"You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete." - Buckminster Fuller
I've been living here in New Orleans since January, and I'm probably not leaving any time soon. Originally my plans were to leave at the end of June to attend the U.S. Social Forum in Atlanta, but in the end, I decided to skip it. Right now I am just focusing on building a new life for myself and finding some stable ground to build from. New Orleans is a really lonely place in the summer, but it is a good time for planting roots, I am told. I've managed to find myself a job and a place to liv...

I am writing this journal in an attempt to document my efforts at organizing a community music education network in New Orleans. My hope is that by forcing myself to explain this project idea to others, it will help me organize my thoughts and clarify my goals and strategies. This is a project that has gradually been taking shape in my mind over the last three or four years, and my vision for the project has changed over time as my living circumstances have changed and as I've been introduced...

For months now I have been wanting to write in here to give an update on my various music freeskool projects....but words don't come easy to me. I am writing this now out of desperation. Things are starting to go well for me, it is true. I feel like I am firmly connected to my path and that I am exactly where I am supposed to be right now, and I feel closer to a breakthrough than I ever have. But still, there is this persistent lonliness and heartsickeness that I can't escape from. I am writi...

I am writing this from the Capoeira Arts Cafe in Berkeley California. I have finally made it back to the Bay Area, after spending the last week driving across the country with my friend Lena and her friend Lori. We made it to Oakland late last night. And I've spent today walking around town, trying to figure out what the fuck I plan on doing with myself now that I'm back.

(Dammit I've been wanting to write in here for weeks, but haven't been in the right mood at the right time ever. And now finally I'm in a mood to write, and now I'm being told that there is a boycot happening soon to protest censorship on Tribe.net. The boycott is supposed to start at noon, Pacific time. It's 2:27 on the east coast right now, so I have half an hour to write my journal entry. I wouldn't want to be a scab)

You're living for nothing now. I hope you're keeping some kind of record." -Leonard Cohen It has been two months now since I left California. With every day that passes, my life there seems to be more remote and inaccessible. I can feel winter coming. It is becoming clear to me that I may stuck here for longer than I planned. It feels like I'm being challenged to grow in some way....to confront some obstacle that I'... read more 
I just got back from my trip to New York City. I went there planning on staying for only two or three days, but I ended up staying for two weeks instead. I want to write about the experience, but I don't know how. I think I am going to have to write this blog entry in bits and pieces. It is impossible for me to summarize the experience. I don't know what to include and what not to include. So I will probably rewrite this entry a few times over the course of the week.

It is exactly one month since I left Berkeley. I had to come back to Boston to attend two family weddings. A few days after I got home, my cousin Terrence from my mother's side of the family got married in an apple orchard in upstate New Hampshire. And a week after that, my cousin Michael from my dad's side of the family got married in downtown Boston.

I have been back in Boston for two days now. I spent Tuesday afternoon in the basement of Nabolom, packing up the stuff I was taking with me to Boston, and dealing with all the other stuff that I had to leave behind. On Tuesday night I left Berkeley and spent the night in a Days Inn motel near the Oakland Airport. I took with me a large backpack, a dufflebag, an accordian, and a laptop. I hurt my back in the rush to get to the motel. ... read more
Today has been another lonely, frustrating, depressing day. I really want to cry right now, but I don't have any one to cry to. When I get in moods like this, no one wants to be around me. I am at Nabolom right now, getting drunk and getting stoned, and hoping that my mood will improve. I am writing in here now in the hopes that it will help me feel less alone.
