it goes while you're here, i wanna tell you something...

just got home from seeing sahra off at the train station. what a whirlwind week we had. in one week, i had to work three nights, did two solo shows, jammed with the band twice, did a photo shoot with the band, had lunch with my mom, lunch with my bro/sis-in-law/nephew, ate nothing but restaurant and/or take-out food, and got sauced pretty much every night. whew...

weird feelings i'm experiencing right now. it's a difficult transition we're making. six months ago i was living in montreal and we were together, serious. then i move back here. we're in limbo. now we're "broken up," but, it's out of necessity, due to distance, not out of any i-don't-want-to-be-with-you-anymore type of feelings...

the first few days she was here, i felt a bit weird, like, am i supposed to be able to just jump back into something for a week, after spending the last few months getting used to being single again? i don't know. time will reveal how this story works itself out...

played a show last night. first we went to a local art gallery, where they had local graf artists painting canvases in the alley out back. saw a few cool pieces, but a lot of mediocrity as well. i guess that's how it goes. there was a decent turn-out at the bar. some local group called "sound minds" performed, they were less than impressive. then a jazz-hop band called "jazz in your face," again, i wasn't too into it. then some dj cat did a scratch set. by the time i went on at 1:30, half the people had left already. still, i rocked out to the 30 people who were left, and had a good time. sold out of the cds i had on me. some cat was filming. saw a few other cats taking pictures. i hope you all get at me with those...

my stomach is fucked today. i'm on the can every half hour. must be a week's worth of crap food and beer. i'm back on the diet starting now. water and salad and chicken and barefoot running and heavy metal push-ups. ..

got another gig on weds. back at the same bar, the embassy. this time with moka only and the quartertones. check 'em both out on their sites. ..

listen to these records. your life will be better for it...
