tangled up in blue
year in review.
new years eve = allston, ma. Actual fist fight with celia, adultrous sex in the back yard, in the hall of celias apartment, and in the bed of a girl who can't even look at me anymore, but took a very beautiful portrait of me.
jan = was seeing claire for a little bit, went to the baltimore aquarium, spent a few nights in bed in philly. played my first full band show. listened to blonde on blonde religiously
feb = eventually got back together with anna. finally realized how much I love boston, and my life there. started recording the rough demos to "iremember"
March = My dog lily passed away, wrecked my car, smoked too much weed and smiled a little too much.
April = made my first legit attempt to move to brooklyn, found an apartment, jake bailed. Bought my rickenbacker bass, quit my job, took photos by a pond near anna's old house.
May = Played one of the best shows I've ever played in Celia's Living room. was lost in love.
June = Anna Left me for one of the last times, springing one of the biggest moves of my life. Moved to Bushwick, met some amazing folks, fell in love with new york city. got back together with anna.
July = Got incredibly sunburnt at island beach, felt like a lobster for week straight. had a few girl in my bed that should have never been there. Played one of the last shows at folsom. realized how unhappy i was in my relationship. Got offered a record deal.
August = Started to realize how important the fall i spent with christina was. fell in love with blonde on blonde again. had my first show at my apartment. anna and her friends talked over all the bands. Leah stayed in my bed. we talked on the phone everyday after that.
September = fell out of love with NYC, Starting to finally finish up "american music"
October = Anna left me for the last time, swore I'd never speak another word to her. Left for montreal the next day, Spent a week in and out of a warm bed in montreal, fell in love with a city, Forged an incredible friendship with leah. She came back to NYC for a week straight. painted my apartment. surface magazine party, made out with pauline.
November = Decided to definatly go with eyeball, Bought my rhodes. leah visited for the last time. saw anna, felt bad for her.
December = started hanging out with a sweet girl in NYC, Finnally finished american music, played the eyeball showcase and all my loved ones were there. spent the holidays with my family. Did too many drugs, and now I'm here. happy as can be.
overall, this is was pretty crazy year, Even including last fall, A lot in my life has changed, some for the best, some for the worst, and some I'm still not too sure about, But even though a lot has changed, a lot is the same, I still am doing what I love, I still have the heart behind it, I still have some of the best friends I've ever had, Anna left, but things got better, She still probably doesn't understand "sad eyed lady of the lowland" she probably never will, but such is life. I'm happier than I've been in a very long time. for the first time in years I can wake up in my own skin and be happy just to be me. I feel like I've accomplished so much. so now I sit here, cigarette in my mouth, guitar in my lap and a colt 45 by my side, waving the new year in. Happier than hell.
