Things I've Been Doing While Without Internet

- A few weeks ago I started telling people that I was working on two new albums to be finished within the next month or two. This was not bullshit. The country album has 5 tracks so far, and looks like this:
'Blue Sky Country Gold'
1) Girls at the Bus Stop
2) Across the River and Through the Trees
3) 27
4) My Mother's Eyes
5) Drinkin Some Wine (Goin Over the Hill)
And the pop album had 4 and looks like this:
'A Million Statues'
1) When Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
2) Pardon My Intrusion (That Can't Possibly be True)
3) Your Blueeyed Boy
4) A Farewell to Arms

That's right, I'm all about references now. Anyway I've been spending all my money on weed and snack foods and writing all these songs with JD and Cam, and working, and that's kind of my constant level of wutupwitmalyfeness.


- Al Pal shows up at the crib at like 2 in the morning the other day, on account of his late shifts (no homo with this whole thing, btw) and wakes me up and I'm like, 'Ugh, we need some fuckin light in this bitch,' and he's like, 'No way, man, the fuckin power's out!' and I'm like 'Whaaat?' in my best Bun impersonation, and so anyway we smoke a bowl by candlelight (I'm sorry but this requires another no homo) and go for a walk, obviously. Everything was badass as shit, most notably the burial ground and the boardwalk. Shit.


- I hit Val Vil with the old man the other day and picked up some vynil luv (Rod Stewart, Supremes, Billy Joel) and a cassette (Young MC) and some CD's (Weezer, Elvis, Space Jam soundtrack) and bought a VCR for 5 bucks and some neat shades, and a turtleneck.

- Since I got the VCR to work (I had to blow on it a lot and remove the top and clean it, and then hit it really hard) I've watched Jacob's Ladder twice, Rules of Attraction 4 or 5 times, Antz, a few Elvis movies, a home video from childhood and a home video of the band like 10 times, Ghost Dad, Super Human Samurai Syber(sic) Squad, the Power Rangers movie, The Fox & the Hound twice, and Josie and the Pussycats the movie about 6 times. The latter film made me laugh a bunch, then cry, then laugh again, then cry and laugh at the same time, then get bored. The Fox & the Hound made me sob like a bitch when she left Tod in the woods (but then he meets that hot bitch).


- Played a show at SJHS (bitches loved it)

- Went on a 'mad tear' with Al Pal to my bro's pad to run some errands and it was very aptly referred to as a 'mad tear.' We had many awkward encounters and I'll tell the bucks about them in real life.

- Read Less Than Zero twice and then wrote a ripoff of it that was pretty much just my journals written in long sentences and subtle intenseness. I dug it though, I mean, I wrote it.

- The other day I did about 7 blades right before leaving for work and I exhaled weed smoke on the west side while walking to the McDonald's for my first coffee of the day. I was way too high to be in public. I started getting really wrapped up in thinking everything as Ellis's writing.

-Yesterday I ran into two awkward girls from my past while tearin' with Al Pal and we were both really high and it was awkward as shit. Not for Al Pal though, he doesn't believe in awkward sitches (insider!!).

- I got high and went looking for Cam and/or JD at SJHS the other day and they weren't there so I spent like an hour and a half looking at shit in Loyalist City Coin and eventually bought two cassettes when the dude kicked me out (Frank Sinatra: best of the early years and a Nat King Cole collection).

- My nephew was born the day before yesterday.

- I completely stopped using my discman and now only use a walkman, and this has forced me to listen to several mixtapes of mine (Shiny Tunestation 1 & 2!) and the Head on the Door (which was alright, I guess) and Strangeways (which is good for a bunch of reasons, but I have some complaints) and this Jim Croce tape that I listened to when I was a kid, and a Young MC album (Stone Cold Rhymin').

-I've been having all these shitty dreams and the other night I couldn't sleep cause I kept getting woken up by this terrible noise that was just in my head, so I thought I was losing my mind, and there was no internet!

-Oh! I forgot this. I noticed this hilarious connection to Josie and the Pussycats that has to do with a bitch sitch, so I think it's pretty funny.

- I'm running out of things to say in songs, so I find myself trying to come up with stuff in my head while I'm walking that's so like, cliche David R. Elliott (or whatever) that it makes me lol in public. So it's pretty funny, but since I made that wine drinkin song whilst stoned the other day I think I might just start gettin high and makin up shit. New concept album! It's gon be called, 'Chronic Luv.' Look out for it y'all.

-New Lil Wayne street single is killin everyone in the game. Hardest shit out, period. (Also, 'Gettin Some Head,' is such a good fucking song.)

- Went to the ol weed spot twice today already, and it looks like I might be doin that again in like a half hour. LOLZ.

- Going to see CADENCE FUCKING WEAPON TOMORROW!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!! YEH.
