Days Are Just Drops In the River, To Be Lost Always

Drops in the River by the Fleet Foxes

Crown of leaves, high in the window on a gold morning
Young today, old as a railroad tomorrow
Days are just drops in the river, to be lost always
Only you
Only you, you know

Years ago, birds of a feather would arrive nightly
Gone you know, held to another like clutched ivy
On the shore, speak to the ocean and receive silence
Only you
Only you, you know

Here as the caves of my memory fade, I'll hold to the first one
I wouldn't turn to another you say, on the long night we've made
Let it go...

Let it go.

Speak to me slow my dear, no ghost of course in here
Pleased to be lonesome, quiet and clear, all is alone in here

Oh there'll be time, to get by, to get dry, after the swimming pool
Oh there'll be time, to just cry, i wonder why... it didn't work out
Oh there'll be time to fish fry, for letters by yours truly
Yours truly

Someone in my dictionary's up to no good I never find the very special words I should
the words they sting like a stump of old wasps
well i found new feelings at the feeling store

so I duck out and go down to find the swimming pool
hop a fence leave the street and wet my feet I'll find a swimming pool

Tonight, Barack Obama was elected President of the United States of America. That's been a highlight of a long year. A year that keeps going...

Tonight, Krystin's purse was stolen off of the back of her chair while we were waiting for Obama's acceptance speech. After getting a ride home from Sean, I squeezed through the kitty door in the back of our house and kicked in the door of the laundry room. (No house keys, no car keys.) Busting her open to the kitchen and, eventually, the outside world. We were back in business. After changing the deadbolt, we went back to the Red Flag and picked up our stranded Sube. As we left our house, I silently saluted our fallen iPod that had been in Krystin's purse, and put on my own. Midlake played. First, it was Van Occupanther. It's funny, or maybe not, but Krystin and I were talking about the "stuff" we lost and a line comes up in the song: "Let me not be too consumed with this world..." just as we were getting going. Then came Bandits, which says, "If you ever want to be overrun by bandits. To hand over all of your things and start over new. While we were out hunting for food, our house was being robbed. I caught an apple and she caught a fox. So I caught a rabbit, but she caught an ox. So upon our return we found everything gone, which for us was no loss. We started over...... with a rabbit. And an ox."
Pretty sweet timing, if I say so. Krystin wasn't so amused... but I cannot blame her. But still... what timing, Universe.

The thief must have been a Republican...

And by the way, have you seen my prize winning pumpkin from Halloween?

Unbeatable. (True story!)

O My Heart

2008-10-16T19:27:00.000-07:00

The past three days, I have been obsessing over the new Mount Eerie record that just came out. Julie Doiron sings with him on the whole album. I admit, I have undying devotion to Phil Elverum. If nothing else, I am obsessive. You probably know that by now though, don't you? The Microphones, The Glow Pt. 2 is one of my favorite albums of all time. It fucks me up every time. I know that he hasn't produced anything as epic since then, but everything he has put out in between has solidified things for me.
The song O My Heart has affected me the most, so far. Towards the end, Phil and Julie sing: "O my heart, O there you are. I stopped hunting. I thought you would be as big as a whale." The last line really gets to me. How they sing "I thought you would be as big as a whale."
Just wait for it.

I take it pretty serious, I guess.
I can't help it.
I'm obsessed.....

Oh, my heart. Oh, there you are. I stopped hunting. I thought you would be as big as a whale.

I am laughing at you
I am in britches

I held my own for you
Where is my tongue?

