I was watching Garden State (yes, again, cause I'm easily addicted) the other day and thinking, 'Yeah, I can relate to that... just feeling, like, numb...'
But then I was thinking about it afterwards and I kind of realized that I feel that way only a very small fraction of the time.

I just wanted to post a thank you to everyone who came out to the show last night at O'Shea's. It was awesome and everyone was super nice and it just felt great! EL played an awesome set, and I want to thank them as well for the invite and for being such gracious hosts. thanks for letting me rock the marshall last night Wood, it was a great treat!

So yesterday was friggin' awesome. WPRK up in Orlando had us on their 110 hour benefit to raise money, as they are an indie station and need help financially... (Donate at www.110hours.org)
We played a 6 song set, but could have played longer I guess. It was kind of a rush to make sure we were setup and ready on time, but when we started playing it was keithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08589770165035590291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893093.post-1105924879613797112005-01-16T20:19:00.000-05:002005-01-16T20:21:19.613-05:00I need a whole band.

It's nice to hear kind words when you spill out a piece of your brain on a silly little website... I don't know. It makes me feel less alone I guess. So as a reminder, some of the things I write on here in song/poem style are fictions and some aren't.

It seems like every time I see Jimmy Eat World play live I want to just rock for weeks. That band is absolutely the best live band I ever get the opportunity to see (next to Wilco, who are coming next month! woohoo!)

So I am supposed to see the finalized record art today for Whisper Louder. Then we'll send it off to press. I'm so stoked. It's funny, it feels old to me now, but noone has heard it finished yet except me, JR, and the guys from the label. I'm excited as hell and a little scared to release it.

Between allergies and coughing and the whole lot of stuff I've got going on personally, I stay up all nite and feel (quite literally) crazy by the morning time. It will all soon pass though, I'm sure. Just need to hang in here... Jake's coming for a visit and should be here today sometime.

boredom stands on a border drawn
by a sleight of hand with a question mark
erased
and re-drawn in a lighter shade...
and who the hell do you think you are?
with fucking dollar signs where your eyelids are,
or should be...
either way, it's your disease...
one drop starts a waterfall
starts a tidal wave
and the slightest storm
un-makes
every thing you'll ever love...

I always kinda wonder what makes the evenings 'tick' in the way that they do at the ol' Bull on sunday nites. I get the feeling that it's a combination of the drink flow, the energy I put out musically, and the shit I talk frequently.
It's funny. I never really think that I take myself too seriously.

I stumble across this flying V looking guitar with dimes stuck all over it... I was like "holy shit, there is a Dimebag Darrell guitar in the friggin' Hard Rock???"
When I was 16 or 17, I learned the songs "Cowboys from Hell" and "Walk" to a note.

So here is the deal. This year I've read both Johnny Cash's autobiog, "CASH" and Chicago author Greg Kot's book on Wilco, "Learning How to Die". Two of my biggest heroes (Cash & Jeff Tweedy) decided at some point in their careers that the drugs and/or drinking simply did not work.
