a dream that's daily coming true....

soooooooo, several months ago i started to write a post* about letting go (of several unhealthy relationships that i had been clinging to out of fear).

well, life took over and as usual, i was distracted by something bright and shiny, leaving the post to be unpublished and collect digital dust on my computer hard drive.

i continued on with my life, slowly distancing myself from some of the unhealthy things i'd surrounded myself with, kind of giving up on the idea of any real romance in my life.

then life surprised me in a completely unexpected way....with a love i never believed in but always hoped existed. a love that feels so natural and easy that i realized everything before it was merely a warm-up exercise. i guess it's kind of true what they say about things happening when you least expect it and with someone who has been one of my closest friends for 14 years.

thank you universe.

*post on letting go to be continued at a further date.

when you're gone, i am lost......

changing scenery....

some recent photos of the wall across from deitch.

heartworn highways

this is a great scene/song from the documentary heartworn highways. if you haven't seen this movie, rent it now.  it's a great film from about the folk and country music scene from the mid 70's.  it features steve earle, townes van zandt, david allan coe, the charlie daniels band and gamble rogers, to name a few. i'm still trying to find a copy of the soundtrack which has been out of print for ages.

My official 2010 birthday song:

you're perfect, yes it's true

i was obsessed with FNM in highschool but never got to seem them live. counting down the days til the july 2nd show in brooklyn.
the real thing is still one of my favorite songs. the lyrics are amazing. i had the You Fat B**tards vhs tape also. i watched that thing over and over again, fantasizing about mike patton.
oh those teenage years.

another reminder.....

verite

oh, give me a reason to be beautiful

you got to swim before you fly

just my type.

all i wanted was a pepsi!

forgot how awesome this video was!

empty bottles, broken hearts.....

this song still kicks ass.....

dead moon

this song is on repeat today.

Release me from your wire dagger moon
Release me from your wire dagger moon
Release me from your wire
I'm the hang of your desire
Release me from your wire dagger moon

Release me from the chamber dagger moon
Release me from the chamber dagger moon
Release me from the collars
Shadows and the tarnish yeah
Leave me on the outside dagger moon

Ah now what you came for dagger moon
Tell me what you came for dagger moon
You came in with your needle
Deep inside my fevers
God above you dagger moon

Shadows are a-fading dagger moon
Shattered 'neath my patient attitude
Nervous sooner changes
Goddamn I hate you
Always on the outside dagger moon
Release me from your wire
Dagger moon
