Neil in Portland, old friends in Fremont, Chelsey's show in SF on the 23

[alonedownthere]

so I arrive in Portland and the first thing that happens is Mark asks me if I want to smoke a bowl. And we haven't even gotten out of the airport yet. guess its gonna be one of those trips. Alex's new house in the woods is amazing. we sit and play guitar in the darkness of his tree shaded bedroom and occasionaly go downstairs for food.

Another thing that pisses me off, aside from your obvious self-reverence, is the title of your page. Beauty is a rare thing? Bullshit. Horeshit. A complete and utter lie that could only be belived by someone so obsessed with appearing deppressed (as you do) that they will say anything that sounds deep, whether or not there's any truth in the statement. Every sunset is beautiful. Every sunsire, too. Every cloud is beatiful. Every smile and wave. Every catchy song. Every good poem or novel. Every personal facial expression. Every bit of off-kilter comedy. Every cloud. Every time a chuckle turns to all out laughter. Everytime you go driving late at night for the sake of driving. Every time the fog rolls in over the city. Every long car trip. Every time you stay up talking until 2 in the morning with a close friend or a complete stranger. Every flower in full bloom. Every attractive girl with whom you share but a fleeting moment of eye contact. Every drop of alchohol that makes you feel just that much warmer

Who is this? I love you!

Actually, "beauty is a rare thing" is a reference to Ornette Coleman's music. And you think I'm melodramatic? look at your sentence "every drop of alochol that makes you that much warmer." That's some serious bullshit. As to the "self reverence?" I am in fact better than you. I am smarter. Faster. Better looking. More talented. And I could probably beat you up. Anyone who wastes their time posting negative comments on someone else's livejournal clearly has no concept of compassion. You think you understand beauty? To end, I'd like to ask why, if you hate me so, have you returned to read more of my entries?
