Fuck computers. I keep writing long entries and keep accidentally getting them deleted w/o being able to recover them. It's horse-shit I tell you.
Long story short:
I had a shit day at work because something happened that struck a very personal problem for me. I was so upset (and this is at like 1 AM on a saturday on a rainy night) that I decided to walk home from The Village. When I was crossing over the Williamsburg Bridge, I came across somebody playing drums. I thought that was cool and I asked him what made him decide to bring a drumset onto the bridge. His answer was plainly, "Well, I took a nap this afternoon so I knew I'd be up until 4 in the morning. I wanted to practice, but I'm between studios right now. So I just thought I'd bring my drumset here and jam out on the bridge. It's been fun."
This was the first time he'd ever done it. We talked for a while and exchanged info. He's gonna send me a text message any time he goes to practice on the bridge again. Hopefully I'll get to bring my camera up there, cuz the view is awesome at night, especially after rain.
Anyway, that did a 180 on my mood. I didn't tell him, but i should have - I sleep better at night knowing that there are people like that out there in the world. He's not somebody who does things to be different. He just IS different and doesn't think twice about it. He just knows what he loves and that's what motivates him. A smile never left his face the entire time I was there.

what im referring to is the dingy space that you rehearse with your band in. in swedish there is one word for that and another for studio, which is why its so confusing hearing people in english talking about theri studios all the time when there is infact no recording equiptment in the place.
i'm not the best letter writer either. i used to be as a kid - i had tons of penpals.
incase you decide to leave then the best bet would be keeping up on flickr is my guess. but do you blog anywhere else than here?
thank you for your feedback on the set! xx
that view of the ocean is from fairly near my house, yes. well, it's definitely a bike ride away. beaches everywhere, to the north anyhow. i'm closer to another body of water than that one.
i would love to come across someone drumming on a bridge - oh how cool!
