to meah and beyond

"parts of pieces of people" or "gs and the concurrers"?

more obscene songs about animals and me... and other people.

grahm got my crash symbol stuck and cracked around a piece of metal yesterday. he was standing over it pulling up and i was banging on the bottom trying to pop it off. i decided to stop what i was doing so as to not hit grahm in the face with a big piece of metal. i mean he's crankey enough when he hasnt had any thing to eat. i got a firm grip and thought i had controll over my upward pressure. i didnt. it popped up and hit grahm in the face. the lip more precisly. he had to go and scrounge for tips in less than an hour
"am i cut bad?"
"uh... no... sorry man"
there was a small deep cut right on the beak of his upper lip.
some time passed.
"i feel like i have a fat lip... can you guys see... is this bad?"
"no... im so sorry though... i cant s..."
oij- "dude... you have a beak!"


new songs... im gonna post some demos on ciard soon... also if anyone else has demos sound/ songwriting experiments they want to post... send em over. im going to set up a sort of online comp of the music that is made each week. highlinghts from meah... any thing i record that is new as well as anything that anyone else wants to post of thier weekly struggle. uh.

dear brian ulrich's class

I am an American. As an American (in lieu of decent healthcare, I believe) I am entitled to break down in front of a bunch of strangers on the internet each and every valentines day (as well as any other day I so choose) and shame myself with my vulgar, bitter quips on whatever subject I like.

I appreciate your concern for my public image. I could probably use a good pr team in my corner... but if this happens again, I’ll be forced to pepper you in the face with bird shot from a safe (even comical) distance when nobodies watching. Not even your liberal media will be able to save you then.

(before you all go off and start whining to the administration that I am threatening to run for office… or make your faces swell up like inside out Chinese checker boards, just remember, you threatened me first. I have my honor to protect, you know. If I have to, I’ll swill whiskey and stroke gunmetal with the most distinguished statesmen, just to teach you all... hold on, my vegan sissy burger is ready…)

for your information, this sort of "10 am, haven’t slept, might still be a little drunk from last night but I’ve somehow already been to school and back" rant is "the other" part of my art. Don’t you like art?

Fuck.

Furthermore, I do kiss my mother with this mouth. She seems to very understand, about the mess, that is. I think she is just amazed that I was able to finally start leaving the last part off of the parenthood/ childhood favorite "godamit Geoffrey." it took a while though. It’s like when I was a kid and I thought both of my good friend's parents were named "chucknbev". I think I varied the inflection some how to address one or the other in particular... but now I have gotten off task.

watch your ass(s).

Sincerely,

Geoff

Ps My little sister might call you bitches… she is not a very good American, but better than I maybe. In my economy it’s the men that make 70 cents for every dollar that women do. And Christ, don’t even get me started on policy.

be mine? (so that you may be amongst my possesions)

Get fucked, fuckers. i learned a lot about psych. this morning... i decided not to go see mouse parade and del rey last night (for free(like an asshole)) so i could get some sleep. I couldnt though... in fact, not even five minuts. The moon was bright all night and then the sun came up and I went to school.

if you celebrate this evening... i hope you get herpes or turn into zombies or somthing. i know im bitter... but... no thats all, just bitter... and really tired.

tortoise and bonnie prince billy have a "thunder road" cover on the new record. i dont know about the album yet, but thunder road... you know... it makes so much sense... i would have never thought... it is a good thing to listen to on repeat at any time of day or night or very early morning.

something about a cat.

ciard

well... take a look... tell me what you think. right now, some things are broken and its a little cumbersom and some things need a sp check and other things need to make thier way up there in the first place and links need to be updated for new sites and lots of work needs to be done... but here is a ciard 1.0. for those of you involved with the organization feel free to contact me with ideas and criticism.
thanks
gs
ps
i need your papers and art for publishing... its kinda looking like the geoff carr show up there (and pat, but i need more of his art and words and imput as wel)
CIARD http://ciard.com/

something i am particularly fond of is the chris reilly video game demo for the temp hq. here is a short cut to that. you need quicktime 7 and a little time to download some of the videos... my recomendation is that you get quicktime 7 and wait for the downloads... its worth it just to see pat and geoffs work get blowed up like that. http://ciard.com/ciard/ciardframeset.html

dr. stupid was staying with us again, for a short time, while his parents were busy having a real baby. hes gone now. i miss him. its like we live in one big half full cat toy now. its unfortunate that damage and stupid had to fall into such an ill fated semi long distance relationship like this... so it goes. you can be sure though, there never was a purer love. febuary 14th is Canadian Ian's birday... let us celebrate him together instead of a more predictable homage paid to the candy companies and patron saints of touchey subjects.
