trying hungry hours
Even though I am not hungry when I get up, I try to eat to get me ready for the day. Within an hour of getting up.
war anti-war truth-is
The truth is an anti-war statement in itself.
writing opportunity long
The opportunity to write for the 'L.A. Weekly' has been one of the better breaks that has come my way in a long time.
struggle writing water
From those who agonize that they may no longer be able to write off their private jet to someone who doesn't feel like making the three mile hike to the well to get water and carry it back, everyone struggles.
book seems
'The Great Gatsby' is a book I have read a few times, and it seems to get heavier every time I come to visit.
space effort obscure
I tend to gravitate to the darkest or most obscure part of any venue in an effort to have my own space to experience the music on my own, free from unwanted conversations and other distractions.
party people tea
People will remember that the Tea Party was co-opted and funded by billion-dollar corporations, and that it was supported by Fox News and other outlets with the same vigor with which they attempt to denigrate the Occupy protesters.
book naked volume
With a book, there's no volume to turn up. You're very naked with a book.
college hands water
In my bright, utopian future world, they will hand out college educations like cups of water at the end of the L.A. Marathon.
cities los-angeles residents
We city dwellers, we residents of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, are for the most part urbanized to some extent. We know deadlines, start times and traffic.
rain games cities
I do a lot of walking around in game parks, rain forests, places like that, but it's not like I'm camping in them as much as my day walks. I've done that all over the world, not like with a backpack on my back living out in the woods for several days. When I travel abroad, it's more the city that captures my interest.
real independent views
There is a lot to say about what Bikini Kill and other 'riot grrrl' bands were able to achieve when they first set out. They were not some momentary, convulsive, creative spasm of independent music. There was a very real, relevant point of view being expressed.
school lunch-break people
Like a lot of inwardly drawn young people, I spent a lot of time in libraries. At my high school, I often spent my lunch breaks there.
fans able musician
Sometimes when you meet a musician you are a fan of, and he or she isn't the friendliest person, you walk away from the experience wondering if you will ever be able to listen to their music again.
