Drove up to hillside manor sometime after two a.m.
And talked a little while about the year
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
Makes you talk a little lower about the things you could not show her
And its been a long december and theres reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I cant remember all the times I tried to tell my myself
To hold on to these moments as they pass
And its one more day up in the canyon
And its one more night in hollywood
Its been so long since Ive seen the ocean...i guess I should
Counting CrowsWoke up this morning...
'Cos Im getting on in the world, coming up on forty-one years, forty-one stony grey steps towards the grave, y'know: the box awaits its grisly load, and Im gonna be food for worms. And just like Charles Mingus wrote that beautiful piece of music, Epitaph, for Eric Dolphy, I say So long, Eric; so long, John Coltrane and Charles Mingus; so long, Duke Ellington and Lester Young; so long, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald; so long, Jimmy Reed; so long, Muddy Waters; and so long, Howlin' Wolf.
"I REALIZED MOST PEOPLE SUFFERED NOT FROM LIFE-AND-DEATH DECISIONS MADE WHILE STARING DOWN THE EXECUTIONER AND HIS AX, BUT FROM INDECISION, FROM HOPES NEVER PURSUED AND LIVES THAT SOMEHOW GOT OUT OF HAND."

"...I think that the only love is the first. Later we feel its fleeting recapitulations throughout our lives, brief echoes of the original theme in a work that increasingly becomes all development, the mechanical elaboration of a crab canon with too many parts."
~A Boys Own Story
"Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels."
