Utah

Oh Utah! Oh state of the Ute, the mountains, the mormons. How easily I have loved you! What an unexpectedly wonderful love this has been!

the factory

The gentle easy ebb of love
of eternal peace and love
I want to have lived then as they did.


I will.

They steared the culture at the pinnacle of a great wave.
But then it was found out
Andy Warhol's fate.
It couldn't go on, all these beautiful strange people.

The wreck that you are is fine, they would say.
The wreck that you are was fine, they now say.

Guys like me, thats what the world needs.
I am a guy like me! And now,
all we need is hammocks for everyone.
It must be fun watching me fail at what is most important.


A new mood began to spread
there were
unrest
decay
drug use
peril
heroin and darkness
Falling down the side of a great mountain in the west would have been easier.

THIS is a disgusting human being.
Amphetamines halucinogins
this world, our country, it's the most
wonderful terrible thing.
The psychic mood in the factories
was anger.

We --- were --- sucked --- dry.

When I remember,
what disturbs me most
is this:

They were killing themselves from him
and he didn't do a damn thing about it.



He didn't even try.

life

Sunday night I went to wally world to buy a bicycle pump and I walked around and looked at all the walmart people and felt empty, oh so empty. Not in a bad way. The kind of emptiness that screams potential. I bought my bike pump and a notebook and began writing in the notebook, and it's been nice. Fun, carefree, refreshing. I draw crappy pictures, and when I feel particularly passionate, I use 3 lines to write a word instead of one line. You know how good that feels?

I am breaking free. I've been in a funk lately - watching tv every day, dreading work, and generally doing nothing in the department of creativity.

So, the tv watching is ended. Instead, in the evenings, I am doing other things.

Recent events in the world include:

5th anniversary of 9/ll attacks (yesterday)
1st anniversary of Katrina (end of August)
Alligator Hunter is killed by a sting ray (early September)
City of Dallas tries to ban the fashion habit of sagging pants (WHO CARES?!?!? Stupid hypocrits)
Humanity continues its self destruction, killing all life forms in its path.

I almost forgot! This Friday I am going to Austin City Limits Music Festival for the first time ever. I am so excited I could explode! Anybody else going who reads this thing? Call meE!!!!!!!!!! I will see Gnarles Barkley, Ray Lamontagne, Los Lonely Boys, and hopefully learn about a bunch of other cool music. Life is not all bad. :)
