is it snowing here? i swear with all the flakes around me it reminds me of the snow storm of ‘98 when i was living in boston. but just like back then, it will soon all be melted and washed away.

since it is fat tuesday i guess i should reflect on the three times i have been to mardi gras. and when i say mardi gras, i mean the real one, in new orleans. not these ones in galveston, or austin…the serious hardcore 90 billion people in a three block radius, mardi gras.

the first time i went was when we were living in new orleans. i was in the third grade and i was so excited because we got a week off from school. it is in fact a holiday where they let the kids out of school. we…

did you have a good world when you died…enough to base a movie on?

ever since i heard that intro on the doors cd, i have lived my life that way. last nite when raw and i were driving to waco, we talked non-stop about all the good times we have had. all the road trips we have gone on. the misadventures in mexico, the times at the beach with fish, the sitting in the river with trav, fredo and wolfe, drinking beer waiting to go somewhere else. the time on sixth street with all the friends from high school, the…

i read the book the five people you meet in heaven last week and all i can think about lately is the 5 people i would meet. im pretty sure i havent met all the people i will meet, seeing as how i am so young. well i say young compared to some people. but to tell you the truth i feel old. especially when you hang out with rock stars.

one of the people i hope to see again and talk to is chris. man i really miss him. not a day goes by that i do not think…

yeah so this weekend was a long one. even moreso than the previous one. friday at noon i met up with django and the rest of the guys and hit the road headed for san angelo. i had never been there before and i was off this weekend so i thought i would give it a try. blaines was a very interesting place. the tables are bolted to the ground so that people can dance on them. only a few brave souls dared to venture on top of them. i think it was more liquid courage that made them do…

i have been feeling disconnected with the rest of the world lately. i used to read the newspaper everyday. i watched sportscenter every morning. i knew how the mavs were doing. i kept a watchful eye on the lakers. i knew what was going on in iraq. i paid attention to current events. the new movies that were coming out, the new cds that were just released. as of late i have no clue what is going on in the world. the only news i get is when i start up safari and it goes to the netscape news page…

i had something profound to say. but alas i forgot what it was. i think i might have mentioned how much i love living in austin and being able to go out and see live music 7 days a week. living in waco you just didnt get all that. oh yeah and amanda…i had some of satans pizza 2nite. i know you are jealous. i am headed to houston 2morrow to see django and mark play. i am really looking forward to it. i called one of my cousins and he is showing up as well. i might make that…

yada…

if i were to leave,
would you follow.
would you shed a tear,
and tell me all the things i want to hear.
or would you just turn,
and let me walk away.

the greatest thing about living in austin…”hey wanna go out and grab a beer? such and such is playing at this bar.” every nite you can easily go and see an incredible musician. this town truly is the live music capital of the world.

i am working on a side project right now. i am in the beginnings of designing a professional site to showcase the web designs, photography and print work i have done. i designed a logo for myself and i am in the process of completing an entire site. i am still working on picking up some…
