(no subject)
I haven't written in here in awhile. I'm procrastinating about 2 tickets, both for expired license plates on my girlfriend's car, I need to go take care of those, she's in germany right now. I miss the fuck out of her. Living with her is amazing, and when I think of her, the phrase other half actually comes to mind....I used to be so independent, now I'm that dude who's way into his girlfriend.
I don't know if I said this in an earlier post, but I now work for sisters camelot doing door to door canvassing. Some days it sucks but it's the first job I've had that I'm treated with respect and like a human. Recently I've been fixated upon the notion of community organizing. It has nothing to do with Barack Obama's rise to power, because I'm really not a fan. I think he's a fraud and a liar.
But, the non profit sector, I seem to have a knack for how it works. I want to learn grant writing and maybe become a field canvas director at some point. Mainly I just want a skill, I can take with me anywhere in the country. My girlfriend is going to graduate school, not this fall but the next, and it will essentially be anywhere but Minnesota. And all I really want is to be with her, so employment will be an issue.
Still booking shows, running a label, and I'm managing one anti-civ records band. I wasn't going to do it until I heard their new cd, now working with them, I think there's a lot I could learn.
I've got a new band with my friends called Patrick Callan and the Hipster Death Squad. Essentially a 10 piece band based around my solo project. I'm calling my next record, which comes out December 31st 2011 "Atomic Mind."
I've been asked to take over MCing for some upcoming Graveyard Blues Project shows. I felt flattered to be asked.
I don't know what I'm doing with myself really, I mostly feel out of place. I don't know where the scary intensity or the social awkwardness went. Because this extroverted character I've created is a self-aware front. I'm catching on these days though, that when you're a smart kid who passes on college, it's a matter of taking every opportunity that comes your way, even if it's too much to handle, because one day they won't be there.
That's my life in a nutshell, oh, and I'm not homeless at the moment, I live in a house in Dinkytown with a lot of room mates, I have the basement room, I lock myself away a lot, I still require a lot of alone time, I mostly get it in the morning, I'm an early riser and need to start off my day primarily with daydreams, chainsmoking and coffee.
That's what I'm doing now
