This summer heat is wearing on me. I’ve never been more excited for fall in my entire life.

Anyway, I’ve been working on a good bit with my writing somewhat secretly lately. Aside from my next poetry book, I’ve finally come up with an idea for something I’ve been wanting to do for a very long time. I have no clue when I’ll be ready to announce more on this idea, but nevertheless, I’m excited for it.

In an attempt to raise awareness about this new Star Wars blog of mine, StrWrs.tumblr.com, I’m reposting this image I made and originally posted on my personal blog a while back. It originally got about 1500 reblogs on it’s on, so hopefully this will get around again and spread the word!

So, for any of you Star Wars fans out there that see this, please feel free to follow the blog, because I’ll be launching it soon as an attempt to create a Star Wars blog that actually fits well in 2010.

If you’re a fan of Star Wars, feel free to follow my new blog @ strwrs.tumblr.com.

I’m officially starting a Star Wars blog, because 1) I’m a nerd at heart & 2) there just aren’t any Star Wars blogs out there that I feel cater to my generation, they all feel dated. Feel free to follow @ strwrs.tumblr.com.

EDIT: (Sorry, had to repost because the original Tumblr link was wrong!)

Inspiration?

Fri, 02 Jul 2010 16:34:25 -0500

One of the top 5 questions I get asked, whether pertaining to my music or the author side of things, is: Where do you get your inspiration?

Well, I’ll explain the biggest form of it right now, very quickly.

I’m sitting here, going about my normal day while off tour, working on things. I look out the window in my office at my apartment and notice a swarm of something (looks like a hell-ton of gnats to me.) I then immediately open a blank text file and start typing for about 45 seconds. I finish, and it turns out to be a poem that has nothing to do with gnats, but instead a poem about war and myself.

My point of this is to say, as I usually stress to people, writing should never be forced. It’s meant to be a natural thing. Inspiration is a strange thing, and a very loveable one at that. Be patient with it, and it will be kind to you.

THE ENDLESS NOTHING.

I recently got back from a trip to northern Michigan. A trip in which I was planning to finish writing my third poetry book (I even purchased a new Moleskine to fill up on the duration of the trip.) However, instead of writing, I lived. I ended up doing a handful of things I had never done before - my favorite of which was kayaking.

Anyway, I wanted to post this update and finally share that while most of my third book is finished, there is still a good bit to go. I’ll be taking the next few weeks to make an attempt at finishing up with the writing, and hopefully the book will be ready for your hands by early this fall.

Oh, and lastly, I thought I’d share…
The title of my third book shall be, The Endless Nothing.

P.S. - Terribly sorry about the lack of updates here, I’ll do my best to document my life while finishing this book a bit better from here on out.

The Weakerthans - Left and Leaving
From the album Left and Leaving

One my favorite songs, from one of my favorite bands. This would easily be in my top 20 songs of all-time list. If you don’t think these lyrics are amazing, then I don’t know what to say to you.

Matt & Kim - Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare
From the album Grand

I love this entire album, but this track stood out to me from first listen on. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a big drum beat and a string section.

I want to see this quite badly.

The lyrics of the song warrant it as a great opening track to represent Jack Kerouack’s book, Big Sur. I love love love the lyrics and overall feel of playing this song in the middle of a long drive.

I stumbled onto this song in the middle of an Urban Outfitters’ LSTN Mix, and would easily call it one of my favorite electronic tracks I’ve ever heard.

To say I love this song would be an enormous understatement. One of my favorites of all-time for rainy and not rainy days. Perfect lyrics, perfect guitar, and perfect melody, if you ask me.

Here’s a new one from a band that makes feel like there’s still hope that the oldies I always loved from the 50s and 60s won’t ever die. Plus, it’s Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, so how can you lose?

Listener's Club.:

I’ve started a new Tumblr where I’ll be sharing music by the bands/artist I’m listening to lately that I feel need to be heard. So, if you want to, feel free to follow the new blog at listenersclub.tumblr.com. The first post is already up!
