blah. blah. blog.

blah blah blah. SXSW. blah. many gigs. blah. been a great year so far. blah. writing new songs. blah. contrary to what it may seem, i write everyday. posting complete gibberish hasn’t seemed like a good idea. so, it stays private, either in the pages of the many moleskines i have filled, or on the computer, in a cloud, spread amongst the many dimensions. my current writing tool is 750words.com. it keeps me on the ball, out of trouble. now if i could find a songwriting/blogging/practicing/keeping-my-shit-together tool. i go through swings of ambition. sometimes i really give a shit, other times i don’t. the trick is not to make any decisions, rash decisions, when not giving a shit, until you can verify that you’re not just stuck in some swing of ambition. there are many things i consider dropping, like social networks, or touring. i can come up with good reasons, and work myself up to execution, never delivering on the promise. each day seems a battle of ambitions. i have no stamina for the long view. it comes and goes. each day seems a fight for my attention. my desire and drive. motivation. some people have it. it is a practiced development. my life has not prepared me for such predictability. my life has always been about reaction, the swift dodge, or catching one right in the face. blah.

i’m going to ride my bike to all of my SXSW gigs, gear in tow. i will take pictures of the setup, and let you know how it all works out. thanks for paying attention…
