| 1:14 pm | email from michael Man, the absolute best episode of Full House was on yesterday: Stephanies shady but semi-caring friend asked Stephanie to go to her house on Friday night, her mom would be working late, and she was going to have a small party. Stephanie asked Danny if she could go, and he asked about parental supervision at the party (I think they are 13 in this episode) Her friend lied and said that her mother would be there, Danny approved of Stepanie's attendance. So Friday comes around, DJ drove Stephanie to the party, and the living room was situated with appropriate male/female, or should I say "boy/girl" pairings. Stephanie's friend came through for her, inviting a young sprout whom I belive answered to "Brian." Upon Stepanie's arrival, she was quickly whisked across the room to meet Bryan, moments later the living room lights dimmed, and the kissing persued.... [insert dramatic pre-teen oooooooohhhhhhhh voice effect] Stephanie and Brian were sitting on the couch, and leave it to Bryan to figure Stephanie would forge ahead with the kissing, picture a young mindless grommet of junior high status puckering his lips in the most guppy of fashions, complete with eyes closed. Now, picture the look on Stephanie's face as she quickly alerts to his intentions, but still doesn't realize she is at a makeout party. A few glances around the dimmly lit living room presents to her a veritable kiss-fest (unfortunatly not the band) in which it reeks of obviousness that these young adolescents are absolutely on Cloud 9. I honestly believe Stephanie got the feeling that the gates of hell were opening up and were about to swallow her whole, the look on her face said it all. I mean, for most of us that first kiss situation was a total nightmare, saturated with the parentaly painted illusion that kissing is how babies are made. Stephanie attempts to strike up a conversation with the overbearing Brian, soon after, he tries to convice her that they are at a "makeout" party, not a talking party. Stephanie then gives in, and the most ridiculous display of amaturism ensues, leaving young Brian quivering for more, and Stephanie thouroughly grossed out, though she contains her disgust behind the slightest of smiles. Conversation follows, along the lines of Brian asking for another one, and Stephanie saying she does not feel right about the situation.(I at first thought her dislike for the kiss stemmed from Brian possibly not freshening up with Banaca, however, as you will soon find out, Stephanie is a good kid, morals undoubtedly programmed through years of living with neatfreak, hugging addict and father, Danny Tanner) Her friend who is hosting the event is distracted from her current liplock, enough so to take Stephanie across the room and inquire as to "What's the problem? Why won't you kiss him?" She says she does not feel right, that she did not know it was going to be that kind of party, and that she has no desire to kiss Brian-maybe in the future, but not then. Surprisingly, her friend understands, and I say surprisingly becuase her friend began the show as Stephanies arch-nemessis, provoking fighting, lying, cheating, and I believe even a peer pressure situation involving the smoking of cigarettes. Her friend says she can use the phone to call home, in which the bottom falls out of the situation. You see, Danny has had laryengitis, and has been talking with barely a voice during the episode. Stephanie calls home, and is too miffed by the horror of so much kissing in the room-she hears Danny barely talking and thinks it is her sister DJ. She says: "DJ, it's Steph. Can you come pick me up? I thought this was a normal party, but everyone is kissing and I just want to go home. Don't tell dad where you are going, he sort of believes there are adults here." Well, Danny is the one on the other end of the phone, not DJ. His face upon hearing the words "it totally turned into a makeout party" was enough to split the television screen. Shock, disbelief, dissapointment, all wrapped into one look. So the father drives to the girls house, Stephanie hears the knock on the door, thinks it is DJ, opens the door, and sees her father. As you can imagine, she slams the door shut in shock. (Tried and true classic television reaction, a true art if done effectivly) She then opens it, and Danny can't talk becuase of his voice. About the same time, Stephanie's friend who is hosting the party-her mother arrives in the back door early from work! (another classic sitcom shocker, when parents are expected at a certain time, they always arrive early.-the Seaver children on Growing Pains are notorious for their poor planning and botched party operations due to Maggie and Jason always, always coming home early) Well, the girl's mother gives Jason some kind of magic family potion that clears up his voice in roughly 5 seconds. A silly conversation follows between the two parents, blah blah this, blah blah that. The two adults exchange sparkles in their eyes at the reality that they are both single parents. (Should anything come of this puppy love, Danny will likly blow it by obsessing over neatness and hygiene) ...Well, the episode wraps up with Stephanie and Danny discussing what happened, how he is dissapointed in her, but proud that she was smart enough to get out of a bad situation-she is told that is very "adult of her." Next comes the deep meaningful moral of the show, accompanied by that sentimental music that gets you right in the gut. Stephanie then learns of her grounding from leaving the house for the next two weeks. Well, in her mind, if that keeps her from tense kissing situations, what is she missing? Well that was yesterdays episode of Full House. Keep in mind that that was half the show, the other half involved Uncle Jessie's fears of a failed music career, and a nightmare of his hair falling out. That's all rubbish, no need to talk about any of that. It's such a fantastic thing when sictoms give us episodes in which problems and issues we are plagued with in society (Marijuana, truancy, disrespect, binge drinking, sibling rivalry, cursing, fascination with boy bands, many more) are basically thrown out the door, and the ageless predicament of the first kiss is given absolute importance and exposed for what it really is: the bain of human existance... |

