Fiona Apple wrote a letter

lesson learned.

If there's one thing I've learned over the past year, it's this: The greatest men are ordinary people who rise to the challenges in front of them and accomplish great things.

i'm pretty sure this is true, at least it is for me.

I Met A Genius by Charles Bukowski



I met a genius on the train
today
about 6 years old,
he sat beside me
and as the train
ran down along the coast
we came to the ocean
and then he looked at me
and said,
it's not pretty.

it was the first time I'd
realized
that.

like that song from Siamese Dream

Today, I am going to grill bacon.

i wrote a new song this evening. i call it "A Planet Under Dawn." it's under the science + skeleton moniker so i'm posting it here. i messed around with the following: white noise, historical speeches (teddy roosevelt, thomas edison, gandhi)and buddha machines. here's a link so you can listen over and over and over and try to make sense of it.

A Planet Under Dawn

trust me on this one.

next time you have lentil soup, put some lemon juice in it. not while it's cooking, but after. just do it.

farmer's market tuesday

i was on my way home, when two guys passed each other on the sidewalk. they greeted one another and one said to the other, "well, you're obviously not going to yoga tonight." it made me laugh.

Hi larious, how are you doing today?

yep, it's funny.

The Iron Giant

Today I thought about my favorite time watching The Iron Giant. Then I reminded my friend about it.

Top 5 of the Decade

So this decade is almost over. These are the songs bring back the best memories, make me feel pretty right on, and will stay with me for some time to come.

the unlimited expanse in which everything is located

I have recently become obsessed with the thought of empty open spaces.



Maybe something like this represented by sounds and words.

pretty alright

So a while back I played in a band, and I've been listening to my favorite song (Ink Drawn Circle) that we wrote repeatedly throughout the day. Here's a lyrical sampling.

"The branch that I hold turns to ash and as I fall I hold my breath...blue fades to white..."

I freakin' love it.
