12:40 p.m. I get out of bed.
DREAM: Driving around a dim lit neighborhood at night. No streetlights. The only light around is coming from the headlights of my car. A few friends of mine are playing a strange game with bikes that involves them riding on the streets in the dark and playing chicken. The road connects like a big circle. As I’m driving around, the headlights shine on a few of my friends on their bikes as if I’m filming with night shot lighting.
Breakfast: Hot Oat Bran Cereal with Cinnamon, Brown Sugar, Blueberries, and Milk. Immune Defense. Loratadine (allergy medicine).
Mae rehearsal in Chesapeake with Zach, Jacob, and Pogge.
Lunch: Egg Salad Sandwich with Lettuce and Tomato. Salt n Vinegar Chips. Jasmine Green Tea.
Stretching. Exercising. Snowden and Sigur Rós.
Strawberries and a Banana.
Tennis with Chad, Elliott, and Art.
Dinner: Leftover Cabbage and Potato Skillet. Garlic Naan Bread. Natural Cranberry and Grapefruit Soda.
Chad and I work out some songs at the storage unit.
It’s midnight. I’m beat and tired. It’s still early.
Coffee and Chocolate Chip Cookies.
I realize I’m a sort of collector. I’ve been scanning my favorite images and articles from Adbusters Magazine and some artwork Phil made from the other week.
Somebody in the house just turned the heat on and put it up to 75 degrees. Unnecessary. Too hot. Basic rules: When the AC is on, never below 70. When the heat is on, never above 70.
Becca describes to me her pleasurable experience eating the best banana she’s ever had in her life. Also, we decide that it is better to end a phone conversation with “Enjoy” rather than “Goodbye”.
Some thoughts:
Modern civilization has given us unlimited options. Choice, in many ways, has become the catalyst to all our problems. Customize – Personalize – Stylize. It’s eating away at our valuable and precious time. You spend all of your energy scanning the many fish in the sea - catching, analyzing, tasting, eating, feeling, and kissing each one. You would think with more choice there should be more freedom, when just the opposite has happened. We’ve become slaves to vanity and we know it. But we continue on living like the self-interested creatures we are. Narcissism has taken his course with us and he continues to deteriorate our ability to love. Grow up! And replace your “Love I” religion with an “I Love” mentality.
I wash my clothes, clean my teeth, and sleep around 5:30am.
