NEW WICKED BLOG

summer breeze

Man, the weather is wonderful- nice and crisp! It's really refreshing outside! neat! heat!

or something.

and so it is, another night, another day, the morning breaks with a light heart. take these shoes, take this shirt, take this shirt and make it clean, take this soul, takes this soul and make it sing.

i've found there is a world you can choose to live in and a world you can be a part of.

take these hands, take this mouth, take this mouth and make it speak a real word....

i've seen a morning break in a different light, a dawn that is arriving without fully coming in. i've been a fly on the wall, and a participator in the rights of life, the ideas that separate and bring together.

it's like summer camp on this thing. but real moments permeate the entire ordeal. so take this city and this city should be shining on a hill.

it's easy to release control of that which feels so impermeable. but take this heart, and make it break. it's an odd thing to be away from your home, your life... nothing is real, but you want everything to be real. you have conversations that are bigger and grander than ever. you have thoughts which hold no real roots, you have moments that will never be repeated.

but i find it is all real, and life is only true for that which you make it. the frailty of moments suddenly passes by when the structure that you find them in is gone. the true blues of a darkness seep through and then tastes can be what they are meant to be. why leave this place. maybe we all know. what a wild ride, what a wild ride it always is.

sorry this is so melodramatic.

please make fun.

i've spoken to darren and, the above time at the red lion, how's that sound, tomorrow

i've just figured out how easy it is to put pictures up. here's a couple from alan's wedding

sugarbear

first i have to say i was very disappointed not to receive any real recomendations from any of you on what songs to sing at Emily's birthday karaoke party.

secondly, it was awesome. in this old alley ale house they've got the party going on and inside are the mcgraws, rose and tim and the funky bunch. highlights include someone's high octane performance of born to be wild, a rather embarrrasing peformance of baby got back by four drunk girls and more more more. i'm sorry to say i arrived too late and missed emily's rendition of superstar by the carpenter's, but i did get to see, to my overwelming enjoyment, a didactic performance of someone saved my life tonight by emily, more than a performance, a presentation of all that is good with the world through song.

the question has come up whether tom petty's free fallin is a good karaoke song, or simply a good song, or neither. please comment

what fun

this is my apartment building and my street in the winter (for those considering a winter trip east)

so we sold

a pair of vases yesterday for $70,000. very exciting. big surprise of the day. on mon/tues i'll be around and wondered if people want to meet up somewhere? tuesday would probably be better for me...

Foo Fun

Howdy,

just thought I'd drop a line from Berkely. Things are going really well, except for the fact that I'm in a stink-brewed rv for 24 hours a day. The shows have been really good, and mainly it's been fun hanging out with the guys in foo fighters. Vancouver kicks ass- who knew? I'm in on anyone that wants to t.p. my home- I think it's kind of a nice summertime decoration. Talk to you all soon

let the sun shine

it's 5:14 am. thursday morning. the sun is almost out and i just got back to my hotel, drinking some wine and winding down from another night of work. mr samuel jackson has finished his part of the filming and has left the city. this town is a madhouse of cowboys and drunks. it's great. it's like spring break all over town, just with a lot of western wear. yee haw. i am too tired to really write anything of consequence, so i won't. brent, sorry i will miss you in LA. dan, good luck in Chicago. my sister lives there as well. may the lord be with you all, and i am in on tp'ing andy's home.

i'll be in la

monday and tuesday nights...
anybody around?

people,people,people

just tried to call dan, he didn't answer

so i head butted a guy today on the sidewalk for no apparent reason, just took him down with my forehead. it was unparalleled and awesome.

a.hamilton, i tried to email you a while back. did you get it? what's your email.

ok, so i'm looking for karaoke recommendations for emily's karaoke b'day this friday. any good ideas?

also, anybody want to teepee andy's house while he's on tour?

Good job opportunity!

This sounds awesome! You guys need to check this out!

i not dead

'did you ever wonder what the sun was like in 1986?'

'no,' said meg with a smile. her blonde hair fell across her face, as her thick red lips gave way to a smile with dimples faint in the corners.

'has it ever changed?'

'i don't know?' she said.

'i told you i was telling the truth,' said oliver exhaling smoke and a cough as the crew wrapped python thick cables and pushed chrome lights behind him. he took another hit and handed the burning stub to the ghost of a man hidden behind the beard and now graying mane.

'i've never been one for abreviated names,' he said. 'can i call you megan?' he exhaled and passed the joint along.

'sure,' she said, taking the joint.

oliver looked across the white sound stage and motioned to val. 'come on over, he won't bite.'

