When I was 12 years old, I thought that pot was some faraway fantasy that would never cross my path in a million years. Then I slowly began to realize that the people that I'd always counted on to be so straight laced and honorable weren't really the way that I thought. I learned that my best friend in the entire world smoked pot almost every weekend, and that some of my good friends got drunk and did cocaine at raging parties every night. Yet, these people were not cracked out drug addicts, they were normal people, who led normal lives, got normal grades, and had normal families. I thought that my perfect little city world would never be breached by such evils. I can't imagine how naive I used to be.

Flash forward to 2007: I have since dated 3 of these supposed druggies and found them to be quite lovely human beings, though mixed up with the wrong set. And everyday I find out that old people from my past were so different than I experienced them through my little prude, teenage eyes. People may surprise you, in many, many ways.

I have no idea if any of that makes sense...recovering from heat stroke.

Yay!! Now that I actually have people reading my journal, I can do these things and something might actually happen! I have no idea where I got some of these so....good luck :D

The deal is, put your iTunes on shuffle and copy your favorite line of each song that plays.


1. I run my hands down your neck, across your back to another fret

2. Love is a burning thing, and it makes a firey ring

3. You think my up and leave is something I'm gonna do, feel my chest when I look at you

4. Things may not go as you planned, dark clouds might bring you pain, but I will be in your heart still

5. I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line, and let the 2:19 ease my troubled mind

6. We are the innovators, they are the limiators

7. One more chain I break, to get me closer to you

8. I refuse to believe that my life's gonna be, just some string of incompletes, never to lead me to anything remotely close to my home life

9. Like a stone I fall into your eyes, keep into some mystery, keep into that mystery

10. I know it's wrong to leave you so alone, I know it's wrong to be so far from home

11. Real, real like a plastic bouquet, that thrives on the smoke from an old fireplace and dies every night with her face on the news

12. You know I'm free, free now baby, I'm free from your spell

13. Now we're standing facing west, tracing my fingers round a silhouette I haven't gotten used to yet, but it's the brightest thing I've got

14. May our minds lose the battle and may our hearts win the war

15. Good to go for wherever I'm needed, bags are packed and I'm down by the door, you can take all the tricks up my sleeve I don't need them anymore

16. Life is not a play it's what we make of the people we love

17. Love can mend your life but love can break your heart

18. When only music is the answer, every living being is a dancer

19. there ain't nobody who can show you how to find the surface when you're underground, there ain't no blanket that can hide this cold

20. our love was strange in a strange land, we got broken wings we were bound to fall, until the sun comes up you can hold my hand

I'm watching Willy Wonka :D and it's moved me to write. I'm talking the REAL Willy Wonka, not the new one with Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore (thought that one is good in its own special way). You gotta love Gene Wilder and Peter Ostrum (where did he go, by the way?). Though I never realized it before, this is my absolute favorite movie of all time. Sure it's old, sure there are some inconsistencies and flubs, but it's a cinematic piece of art.

I love how, even though we have no idea what the candy tastes like, every single time someone pulls out just the wrapper of any of the Wonka candy, I immediately think, "That looks SO good." Like the Scrumdidlyumptious bar in the beginning with the little kid with the black hair. I would give my right arm to have one of those...just the way the wrapper looks...and the sound it makes when Charlie bites into it once he buys one. And of course, once they get into the factory, everything is a tasty explosion!! Someone was a real genius when they put this thing together.

The comedy is good-natured and wholesome, something that never happens in movies now. And when I was younger, i even missed most of the jokes, but when you really think about it, it's HILARIOUS! I mean, the guy with the computer that's supposed to find the location of the golden ticket is and it tells him that it wouldn't because that would be cheating. Where IS that guy?? He's hilarious!! And the news reporter. And the teacher....all great characters.

And the music!! It's like a candy store of sounds and words. So maybe now everything is all computerized and lyrics are made to be clever....call me crazy, but I LOVE this good old-fashioned music with the heavy strings and the corny lyrics. "Candy Man" and "Pure Imagination" are my absolute favorites. The candy store man is my absolute favorite character behind Willy Wonka. That song makes me believe that dreams are possible :P. "Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew...cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two..."

I find the strangest things about the movie that are so exciting! The costumes are perfect. Even the little mints that Veruca's dad gives to Veruca's mom intrigue me. And speaking of Veruca....

