Marmaduke

Funny how yesterday's post was saying that i have finnaly found inspiration from a musician after many years of longing. well today i found my new band. THE band that will bring a new chapter in my life. They are three musicians from York England, very talented and exactly what i have been searching for musically since i left my jazz combo in grade 11. There was an amazing instant chemistry between us all as soon as we play the first few notes tonight. Locked in right away and grooving. The vibe was so powerful i was screaming out loud in my car on the way home out of pure joy. We played two songs togerther and i was so excited i had to go wash my hands to get the sweat off of them, and when i returned to the room, they asked me to join the band. it was like some other force brought us together, a perfect combination. The drummer and guitar player are incredibly tight and the female singer is outstanding. Her voice is beautiful and very powerful as well. i don't even know how i am going to deal with it until the next rehersal, we may go down and preform at darcy's right after it on monday night. we could have tonight i'm sure. it was instantly together and tight. 60's style groovy R&B rock that isn't blow-your-ears-off loud. all the instruments are audible and at a decent volume so that you can really hear whats going on, like a jazz group almost. I am so excited i don't think i'll be able to sleep! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! shit. the band is called Marmaduke

Common Sense

I just got the new common album "Be." go get it. best hip hop album i have ever heard. so tight. the song "go" is so damn good i think i came in my shorts. i can't even deal with the feeling i have right now. i want to get all this insane energy that it has given me out. but i can't. Finnally some motivation from someone making real music today. not just the standard bullshit, radio friendly(not that it is not), cold, unfeeling, distant, lifeless garbage that has been invading my aural passages, deafening me and dampening my soul for the last few years. The man common is peerless in his art. I am relaxed and full of energy all at once. and now i must go.

swan dive

hmmm, my parents are away
i am half cut on some nice beer and there is not much to say. i have been working full time and it is as mono tao nous as ever. I haven;t been playing music. i haven;'t been doing reading f or the very expensive chinese medcine course i am taking. i am slacking in all aspects of life. i have been doing yoga. that makes me feel better.

i have been doing swan dives off the rocks at thetis. they feel amazing. exilerating. i wish i could spell better. hmmmmm.

i need excercise, mentally and physically. stuffing vending machines is killing me.

Bob Dylan

i went and saw bob dylan on sunday night at the arena. wow. the man is 64 and he rocked me harder then anysahow i have ever seen. his band was ultra tight, his songs were changed just enough that they were brand new. His voice was like an organ hitting notes super low and beautifully high. throughout the night he had one favorite note he kept hitting in everysiong way up high. it was great. then for the encore the whole audiance stodd and they whiopped oiut "all along the watch tower and played a cross of his version and jimm hendrix's. it was so fucking rocking that i almost shat myslef. he is a god of rock. hard as hell and 64. he didn';t bow at the end. we were suposed to bow to him. amazing.

Cold Feet

well well well, igot things on my mind like bed. well what i mean is i want to go to sleep. i am just about asleep right now but i figured it was time to update. i have been working a fair bit. i have been figuring out women as much as i can(did you know they're all different?). i have been searching for and finding the dolly i use at work as i lost it yesterday and then found it today(i was distracted by a girl at the ferry terminal and drove away without it in my van. it is worth about $800. anyway i got it back today.

tonight i went right after work with my friend nathan up to sombreo and went surfing. we got to take his parent's Audi A4. fucking swweeet ride. to pass a car at one point we went from 80km to about 140 in three seconds. tight. anyway, i forgot one of my wetsuit boots so i went without both and had cold feet. got good waves though. i love surfing. and women. bed time. peace

The Wrong End of the Stick

frustrated beyond measure at the moment. Sexual? perhaps. certainly real. i have been unsanctimoniously ditched. it feels pretty shity. i suppose i deserve it though as on canada day i did some first class ditching myself. I certainly am not all to blame for that incident as there was a fair amount of gin involved in a short amount of time. I do now understand the karmic circle though. hit once and you'll get it back like a battering ram through a window. it's alright, i am still recovering from friday night, and can certainly use the rest. i can't help but wonder where the hell my bitcher has gotten to and what they have gotten up to. an odd situation. it leaves one's mind swirling with doubt and prone to elaborated imaginings of sordid possiblity.

my job does not promote sanity in such a situation either. i will probably spend the whole morning tommorow without saying a single word, getting lost in thought while mechanically stuffing vending machines. I have to really put effort in to stop myself from obsessing on single ideas while i am silent. it is so easy to drive myself mad with twisted thoughts and crazed plans of action which will never come to fruition.

ten to nine, time for bed i guess. perhaps.
