joey speaks

hey everbody-
so i figured since i do check this page pretty regularly but never contribute or even really comment on stuff, i might as well write a little bit and tell ya all what i been up to and whatnot, which is quite a bit of very little, so this'll probably be short.
anayways. so as you all know ive been unemployed since precisely thanksgiving day. and as you all know ive been un-in-school since about may 2006. so im quite free at this time to live and do what and how i please. thanks solely to dad being so gracious with this sweet comfortable warm well-lit extra room and all the kickass food in his fridge. and in the cupboards and on the counter. so in my subtle way im saying thank you dad...also thanks to heather and mom and darin at their house lettin me hang out and eat their sourdough bread and drink their purple. thanks to you guys too. it rules. ill be gettin me a job probably next month because a tax return check can only go so far...so ill be outta yer hair soon and ill be back to eating subway two out of three meals a day.
so basically im very free to do whatever i wish with my days and my nites. and thats almost a bit overwhelming. so sometimes i get confused and stick to my old ways and sit in the dark watching the office on my computer and drinking sodas and eatin carrots. but mostly ive been doing more productive things, productive not necessarily in a sense that involves having something tangible to show for my time spent, or money wise or anything like that. but i been writing lots of songs and recording them, which are all posted on my myspace account if anyone feels like checkin em out and seein what i been thinkin about and writing about lately if ya feel like it. also something ive been doing a lot of lately is ridin my bike around this warm sunny mountain town. its amazing. i feel so good about the world and the sky and the wise old pines and my own legs when i pedal myself for miles and miles and breathe the calm sunlite and watch the birds all from my modernday horseback. i love it, my bicycle. my favorite ride of late is to take the bike trail from the bus station up to the bridge which crosses over the freeway right before apple cafe. i like to sit up there straddling the middle of the highway and face east, listen to music and read and think and write and whatnot, its very pleasant altogether. also the bike trail goes a few miles further where things get quieter and i like to do that a lot as well, up past sweet rusty paintchipped little farmhouses and horse pastures and suchlike. its been very warm and beautiful the last few days so its perfect. everyone should get a bike, or ride the one youve got more often. thats joeys educated recommendation.
so i wanna thank darin and heather for gettin me The Road by cormac mccarthy for christmas, because that also kindled an of-late obsession. which is with cormac mccarthy. everyone should read the road. its a real downer, but only if you simply read the words and no further. its an incredible inspiring story. addie might not like it, since she likes redeeming endings and such, but id say give it a chance sweet sister of mine and you might take something important away from it. im now reading All The Pretty Horses. its absolutely amazingly written. he has such a gloomy appreciation for the gloom in the world. the gloom in vast nature, in the darkness and beauty of darkness. in melancholy joy. everyone should read something by him. and of course im excited to read no country for old men, next probably, because of the f***ing perfect film the book became. did everyone see it? DO! basically he writes the gloomy sadness of prarie perfection and cowboy blues and lonely beauty watching the world and wind and sky and animals and grass tilting in the magnificent air. he writes words like i want to write music. he writes words like i want to live my life. everyone read him.
umm so me and eddy been hanging out a lot. and thats basically it. i see mama and pops and heather and darin and other than that i spend most of my time pretty much alone. but not in a bad way, because i know certain people like mom are gonna read way deep into my previous statement and think im manicdepressive or somesuch fabrication of the mind's endless depths and tunnels and traintracks but really i like it this way a lot. i like to spend lots of time alone or with my sweet little brother eddy, edrigal, little ed. and its NOT spelled EDDIE. its EDDY. everyone keep that in mind. dad made a frickin label for his catbox which says "Eddy La Pew" and taped it to the front of it. Dad's always been the king of cheese. but its loved and appreciated by all. and im excited for emily to move back to placerville which she is doing in a couple weeks, march 1st about, and im gonna fly down to help her move with her mama and her and its gonna be fun and then i'll have a friend to hang out with. so thats way cool. and yes im very happy with her and lifes never been better for little joey.

umm basically ive been really loving all beautiful natural happy wonderful things in this life and in this world and about the few people who reallymatter to me and im really happy so right on life is great. and i cant wait to go to utah because i just watched jeremiah johnson and its really makin me yearn for that type of country. along with a slew of other reasons to be excited to go to utahr. and happy birthday mikie soon. anyways hope everythings good with everyone else and i love you all goodbye goodbye goodbye maybe watch tim and eric or the office if youre feelin down because it always helps me PEACE OUT
