So, I'm here! I'm here!
The tour is finished. I'd say it went well. The crowd heckled alot more than previous stuff, but whatever, especialy with the whole winona fiasco..I'm home now, free to hang out and garden, or talk with my mom and justin, who is doing well as a lawyer. Most of the saddle creek gang is in town, jenny lewis, I think is out on the road with the postal service still.
I'm house hunting in new york. Maybe brooklyn. I fell in love with the city, and theres nothing I can do about it. its the lonliest place I know, and it simply draws me in.
I feel like theres nothing beautiful in me any more.. I feel so exausted. I just need to run..before the media stabs a needle through me and pins me like a butterfly on cardstock with the name "conor oberst" under me.
How crappy is that? w00t.
I'm going to quote you stuff, now: "what a truly sad day for the souls who survived the trauma of killing unkown others as their air became poisonous and the ground turned to fire. what a crime that respect for the tragic role of the soldier of our wars has to translate into patriotism and national bigotry. One has to wave flags instead of point their fingers as the imortality of war and what it does to its veterans."
I just read that, and it struck me.
