And just like that add songwriter to the resume. The verses are good, like really good. How I am going to pay for our studio time? Fuck if I know. We are about to make something magical though. No I am not sitting here picturing a number one single and being the latest one hit wonder. Pop stars aren’t made at 50. Music – good music does need to be preserved. In theory, I will find the way to get it on wax so to speak for the return of Da Smoke in September, but we will see.
I am exploring more of the area and fuck California is beautiful. Even something as mundane as getting a bikini wax shows how beautiful this state is, and how fortunate it is that I am here. I wasn’t able to schedule an appointment with the waxer at the shop up the street so I said fuck it let’s see her in Napa. I was avoiding it I think because of memories. I still have moments, but they are further and further apart these days. I look forward to when they no longer exist, and that day shall arrive.
The hub is in a little shopping center that seems out of place in a city I imagined as ‘affluent’ as Napa. I suppose that is all about me, my perception of success and affluence. There is a laundry mat there and yes those are needed, but I don’t picture a laundry mat in ‘richness’. The bridge was cute, and the trip up 37 was charming. Lots of charm in the area, yeah I really enjoy that word. Shit even the industrial park on Devlin Road is adorable. I still have more to explore there, Napa. I will be out there at least once a month now, possibly more depending on how things shake out. I’m less than thrilled with the traffic, but well that is California for you.
The dress arrived Friday. It is magnificent, and of course pink. It even has a panel so I don’t have to wear underwear. Bless Mandisa. I need shoes to match, and I just saw the perfect pair. The additional blessing? Now that I am here in Nor Cal? The open toe design will be good year round, yes even in San Fran with its cold ass.
I have another painting arriving and I have to update Western Vizionz with the edit suggestions. Its gonna be a good day. It is a good day to not be an upside down triangle. IYKYK
