Excuses.

I thought long and hard and I just don’t have it in me to stand in front of a ton of people and talk about the music industry so I canceled my “guest speaker” appearance at my old University this fall. It was bad timing with the opening of our new venue and my trip to Europe anyway, so I told them maybe next time.

But lets be honest - the truth of the matter is that I have no interest in going back to Denver. I’m not sure if I ever will. I miss all of my old friends there, but my Denver closet is full of skeletons that I don’t want to face. The past is behind me, the future is beautiful, I want to let it be what it is. Why rock the boat?

My Alma Mater wants to fly me out to do some sort of class or lecture or something for the music business students. Hello, TERRIFYING. They want me to stand in front of people and say stuff. Its like they’ve lost their fucking minds. I don’t know anything about anything. If I go I’m afraid I’ll be a purple stuttering mess and If I don’t go I’m afraid I’m being a big fat pussy. I don’t know what to do.

Stalk much?

I was once interviewed for a K.I.T.H. documentary on obsessed fans. At the time of the interview I couldn’t form a sentence. I had tears streaming down my face and snot bubbling out of my nose and I just kept jumping up and down and screaming OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD because I was so excited to have finally met them.

My friend John and I were the only people in Denver who got ALL of their autographs because Kevin had explosive diarreah and had to be rushed back to the hotel. Also, we may have tried to follow them and they may have called the cops on us. That’s all speculation though.

Part of me is embarrased that I used to act like that and the other part of me thinks I’m an asshole for always being so cool and indifferent when I meet people now. You can’t work in the entertainment industry and become a blubbery baby every time someone you used to idolize gets within 5 feet of you. But still, I wish I wasn’t so jaded and bored with “the industry” that I still had it in me to get that excited about meeting someone. I guess there’s always Anthony Bourdain.

Parents Fight Over Which Gang Toddler Should Join (Denver news)

I think they should opt for the Crips, that other gang sounds kinda lame.

hilker : A denver neighborhood’s foreclosures since early 2006. I owned a house in Denver which was also foreclosed on in 2006. Closer to downtown though, too bad this map doesn’t show foreclosures in my old neighborhood. I think it’s funny that I was starving and barely able to survive in Denver, but am flourishing in NYC which is supposedly “so hard to survive” in (or so everyone says).
