I find it extremely appropriate that I keep getting referral hits from people searching for bands. So far some of the highlights have been Dezeray's Hammer, Unified Theory, Matt Nathanson, Howie Day, Pete Yorn, Oblio Joes, Storyhill, and Bottle of Justus. This is just going to make it worse I realize - but hey, if you are reading this...email or IM me because you have damn good taste in music.
How disappointing am I? Then again...no one really reads this do they? Yea, that's what I thought... Trying to get into reading Tom Robbin's Still Life With Woodpecker...a bit wacked out...but, then again it was Joe that recommended it.
I can’t get the words out from inside my head. They are rattling around in there wanting to be said, but when it comes to breaking the silence I find tears emerging instead. Tears brought along sleep last night. For what or why they came is still a mystery. All I can say is I felt shrouded in a dark loneliness. A heaviness placed on my heart. I’m not who I once was, not sure who I am, and not who I want to be.
Update time...
So, no Mayer concert for me. Turns out he got strep throat and had to cancel. A bit disappointing, but I ended up having dinner with Hadas - who I hadn't saw in ages it seems. Spent most of the weekend in the water with a raft trip on Saturday where I added yet another strange tan line and kayaking on Sunday. I'm still sporting the bruise on my bum from the last trip down Pumphouse, but at least this time I was able to manuever around bounce off or over every rock in my way. I am starting to think I might have to throw a little cash at a used boat - an RPM Max maybe. The end of the season sale only comes around...well, at the end of the season, which is right around the corner. Not sure yet though.
Headed down to LA tonight to partake in my "rock and roll lifestyle" as some of those at work have termed it. Works for me although all it means is I get to see some amazing music for free while peddling the artists goods and talking about them to people. Not a problem. This time around it's for John Mayer - who, as one friend's younger brother put it, "might be bigger than Dave some day." Let's see... bigger than Dave, "Dave is god"...how big is god again?
