Yay for happier days!!!! Thank you all for the awesome birthday wishes. Ya'll rock!! As for the knuckleheads at work, I reminded them that they forgot about my birthday and how did they respond? "Why didn't you tell us?" What do you think I had been talking about over the last 2 weeks fucktards!! They felt bad and made an announcement over the intercom in the middle of the day. Nice.
I gots another care package for my birthday from the everawesome Jamielee. Hell, even the box was part of the gift. She had written stuff all over it like "Have an ARRRsome birthday!!!" with a pirate next to it. It took me 10 minutes to read everything before I even opened it. First was the bacon/chocolate in the shape of a flying pig. I don't know what it is about bacon... but it just makes everything tastier. Then I saw a shirt that makes me wish I didn't shave off the mustache. I'll give you a clue. I picked up the shirt and noticed it smelled like chocolate, but not like the flying pig. What was below it? Fudge cookies!!! Homemade no less. Jamielee you rock harder than you know!!! Sorry for the lack of pics but the battery died on my camera and it takes 15 hours to charge... 15!!! Bullshit!
My boy Spooks and I started a Psychobilly band. 3 practices, 3 songs. We work well together. We just need a drummer cause our drummer left GC and wants to work on something more "serious". If only I knew a good drummer...
Concerts: David Byrne is coming at the end of September with Brian Eno. 2 musical geniuses on 1 stage. Only issue, Peelander-Z is playing the same night. If you haven't seen Peelander-Z, do it. well worth the price of admission. The music sux but the show is re-dick-u-lus!!! Brian Setzer canceled his US Christmas tour. This will be the first one I will miss in 4 years. That's OK because it was on the same day the Rev was coming to Nashville. So that one works out. Lewis Black cancelled his dates here too. Fuck!
Dreams: If you keep up with my journals, you know that I have pretty vivid dreams... and I remember everything when I wake up. But I dream in Black & White. Don't know why but I always have. This week followed suit except for Tuesday night. I was walking down a busy street in Spain (where I have never been to) when I cut down a side alley into a small, traditional dance hall. Who should I run into dancing there? The girl I have had a crush on since high school and haven't seen in 12 years. I have mentioned her before long ago in a journal but with everything going on in my life I must have forgotten about her. Anyway, here is where it gets odd. Everything is B&W (like always) except I can see the vivid red and brown in her dress, the way the light brought out the shine of her light brown hair and her green eyes. I could see her face like she was standing in front of me right now. She ran up and gave me a hug and I remember the smell of her hair. She led me out of the hall and back into the streets. She kept asking me to follow her somewhere (yes, her voice was spot on too). Of course I kept following her and as we got to a large wooden door like you would find going into a church or medieval hall. I then woke up. Somehow, my brain had reconstituted every image, every situation, every conversation I ever had with her and brought it to the front of my brain and assembled it into a functional dream. I know she is currently teaching dance in Spain, I know the last picture I saw of her she was in a brown and red dress and she is religious which might explain the church doors. But why was she (partially) in color? Why do I remember the smell of her hair? I know smell is most associated with memory but that is random. And from 12 years ago? I may need a shrink for this one. When I woke up I immediately had a song stuck in my head. It always reminds me of her...
This song is a guilty pleasure of mine. Call me what you will but this song moves me. Do you have a song like that? Post it for all to witness.
