fried.
dough.
is.
the.
greatest.
thing.
ever.
made.
by.
humans.

that’s my haiku.
a bit of liberty with the form, sure…
but i’m a maverick.
look out william carlos williams.

went to cafe du monde last night.
new orleans really knows their way
around the powdered sugar and
the deeply fried dough… yes they do.

we have to install a fry-o-lator on the bus….
i need it. i can’t go back.
a fry-o-lator… and a treadmill.
they should just sell them as a team.

we are in austin now.
a nice day of tiny bike riding, record
shopping, and whole foods-ing (new verb).
next stop rock.

ice cube’s got nothing on me.

day off. franklin, tennessee.
spent 4 hours walking between
barnes and noble & whole foods.
rock and roll debauchery at it’s finest, my friends.
lock up your kids.

made a stop off at marble slab creamery
and got in good with some cinnamon
vanilla ice cream with heath bar.
which ruled.
whoever came up with the idea of iced cream
should have their own holiday.. cause that shit
is way more fun than passover. or 4th of july.
plus, those kids working there have got to be
building up to some serious forearm burnout…
and could probably use a day off.

hung out with friends tonight…
blu and aben.
blu is a singer/songwriter here in nash-vegas
aben used to play guitar for me, but he graduated
up a few flights to kelly clarkson.
SINCE HE’S BEEN GONE, we have had aaron
playing guitar… (hahaha, i kill myself!)
seriously though, it was a nice hang.
it is always great to see dear friends on tour.
not to be confused with deer friends… friends who
are actually deer… like in that fall out boy video…

and tennessee is beautiful right now.
it’s 1am, and i just came in from watching a lightning
storm… just sat in a field by myself behind the bus,
and watched the sky have a freak out.
it was amazing.
buffy time now. then sleep.

a good day.
