Friday at 3 I am leaving skowhegan till I come around again next year. I am not going to be that upset leaving - I think I miss the feeling of coming back to skowhegan more than anything else.
Everything is totally set up
I am surrounded by many of the most talented artists in the world here at the prestigious skowhegan school of painting and sculpture, and it has taken me 3 years to finally start to take advantage of it.
I found out that Ben Rush, a really cool guy that works in the office here, is the son of Tom Rush, who I guess is some famous folk singer/songwriter. My dad used to buy his records.
On the off chance that it was aimed this way I'm going to have to respond with an automatic no. With thought and honesty, an I think so. uh oh
maybe not
Time to go to Boston and
A couple weeks ago there was an incredible storm here. It was like a movie. I was just finishing up work at about 7:45 and everyone is outside staring at the lake. I go out to see this huge wall of gray moving across the lake. It came up right behind an island in the middle of the waterbody and you could see it perfectly, and then it was just gone. Everyone started to head inside quickly while jake and I stared dumbfounded. The wall just smashed into land and it was amazing. It knocked over trees and it was almost like an out of body experience to just stand there and let it go right through you. It didn't get in the papers or tv, just a little on the radio. We must have been in the right spot, because it wasn't much of a storm anywhere else. But we found out that the wind in it was going 70.
I can't wait | | |
| I am in skowhegan and quite pleased. Im around sweet people, im making money, and im looking forward to a difficult but rewarding year ahead. I live in the bunkhouse with jake and a 21 year old guy named Matt....he is pretty cool. Matt's never around so jake and i pretty much have our own cabin.
I am writing/finishing a song every friday because thats my day off alone. So by the end of the summer I'll have like 12 songs good to go .....but i dont know if they will be played, im not sure if i really have a band. I am cool with any genre of music - but to be a band you need a focused genre. So jake and I have developed a sound - but i dont think tyler digs it. He is open, but I think he would rather play classic rock. At the end of the summer I am just going to show him the songs and ask him if he is game, and if he doesn't like them then there wont be a band, just a couple of guys who jam every few weekends.
Ok well i need to get some sleep, i have to wake up early tomorrow for breakfast shift and then later dinner shift - I also have to get myself prepared for this thursdays sewing cult with the satanic baker, shawn.
Hope you love life,
jon
PS. I am taking many pictures of the sweet staff i work with - I'll be posting them at the end of the summer. -_-
oh and this computer isnt very good so the now playing is the new fall out boy cd. | | |
| Summer will consist of:
Washing many dishes, playing lots of guitar, cutting many onions, attending many satanic band practices, being eyed by many strange artists, reading my entire AP euro text book for next year so I can start out ahead, figuring out the AW16G, making a demo (?maybe?), attending berklee guitar sessions for 5 amazing days, eating damn good food, having a damn good time, listening to the gentle music of shawns THUNDERZITHER shoebox with a pan handle (homemade guitar), generously offering some tic tacs to a fish in need, getting a lot of money, missing my friends, not missing my friends, missing smurtle, missing smurtles great percussion talents, making people read really long lists of things im doing for the summer, dragon hunting, living in a small room with a steaming hot piece of steakub, drawing crabs on the rocks who draw the sunset in their spare time, chilling with all the really cool people in skowhegan, sitting in the walmart cafateria staring at all the hicks, and then BAM its september.

| Summer - is - near
.......i can smell it
I saw Star Wars on friday night, which was surprisingly good. On saturday i chilled with jake and my little twin cousins. We went to the BIG adventure center. That was pretty fun. Jake's lasertag name was "Toady Swiss" which made my day....
Sunday night tyler came over. Today we jammed a little but it was mostly a "hey tyler" "hey" "lets just hang out" "ok" kind of day.
Next year is going to be awesome
Next year is going to suck
