Love is born of suffering, pain, and heartache. Love is complete devotion and dedication through all odds. Love is trial of trust. Love is the ability and willingness to let go. Love is not cute, and you can not measure it in material gifts and pleasures. Love is full of memories of sacrifice and longing. Love travels great distances. Love nurtures. Love grows and changes and becomes strengthened by the miseries of life. Love is not awkward or contrived. Love is natural.

When you have achieved all these things, then you will truly know what love is.

Peace,
Zach

Current Music: the cure - six different ways
Isn't it great when you meet someone who really intrigues you? It happens so rarely. Lovely.

I am very excited to meet some peeps. I haven't even gotten to UA yet and there are already new interesting people in my life. rock on. good byeeeeeeeeeeee sorry vista!!!

finished a song today. it's got a groovy bassline. haha.

Helped out with the good old Buena High School showband, realized I miss those guys.

so, this couple met online, and they got married. which is cool. but they printed off each of their personal ads and they're getting them framed. How fuckin lame is that? I'd be embarrassed. Not to mention all the other ugly shit I have to frame. And everyone was mean today. Or maybe it was just my four hours of sleep kicking. But goddamn, sometimes my co workers are just insensitive. And apparantly no one can tell when I am joking so they get all hurt. Oh well. I still think they are wonderful people.

I had sushi for dinner, it was most delectable! delectible? perhaps it is interchangible. Interchangable. Haha. Like Collectibles.

Rules of Attraction has a most edgy soundtrack by tomandandy. I dig it. Especially "Snow Theatre/Final Steps"

And by the way, The Oompa Loompa songs from Tim Burton's version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are freakin awesome. Danny Elfman you rock. Especially when you use random home-made instruments to write a "Planet of the Apes" theme song. And especially when you have socks tattooed on your ankles. Yes, he does. How random is that?

And how random is this entry?

In case you haven't noticed, there is no point. Which is odd for me.

I had a mountain dew (ew) and like 3 iced teas (yum). And only four-ish hours of sleep. Soooo I'm chattery.

Um. I think that's about it.

love yas

ah, there is nothing quite like a glass of wine, a clove cigarette, and a walk in the boonies at night.

Though, it would be nice to have someone to walk with.

Current Mood: cheerful

Ick, how disappointing life can be some days...What a weird week. Strange that I am so numb.

Why is it that, upon one's last night with all his friends, some that he has known from kindergarten, people can sit around and watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm", instead of truly interacting with each other? Am I odd for wanting real human moments?

Why is it that someone who is "madly" in love with her FIANCE, but is throwing herself all over said departee on sofa? Why does this bother me so much? And how the hell was she my best friend at one point?

And why are people so dramatic?

And why do they judge each other by what they wear?

Why is the only guys I ever find attractive are straight?

Why are gay men so...typical?

 Where are the hemp wearing, guitar strumming, nature loving, slender, tanned, vegetarian, and philosophical young men that I pretend exist? Take me awayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy from this TOWN Blah love zach

Some interesting bits from my personalized astrological analysis...

"Promoting beauty, the arts, or entertainment can make you very happy. You want to contribute something positive and loving to the world at large and you want to be recognized for your beauty, artistic gifts, or loving generosity. You may "marry" your work - that is, be more involved in your career than in your private life. You are a natural host or diplomat."

