if you add me, tell me? it bugs when random people add me without at least saying so.

and if you feel like not being a creep, tell me who you are, why you're adding me, and where you found me.

i bought my tickets for wilco in berkeley. yesssss

i think we're going back to the dispensaries in santa barbara tomorrow.

italian all the way. there are so many phrases that sound way better than they do in english.
-vaffanculo = fuck yourself
-fai una bomba! = roll me a joint
-abbastanza una stronzata = pretty much bullshit

and i always should include: JUVENTINO, PEZZO DI MERDA! = juventus [torino's rival soccer team] is a piece of shit.

but my very favourite words [in any language]
aspetta = wait
scarpetta = the direct translation is "little shoe" but it basically means to sop up the food/oil/soup from your plate/bowl/whatever with a piece of bread. EVERY MEAL.

the funniest thing anyone ever said to me in italian was "fantasma di merda" which basically means... ghost of shit/shitty ghost. i don't even remember why it was said but it was hilarious.

is it completely ridiculous that i kind of want to take this class?

yes. but i might just take it anyway.

SHUT UP I WANNA TALK TO GONZO

from one of my infamous written journals:

"i look forward to the day(s) when i have my own apartment (not a permanent home, mind you) and i can listen to good music at high volume, lay in bed, and smoke cigarettes and bowls and kick back when i can. doesn't sound half bad, does it?"

...according to me at age 17, i'm living the good life now.
it's definitely the simple things.

in other news, i don't feel good :(

jay bennett [former wilco member] died yesterday.

there's also one about johnny cash, written by his son.

it's weird when you realize a song you took for granted as being happy and upbeat is actually a really sad song. i guess taking it out of context changes it.
