I give in to sin Because you have to make this life livable

Traveling can tire me quickly. Note the lack of any significant updates. Tuesday, the 18th, I flew out to LA early in the AM. On the plane ride over there I broke my watch when trying to use the loo and hitting a fun burst of turbulence. My wrist went flying into the side of the 1x1 spaced area. Luckily the watch protected my wrist, but it cracked

I wish you would've contacted me when you were in LA. I'm happy to hear your show went well. And out of all places, at the Largo. Good place for music. I would've joined you on watching Jon, also. I haven't talked to him in ages. It would've been nice to see you and him.

[teddythompson]

I'm sorry for not contacting. As you see, my thoughts have not all been collected properly. I hope to catch up with you at some point. Though, I try to avoid LA as much as possible.
I adore that you know and appreciate Jon as much as I do.

[jakob_dylan]

No need for apologies. I understand how things are. I try to avoid LA as much as possible myself. Unfortunately it's hard for me since I live in LA. Good thing I choose a career that requires traveling.

Jon is brilliant. He did wonders with the Wallflowers last two previous albums.

When I do catch up with you, I hope to be not out of breath. I tire easily.

I thought that you and your mother were on good terms? I suppose this is not so.

Boston sounds like fun. It would be good for the three of us to spend some time together, learn to be friends again. I have missed your friendship. We did not seem to get much of a chance to speak while in Florida and things were pretty awkward. Yet, I do miss you.

It is good to see some somewhat happier words from you. This post was somewhat bittersweet and I still worry terribly about you...jumping into something so quickly at all. I know it is none of my business, so I will kindly butt out, yet know that any reservations I may have are just out of genuine concern for you, Teddy.

[teddythompson]

No, we're on good terms. Nothing bad happened as far as I can remember. No fights, no bad vibes. I love her profusely... I can just get frustrated with her sometimes. And the fact I haven't seen her in weeks or talked to her in almost just as long aided in the shock of just randomly seeing her at my show in LA of all places. That's all really.

I think it would be healthy for us to all mend as a whole. The three of us. I didn't really get to talk to you or Rufus when in Miami... so maybe this will sort of "make up" for it.

I'm not jumping into anything really, but I appreciate your concern, Juska. I have missed you, and your voice. We'll see each other or at least talk sometime soon.

I believe most people feel that way, it is the beauty of parents. Funny how the people who knows us the best can push our buttons the easiest.

The idea of us making up for it really appeals to me. It has been wonderful to see you and Rufus get along so well as of late. You are two of the people I care the most for and I want us to all find happiness. The more I think about this road trip, the more fun I think it will be…that is, of course, if I do not have to sit crammed in the back of Rufus' car. *grins*

Please take care of yourself, Teddy.

Exactly. It's a double-edged sword I suppose. It can hurt like hell though because those are the people you can't exactly say 'fuck you' to and push away.

It has been wonderful to see you and Rufus get along so well as of late
I've missed getting along with him. He never fails to cheer me up or make at least something a little better. I love that quality about him. You're a lucky man.

that is, of course, if I do not have to sit crammed in the back of Rufus' car.
I'm driving.. so I get front left. It's Rufus' car so I'm sure he calls shotgun. I think you are out of luck, my darling. ;) Though I'm sure Rufus will be slipping into the back seat every now and then. But if you kill us I might be a little pissed.

Your account of Los Angeles seemed so dreary. It is hard to go to a place that apparently holds so many memories. I have not been out there for a while now, just sort of distancing myself from things. I have actually been a tad reluctant to leave London at all, which probably does not make a great deal of sense, but home is where the heart is, I suppose.

At least you are keeping busy, I wish I could say the same. And I am sure it is only a matter of time before we see each other again. I have been thinking about you a great deal. All the places I want to take you, all the films I want to watch with you, all the people I would like you to meet. Perhaps I am getting a tad ahead of myself.

I will call you tonight, I hope you will be around.

[teddythompson]

I hate LA, a lot. You will get to learn that about be soon enough. The city makes me miserable, the places make me depressed, and the people drain me. Let's not ever go there unless necessary, alright?

I am only keeping myself busy because I know myself. If I don't I will likely go insane. Either that or pace around and think too much.

I'll keep my cell on for you.

You may have not been to all the right places yet. One day I should give you my tour of LA.

Thinking is not always a bad thing, love. It is all a matter of what you focus your thoughts on.

I tried a few times and got your voice mail. I hope you enjoyed the message I left.

I'd prefer to stay out of LA. I lived there for 6 years, I know all the "right places". It's just all the "right places" are tainted and I like to stay out of the city as much as I possibly can.

Thinking is not always a bad thing, love
Thinking is always bad for me.

I hope you enjoyed the message I left.
CHEEKY!

I love you dear.
