Emitt Rhodes. I love this song!
As soon as I get back I learn I’m leaving for tour in a month. 2009 has been a crazy year.
I’ll get to see some snow and leave town for a while longer, so it’ll be nice.
without neil and julian, I don’t know what I’d do.
In the past day I’ve seen more elderly private parts than I thought I’d ever see. But here I am! Neil and I are gonna make a film!
Fort Lauderdale
Neil and I sang along to The Beatles really loudly after driving about 11 hours. Today was very nice but I may have experienced the scariest and most disturbing thing in my adult life. Scary, happy, sad and exciting times. I keep having moments of sincere joy, love and enthusiasm which are so intense its overwhelming but then moments later I become cynical about myself again. Swimming and beer by the ocean help keep cynicism away better than most things though.
I ran into the ocean alone in the early morning to see how it felt and to feel how my body would handle it. The water was cold but warmer than I expected. The waves were harsh and felt like they wanted to take me with them. I was scared at first when I saw how far they had taken me but I felt my body and knew it would get me to shore, so I had faith and swam as hard as I could. Before I knew it I had scraped me knee on the sand and was sitting on the shore, laughing and shaking in the cold. I laughed more and stared at the stars, excited that I was able to save myself from the tide and that I was braver than I had imagined. I looked at my body and was amazed it was capable of performing as it did, but took pride in myself for just a moment to know it is capable of far more than I give it credit for. I’m always thinking of how my body fails me in so many ways but I see it’s capable of giving me a nice surprise.
there are often days where I think of how I hope to be or how I am
and I wish I were like a bored or sleepy child
unphased by where I am or by what the future holds
and could simply exist in each moment and be indifferent to all that life brings me
but to hear my friend’s laugh as he holds a beer, staring at the ocean, or see the seagulls above who seem not to notice the filth around us
I see the worth in just being sad and enjoying the night sky with someone I care about
