WHAT IS IT ABOUT BAD BANDS THAT MAKES THEM SO BAD?

"Among those who witness Noh plays, the connoisseurs see with their minds, while the untutored see with their eyes. What the mind sees is the essence; what the eyes see is the performance. That is why beginners, seeing only the performance, imitate it. They imitate without knowing the principles behind the performance. There are,...

FROM THE PRIEST MONGAKU TO SHOGUN W.

My toilet seat broke this morning. I'm so fat.

"There are none more despicable than those who change their colors. There are none more loyal than those who tell you your faults. I pray Your Highness to remember this. Even if a man is agreeable and likable, beware of him if he is a cheat. But if there...

THIS LITTLE FACT IS OF GREAT SIGNIFICANCE

I am not pleased with the way my past has been abusing my present. I am currently working to beat it into quiet submission. Past actions only become regrets when they are treated as enemies. As my regrets come hurdling recklessly toward me from behind, blunt, stupid, and soulless, I will turn to them with my arms outstretched;...

I shaved my beard, bought some new shoes, and found a few more good things to put in a box I've been trying to fill for a few years now.

I'm a changed man.

I also saw Bill Eggleston in the Real World, a documentary about Memphis photographer Bill Eggleston. Bill was roundly dismissed by critics of his first major exhibit in the 70's...

I was this close to being offended by your comment, but then I remembered how in love you are with Justin Timberlake...how you want to marry him and have all his JT clone babies...kissykisskisskiss. And also, how, like me, you have a love-hate thing with Japan, so really you don't want to be stuck in a typhoon, even though you say you do.

::GASP::

Why isn't JT under your current crush anymore?!?!
bunny:
P.S. I love Bill Eggleston, too.

Also, your last entry was so beautiful I shed a left-eyed tear.

BOXES, UNFILLED

Okay: a melody is like a box. Build it carefully, like icing a cake or closing the bedroom door when someone is sleeping. Make it smoothe and pleasing to the senses. And when you finally come to the end of it, make sure it connects back firmly to the beginning: a box with three sides won't hold much.

Once your melody...

Thanks for saying "you're" instead of "your"!!!!!
twinkie:
Was this entry here before and I didn't read it?

I feel the same about my writing. Turning a phrase is useless if you don't have meaningful things to add to the world.

Creativity is a bitch.

YOU CAN'T FIRE ME: I QUIT!

"Powerless against what has been done, [the will] is an angry spectator to all that is past. The will cannot will backwards; and that he cannot break time and time's covetousness, that is the will's loneliest melancholy. [To free itself, the will must] recreate all 'it was' into 'thus I willed it.'"
--Friedrich Nietzsche

Now I see: my will...

SOUND AS TIME TRAVEL AND PARANORMAL CONNECTOR

My parents want to buy us (me and my brother) a queen-size fold-out sofa. Upon measuring, we have discovered that our living room just so happens to be about the size of a queen-size fold-out sofa. As they say, "Nothing is so expensive as a free thing."

We live in a big West Indian neighborhood, and there's a...

ANXIETY GENERATOR

Yesterday I bought some blue tack and put up all my posters, plus a few things from my huge fucking stack of incoherently organized photographs.

I almost never take pictures. All the pictures I own were taken by Japanese friends, who are excellent about taking pictures of all memorable events, developnig the pictures in a timely fashion, and then making copies for all...

You know I have always been a libertine at heart. Winkity, wink, wink.

I am too lazy/exhausted to go into the whole boludo/boluda thing, ask me next time we talk. Um. Fuck, I'm tired. But also happy...I think I have found a place to live! Woohoo! I am working on a big update, so you have that to look forward to.

Les Savy Fav were excellent as always, but the crowd was lame. The moment the band started palying, everyone started moshing. Moshing. How do you mosh to disco music? Thanks for ruining it for everyone who came to dance.

Now I'm at work on a Sunday to make some extra hours, but the database isn't working and there's no one to help me. What a...

'Lo my li'l rockstar bunny. Um, I obviously didn't tell you about my evil alien bugbite from hell. It's NASTY, yo, and I don't know where the hell it came from. I don't think it was mukade, but I did find one in my bed one night, so, I'm not ruling it out. No, this is something like maybe some creature laid it's eggs in my belly. Mmmmm. I don't mind spiders, so much, but those fucking roaches man...some Nanzan peeps are coming all the way from Tokyo/Nagoya to see our show on 9/3, it's gonna be so rad.

But don't cross me.
