14^th annual subtropics experimental music festival tonight. I love this artist called Needle who is making electronic noise really. I could listen to it all day. Friends think I am crazy. Obsessed with photo books as of late. Amused in the book store tonight at the irony of it. all I buy now is picture books. Whenever I say I'm reading something I'm really listening to it on CD. If a book doesn’t come out as a ‘book on CD,’ I have a tough time taking it down. I just don't have the time or energy to read words. But I love reading pictures and photo books. Especially nudes, bodies, fashion, male or female. so a lot of the listening I am doing lately is to books and a lot of the reading I am doing is of pictures. The Pimsleur method for Italian wakes me up most mornings, rich dad, poor dad drives me around during the day. Wayne dyer’s real magic puts me to sleep many nights. 

[Especially amused when listening to rich dad poor dad---where Robert completely convinces you of the importance of not spending your income but only your assets—it's really an amazing read/listen/study/theory if you will. I'm sure most people already know it. I'm always the last to know. and how important it is for your income to contribute as much as you can to your assets and your assets in turn will begin to then contribute to your income eventually and then you won't have to actually work to ‘make money.’ But rather your money will be working for you. and me spending everything I make plus all my savings and investments of the last five years on this new album of ours. He says ‘never touch your savings or investments for luxuries...’ my body winces... ‘uh oh,’ I think. the only saving grace is that Fred [producer/engineer of the record] is contributing a lot of their own money to it too. So that makes it a little easier.]   

Watched the docudrama about Michael Jackson and I was as shocked by it I think as anyone was, but what really shocked me even more was the fact that Michael opened his home, his staff, and his family up to this journalist Martin Bashir--- let him live with him for eight months and this asshole has the nerve to go on television last night and say all of these bad things about Michael. After the show aired Michael said, “Today I feel more betrayed than perhaps ever before; that someone who had got to know my children, my staff and me, whom I let into my heart and told the truth, could then sacrifice the trust I placed in him and produce this terrible and unfair program.” 

No wonder Michael is such a freak and isolates himself so much. What a dick that guy is. I'm not a fan of MJ. I don't even own any of his albums except for off the wall, but where has the trust gone in this world? I mean, lately I'm just starting to realize, was there ever any trust in the world among men to begin with?

Current Spin: the silver mount Zion memorial orchestra, Born into trouble as the sparks fly upward. Some good instrumental ambience.
