This Isn't So Much Levitation As It Is Suspension

I'm going to be selling my stuff soon. I got books, half a TV, an accordian, a keyboard, a saxophone, more books, a really nice desk perfect for writing on.

The show last night went off with a few hitches, but nothing major. By the time we went on (12am) I realized I hadn't had anything to eat since the early afternoon. I almost had no energy (literally) and my drumsticks almost fell out of my hands during some rather important fills. I just told my body to do it, and then I went into that place where I go and let the body do the rest. This allows me to exist in that moment inside music. Very strange. . . when writing, Marquez compares it to levitation. . . this isn't so much levitation as it is a suspension, where the act and the thought are at the same time, and the thought can be elsewhere.

So yeah. Good fun. I worked for eight hours, which will go to the tour fund. I have a tour fund! The nation wants to split me across its geography. This is what we call dilemma, where circumstances outside control swing into town and fuck things up. It reminds me of my friend's brother's group of friends who created a gang of goblins on Everquest and then just went around interfering with everything else.
