Not Great but Better…ish

OK, I’m doing a little better now.  I’m still down but starting to swing up.  The suicidal thoughts are getting to be fewer now.  I’ve decided that I’m moving back to LA by the end of the year.  I’ve a got a lead on a place to live, and the work situation is a little hazy still, but the biggest pain in the ass with all this is packing.  Turns out that I’ve collected a lot of shit.  So far I’ve loaded down five 27 gal. totes with just my board games.  Yeah, pain in the ass.  On the other hand, I saw Kevin Smith last night at Wiseguys Downtown.  If you haven’t seen him in a live show like this, you’re doing yourself a grave disservice.  I wasn’t a fan of right away.  His first movie I saw was Chasing Amy.  And in retrospect, I just realized how much that film informed certain perceptions, let’s say imposed on me as a child.  I wouldn’t say I’m less an asshole but rather more an asshole oriented for comedic effect.  And now, of course I enjoy the Clerks movies for all the obvious reasons and Dogma in particular with my greater comprehension of organized religion.  My point is that you should take the time to catch his live performances whenever you can.  You will not be disappointed.

     Back to my moving to LA.  Like I wrote last week, I’ve lost too much time and too many people for me keep dicking around here.  The big things that I’ve always wanted in life were never a possibility for me living in utah.  I should have figured out how to make this happen years ago.  Maybe I could have gotten the things I really wanted.  No, I’m not telling you what exactly I’m referring to.  It’s none of your damn business.  Point is, I’m moving back to LA finally.  It’s been too long and the last time I got to go home was for a funeral so, mixed feelings.  And now I need to figure out exactly what the rules for home recording studios so I can rebuild Quiet Treats soon after getting back in town.  So, if anyone reading this has experience and/or someone I can talk to about this sort of thing, I’d really appreciate the help.  And then I just remembered that I needed to make a phone call to try and figure out the money to make this happen.  The timing is going to be tight soooo, if anyone felt like contributing any funds to my moving venture, I’ll create resin sculptures for you.  Fell free to e-mail me here with the contact page and we work out what you want me to make you for your contribution.  Let’s say right now $5 for a small pyramid.  I have a bunch of glow-in-the-dark and color changing pigments.  So, yeah, money would be super helpful to get my ass back home to LA.

     Anyway, I have some corn dogs that are done cooking and I just noticed earlier that I missed a few words in my last post.  I’m debating whether to repost is with the corrections or just leave it as-is.  In any case, I mentioned here that I fucked up so, my conscience is clear.  Damnit, almost hit 600 words exactly.
