For the last several months I’ve felt as though I’m on some radical mission here in Northern Virginia that will eventually lead me to be called back into reality (aka the midwest) to bide my merry time in solitude. Then there was last week:
Wednesday : Dinner with high school friend plus roommate. Drinks. Galaxy Hut. Mrs. Pac Man. 5:30 AM finish with said roommate. Much Procrastination.
Friday: Baseball. Hot Dogs with Mustard; Miller Genuine Draft. Close moments on a crowded train. More smiles than I can count. My favorite city spot; Peach Cobbler.
Long before the Sufjan Stevens came forth from the jukebox, we both knew where this night was going. Yes, I said Sufjan Stevens. How and why it got us in the mood, the world may never know.
Some moments are impossible to describe. Words, music, and nature may try to emulate the thought, the feel, or the sound of it, but they never are enough. Somehow the elements blend together, the world just stops, and two bodies share a moment.
It was time to go in for the kiss I had postponed from Wednesday. Like a 16 year old in the back of a rusted out Chevy, I leaned in, inching closer to her lips. The moment was finally upon us and just as I could almost taste her lips, she quietly withdrew.
She called my bluff. We had been delaying the inevitable for 72 hours at this point, and just as I was certain it was safe, she gently reminded me that nothing is a given. Somehow, this made the situation even more fantastic.
It is dangerous to divulge too much in a blog. Alas, it’s rather fun. If only more weeks were this productive.

If there’s one thing that I desparately miss about home, it is my former band.
After listening to the local scene around here and seeing the opportunities to play, I know that we could make a huge impact. I have honed and harnessed my frontman swagger over the last 24 months and a reunion would definitely yield some of the funkiest, baddest music the world may ever hear.
I wonder what the opportunity would be for us to all come back together in the same city and start things up again. Of course, there are other projects going on and I’ve been unable to find a place to contribute to the DC scene.
Anyhow, I’m not aware of a lot of bands searching for a soulful, superbad whitebread to pilot their galactic funk mission. Maybe I need to get out a bit more.
Karaoke will be a good thing. See you there bloggers.

12 ounces of freedom April 3, 2007

so, when the holiest of days in the church of football was over, the barren winter of the off-season set in and somehow it pragmatically coincided with a little thing the catholic church (or more accurately western christianity) likes to call “lent”.
for those of you who are unfamiliar with the season, in my Catholic upbringing it usually went something like this:
Jesus gave up his life and we will celebrate that on Easter. Until then, you have 40 days and nights to think about it and give something up that will be a challenge for you. Chocolate, television, junk food, beer, soda all come to mind. At the conclusion of Easter, 85% of you feel free to sin away until Christmas! Not you son, you’re still on the hook.
and so on.
anyway, having been über successful with my previous year’s devotions, i decided this year to instead commit to a change in action. to go to church every sunday, and to spend a few hours reading and writing with a bit of java involved.
apparently a lot of people had the same idea. both my church and my coffee shop of choice have been standing room only every time i happen to frequent either of them. not that it’s not thrilling, just that it would be that much more wonderful to sit comfortably and enjoy my jesus and my java every sunday.
the question is, are people more into to jesus or java?
oh, and don’t be too quick to judge, especially if you’ve not had an americano from murky. it made me a believer.
