i want what you want

reciprocally inspired by drummer tabla philosopher poet player enthusiastically inclined zen dada motivational speaker david hurlin of the drum theory and revelation blog i've decided to write this abandoned blog entry here now tonight at this very moment because i am to some extent or another what i would consider to be BEHIND SCHEDULE with THIS, my personal blog.

i will, however, now utilize some punctuation, which AT THIS MOMENT strikes me as a funny word in it's relation to punctuality and is something that i will now have to dig up the root on, define for myself in poetic fashion, and perchance make a graph determining the intersection and the direction of these two terms. if it makes a cross, i will not be in the least be surprised, yet utterly delighted at the repeating pattern.

so, what's what? life is good. the evangenitals are playing shows. i just got hired by my alma mater CalArts to direct a really wild opera. lisa dee is blogging again. i'm going to start learning TM tomorrow (today). my student loans came through, giving me the illusion of financial security for the time being. cash'd out gigs continue to be a blast for me and i'm becoming more and more of an essential part of the show. i'm reading more, feeling more, thinking more, writing more, loving more, feeling my heart open it's barn doors more, tasting and sensing and aching more acutely. and i smell a lot. :-)

i helped a friend move today. i read nietzsche today. i spent a couple hours in a bookstore today and ran into some folks i really like. i talked about poetry with a stranger today. i lifted a lot of boxes and moved furniture. i ate a spicy thai salad. i saw my old boss. i got pulled over by a cop for my headlight being out and he didn't give me a ticket. i watched a movie on netflix today. i got to see mister turtle's sleepy/closed eyes today, which is one of my great ecstatic joys of pure adorability. today was a good day.

tomorrow. today. it's late. same difference. the sun doesn't actually rise anyhow. :-)

love always. seriously.

I noticed on the Evangenitals web stats that a bunch of folks have been searching for the lyrics to the song Fuck 'em All (which is going to be on our upcoming album "Everlovin"... hittin' the streets officially on October 4th, though some advanced copies are already out and circulating) so I figured I'd write 'em down in here:

Fuck 'em All
- The Evangenitals

He works so hard
Almost paid off the car
Sleeps on somebody's couch
Saving up for the house

She lives with her toys
Had given up on the boys
Till he came along
Now she's singing a new song

He knows she's insane
And she knows he's the same
They ain't go a shot in hell
But they're taking the ride might as well....

Till the wheels fall off
Till the wheels fall off
Till the wheels fall off...

When you hear the call
When you hear the call...

Fuck 'em All.

As for Everlovin, the finished product is well worth the wait. Brett and Georgie have been finessing it to perfection. Evangenital bliss. We are so excited about sharing this album with the world at large, and equally excited about traveling the US and Canada with The 1 Second Film on the Road to Oprah tour.

We are fully aware of how completely insane the whole journey is. It's crazy. Truly crazy. And the fact that we're willing to go and do it even though it is so crazy is the stuff that LEGENDS are made of. This is how epic adventurous are born... saying yes, and the first step. Into the void! Unknowing, possibility, the road. It all awaits.

I'm guessing that some of those searches for Fuck 'em All may be from CalArts Theater students. Our little mini-gig up there was quite a success and I hear that Fuck 'em All has been declared the new school song by the student body. I love it. They were definitely one of the best, most enthusiastic, ultra-singalong crowds we've ever had. I loved it. I'm glad we're getting up there again soon. :-)