I am no more a workhorse
I am no more a workhorse
I am no more a workhorse
I am no more a workhorse

A Spoonful Weighs a Ton

2008-05-04T21:34:00.001-07:00

And though they were sad
They rescued everyone
They lifted up the sun
A spoonful weighs a ton
Giving more than they had
The process had begun
A million came from one
The limits now were none
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

Forcing it off with their hands
The trapdoor came undone
Above our heads it swung
The privilege had been won
Being drunk on their plan, they lifted up the sun

Yelling as hard as they can
The doubters all were stunned
Heard louder than a gun
The sound they made was love

Why did you leave when you will return?
Your past is your future, your future will learn
The crows that fly, we'll try not to find
Do things once, you know you'll do it twice

So I want kids with safety bricks
And a car thats quick
So we can split

Cars and Telephones

2008-03-28T11:53:00.000-07:00

I read the pages about me
In her autobiography
They were brief and to the point
A flash, while you are getting dressed
A memory that needs to be repressed
I'll just wait until it's over

Since you've gone away
I never know just what to say
Since you've gone away
I never know just what to say

Cause I like cars more than telephones
Your voice in my ear makes me feel so alone
Tonight I'm gonna drive
The silver moon is shining bright
Over the interstate
God saying hurry don't be late
Soon the sun will rise
That's when the romance dies
And I'm just tired of running around

I walked
To get the mail today
I guess
Your letter never came
I'll just
Check again tomorrow

A flash, while you are getting dressed
A Memory that needs to be repressed
I'll just wait without saying a word

Since you've gone away
I never know just what to say
Since you've gone away
I never know just what to say

Cause I like cars more than telephones
Your voice in my head makes me feel so alone
Tonight I'm gonna drive
The silver moon is shining bright
Over the interstate
God saying hurry don't be late
Soon the sun will rise
That's when the romance dies
And I'm just tired of running around

But fuck it, I love you even if
I'm gonna feel like shit
By the time I get to you
Now the sky is turning blue
The stars they disappear
One by one as the daylights nears
And yes you're in my head
But that doesn't make you here
And I've lost all my friends
But you're the one I miss the most
And now I'm almost there
Yeah I'm almost to the coast
And if I had any notion
Of how I'm gonna drive my car across
the Atlantic Ocean,
I'd be fucking set.

"I'd like to think all the people who follow my work are radical, political firecrackers. But those of you who are don't need any encouragement from me. Instead I will focus my efforts on the demographic who, like me in 1996, feels completely disconnected from life, nevermind their country. I'm hoping that there aren't very many of you, in this day and age. You people are hard to encourage, because all the political arguments will mean nothing to you. I just spent the last hour typing up my case for Obama, but you won't even read it, you'll skip ahead to something that seems subtler or less cliche, I know you. (And those of you who will read it, who are perhaps torn between Obama and Clinton, are well tended to by better writers.) So nevermind all that.

Here's why you should vote: you are going to really love it, the whole strange procedure. You get to walk right into a building that you would never normally be allowed in, often an elementary school. You can pause in the hallway to look at all the weird school-art and feel the eerie vibe of hundreds of kids living their endless kid lives right nearby. Then you follow the arrows to the voting room and look at the faces of the volunteers - who are these people? There is a hush of secrecy, the voting booth is clunky, the whole thing seems fake somehow. You consider filling in all the bubbles, like you did on the SATs. But you don't. You vote. You walk back outside feeling like you just gave blood or something, lightheaded from citizenry. You are wearing a sticker that says "I Voted" and you wish you could continue to get stickers like this throughout the day: I Ate Dinner, I Went To Sleep, I Got Out Of Bed, I Went To Work.
But alas, it is just this one thing that we all do together, savor it.

I tried to find an easy link for you to locate your polling place, but the best thing to do is just type the name of your city + "where do I vote" into google. If you're not registered, then you might not be able to vote in the primaries, but register right now so you can vote in November."

