HELLO I AM FOGGY

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 18:27:15 -0500

i will be transmitting messages from the 3 dimensional world of members of the CARDINALS/ ryan is the loneliest so he posts more than anyone. also its why he makes so much stuff. he loves things a lot. maybe too much.

its also why he gets frustrated and sometimes gets so anxious.

he is working on that now that he wrote, painted, and recorded his brains out.

thanks,

FOGGY

FACTS ABOUT ME.
1. I never dated Alanis Morrisette. But she is very nice. But I never even went on a date with her. I met her through Ethan Johns and she was just you know one of the nicest people ever and very inspiring so i thanked her several times on a record I made called GOLD which was over-long and maybe half good.

2. I never dated Winona Ryder, but she is my friend and I will always love her. She is so fucking smart and so fucking under the micro-scope I can’t imagine how she pulled through, but no, I was never her boyfriend. I was and am her friend. She is as hot as the sun in a hot tub on itself though and everybody knows that. Also, who she is as an actress totally inspired me and helped me form what kind of artist I wanted to be.

3. I never KICKED OUT anyone from a concert. The Ryman Auditorium (a shit hole in Nashville) has the balls to charge you for security when you play there but if some college kid, and I mean SOUTHERN college kid decides to get wasted and scream through 7 songs of a solo acoustic performance, they could give a fuck. I went into the audience and handed him what I thought the ticket price was (40 bucks) and asked him to leave. I said “you have successfully ruined this concert so here is your money, now will you go home now so I can at least try and give the rest of this audience what they paid for. It did not work as the woman who runs that shit-hole re-seated him and BELIEVE IT OR NOT people CHEERED when he was ushered to a new seat. As most of that concert were people telling him to “shut up” There was NO BAND just myself, and I was joined by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings (heroic figures to me) to sing a few tunes and still the man screamed over it. In fact, “Summer of 69” was not shouted when I went to ask him to leave. It was in fact something else. He was so drunk, so very very drunk he did not even know he was there.
The writer who wrote it up the next morning submitted it to AP (the Associated Press) in hopes it would bring him a few extra dollars and some exposure. I have suffered since.
I seriously could give six shits about Bryan Adams or that song. In my opinion he is not a serious artist. His songs have ” implied target market audience” written all over them and in fact he is quite embarrassing in general. Also a piss poor photographer. I guess it is kind of amazing he got to stand next to Tina Turner though. She is rather heroic and an obvious artist. In every sense. Also she was kick ass in Mad Max BeyondfThunderdome and I wish I could coddle her in her chain mail in Barter-Town but that place does not exist.

4. I used to take drugs and drink but I never did that when I was wrirting. Very Rarely. I, like most americans, would seek some kind of peaceful bliss after a bone crushing day. I only used speedballs (snorted not shot) at the end of my drug use, which was parallel to my last romance. I am in recovery for both things.

5. I am not catholic nor baptist. I am quietly converting but by the books, to a much older and less mystic religion which seems to respect God as someone to be feared and not understood, as I fear and don’t understand.

6. I have only dated 5 women in my life. I can count on my hands.

7. I used to want to get married. It was such a huge thing for me, to be claimed. To be someone’s someone. Now I don’t care anymore. I hope I die alone and under a lot of work. I am better for myself and other alone.

8. It is almost two years since I have been sober. Awesomeness comes with this but also much rebuilding. I like myself more each day and surprise myself at how open I can be at the same time TERRIBLY shy or fearful of social situations.

9. I hate HATE country music. I always have. I “reference” it when I make music that sounds like that, the way a director would use water as a backdrop for a svcene with a shark in it. But I cannot stand country music one bit. unless the Grateful Dead are messin round with it. Then it is tolerable. But they were much more than their single parts- we all know they were a machine.

10. I never intended to be a songwriter but it was a snowball effect type thing and it pained me to have to play live because I have stage fright. I just wanted to be a writer and a visual artist and in a metal band.
So I hate what I do sometimes.
Playing in the Cardinals made it possible for me to continue because of their (our) ability to collectively change everything constantly.

11. I am going deaf. I am not sure how or why but I am. It has something to do with an inner ear condition caused by a loud frequency. My inner ear wall burst probably in LA at that blue cave show or in SF at that one. Either way, I had a bad feeling about having that guy as a soundman. He asked questions about what to do the day after I had to go to a hospital to be examined for hearing loss.
Fuck.

so there. that is me.

that is who I am.

I just want to make things. meaningful beautiful things before my time here is done and hopefully encourage people to express themselves, not to clutter the world with art, but so because I think people learn about themselves and find deeper meaning when they create things. It just happens. Somewhere down the line a peaceful submission takes over and out of the grounds of thew soul comes the truth.
and it is usually very condensed and beautiful and worth of investigation.

