This is a recording from last night's show at the Fillmore. The Cold War Kids killed it. Enjoy! Bootleg. (password: jojojoan-didion)

I was really impressed and moved by Conan on his last show. Take away point: Life is to short to be cynical and too sweet to worry. Appreciate what you have. I am without a doubt, a deep routed cynic which is a bad place to be at this point in my life. I'm far to jaded for my own good, but despite that this really made me think about the last year... and maybe appreciate what I had despite a very big loss.

After film school I pretty much rejected all forms of film. I hated the thought, but mostly the intellectual bs associated with it. I figured it was all crap... thus the rejection. Film theory for the most part did me in. That's changed in the last year or so... and I definitely feel an nostalgic curiosity for all forms of films coming back. Why? I think I'm after the experience... of participation, weather it's a 'show', film or other.

Anyways, This film looks amazing. Exit Through The Gift Shop - A Banksy Film, which will be at this years Sundance Film Festival. Sorry to miss both. Better planning is in store for 2010.

When I was in kindergarden during story time, I learned to tie my shoes. It was a pretty awesome moment of accomplishment along with learning to ride my bicycle. I remember violently rejoicing and disrupting the class at my delight. Little did I know this would represent a life time pattern of unawareness. Well, after seeing this video below... my mind is blown again. I'm frequently plagued by untied shoe laces which attributes to my often clumsy demeanor. If you've ever seen me walking down Market Street in SF... you've probably seen me flat on my back from a fall or tripping my way up stairs.

This is my 09 missed band list while I had the opportunity to see them live. There's a few more I'm missing, but will update this as it comes to me. I saw close to ~30 shows if not more last year. This year looks like I'll break that.

Jay Leno is to dumbing down the US as smoking is to emphysema. I'm not even sure if that makes sense, I'm just pissed off. He's a giant bobble head of a guy and always annoyed. I'm particularly angry with NBC. I completely subscribe to Conan. Why? He makes you think in his own self deprecating way. I'm tired of having to placate the lowest common dominator.

This is the text writer I'm using for EVERYTHING. It's elegantly beautiful, it's the Ommwriter.

It's now been officially 10 years in California as this decade closes. I said goodbye to my twenties and hopefully the mistakes that went with it! I'm wiser and smarter for it. I've been dwelling on this fact without regret and this year for sometime because it's kinda a big deal. It's a 1/3 of my life. Someone once told me, "you'll never change more in your life than in your twenties". How true that is, now looking back as I sit in the east coast house I left in August of 1999. It's really crazy to think how time flies. So much has happen. I'd hardly recognize the person I was then, but be remiss if a few tendencies still remain. I'm more stubborn than ever, but so is my resolve. I'm now looking forward to putting what most believe to be a terrible year behind me and plan for the year and decade ahead. What will the next 10 years look like, I'm not sure but I'm always optimistic. Happy New Year!

Pretty sure a few bands out there trigger a deeper emotional ADD in me. Like the later band here.