I know that Roald Dahl was the one who came up with the characters, but this cast is the definitive version of each one. Violet is spot on! Veruca is the best spoiled brat I've ever seen. Mike TV is humorously jaded. Augustus is the perfect fat boy. And Charlie, of course is the sweetest, humblest, most adorable little boy (though Freddie Highmore is cute). The grandparents, the mother, the candy store man, and OF COURSE Willy Wonka! This casting director should be praised as a genius.

So, in short, Willy Wonka is the best movie ever. I'll leave you with a little something...


Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
the candy man...
the candy man can...
The candy man can cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good
and the world tastes good, cause the candy man thinks it should

I like that title better than "Quiet"
It's so sad that this is the anthem of my life as of late.


"A Lullaby For the Neurotic"
by John Mayer


Midnight, lock all the doors
and turn out the light
feels like the end of the world
this sunday night.

There's not a sound
outside the snow's coming down
somehow, I can't seem to find
the quiet inside my mind.

3:02, the space in this room
has turned on me
all my fears, have cornered me here
me and my TV screen.

the volume's down (my favorite part is in the AS/IS version when DRH goes "Woho" righ there...for some reason, just gets me)
blue lights are dancing around
but still, I can't seem to find
the quiet inside my mind.

daylight is climbing the walls
cars start and feet walk the halls
the world awakes and now I am safe
at least by the light of day
at least by the light of day...



*sigh*

Today, I went to the therapist. Oh yes...I said therapist. No one here would know, but my parents have been dragging me to therapists against my will since I was 8 (my mother had Post-Pardum (Spelling) depression so they figured it had affected me in some way) and generally, they are the bane of my existence, but this time I went on my own. I think I might have ADD, that's actually the point of my appointments (get it?!) but before we go into the testing, each new therapist needs a history...of course.
So today we talked about my "quarter life crisis" yes, I used that in my session and she had no idea it was a Mayer lyric. But it so describes what happened to me, that I feel like it's my own. In fact, that whole song is so me, I feel like I wrote it. Of course, I'm not as talented as the Mayer, but it just...it's completely SPOT ON. I used to cry when I heard the beginning of that song...just because I got it so much.
Anyway, I told her how the crisis was spurred by me discovering amazing music and deciding that I wanted to make music for my life, but then having a mental battle over what was smart. I told her that music completely consumed me, I felt invaded by these lyrics that were so right...these melodies that were so enchanting...and she asked me if I could tell her a lyric that really summed me up at that moment.
Can I tell her a lyric?
Can I tell her a LYRIC?
I could give her an encyclopedia of lyrics that completely sum me up. I love reading lyrics, or hearing lyrics and going, "that's so me." but this is what I told her.

"Cause I wonder sometimes about the outcome of a still verdictless life. Am I living it right?"

"So what, so I've got a smile on, but it's hiding the quiet superstitions in my head."

I told her that if she wanted to get what I went through completely, no questions asked, no holes barred, just...SPOT ON exactly what I felt...to go out and listen to "Why Georgia" by John Mayer. I hope she does. It will be the closest anyone's ever come to getting me.

Tonight, I told my dad exactly what I think of him. I love my dad, he gives me great advice most of the time, and he's usually very kind and much more receptive than my mom, but today I had to tell him. We were at the grocery store and the girl ringing us up was a bit tired, a bit uninterested (it was 9 o'clock on a Tuesday night) and wasn't OVERLY pleasant towards us. Now, we live in LA, I accept this as a fact. Who cares if the girl ringing you up at the Ralphs is a little bit bored with it all. But i just KNEW that my dad, having worked at a grocery store to pay his way through dental school, was going to make a comment. He said, "Don't ever yawn in a customers face...god the way that people do their jobs these days."
And i told him off. I told him that maybe "Marguerita" had been working since 5 in the morning. Maybe she worked as a maid somewhere downtown for 6 hours and then hopped a bus crosstown in the beastly hot weather, stuffed next to a babbling fat guy and a pole. Maybe she was going to be working until midnight...or maybe not. Point is, my dad always looks down his nose at other people, even if he doesn't realize that he's doing it.
It felt kind of good. I love my dad, but he's not perfect, and sometimes, he needs to know it.

I'm sort of in love with this song for no apparent reason.

No Lies, Just Love


Bright Eyes


It was in the march of the winter
I turned 17
That i bought those pills
I thought I would need
and I wrote a letter
to my family
said it's not your fault
And you've been good to me
just lately I've been feeling
like I don't belong
like the ground's not mine
to walk upon
and i've heard that music
echo through the house
where my grandmother drank
by herself
and I sat watching a flower
as it was withering
I was embarrassed by
its honesty
So I'd prefer to be remembered
as a smiling face
not this fucking wreck
that's taken its place.

