I was told once by a dear friend he was in love with the place I was from. This was back when I had only written one song, it was about the first girl I ever kissed, her name was "the shine". I can't exactly remember how old we were at the time, I think our ages together it was less than thirty, but my recollection of the smells, sights and feelings are as clear as blood is red. This friend of mine, I sometimes think of him as an old man, because he always aspires to be old- it's a funny concept. He's like a brother to me, I call him my brother sometimes ... but he started it. Anyway, connections to people that go back that far are somehow sacred like an ancient hieroglyph. We got into an argument - had a misunderstanding. We all make mistakes in life sometimes you drift away from the people that mean the most to you. The thing is you can't make anyone do anything. Everyone makes their own choices. I told him that one day when he tried to blame me for making him wait around. - Don't know if he remembers but I said something like "You can do what you want - I don't make you do anything." He said something like, "You're right." And then he left. We're still friends. Sometimes he's the Tyler Durden, sometimes I'm the Tyler Durden. Sometimes we're not as good of friends to each other as we should be, but we try. It's a two way street. These mistakes they change the dynamic, we don't sit around all afternoon on the window sill, listening to Snoop Dogg, Cracker, Beck and the Grateful Dead. We don't hang out at the bowling alley and play Street Fighter II all day, and we don't try to hustle tourists at the pool table. This last time, I'm sorry, it was my fault. It's happened before, it'll happen again. Really its the people that we are closest to that matter.
