so along with my hipster PDA, i’ve been a big fan of Moleskine notebooks over the years.

i’ve used all sorts of sizes and styles.

however, the smaller hardbacks like this always seem to capture my imagination.  i’ve got 8 previous ones filled up with notes, stories, rants, poetry, etc over the last 5 or so years.  not too shabby considering they are about 200 pages.

i really got into the Moleskines while teaching 8th grade.  there was something cathartic to writing in them.

i’m back to using them heavily now.  missed them.  don’t know why i ever stopped using them, really… but it’s always great to look back months and years ago and see what was going through my head and heart.

i’m loving ryan adams’ blog these days b/c we (seem to) share a similar sentiment that “everybody wants to go on forever, but i just want to burn out all hot and bright." 

seriously, the best blogs or experiences are those with endings. ze frank’s the show was epic b/c we all knew it would end in a year.  we purchased the feeling. timeless.  people don’t get that.

ryan will kill this thing anyday now. and that’s what makes it so fucking sweet (sorry jangro).

go enjoy now while he’s making the next record, a ton of amazing posts and some downright kickass videos.

“This is from Kim Stanley Robinson’s short story Mercurial, which isn’t really about the city at all although it plays a large part. It’s a detective story about an art collector on Mercury. With this city, resistance to the motive force is used to generate large amounts of electricity. The city slides round the entire planet, slowly, again and again. They sell the electricity to other planets.”