I wrote this for a baby
who has yet to be born
my brother's first child
I hope that womb's not too warm
cause it's cold out here
and it will be quite a shock
to breathe this air
to discover loss
so I'd like to make some changes
before you arrive
so when your new eyes meet mine
they won't see no lies.

Just love.
I will be pure,
No, no, I know I will be pure
Like snow
Like gold

I'm not the emo, suicide type of song, and usually I feel that Bright Eyes lyrics are just some kind of unreachable pinnacle of things I will never understand but like to watch from afar...and even though I've never had suicidal thoughts and my life is pretty much good all around...for some reason this song really touches me.

Hope it touches someone else as well.

You act as if I asked to break your heart
but that simply isn't true.
in fact, if I could
I'd put it back together
and give it right back to you.
but unfortunately,
there's no amount of glue
or hammer and nail
is going to fix
what I did to you.

Enjoy



(Talking about looking through your phone book on your cell) "They suck, they're sleeping, they're sleeping, nah, nope, they suck... then you pick the one that sucks the least and call them. They'll do for now."

"This is a song about lies and cheating and espianoge... just kidding." (before You're Body Is A Wonderland)

"Before i sing this next song i'd like to discuss a very serious topic. i fucking LOVE porno!.
"Who needs prozac when you've got Arizona Iced Tea?"
"Let me just get this off my chest... I f*cking love porno!" then went into a big speech about how little boys should find they're first porno and the internet is ruining it. He suggested everyone go out and buy a Hustler, roll it in the dirt, and plant it in the back of some elementary school to promote the real way to find porn.


"You know when you buy a 12 inch sub, and you can't eat it all? 6 inches is too small... 12 too big. When you measure the uneaten sub it comes out to about 3 inches. They should make 9 inch subs. 9 is the new 12"

"My phone never rings...its just has the low battery sound."

"Don't you hate that f**cking voice mail lady? I want to beat the s**t out of her."

"This is the finest city on the tour so far....lots of fine girls. I bet it's great to be a milkman in the state of Kansas. There's probably a waiting list to be a UPS guy in Kansas. If there is, I think I'll change jobs."

Right before playing "Come Back To Bed", "First time you ask her whats wrong.. 'nothing'. and then the second time you ask her she says 'nothing' and then the third time 'nothing'. and you know its not over yet because its only 2 am and this shit is gonna last till 4"

"Forget Charley, watch out for hurricane Johnny! You know, everybody loves the hurricane cause its not terrorism. It's not blowin shit up, its just blowin shit over...with water! Even the newscasters can't get enough of it, they're like 'stay tuned for the new pictures of all the stuff the water blew over!'"

"Ok since almost all of the songs I've played so far have been about love your probably wondering what is wrong with me. For the most part I need a girlfriend or something. I cry when I see couples, and I'm not sure if any of you have seen this commercial but There is that one Coke commercial where the guy is talking and he is like 'When I first met her she had the most gorgous panties I had ever seen, but now, when I look in the hamper, her panties look like my mothers'. That is the grossest thing ever but I started crying cause I want that. Sometimes when I'm not on tour I will watch my friend's pets, at least then I have some company. I just really want a hot girl's company!!"
After messing up one of his songs John said "How f***ing stupid am I? I can't remember the words to my own songs, yet I can remember every video game song ever!?!?!" Then he played The Super Mario Brothers Theme song.

"I wrote most of these songs in my alone in my underwhere."
"Wow, you sing like angels" - after the audience sang along with him to a song

"You know...when you get that thing where a bit of snot comes out of your nose...and it feels like it's down here (points to upper lip) but in reality, it's really still up there (points to nose). You know what I mean? You can get a bunch of crusty junk up there in the lower nose area and no one would ever see. Well, 90% of the time the snot just ends up there. The only reason I bring this up is that that happened to me...just now, when I was singing the third line of that last song. Did any of you see it?"

"This morning I was awaken only byt the urgent need to pee.. may you have many more days like that this summer."

