oh man, don't people ever get tired of sayin' "one day"? keep figuring over and over i should be just doin' what it is i wanna be doin' and dontcha know it's a relief to be a nobody. you know hindu philosophy is based on doing what you want without holding back because you'll realize in the end that it's all empty anyway. why then, would you do anything that's empty to begin with when there's everything else you someday coulda shoulda done. there comes a time when one asks even of shakespeare, even of beethoven, is this all? so maybe we shouldn't be stuck in dr. seuss. i might be content forever living in a tent, sleeping in a hammock, stack o' books in the corner, and pretty view outside, maybe. we'll see. dropped all that jazz because life's too short to do anything useless. that's why you gotta have your dance parties and one day we'll all be infinite.
cynda and ian got me a ticket to the iron & wine concert for my bday. i'm pretty sure my life is complete. or will be on december 2nd anyway. (you ever hear the live at bonnaroo album? ...it makes you believe in great things.)
(mother, don't worry.)

i have a live version of this song from a milwaukee show and its in my top five favorite songs of all time. listened to it forty times in a row over the summer.
are you going to admit it if you like that concert more than syrupy suf-y? sam don't need no symphony!
this is the most consistently beautiful song i have ever experienced.
