wear your love like heaven

I can't believe I didn't know about donovan sooner
everything this guy has made is fucking unreal
and he doesn't sound anything even remotely like dylan
he is like a acid drenched nick drake playing with
an early sixties version of led zeppelin as his backup band

for the longerst time I despised and made fun of donovan
for being a dylan psuedo-cheesball rip off with repeated
scenes from "don't look back" without even listening to any
of his music, besides a couple of radio songs here and there

and although I do know that he actually wrote a song that
was exactly the same as "mr. tamborine man"
called "my darling tangerine eye"
he never knew dylan wrote it and thought it was a traditional song
and was probably just too stoned or high
to even know that dylan had already wrote that song

dylan even told him "that song sounds familiar"

it reminds me when jim morrison wrote a whole book of poems
that he said he wrote that were already written by a ton of famous
poets from the past.

I digress

the point of this is that donovan wrote simple trippy love songs
that were catchy, melodic, and beautiful and explored early psychedlics
before anyone even thought of it.

if you haven't heard him start with the albums
"sunshine superman" and "hurdy gurdy man"
not just the songs, but the whole album,
they will blow your lid off

the race is on

good ol merle haggard, boy can he write a good song or tow

anyways it looks like we have finally found a place that is decent
we will hopefully sign the lease tomorrow, fingers crossed
it looks like our old apartment with a little less storage space
and a front porch that looks out onto the street.

and it is right across the street from a catholic church so
we will have something fun to watch
when we party into the wee morning hours
of sunday after a late saturday night

"hey why do you keep lighting candels?..hey candle guy...hey..."

the only thing that has me a little anxious
is that the place is owned by a cop
and having a cop own a place
makes me think that at some point in my residence
a whole team of black dressed swat team members
will crash through the ceiling equipped with night vision goggles
and laser sighted submachine guns
all awhile dangling by a tiny steel re-inforced wire

mayeb I am just a little paranoid
but that is what I thought of

I guess the guy seemed pretty cool

but he was also totally jacked and short
so he must have some form of short man syndrome

short guys who are as stout as they are tall scare me,
maybe it is the whole intimidation of
being crushed by some tiny dwarf
I don't know
it just scares me

the big move day will be on sunday may 29th if anyone is free

beer and pizza will be included for all who help

the glow pt.2

"...I couldn't get through september without a battle..."

the continual search for a new house has been draining at best.
It always amazes me the amount of weird shady characters
there are associated with realty and apartments. Its like they have
a realty training course right next to the exits of maximum security
prisons.(maybe they all come from florida..quinn help me on this...)

anyways we found an awesome place to stay that looked like an old 1920's
hotel only to lose it to someone else. Probably all for the best, since the guy
that showed us the place was this crazed brother of the lady who owned
the building. he was filled with intense anger and hate and made racial slurs
for almost every type of person out there...followed with "if I have to be
in the hot tub with "XXXX" I'll kill them, I fucking kill them..."

what happens when we step on the front yard's grass?

anyways I can't stop listening to fairport convention lately
highly recommend listening.

sandy denny ..heart...heart....

"______"....heart...heart...

and it continues

heaven is a place where nothing ever happens...

so I went with faskola(moveon.ola's....)
to see kingdom of heaven last night

wastn't too bad
eva green was unbelievably gorgeous and I would
have seen a monkey kicking a soccer ball if she
was in it, also the battle scenes were really cool and had
nice lord of the rings aerial shots going on

the only thing is, is that I can't stand ridley scott's use of
slow motion/edit clip close up battle scenes
I know he is trying to make the viewer feel like
he really is in the middle of a battle but, just like gladiator,
but it just looked like bad digital editing.
basically it looks like what I imagine a battle to look or feel like
if I was on a lot of codeine and hash and had the flu
that's maybe how I would expect the battle to look like
although if that were the case I would be dead quick in battle

also not to sound like a sap or nuthin, but the love story
was basically non-existant and without that these movies
all turn into the same flick. If I didn't like the love storyso much
in the beginning of braveheart with the super pretty girl
the rest of it would have been shite.

its almost like you have to have a love story side by side
with constant gore and death in order to sell one of these
good epics.

anyways this was all accompanied by a guy sitting by himself
that would laugh every 4 seconds and then make a comment.
He had to either be drunk or suffering from some
form of mental illness. It drove me nuts in the beginning but
I eventually gave in and accepted it. It seems that all of the cool epic
battle movies I go to there is some asshole or group of assholes
that ruins it(LORD Oh ringding). Maybe I am too senstive
but it really ruins it for me, especially when I'm laying down 9 bucks a flick.

thoughts and dreams have been developing in my head
these days and I like it, even if it is idealistic bullshit.

warm rainy weather=me likey
time of no reply

"will it make me go schizo?"

yeah so all of you text message, cell phone, email junkies
you might as well be puffin the green and leave that plastic
bullshit behind

"LONDON, England -- Workers distracted by phone calls, e-mails
and text messages suffer a greater loss of IQ than a person
smoking marijuana, a British study shows."

saweet, but what happens if you smoke and constantly check your
emails, text messages??

"Geoffrey are you on the pot....???"
"......mom you're totally cheesing me out right now"

group W bench

have any of you ever heard alice's restaurant by arlo guthrie
I never really appreciated the song until about 3 years ago(even with my parents
telling me it was really good) after hearing it on the drive, being hung over and late for my
families get together.

I was late but just sat in the car and listened to the whole 45min song
great message still very relevant today

"Kid, I wantyou to go and sit down on that bench that says
Group W .... NOW kid!!"

it made me think of the part were he
walks up to the militart recruiter and tells him
that he wants to kill! kill! kill!
and they tell him he's just the kinda kid they were
looking for.

pst is dead
