That said, for some reason, I just got the urge to play it. Just today.
Please excuse how horrible my voice sounds.
Amy's Kitchen quarter pound veggie burger.
Follow Your Heart vegan mozzarella.
Leafy green lettuce on the bottom.
Sliced Bubbie's pickle.
A slice of yellow onion.
Two slices of fresh tomato (salted and peppered).
Dijon mustard on the burger patty.
Thomas (that's the brand) plain bagel with Vegenaise on it.
This might be among the most delicious things I've ever eaten.
Still not smoking. Only chewed two pieces of gum today. I'm only chewing gum when I have a cigarette craving, which is helping to do away with them altogether. I also find just simply not having any cigarettes around helps quite a bit.
Also wrote some pretty cool stuff on banjo today. Including this thing, which might actually end up in a song:
Last night, as I finished the pack of cigarettes I was smoking, I pledged that it would be my last. It's time to quit.
Believe it or not, it's been a surprisingly easy first day. The nicotine gum helps. Hopefully I won't need it much longer. Hope tomorrow is another easy day. I guess if I start feeling really bad, I can just chew some gum.
Today Erik and I hung out for most of it. His new house ain't bad at all. The basement smells horrible, though. So does the front hallway to my house, oddly enough. Smells like burnt plastic and ass. Window open, incense burning. So I don't have to smell it.
And now, I leave you with a stupid photo sesh.
Parents are out of town. Coming home tomorrow. Ryan and his friend Anthony and Julia and Dave all came over. I'm still pretty drunk, so sorry if these sentences aren't totally coherent. I'll just let the pictures tell the story, even if I didn't take any while anyone was actually here.
The mullet of dress styles. Casual is in.
First, some bands you should listen to if you don't already: Peste Noire, Bathory, Judas Iscariot, Alcest, Om, S.O.D., Atheist, Death, and Muhal Richard Abrams.
Second, a short update on life in Soup-land. Whatever that means:
- Today I smoked a cigarette while "chewing" nicotine gum. I don't know why. I guess I thought it was funny. And you know what? Fuck all naysayers. It is funny. Fruit chill flavored Nicorette is delicious; if you want to start smoking, it's as good a way as any to set yourself up with the proper addictions.
- My amp needs to be re-tubed. It crackles like a motherfucker.
- Trying to catch up on reading. I don't have a lot of time to read lately.
- Need to re-string my acoustic tomorrow. It's starting to sound a little dull.
- Speaking of tomorrow, I plan to spend the day drunk and hopefully playing music. Maybe hanging out with Sean or someone later in the evening.
