I just want to say

TWO

things

WELL 

THREE

if any of THAT 

SOUNDED

unhappy or confused 

then

I just got lost in something I clearly can't 

EXPRESS 

SHARP dresser SWEET crooner

I like her a LOT*

*I'm not talking about tom huddleston's blues;  I'm talking about spray paint and fireflies

goodnight sweetheart 💋 

I LOVE you VERY much 🫶🫶🫶

👾🫚🍀❤️🔥

I STILL didn't 

FINISH 

when I was in the shop

I SAID 

I could buy

a CUP

which I could use

for the microwave 

comestibles unspecified 

hand towel 

& although I didn't think of it before 

I meant a KITCHEN hand towel 

it WORKS 

I didn't 

FINISH with the towel

SO

I'm LIKE 

I want to BUY one of the towels 

is that possible 

she's like

which one 

the embroidery one

she's like 

DOES

FIVE BUCKS 

seem like TOO MUCH 

I'm LIKE 

are you SURE it's 

ENOUGH 

I woke up pretty early

like 7:30

& my plan for the morning 

was to talk

to the motel lady

I've already paid

BUT 

the office isn't staffed

she comes in

& I'll be leaving at an off time

SO 

I wanted to make sure

LEAVING the 

KEY

or dropbox or WHAT

BUT 

I coulda just DONE that

the REAL REASON 

I want to BUY

a TOWEL 

---- now hear me out

it's adorable 

OH

I went through this whole thing in my HEAD 

I took a picture 

I was gonna 

SAY

HEAR me OUT 

& just have a picture 

BUT 

then I thought 

MAYBE 

that looks like you're 

giving some KINDA signal

NOW

it feels kinda

NOT 

the just joy of it

SO

THEN

I'm LIKE 

should I tell him all THAT 

OR should 

I JUST 

MOVE on with an explanation of the towel business 

APPARENTLY 

we decided 

that MADE us leave this in

MY $ is on wanting credit for 

HEAR me OUT 

with then

a PICTURE 

BUT 

SOMEBODY here

wants to put

$$$

on

UNDERSTANDING 

whether

THAT

IS

a THING 

ANYWAY 

I'm melee dosed

& I don't think 

I've been

OH well

I guess in minneapolis 

BUT 

THIS place is a different mindset 

I CALLED this place

I've been using booking.com

it's all together 

BUT 

when I went to book the workshop 

SOMETHING 

on the website was

CONFUSING 

ENOUGH 

for me

to HAVE to email

AND

when he ASKED me 

if I had other

QUESTIONS

I asked about hotels

when I called 

I'm LIKE 

HI

I'm so and so

do you TAKE

such and such method of payment 

the person on the phone 

CALLED the OWNER 

to ASK

& RATHER than 

SAYING 

YES

or NO

she SAID 

IF

there is a picture of it on the machine

THEN we TAKE it 

I CAN'T SEE the machine 

the person on the

PHONE 

says, yes

it is, in fact, pictured

BUT 

if she's the OWNER 

& she doesn't 

KNOW 

probably 

it's a passive aggressive 

could you have just f*CKing LOOKED 

BUT 

I'm not at all certain 

that ANY

of this

gives me a good feeling 

that there won't be a problem 

BUT 

it was

EXACTLY 

what I WANTED 

I've been having different experiences 

in different places

by design

& I figured 

there would be enough options 

I wouldn't be sleeping in the 

CAR

SO

I'm in the old school

ROADSIDE 

& I've been sitting here 

trying to 

DESCRIBE 

I've been 

EASING

into it

THIS is more 

in the WILD 

ANYWAY 

the tagline

FEELS 

ironic

& the TOWELS -- just the hand towels 

like some kind of towel charger

with a CROWN

at a jaunty angle

& THIS TOWEL

I MEAN 

I THINK 

THIS is a THING I do

MAYBE 

this TOWEL is the

NEW

ghost dogs

I LOVE the ghost dogs

when I took that spring break back in college

to fredericksburg

because I thought surely there would be 

NO spring break ACTION 

& GRACELAND 

had just come out

& I had this old janky typewriter 

I listened 

& I typed lyrics I liked

AND 

I f*CKing collaged them

with STUFF I 

picked

UP

I bought 

the ghost dogs

at some funky little 

SHOP

they watched 

BUT 

I've also got rules

for the spending 

of money

LIKE 

you do not need more

STUFF 

you got a problem with 

STUFF 

well THIS adventure 

has a SIDE QUEST

UNLIKE 

basically everywhere I have ever stayed 

there is NO COFFEE apparatus 

I ACCOUNTED

for THAT

BUT 

there's no HOT WATER 

SO

I MEAN

the tap gets PRETTY hot

I been mixing my LAIRD maca

with hot tap water

kinda GRIM

DOLLAR general 

had like a Kcup 

their brand

I'm like

NO

what're you gonna do with 

THAT

SO

I ended up with the 

ADORABLE 

coffee

MUG

there is a microwave 

WHICH 

I don't love 

BUT 

COFFEE

AND

one thing

HOT

water

AND

LIKE MAGIC 

there were FIREFLIES 

Well I was trying to find, no, I was going through the cords and I thought I was doing B6 but then I realized I was doing it wrong and I liked the sound of it and I can't find it on the chart so went to hey Google

