Real times

Raged it last night at the Old Time Relijun show in the big room at the K warehouse. Got sweaty, poured bottles of water over my head. What a time! Then we raged it at the Royal where I drank plenty of tequila and got along real well with everyone on the dance floor. What a strange and unexpected utopia, that bar! Jocks, squares, hippies, lesbians, gays, trannies, metals, bros, chicks in heels, suburbanites, moms, dads, and everyone in between just having a time, getting so into it. I danced on the dj stage next to the two hottest DJs in the Northwest, Rachel Brady and Heather Dunn (who gave me an awesome shoutout over the mic).
Real strong feminine force there last night. We ladies ran the show.
Now what do I do with my day? Should I ride a bike to the rainforest and throw rocks in the river and think about my life? That sounds nice. Or maybe I will go to K and record with Ian Svenonius' and Calvin's new project. Play the hell out of a tambo or something.
I heard that if you keep a positive thought about something you want out of life in your head for 17 seconds without any negative or doubtful thoughts creeping in, it is more likely to happen for you. Let's all try it and see what happens.

women's wizdome

I have to recommend that everyone, men included, read the book "Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom". I've been reading it nonstop for days and it's really insightful.

Wavism

Waves. Waves of incapacitating and crushing power. My chest is heavy under the pressure of things. It seems there are a lot of things these days. What am I really doing? Am I making it happen or merely succumbing to the waves of the world? Am I an intentional and ambitious person? And why oh why do I torture myself with torturous notions? I get these ideas about the way things are, like about, well...things. I get jealous and it becomes too much. Feelings of inadequacy plague me and haunt my days. Sometimes it's really there all the way, like now. Sometimes it takes the back seat. When will I learn to take care of myself the best way possible? I am feeling obsessive and not really liking it. I think I seriously need to cut back on coffee. That's one thing. I'll take a walk.
I think I need a Tricky album.

Getting it out

Today was another day at work. I have never had Labor Day off ever and my stomach hurts, but I'm fine.
God, what'm I going to do today? I kind of feel like reading in the park or doing music in the basement, but what will most likely happen is I will freak out about stuff I have to get done, and then not do any of it. I've been having some floating anxiety lately. Is that a real term, "floating anxiety"? I think I've heard it before.

Man, I should've just skipped the gravy at breakfast.

Where does a person go to get decent clothes anymore? I went to American Apparel and Urban Outfitters yesterday, expending a great deal of energy, to find only a small gray t-shirt. I ought to make the majority of my clothing. That's what I ought to be doing.
I ought to.
Think I'll take a nap. Someone call me, please, so I can complain with my vocal chords.
