Spring has Sprung, Kicked out of Woodstock, etc

I am sitting at a kitchen table in Tivoli, NY near Bard College. Hudson Valley beauty is in full swing; spring has finally sprung. Wearing shorts is an option. Been opting for the shady side of the road at times. After coming to the realization that I have been neglecting my self-absorbed public internet diary for quite some time this month, I thought I might give some choppy and vague updates for all interested parties.
Had some truly stressful times earlier this month; probably why I haven't updated. Interpersonal bullshit issues. Trying to come to terms with feeling chronically taken advantage of by an estranged loved one.
I've had some serious lack-of-sleep issues, mostly due to stress. Fell asleep at the wheel resulting in a car accident; hugely scary. I was fine, no big issues on paper except for a huge slap-in-the-face, what-the-hell-are-you-doing-with-your-life-you-asshole feeling. A very real sense of needing to get my shit together. At one point I felt as if I truly knew what I was doing, these days I'm far from confident in that department. Searching for some purpose behind my actions at-large.
Lately I have been feeling great! I have been on a 9-day tour with the Points North and Manners, and this is day seven. We played at a very weird campfire on the Hudson last night at an incredibly beautiful and peaceful location. College kids got really wasted. Is that a given?
Itinerary:

BOSTON, MA - MassArt Squash courts. Totally beautiful, tiny gymnasium with boss reverb. Tons of friends and wonderful bands, including Brown Bird and Gracious Calamity.
BELFAST, ME - Waterfall Arts Center - sweet show, wine and vegan chili, lots of young punk families and parents/children in general. Really cool. Stayed in Freedom with Kyle and Little Man. Such a great time.
PORTSMOUTH, NH - Red Door - Fun show, great walks around Portsmouth/Kittery. I have a detached road sign that wouldn't fit in the car that I stashed away on Badger Island. I shall return.
KEENE, NH - The Starving Artist - Very cool diy-run art space in the town that Jumanji was filmed. Some dressed-up-fancy girls were in attendance, it was one of their birthdays. Weird.
WALLKILL, NY - Matty's house - At the top of a windy mountain. Show was powered by a PA system from Abercrombie & Fitch consisting of about two dozen small speakers. Weird, cool. Christmas lights. Walks in the woods. Huge bird. Moat. Sports cars.
ANNONDALE-ON-HUDSON, NY - Beautiful place. So calming.
BROOKLYN, NY - tonight! Not expecting much, honestly. Show with Wailing Wall, which will rule.
PROVIDENCE, RI
QUINCY, MA

Also, on the way to Wallkill, NY we swung by the site of Woodstock '69 in Bethel, NY. We played recreational flying disc(frisbeedude) on the site of the mainstage, ran around a bit, put dandelions in our hair and were promptly kicked out by a security guard in a jeep.

I feel really good.

Saving daylight, but at what cost?

I guess spring has been cancelled this year after just one pilot weekend. The(read: my) world has reverted back to slush and freezing rain and snow. How demotivating! Gross. I think today I'll just aim a pinch lower. I've been reading In Dubious Battle by John Steinbeck lately, and it has me hooked. I'll work at that.

REALLY GREAT THINGS HAPPENING IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW:

• The Points North album is just about finished!
• I've been playing drums with the Woodrow Wilsons lately, as well
• Oh my goodness sometimes it feels so good to just live and be
• Bike riding? Again really soon?
• Blastfest, big music festival in Cambridge next week, featuring both PN and WW!
• Leftover spring rolls in the fridge
• I really love my family
• Worcester contra-dance next weekend!
• My brain tells me the ice shall soon thaw. Does this mean the Elizabeth Bishop will make her maiden voyage?
• Oh my goodness music music music
• Making friends out of acquaintances
• April shows and an eight-day tour with Manners!
• A hastily prepared and perhaps absurd trip to Iceland- this weekend! Oh my goodness.
• A CRUSH ON A GIRL? I'm not sure if this qualifies as a really great thing. A little confusing, perhaps. These things are really infrequent, I feel. Therefore special? The theory of scarcity at work?
• Living as a human should: with other humans.

One of the biggest internal challenges in my life is trying to determine how to live as a human should. I promise I will not elaborate on this, today. I will spare you sophomoric philosophical rambling for the time being. However, it is high time for one of those spring rolls I've been hearing(read: eating) so much about.