And it's like what do you want from me lady? I'm just an AI. I can't identify pitches and I'm like well, you can identify songs and it's like yeah well you use Shazam for that. It's technically possible for me to identify pitches but I've haven't been trained to do that yet and I'm like okay 

Is there an app that can do it? And it's like? Oh yeah sure. Here are some apps that can do it so I went to an app that can do it and it seemed to be fluctuating between two different things D4 and G4. So do I have a cord that doesn't exist that I like the sound of? I don't understand

OK

I think I have identified 

WHY

I at least sometimes have 

SONGS

stuck in my HEAD 

I have this tracker

that has an outline of t*mp

FILLED with 

ORANGE

&

it plays this little jingle

& drops the orange 

to represent 

the percentage of his time as prez is up

I saw that just a few minutes ago 

NOW

I have

I'll see you in September in my HEAD 

in THIS case 

I think it's most of the notes

& SOME of the order

of the notes

FIT 

& my brain is filling in, possibly 

were you LOOKING for THIS

& SOMETIMES 

it's stuff like that

BUT 

the processing time is LONGER 

OR

I wasn't really paying attention to the 

"source material"

because it was RANDOM outside noise

BUT 

SOMETIMES 

it's MESSAGES from

WHEREVER

& the no CONTEXT 

doesn't help

BUT 

I'm GLAD I'm not trying to 

MAKE the September thing a 

MESSAGE

WHEW

dogged a bullet there

🤪😜👽

I was a little concerned 

MAYBE 

you'd like me

LESS

BUT 

the tarot

SAYS 

no, you don't 

& just so you

KNOW 

the full extent of my difficult-ness

if I ever say

TOO MANY VARIABLES 

it MEANS 

I'm using my entire processing ability

on what I'm dealing with 

RIGHT NOW 

& if you say

ANYTHING 

to indicate that you are

STILL 

gonna push it

THEN

you drop my capabilities to handle 

whatever I'm ALREADY handling

by thirty percent 

which must NOW

SUPPRESS 

me from

getting up and walking out

I don't just do a SHAME spiral

like I'm supposed to 

for NOT being ABLE to DO the THING 

I EXTERNALIZED 

THAT sh*t

YEARS

AGO 

good morning sweetheart 💋 

I hope you're having a beautiful day 🫶🫶🫶

I'm NOT trying to make it 

WEIRD 

I'm enjoying 

LEARNING to play 

I'm exhausted 

I hear 

FIREWORKS 

BUT 

I can't see them

I played around with some new chords

BUT 

I'm trying to give my fingers

a little break

SO

no five hours session 

TONIGHT 

BUT 

Db 

Dbm7 

Dm

Fm

Gbm 

G6

Gm7

Gb9

B6

Am7

A9

I have not learned 

BUT 

they ARE good SOUNDS 

SO

I'm gonna play around with them

I really like ukulele 

it's BETTER with my WEIRD finger situation 

in a couple weeks 

I THINK 

I'll be 

SMOOTHER

between chords

I'm MUCH better 

with parts I have memorized

I ALMOST have that first song memorized 

BUT 

there a couple 

BITS

& of course there's memorizing

& FEELING secure

in your memorization 

I WANT 

to make you

PROUD of me

I'm gonna try to sleep 

I LOVE you VERY much sweetheart 💋

👾🫚🍀❤️🔥

LOOK at this 

adorable coffee mug

OH

& it turns out 

I DID record it

I KNEW 

I TRIED 

BUT 

then I couldn't seem to find the video

BUT 

I'm glad I couldn't find it before 

I MIGHT have been

self conscious 

I think

I sound 

sharp

&/or

flat

SHRILL

I FEEL like 

my upper range was

SMOOTH 

when I used to sing in it before 

BUT 

I'm happy with the

STRENGTH

of my voice at that register

VERY happy with THAT

it has been

a LONG ROAD back to THAT

SO

TODAY 

I took an EXTRA 

L-theanine 

& I made myself EAT

even though I didn't WANT to

& EVERYTHING 

has gone SO MUCH BETTER 

I felt WEIRD 

being all 

ALIENATION songs

BUT 

if I'm coming up with stuff FAST

unfortunately 

ALIENATION is a go to

people were

REALLY 

NICE

DOUG

thanked me for sharing 

LISA

told me I have a good voice

WHICH I wasn't 

FEELING 

& it wasn't something 

she had to say

in ANY capacity

I found a cool bookstore 

& a food & kitchen shop next door

this has all been

NOT like

ROLLING off a LOG

BUT 

I THINK 

it's been really good for me 

ALL of it

I don't KNOW if I've been

all that FUN 

to be AROUND 

BUT 

EVERYTHING is 

VERY appreciated 

I GET I'm difficult
