i'm on the next train.

trains are just so much more romantic than buses, aren't they. i wish i lived in the 1900's, when trains were all we had. i think there's a cross-country, canadian train ride that happens. i think i want to do that someday.

as for today, i went golfing nice and early with mon frere. i hurt my foot pretty bad on hole five. what happened was we were heading down this hill that was still a little slippery from the dew. anyways, my dad goes to press the break in as we're going down, and he accidentally clicks the parking break in (same pedal). so we start to turn/slide 90 degrees, and i get thrown out. luckily i landed on my feet, but i think the back tire caught my foot; my slip-on went flying off my foot. it felt pretty sore, but around the 10th hole i took my shoe off and noticed the back of my foot was bleeding quite a bit. so we called it a day, and i've had my foot elevated for most of the afternoon. it's pretty sore, but the bruising isn't bad, so hopefully i'll be fine to work tomorrow.

my msn/myspace abstaining is going well; i've only been on my two bikes profile, and most of the time there's nothing to check anyways. so i've been learning to check my e-mail for a notification, and if there isn't one, i'll just leave my computer. i find i've been watching way more movies, which is much more productive than lurking on myspace. i watched the sandlot today, which is a great afternoon movie. it made me wish i lived in a more innocent time, when playing with friends were all we had to worry about. responsibility isn't all it's cracked up to be, and i barely even have any.

in other news, i have a for sure concept on all the songs that are going to be recorded for my two bikes ep. it follows a pretty steady trend of all the other songs, but it's specifically going to be about a book idea adam roper had. each song is going to tell a story that hasn't happened, but could have. roper's idea was to write a journal from a road trip, that is completely fictional. the first track on the record is about this one experience i had, where i could have gone on this road trip (with three really great people) but i declined because of some awkwardness i had with some of the people. ask me about it sometime. anyways, the song kind of sets up the record, and a sort of "what if i had gone on that road trip". i'm stoked on it.

alright, time to ice my foot, then off to play drums for a church. i'm going to down a rockstar before practice, and hope that i can't feel my foot while i drum.

Jamison.

broken foot buddiessss! (ps: copier!) mahaha. i like that this is the theme you've chosen. because lately when i've randomly thought of you and your music, or been listening to ol' 2 bikes in the morning sometimes, i have thought of some of the hypotheticalness (which was initially inspired by the time i asked who the scarf was for and you said no one 'cause it didn't happen). at first i was like "that's kind of strange, because usually people sing about things that HAVE happened to them" but THEN i was like "wait! that's awesome, because it is like writing a story!" and if anyone can appreciate that, i think we know who can. oh man, and if anyone can appreciate a good Sandlot viewing, i think we know who that is also! (hint: it's all me.)

I have taken that magical trip across Canada, well from Van to Montreal anyway. It was literally the time of my life. photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/traceylikesyou/sets/72157594225445503/

i traveled by train a lot in Sweden. And you haven't lived unless you've braved an Indian train! Anyway, I fully support your desire! And if you are a student it's ultra cheap!
