[19 Aug 2008|08:07pm] I just wanted to step up and thank everybody for the birthday wishes over the last few days, and also thank everybody who participated in Saturday's festivities and did their part in making it the most memorable birthday ever. Thanks guys. Ghosts

[08 Aug 2008|01:17pm] [ music | Rocky Votolato - Mix Tapes/Cellmates ] I am a prisoner in the sunlight You are my cellmate in the darkness I just hope I wake up before this streetlight changes You know this world is eating me alive But you just can't find the metaphor to describe The bottle of pills and the emptiness in the soft light Ghosts

[01 Aug 2008|08:51pm] [ mood | ecstatic ] [ music | Jan & Dean - The Little Old Lady From Pasadena ] Renee sent me an early birthday package with much color vinyls: Lifetime: Pink Lifetime: Transparent Gold Lifetime: Marble Blue Ryan Adams - Everybody Knows (12" EP): Black Ryan Adams - Follow The Lights (12" EP): Black The Lawrence Arms - Cocktails & Dreams: Pink Marble The Lawrence Arms - Ghost Stories/Guided Tour: Blue-Clear w/ Silkscreen Covers (these were in the same plastic sleeve, are they a set?) And finally (saving the very best for last!) Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker: 2008 Repress on double-disc 180, hand numbered edition, 263 of 500. Aside from the vinyl, there was also a really neat book from Japan that has about 500 pages of full color photographs of rare/one of a kind/custom/famous people's Fender guitars. I can't even imagine what it cost. It's beautiful though. There's this paisley double-neck Strat that was made for Richie Samboura, and it has a Fender Electric XII neck instead of those paddle headstocks they use now. So cool. Seriously Renee, you're the best best friend ever. 2 Lovers| Ghosts

[13 Jul 2008|07:20pm] For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive I wanna find one face that ain't looking through me I wanna find one place, I wanna spit in the face of these badlands. Ghosts

[11 Jul 2008|05:55pm] [ mood | confused ] [ music | Bruce Springsteen - Jungleland ] The Altamonts - Lyrics @ Lyricsmania What the hell is going on here? First I get recognized in two stores, and then I found this. Life is very, very, strange. (They messed up the first line though, it's "I'm gonna drown in it like water" not "I'm gonna drown in black water." Stupid people.) 1 Lover| Ghosts

[23 Jun 2008|09:29pm] [ mood | amused ] Seriously? You're going to make this into an issue? Ghosts

Old lovers, new friends. [19 Jun 2008|04:21pm] [ music | Dusty Murphy - For You ] I just had the best afternoon I've had in, like, forever. Ghosts

[14 Jun 2008|11:07am] [ music | Big Star - Life Is White ] There's nothing here to be won or lost. What used to be has passed, and isn't, nor will it be connected to the present or the future. I don't think that there's anything left to say that wasn't said that morning. Don't act like you're hurt or whatever. People change. They grow up. They find new interests. I changed. I grew up. I've moved on. I hope that things are the same for you. Our past doesn't merit a continued friendship, in fact, I think quite the opposite considering the circumstances of the visit that morning. I think it was all very necessary, but I think your methods were shitty, at best. Knowing what I was going to go through that day, what I was going to go through later in terms of recovery; what you did was cold. Cold actually doesn't even begin to describe it. The part that strikes me as the most odd is that the very thing you so often had accused me of is the very sin that you committed. I've had deaths of friends, family, and loved ones in the last sixteen months. I've met people that I've deeply admired, and met people who admire me. And they've changed me too. I'm sure you're fully aware that for all of the accusations of my "change," you yourself changed just as much. The person I met would have never left things like you did. I was embarrassed and ashamed for you, to see you do something like that, even though it was me that it happened to. I hope that time has, and will continue to be good to you. I hope you find or have found whatever and whoever you want in life. I hope that you are or will be at least as happy as I am. I hope that life treats you well, and that you're always treated with respect and dignity. There's nothing left to be said between us, I have my life, and you have yours, and never again shall the two meet. Ghosts
