dream last night

i had a great dream i visited an old family house in the country. then went to a country store where there were a few old things in a bin, but they were all my favorite vintage clothes then the lady said try this on and it was a bunch of intricate opal rings. then i was planning to customize a car's interior and the car was a different shape than usual, it was much cooler.

what it was like playing catch last night

settled dust in circles around a white square. charcoal clouds said hi and left with one tear. fuschia painted all over the west side of town, calling off our game. summer air carries flowers and heat i never knew could return. Airplanes too large to be believed as flying craft pass by on their way to release their energy on land in the form of walking talking people. A woman stands before me, present, judging only my pitch. I don't know her. But I know her since right now. I can feel the thread on the ball. I forget everything I know. I can make magic with this orb. Going to push it away from me as hard as I can.

Flowers on trees and lilac perfume and the colour green have replaced the white and grey everywhere.
I'm working on a few projects right now. A novel. a sequel to my movie All She Wants that I made ten years ago, and an album with my kids that will be a bit experimental in nature. Then after that i want to do a little record with my cats somehow.
I have to book some shows, it's been since sept since i played one.

I've been totally ignoring this blog, so sorry. I've been posting things on facebook. I should keep to this page.. anyhow, here's the things on my mind. Some bad dreams- I had one of a really bad earthquake in LA or a populated place in california (april 2 or 8) that had a flat type of landscape. It was like the earth cracked open and lots of people were there.
I had another dream of big planes carrying many passengers, sort of like those double decker planes being sent off and blown up on purpose.
I don't like having dreams like that.
I haven't been posting anything for a while and I thought I'd share more to make up for it somehow.
I have good dreams too, but I just thought i'd mention those ones for some reason.
I want to start posting more videos on my youtube page. more like portraits of interesting people. It'd be nice to have a tv show, even if it was just one season. It'd be nice to save a moment in time.
I've also been thinking about getting back into painting.
I have a recording date at the end of march, after which i'll switch to art more for a bit. I miss making pictures. I'm hoping 2011 I'll finish my movie a book and three paintings. and a covers album and my kids album.
Hopefully all will go well.
My whole world is changing right now. It's a pretty interesting time.
I can hear two neighbours talking. sounds like birds chirping. some noise in the forest.
Maybe I'll copy some postings i made on fb over the years and put them here. Maybe it would be nice to see them all together as one passage.

I figured out the next concept record i want to do. I'm going to produce and record other musicians on it. And it'll have a theme. I was thinking a lot about menudo-ee boy bands and the fabrication. I like songwriting, recording and video direction, and photography so it'll be fun to do all aspects of it.

I did some karaoke this weekend. finally, after a long time. I miss playing shows. This is my outlet for now. Audience of one friend. Boots, and Freebird.

I've been thinking so much about custom made as opposed to mass produced. Suits look better on the fellas when they are made for their unique body. Shoulder pads and fussy patterns are just disguising the bad fit. i say- no more shoulder pads. unless you're filming a flock of seagulls video, there's no need to take that shit into your regular wardrobe. take the foam and make a pillow.
And people don't need ten suits. maybe three tops. winter summer and formal.
and no patterned shirts or ties. for the love of god.
let your personality be the pattern.
how about this, instead of hunting for a car that matches your needs- you just design your own. no problem finding that in the lot now, cause no one else has that car.
Custom made. no more malls. no more trucking and storage. just what you need and nothing else.

now the opening sequence to the live habs game is all heavy metal sounding and the coach bums out the slideshow in the middle. it reads like fox, fox, fox, coach, fox fox. i prefer the heartbeat theme from before with just the players. . you can't take maxim to disneyland and expect the fans to buy your crappy testosterone re-packaging nightmare, ... watching the opening sequence was like watching a molson's ad. having said that, i will focus my affection on cammilleri since the cutest guy in the world is moving to cali.
There should be a parallel professional hockey league where players never get traded. and where the rink is mic'd and there's no announcer. and there's a real pipe organ.