When talking about the havoc wrecked on the diaphragm when performing in such a high altitude, John said "What the hell. Jesus is my oxygen tank!" - When introducing Your Body is a wonderland: "This song is the reason I can't go into bars anymore."
"Some guys use this song to seal the deal, but I never have." right before singing "Your Body Is A Wonderland."
"I wrote this song in my underwear for no one." (Talking about "Your Body Is A Wonderland")

"Hey I'm not wearing any underwear!" Crowd screams, John shows a little of his boxers and says "haha, I was just lying, these balls are dry"


"Ya know I don't get to say this enough but, I have a new album coming out soon. And we sent it to a lab to see if there was any suck on it and after 36 hours of testing, it suck-free!"

Right before playing "Comfortable" for his encore: "I haven't played this song in a long time, but I really wanna play it tonight, so even if I mess up just pretend I'm still the coolest motherfucker around!"

"When I stop singing from the heart, I don't know...I guess I'll write jingles (starts to sing) Tampons...Ohh Tampons."

"I'm glad you can sit here with me and listen to my bullshit. Oh, I'm sorry to the parents out there for saying bullshit. But you know what? It's my fucking show."
"I want everyone to put their thumb and forefinger together and measure my head. If your fingers are actually touching, I want to thank you for coming."


"I usually don't sing happy birthday but it's kind of hard to ignore the big pink sign infront of me, so happy birthday Jocelyn. You know I don't wanna become like Fridays where I come out and sing happy birthday and Dave and I start smakin eachothers asses."
"Okay, lets play what was John thinking during 'No Such Thing'. I was thinking about message boards. I usually don't go on message boards. I'm really a porn affcionado. At least it's consistant." John after messing up on "No Such Thing"


» Knoxville, TX (Credit: Amanda & Maureen)
Just before singing No Such Thing, "You see, when you write a song that a lot of people know, you can ramble on about anything before you start to play it. Like right now I could discuss feline herpes with you, and nobody would care."
"So I had a dream last night where all I did was drink chocolate milk. And then I woke up this morning and I really f***in' wanted some chocolate milk. So we get here today and NO S*** theres like 3 gallons of milk on the lunch table next to this jumbo sized Hershey's chocolate jug. So I drank like a gallon. That's why I'm so f***ing happy tonight. CHOCOLATE MILK ROCKS!!" John later came out for the encore with a cup of milk, a hershey's bottle and a spoon mixing himself some chocolate milk.

"Thank you all so so much for coming. And hey, you guys (points to the lawn section) that are watching me on these screens, not onstage? Thank you guys even more. But hey, maybe act a little sooner next time, hmm?"


» Marysville, CA 7/14/04 (Credit: Jacqueline)
Between songs, someone yelled out "We love you John!" and he said "I love you too...women!"

During Homelife before he sings "I can tell you this much, I will marry just once..." he said, "this is the truth!"

"I brushed my teeth right before I came out on stage. I'm a big tooth guy. I want my breath minty fresh. It feels like I'm on a date."
"Osaka, Japan, say hellow to Dela!" Then after the next song he said, "Being on the road can be rough and tumble, and someone backstage just informed me that this isn't Osaka, Japan - we're in Indianapolis!"
"Much respect to the lawnies."

John introducing 'Bigger Than My Body', "Even if you know what you want to do with your life, there is no next day delivery service for it"


» Indianapolis, IN (Credit: Melissa)
The concert took place in the pouring rain. "You know, the only difference with being in the rain is that it hurts a hell of a lot more when you get your ass slapped."

"Is it hot here? Yes you bastard, we live here"


» Philidelphia, PA (Credit: Aviva)
At the end, John wished everyone a happy Thanksgiving and said, "I hope you're in love. If not, I hope you're faking it awesome."


» Pittsburgh, PA
"We'll have lots of beautiful babies." At the end of the encore.
"I shit you not. That man was Martin Sexton." Talking about singers who inspire him.
"Now that's f***ing teamwork." After the audience had sung a full verse to "No Such Thing" by themselves.
"Every guy wants a girl and a relationship with f***in' real trust. So much trust that I could call her up and be like, 'there was some hot ass in the audience today' and she'll be like 'oh yeah?' and I'll be like 'oooooh yes'. Every guy wants a girl that can appriciate hot ass." Right before singing "Love Song For No One"
"There are some really beautiful girls in the front row tonight. But they're young. They're young." Two girls throw their bras at John - "And very well developed, too!"

After seeing a billboard for Cumberland Farms, John said "15 years ago, me and my brother, Ben, used to walk to Cumberland Farms and get those, uh, bubblegum candy cigarettes and pretend we were high. I guess now people smoke weed. ...And they still pretend they're high..."

