JOURNAL

EVERY TIME WE MAKE A WORK OF ART WE PUT A DOCUMENT OF IT HERE IN THIS JOURNAL FOR A JAPANESE DOCUMENTARIAN FILM MAKER SO THEY CAN MAKE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THIS ARTIST IN THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE THEN WE CAN GO TO JAPAN, HOPEFULLY NOT SO LATE IN LIFE THAT IS A CRUEL IRONY. MOST PEOPLE BESIDES JAPANESE PEOPLE EVER GET TO GO TO JAPAN. WE UNDERSTAND, BUT WE GENUINELY WANT TO GO TO SEE THE COUNTRY AND OUR FRIEND NOBU.

APRIL 1, 2006 // WE DRANK WHISKEY AND WATCHED THE SUNSET

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA

GUITAR PLAYER AND FRIEND ON BEACH AT SUNSET // PENTAX IQZOOM 90MC ISO 400

I believe we drank a small bottle of whiskey and watched the sunset. That is my aunt’s guitar. Those are my friends. I am trying to recollect and learn. I hope it is of service. I’m disabused of the illusion that this will lead to financial security or spiritual authentication. I often have thought of destroying these records because they are some sort of fool’s errand with a false promise. There is a reason to do everything though, and everything is meaningless. We must remember the meaning.
