Bright Sun: Deep Shadow

I give up! I give up! I give up! I give up!

This always happens this time of year!

Autumn.

Autumn is happening again and this time it's in Los Angeles. I can safely say this is my first autumn in Los Angeles. I usually try to be somewhere ... witchy as October sets in. Somewhere where the things I feel like doing are right outside your back door. In the woods. Oh, how dark an autumn woods can be.

But this year autumn's in Los Angeles and something is in bloom again. Oh, devil, it is violently seductive and holds instant access to whatyourelookingfor. I live in a city of 3.8 million people proper, and I smell fantasy in bloom every season. I am hypnotized and I remember turning on my window shield wipers tonite. It has been since February since it rained last. Not that what I swished off my goggles was rain, mind you. More like mist. But enough of it to need one window shield swipe. And then it was over. It rained in LA in autumn tonite.

I detect a pattern emerging. Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't see it, though I try to keep insightful. Here it is: everytime I go to the drum and bass club I come home and write the shit out of my head because I am so high. High for three days from Technical Itch pulled off the stage, ending with the brownest bump of all midsentence. That's a pro. And I got high. And now I am flying on my broomstick through what feels like the most gentle, most urban eerie onset of autumn ever.

The brighter the sun, the deeper the shadows.

Country music can be kinda corny at times, itself. That's almost the point. But I am always impressed with music video directors like Micheal Solomon, who wrote and directed the Trace Adkin's video that I am the love interest in. It is a grand filming and editing undertaking to plot out a story in three minutes - and have it come across! I think we accomplished exactly what the script called for (although I noticed that there are four characters in the EZ Mart that didn't make the editing cut).

Happy birthday, Smilin Buddha! You can do it - just wait to see what the next year brings with chages like this!