2008-02-24T09:34:00.000-08:00

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think alot
About the things that I forgot to do

And all the times I had
A chance to

I stop my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
How all the changes came about my way

And I wonder if I'd see another
Highway

I had a lover
I don't think I'd risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life that I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing
So long

I'd stop my dreaming
I won't do too much scheming these days
These days
These days I sit at corner stones
And count the time the quarter turns to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
I had not forgotten them

(photo by Daniel Peterson from Urban Honking)

So, going back to work the other day, after lunch, I pulled up to a red light. I see a big, black bird lying in the middle of the road. I can't help but look at the bird. I'm wondering how a bird gets hit by a car. Or are birds too quick for that? Did it get shocked by the power lines and just fall? Straight down? I don't know how these things happen. So I look down at this poor bird and I see it lying on it's back. Legs up in the air. It's not dead. It's head and eyes moving back and forth, just wondering how it got itself in this horrible mess. Not making any sounds, it's body not moving. Just it's head and eyes, looking up at the sky. But it's alive! The red light seemed so long. I had an eternity to decide that I would at least move the bird to a better place. If it did get hit by a car, or whatever, I was going to try and make things more comfortable. I got out and picked up the silent bird. Tucking it's wings to it's body. We stared at each other, silently, as I walked to the side of the road. I laid it down behind a telephone pole in the long grass and weeds and said goodbye. I was nine minutes late getting back from lunch, just like the day before, and the day before that.

I went back the next day. The bird was gone.

I remember drinking at the dam
With the jarheads on the other side
Warm beer and tearing up the cans
And all of us yelling abuse
Cutting school to go drinking at the dam

Skinmags in the brambles
For the first part of my life
I thought women had orange skin
It was the first part of my life
Second is the rest

And now teenage warchests fill
And do the dirty dirty work
It was the first part of their lives

Drinking at the dam
Holding back what It can
But the power is so much

Drinking at the dam
Holding back what I can

I’m just drinking at the dam
I’m just drinking at the dam

But I know you won't be sorry

And as I turn to go
Please don't wave goodbye
I refuse to cry
On roads that are paved
With men who behave
Like they know where they're goin'

And I'll stop along the way
And it's then I'll think of you
And I'll wonder if you knew
When I got blue

And things got weird
And I started growing

I cannot really think of anything to say about this... This is something that I did at work. I guess that the best thing is, nobody even notices it. It just fades into the background. The best thing that I could hope for is that this stays up there for years and nobody says anything. Nobody does nothing.

I found this on a really weird and rough day a couple of weeks ago. My head was 500 miles away. In Idaho. Thinking about an old friend who had passed or was passing. I just walked around at work all day. Bumping into things and people. My head was 500 miles away.

... and on the Seventh day, God created Eric...

Portland via Tokyo

2007-05-13T18:26:00.000-07:00

We are home.
Back in Portland. I've missed it, but I also miss Japan in a weird way. Everything is a little bit "brighter" there. The people... nicer. More polite. More helpful. The Bonnie and Driscoll there are just as amazing as the Bonnie and Driscoll we had here in the US. Justus, Yuki & Ava were a smash. They made our Kyoto trip worth the 14 hours of walking.
We'll get some photographs into your homes soon enough (all 3 or 4 people that read this..... )

This is a painting I recently bought. Obviously, it's Mister T fool. It was made by a nine year old named Levi. He's pretty cool.

"Jesus Hates It When..."

Jesus hates it when you leave the novelty ashtray you bought for your smoker-friends out in the rain for five and a half months.
I know him... and he does.

Merry Christmas James Brown, 1933-2006

2006-12-25T20:06:00.000-08:00

James Brown died today. I have a picture of the Godfather of Soul in my refrigerator. It makes me happy. I say, "I feel good!" in my head everytime I look for (cold) chocolate or olives stuffed with jalapenos or cheese (my favorite!) or a tasty beer...
I will think of you often, James.

I am not dying in the field.

2006-10-22T20:47:00.000-07:00

I am reflecting the hills

I am a bird trapped in a sunset-colored room. And I am flying.

2006-10-09T20:55:00.000-07:00

Not long ago, I returned home and was greeted by a bird. A bird who had grown accustomed. Accustomed to all sorts of things. New things. A bird who stretched it's legs. And smoked it's pipe and layed it on the mantle. It grew old in time. It grew a beard in time. And left through the window.
