so my plans have changed..its looks like ill be working a couple more months..ill update my "followers" soon on the plans...the term followers is creepy as hell...its like u guys are stalking me or something..like lindsay lohan fans waiting for her after the parent trap premier or something like that...it insinuates that you guys are right behind me watching my every step..or that im leading you in someway....i preffer the term...interested readers...or bored friends and family.....

im not sure why u guys cant leave comments..travis was saying that it wouldnt let me...try smacking your computer or talkign to it maybe...technology is sensative and needs to be spoken to softly or chucked out the window... .any questions though send my secretary an email and she will pass it along...samueljgarmon.students.abtech.edu

Jams

The weather was good today and my ipod was fully charged...I only worked from eight to five today, i say only because i need OT hours and there was not enough work for OT. So i was listening to the song, "Never Let Me Down" by Kanye West....the last part of the song there was a guy reciting some poetry...I instantly recognized the voice, Saul Williams http://www.saulwilliams.com/...
when I got home i checked up on the lyrics and saw that it wasn't Saul Williams, It was J. Ivy....
Im going to post links to a couple J Ivy's performances at Def Jam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Def_Poetry....

Currently Listening: Neil Young, Harvest Album

Well I got off early the last to days of work, so its daylight when i get home, its really quite exciting...right now im sitting in my closet sized room trying to think of things to write here...ill start with this...I work with two Samoans ladies, Luisa and Tulipe...We get along tremendously minus one small detail...I cant flippin understand them half the time...the Samoan accent when speaking english tends to trail off halway thru the sentence...This is what ill hear..."Jordan! go get .....hmmmla.....cups...thhss....(fading to nothing).....So i asses the situation...I can do three things...I can ask them to repeat, I can ignore until repeated with clarity, or I can guess at what they said and face asked possible rejection...In the begining I asked them to repeat or guessed...our friendships blossomed....We are at the point where i purposely fade my sentences when talking to them....Now this is not to simply dog on the Samoans at all...im simply pointing out some cultural differences that happen to frustrate the living crap out of me. Its actually rather entertaining to worth with Luisa and Tulipe...they talk crap about me in samoan and i throw as many spanish words towards as i can muster....I didnt learn jack from Schlueder ( North henderson inside fact)..I think i will create a tv show about Interworld plastics...A complex drama that is suprisingly boring...

"Its gonna lift you up and let you down"

Currently Listening to: Jack Johnson, Hope

So Ive had this recent itch to see Asia! Im going to try to make it happen for a couple months next year...but for now im working...three more weeks and I should be back on the road heading south!....

jazz reads

"He was the best and the loudest and most loved jazzman of his time, but never professional in the brain. Unconcerned with the crack of the lip he threw out and held immense notes, could reach a force on the first note that attacked the ear. He was obsessed with the magic of the air, those smells that turned neuter as they revolved in his lung then spat out in the chosen key. The way the side of his mouth would drag a net of air in and dress it in noted and make it last and last, yearning to leave it up there in the sky like air transformed into cloud. He could see the air, could tell where it was freshest in a room by its colour"


Just started reading Coming Through Slaughter by Michael Ondaatje today. I dig completely the imagery in this particular paragraph
