"My mother had a boyfriend named Pedro for like eight years....

He'd wake me up when he come home from managing a night club, wanting to joke around and play
I must have been around seven or so and it really creeped me out, especially the stench of Malibu rum coming from every pore of his skin.

You remind me of him."
-Shirt Tail
(Animal Collective forum)

Almost 5, can't wait to go home and take a nap
Work was pretty intense today and getting 2 hours of sleep last night did not help
Actually, scratch the nap part
I'm totally going out tonight

So, I kept nodding off at work
I was using my scarf as a blindfold
My co-worker was giving me pretty weird looks
I was even thinking about going to one of the empty offices to take a nap, but I drank a Mocha frap and was okay

Tunes that got me through the day

Hercules and Love Affair - Hercules Theme
(The only version I could find was this lame fan-made video...)


The Juan MacLean - Happy House


The Beatles - Yer Blues


Grandaddy - Nature Anthem


P.J. Olsson - The Whistle Song


Of Montreal - Wrath Pinned To The Mist and Other Games


The Smiths - This Charming Man

2009


2008 has been an amazing year, full of great adventures
Events
People
Opportunities

and Surprises

Sure it's had its... uh... not-so-great moments
But it all turned out okay
Well, more than okay
2008 was off it's tits for sure

It is exciting (...albeit sad) watching the year slowly (...or perhaps rather quickly?) come to an end

But anywho
2009...

I have over-the-top expectations and I hope that I don't let myself down
In the end... it's really up to me, I suppose

Everything can be and will be...

replaced.




Complicity sounds like a woman's name, yet compliance sounds like the name of a machine that washes, erases, destroys.




I see no reflection







there is no video

but you know you can't hide


when the devil's your only friend


It's sad to fall asleep
It separates people
Even when you're sleeping together, you're all alone




I'm afraid of growing old

Tonight's tunes


Serge Gainsbourg - Couleur Cafe


Jacques Brel - Jef


Jacques Du Tronc - Fais Pas Ci fais Pas Ca


Chet Baker - Send In The Clowns (feat Van Morrison)


Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine (feat Stan Getz)


Nat King Cole - You're Looking At Me


John Coltrane - Every Time We Say Goodbye






Goodnight

and you're sick of all this repetition


When all of your advisers heave their plastic
At your feet to convince you of your pain
Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic


And your father to your sister he explains
That you're tired of yourself and all of your creations


And you want somebody you don't have to speak to


Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?

Tonight's song
Grizzly Bear - Knife

A sailor has to masturbate until the ship lands,

A lot of things happen out on the open sea...








If one were to take the bible seriously one would go mad
But to take the bible seriously, one must be already mad



Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people.



Smile.
Not too much.



I want to confess as best I can, but my heart is void
The void is a mirror
I see my face and feel loathing and horror
My indifference to men has shut me out
I live now in a world of ghosts, a prisoner in my dreams



Sometimes if you want to get rid of the gun, you have to pick the gun up.



You look at me like I'm the strangest wanderer you've ever seen
And I got so strange from going where you ain't never been


Tonight's tunes



Philip Glass - From Wichita Vortex Sutra



Franz Liszt - Liebestraum



Modest Petrovich - Mussorgsky



Jean Sibelius - Valse Triste



Franz Schubert - Die Unvollendete




Goodnight/morning

You look great...


when i'm high




I think I've decided that I only want to have one kid (...two, at the most)
I fear that I'll love one more than the other
And don't you tell me "that's not how it works!", because it totally is

I am so tired right now



I don't really have much to say tonight


Night

There was once a wives tale that children originate as twins within the womb,


but throughout the pregnancy one of the twins devours it's sibling. The surviving twin is tortured with the guilt of having the "vanished twin" within them, the other twin's shadow haunting them for life.




So I went to the Deerhunter concert tonight... against my better judgment
Sucks I have to wake up at 6:45 tomorrow
Why am I updating this right now?

Oh right,
I wanted to post about this before I forgot

So, I'm at the concert and these 5 dudes and girls are next to me
They are SO hammered
I can hear them yelling/slurring their words
They were clearly on ecstasy or some shit, because their eyes were rolling to the back of their heads
They were being so annoying

Jesus christ
I needed a drink so bad

Kids...
if you are going to do drugs, don't do them in public
Not only is there a chance of getting in trouble with the law, you are also annoying as all fuck to the concertgoers around you

Anywho...
DEERHUNTER was amazing
I missed the first song (Cryptograms... just my luck)
But... holy. shit.
They were amazing
Agoraphobia was extra noisy live
So loud
Ears hurt



A: What a pretty postcard
B: Why are you crying?
A: ...because i'd like to be both yellow animals at the same time
B: Always asking for the impossible
A: I'll take my drum and beat it



When we talked, I talked about me, you talked about you, when we should have talked about each other.



We'd often go to the movies
We'd shiver as the screen lit up
But more often, she and I would be disappointed
More often we'd be disappointed
The images flickered
Marilyn Monroe looked terribly old
It saddened us
It wasn't the film we had dreamed, the film we all carried in our hearts, the film we wanted to make...
and secretly wanted to live



Man can build his greatness on the nothingness that crushes him.



If I have been feeling worried or sad during the day, I have a habit of recalling scenes from childhood to calm me....
So it was this evening



Our crusade was such madness that only a real idealist could have thought it up.


Tonight's songs
The Beatles - I will



Pulp - Babies



Animal Collective - My Girls (Live at Coachella 2008)



Air - La Femme D'argent



Elvis Costello - (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding



Goodnight/morning
