Life is good


Man, I am so fuckin' sorry. I haven't called you in the past few days, I haven't been calling anybody. Well, okay, I did call my older brother in California, had a good conversation. I made a couple of calls trying to get some weed.

Did you find any, farmboy?

I'm waiting for a friend of mine to deliver some. I love the idea of weed delivery. 

So, what kind of week have you been having? Write any new songs? Listen to anything good?

I've been writing a whole lot, man. I think some of it is good, too. I hope to maybe finish a song this weekend. It feels so fuckin' good to have new stuff to play, you know?

I've been listening to music a lot more than I have been lately. Louis Armstrong, Father John Misty, Sufjan Stevens. Pretty fuckin' cool stuff. I like listening to music again. I haven't been and it feels good. 

I also listened to Billie Holiday on the radio. It was, like, the 100th anniversary of her birth. I love her. What an amazing singer.

It sounds like life is going pretty good, farmboy.

It's been nice. I've been eating better for a while now, so I'm feeling more energy. That, plus it's springtime and it's sunny and warm and there's lots of color. And it's Friday! Life is good.

I can tell. It's good to see you feeling like this, farmboy.

Fuck, man, it's good to feel like this, you know?

Work mornings


What's going on, farmboy?

Ain't nothin' much. man. Work mornings, you know, they're all the same. You wake up, brush teeth, shave, shower, dress, make coffee, take meds, out the door and into the truck. That's what every morning is made of. Which is good, because I don't have the energy to reinvent the wheel every fuckin' morning, you know?

True enough.

Any more questions, oh-great-interviewer-sir?

What good things are going on?

I've been writing. You've been seeing evidence of that.

That's a good thing.

That's the only thing. But you know that.

What are you listening to these days?

Aeriel Pink.

Who's that?

Some guy, I think, I don't know much about him. I'm not sure yet what I think of his album, but I love the hit song "Round and Round."

So, what are you listening to?

I'm going through a Billie Holiday period.

Oh man, she's the best. I fuckin' love her.

So, man, thanks for the conversationing. Uh...is that a word?

I don't think so. But you're welcome.
