I got another Tom Waits Bootleg. So good live... ugh, i need to see him SO badly.

Fall Of Troy
Tom Waits

It's the same with men as with horses and dogs
Nothing wants to die
Evelyn James they killed in a game
with guns too big for their hands
just off St. Charles in No-Mans Land
and you'll have to find your own way home.
Boys, you'll have to find your own way home.

The oldest was Troy, an eighteen year-old boy
Shot dead in March during a robbery
his brother started out to hell and to ruin
Troy's killer was never caught they say.
Young nick he just went bad that day
Now he'll have to find his own way home.
Boys, he'll have to find his own way home.

Why cook dinner?
Why make my bed?
Why come home at all?

Out the door and through the woods
There is a world where nothing grows
It's hard to say grace and to sit in the place
Of someone missing at the table
Mom's hair sprayed tight
And her face in her hands
Watching TV for answers to me
After all she's only human
And she's trying to find her own way home.
Boys, she's trying to find her own way home.

My legs ache
My heart is sore
The well is full of pennies.

I'd cave in sooner or later

[01] Reply with your name and I will write something about you.

[02] I will then tell you what song/BAND reminds me of you.

[03] Next, I will tell you who you remind me of, celebrity/animated or otherwise.

[04] Last, I will try to name a single word that best describes you.

[05] Put this in your journal.

great line of the day:
"If you were my girlfriend, I'd kiss you"
"That's why you're not my boyfriend"

other news... Im gonna quit the band with Lucas because he's an evil sonofabitch who crossed a big fucking line. did work tonight... yay me... I wanna die, i dont care how, down south louisiana and grey grey skys.... around nine i went over to Axe and saw Donovan somethin or other, Jackson Brown, Jack Johnson, ben harper, the guitarist from jack shit and a few others all take turns playing for a benefit... good times... though i kind of hate a lot of that stuff, it was fun to be at and Ben Harper is quite good as was Jackson... regardless of him being jackson browne middle of the road kind of boring... yeah life... Edge is off in the far reaches of the north country. Hope shes faring alright. I dont know what im gonna do with myself though. I need to talk to Kayla but i have no free period tomorrow. maybe ill grab her at lunch and throw her in my car.
Patricks show is tonight, any one wanna listen?

Stop )

Sun, Jan. 16th, 2005, 02:49 am
When I walk down the street men be pinnin' women to there side

can a weekend get any better?
Nope.
Friday: Date with Edge and saw Geoff Muldaur... I dont know what else to do but smile.
Saturday: Top ten moments of my life. My first paid acoustic gig:
I arrive Im deathly nervous, I'm playing for T motherfucking Bone Burnett's gambling birthday party. I arrive and get to play a nineteen twenty seven Gibson thats the best guitar ive ever played. period. I proceed to play my resonator for multiple hours all while people like Dennis Hopper is telling me how much he likes my paying and people appreciated my playing and understood it and got it. i Durmot Mulroney played Cello with me tonight... Jesse Dylan asked me if Id hang out with his kid and teach him to play... good god... and the night goes on like this... at the end of the night, I get fucking paid! then, I get to hang out with t bone. T Bone is an honest to god hero to me. I talk Henry Thomas, Washington Phillips, Muddy Waters and Skip James with him. He plays me a song he just wrote and then tells me that I have to call him some time because he'd like to play with me sometime real soon... I cant even breathe. oh, and I played jug tonight.

and the best part about the whole weekend is this little dame named Edge.

Tue, Jan. 11th, 2005, 09:46 pm
im cryin out my eyes, but i cannot see, ill meet you at the station when the train comes along

I'm not really expecting anybody to read this-its five pages- but I'm very very personal in this essay. More personal then I've ever been about my father... Im totally drained from it.

Dirt )

Sun, Jan. 9th, 2005, 11:24 pm
probably best to skip this one... not being modest, just honest

well, ive never felt so sick ever as on friday. I simply couldnt move. hung out with edge on saturday, awesome. today i didnt leave the house... yeah well... did all my mitch homework.. (jake did his homework... good god...) i got plenty to say but not the capacity to say it. Ive been reading other peoples ljs lately. I mean they are all with in what id call my pretty immediate group of friends, none that I know amazingly well...

Sara might leave school. Sara will leave school. what shall we do?
we must do something we must we must
a party a hoopla a circus or bust
a celebration for our friend who has meant so much
who has brought a hint of darkness
much before the dusk
Sara is leaving... i dontknow... i mean shes been one of my bestfriends for a long time. But a very weird bestfriend. the kind of best friend that you kind of dont think of when you think of bestfriend, but then you think hey, wait a minute they actually now me better then I know me... down to that one time I asked them out and didnt even know it.... yeah weve had a lot of every moment, and Im gonna be awful sad to not see her and aesthetically pleasing nature at school... but i guess its a touch of preparation for next years mass collegiate diasporas.
miss patrick... usual...
there are some very cool people that make up a sort of social group, not exclusive in any form, but its rather interesting because Ive become loose friends with all of them at one point or another but havent really entered the group... dont know why I like the hell out of all of them... i guess ive been to much in my own head... bah, dont read this... it doesnt make any sense... Sarah Gray did something royal stupid, and I hope she gets this shit sorted out. my dear friend Saskia just IMmed me... shes so amazing. AMAZING like woah. one of those next miss americas except first shell find a cure for cancer then aids (the gay cancer).
that was a waste

I wrote a new song. It's Called Take Me Back. (Yes, I do steal the Traditional line, shut up). if you want it, IM me at Funnyfolkguy


on another note:

“Well the blues, Alan, is uh, I always just called it, just uh, plain old being lonesome. Now a lot of people don't think that’s a big enough word. But then, you can get lonesome for a lot of things. Uh, people down where I come from they’re lonesome fer a job, they’re lonesome fer some spending money, lonesome fer some drinking whiskey, lonesome fer a good time, pretty gals, wine, woman and song like they see stuck up in their face everyday by other people. Thinkin' maybe that'ch’you're, ye know, down and out, and disgusted and busted and can't be trusted; why, gives you a lonesome feelin' that somehow the world's sorta turned against ye, er theres something about it you dont understand. Bein’ out of work, bein’ lonesome or yer there bein’ in jail. And actually some of the best blues come from jailhouses, uh, where people are put uh for different reasons they... blues… awful popular in jails. The blues is uhm sort of a complaint, er I mean a lament, er i mean, sort of a hellrasing in your own system of something you wanna get out you wanna sing about you know there's something wrong, and you look around and you see alot of things that you thinks sort of causing things to be hard n' you just come in get t’ singin' the blues er somethin’.”
-Woody Guthrie

Tue, Dec. 14th, 2004, 10:52 pm

yeah well...
long week so far. or since Friday.
I went to a lovely party where i pissed and moaned about my life and had some very cute girls fain interest. Got home at 12:30, asleep an hour later. woke up at 5 to drive my dad and mari to the airport. Got gasoline at six ten near the airport. went back to peters, cleaned the place up, and went home. My little brother was awake for a soccer game and I did all my homework was finished by ninethirty. Spent most of the day recording a song... Then a trip to McCabes for Patrick's gift... A Concertina... the coolest instrument ever. It's essentially what you think of when you think sea shanty accordian. anyways, went and worked at a a McCabes show around six, worked til midnight, got home patrick called.
Next thing Erin calls, I go out with Francomono, his date Rocky, Miles and Erin at one. We explore Karaoke and I got low and lonesome like a po' boy feel. it was great seeing franco though, and I traded numbers with Rocky as shell be in San Fran same time as I will. anyways get to bed at around two. saturday was a twenty two hour day on three and a half hours of sleep. Sunday i got up around seven because my mom is nuts. I did stuff all day that now i dont remember. regardless, Monday blah nothing really...
TODAY:
AWFUL.
woke up late got the girls late parked in ralphs then straight to class... wanted to go off campus during lunch but no one wanted too. Talked with Kate and that was a highlight today. I really like her as a person, she's very funny and pretty genuine. I really admire our group, We dont have (m)anybody that seems to be faking too much, well except me of course, but thats just because life is that hard because im not in the depression. after lunch Jiro's class, great and awful. Im gonna kill the freshmen.
this is where the story begins. I go and get my jew shot (to keep the horns from growing). Sara doesnt come with me so im lonesome and bored. This one hurts like hell. I go home and do my math work. I had called up papa johns earlier to order a pizza. the 411 connects me to first off the wrong papa johns, they say no worries and then "connect" me to the other one via computer, except that this didnt happen, and as such I place my order and leave at five thirty to pick it up. I arrive on time at the place, 5:45, and they tell me they dont have my pizza, i never ordered it. they check and recheck then call the other stores. its in westwood he says. He gives me bum directions and at this point I havent eaten all day, my arm is pulsating with pain, my head kills, I have no good music in my car (well that im in the mood for) Patrick was a witness to a shooting so hes busy with the cops, THe traffic is heavy as hell and ive been cut off more times than id care to count, all for some fucking pizza. I drive to the next spot on wilshire were they once more tell me its not there. Im ready to kill at this point, I hop back in my car with blood in my eyes. I breathe deep and put on Gwen Stefani's new album to check it out, perhaps analysis will calm me down... Its awful. Its horrid its dogshit save the first song which makes the entire album almost worth it. It raises the album from a two out of ten to a six. I finally get to the pizza place and the guy hasnt made the pepperoni pizza. Im an hour late, and they havent made one of the pizzas. They charge me fullprice and dont give me the two liter coke. I get back in my car finish the gwen record and get to school. I walk in the door and hear a loud You suck Jake. I kind of snapped at this and wanted to just totally lose and start crying. I yelled back, I suck? I drove to three different goddamned places for this pizza. I wanted to yell, Fuck you, lets see you take care of this when youve accumulated under 18 hours of sleep in the past five days, thats averaging three hours of sleep a night, Luckily however, I had many friends there who were, in fact, grateful, thank you to Emily for really sincerely thanking me. and adam was so sweet. and Elyse, ah hell, shes one of the sweetest girls I know. I could go on and on about how amazing and strong and sympathetic and loyal and what a good friend she is, but she'd hate that and would call me pathetic. eheu.
i get home and finish Dylan's book. I loved it. amazing.
I wrote a new song... imma post it too

It’s newly night
And there’s neon light
Filling up the air
A man once told me
You can’t treat everybody right
But you can treat ‘em fair

When you Live and die young
Your corpse looks to good
To simply rest in a tomb
give and try some
you might just find out
that there’s no room

I watched you wander
From the penny arcades
Your head was like a dollar
the high-sheriff led the parade
Your life has no place to go but to disintegrate
‘cause that bottle’s been half empty for days

I don’t know what to tell ye
You know it just as well
The rich mans heaven
Is the poor mans hell

People are like vanity
They always care too much
one day it’ll swallow me
Nothing matters any more but your touch

but the teeth that you use for gaping
have all gone to hell
you can’t find anyone
who preaches like Willie McTell
crying and laughing are never the same
and the bottle’s been half empty for days

and thats me right now.
PS two exams, an inclass essay and a paper. Party on.