'you know,' he said in his breathy baritone. 'i believe dylan's most erotic record was nashville skyline.' he tried to grab at something floating through the air. 'did you get it?' asked meg, her eyes turning red and vulnerable. he didn't answer.

'you've no right to parade him around like an animal,' said val.

'you can back out if you want,' said oliver. 'there'll be a hundred more actors lining up behind. kevin bacon's endowed enough for the part.'

'bacon?' asked jim.'there's a time for everything and everything for a time.'

'what's that supposed to mean?' asked meg sincerely.

'sweet girl,' said oliver to val.'dumb as a ford, but she tries hard.'

'where'd you find him?' asked val.

'please,' said oliver.'business is business. use him, study him, but don't be asking questions that you need not know.'

'when's the last time you changed those leather pants?' asked val.

'be nice,'said oliver.'who needs a drink?'

'where's he staying?' asked val.

'why, your place, of course,' said oliver.'the lizard is still king, man.'

'what about l.a. woman?' asked jim while playing with meg's paper thin hair. 'can she come too?'

'whatever you want, jim. whatever you want.'

Paper Plane

Paper Plane is playing @ DiPiazzas in long beach tomorrow night. cost is $5. show starts at 8, not sure when we go on, but if you're thinking of going give me a call.

Update:

Well. Aren’t these the fucking times. With cysts on faces and The Great Invitation of ’06 (North Eastern celebration of the new year) summer time blog lull and Gore’s global warming. Theres just no telling whats happening.

And so here’s the update…

Colorado Springs has been good. A real interesting and complicated experience. A blend of deep expressions of love to hard confusing expressions of hatred and malice. A new posse, quality folk. Watching a sincere dislike for a city simmer and grow into satisfaction and a new respect for the place. Blessed with an opportunity, squandered it. (square peg, round hole). Revelations and revolutions. Family. This has been my Colorado Springs.

And now I move on. I will follow my sister to the land that gave us the likes of

Chicago.

I believe I will give Chicago a go. I will live in the basement of a house built during the roaring 20’s, will travel exclusively on my feet and the L. I will give no car a shot for a while. I will work hard, but am not too sure where. I do know that it won’t be a non-profit or faith based anything. And frequent US Cellular field, Wrigley Field… and Soldier Field.

I recently spent 1 month in Northern Virginia in my parent’s river side house. And despite its restful and rejuvenating affects the house is quite isolated. Compiled with a lost cell phone I have been quite out of the loop. I have recently acquired a new phone which can help get me in the loop but I have no numbers and therefore am still out of the loop. So if you will, please (1) call me and give me your number (2) email me and give me your number. eljuanaco@gmail.com It was a really great month. I built a deck. A small one, about 8’ x 10’. It was good working with the hands again. I took a month off the bottle. Cleared the head. Played tennis daily and enjoyed the community pool.

Currently reading: Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand (mind blowing)

Currently listening: Stan Getz

Love to all.

i appreciate the positivity this blog can generate. what a wonderful porch we have.

my sister had her baby, abigail ann hagglund, 6 lbs 12 oz. on tuesday morning. all is well, i'll be visiting home end of july. she's very cute, i've seen pics.

i'm in ny with jacqueline this nice long weekend. no big plans. she's lovely. she also has a french bulldog named cosmo who treats me with the respect i deserve.

now then, i've been speaking to emily and would like to bring up a concern i'm having. she, apparently, has written of the drinking of alcohol, due to a few minor mishaps (that'l happen). however, i have been able to convince her to take up the drinking of alcohol, if several of our friends will come and spend their new year's eve with us on the east coast. in fact, she has agreed to have a shot of tequila for every person that boards a plan for the coming of the new year. sound like an awful amount of effort to undertake just to get emily back on board? listen to the following key arguments, and perhaps you'll change your mind.

1. how much money will you spend in alcohol purchases the few days around new years. enough for a plane ticket? probably. we'll take care of the alcohol (and lodging duh), and you take care of the plane ticket.

2. everybody remember how fun our trip to austin was for the goss' wedding? i do, it was "crazy" fun. i think we did pretty good those few days, all the while missing some of our key players. it's like we had our team, minus some of our strongest, and we still made the semis. i think if we get the whole team together we can take the championship (#1). we are proposing an austin east.

3. many people have said to me, or emily, "i can't wait to visit you on the east coast, that will be so much fun!" we agree

4. alan and xio have already bought their tickets

5. lager

6. rio bravo, the boats, coldwar kids together on one stage

7. snow

8. lager

9. the china bus to new york

10. because you can

11. because you deserve it (if you can't)

12. lager

13. why not?



now that i've made my argument, feel free to consider the plus and minuses and let us know. emily, please comment if i left anything out.
