I spent the last four days in exile from all forms of work.
I may never go back, mama and daddy.
I jumped in a river and watched the sun set in the rain and slept with a huge moth in my tent for two days.
He drank from the puddle in the corner.
I saw Poison at the Coliseum last night. Wow. They really knew how to rock...around 1988 maybe. It was great!
The audioblog post below is the first verse of a song I wrote on the 30th. Perhaps I will get the whole thing on here. Hear.
GTM,

Summer of Jek -- EXPOSED!!!
Jake sits around in his underwear.
He sleeps late!
He eats 2 meals a day!!!
Sometimes he eats bananas in a not-so-sexy way!
He listens to headphones while he drives!
He likes to sing along!
Sometimes he litters!!!
He is always late for work but nobody cares!
He drinks beer at night!
He goes to sleep because he is tired!
He wakes up in his underwear, late, to eat the first meal of the day which is usually the second meal of the day for his father, who eats banana sandwiches like Elvis and Bill Clinton's favorite, then he is late for work because he has to blow up his tire everyday but almost forgets about it because he's made that way and drinks beer at night so he can go back to sleep and be late for tomorrow!
You've seen it all!!!
all the songs I've known
all the love I've grown
are out of control
will crumble and fail and fall
Is the chorus to a song about songs about other songs and other songs about songs.
For Nick,
Have you ever heard one of those songs (country or psuedo) about watching the world change through a window...as if in fast motion and the chorus is always "Through my lonely window pane" and perhaps rhymes with "pain"?
I hate those songs.

I feel like I'm getting sick today, so I will have a buttload of Vit C to placebo my way to wellness. My cousin is in town from Houston with her 2 kids. A 7 month old and a 2.4 year old. I serenaded the 7 month old this morning with some Nick Drake songs and...I did a little experiment...I wanted to know if Radiohead would make babies cry. Well, she liked it so much that I had to change her diaper. It's always good to know what effect your music has on an audience.
I'm trying to think of a new summer plan, because my old one has turned out to be faulty.

Today has been strange. Every moment is stretched out as if the time in between moments are now moments themselves. When you die you will not remember reading this.
