RAYMI!

Here is a good story of me drunk last night when I realized that I don’t get along with people that don’t drink.

My friend was in town and was going to crash

on my couch. I was also buying a computer from him. So I pick him up

and get the computer and then he says he is hungry. I am like ok lets

go grab a bite to eat. We go to the (very nice) _wine_ bar in my

neighborhood so I can get a drink, plus I know my girl is going to be

there. So we are all hanging out and I buy him a glass of wine

because I know he is poor even though he wont admit it. He looks at

me like what are you doing. I said just drink this damn. So it took

him all night to drink this one glass of wine and for some reason it

turned his lips and his teeth black. Meanwhile my girl and I are

getting pretty drunk off wine and I order a big ass platter of meat

and bread and cheese because I know he is hungry. But then this

jackass refuses to touch any of it and says he is going to get

something to eat later. I couldnt believe it because i ordered a shit

load of food since he was whining about being hungry earlier. So I

scarf down the whole platter pretty much all by myself, with a little

help from my girl. then I get even drunker and he is swishing the

little amount of wine around in the bottom of his glass. I start to

dance with my girl and then the place is closing and he is on his cell

phone having an important convo with who knows who. Probably himself.

I go to leave and he is like “oh man what the fuck you cant drive”.

That made me pretty pissed but I thought, oh well I cant really argue

with him about this I will just let him drive. As soon as we get in

the car he is bitching again about how hungry he is!! WHAT? I couldnt

believe my ears. I said fine there is a mcdonalds on the corner the

drive thru is open lets go. I dont eat fast food, he says. I dont

care if you eat it or not, i say. If you arent going to eat it then

drive to my house. Its 12 oclock and I have to work. something that

he is not familiar with because he sits in a hole by himself all day

making dance records that nobody will ever hear. So now he wants to

drive around brooklyn looking for a place to get a hero at 12 oclock

on sunday. At this point I have had enough of his bitch ass and I

tell him to get moving towards my apt and I dont care how f’ing hungry

he is, and so on…. the little bitch tries to yell at me saying I

shouldnt drink and that I am an angry drunk. I only got angry after

he acted like a complete jackass the whole night. I am still pissed

off about this today. He better be out of my apt by the time I get

home.

What do you think about that story?

raymi!

It was great

the voice is smart and funny

and very, very fluent — which is important

just needs more focus

then you’ll be in the catbird seat

You have a great story in there somewhere, and great means to tell it

in fact it could be quite commercial, as well as GOOD

Did you get my picture? (I need to hear ten million compliments about it etc…

What’s your day like? You’re up early, sweets… I’m scoring some gear today (as my Brit friends say) for the first time since the summer… been a good boy but it’s time to put THAT behind me…

hello, yes we want you to come to the office for a Matchmaker “audition” — nothing to it — just bring your audition form in January! we’re at the office mon-fri 10-6 drop in anytime!!!!

I’m a venture capitalist as well as a producer FYI.

I combine $$$ with art.

I’ve produced theatre, cd’d, art exhibits and more.

But thank you for recognizing me as a person.

I have to have a dialogue with a few industry folks before I can get you that

number.

Hiya Raymi,

I’m just transcribing the tapes from our interview and was wondering if you

could send me the digital pictures that Tim and you took during the shoot.

I also need to shoot your site with some of these pictures on them (as well

as your diary entries surrounding our shoot) and was wondering where they

were… you changed the layout for your site… just send me the right link

OK?

Thanks so much Raymi!!

Hi Lauren

You’re the scab I just can’t leave alone.

Sorry ‘bout that….

So we are friends for life?

What is going on with you?

Are you still in Canada?

or away somewhere?

I’ve been living with Allison for two weeks now and have successfully pushed all my friends out of my life. That’s O.K. though. She has to go back to Montreal to change apartments. Then plans on going to Africa (fucking Mutha Lan’)… I’ll believe that when I see it. It’s a strange situation to try and base your plans on someone younger who leaves a trail of dead in their wake.

Ash says hi, he’s in the U.K. now. Email him will you? it would freak him out.

I’m planning conning them (Reuters) into giving me some business travel there. Unfortunately British Airways Business class is a thing of the past,. No more huge Gin and Tonics in the Lounge. I’ve got a couple of places to stay.

this is all from the year 2000 and i am 17 years old and drunk

10:31am

i’m having a trippy episode – my eyes are flickering and i’ve written my name obsessively on my styrofoam cup 14 times. some robitussin will calm me down. weed money is noted down as “walking money” on expense reports. hahaha.

1:26pm i am apparently – a neo-liberalist. thanks jason.

