It makes me happy that you've started using this again- I've been thinking of it, I had a blog on blogspot that never really got off the ground, but you know it's nice to take yourself seriously and it's hard to do when you write publicly adn alone btu even to one other friend of like mind it takes on all the seriousness you need. this is great. this is great. this is great. this is great ( ... )

i agree about the visual art thing. art made-for-museums is what i call it. it really has to fight and struggle and try real hard to be original and meaningful. music doesnt have to do that as much, but it has a different context. yyou dont have to listen to like a nifty tune, say an indy-rock stye rip off of a 60's band, in a specific context. so if its sounds nice on the radio, that's fine. but with the art made-for-museums it has to have so many qualifications so its so easy to turn into something pretentious or other times really really esoteric. images are everywhere, and the pretty ones that dont do anything new are pretty much for advertisements and the other sludge of the marketing industry.

my introspection pales in comparison to yours. it always bothered me when you would pour your heart out about yourself and i would have nothing to say for myself. am i that unexamined, or am i merely quietly content with myself? i ask this now because in five minutes i will be thinking about other things. i miss our long talks already jacob. this summer is remarkably companionless.

well i'm also in a place that prompts reflection- i feel almost bad if i have a day where i just peacefully do chores, every day has to be another drawn out thought. i'm going to be back soon enough, its surprising, i wanted to start dating this girl and i realized theres only a fortnight left. i'll see you in cville, we'll go to sleepy hollow and walk arouind
