I was told the other day by a friend that she had been checking this in hopes that I would update it soon and seeing as how I have some time and my life has been kinda picking up a bit I decided I would update this just for Michelle.

A person who I hold very close to my heart has returned from Brooklyn for a couple weeks and when he walked into the shitty club that we were meeting at I felt as if my organs began vibrating with joy. I've been having trouble sleeping lately and it just got so much worse since he returned.

I met him a couple years ago while working at Urban Outfitters and it was insane to find out how much we had in common. When he is around I feel like I vomit good ideas left and right while suffering from a serious case of creative diarrhea. He was my motivation for starting this brokenteeth.org thing, which will be up and running very soon, I promise. He currently has me stoked on getting back into djing again, which I have been wanting to do for a while. Hopefully this time next year I will be killing the dance floor at his annual party that he throws when he returns to Dallas.

I rarely miss people when they aren't around, maybe it's because I'm a grumpy old asshole as Jade would say, but when he isn't around I genuinely feel sad.

The next couple weeks will be full of dancing, good music, art, great food and the drunken shenanigans of my friends. I'm gonna try and soak up enough to last me for the next couple months.

I'm going to L.A. tomorrow for some much needed vacation. I will be taking lots of pictures and eating lots of food. I will share upon my return.

I say air

Life is very strange lately. As the summer loosens it's stranglehold on me I can't help but feel that I spent the whole time that it was here hiding. Lots of new things and people popped up over the summer that have made my life a bit more awesome than it was before the sweltering heat rolled in, but I still can't help but feel as though I'm stuck. I feel like I'm drowning in my ideas most of the time and when I finally get a chance to come up for air, all I can think about is breathing and everything else is washed away.

I need balance.

I guess at this point I don't have much room to complain. I have made about 12 different t-shirt designs for one of my favorite bands ever and there is a good chance that at least 2 will see the light of day. I have a loose plan of action to finally make music with someone that I consider to have been made from the same strange psychological mold as myself. I have a weekly internet radio show that people actually listen to and enjoy. I don't know. I guess I just wish that there could be a a few different copies of me who could focus on various elements of my life so that they all could get the attention they deserve and be successful. Maybe one day I will be able to figure this all out... maybe...

I really hope that some day I can make this blog a piece of art like Michelle's, but she's educated and what not so I'm not holding my breath. I'm just gonna focus on not having too many misspelled words for the moment.
