One of the things I love about making music is that it's one of the few things in this world that can't be taken away from me. Relationships can end through no fault of my own. I could get laid off from my job without having any say or contributing to it in any way. Even my life can be taken randomly and senselessly. I can write a song that can ( Read more... )

...I'll write an LJ post that is more than just, "Hey, I'm still alive!"

Today is not that day.

Sarah, I need your phone number. Badly.

I had an odd experience at work today. I was told by a co-worker (one of the warehouse guys, who used to be on the sales floor) that I seemed to have no emotions. That's only a paraphrase of what he said with pronouns corrected. That's actually what he said. I joked around with him, saying, "Yeah, I sold my soul a couple of years back. Got a ( Read more... )

...it did not actually snow today in San Francisco. It did hail quite heavilly, to the point of actually covering some of the ground in appleseed-sized ice pellets. I suppose it counts as miraculous weather in a place where the climate has two speeds: "cloudy" and "windy ( Read more... )

I rang in the new year by having my iPod stolen. Merry Christmas, everyone.

I may do periodic updates today. This is my first Christmas both alone and on the West Coast. So far, I'm OK with it. I've got the day off, I've got things to occupy my time, and probably a bunch of holiday phone calls to make. Merry Christmas to all, and all shut the hell up.

It felt like fall for the first time today, here in San Francisco. In a place of few seasons, it's odd to experience something definitively one thing or another.

I saw two movies today: Lord of War and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. It's nice to have my emotions manipulated once again. It's been a while.

I know it's been a while. These days I seem to be slow to respond, but quick to contemplate. For instance, I've adopted a very definite "wait-and-see" attitude with a girl in my life that I think I want to attract, but am not sure how to do it. That doesn't mean that I haven't taken any action on the matter, but rather that I am trying to choose ( Read more... )

Here's a summary of the past month in my life: There is a person living in my house who used to be one of my best friends, but now only talks to me out of social obligation. She'll be leaving within the next two weeks. Personally, I can't wait for her to go, just so I can feel comfortable in my own house again for a short while before someone ( Read more... )

So, who wants to move across the country and in with me? C'mon, don't all speak up at once! One of my roommates is urgently bowing out, which means only opportunity for YOU, the reader! Enjoy the delightful lack of weather, the veritable gumbo of diversity, and one of the highest costs of living in the country. Move into a 2-story, 3-bedroom ( Read more... )
