my life revolves around a twenty inch wheel,country,still frames,rye,a cold pbr,welding,making things with my hands(fuck buying shit,make it!) tattoed punk rock girls,last call,texting like a japanese school girl,kansas,laughter,listening,makin up,and makin out,staying up all night,drag the river playing in my living room twice,trails,and drinking when i'm happy!
Music
"I hate a song that makes you think that you are not any good. I hate a song that makes you think that you are just born to lose. Bound to lose. No good to nobody. No good for nothing. Because you are too old or too young or too fat or too slim or too ugly or too this or too that. Songs that run you down or poke fun at you on account of your bad luck or hard travelling.
I am out to fight those songs to my very last breath of air and my last drop of blood. I am out to sing songs that will prove to you that this is your world and that if it has hit you pretty hard and knocked you for a dozen loops, no matter what color, what size you are, how you are built, I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work. And the songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you.
I could hire out to the other side, the big money side, and get several dollars every week just to quit singing my own kind of songs and to sing the kind that knock you down still farther and the ones that poke fun at you even more and the ones that make you think that you've not got any sense at all. But I decided a long time ago that I'd starve to death before I'd sing any such songs as that. The radio waves and your movies and your jukeboxes and your songbooks are already loaded down and running over with such no good songs as that anyhow". Woody Guthrie

About me: "Life has got a habit of not standing hitched. You got to ride it like you find it. You got to change with it. If a day does by that don't change some of your old notions for new ones,that is just about like trying to milk a dead cow.
If you're too bull headed to change your old notions for the ones that come up every morning, you belong over in the herd with the ones that are herded around like cattle."
Spring has sprung in Kansas, which naturally draws the North American Smilla out of her winter lair in search of icy beverages- but alas- her favorite bartender has migrated to warmer climes. Whatever shall this poor creature do?!
Late notice, but if you are free this weekend you should drive up to Joplin to celebrate Steve's 30th. He is pumped and it should probably be a good time.
So fill me in on what all your doing for sxsw. I believe our friend Bob is coming in from Oakland. The only concrete plans we have are on Sat. Jon Dee Graham and 1:30, James McMurtry at 2:30. Then going downtown to drink for a couple of hours, then going to see Lucero at Waterloo Park at 6:00......