| 3:51 am | missing persons my mind has just been wandering. this is why I love and hate photographs. there are people that you come to share connections with, no matter the point, we are at the same place then, we open barriers usually not lifted. I'm just thinking about how awful it is to not be able to communicate in the smallest way with these people sometimes, just because of a bunch of stupid shit in comparison. perhaps times are just there to pass experiences had, then relived- there is no video camera, (fred hates them) I do like to remember things my own way, but the hurt is in the not being able to share anymore. the two parties just sit there thinking on their own, or don't, or fondly or painfully. I am quite good at repressing the painfully part. I know its not healthy but its really what I have to do sometimes. there are just all these shadows following me sometimes. part of me wishes they would not be there, another is scared that they won't one day. fear of losing something is common. fear of losing oneself, of part, of what seems inconsequential, but it adds up, oh yes, its definitely accumulating. sometimes I have let other people mean too much to me, just sometimes.

| 10:24 am | Phobia Is there a term for being deathly afraid of appendicitis? Cause I definitely have it. Actually it makes me more anxious than a whole lot of other, more possible life threatening conditions for some reason. The night I got back from tour, around 1 or 2 in the morning I started to feel all this pain in my right side of my abdomen. Needless to say I got freaked out. Enough to look up stuff on Web-MD and even make a now amusing call to 311. Since I don't have health insurance right now,(see aspiring rock star and unemployment file for more info) I totally had a panic attack over the fact that I might have to go to the hospital and have an operation. I calmed myself down somehow, but did not sleep very well. Felt less pain the next day thankfully, and came to a conclusion as to the nature of these symptoms. Diagnosis: My liver hurts. No, seriously. After 3 odd weeks of being drunk everyday and god knows what else, I'm pretty sure my body is telling me to take a break before I "BonScott" myself. So that being said I am officially on the wagon at least until this Wednesday when I have another show to play. I figure I owe it to my physical well being for holding up so well for all these years. Here's to the body physical, from the body spiritual (raises glass of water) |
| 10:15 am | 9000 miles And so: Back from tour. Definitely a huge experience for me. Not only did I get to travel around the country for 3 weeks, but I got to do it playing music. Its really amazing seeing the variety of terrain and people on the road. Not to mention some of the worst bands you get to play with sometimes. I got In and Out Burger again finally. Highly recommended if you get out to California. tons of stories to be told but not right now. Got up wicked early today in order to get my car towed to the shop. All I can say is finally. I mean the accident was in Febuary for crying out loud. Thusly works our court system. I can say that I both regretted not having a car for so long but also enjoyed it. Made me walk and bike a whole lot more like I used to, especially when I lived in Boston still. But it will be good to have it back for band stuff as well as driving east for thanksgiving time hopefully. Still desperately need stable employment.

| 7:01 pm | so i just dropped all my classes for the semester. Offically taking some time off from school to live the rocknroll dream etc. feels weird, or that could be just the coffee I drank today. Can't wait for tour now, but I do feel like I am on the brink of something so its exciting and disconcerting at the same time. anyone who wants to go see any of the shows can find a list at bible of the devil oh and I saw photographs today that made me laugh at life being tragically beautiful, how wonderful. definitely taking my camara on the road now, about time I got back on the photo bandwagon. luck and truth. |

| 10:17 am | so I've pretty much decided to take a break from school this fall semester, specifically columbia (I may take some part time classes somewhere). Reasons? Well, money for one. Admittedly, lack of motivation for another. I mean I skipped way to many classes last semester. It just felt like I was in high school again with some of these gen-eds and I was too stubborn to just freakin drop them. Its really a pattern I don't want to repeat. I enjoy the classes in my major, but I just really need to get my head on straight as well as do something that I don't resent as well as enjoy. Which brings me to the other reason I'm not going this semester. I'll be on tour from september 17th through october 8th, cutting into school by at least 2 weeks. Now I know I could probably recover from that, but I have to make myself realize that coming off a 3 week tour with a rock band, I am gonna need a bit to recover. Also, it just gives me the much needed kick in the ass to go out and do things that I really need to do. Its about fucking time actually. This time, no excuses okay? Current Mood:  indescribable |
