving is bad. Well here is an article about how bad it is featuring a photo of me texting, while the driver is texting, while we are interviewing random passangers, while driving around the over crowded downtown streets of Austin during SXSW.

A young man's game.

I told you my dreams, “You are playing a young man’s game.” you said. But I didn’t mind I knew you didn’t mean no harm.

Summer is here and I am tired of this town again.

This weekend I went to Denver to see Wilco. What I came home with was a renewed fire to find a new place to live. I have such great ties to Albuquerque, its home. Its where my friends are. Its where my family is. However is just dont find it interesting anymore. There is nothing new to do here. I have walked the same 6-7 square blocks of this town for more years then should be allowed.

Sometimes I wonder what my dad would think of me as I get older. What he thought of my childhood dreams. What he would he have said when I told him about my dreams of being a musician. I’m pretty sure he would say something like “You might as well wish you could fly.”.
