[soundtrack to life: Golden Palace OMG! ]
hey hey, ho ho! I am watching Golden Palace, the sequel to Golden Girls, sans Dorothy Zbornak.George Burns is on the program right now, who I consider the missing link between man and ape, is that cruel? I dont care. Anyways, speaking of secrets, I have just joined my first craftster.com swap. What is a swap? ok well a swap is an organized mailing ring of people specified to some kind of media, typically some kind of music or movie theme etc. This one is from Post Secret which is a blog through Blogger, where a person in Germantown(I think) Maryland. Anyways, PS is a site where people mail this man post cards with secrets, big or small on them, and he posts them online at this site. Everything is annonymus. So this swap should be fun, kind of secretive, but with each mail out I will recieve a secret from someone else. I can't wait.
In other news, I just saw Sufjan Stevens thats pronounced Soof-yan. I formulated a lot of thoughts on Generation X-ers and how I suppose that makes me a Gen Z and what does that make the little ones, Gen A's?I dunno, yes I know it's just a saying, but anyway. OK so my thoughts on Sufjan are that I really like his music, it just insn't what I generally would listen to on my own. It was a wonderful show, the opener was like a young Neil Young, it was horr-en-DUS! But the second act was this group of two young girls that were about 12, one played drums one played keyboard and sang. I ran into one in the bathroom before they went on and she asked me if I had ever heard of them, the answer was no.
Ok my thoughts on Gen X is that they are not familiar with "dance". No one was moving, it was like the people were more interested and fascinated with the music and its production, which was somewhat of a nice change than the usual. I was the only one even swaying to the music. I also happen to know some Gen Y's, Y being between 25 and 30, and I like them. I do tend to feel like the baby, but that's just because I am! Anyways, I recently went to a rooftop party on Waverly where it meets Christopher st. There is a totally difference in attitude and energy. People who are older tend to have their energy more aligned I guess and they all have normal jobs and normal lives with an agenda, no crazy work and sleep and school schedules.
Anyways there are my thoughts I had a few more, but I don't remember them right now.
I am home currently, visiting some friends and family only for a few days. It is nice. As soon as I get home on thursday I go to work and after work I begin the moving process. It will be certainly interesting. I can't wait to get back to Brooklyn.
Well catch up to you soon!

[soundtrack to life : iron and wine ]
ok folks, time for another beloved fotolog:
row one: my beloved looks over the water, the willy-B, we are on stella!, ""
row two: trees in mcgolric park, knitting factory with rachel, ris paul ric, ""
row 3: me, more me, i am happy to be in williamsburg, rachel has pretty flowers at her house
row 4: we make chalkings on rachels drive, "", the three of us in chalk form, a pretty sunset
ok so now for the blogging!
what is new: hmm, i went to see my new abode on monday, but wait there is more before:
ok rachel came up to visit/ drool with me over chris richards on saturday i met up with her and fam. we went to moma and saw some kick arse photography and i was starved so we spent 12 bucks at the caf on ice cream sundae and coffay. then teany was had and it was everything i had wanted it to be, i missed it so much. i havent been to teany in months literally. i think the last time i went was in may with elisa. we went after our last city class, and i walked home across the willy-b for one of the last times. But! not for long. as i will be living there soon, wait, cant get ahead of myself. ok so after teany dinner, sleep etc in hoboken. then on sunday rach and i went on a search for goucho pants of which i didnt find any in my price range. we got rained on 5 times. we went down to w.4 to go to angelika and see broken flowers, packed theatre, i pretty much disliked it. after that we made our way to canal st and ate mcdonalds because i dont want to eat chinese food down on canal and it was still pouring and we were without umbrella. then we walked finally in peace to the knitting factory to see chris richards aka ris paul ric and earthen sea and daniel mccormic, who we missed, but somewhat on purpose...
my thoughts on earthen sea have thus formulated: ambient music like that makes me pensive and so pensive that i became aware and super aware of my surroundings as if i were on some substance. but i was clean, so it was totally the music. very weird in a good way. i couldn't really see either which made me focus on everything but the visual of someone playing this music that seemed to never end and yet i didnt really want it to. i was confused as to if it was going to be single songs or if it was going to just continue and there were no breaks so i think that made it more impactful. anyways rach and i shared a moment about it between ris and earth.
chris richards is one awesome guy. i have to say the performace seemed dumb and fumbled and very juvenile, but i loved it!!! it wasn't like i was seeing QandnotU it was a very small small setting and there was just him and dan on the percussion. they didnt have guitar pics and they didnt have good mics and everything was very fresh almost like with Q they have some kind of power and they understand how to set up and be ready for the usual songs they have been playing for months or years, but with chris he seemed very exposed and not very sure of himself, very niave. i liked it alot. if youd like to hear any of these musicians go here:
ris paul ric
earthen sea
ok now that this is like the longest blog ever i would like to simply explain i went to see my new digs off of driggs, hehe, and the place is adorable inside. the apt is great, i cant wait to get into it. my next few weeks are going to be hella busy, i will be going to work extra hard, going home for a few days, coming back to hoboken and then moving to greenpoint. and then after a few days, moving to hofstra. wow.
ok im busy.

[soundtrack to life: iron and wine, yeah im a sell out ]
well i've got a new address. Dunno if you've heard but i've been living in hoboken, nj for the past oh three months. and before that i lived at 70 n. henry in brooklyn. so now it is time for me to move before i go back to school, and where am i moving-
yes 108 n. henry st. so i moved to hoboken just to move half a block away from my old apt. sweet.
but anyways, im happy becuase i absolutely love the neighborhood and if you are a fan of stella at all then in the most recent as of last week, you saw them in mcgolric park, yes that park by my old apt that has the gay-est statue ever! and the statue made it's tv debut. if i can get a screen shot i will. anyways
so besides that on my way home from dinner tonight i totally walked into john hutchins of cactus patch wait i mean army of me. we made eye contact but he kept walking and i didnt want to seem a fool so i didnt yell out, "john!" anywyas i went home only to realize that they are playing maxwells up the block from me here in ho-broken, but since i have to be at work at 2 am i cant go. but if i am out of work by 8 i can go to their show down on houston st. tomorrow night. i'd like to do that. it's 21 plus, but i am that now, annnd i havent seen them like any of the times they have come up here.
well last we spoke i was at work and hating it, two shows came and left and now i am working on the gift show. pretty heavy shit man. it is by far the worst show that we do, it takes up the whole javits centre all the levels of it annnnd the tent outside, and this "tent" is not something to take camping. It's huge. its going to be a bitch. i have to be at work at 2 only to stay possibly until 2 am the next day which is why i could possibly miss the cactus show tomorrow. i wish i had known i mean i would have at least planned to go to see them even if i knew i had to get up. are they opening? i really don't know and i cannot tell from their web sites because if they are not opening then tomorrow i could for sure go, but if they are opening i might not be able to make it.
ok well i think thats enough of my rambling, sorry no pix this time. sorry if i havent been around much, i worked all last week and saturday night myself, josh, billy, and amy and one of her and josh's friends went out bar hopping, but i guess it really wasn't bar hopping as much as it was hopping at a bar. the bunch of us went to a bulgarian bar down on broadway and canal, yes i did say chinatown. i can't go into it now, but it was great no american music only bulgarian and hindi (weird right?) and after we went to a place down on ave.A called niagra which smelled like rotting fish, but was an eighties club underneath and it was awesome, i danced on some make-shift pole/bar thing to pulp and then later to gorillaz because none of the other chicks dancing knew any of the tunes. and i figuered i had every right to be up there because i knew them.
well i promise pix etc soon.
