EDIT 8:48PM PACIFIC TIME: be right back i’m hungry.
EDIT 9:09PM PACIFIC TIME: back. bad look on the microwavable mini-ravioli.  
EDIT 9:36PM PACIFIC TIME: pretend all my replies are spoken in the fashion of little mama while judging america’s best dance crew. 
EDIT 11:27PM PACIFIC TIME: imma go work on some tunes and hit the sack. gotta track guitars for 12 hours tomorrow. much love. i enjoyed the smalltalk and bigtalk.

the internet isn’t always an appropriate place to stream thought on some circumstances or personal situations. best to keep some things to thyself. i’ll let bono take this one.

sleep 
sleep tonight 
and may your dreams 
be realized 
if the thunder cloud 
passes rain 
so let it rain 
rain down him 
so let it be 
so let it be 

sleep 
sleep tonight 
and may your dreams 
be realized 
if the thundercloud 
passes rain 
so let it rain 
let it rain 
rain on him.

…her.

love,
martin.

today i was off in my own world and really had to pee. you know the b-line large public bathroom rush where you sort of just go for it? k. so i’m in that zone, bomb inside and lap the place twice trying to find the urinals before i felt the presence of 6 old ladies staring at me over my shoulder like i was completely out of my mind. took me a good 30 minutes to shake off the “i’m a creep, i’m a creep” internal monologue. bad look, mj. bad look.

if i go buy a fucking swiffer can this canadian cable company discontinue the commercial just for my tv? please? i’ll invest the money in one to not see the thing again. it squirts! it sucks! it cleans! i get it! it sounds like a whore! this reminds me why i hate television. i literally haven’t watched it in years…well, i have in dvd form, whatever, i don’t know anyone in vancouver and we don’t get out of the studio often so it’s pretty much the only late night option. however, it’s great for one thing up here…uh, typical musician bitching limited to one sentance, go: mtv should take a hint, muchmusic actually shows music videos. 

oh yeah, happy hallmark day.
i guess i should do one of these now: <3.

a big person in my life recently laid down the law. there are two types of people. orange soda people and not orange soda people. …think about that selection and the type of person that makes that selection…especially at a restaurant. i am an orange soda person. i live in the shadow of legends such as kel from kenan and kel. that dude fuckin loved him some orange soda. well, technically i’m an orangina person. unique breed. i’ll settle for fanta or sunkist if i have to.

quote of the day:
“if at first an idea isn’t absurd, there is no hope for it.”  
-albert einstein

for the past week i have been on a meditation retreat in tibet and went through a spiritually liberating moment when i threw my laptop and both cell phones out of our yak skin boat. i swore myself off using electricity, shaved my head, donated all my clothes and began to only wear a zhuba robe. my management somehow found me, kidnapped me by force, drugged me, and flew me by jet to the mountains of taiwan where i was hypnotized back into my normal way of thinking by a shaman. i was then flown directly to vancouver, bc. i arrived yesterday still wearing my robe, went out and bought a wig and a few shirts and pants that i can live with for a while. life is a bit hazy after that journey, but it opened my eyes to freedom of spirit and peace in ones body and soul. oh yeah, and we started recording our new record today. 

i’m melting!
