This is not Vietnam.

Just a quick sketch I did. It's called "Cry Buddha Cry" (good song title i think!). I hope everyone had a fantastic and safe New Year's Eve, I know I did. I can't wait to do more and more paintings this year and really build up a huge body of work. I'm also looking for a job tommorow, so hopefully that'll work out. Leave me some love if you've got any!

Ciao!

It was all a Blur...

Holy man tiptoed his way across the ganges
The sound of magic music in his ears
Videoed by a bus load of tourists
Shiny shellsuits on, and drinking lemonade.

Now, I've got a funny feeling which I bought mail order
From a man in a tee-pee, california.
He said he once was the great game show performer
Then he blew all his money away,
Blew it all away.

So take me home, don't leave me alone
I'm not that good, but I'm not that bad
No psycho killer, hooligan geurilla
I dream to riot, oh you should try it
R. e. perot, get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Cos then you're on your own
Then you're on your own

Well, we all go happy day glow in the disco
The sound of magic music in our brains
Someone stumbles to the bathroom with the horrors
Says lord, give me time, for I've jumped into space
I'm in outer space.

So take me home, don't leave me alone
I'm not that good, but I'm not that bad
No psycho killer, hooligan geurilla
I dream to riot, oh you should try it
R. e. perot, get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Cos then you're on your own
Then you're on your own

So take me home, don't leave me alone
I'm not that good, but I'm not that bad
No psycho killer, hooligan guerilla
I dream to riot, oh you should try it
R. e. perot, get gold card soul
My joy of life is on a roll
And we'll all be the same in the end
Cos then you're on your own

Then you're on your own

Take ecstasy with me...

I have this recurring dream that I'm young, maybe ten or eleven, and I'm going to school, and on my way to the bus stop, there's this concert going on in the alley by my house. It's all these bands I don't know and I'm told it happens everyfriday, along with garbage pickup and then i see Bebe Neuwirth, and she's dressed as a mail lady (like in that episode of Pete and Pete) and she sorta looks at me and smiles and so I follow her around on her route like a lost puppy. Very strange.

All the Summer days...

I'd like to wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas! Mine turned out pretty decent and I hope all of yours did too! I'd like to give a late Christmas present in this relic of a photograph I found yesterday! I hope you enjoy a good laugh!

I had short hair, no sideburns, but still those same angry eyebrows!

Too many people sharing party lines...

I've been so tired and out of it lately. I've been painting until 3 in the morning and waking up @ noon the next day for a few weeks now. The exam cycle has really thrown me out of whack and I can't seem to get it right again. I just want to operate during normal hours and not live in perpetual nighttime. I think all the lack of sunlight is taking its toll on my mood. I feel so emotional or sad or let down or whatever you call it. Despondent? I don't know what it is I want though, maybe some distraction or just some good news. Any suggestions on what to do? I'm open to them!

I'm as ugly as I seem!

Mmmm, the year is winding down folks, and I'm trying my best to think of ways to make 2006 stellar. I've set out to fulfill some resolutions which include doing more painting, playing more music, and winning my personal wars!

There are so many people out there that I want to meet and want to talk to and well, I think the time's come to make that happen! I can't say that I'll develop meaningful relationships with all of them or stay in touch as much as I'd like to, but there's no harm in trying, right?

Well, I'm going to say goodbye, and hopefully some people will leave me some love!

Ev'rybody had a hard year
Ev'rybody had a good time
Ev'rybody had a wet dream,
Ev'rybody saw the sunshine
Oh yeah, Oh yeah.
Ev'rybody had a good year,
Ev'rybody let their hair down,
Ev'rybody pulled their socks up,
Ev'rybody put their foot down.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah.

Stay (Faraway so close)

Sometimes when I can't sleep, I imagine that I'm sinking into the earth, through all the dirt and sand and soil and I just keep sinking even past the rocks and animal skeletons and it's amazing. I imagine there are people above me yelling things, shouting for me to come back up to listen to what they have to say, but I can't hear them or I just choose to ignore them because I want them all to go away and let me sink, and so that's what I do. I feel really content in my sunken sanctuary, away from everyone else and all the noise and nonsense. The only things I hear are my breath and the sound of the blood coursing through my head. I close my eyes and I see black. I open my eyes and I see black. It's really neat, believe me. It's usually after about five minutes of this eye opening and closing underground that I fall asleep.

DIG IT!

Like a rolling stone
A like a rolling stone
Like the FBI and the CIA
And the BBC--BB King
And Doris Day
Matt Busby
Dig it, dig it, dig it
Dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it

[That was 'Can You Dig It' by Georgie Wood.
And now we'd like to do 'Hark The Angels Come'.]

And your bird can sing!

So I'd just like to say hello! Exams are over and I'm happy. I've finally got some time to just paint and play guitar to my heart's content and that's thoroughly amazing! I've been having fantastic ideas don't you know! O, and I've been getting into all sorts of new music, like early nineties U2 and Warren Zevon, and some older Tom Petty and Paul McCartney's first few solo discs and well, it's great! Thought I'd chime in with that folks! Be good!
