Lately I've been just bursting with ideas, whether it be literary, musically, or business-y. I've just been spotting icebergs in my head,but completely missing everything they have to offer. I'll introduce an idea to myself, but then fail to follow up. I carry a notebook around with me and I attempt to put it straight to paper, but somehow I lose the translation. I think it's a little like my days when I would improvise in jazz bands. I believe it was louis armstrong? idk maybe not. But he said once you become a master of your instrument the gap between your head and your fingers disappears, and you can just. play.

I pray that will happen to me someday in any of the mediums I venture in.

I've been listening to a lot of ani difranco of late and let me just say, she is such an inspiring person. she makes a lot of things make sense to me, and not because she says them out right either. it's like a "wwad" sort of thing, she's funny, incredibly smart, business savvy, poetic, and oh yea, she plays guitar like nobodies business. and everything she does for buffalo just makes me appreciate her that much more. i really would love to meet her someday, though i fear i'd be nothing short of a fan to her. fingers crossed on the righteous babes internship.
