Between 'Zabriskie Point' and 'Priscilla Queen of the Desert' been writing a pseudo-sci-fi novel for sometime and I have been visualizing this adventure towards a Sahara, Grand Canyon or even Gobi or Chihuahuan desert lands (I did my research). Anywhere I feel like it is so silent I can almost percieve an extra-terrestrial presence or just a resonance to my own inner monologue. Could not stop thinking about it - must be a sign that I got to pursue those sand-hazy desires/visions.

Music is good, thoughts are free, whimsy is being had, I can feel the warmth of the feeling in my chest just thinking about it

Not like “oh man I’m driving four hours to get to Fernie” road trips but like a
“I’m in the backseat of the family van and it smells like suitcases and I have my favourite pillow scrunched between the cracked leather seat and the windows and I’m staring at those black dots along the windows edge because why are those there? And its also 5:00am in Revelstoke and we’re about to stop at the borderline satirically named ‘La Baguette‘ for breakfast and the sun isn’t fully up but you can see the mountains”
Road trip. You know. One of those!

Very pleased to be spending the rest of the year, and an undefined amount of 2024 back home in Arizona. Sometimes you get one too many skinned knees on the playground that is NYC and come to figure that the best respite is going rogue with the cacti & coyotes. Make tamales with your best friend’s grandmother. Watch the sunset over the Catalina Mountains.

Just navigating for a moment my home/feed/timeline and I realized.... everything smeels like MySpace. Exciting fresh summer fruit air.
Was too young to even comprehend what was going on during the beginning of early 2000s (like most of u) and the only time I felt 'k00l' enough was when a random day on 2008 I signed up for Facebook, Youtube and Twitter. None of them were interesting enough to do much, except for posting pics/videos and write nonsense status about what was up in your baby-head.
At that point Myspace was long gone, buried in the silent internet black hole where you would just find all your """deleted""" embarassing moments and some uncrypted FBI cold cases files.
Now, in this post- T u m b l r and edulcorated saturation of Instagram & TikTok and commersalisation of 'being visually communicative', where can we find... our tribe, our forum, our sense of community 4real 4real > > > > this seems 2 b the place, or at leat A place to start. Just reading through all the recs I can see how everything reaches like-minded art-makers and tasters, without being too 'scene-keepers'.
This sounds like a homage, another type of ode, but it is coming from the depth of my heart, still seeking meaning between those digital coded lines, you know?!
Hopefully I am not wrong and I can meet up with many of you somewhere - NYC, LDN, anywhere our brainy music-geeks soul will bring us <3333
Feels like this is the beginning of a new chapter of my online presence, a post-adolescence virtual rebirth.

It's simple as riding a bike (after first failed attempts), but you got to do it regularly, if you stop you might fall easy in that obnoxious spiral of guilt where you feel like .... you don't fit in, you just don't belong - that's not right. You don't know that for sure. You got to keep trying to go that film nite, that local bands roaster gig, that DIY grassroots-boost event, that book club, that poetry open mic, that comedy show, that open call set (??) - I mean just go with the flow until your social battery runs low and you got to U-turn to your 'bat cave'. Your presence can change somebody's vibes when you walk in and give it a chance. In LDN is extremely challenging, NYC I guess is quite chill and buzzy at the same time, but hey, yolo at the end.

There's nothing more vital than a song which transports you immediately to a place in time that did not even exist but you feel nostalgic about. That dream of youth,
of living everyday like a summer nite -
with your friends just hanging around
feeling the breeze down your spine
or f*ck it even on your own,
roller skating in an empty driveway.
All your past mistakes or bad decisions that led where you are right now seems vanished while you just swinging on the notes of his singing sadly, smoothly, sweetly words like: 'Tell me, whats wrong?'
