...and keeping my fingers crossed....
UPDATE:
What is this place we live in. Who are the people that don't get how awful 4 more years of Shrub is. I wish there was somewhere I could live that reflected my values, but ultimately there's nowhere to go but home. I know the race isn't quite over yet, but how was there ever a race...

I am SOO slammed right now. I'm leaving my job in a three weeks and my replacement may not actually have what it takes to do the job. EEEK!! While this is going on we are also dealing with insane record company politics and I'm working 16 hour days all when I had hoped to be winding down my job. It's always so dramatic.

and I am glad! thank you!
rosemarie:
I saw someone at the diner yesterday who looked just like you. He smiled alot, so I thought it was you, but I know you would've said hi. And I know you're in LA anyway. I guess he was just a happy person.
Anyway, good morning.
Anyway, good morning.
Looking forward to a lovely weekend with a trip out to Joshua Tree and then Pioneertown for the Gram Rabbit cd release party. It should be a good time for all. Sunday I'll try to catch some of Sunset Junction over in Silverlake. The fun never ends. Every awake moment of my life is pretty much booked for another two weeks. Some of it is...

I am truly frustrated with myself right now. What kind of guitar player could I be if I had practiced with any regularity for the last 5 years. I can barely play songs that I wrote. WTF 
I am playing for my friend's wedding and as I practice these songs I see just how far I am from when I was playing out regularly. I...

i wonder the same thing about so many things.. piano, writing, yoga, etc. the only thing i've ever found is that it's NOT TOO LATE to start again. the past's the past, and you can't do anything about it, so you can just use the disappointment to power your ascendence to guitar greatness!
i know that doesn't help much with the visceral part of the disappointment, though. there's no solution to that, that i know of..

It was nice to meet you Monday night. I'm sorry we didn't have more chance to talk. Soon again we shall meet.. and apparently, possibly eat!
I met the lovely artchick tonight at a friend's birthday party and had an awesome conversation with her only...she doesn't realize yet that we're both on SG. So when you do make you're way here, I gotta say I had a good time talkin' and what little I've looked at your site, I'd say your work is great.
Otherwise, life is the same beautiful mess...

thanks for the pirates!
big times, big movements, big stuff...how are you doing in your journeys through the web?
btw...you HAVE got to see "what the @#$% do we know". cheezy subplots and special effects aside, you would TOTALLY dig it.
what the bleep

random run ins are nice.
My favorite album lately has been the sweet, soothing "Greetings from Michigan" by Sufjan Stevens. Yesterday I was flipping through the LA Weekly and saw that he was playing in about two hours so I went. It was such an interesting, beautiful show. Kinda bizarre too since the album he's touring for is an ode to his homestate of Michigan. It's sort of this...

Whatever?
Anyway, thanks for the encouragement, you're a real sweetheart. And I will be an SG eventually; it's just a matter of time.

I'm having to split with my girlfriend. Even though I love her, I'm not IN Love with her and so somehow it seems like the right thing to do in the long run....but I miss her, and I think I've alienated her forever
les:
awww, *huggle* sounds like you know what you're doing, and good for you for doing it. I think sometimes people stay in relationships just because they're scared or they don't know how to break it off, and in the long run it's horrible for everyone involved. So good for you, I say, for being man enough to shoulder up to it.
Happy thoughts your way.

if there IS a bright side, you're single now!! And entitled to all that comes with that. No, it doesn't have to be dunken, sobbing masturbation. Mebbe a fling or several with hot young waitresses. 
time to double up on those peaceful visualizations.
Besides, he's to finish what he started. He wouldn't have started it in the first place if it wasn't for their assassination attempt against his father and possible inside sources revealing an assassination attempt on him. They were shown up when they couldn't kill dad.
And for more on Kerry: My uncle is a small aircraft pilot in the British Virgin Islands. He told me not to vote for Kerry because Kerry is an asshole, bosses him around, and makes illegal deals with other people. He wouldn't have any reason to lie, I figure, since he can't vote anyways.
