Eagle City Chinese & Tex-Mex



wow!!! earlier i felt pretty awful about the divorce but that seems so far away now i mean who cares right? we are both people, beautiful creatures on this amazing planet and yeah we are going thru some stuff but i mean i know we still love eachother i can see it in her eyes and i know she can see it in mine. everything is totally going to work out because im a great guy and still the same guy she fell in love with and married and even if we dont get back together i know we had this wonderful connection that can never be undone and love is a magical fountain and at least i had a chance to drink from it and that memory will quench my thirst for now!! wow they must put something in these Eagle City nachos! i mean look at how beautiful they are, all of that red and white and green and black. im not that hungry now but just look at them!!



jesus!! also i just started writing a screenplay well its more of an outline really but its really fantastic its about this beloved district attorney who moonlights as a serial killer meanwhile a suspected killer is really doing his darndest to protect the streets at night. it really plays with notions of institutions or whatever and expectations of good and evil. throughout the whole thing its just gonna get tenser and tenser as the district attorney gets more gutsy in his kills and the hated street vigilante keeps trying to stop him. its gonna be great!! get this, at the end the two of them meet on the roof of an old clock tower and they finally duke it out with all kinds of cool stuff like "how could you abuse your power to murder people?!" and "you are nothing and i have all the power!" then just as the vigilante is gonna cuff the district attorney, he pulls them both off of the clock tower and they fall to their death!! can you believe it? then the end details the two funerals and of course the evil DA gets a large catered service with trumpets and old ladies crying and doves and all of that shit because everyone thinks he died trying to stop the real murderer who in fact was trying to stop him! its real heady stuff im definitely going to work on it tomorrow i think my wife would really like it she loves law and order a lot and honestly ive watched some with her and i think its fine but this is a lot better because it really casts a light on age old struggles of why people do the things they do and really calls into question the entire notion of public service!!! and the whole thing is going to be soundtracked with this great tom waits song and these beach boys outtakes i found that my wife wouldnt let me listen to because she said they were offputting or disconcerting or something but everything in this world has a place and i think i found the perfect place for these amazing songs. im really really really really excited about it can you tell? i was going to call it "heroes" but then realized that was already this tv show but wouldnt that be a great name for it if that show didnt exist? wow look at how pretty these nachos are!!



i just got the greatest idea for a song i havnt played my guitar in a few years which my wife never hesitated to point out but whatever anyway i am just not tired even though i do have to meet with a divorce lawyer tomorrow morning but who cares about that im going to start playing again because when i was nineteen or so i wrote this song about a tree in the front yard of the apartment i lived in and all of my roommates flipped out over it like really flipped out over it im not kidding so i think i have some talent there i just need to focus on it more and practice more and i think now is the time to start doing that. you only live once right?

the color and just overall positive feelings that come from these nachos that make me feel in a way that things are going to be ok and that i should stop worrying so much about my divorce and that yes i am an awesome awesome and talented person and someone else;s love doesnt define that we only define that ourselves: Photobucket

the feeling of validation ill have when the movie studio buys my script and i get to see it on the big screen and hear my soundtrack swell into the auditorium and then the thunderous round of applause afterward and ill stand and bow and give a speech that tells them all it was no big deal i was just trying to do my best to turn the world on to some important issues. maybe i can even go into public service after, not a senator or anything but maybe house of congress: Photobucket

the way i captured a sort of gritty urban essence in the photo of the outside of eagle city up at the top of the post i mean wow i want to say it was a happy accident but in reality i totally kind of planned it and i think im a natural at this photography thing and i think im going to be doing it a lot more from now on: Photobucket
