After an unhealthily long hiatus, I have decided to become a livejournalist once more, and edit regularly. I do realize that is not as monumental a feat to you as it is to me. I also realize that i have several times before decided to become a regular user. I do realize that you all have no certain reason to believe that this time shall be different, but i promise you, and make every anti-boy-who-cried-wolf claim and swear on my long lost gypsy sister's make believe grave that i will let you all know what goes on in my life, albeit a tired and boring one.<br /><br />The latest scoop....<br /><br />Well. I notice that i was about 19 years old at the time of my last entry, and now being of legal age to enjoy the grit and grime and drinks and harlots of new orleans, one would imagine there would be many a tale to tell. Well no, quite the opposite.<br /><br />i can divide my present state into six magnificently beautiful, and individually fantastic chunks:<br /><br /><br />1) Physical State- I am roughly the same height and weight that you would imagine i am. I have shorter hair and a bigger beard. My neck and shoulders are absurdly sore and tense. I have the greatest digestive system in the history of modern medicine.<br /><br />2) Mental State- I for a while there developed what is called "Seasonal Affective Disorder," a silly little problem with several equally silly solutions. Do you know how the sky changes when winter rolls around? Well when you have SAD (heh) you do. You know it big time and it freaks you out and you dont know why. Then you go to the doctor and he tells you the deal. The deal being: There isnt enough natural light to keep all your wires connected, so you get a bit lazy and sad, and start feeling like you are constantly *this* close to figuring out all these deep truths about life and existence. and then you realize you should probably aren't gonna do that. then you are told that there is therapy, pills, or this magic light box(!) that you look at and it makes everything that was at first amiss, connect and work spledidly. naturally the last choice sounded uberto me, but i just decided to work my way through it alone and fixed the whole thing, now i feel great. i dont have panic attacks or any sort of worries, because i have come to the universal truth that its much better to just not. <br /><br />3) Home- I live on the westbank for now, but am in the process of finding a suitable place for 3 friends and I. For the time being however, I sill reside with my mother and stepdad, and their two dogs. and my mothers collection of clay aiken memorabillia. and my secret but deep and intense hatred of the immediately previous.<br /><br />4) Job- I bartend. nothing incredible. I'd like to work in a book shop, and dabbled in pro baseball. I have a killer slider and a love for the ironists matched only by my love of a worn old leather glove, and reading the Believer, during the seventh inning stretch at Wrigley, while Harry Carey's ghost massages my tired, 18 strike-out arm.<br /><br />5) Favorites- I mostly eat healthy things now. I mostly drink southern comfort. I read Dave Eggers, Michael Chabon, and Chris Ware mostly. I mostly listen to things Alan Lomax recorded many yeard before I was a twinkle in my fathers eye. Or he in his fathers for that matter. I like old Appalachian folk songs, Old murder ballads and slave hymns. I also like new music. Mostly: Bonnie Prince Billy, the Decemberists, ---ok i have to stop right now to tell you all that while typing this, i saw an ad for a new Gene Simmons solo album. and it looks retarded. he covers firestarter by prodigy. they were retarded.i shouldnt use the word retarded. replace all previous uses with "really dumb"-- also i like Xiu Xiu, JOANNA NEWSOM, devandra barnhart, Neutral Milk Hotel, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Jolie Holland, and Kanye West.<br /><br />6) Hobbies- I read and write a lot. I sang in a rock group called Antenna Inn for a while. We just disbanded last week. Im pretty sure no one was hit too hard. I play drums and guitar in a superband called Silent CInema that you should listen to or at least pretend to when i see you. I like records. I like to cook. I like to shop. I am a girl.<br /><br /><br />Somewhere far away someone was beheaded, i ask for a moment that you think not of that, but of music. I need your help. <br />I want to start this new band.<br /><br />influences:<br /><br />neutral milk hotel<br />joanna newsom<br />texas gladden<br />old folk songs from appalachian america, the south, and the bahamas<br />leadbelly<br />prison hymns<br /><br />i need a violinist, a keyboardist and a percussionist<br />i would like: a lapsteel player, an accordion player, and a vibraphone player<br />i would love: if you bought me a new banjo<br /><br />let me know.<br /><br /> <br />i am not going to proofread this.<br />bye bye urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kerouack:10134 2003-04-01T01:55:51Z 2003-04-01T01:55:51Z the uncle tupelo anthology So last week i was at a thrift store with blandon, the day i bought my now infamous "cystic fibrosis" shoestrings, and i said "i want to find a super 8 camera and the breakfast at tiffanys score on vinyl."<br /><br />and today i found both at a thrift store in westwego. im happy.<br />practice went well. time to make some nachos. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kerouack:9508 2003-03-09T15:56:31Z 2003-03-09T15:56:31Z rock show tonight kids.<br /><br />my band is playing tonight at mamas blues with a pretty good band called ten grand. i like em. there are a couple other locals too. its 5 bucks and starts at 7 but it will probably run a little late.<br /><br />ten grand<br />antenna inn<br />last day ever<br />06A6 <br /><br />Mama's Blues <br />616 N.

This was the best show i have seen in a long time.<br /><br />We all got there early and got up in the front for dredg, they tore it down. The singer was one of the best new frontmen i have seen. He sang through a trumpet on a song and did various other tricks to get the vocal effects from the album. <br /><br />Anywho after dredg played we all left, and saw them outside. They talked to us for a long time and seemed pretty happy that we were there to see them. i talked to the singer about music and he mentioned that he liked he mentioned he liked deathcab for cutie which was wierd. anywho they loaded us with free shit and filmed davids tatoo and we jetted.<br /><br />other than that my nights have been pretty uneventful. work every night this week. <br /><br />Come to chevys tonight on the westbank and witness history being made. all four members of chas brosco are working there tonight for the first tiem ever and it should be a party. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:kerouack:7522 2002-08-06T06:56:06Z 2002-08-06T06:56:06Z So the other day my dad comes to town. He, Tiff, and I go to Bourbon street where i eat 16 raw oysters in a matter of 10 minutes or so. lLike 5 minutes after eating them i suddenly felt like dying. Not like stomach sick, but like just freak out panicky and shit. it was bad. and we walked around on bourbon street for like 3 hours after and i was still wiggin. i have heard that raw oysters are bad for you. and im guessing bourbon street is not the best place to eat a food that is that sketchy. Anyway, it fucking blew.<br /><br />The last couple of days i have been pretty out of it. Like people are talking and i dont really hear them at all. I think I was just exhausted. We went to white linen night the other night and i just kinda walked aroudn in all the galleries with my mind a total blank. I ran into a lot of interesting people and saw a lot of good artwork.<br /><br />I felt better today though, i went to Antenna Inn practice and then to work which was fucking stupid. the new manager can blow me in hell.<br /><br />Im playing with two bands this fridayat the Ark: Chas Brosco and Antenna Inn. Antenna Inn has elements of tortoise-ish jazz, ATDI "screamo", and hum. Come see us.