Also Jennifer Aniston has, or did have, (i dunno) an incredible machine by the looks of that ROLLINGSTONE photo-shoot from god knows when. woah.
i mean, wtf?

You have many devices

for your protection

and guidance

Even so,

people make notes

on what you do

Since leaving,

I don’t know

what I’m made of

Please whisper

what I can do

The suspects

keep taunting

Icicles on the library window

At some point

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 14:53:00 -0500

Was it at knifepoint or at some other point

that breathing stopped

taking and giving

stopped

Awareness

stopped?

In this cave where no light

can enter

Two can read meanings

into things

as easily as one

But I’m not the one to

tell you the answer

I can’t carry the day

Or chase praise and prizes

like others do

with ease

No, I’m always outside

the door

looking in

Looking for that connection

that won’t sputter

like a candle

in the spring wind

"I just had a panic attack which is so stupid. really. 33 years old and I still have f’n panic..."

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 22:16:00 -0500

“I just had a panic attack which is so stupid. really. 33 years old and I still have f’n panic attacks. i feel okay now. i think i just needed to crap and also i was really hungry at the same time, which is gross, i know, but you know, that shit happens. woah. why would anyone say this on a blog/
i like this valerian root tea i got at whole foods. it is very chill. like drugs but minus the whole feeling of being on or near drugs, so in fact, nothing like drugs. i guess i am going to go back to making new friends with my house plant Wendy Jeanette Sarah Water-Moccasin Wedge-Foot SmithField,the IIIrd - (the”III” indicates that in fact she came from royalty. corner store royalty. oh her parents were the hit of the week in the foyer of the Smith/Jones household. Until that fateful day, when Cupcake, the english terrier of the household went after their cat, Boo-Boo- and the plant and even the 17th century greek vase (historically impossible..?) came tumbling down down down onto the marble tile.
What a day that was. And on the same day their son, Jupiter Summer Storm Rain lost his keys in his inability to transcend anything but the taste of cardboard in the summer blockbuster he scored from drooling himself into Club 768.9 (which only three people know about and you have to have to go through a secret door in a helicopter to drink there next to Cherry Steppenwolf, who you KNOW is so doing the disco dust….no really, her father said “sure, put the glitter-ball in, hell, even use my old stereo and bong, just don’t go disturbing all those piles of hard won wood-shavings, i mean, if i am gonna smoke cigars down here like your mother doesn’t know i at least have to look like i am making the effort to pretend like she doesnt know i know that she is aware that i am not, just so you know…..he said, as he lit the end of the long brown columbian cigar he bought off e-bay for 235 dollars (it was guaranteed that it was used in the bad ass scene in Armageddon where Will-“Badass my favorite fucking modern actor and role model”- Smith takes down the alien spacecraft and when he gets free of his parachute he sees the alien come up out of the damaged ship, punches said alien in his upper sensory lobe (or head, which is what we would call it but they are not from here) and then, before he kicks back and lights HIS cigar he says “welcome to earth.” i love that scene. i mean, that was a simple little part of dialog and anyone could have messed that up or made it too overboard, but everything WIll Smith does man, he does it full on. He is incredible. I would hope people recognize what a positive force he is on american culture. And his wife is incredible. Powerful and beautiful and dignified. And she just rocked her Matrix role. So awesome. That is a true functional american family and imagine all those stupid pressures that go with that. Jada and Will stay strong. Like a Minor Threat album that never stops. Like a double rainbow. I look to that bond with total hope for humanity. Also they both have major talent AND I mean, the stunts in I AM LEGEND and the MATRIX, that is not easy stuff. If you watch the extra “making-of” dvd that comes with the MATRIX you can see just how hard they worked to get into shape to walk up walls and do back-flips. Keanu, who is another of my favorites ( I mean after Constantine, gimme a break, they should have just stopped making movies for a while and took note….CLASSfuckingIC….I wish they would do more movies in hollywood with WIll Smith, Harry Connick Jr, and Bruce Willis…in like one move. that would be extreme. I would wait on line forever with Wendy my pink houseplant and we would see EVERY prequel which as you know, is such a thrill ride in itself these days what with modern cinema surround-sound and the smell of peoples jackets, you know, the scent of their musty or not musty but sweet apartments or maybe even houses if they live in one of those place right outside manhattan where the REAL new york is (that is what someone said to me once….ha ha ha….i pointed up the avenue to the Empire State Building…..i said “hey, whats that? that sure isn’t Century 21?….” no response. I dont think they could hear me through all those layers of american apparel over-shirts. or was it the raw-food re-breather….ah, you get the point.
….Well I’m pretty much as insane as I can get today so I guess I am off to bed. Goodnight.
