..on the significance of today because, it's just Monday. The day I go out with my bro and get him a Koston-type setup board and I got a little converter for the ole 4 track ("WE NEED PHANTOM POWER!"). It's funny how the skateboarding scene has changed; slick boards, the size of the wheels, size of the pants and the high standard of tricks. If I had my young wrecklessness, I'd totally stick with it to this day.
These days, it's all been about music, secondary to that is friends and family. I didn't mean to make it sound so class like, but they all tie in together. The only fucked up part of this equation is the medium I write songs. What I would do to be happy go lucky like my brother Griffin and RJ. Griffin's vision of sadness is just a flicker of light to my sun tan. He usually has that aura that nothing can phase him. As for RJ, he observes other peoples experiences and writes about those. In the same vein of Elvis Costello's quote "once you start feeling happy, write about other peoples relationships". Which I sometime intend to, once I get there (never). Having the "lack there of" and wishful thinking are main contents of my songs. All very personal, but never makes it past or even in the route of you and I "we're on top of the world!" sense of happiness or state or being.
I do get afraid of how repetitive and uninspiring this can be, and how I'll be jaded and have that lifetime creative block. This song explains it all. Now, for being jaded and uninspired, that has since been extinguished by a slight mist of hope. Yes, there is a person who's brought that inspiration back and she knows...she knows, she knows. Cause I want her to hear what I have to say, and what I have to say will be meaningful, meaningful for only the both of us. To be at this level with someone is what I live for.
This situation's probably wishful thinking.
as for now, I'll take what I can get.
