Ladies, yeah!

I'd just like to say, Way to go all of us for being there for each other for loving without judgement for loving over time for being the shoulder again and again and again and never complaining and holding each other easily.

This is a Ladies, yeah! message to my girlfriends.

Way to Be. Love you.

Kurt and the Kitten

Guy sent this to me today to make me feel good. It worked. I would worship at the altar of that photo-set someone took of Kurt and the Kitten if I could. Someday I will buy this photo.

Primal Scream Showtime

Saw the Pixies a couple weeks ago.
They played "TAME."
I screamed along with Frank Black Francis every time, "TAME! TAME! TAME!"

I totally get Art Janov now.



Also saw the Butthole Surfers this year. What a treat. My favorite show so far, however I did accidentally drink too much before going and um...that takes a person too far out of the experience to really experience it. I go to experience the music. Some go to get wasted. Some don't know anything. Some don't care.





Who else? For such a crappy year, the music sure has been great. Oh yeah, The Sonics. How could I forget. Also going to see them in January in LA and San Francisco. I don't know why so many shows, but I am grateful.



Oh yeah, saw Spoon this year too. They were spot on perfect. Britt, even though he can be an asshole (which he was to Guy in the hallway pre-show) has a lot of control over his voice and can create a huge amount of contrast. Loud Quiet Loud. The photo is taken by a friend of a friend, Alan Hess. Isn't it beautiful? Wouldn't I love so much to be a rock photographer? Yes. Yes, I would.

The point of this post is screaming. I listen to music that is pretty scream-y anyway, and have found that cranking those sounds up and screaming right along, especially in the CAR is some pretty good therapy. Chuck Klosterman calls it CAR MUSIC and declares it THE BEST.

Yep.

Case Study Plus

I recently realized that if I got to live in one of my many dream houses - the Case Study House - I would know I lived in a house with the coolest name of all time.

But would have NO WHERE to hang art. What do they do?

Other great houses:

They told me I'm skirting the issue

and they are right.

Babelogue
I haven't fucked much with the past, but I've fucked plenty with the future. Over the skin of silk are scars from the splinters of stations and walls I've caressed. A stage is like each bolt of wood, like a log of Helen, is my pleasure. I would measure the success of a night by the way by the way by the amount of piss and seed I could exude over the columns that nestled the P.A. Some nights I'd surprise everybody by skipping off with a skirt of green net sewed over with flat metallic circles which dazzled and flashed. The lights were violet and white. I had an ornamental veil, but I couldn't bear to use it. When my hair was cropped, I craved covering, but now my hair itself is a veil, and the scalp inside is a scalp of a crazy and sleepy Comanche lies beneath this netting of the skin. I wake up. I am lying peacefully I am lying peacefully and my knees are open to the sun. I desire him, and he is absolutely ready to seize me. In heart I am a Moslem; in heart I am an American; in heart I am Moslem, in heart I'm an American artist, and I have no guilt. I seek pleasure. I seek the nerves under your skin. The narrow archway; the layers; the scroll of ancient lettuce. We worship the flaw, the belly, the belly, the mole on the belly of an exquisite whore. He spared the child and spoiled the rod. I have not sold myself to God.

- Patti Smith

Mom Got High

A,
how are you?

my mom being here the last three days saved me from sure serious toxicity. she was strong for me and gave me good advice and a lot of times no advice at all, just a lot of love. i don't know what i'm going to do about my situation.

i'm sitting around reading and getting high all day. oh that reminds me...it was so funny. last night i showed my mom the marijuana chocolate D gave me that BI made. it's white chocolate. she loves white chocolate. i said, do you wanna see how marijuana tastes? it adds an interesting flavor, like an herb...which it is. she said ok and had a bite. i told her That's not enough to do anything to you. she said, Well, can i have some more and i told her how much i had eaten in the past and how it had not affected me. she chose a piece bigger than that. we both proceeded to get super high. she was hilarious. oh my god. we laughed so hard over so much, i thought i was gonna give her a heart attack. all my photos she looked at were SO BEAUTIFUL and the dinner i made was SO AMAZING. it was great to see her experience such high levels of pleasure. she is a depressive and doesn't usually get that. she told me, Well i do feel more relaxed...

i told her about how you call yourself nolte in the morning and she asked why. i showed her the nick nolte dui picture and she almost busted a gut. i have never maybe in DECADES seen her laugh so hard. it was so fun. i had to tell you that.

i love you.

Maybe Jones

Hi.

I'm back.

Maybe.

I thought i might rename The Jones, "The Maybe Jones" because everything is a Maybe right now. I think I flattened the art file though, making text changes a waste of time. So anyway, I'm back.

Maybe.

(It's me, Maybe Jones.)
