Ju now the frequency choo cha.

I changed my operating system to Ubuntu today. It's kind of a big deal. I'd say most of my time alone is spent on my computer so it's quite a drastic change. I still haven't worked out all the kinks but I'm sure as soon as I get the latest updates and all the software I need, I'll feel better. It's been quite an epic night (in the dullest way possible.) Thanks Robby for all your help with hardware/software/thievery!

I found "God Bless Tiny Tim" by Tiny Tim and Laurie Anderson's "Big Science" for a total of twelve dollars. So pumped.

Record shopping is more addictive than anything I've ever done, that includes sex.
I get more excitement from finding a deal than any sort of sexual act.
It's kind of depressing.

Pass the waxxxxxxxxx

Tucson's stormy.
Going to Sonoita tomorrow.
Bisbee on Saturday.
Toots & The Maytals on Sunday (With Los Lonely Boys, haha.)

Dude, forget about Heroes, Lost, and any other show people call "the next Twin Peaks." Just watch Twin Peaks. It's a hundred times more addicting and directed way better.

Dogs are fun.

Morgan, don't see Hot Rod without me.

If I die,
Bring lots of seeds to put in my casket.
While you're walking to bury me, recite every curse word you've ever known to the people around you.
Let Cianna write the eulogy.
Have a portrait of Crispin Glover as Rubin next to the casket.
And if at all possible, get a quintet to play Paper Moon.

It's impossible for me to be sure of myself.

Great night.


Fuck fuck fuck. Right when I'm starting to fall in love, he dies.
Not that that will really affect anything.
I'm still going to watch all of his films.
Still weird though.
Those Swedes sure know how to make a movie.

Good night.

I went with Zach and Travis to Funk Canyon which I guess is in South Mountain. I had never been there but it was way gnarly. I hadn't done stuff like that since I went to Cold Springs with Ryan and Mark. I'm so out of shape. It's laughable. I'm so glad I actually went out and did something though. I've come to realize that with smoking weed, TV and food will take over your life. It's getting redundant just sitting around all the time though. I hope the summer will keep developing into what it has been developing into, it's going way well. I'm really really satisfied with things and I haven't been in a while.

But Liana's coming home soon. That's going to rule.

I really want to see the Edith Piaf movie.
The girl in it's way crushable.

Bob Odenkirk is going to rule the universe.

I hate that stupid thing that takes away my friends' innocence. It makes me want to shit and puke all over their faces. I don't know how I'll maintain our friendships when they live their lives in such arrogance. I really would like to say, "I still love them," but that's beside the point. Sure, I'll always love and care for them a whole bunch, but support is something that I just can't do. It's almost everything that I'm against. So I guess the years when it was absent were our years. It's like you ceased to grow when high school started. Fuck man, we'll never be friends again. It's very sad. Argh. I remember when I used to be able to be friends with anyone. Growing up stinks.

Crystal Visions Adventure with Zach, Travis, and Robby is going to be fucking mind blowing. I'm so ready for it. Hopefully Stevie Nicks will join us, if not in person, in spirit.

I just got done watching Raging Bull. I saw it when I was a kid but I don't think I really understood or appreciated it. It's very depressing. It reminds me a lot of my dad and it kind of scares me because I think I'll end up like him. I guess my mom's sister ran into him at a Circle K and he was buying a 40 and talking about how awesome it is that I play in a band and all this weird stuff. It's so sad not liking your father. I'm sure people are embarrassed of their fathers and I suppose that's reasonable. Some people's fathers make bad jokes and they roll their eyes and apologize in embarrassment. But often times it makes me so angry because some people have no idea how good they have it. I mean, knowing who your brothers and sisters are is something that I am very envious of. My dad had gotten a few girls pregnant and I guess just denied it and because they were scared and young, nothing happened. The only reason I'm grateful for my dad is because of my grandparents and uncle. I love them so much and had my mom's mom not confronted and found my dad's parents, I never would have known them. Which is so hard to imagine. And please don't think I have "daddy issues," because it's quite the opposite. Considering I have a "step"father who works hard and has gone through so much to support us, I just feel sorry for my dad. I really do. But not out of love, it's out of pure pity. I know I sound horrible but there were so many years without child support and all the shit he has put my grandparents through, all the alcohol, all the times in jail, all the womanizing, all the fucking up is just enough for me to pity him. And it's out of the love for the victims of him that I don't like him. I just hope I won't turn out like him. I need to get my shit together.

But anyways, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci do such an amazing job in that movie. Everything about is done very well. I hope you guys watch it sometime.

Oh and Morgan's leaving. It's kind of a bummer but at least he'll have awesome cool fun fun stories.

Tucson's coming soon!

If anyone has a copy of it, please please please let me borrow it.
I still haven't seen it and apparently it's how Bob Odenkirk and David Cross started working together.

I want to go to a park every day for the rest of my life.
I'm so impressed and satisfied with Parks and Recreation.

Oh and if you're using Windows Vista, the government might be spying on you.

Bummer.

Instead of looking for a job.

I hate Halo so much. It grosses me out. I never really feel very competitive but whenever I play that bullshit game, I get all worked up over winning and I get the shittiest feeling. The need to be better than someone at something so insignificant pisses me off. It's so annoying. Not all games give me that feeling though. I can play Wii Sports or any RPG all night and never feel bad because I'm satisfied with it, whether or not I win or loose. God, just FUCK HALO.

This past week has been nice.
Thanks dudes who've been hanging.

Tucson.

Everyone should convince Tim to do his stand-up routine. Trust me, it'll be the funniest stand-up you've ever seen.

Does anyone want a mixtape?
I'll make you one.

Jaime hung out with me today!
SO FUCKING HAPPY

When I showered today I used way too much shampoo.
My hair hasn't been this short since 2003.
Booyah!

Last night was a great summer day.

I went with Matt Y, Cody (birthday boy), Maria, and Greg to Ellsworth and Brown where you can take a trail to the top of this hill and see the whole valley. It's very beautiful. Greg and I smoked cheap cigars. Alex and Zwis met up with us later. I missed Michael very very much. We figured out that I haven't seen him since the last day Kelsi and I were together, which is the same night I made Cody drive me home so I could take a shit because Native New Yorker tends to destroy my bowels, and Cody got a ticket taking Kelsi home. It's so awesome attaching events to other events. That's what most of our conversations consisted of. Matt's truck, Chandler skating, city lights, old neighborhoods, car singalongs. Last summer was sick and so far this summer's going pretty well.

We should all go to Flagstaff before Alex moves.
Yeah?

Oh and which would be a more awesome tattoo the size of a fist.
Scott Baio and Tony Danza 69ing with a caption reading "Who's the boss?"
Or
Jesus pulling a fetus out of a pregnant woman?

Wow my stomach didn't drop.
I think we're good.

If anyone can add two bands to a bill tonight it would be so appreciated.
The other show got canceled.
Please call me at 480.246.5710

I'll marry you if you can
