Elsewhere

For a friday. I'm way too depressed about the state of the world, the state of the economy and the state of my own life. I'll get over it soon I'm sure.

Made AWESOME by MBIMOTMOG Morning Cumute Music Season 2

I just thought of you, or remembered i guess is the right word for it. I'm not sure what made me think of you, it could have been the music. maybe it played sometime when we were together. I forgot alot. but for a split second i remembered that time, that feeling.

Its all rather uncertain now. The way it flows is somehow just the way we need to take it.

In absolute fear that summer weekends will soon be over, I managed to do everything in only one day and night.
This included:
getting my bike fixed
biking
eating a lox bagel sandwich outside with iced coffee
getting a free pass ($50 value) for the "Around the Coyote Arts festival" by doing the above
attending said festival at both the flat iron building and wicker park
attending the Guinness Oyster festival
driving to madison in time for a scrabble game at the Argus with Nick, Karl, and Kraus
Oh I forgot to mention stopping for Arby's on my way there.
Drinking plenty of beer and sitting outside smoking cigaretts showing off my garage bought sunglasses while doing the above.
um, EPH, it doesn't matter what season it is, this is a necessary activity
Attending a show of both princes and ponys at the Slipper Club while
getting progressively drunk,
almost seeing kraus beaten up by drunk queer men
adjourning the above activity for some lake swimming.
Thanks to Mollie i did the above in an orange bikini.
We make the best swim team ever,
even if this requires life jackets and smoking 2 cigs at one time
did i mention 24 hr McDonalds
Sand
Sealab

After being addicted to NPR for over a week obsessing a little too much about new orleans and only momentarily switching to XRT, i remember my love and loyalty to Linn Bramer.
Today's Lin's bin pretty much says it all.

SO I think its time for a new isolation.
Time to get out of this funk and get moving again.
as always its harder to get started than i care to admit, which is probably why i let it bring me down rather than up.
Things to do:
start my isolation
admit though while most of the time amazing the internets do freak me out
focus
get moving.
its always easier for me to physically keep moving than sit still and move
i'd rather get on the next plane to wherever or get in my car and drive aimlessly which i continue to do. most of the time just to have another cigarette, which is why i add to my list
stop smoking as much
I admit that when things seem a little tough i tend to avoid them by being goofy, cus when i try to address the issue and it doesn't go where i would think it would go or to any sort of resolution i let it go and carry on without any satisfying resolution, though i'm not sure this works well either. it does at times but well, only to a certain point.

I've been dying to quote this interpol line forever so here i go:
"Its way too late to be the slut inside ourselves, the trouble is, that you're in love with someone else."

Someone told me the other day that when things stop being fun its time to let it go and move on. I'm not sure how i feel about it. I think its easy to do that, i like that, but i'm not sure where it gets you.

I admit, i'm tired of being wrong all the time. I'm not sure if its the case or only a perspective that is easily taken.

Its rare times when i lose perspective and objectivity, the times that i do i find it very frustrating though it lets you explore another part of ourselves we rarely allow.
what that means i'm not too sure.

K_RAL! I didn't forget, i've just been well an ass. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!
I am planning a weekend of birthday makeups. there may be music, there may be cake, there may be candles, there may be drank, in which case there may be more than just makeups. This goes for you too kraus.

New Orleans. WTF. Where is everybody? Where is our government and where is all this aid? Its just really fucked up.
