I almost spilled my guts last night to a girl. She was too drunk to take it well. I kissed her. I hugged her and then I let her go. SHe's the girlfriend that never was and may never be. She was someone else's. SHe was her own. She burns like fireflies on a warm summer night. SHe'll always be my girl... in my head.

so work has become no longer fun or funny and is in fact starting to get hellish. I should quit. I should get money. I should drink more. I should sleep. Graham and I are working on some music and if we can figure out how to compress these huge files we'll be sharing them soon.

Christmas was good. It was closure in so many ways. New doors in other ways. I finally feel at peace with my hometown. It's good to have it off my back.

and a fifth of whiskey
it's all travelling on
guide me
lead me
to the edge
we can never really
go home again
we find
sight seeing
is all the rage
but the cage
says
stay

I found the one
that got away
sitting in some dim-lit
east-coast cafe
i don't remember
what i wanted
i forgot what
i had to say

O my dear i loved you
before you left this town
it's been a year since i've seen you
but i still wish you were around

i know you've
got a story
about the good
times you've seen
i hope when you
sing this chorus
you'll feel what
it means to be free

I just met one of the shoe designers for Duffs. Duffs makes very high-quality skate shoes. I talked to him for a minute while I smoked a cigarette and he informed me that Vans (the shoes I wear) is being bought out by Vanity Fair. What a damned shame. I would say that the price will go up and the quality will go down. He said that they're going to shift from the skate oriented promotions to more lifestyles shit. another one bites the dust.
Hopefully Johnny Rad and his friends can get the capital together to start a deck pressing company. I'm excited for him.
I'm going to get drunk and watch American Psycho tonight. Nick has never seen it and I think he's really going to like it. Nothing like chainsaws and Whitney Houston.

Donkey lips + 'salute your shorts' + Myspace = hilarious!

long bets

I bet that by the year 2057 there will be a global revolution against the corporate ruling class power. Borders will disappear and we will be free to travel to any country in the world without a passport. Also 30% of the worlds population will be 'plugged in' to what was once called the world-wide web (it will have a different name by then like 'foglet user-based reality' the f.u.r.)
