hey

hm

welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

i guess i still have stories from this weekend

and my ON SCREEN DEBUT ha ha

but i don't really want to tell them

i was kind of hoping that people would ask to hear them to be frank

like, "hey craig how was your trip to tahiti?"

or "hey dave how'd it go this weekend?"

but no one yet

which isn't an attempt to guilt trip anyone or anything

i think the one person who reads the dave update has bigger things to think about

AT repressed Dog Faced Hermans "Those Deep Buds" on LP

which I'm excited about

and that might be all i have to say?

went for a long walk last night

i like to get stoned and go for walks lately

this will probably change when i move back to the city

but for now i'm into it

WHOA

i read about this in arthur russell's biography but never figured i'd hear it

http://soundcloud.com/garylucas/second-edition-vin-diesel-vs

this is an arthur russell/VIN DIESEL collaboration

yes that vin diesel

insane

how exciting, it's supposed to be TERRIBLE

that derailed me completely!

ok

anyways

yesterday i walked around for awhile and kept singing this song i've been "working on"

it's kind of a neil young rip-off

a little bit "only love will break your heart"

a little bit "don't let it bring you down"

i think i want to record it with just drums and hi-hat

and a TOUCH of guitar

i overheard someone talking on the phone about this lecture they went to

and they sounded like me 5 years ago

hyper-critical and completely closed off to possibility

he was like "and then the guy said something like"

"'you must try and build a building that has unconditional love'"

"and 'there's mental illness in the world because no one builds their own buildings'"

"'you all should try and build a log cabin'"

"and i was asking practical questions like what are some techniques to build a building that has unconditional love"

"but he was just crazy"

sounds like you're the problem buddy

that's why i hate school, everyone just wants someone else to give them THE ANSWER

when there are no answers

EEEEEEE we're listening to it now!

so excited!

wow it's pretty crappy

it really sounds like arthur russell is totally bored

he keeps changing the beat all over

vin diesel doesn't sound as horrible as i thought he would though

ok i've been writing this dave update for way longer than i should be

back to work

this has been the dave update