"Has a girl ever shut you out of her life and you start to envy the inanimate objects in her life, like a hairbrush, it gets to touch her, but you don't"

"I feel tired, but happy, really happy, It's like I've just had sex"

"The encore is just an excuse for all the pussies here to leave early so they dont get caught in traffic...shit i think I just called half of the paying customers pussies..oh well"

» San Diego, CA (Credit: Nicki)
(Making fun of Maroon5) She will be loved..and she will be loved...but first she'll be highly medicated and then she will be loved..."

"Oh good, I've been using toothpaste, actually" after a fan handed him a bottle of massage oil.

"I appreciate your enthusiasm Saratoga, but that's, that's a lot of words", after Johns guitarist suggested the crowd sing the chorus to "shining star"
"So lately I've had some interviewers ask me when I started to play blues, and I would say when do I play blues? and they would go on about how come back to bed is a blues song..No it's not, Bitch this is a blues song!" Breaks into a 5 minutes blues solo


"It's nice to look at all these beautiful girls and think to myself 'hey! I'm not gay!' "


» Sydney, Australia 4/17/04 (Credit: Mya)
Looking into the audience and how far up the crowd went he asked "aren't you guys scared sitting that far up? You can touch the ceiling"... then being cheeky added "even my balls are lifting up in my sack just looking up that far"!

Right before "No Such Thing", "I dedicate this song to myself...the coolest motherf**cker from Fairfield, Connecticut."


» Waltham, MA (Credit: Memtree)
A fan screams "I want your babies" JM: "You realise, that's what I'm talking about! You got a girl, she's probably gorgeous screaming "I want your babies". I promise you if I was standing in front of you...sporting the condom right in front of you...like this...and I was like "ok, let's do it", you'd totally run away and you'd tell all your friends I was just a bastard. I'm telling you, you don't want my babies. There's sex involvement in there. Now think about the point A to the point B, to the point C section."

"Between every song I keep looking down and thinking 'shit I should tie my shoe!' but you know I'm not gonna because I dont wanna stop the momentum, I gotta keep the pace, i mean i shouldn't even be talking about tying shoes, it has nothing to do with playing a rock show! But you know I like it, I like it, left shoe untied...it's sexy."

"Sometimes I think I'm like a woman or something. You know all PMSy and shit. You know, when you're just not interested in sex for like 3 weeks at a time, and it's like here's a napkin, draw me a picture cause I just don't get it. And I just had that for the last 3 weeks or so, and I just wanted to let everyone know.... I'm back"

"And then you always dream about being famous. My dream was like, I would go to the mall and be too famous I'm going to have to leave...but now, you're never too famous. You're like a little bit famous, to like one person. And for everyone one person who knows me, there's like 10 who don't. So it's really embarrassing when someone comes up to you, there's like 4 more people behind going like (imitates a female) 'Who is he?' That is so weird! You see, 'Call the kids, find out who he is!' Then they come up 'Who are you? I saw the kids, they were going crazy! Who are you?'...It's so uncomfortable, it's like 'Nobody! I'm Jason Mraz, move on'"

They asked him if it is true that he signs things "your body is a taco stand" He said that is true, he has never autographed anything "your body is a wonderland". "You wanna know why, you wanna know why, you wanna know why? Because John Mayer ain't no BITCH".

About Top Gun: "There was a shadowy tongue kiss that, as a kid, gave me a tingly feeling, and I didn't know what it was. I still don't - what was it?"

"Most girls who scream 'i love you I wanna have your baby' are screaming that in a more recreational, kinda like sportsman spectator way, and if you were like 'i don't have a condom,' you know, they'd run."

John on ambition- "I've had that feeling with me my whole life, that feeling of 'I'll show you.'

"[My fans] are probably the people who had to bounce around to a couple of different lunch tables before they found one they could sit at. Not because they were strange, but because they were just a little ahead of their time. And I'm onstage being paid to tell him, "It's OK, I'm with you."

"I'm looking for my ideal soul mate. That is somebody who is confident enought to feel love at a moment when love is not being given. A lot of times, I feel like I'm on the road to support a family I don't even have yet. I don't have to tour as much as I do, but I want to for that future family."

Still, the currently single crooner admits he has a short attention span when it comes to romance. "If Ritalin would make me love the same girl for a long time, point me to the nearest CVS."

I'm very much on a roll with this story, and I figured that it's doing no good waiting in a Word document on my computer without anyone to share it with....
