this has been the weekend of good food and data transfer. i gave mikeal a key to my house so he could google for info on the sla (and it's COINTELPRO connections) as research for the new issue of his zine, "bicycles for afghanistan". ryan e-mails me from guatemala in a tone that seems the happiest in weeks with stories of the amazing things he's doing south of the border. a slower paced central american lifestyle and still able to get access to e-mail every day? i think i could get used to that. and i put a letter to abbey in the snail mail today. it seems like there's so much data that gets pushed around these days and sometimes its overwhelming and other times it makes me really excited. today is an exciting day.

this has been the weekend of good food. last night, will invited me over to the legion and i ripped mp3s and oggs of the new recording http://defianceohio.terrorware.com/audio.shtml. I also worked on my mix tape for the van rides on tour. i think chad came up with the idea. we each get a mix tape. you put 3 songs on it and then pass it to another person. that way there's a bunch of evenly distributed songs to please everybody on the mix tapes. we also played some acoustic songs getting read for the show on the 15th. then we decided to make stir fry. will had hit up trader joe's (luckily with no cops this time) - when is there going to be a dumpster/hobo trader: "trader '3 dogs and a multitool' says check the dumpster of a delicious cornicopia of free food" and fork to get a bunch of great produce. the stir fry was delicious. but then we got a call from becca. she was making stir-fry at her house in a few hours and we were invited! i was thinking "this is just like the stove top commercial". then will looked at me and said the very same thing. after he got off the phone i exclaimed "billy's mom is making stovetop!" the stirfry at becca's was equally good, and matt made his "chronic" mashed potatos. we listened to music, hung out, and had a general good time.
today, i went to blue nile with jimmy and katrina. it was awesome and delicious. jimmy told me some good food places to check out on tour. i was pretty excited. i like the good eats. then for dinner, more stir fry at stephen and brett's!

went to the health food store that i recently realized was just around the corner from my house. not as good of a selection as the co-op, and no deli, but at least they are a convenient source for the sweet, sweet tofutti cream cheese.
i like going out during the day, for one because it's a hell of a lot less depressing than getting cooped up all day. the natural light on the fresh snow is almost blinding. it's also crazy to be reminded that there's a different world out there that's different and scary from my life. a world of business lunches and inane conversation and bougie moms taking their bratty kids to lunch. i guess that's a little harsh. the line between bratty and precocious is a thin one. i'm just afraid that the privilage of being taken to good local eateries instead of mcdonalds still produces a hunger for designer clothes and suvs in the end.
put some capaciters in my ears. the nerdy ear jewelry solution.
i'm going to put a link to my band, defiance ohio's website here because it still isn't in google yet, and i think that at least my blog gets crawled. http://defianceohio.terrorware.com.

can't we live our lives the way we want to live? and haven't we got more than we have ever hoped and dreamed? i can't live my future shackled to my past. i felt that way once, and i'm not going back.

finished the cd layout on the computer using chad's designs and ftpd the designs to the cd pressing place (cdman.com) and ryan overnighted the music today. it's frustrating to have to worry about that stuff when i'm so busy, but it's kind of neat to see what goes into the process of releasing a cd.
called hannah from philadelphia tonight to try to find out about a show. looks like it will be hard to get a show on the 24th since it's a weekday. maybe we can be flexible with the nyc and providence shows so we can play philadelphia on a weekend. i hate calling people. i always feel like a jerk because i'm usually asking for someone to help me out in some way. being more involved with the "punk" community more closely is weird for me, because people act closer and do favors for each other, but then don't see each other for a long time. i'm really appreciative of everyone who's helped me or the band out and i hope no one thinks i'm ungreatful because i don't stay in touch.
drama. drama that i don't want to be in the middle of, and that i tried so hard to stay out of, but now i find myself smack dab in the middle of it. had a long phone conversation with will about it and we talked some stuff out. there's still a chance that everything will turn out ok.
got a letter from abbey over the weekend. she sent me the flyer from our show in bloomington and the lil' matt tobey and a lil' geoff finger puppet that she made. totally sweet. i like getting mail from people and it's fun to have friends in different towns. now i just have to not be a bastard and write back.
