i get by (with high cheek bones).

so, i'm kind of taking a break from the myspace/msn thing. i'm still checking/updating my music profiles, but i'm taking some time away from the personal profiles. the truth is that i was getting way to involved in them. like, emotionally involved. getting frustrated or sad because someone hasn't replied to a message, or because they don't want to talk on msn, is not a great way to live. so i'll probably be spending more internet time here, which is fine with me. i like this one way conversation.

so, i saw a lot of drunk people today. they're not that great. sorry souses, i just can't spend time with you. these ones were not good company: they were all pretty old, they had kids that they were neglecting, and they were just really gross. that's not to say that i'd condone a young, child-caring, clean drunk, but maybe those people don't exist. who knows. either way, if you're going to have kids, and bring them to a wedding that's being held at a golf course, don't get so wasted that the kids start running around wreaking havoc. nobody wins then. still, i found ways to stay happy throughout the day: i prayed for the people at the wedding (christian!), i drank a rockstar drink (still feeling it), and i turned the radio up really loud when "jaws of life" by wintersleep came on. man, i love that the fox plays it, it's such a good song. my co-workers made a comment about my purple sweater today, alluding to hand gestures and davies st. (gotta know vancouver to get that one). i shook it off, i'm comfortable with my purple sweater.

i'm going to a BASEBALL match tomorrow. i'm going to buy a beer, and yell at the players a lot. expect a video blog. unless that last video blog was beyond lame. let me know if you like them. if you do, i'll keep em coming. regulars (shaina, jumo, tracey, zach), let me know.

alright kids, hope you all had good days too. let's hang out soon!

Jamison.

hmm.

water from the same source.

the sound of the cars, just a breath away from the screen in my window, melted into the rising strings. the sound of the friction between tire and concrete seemed to be recorded right into the mix. the wind was like a soft hand, slowly brushing the hair from my eyes.

it was all the way it was meant to be.

indie pop mix.

hello.

hey there, nice to see you again.

this is a completely true story:

after writing up a deliciously witty, artistic composition, the internet said, "NO! this is TOO MUCH!!!", and it vanished from my sight. next thing i know, i'm stuck with a background of sufjan stevens, and a blog, lost in time. the really ironic thing is that the last words in the blog were, "...man, the internet can be pretty neat some times." thanks internet, you dick.

alright, here's a synopsis of what the lost blog looked like:

- i've been spending a lot of time at work, working. it's going well: i have great co-workers, all very nice people, who seem to enjoy me as a person. i drink a lot of liquid, and eat chicken fingers almost every day. the restaurant manager even knows that i like barbeque sauce. she's an intuitive one, i think. i'm not a huge fan of the job, but i get compinsated well, and they didn't have to hire me, so i can't/won't complain. no matter how much i'd like to.

- i've been listening to these records: (it was all coded and such, so i'm lazin it up now) 'boxer' by the national (record of the year); '(the ep) ep' by owen (sleepiest record i've found this year); '(cross)' by justice (electronic record of the year); 'the reminder' by feist (crossover/massive stardom record of the year). i listen to other stuff too, like the spinto band, the field, joy division, the acorn, loney dear, the frames and other stuff. also, whatever is being played on the take away shows website is normally pretty great.

- i've been writing lots of music, that you can listen to here: two bikes. they're like country songs, aka not that great (HA), but i have fun writing about less serious subjects. andy and i were discussing how liberating it is to sing words like "baby" or "darling". i guess it comes along with the scene. either way, i'm having fun, and andy likes the songs, so i guess i'm on to something? maybe you'll like them too. here's one:

two bicycles - homes away from home. this song kind of sums up what these two bikes are all about: having a sweet summer, with a really great girl, who's up for anything (especially road trips). oh by the way, if you know a girl like this, show her these songs, and then my phone number. you know how we do!

alright kids, time for arrested development, and then bed. beach tomorrow. love.



Jamison.
