"The comfort of a knowledge of a rise above the sky above could never parallel the challenge of an acquisition in the here and now, here and now . . ."

Been singing it in my head all fucking day. I hope it's in yours now.

Smooches.

Found the new Paramore and Tegan & Sara albums out in the scary world of the internet. Needless to say both albums are quite good and I will purchase them when they are officially released! "Icky Thump" by the White Stripes is another goodie!

Watched "Music and Lyrics" last night and was pleasantly surprised by it. I'd recommend it . . .

Gotta love Bealls . . . killers finds this fine Friday evening:

1) "Clerks X" the 10th anniversary edition of one of my favorite flicks

Funny and
unfortunate how our lives
changed, I still
know nothing about

Yesterday
or the meaning of the words
uttered beneath your smile

As stated in my survey entry, I got a blue Nano for Christmas. Holds 1,000 songs. What to fill it with?

Growing up on Long Island, we had WLIR which became WDRE--the holy grail of radio stations. The best music was played on DRE. I pride myself on being somewhat of a music snob of the alternative scene. I thought back of times spent in...

I am drunk.

The world is spinning as I type. Morrissey is singing "ask me ask me ask me," and I just want to sing along but everyone in the house is asleep.

My mouth is throbbing. A decade-old molar problem has gotten a lot worse. I picked up some temporary filling shit, but that's not going to solve the long-term trouble I've neglected for...

Heheheheheh . . . a cause I can stand behind.

I-Bar. Oh how I've missed you . . . My dearest friend Jen came down from Ohio with her beau and we hung last night. Been too fuckin' long since her & I were in the same state together. We danced to Duran, swooned to Moz and stomped to Ministry!!! Good times really. The scene is still alive and well out there--the hipsters were still...

Got to hug on Chris Carrabba's mum tonight at the second Dashboard Confessional show. I was singing along obnoxiously and the lady in front of me would turn back as I was going at it . . . I told her I hoped my son was gonna be as talented as hers. She told me I was sweet. During the last song "Hands Down," she...

Mitch Hedberg.
Fuckin' brilliant.
That's that . . .

She's Lost Control--Joy Division

Confusion in her eyes that says it all
She's lost control
And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by
She's lost control
And she gave away the secrets of her past and said
I've lost control again
And of a voice that told her when and where to act, she said
I've lost control again

And she turned to me and took...
