Observations from a Brief Drive on the Westside-the woman unnervingly pretending to point a rifle at me while at a stoplight and shoot
-passing the coroner and 2 police offers pulling a dead body out of the bushes two blocks later. -feeling a twig I’m in my right sock each time I pressed the accelerometer or brake -the young children splashing in a blow up pool in a front yard, another few blocks beyond the dead body. -be there for your closest friends.
-stay in touch with your closest friends. -remind your closest friends you love and appreciate them. -prioritize your closest friends. they are your people, some of the few people that truly matter. -“you are effervescent!! you are full of light!!!” alison being a good friend to me -you have to hate how the world goes on. william finnegan 'barbarian days' after losing his mother.
-better over_____ than under______ (prepare? estimate? season? cook??) -better out than in, as [shrek] always say[s] -playing B and Db major scales with C major scale fingering is probably the closest I'll ever get to being deeply religious and committing a major, yet relatively harmless sin. Like you know its wrong, but boy it makes ya curious.
-as I committed said sin, two elderly men knocked on the door to "talk about the bible." quite the coincidence, but also seriously dudes not now. Offerings and Observations from a Walk on the Westside-a cat materializing from the shrubs moments behind a clueless passing dog. unphased, unscathed, unleashed.
-passing a woman on the street, completely innocuously. she tells me to "get the fuck outta here." 10 minutes later, while passing her again: "sir could you please spare some change?" -the awkward high school couple, boy's outstretched hand curiously guiding his girlfriend via the back of her neck. their bodies remain diligently distant. -the pensive old man, eyes far too wise to be walking three tiny, fluffy, white yapper-dogs. the complexities of a life long lived. backpacking niceness:
-mark kozelek is an interesting character but a friend recently reintroduced me to the album 'benji.' they're really human songs that seem to have me either trying to keep it together in the car, or laughing at how absurdly blunt some of the lyrics are. good stuff.
-youtube samples for you using number keys !! (thank u nico)
-being deliberate: mean what i say. listen well, think, respond thoughtfully (maybe that is silence). don't go on autopilot, be in the moment and react to it. develop the technical skills to be able to do what i hear musically in my head. |
