i really dig this. the dancing, the singing, the storytelling (of some mysteriously happy event or feeling i can only imagine)…also the music is pretty cool.

i used to read voraciously (sometimes i think one can only know that word if one did). i still can, but more often i don’t (that doesn’t make any sense). anyway, this past weekend i read catcher in the rye, that famous banned book by j.d. salinger (and according to the previous owner of my copy, should still be banned…i hope you aren’t still stupid, melissa h., wherever you are). i was going to sit here and try to write something clever about the book, but i think all that stuff has probably been said (and much better than i could say whatever it is that could be said). i would just like to report that it is a tremendous book and everyone should read it, even if you are offended by its language and subject matter (because none of us should be living a life in which we are never offended…or provoked, irritated, challenged…forced to think outside of yourself; if you are, you might be a phony).

what i want

i’m caught in-between and i don’t know what’s going on in my life. the band i’ve loved for 6 years is dissolving before my eyes, and i don’t even know if i care (but i do, i just don’t want to have to). some people say i should move to nashville and hire myself out to whoever. but that’s not what i really want to do…that seems like i’m just a music whore. i want to be in a band with people that love to make music and are passionate about working hard to be the best band possible. that’s all i want. but i don’t know where or how to find it. it takes forever for me to get comfortable with new people, and it would be almost all new people if i moved. but at the same time, i’m sure there’s a bevy of musicians and that i could fit in. i’m simply sick of wasting the talent that i have (that’s not intended to be braggadocios, but i think i’ve been told enough times how good i am that maybe i should start to embrace it a little…and then get better). i want to be on stage, making people dance, sing and just love life.
