going to seattle for an interview on friday. get some good doughnuts at the market. see p.j. harvey. yep. good times await. ready to pass this drug test and get out of kankakee. there's a good musical soul here, but it's time to move on. first, though, i have to finish this contra 3 song.

on a bizarre musical journey...

i've started to scratch the surface of a musical project that should help me to focus. it's a video game remix and it's going to push the absolute limits of my bass playing ability (of which i have so little). the best part of all is that it's a team effort, so i can't just slack off and say, "yeah, i'll get to that some other time when i feel like not being lazy and getting everything set up."

after 14 years...

i finally finished the dark tower. i know there are surely people disappointed with the ending (if they read the coda, which s.k. actually advises against), but i am pleased. i know it's silly to say, but it's like my life has changed drastically. it's kind of like a friend moved away (to boston, perhaps?). i can't really remember a time in my life that i didn't want to read the next dark tower book desperately. it had been 14 years, after all. and now, 14 years later, there is finally no next dark tower book to look forward to. i've spent over 58% of my life in anticipation of something that's finished. i feel weird.

such great heights

today felt like the last day of summer. it was as though the trees were shining their brightest greens especial for today. the sun was beaming down at unbearably high temperatures and i just drove around the country, listening to the postal service. somehow, the beauty of nature all around me was complimented perfectly by the pleasant, poppy electronic music. i walked around the state park and considered jumping into the kankakee river. jim didn't want to. he said we might die like jeff buckley. i still wanted to chance it, not out of a death wish, but out of a love for life. maybe this blog deal isn't so bad after all.

what the hell is going on...?

i'm posting on my blog... i don't have a blog... but i do... things keep getting weirder & weirder. my shirt is so fucking bright red, it makes me feel stoned.
