So..last night , sitting on the deck , .at my friends amazing home in the canyon, looking at the hollywood sign.-
whilst listening to neil sing “journey through time”.and it rained like i was back in vancouver-
i found myself reflecting on Thanksgiving- ..and you know what…when you really think about it ,
it’s a very special 24 hours .. a rare tiny pocket of time – just prior to impending xmas-anxiety-pomp-n-circumstance -that is meant only to be spent eating and “giving thanks”..with your most loved people -
and in that moment ..listening to rain and neil…
i realized exactly what i am trully ,
at my self-centered core, most grateful for:
the added things in my life that i dont NEED to live,
but make living a fuck of alot funner:
they are: you( my friends/family) and music. those are the two bests.
most important and cherised by me. they ( you & music) bring upon most of my epic moments.
So , on the eve of Thanksgiving.(tonight: wednesday november 26th 2008 ), in honor of you and music,
im going to the go sit at the coolest little unpretensious bar in hollywood,
drink a redbull or two..and let really fun friends entertain me with the greatest luxury i have:
kickass music..
you + the music + me.. bestever.
please come and ill share my gratitude for your prescence in my life and buy you a cocktail and we can toast our awesome crazy music filled lives.
luv

So it only took me like twenty jesus-F-ing years to discover what could be some of my MOST favorited music...
embarrassing part: all of it has been RIGHT infornt of me.
Let me clarify..by right infront of me , i mean, yes-this is all older music ..and it's been out there, in the world for years..
BUT i mean it literally:
disclaimer: this is all bad..this fuckin music on tv……its not interesting..Nothing makes me feel like dancing or singing or screwing or however music has /should make one feel…i feel aghast.
music my peers made.
I know there are great musicians out there- making awesome stuff right now..but it sure as hell isnt making it to MTV or Vh1.
While torturing myself, amid those ethel merman style-singers( thank for the description, mr. howerdel ) i ‘ve heard no less than 3 MYSPACE references……..UHM …People, do we forget ?: What’s the first rule of fight club?

i remember being in grade nine, during springbreak..i was in whistler, at my parents-with a few girls staying w/ us for the vacation..there was also a group of boys, staying down the street with the dewolfes…This song..actually whole album, reminds me of being freezing cold, drinking shitmix and beer, and everyone wanting to hookup- lots of mini fights- and lots of makeing-out….and the bb’s playing constantly.
