good times
wow, we’re on a roll. Andy is cranking out new tracks, I’m writing new songs, walking around all day in a daze trying to find a better rhyme, trying to say something not in the usual way I would say it. I try to draw from my life but my life is kinda boring. fortunately my boring life produces an enormous amount of extremely intense emotion. so I try to draw from that, let it slosh around inside my memory until it carves out some kind of fiction that can contain it. ironically (or not), that fiction often ends up sounding a lot like my life. (and that, my friends, is not an easy thing to explain to the people around me). oh well. let the good times roll!
meanwhile, I’m going to Europe, seeing some friends and doing a little business in France & Germany. won’t be there long, just long enough to get completely addicted to the 8-espresso-shot/day lifestyle. can’t wait. I’ll try to tweet but am uncertain about access.
happy new year everyone!

i totally relate.. its kinda hard to write lyrics when your relatively happy in life.. i’ve learned to write about shit from the perspective of the mythology of life.. as in.. what someone who saw myself from the outside, who didn’t know me.. just observed certain events would think.. kinda gets the creative juices flowing and lets me sometimes tell a better story that way.
Wow, Europe, that would be cool. I’ve never even been west of St. Louis. How sad! Be safe and bring me back something cool 
I actually “lol”-ed when you stuck your pick in your mouth. It’s the natural place to hold your pick! I can’t imagine how many times I’ve stuck my pick in my mouth.
I also really relate to “not an easy thing to explain to the people around me.” The kind of twisted things that slosh up for me I think often worries people.
Wow, I’d really love to have your slosh problems…. I should be so lucky! Can’t wait to hear the final results. You should be back from Europe by now, any gigs in the SF Bay Area soon? You know you want to!
