dear Jesus.

I know I don’t talk to you nearly as much as I should and at this particular moment, I should have something better to request [read: world peace, all vegans shot, Arrested Development brought back to television], but if you could give me 1/1000th of this man’s eye/creativity, I would promise to do something really, really nice for you.

promise.

ever have something mean the world to you and break your heart at the same time?

I did.

this note from my best friend, Scott.

-

and btw, probably not even possible but you know I gotta ask you

anyway.  I’d be ever so honored if you’d be my best man September

13th.  Also no pressure as you’re on the other side of the world and

have some pretty special circumstances with travel to china.  I just

needed to ask you anyway, bro.

S

so, there’s this boat.

it ain’t a big boat.

but it’s enough for 4 people.

I’m one of those 4.

so is she.

a few others.

we’re going to France.

it ain’t a long way.

over to France.

but it’s exciting just the same.

a little scary.

but mostly exciting.

I hope to see Mt. Saint Michel.

it was the first picture I saw that made me want to travel.

you can ask my French teacher, she  showed it to me.

she wouldn’t show me her phone number, but I wasn’t the only one who asked.

so yes, Mt. Saint Michel.

thank you Miss Garcon.

I’m sure you finally have your phone number to someone.

most likely not a high-school student.

but if you did, we’ll all be mad.

not too mad though, ’cause you showed me that picture.

and in a few days, I’ll see it for myself.

so. it’s on.

the ‘charitable rough sundays’ is up.

it’s not the best show, nor is it the music which I built it around, but still…

and, as mentioned, I’m 25% of the way to L.A. with the sponsorships.

soooooooooo, if you were thinking about using that money for drugs or cake or something else that is certainly not good for you, how about a sponsorship?

it’s $45, which works out to pennies a day…as long as you’re looking at a rather large number of days.

and if you can’t - send me some good vibes.

[not that I'm not surrounded by them already]

if the pixels could fade

the same as ink romantically does

my top-right screen would need

a superglued-wristwatch

from here to there

there back to where I wait

it’s told me where you were

and also helped count down

till you walk through those gates

[but not the ones old people do]

and I can come back

with you sitting right here

touch that top-right once more

and finally click the bottom option

that’s stared at me for what seems like so long.

can I tell you a quick story?

it’s rather an absurd one.

see, I came to Europe to try out a new project.

I won’t bore you with the details, but it was a cool project.

before flying over here, I stopped into NYC, where a friend of mine - who I’d never met in person - was visiting from L.A..

I ended up falling for this girl.

[she's sitting right here]

and am going to fly back with here to L.A.., help her pack her life there and then go to NYC, where she’ll live.

as will I.

but I didn’t exactly plan for this.

meaning I have to save up some pennies for the flight.

which means I have to raise some more sponsorships for ‘rough sundays’.

20, in fact.

at $45, same as we did before.

I’ll release this information on this week’s show.

but just know that if you have a charity [besides me], or a business you want to promote, or - well, whatever.

it’d be put to good use.

[she's sitting right here]

update!!!
