Liam is a friend, he does great poetry. Here’s one.
It looks like on again
off again
rain day
with moving sky
and dancing air
off again
on again
beautiful bubble
sky
Birds running
from the chance of rain
on again
off again

damn I just got all excited thinking about Flatstock. Talk about going in there and bleeding cash… aw sheeeeeit.
Looking for the right kind of live free or die…
I want to see your smile through a pay phone
The season has changed
I want to see you in it
The lights that shine are caustic without you.
When we’re all passed over
The rhythm of the river will remain
And it will remain
Nicotine and waiting
Just wanted to keep it alive
You turn and before you know it
We’re just threading this needle for life
A brighter way is what you prove
Anesthetize is what you do.
When we’re all passed over
The rhythm of the river will remain
And it will remain
Someday we’ll be together
Farther south than the train line
The Delta mud will be there
We’re just living this way
Because we know no other
When we’re all passed over
The rhythm of the river will remain
And it will remain
Looking for the right kind of live free or die
Thank god for David Cross. That man makes me smile even when I think I cannot. I’m so lucky to have most of his stuff on my ipod.
I was hoping things would start looking a little brighter after I got done with the recent events that had been sucking the life out of me. I was looking forward to getting back into a regular sort of workweek - spending time with friends, prepping to move (again) and heading out to SXSW, with a quick trip to see the man in my life, who is in TX right now.
Everything but the quick trip is happening. And so I should be still grinning, because I get to do all the rest, but I’m just all shades of blue right now. The uncertainty is a bit more than I can stand right now.
And my boss bought me a bouquet of flowers for my desk yesterday. With callalillies. I love those flowers. Yeah, it’s great to work for someone that sees the effort that goes into producing a successful event.
It’s for comments like these:
“DocuDay was absolutely outstanding. I attended the entire event and am a new person for it. Bless you all for the ways in which you contribute to the production of such events and works of art/education.”
That is why. And to me, documentaries are the underdog films of the world, and I’ve always rooted for the underdog.
alright, I’ve been super terrible at updating this blog. But all should know that I’ve been updating my myspace blog and if you’re listed as a friend on that page, then you can read what’s there.
ALOT has happened this year. Some bad, some good. Overall immense changes to my life, it’s been a year of serious upheaval… and somewhere I heard that Year of the Pig was overall a great year for all. I can’t say it was the favorite year of my life, at all. But it brought me several jobs and job offers, it brought me love, it brought me new friends. It also was a year that tried my soul on many levels, and tried many friendships as well.
It brought me from the deserts of NM to the East Coast, then back to Texas and then to NM and on to the City of Angels on the West Coast. It has given me new viewpoints on places and people and the value of friends and family in my life.
It’s brought me to a sense of realization of what is important in life, or reaffirmed what I already knew. It’s been a year of lessons, and a year of change.
Thanks to all who’ve ever walked a portion of this path with me, this life. I’m blessed to have many friends.
I’m in NM at my Dad’s house presently, but I’ve started a new job in LA and I’m looking forward to continuing on with the learning process, and making new friends. And hopefully, seeing many of you. Come visit!

Wondering where to get it?
This website right here can help you locate a biodiesel retailer.
meditation for the day/week/month/year
ha. I love this one, and it’s sooooo appropriate today…
“Meditate with compassion for the ignorant.”
Yep, that is taken right out of a book of meditations… perfect for today, isn’t it…
