January's End
2010. How’s it going? Who would have thought that all this month could be gone so quickly? What have I been doing?
To start with, you will notice I’ve began writing and sharing my writing again. Mostly lyrics, a little bit of poetry but mainly to get myself back to that place I once sat. In the mid-2000s, I wrote a lot. Daily. Four to five full pieces. I even recorded a whole bunch of...

And you should go read them. There’s an off chance that you don’t follow her, so you probably should do that at the same time.
Questions relating to the joys in a live show.

How many?
how many letters were wrote and erased for promoting a phrase that is spoke once then fades from your life like the route out the maze so confused, when explained you know few would believe what you’d say
how many times can backspace save you from responses so cold to the questions so few so dear, oh dear, do those tears blind your view soaking skin, weathering down your chin, are they new

Rock & Chips
OK, so I don’t watch much TV nowadays because it seems littered with reality TV and poorly performed comedy but I watched (based on a Facebook status update, nonetheless) a show called Rock & Chips with no idea as to what it was.
Anyone who’s an enthusiast of old British comedy has more than likely seen Only Fools & Horses, which was a long running show with two completely opposite...

I find things addictive, too easily committed to lyrics
Any feelings I had for a person the minute
They spoke, its a joke but its life as I live it
A vivid experience driving me livid
I love it and give in to loving the feeling
Of knowing there’s someone you care for, revealing
Itself to you daily a gradual trail which is
Trailing away quick when I take a step back
Or reflect on my...

For the purpose of YouTube, something written in...
Emotion: What is emotion Hate; what is hate other than gathered up rage Pent up frustration, anger that never changed All built towards one particular person or thought The only way to solve this, is exacting the thought I brought weapons and wit, wording prepared To ruin any ties with any person who cared For the one whom my vendetta begins with I won’t stop until their whole life’s...
Perhaps I am the only person, but
sometimes I’ll be talking with someone and we’ll get on fine but I won’t know whether its appropriate to ask for their number to continue talking/hang out at a later date, or whether that’s just inappropriate. I’ve had people actually just give me their number because they want to continue but I never feel comfortable just being like ‘here, take my number’...

Pizza, movies, friends, London
I’ve got to be honest. I only got home from New York on Tuesday around 10am. I stayed awake til 11.30pm and then I passed out and woke at 7am feeling wonderful. I already miss so much about the place. I miss being able to walk into a place and be hugged by a dozen new friends, to sit engrossed in hours of live music just a quick ride away from me in an atmosphere that is more family than...

I used to crumble when the pressure was too much Used to think that humble meant you’d never find true love Separated, couldn’t distinguish low self esteem With not being conceited, do you know what I mean? I mean, I used to dream that I would get the girl Lay outstretched on the beds with the best our hands curled But every time that I woke, alone ready to hurl My balled fists at...

RINTINTIN, and the loving people
I’m at home in London as I write this. I can barely think what to say. On the 9th, I returned from Joe-C’s place. Let me tell you about Joe-C, one of those people I put in my BFF category without even pausing to consider. I mean, here’s a dude who wanted to hang that he went out on a limb on the longer distance invite and made me feel like a celeb and family at the same time. He...

New York and DC
Details:
Acela Express, Business Class
Travelling on the 2151 to Washington, DC for the first time, to see what I can see. Checked out of W143rd, Harlem around 7.30. Said my goodbyes last night as they’re off to Florida to take his son on vacation and get some of the Florida weather. He has family there so they’ll be good.
Caught the 1 train downtown from W145 to Penn (34th). Most food places...
Its like a Tumblr meet up
Two nights ago, Sierra and I ventured to The Living Room, 154 Ludlow St, to see Rachel Browne and Hailey Wojcik play sets. Hailey and Her Imaginary Friends were on first, and all I knew about Hailey was that she was friends with Seth Faulk (who played drums, sung, bass and clapped a lot) and Julie Peel. Hailey’s keyboard/guitarist is actually Julie’s bassist in the band Release The...

Harry Potter and the short books
If you know me, you know I read Star Wars books and that I enjoy books in general. I used to read a variety of books - This Is Your Brain On Music was a little intense and slow for me because it is very complex, but very informative. It was worth the read but I didn’t retain the information. Books about music and playlists were very hit or miss. I read a lot of novels by the writer of About...

Rachel Zamstein, Ian Axel and The Wrestler
I went down to Rockwood around 6 to see a girl I have known of for the last year. A friend attended the Holiday Hop 2008 and asked me to tag everyone in their photographs, which I did for the majority, and one of those people was a girl named Rachel Zamstein. Rachel is a gorgeous, humble, silly and very fun singer from Connecticut who’s performances show a lot of emotion and who’s...

Emily Wells and the Jenny Owen Youngs experience
Oh hey there, City Winery. You’re a venue with good sound, a fair display of hipsters and some talented musicians on stage. What’s that? Your drinks cost more than being alive? You want to add tax on top of the ridiculous prices already? Oh that’s cool.
Other than the prices of food and drinks, last night was pretty amazing. At 10, Jenny hit the stage with Chris Kuffner and...

Hello. This blog will attempt to be a diary to coincide with Jonmtm.tumblr.com. It won’t be as post-heavy as my main tumblr, nor will it involve reblogging or liking posts. In fact, it can’t even follow you. If you want to follow it, I’ll follow you with my main. That’s up to you though.
This very second it is January 2, 2010. January 1st began with Dan...
