.realization (mid-month update).

PENIS!!yesterday was ben's benefit concert at "freebirds live" at the beaches, where he left us. i wish more of you would've been able to come out, but there was a good good good amount of people there helpin to support the cabacungan fam. i want to thank everyone who came out, the bands who participated to make this so special, and of course those at freebirds who've allowed the whole thing to go off without a hitch.

the bands included:
evolemo
devereux
allele
opiate
mr. beam
trite
asamov
cue estey (QST)
dj intellect (dammit, dylan... call me, son... gew!)

i had a good time... i hope everyone else did, also. BTW, freebirds has no plans of fixing the old front door that drunk motherfucker ran through; instead there is now a big ass piece of plywood there that will never come down that you can sign, if you can find a space... B.Y.O.Sharpie.

so yeah, it's been awhile since i've updated. vy was (yo, james... you got dogged with that "wifey" crap, man) here last week, so you know, i didnt want to waste my time reflectin on memories rather than makin new ones, you know what i'm sayin? but during the time past i've come to realize that aspects of myself need to be "tweaked."

let's take for example my new found nickname, thanks to rainer and mike... "slowness." apparently, 1. i do everything slower than normal. from grubbin to drivin, there's no sense of urgency in what i do. and as much as i try to deny it, i am fully aware of my actions.

another nuance i've noticed is my 2. dwindling attention span and my 3. increasing laziness. in addition to being slow as a mofo, the things that i need to get done get so little focus... i.e. laundry. my wardrobe has amassed into an uncontrollable blubbering behemoth. there's no way in hell i'm washing all of it... there's too much of it and costs too much, so i cut it short the amount i do and let some of it sit there... for months... not exactly awe inspiring, is it?

i could go on, but i think you get the point. i've already taken steps to improve myself, mainly kicking soda binge, downgrading my smoking, and working on my endurance. daily goals fucking help a lot to... did you know that? it's like a shopping list for your life.

fucking magical... anyway... outtie... here some picutes from the event... thanks to daisy and gerilyn.

.time still stands.

just a poem... i'm having trouble sleeping...
BTW, i hope you set your clocks ahead an hour...
dont be like me... refusing to conform with society!


time...

stands...

still...

and i'm there
just a moment when you're

unaware

i take a glance, a breath, a relative second
as the flash injects into the air
and it's done
before you even notice

blind to my intentions
you pass me a smile
which, too, imprints on my face

even now as we're apart
for what seems an eternity
my smile remains
falling back on my memory
it helps...

stand...

still...

time...

but memory's limit is far too short
and tangible expressions are far too simple
to duplicate
you

i try and i try to fall back
into your compassion
i just miss
you

everyday i feel drained
using all my energy
i try
but all my efforts are in vain...

still...

time...

stands...
...
