you guys are all really sweet. i guess life has been really crazy for me for the past 2 years and i've been all over the place mentally and also with my living situation. now that things are setling down, maybe i can do a couple more sets. any ideas...
anyone?

i just got back from the east coast, some unfortunate family stuff to deal with. so, i'm just sitting decompressing listening to the slits. i want to make a new outfit for this art opening in SF tonight, so i've pulled out all my magazines and i'm trying to piece ideas together. i should be paying my bills and rent. oh well.

CAT CLUB 8TH & FOLSOM


i just got the sticky fingers record again
sooooooooooooo good. i can't stop loving sad sad songs. ever since i was little one of my favorite things is to hide out in my room with a bunch of gut wrenching lyrics and songs. i never knew until this year how amazing bruce springstein is at writing songs...check out the record nebraska

does anyone know if the elliot smith shrine is still there (in LA)?

anyone tell me what books you're reading right now.....
records?
i need inspiration.

god, has it been three months since i've written? i guess i've been busy moving about the country. i had to get out of new york...the heat and nightly crack dealer fights outside my window got to be tiresome.
getting back to san francisco felt real good. i always miss eating bagels in dolores park and riding bikes over to third street. i got this bitchin new truck in portland and drove it down the 101 to check out places to live in the woods. i'm a little nervous about the isolation, but it will be a good place to put myself back together after this crazy, fucked up year.
books, bikes, and vegan food in the cuts...

it's weird, my friend katie was looking at my pictures and said they don't really look like me. it's totally overdue to come out with some new pictures. i guess i'll have to get my hot little hands on a digital camera.
it's oppresively hot here today, all i can do is sit in my underwear and drink lemon water.
today i miss portland pretty bad. if i were there i would be waking up, "acquiring" some food from natures, making a big pitcher of gin&limeade, and driving out to the washugal river. then i would come home, shove a 12 pack in my bike bag, and ride bikes to sunken ship, and party happily ever after into the sun set....

god...i've been nursing the gnarliest hangover for like 12 hours today. colt 45's a bitch. i guess all the rain in new york is keeping me in a drinking state of mind...a little reminiscent of pdx. i found a rad bmx in fort greene park it's my little treasure-i want to paint it flat black and tape a radio to the front. new york has been ok so far, although having no cash makes it a bit hard to be out and about all the time. this week i went to the metropolitan museum and saw lucien freud paintings, a dali i wanted so badly to steal, and lots of weird folk art hidden upstairs in glass cases. i really like flat two dimensional paintings, i guess it makes humans seem a little less real and therefore less terrifying. i walked part way through central park, had a bagel with vegan cream cheese, went grocery shopping in china town and made an amazing peanut stir fry. i went to sweetwaters to have a beer and listen to some punk music in a dimly lit area, but it was movie night, so i rode bikes with my beautiful friend meghan and we sat on the curb and held hands watching cute kids walking by for awhile. i was thinking that the lack of summer was inhibiting magic moments, but i just forgot to make them happen...

hey y'all...so here i am, back on the east coast. i went to coney island today and walked around in a thunder storm and made a short movie with a bunch of portland kids. it's been kind of day by day for me, sometimes being back on the east coast makes me feel crazy, but sometimes it's totally inspiring.
i miss riding bikes and having bbq's wih tons of kids, but someone is always doing something amazing here and it makes me feel alive on the good days. sanity comes and goes, but what else is new. i really miss a few faces in pdx (luke...dylan)
i guess i'm here indefinitely cause i don't have a return ticket. can i handle an east coast winter?

so, i'm leaving for new york for 2 months and i am hiding away on my last day here. i guess i hate the pressure of saying bye to people when i'm going to be back before they even know it. i'm excited to be in consistantly warm weather and to be around passionate, motivated individuals. i also get to go visit family in rhode island, and just sit on the beach.
i'm going to new york with $75-it should be interesting. i guess i need to get a job there. even though portlands feeling washed out now, i know i'll miss it...
