Well Xmas is here, and i am at my parents house with not much to do except revel in a multitude of TV channels which brings me to how much Jaws 3D sucks. This film is a who’s who of who the fuck are these people and why did they never act again (oh yeah because they were in this film). The effects are really really bad, but they were the best 1983 had to offer. The cast list is never ending, and uniformly each performer offers up the worst possible delivery of their lines. The script it self is execrable. So bad.

Thank God its is immediately being by Jaws: The Revenge which is comparatively a tour-de-force. Peace out Lou Gossett Jr. Keep your crap acting.

Okay Taipei.

Worlds Tallest Building-

This is by far the tallest building in the city, and nothing near it gave it any scale, so it wasn’t that impressive.

Novel Hall a tough venue to pull off a dance in. So I went out a couple of nights.

Sunday night post strike went to
Riverside Side Live House

Saw “Rose Fighting”. A pretty horrendous Taiwan pop band, consisting of singer/keyboardist, sampler, drummer, and bassist. Loose, sloppy and very little musical talent. Also the Taiwanese seem to appreciate music differently than we do.

Later went to the wall for the last 5 minutes ofRule Yell. The both Yelled and Ruled.

I write from Asia, specifically A small town in Taiwan called Chiayi. Justed did a show. My touring girlfirend with whom i both work about 12 to 16 hours a day with dumped me with little explanation 3 weeks ago today. So as i am often fond of saying “the road is a lonely place”.

So life sucks a bit, but i have seen some shit. I did manage to get to a thai temple in bangkok, and drop some fairly serious cash in hong kong between sulks. I have also done some seriously crazy crap, but that was mostly in the first week, though i think the most self destructive moments have now passed. Now it’s a jumble of more sulking, incomprehensible asian tv, cnn, the crappy version of the cartoon network that they have here in asia, plus more long hours with a person who now seems very much a stranger despite that we were once very much not.

So, new camera means more pics.

Okay. here’s the skinny on greece.
hot, dry, old. The hots and a dry is nice, but the old is what’s really cool.

It’s a little back wards when it comes to the web access in Europe so i was slightly out of touch. The charge you for internet every where you go. Which is crap.

I do enjoy countries where they tend to siesta in the afternoons, though. After athens (pictured above we went to rhodes where things were very disorganized. From my own empirical observation the greek decision making apparatus works some thing like this.
1. Gather about 4 to 8 country men.
2. find a really basic and expected problem that everyone knew about well in advance.
3. Freak out.
4. Everyone talk at once.
5. If some one is speaking louder than you, raise your voice.
6. Repeat.
7. eventually some one else will make a decision and start doing something about it.

This is actually a lot like the Cuban decision making apparatus, but things sound funnier and are more stressful in languages you don’t understand. (Now i know how whitey must feel around my family).

Anyway- They cancelled a day of work which was terrible because we needed it, but awesome because rhodes is beautiful.

That’s is all.

holy crap. In the back of a cab actually. Just parted ways with a lady friend. And headed to queens to organize some shit before blowing out the door for athens. In the background another failing relationship being forced toward the cliffs of breakup by yours truly a frenzied neutrotic stage coach driver who only knows how to whip stallions and mares alike into a mouth foaming frenzy. Oh and in two weeks i move in with to of my closest friends from high school. Oh and in 91 days i turn 30. Fuck.
