DIFFERENT FONT but FROM SUNDAY
When the Internet’s down, and I have no desire to bike or call back, am not hungry or in the mood to clean, enjoy sports or do anything I can do tomorrow --- I sit down with the guitar, strum (sometimes pluck) and sing. Songs of nothingness or everythingness. Whichever ‘ness my brain feels inclined to experience at the time of creativity --- or lack thereof. I think that for original creativity to happen, one must be able to let the unconscious mind take over things for a while. Alert and on auto-pilot with an eye on the sky. Allow your brain to control your hands and fingers, but only as meager tools for your mind to work and create nice things. This sometimes difficult fusion between here and there and where we want to be but don’t know if we can get there or even how to --- is forever rewarded when nothingness is transformed seamlessly and without effort into everythingness. These everythingnesses are sometimes about people I know (myself, sort of) and those I know the least (others, sort of). Sometimes I recall of things that happened (life) and those that hadn’t yet (life) or never will (life). I often ramble on like I’m drunk on delirium and high on words and sort of catchy phrases. I’ll make plans to dine with feelings I have never met. Every situation is an invitation for different company, as is the process of pulling prizes from thin air. Music is magic and magic isn’t real. But music is real. Which is why music is more magical than magic itself. Art of any kind, I’m sure can fit into this whimsically-magically-musically-category-ally. Huh? Are superb artists just more superb illusionists, throwers of voices and staged stunt shows? Were the Beatles just the world’s most high flying trapeze artists balancing precariously high above as we twist and shout below? Or were they just four guys from Liverpool who wrote probably the best songs ever made (Ringo included!), and who’s influence on people’s lives (in terms of the world’s cultural identity) is only rivaled in comparison of importance and size by people’s experience of the Beatles’ lives themselves --- and the amount of women the Fab Four slept with in the 60’s. Hmmm. Tough one. But, I think I’ll take the second option. Music is life and life is music as life is created like music is born. From feelings and actions. Inside our bodies and out. You dig?
THE 1 THING I LEARNED TODAY
If you ride your bike in 4 completely different directions. You can tell exactly which way the wind is blowing. That is, if you're fairly good with directions.

"If opinions upon any of these matters had been chalked on the pavement, nobody would have stopped to read them. The nonchalance of the hurrying feet would have rubbed them out in half an hour" - Virginia Woolf, on important things.

- Ask the cat if he has any solid advice about mutual funds, or life in general
- Call an equally bored friend in hopes of doing something fun together for as much time as possible or until one has to leave or doesn't want to hang out anymore
