Hello SG!!! Sorry for the long absence. I may have to break my vow to never pay for internet and get WiFi at home, instead of being an internet bandit, like I am right now.
It's been a crazy month, and more of those to come. To bring you up to speed:
The violinist I mentioned before came up here, and we had a great...

I would really love to shoot you again -- how about we pow-wow over a date for the New Year? If you come up with the amazing location -- I will come up with the time and camera. Deal?
milloux:
You really are the coolest.
I just got done freezing my IBTs off in East Harlem, i.e. figure modeling. Soooo over winter.
One of my bands was featured on NPR last month, on All Things Considered!

Unfortunately I couldn't make the taping. I was probably rehearsing with another band or busking or jerking off or something.

An unsettled life is the best kind of life. Trust me.
I don't exactly have good luck in the romantic department either. Though I've never been in a band, I've never played well with others--especially in a creative atmosphere. I'm more of a lone wolf.
I also hate wrinkled foods.
I've broken two bones in my left arm, and had a few cavities.
I have three half-siblings (yes, that's right, they aren't all there).
I too have had my share of odd jobs.

All artists are unsettled or should be if they stay connected to their utopia!!!
Don't give up. It is so nice to hear from you...

Hot heat and no joy, got to love that.why are you sleep deprived?

I'm always sleep-deprived. My new thing is being so scared that I'll sleep through my alarm that I just never fall asleep :p
If you haven't checked out my music page yet (Accordionasty), here is a sneak peek. A video shot by a subway fan:
St. James Infirmary (with a bit of Chopin thrown in at the end). Unfortunately, you don't get the full stereo effect so integral to the awesomeness that is Accordion, because the dude was by my treble side. But I like the...

Hot girls with accordions make me weak in the knees, eh.
I irritate the folks at work frequently by playing polka on the stereo. I own an accordion, but have no clue what I'm doing on it.....but, goddamn is it fun to just strap it on and make a fuckton of fun noise.

Arrrr, I was embarking on a nice long blog entry when I accidentally hit the back button, and all the magic was gone. But just wanted to check in, and say thanks for all the comments, email, friend requests, from my first set (which is still in MR, if you haven't checked it out yet!) As I've mentioned before, I don't have a computer or...

I'd die for a _porkchop_ right about now.

Your reference to Poliphilo's Strife of Love in a Dream, reminded me of Dante.
Midway through the journey of our life, I found
myself in a dark wood, for I had strayed
from the straight pathway to this tangled ground.
Dreams, sleep, and love.

From the most accurate source in the world, Wikipedia:
Street performance or busking is the practice of performing in public places for money. People engaging in this practice are called street performers, buskers, street musicians, minstrels, or troubadours.
When this is your primary occupation, even the most banal nights usually have something memorable to report. This exchange from earlier this afternoon:

Welcome to Hell, here's your accordion.
Hello everyone. Porkchop here.
Wait, wha? Porkchop? Huh?
(disclaimer: boner-killing story ahead)
So my Grandpa nicknamed me Porkchop when I was really young. When I was older, I asked my mom why, and she said "You liked to eat porkchops when you were a kid. A lot". Makes sense. Good thing I wasn't into eating douchebags, assfaces, or shitheads....

Add a concertina to your musical armament. No more self-induced mammograms, but still, take care ... pinching may continue, but down a bit lower.
