And now people just get uglier
And I have no sense of time"
I am very very confused
i've taken tests
taken naps
and eaten food
but i don't know when, where, how, or in what order

and i'm home at last
Walking along at 3am, down the middle of the street....
life doesn't always seem real when you're alone. just conversation from drug dealers and prostitutes, not conversation really at all
wondering if things really happened at all
you and the pavement
you and a card table
you and the your own logic
you and a greyhound bus
you and well nevermind
the room is warm and stuffy and my belly is full of pizza
"going to bed with a gun in my mouth
fast asleep when the stars come out"

walked around for a long time today
street festivals, i get distracted and nostalgic and not too sad but sad enough
it's early, i'm antsy--nowhere to go and nothing to do
should be studying, but that's pretty much impossible

tonight, i went to the movies w/ tim hutton
we saw:
dogtown and z boys
it is very good and enjoyable, etc. it teaches you just how awesome southern california can be
you know, and sean penn is the narrator

i really wanted to make a taco bell run--
but i don't have any money
*insufficient funds*
I refuse to use a credit card at taco bell, i think if you do that your name is given to the FBI or something--it probably should be
denied the simple pleasures in life like gorditas and maybe even a chicken quesedilla
I find myself counting dimes and confusing the guy who works at the deli, he looks a lot like saddam hussein
luckily, i had enough change to buy a 2 liter and a bag of chips
some dude down in the courtyard with a broad-brimmed hat, a cigar and trenchcoat....talking about graduate school
makes you want to dig a hole in the ground and climb right on in

a funny thing happened this evening..
well, the fire alarm went off and displaced me from my room
so, i'm wandering around and wondering what to do.
some kind of malfunction, i guess.......then i see my good buddy yoni and we bum around. We walk by the strand bookstore and see a crowd of people and some cops and a video camera....what's going on?
michael jackson is in the store
oh
I stand around and wait a while and then a limo pulls up, the cops make a path and michael jackson (the king of pop, not the wide receiver) scurries out, and jumps into the limo
he poked his little head out and gave a wave
kind of creepy
but very funny
not everyday you get to see michael jackson

"So many ways
I never found
To make you stay
Just one more day"
Oh, my misfortune is a just a murmur in the pipes
music for the spiders and mice
revenue for coca-cola
just another sad tale that doesn't need to be told
I was just saying.....
seems impossible that last summer was almost a year ago
so much fun was had
and the bad parts seem
like the Alps
in retrospect
a day on the couch in early August
seems much better than countless days
spent under the covers in an empty room
in the winter, nonetheless
Too bad early adulthood is not the time for repeat performances. Too bad I went to school this spring. I really hope my bowling game isn't in shambles
congratulations to the delivery guy at the Young Chow. He won some money on instant lotto tickets today.

got through jamming to the latest cracker album
man oh man is it a good one
makes me want to split a six pack w/ a good buddy on a humid night in July....sittin out on a porch ramblin about something or other
i hope i've paid a lot of dues over the past year
if i haven't....
i shudder to think what it must really feel like
so many places i want to be--none of them here or now, though

i order whatever i see on the tray...because i want to make life as easy as possible for the unfortunate african immigrants who have to work there
McDonalds in other places....i don't mind watching comfortably situated high school kids scurry around
conclusion: i am racist

this morning, up at the cloisters, me and giberman saw a text-book car fire

but most of all....she was thinkin' bout the Jack of Hearts
I'm busy with my new
preoccupation
which is trying to keep myself
preoccupied
a hard thing to do
when you're all broken up inside
cooking is good because it can take up a good chunk of time and still feel productive. except when, like today, you accidentally pour boiling water on your hand
I need to play a lot of video games, read a lot and maybe even go to class if keeps my mind turning
you gotta keep waiting for the cavalry, waiting, waiting
until you run out of rifle rounds,
pull the six shooters from your belt
and go down firing
today i learned that elephants are awesome, i can't wait until summer when i can flip between baseball and the discovery channel--grrrrr, but now all those stupid detective shows.....i just want to watch plain old animals, not human animals
so, i'm reading about the committee of public safety, it's a good book because it was written during the WW2. it's actually a history and not just a speculative psychoanalysis of eastern european pole vaulters and the role they played in independence movements.
although, i might read that book too, only if were under 300 pages though
to remind myself, Paul Westerberg will be at the virgin mega store at union square on April 28

1 show, 2 diners and a lot of video game playing.......now i'm back in my 3rd floor cave
the 2nd joe strummer show--pretty much the same songs but in different order and rocked out twice as hard
but but but but.......
two amazing additions, both in the encore
1)Bankrobber
and
#2 needs some explaining. for the recent album, the mescaleros acquired mr. tymon dogg, an expert fiddler.
this got me thinking.......hrrmmmm...didn't i remember seeing the credit (T. Dogg) for the song "lose this skin" on sandinista? must be the same guy....and it is.
so, the first encore song, he walks up to the mic, looking much like bilbo baggins and begins to wail..."come with me I won't hide......"
awesome
and that's some mighty fine fiddlin'

| just a little confused? |
[03 Apr 2002|11:15am] |
well, i've eaten too much cheese
and i thought you could never eat too much cheese. maybe it was the mixing of meat and dairy. has anyone ever tried the dairy feast? i'd like to try the dairy feast
was up all night studying for the art test today--i think it went relatively well, no major problems
only, now my head is all screwed around.....these days it just seems like "i'm either waking up or going to sleep"
man alive, it is warm today--i think it is in the 70's or something. Nothing in the world like the smell of warm warm garbage

nada surf opened for joe strummer
and yes, i just checked it, the same nada surf who did "popular"
i have no idea--but they were good and didn't sound anything at all like that band
and they looked too young--oh well, no complaints

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
Tuesday, April 2
Brooklyn, NY
It would be ridiculous to try and do this show justice or do joe strummer justice. so, just a few words
who was there: i appeared to be one of the youngest people, older folks mostly but really into it
otherwise: 1 guy w/ green spikes
1 rudeboy
highlights: from the new album, johnny appleseed and bummed out city are killer--a guitar/fiddle jam session
clash gems: junco partner and.......jorge, i did think of you.....white man in hammersmith palais....a crowd sing a long for sure
hmm...what else.....the harder they come--can't miss w/ that one
the pinnacle: pressure drop followed immediately by police on my back
me and tim hutton were about 15 feet from stage at the back edge of the rowdiness and had to push back a pack of 30 something businessmen as we jumped around, one of them glared back at us
that was a laugh
the encore: yallla yalla
then,
who knew strummer did lou reed? hey, babe, take a walk on the wild side
to top it off:
blitzkrieg bop
happy, tired and drenched in sweat

but this afternoon
I actually did get lost in the supermarket
maybe the doot doo doo music, varying prices and narrow aisles are meant to confuse you and make you buy more food?
I ended up w/ cheese and crackers and some onion bagels and not much else
but it was fun to wander around by myself and listen to the guys talking to each other behind the fish counter
hmmm.....fish counter, maybe i could do that job...not in the supermarket, but in a lake or river....one trout two trout three trout and four
i came in here for the special offer--guaranteed personality

urgency
