random order.

i know most of the TSA workers at Oakland International now & in turn i am also a way to familiar face to them. it’s pretty much like the airport version of “CHEERS” now. funny, yes, but a little bit of added weird to my reality. sometimes i treat the flying/airport existing as a grand anthropology study & there’s a little bit of romance that dances in the recycled air; everyones coming or going. other times i really hate it, but even in those times of utter hatred & unnatural & unhealthy of actions, i just treat it as an occupational hazzard & get over it, put my eyemask on & its ‘goodbye world’. i certainly do love landing in the most random of towns, cities i never knew existed where i’m suddenly the anonomous one in the crowd, i dont know anyone & nobody has a long history with me either. and in these moments of feeling so insignificant & out of element, i notice the crowd of partygoers, music appreciators,  & eager dancers & everyone is instantly familiar; the archetypes are stererotypes are cliches & suddenly i’m right at home, acknowledging deeply & sweetly humming the realization that the common thread between us all is the ART.

And if you ever stop making music, you can make a seamless transition to writing….
you do have a way with words that is so very effortless.

Amen sister! I would happily contribute to a volume of airport stories. By the way, I’m typing this on my Blackberry from American terminal @ San Juan (Puerto Rico) airport as I prepare to spend the night here…with respect to Brian Eno, what would go on your “Music for Airports” playlist?

I agree. art is something that is lost from most mainstream music and concerts. Actual art, whether music,film, or visual always moves you in a way there is no denying. that being said…cant wait for the loft in minneap to get my f***n ART ON !!