"You have a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, you may prevent yourself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. You are more rigid and dogmatic than you realize. Your approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. You take your own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if you are not 100% clear about some ideology or theory."

~~~

"In love, you desire a deep, intense, passionate union with your beloved and form very strong emotional bonds and attachments. You "marry" the person you love at a very deep emotional level, and are often extremely possessive and jealous of any threat to that union. You can be very demanding with your love partner. You tend to be somewhat suspicious of even platonic, friendly relationships your partner has. If you are ever betrayed, you are capable of hating with as much force and intensity as you once loved. You are attracted to people who have an aura of mystery about them."

"You have deep, compelling love feelings that seem irresistable and often irrational. Your love relationships are very passionate and intense, and you experience both agony and ecstasy in love. You are always changed in a deep, fundamental way by your love experiences, though this may come about through painful and difficult confrontations or separations. You are something of an emotional fanatic about things you care about."

"You have high ideals and a refined attitude towards love, seeking to relate in ways that are beyond ego needs and selfishness."

Heh...

in other news, Dr. Delome wrote me! Finally! Looks like education and the arts is being undermined abroad as well as in the states. Go Bush!

Yay! I'm all buoyant. What would I do without Alison?

Alison came over to use my scanner to make a copy of her driver's license. She told me a story that really moved me emotionally. She saw a jackrabbit laying in her backyard. It was dead, but it was laying in such a peaceful beautiful way that, even hearing it, I could imagine such a beautiful image. Its eyes were still moist, and there was still a bit of dirt on its nose. It was lying gently on its side. Such a natural death. Before long, vultures came, and the rabbit was almost completely gone within minutes.

Death is such a beautiful process. Why don't people see that? It's nothing to be afraid of.

Love,
Zach

Current Mood: self pitying
Current Music: silence
"You might be a bit edgy today as you are pulled into an emotional drama that is outside of your comfort zone. Don't waste energy fighting, for there's not much you can do to avoid it. An airplane to a South Sea island may sound good, but you won't really be able to escape your feelings. You don't need to fake it so others think you are happy. Just be honest, knowing that you'll be back to your buoyant self soon enough."

Well, if the stars say don't fight it, then don't fight it eh? Not feeling very buoyant yet....

waiting...

Ok, seriously. what the fuck.

At least Dee thinks I am "one of the coolest people on the entire planet." You know, I'm not sure that should be so objective. Maybe I should act like a normal human being and be pissed off. You would too.

Current Mood: trying not to feel anything
So I'm probably not going to live on campus, and my mom said I have to get a studio apt if I live off campus, which means no roomate...hopefully that will not be the case, but at this rate, I guess I just have to accept whatever happens anyway - that is just how things seem to be going. I guess they are trying to keep me away from Joel again. But hey, it worked for a year, so why don't they just continue making me miserable?

A sad thought occured to me last night, which I don't think would be a good idea to post on here. Ugh.

Saturday I went to a concert at the Shane House art gallery in Tucson, the concert was ok though short, and lacking. But it was cute. Lots of lesbians. Two guys. Hooray. The gallery was cool, though. Got hit on by old men in coffee shop and decided I didn't want to feel like an object anymore so I left.

*pops neck*

The most interesting part of the trip, actually, was when I read an article about a music therapist. He writes/uses music to calm and heal his patients, and has seen great success. He was discussing the psychological connection to music, and its ability to heal. He noted that when a person is listening intently to music, their heartbeat actually slows down or speeds up to match the music. Thus, to calm a person down, the tempo of the music must be slower than their normal heart rate. Likewise, if you are looking to pump yourself up, you should listen to music that has a fast tempo. Interesting, when you consider the origins of music in Africa and it's connection to psychedelic ritual. All music seems to be based on the human heartbeat. Gah, it's so wonderful to think about. Speaking of African music, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Zap Mama. She/they are absolutely awesome.

I was also thinking about the role of music in different religions. Music has always been centered around our concept of deity. In pre-christian beliefs, musical instruments are all very earthy and naturalistic. They reflect a closeness to the earth and a looser, freer way of living. Consider African drums, made of animal hide, wooden mallet instruments, etc. When you move into Gregorian chants and medieval music, it is interesting how the subject matter turns to the brilliance that is man and his relationship with God. Fascinating. It seems that music reflects more deeply and truly the society that it was created in more than any other means of understanding human history. Classical music is tightly organized and hierarchical, with first chair and second chair instrumentalists, etc., and of course, one leader: the conductor. This is exactly how the social system worked at that time. Jazz represents a rebellious and emotional-based way of playing, with performers "talking" to each other through their instruments. And now, it is interesting that the more our society becomes based on technology, our music is also more electronic. One could easily compare a rave with entranced dancers to a pagan celebration. It is the same basic structure, just a different exterior, if you will. Interesting. Also interesting to imagine where music will head in the future of our species. I wonder if music exists elsewhere in the galaxy, and what it sounds like, or if perhaps another artform that we can't even grasp? If music is "organized sound," then could there, maybe, be an artform of "organized light"? Or maybe "organized feeling." But we have all those, don't we? Humans are pretty amazing.

Anyway.

Current Mood: contemplative
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time.

And the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives

Yes we speak of things that matter
With words that must be said
Can analysis be worthwhile?
Is the theatre really dead?

And how the room has softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow
I cannot feel your hand
You're a stranger now unto me

Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives

Simon & Garfunkel
