Hitch hiking from shizuoaka to Kyoto, I got picked up by a couple who play traditional Japanese music. Their name is Ho-Tsu-Ma which is a Shintoist(?) ancient book of truths. Canah, the singer was doing guest vocals for a hard rock band named Kabuki, who's basist is the reincarnation of Oda Nobunaga and they took me to see the show in Nagoya. ( Read more... )

I realized something so important about myself today... I am at my most productive the morning after i get hammered. This morning for example i woke up at 9am, showered and did three hours of solid work... and last night i was up to 5am and drunk like a mofo with a swedish guy and a french girl... We finished two bottles of wine and just about a ( Read more... )

In japan when you are sick you where one of those filters you put over your mouth... like when you are gardening or spraying chemicals... so you dont infect other people. Everything around here is very stimulating. I saw jason collett and sam roberts as my last show in new york and my last night i spent at my favorite bar, with my favorite ( Read more... )

got eight minutes... new york, new york. Mostly i've been meeting 35+yr old rockers who play music for a living and have amazing energies and this morning i met a magician who had some really good things to cheer up an intially horribly depressed morning. i know... looks like someone had a case of the mondays... but it started looking up while i ( Read more... )

Kansas has been great. I know, not what you'd expect but... the blues. The blues are fucking incredible here in these basement holes... all-encompassing musical totality. Went to Old Crow Medicine Show which was unbelievable and invigorating and i was all ahoooting. Met some great people, went to a wetland here in Lawrence at midnight (a ( Read more... )

Its been awhile since i've updated and i doubt I could explain the various forces within and without or where i've been for the past two months... or where i'll be in the next four and I don't really care about cohesiveness right now because i just woke up and haven't had coffee though I'm hoping to go to Bons once my lazy friends wake up. I'm ( Read more... )

Did all of that happen in one day? It seems a lifetime ago... How do you describe a mindset, a mindframe, a state of perception, a way of interpreting everything that surrounds you? When your mind is stretching for new comparisons, when a cat on a roof has infinite meanings that you cannot understand and time is against you (and it wasn't even a ( Read more... )

What comes out of a mind on an hour’s sleep? Very little and slowly. But I am thinking -slowly- that if I take a lot of time to write this, I will reveal some truth. Kind of like when you walk down the street, you know, and you trip over like a bottle with a letter inside it. And you smash the bottle in the mailbox slot (so you don’t get glass ( Read more... )

I'm getting very excited because soon i get back to work, and once work is done I'll have money and I get to go away for a long time... The excitement today stemmed from my remembering of a meeting with a certain spy in Puerto Iguazu... It struck me that there will be more spies to meet and possibly other exciting characters (ninjas, pirates, ( Read more... )
