Bicycles!!! Travel!!!! Adventure...

...all without having to pay these outrageous gas prices. I owe quite a bit of money. I'll start taking care of that. I have to. Don't won't to be involved in any debt in this country.

I'm in love with bicycles. I felt so amazing tonight. Zipping around. Tackling hills, just begging for the downhill coast. Every time I even think about biking a smile spreads across my face. I'm still a noob to the biking world though and I'm eager to learn as much as I can.



I've got two shows back to back today. and I played full band at the bluebird on april 6th. I can't believe people loved it so much. It was so exciting. Although I feel like the employees at the bluebird are jack asses. Entirely rude to us. I'm still very ticked by that. When I turn 21 I don't think I'll give them much business.

I leave in two days!! I can't believe this. I've never seen a mountain. I don't know what to expect from Colorado, or Kansas for that matter!!! Kansas?!? I'll be in Lawrence though so it's alright. I can't wait to go. I just wanna ride bikes. even now. God!!!! I wanna ride bikes all day long. and play guitar and ride and then rest and play guitar and sing to people. I have a dream of cross-country biking. This is all grand of course. But, maybe one day I could. I dunno. I intend to be a nomad for several years and see and live everywhere. I think I'd like to visit new york one day although I feel like I'd stand out like sore thumb and that kind of excites me. I'd definitely go with a friend that could protect me lol. I'm rambling....

He's Got the Whole World in His Hands

These last two weeks have been strange and really uplifting and happy. Immense thanks. I just got a job. FINALLY! after 3 months of unemployment I am joining the workforce yet again. The ole car broke down and it's all biking from here on it. I'm looking forward to it. Get into good shape. Thankfully in Bloomington things are pretty close together, makes for an easier ride. Even better news, we found a house about a mile and a half west of campus and downtown. It's a five bedroom with two full baths and a basement with a few rooms leading off of it. It's a beautiful old house with seclusion and a history of music. I'll try and bag a few photos of it. I've been recording like crazy and writing everyday. trying to create more and more material. I'm working with putting together a full band for house parties and venues that would prefer full band to lone singer-songwriter. I've got many plans for the summer. I've begun working out taking a bus from Indy to Kansas to Colorado and back to Indy. Wakarusa's lineup is stellar and that's on my list as well. My friend Dylan and I are going to backpack through the Hoosier Trails which passes through the southern part of Bloomington all the way to the border of Kentucky. That last one has to happen. Ah, backpacks and tents, just walking and camping, maybe smoking, writing songs, catching fish and so on. Am I being too unrealistic. I can't help it. I have an overactive imagination.

I Was A Lover For a Week

I laid my hand on your forehead and checked your temperature
I kissed your eyelids, kissed the bridge of your nose and fell into a slumber
I ran my hands all along the physical nation that was your body
discovered new land and claimed it for my own

"You belong to me and when you have someone's belongings, you take care of them"

I've been clean from the ole scripts for several months now. I hadn't even thought of it until just now. How easy it has become to say no to those little white pills. It's astonishing really.

I moved to Bloomington a month and 9 days ago. My love flew the nest 15 days ago. I became a half two months and 14 days ago. I will be refreshed in 2 days. I will be a whole in two months and 28 days.

I'm going to Nashville in two days. I can't wait. I got asked to play in the broadripple music festival October 16th. I'll be playing at Indy Cd/Vinyl at 2:00 pm and then at 10:30 pm at the Jazz Kitchen w/mystikos quintet. Should be one hell of a time

Why keep such a huge part of me a secret. There are so many medicinal uses it's not even funny. When my mind gets all out of wack and I start to feel like I'm going crazy, it helps calm me down and think. Those who want to argue the legality and morality of marijuana are people I have no ears for.
Alcohol, this vile and toxic poison, is allowed to be sold and consumed. This vile poison, that creates an avenue for people to behave in such an animalistic and lustful nature, is considered better than a plant? the absurdity is mind boggling. and to think it's legality is based purely off of racism is not so surprising in this nation ran by conservative racists.

Of course, this is all opinion. I understand that it's not for everyone. and I understand all of the dark underbelly that comes with marijuana. But honestly which is worse, a severe drunk...or...a severe pothead? the pot head may be annoying, but the drunk is just downright sad. I'm done ranting about mary jane. No shame in being an advocate of decriminalization.

I should be careful of what I say. If ever I become famous, then everything'll be taken out of context

A Sigh/Winter Approaches

I wrote this for my bestfriend, the first minute is bullshit, but it gets better. I promise
