I've been thinking on something all day today. About passion. About love. Dunno what its coming to, but I'll get it on here soon.

Ookee! I think I got this comment thing working, at the request that I do so. Hadn't been keeping up on all the latest blog stuff I guess.

So I'm just sitting back and listening to a little James Taylor. Sometimes I need to sit back and listen to some peaceful, easy feeling music. Not the Eagles, though I like them, just not while I'm in the mood I'm in today.

DMB tickets were scored for Shoreline and Staples center, but what I'm really looking forward to are the Gorge shows in Washington this year. I'll already be up there, hopefully knowing a lot more people at the shows. I seem to have a knack for finding other DMB fans wherever I go. Plus the last two summers rocked!

Alright. Hit me with those comments!

Okay, I remember what it was now.

I was listening to the rock station here in town KJEE, which I don't usually, and I heard this tight groove laid down, with a bit of rock guitar over it. Then I hear Gwen Stefani's voice. And I'm thinking, wowsers. So what if the chorus is repetitive? Its still got a great groove. Get a better lyricist in there, and you can have more insightful lyrics. But the message in the song gets across. "Just keep on dancing".

So it got me to thinking, if every band that had the unfortunate pleasure of working with Glen Ballard went to Jamaica to record their next album, it would sound this groovy and sinful. Next best place, Sausilito, CA.

And, since I have slept since I posted at 3am (what I was doing up at that hour, I'll never know) my new download of the day is "Start the Fire"- No Doubt

Please disregard all the uses of Damn in the last post. I went a little nuts I think.

And I had something extremely profound to say, I thought of it last night on my way home from the quickie mart, but have since forgot.
sorry.

Wow! Two blogs in almost two days! You'll have to excuse me, I'm quite impressed with myself right now.

Something's happened. One of my best and closest friends in the whole world is moving away. Even after everything we went through, somewhere inside, I thought that we'd always be around each other. At the same time I am planning on leaving too. So maybe its better this way. Him leaving first. It might be easier, but damn, if that boy don't get internet service fast, our phone bills are going to be higher than sheet. When I get up north, I'll have to get a cell phone with unlimited nights and weekends and free long distance. Anyone know of any places like that?

In other news, the man of my dreams already in Seattle is moving away from the city before I get there! Damn if I didn't have terrible timing.

Also, lunch today was amazing... little Italian bistro near mi casa. Tuna cream? Yes. Oh yes. Little pricey, but well worth it. Damn if I could remember the name. Conversation over lunch was nice too, although I wish that I hadn't put one to the head before I ate. I was too munchy to say much of anything. I just sat there, taking tiny bites of my sandwich savoring every morsel. Ok. Maybe it was the food, or maybe it was both.

Damn, I'm hungry.

Download of the Day - Keller Williams "Eyes of the World"

As my good friend Joe would say... "its been a long time"

Life certainly throws us curve balls every once in a while, one being the man of my dreams. The other that he'll never be anything more than a friend. Well, I won't say never, because one should never say never, but its highly unlikely, so whatever is closest to never, without it actually being never.

Gonna move to Seattle (or more likely Bellvue/Kirkland) in July. The 'rents aren't too pleased with this, but hey, I've got to grow up sometime, don't I? I can't do anymore growing in this little bubble that is Santa Barbara. I'll be 23, making money on my own, and then I want to get down to business and start working on my music. Maybe do a little writing at my cabin too. But yeah. Nothing doing here.