5:45pm

randomly chose to sit and chainsmoke and drink white chilled wine by myself at cafe riverside or something like that – this trippy bumpin’ loungeplace across the street from opera house. i have my own couch and booth and pillow. i just don’t have you here with me.

stef and diane are waiting outside in the cold becuz they’re hardcore fans like that of stereophonics and i am not.

i am really liking this song. i am in the mood for random drunkenness. yes i am i think so. random drunkenness alone.

countdown to valentine’s day.

countdown to acceptance of dan’s total unreliableness.

i sat there for awhile pretending you [not dan, someone else] were sitting across from me i sat there and i wrote bad poetry on the spot for you and i thought about you

about you

i lit another smoke and then i hugged the pillow

i did

on a monday nite

i did

i looked out the window and onto the street and i smiled at my loneliness

the two guys walked deeper into the room and looked at the lonely piano then took off their jackets

my pants match the color of the booth

i wish i was wearing all black

i search the room with sullen eyes for something familiar something that is me

the girl eats orange slices with a silver fork “do we get bread with that?”

i think about the lonely boy at the table in the rayne’s park coffeehouse in wimbledon/london and me at the tableseat near the window

alone and smiling weakly

you lied about your age. he lied about his job. the important things is you’re getting free drinks. – newad.com – advertising that talks to 18-34 year olds.

it suddenly got dangerously dark outside real fast.

i’ve got time to kill too much time what will i drink next? this cool,lobsided and wobbly looking lamp is beside me right now – ikea-ish?

therapy has been rescheduled for thursday at 2:40 then i work at 4.

wine makes me loopy sad and tired and aroused and hungry and my lids are heavy.

wine in a place like this costs an arm and a leg it does.

i will just sit here drinking and thinking about you.

could i possibly be more alone that this? sure. of course. there’s a stripclub just up a ways. durr…

quelle fucking drag you know.

they’re drinking dry martinis over there.

i’m becoming delusional.

i just thought that if someone did in fact join me, i would not be able to handle it. to deal. i just couldn’t, not ready for it.

laura and curly ate a 26 dollar steak once – they really did. i can’t believe i am amazed by that.

another smoke to lite and i am going the route of fucked-upness, i’m playing that card. so far i think it’s working half ‘n half.

next on the agenda is godet, milk, ice. it’s the GAP of Bailey’s i think or Ben once said, or maybe it was me.

i’ve left a temporary indentation in the seat where my ass would be and now i am leaving to be across the street and drink over there and listen to a band from the UK that i halfcare about but i am sure they are very nice.

he was suppose to call and act like he cared and she was suppose to ramble on about her weekend away and the call was suppose to make the upcoming work-week look promising

optimistic even

and she was suppose be there with coffees and cameras and smiles in her eyes

and sit around the board room feeling metropolitan about herself and her life like how the magazine spread tells her so

and she is invited out to lunch with the white collars and they sit around discussing golf and the new girl and her pumps and they generally feel like this is how it is suppose to be like

and that they had arrived in the world

and they have arm candy kept wives

and skinny-waif pretty secretaries

and fucked-up kids

who boss around the dumber ones in the school yard

and she is there

sitting

thinking it the perfect opportunity to pipe in about a new club they could all go to next friday because she got them VIP and it would surely impress the out-of-town clients and she would put a picture in their heads of hot well to do types wandering around drunk spending lots and lots of important dollars

and they would love her more

because they would get to sit in fancy chairs that are low to the floor with their ties loosened

but instead

she turned to her boss and said

i quit

i found what my true calling in life is

well i sort of knew all along

and last nite helped make it more clear

my true calling is the

jurassic park shooting game

i’m serious

we sat there a whole hour and i was thinking

this is the best hour of my life

this is such a great work-out for my arms

holding this big stupid gun

and i am sweating like mental

and chillens are walking all around

getting mad that we are hogging the game

and i am like BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP

fackoff t-rex

my other true-calling is tai-play and 11up and drinking beer and making comments about strangers and their facial expressions

Hey Raymi,

I thought in my inebriated state that I would let you know this right away.

I thought you might find it interesting.

tho i did want to address the last email u wrote, ie the one i posted on my blog

i wanted u to know that the mania is yes worth the art one produces

but be careful

im 21 now and i have had it with myself and how i am now

a drunk everyday and i how i deal with it is by glamorizing the places

i frequent and act pathetic and cute

i have been in a psyche ward brandi

and that aint any kind of fun

i cant smoke weed anymore because my brain is super sharp and connects

things that are ridiculous and i have/had severe post traumatic stress

from living in nyc during sept. 11 and from dating two drug dealers

who were very abusive

and now the antidepressants i am on are making me manic and i am just

fine with it and i drink coffee everyday and i have all these

brilliant ideas and i never finish one project i begin and i whine and

complain for help with these projects i want to come to seed but then

we just end up going to a play and to the bar and reading my email for

nice messages from people like you

and i think i will never ever be satisfied with my life

and i also have body dismorphia and eating problems and i am broke all the time

so…
