The introduction.

This one is sparse, minimal and vacant. I don't have a whole lot too talk about on this one. However, my new nickname is sparse minimal.

Part 3 kind of sounds like a video game breaking.

Overall Plot to the Miriam cd: This is the unofficial follow up to Miranda. When I was in Italy prior to making this album we were in the village where my mother lived before moving to North America. The year round population of the village is around 600. However, it was the feast of Saint Rocco, yadda yadda yadda, that's a different story but tons of folks were in town to celebrate the patron saint of tumors (We weren't sure if he helped prevent or if he caused tumors. Either way we toasted him at every available occasion, which I think was interpreted as being blasphemous / ignorant). Anywho there was this smoking girl named Miriam. Just blam, smoking; dark skinned Italian, etc etc. I was attempting to try and hollar but my game doesn't translate into Italian. Oh, and I can't speak Italian. I can hear it ok, sometimes, and when I'm drunk I speak it ok (not really. I think I just think I can speak it, you know). So I'm trying to talk to this girl and I'm spitting my Woody Allen-esque bullshit game using such lines as, "Have you seen the movie the Breakfast Club?" Not like that's good game even if you have seen the movie but when you haven't seen it, never heard of it, and are totally unfamiliar with the whole 80's movie genre, it just serves to make me look like an asshole. Oh, and I'm a total asshole when I'm drunk. I wasn't being an asshole like screaming angry at people, which I do, but my specialty is being so annoying you want to set me on fire and kick my face in like it was a rotting pumpkin. Anyway, I was wasted and uncharming and half trying to mack this girl. I knew I was out of my element. The way you pick up girls in Italy is,"you're so sexy, look at my car". Long story short, I didn't get any loving. I did, however, get an address (bling bling). I made this CD, which is and isn't really about this stranger who I met.

Sidenote: I was talking with my mother about extended family and she said that Miriam's family is probably related to ours. Cool. I made sure to tell Miriam that in the letter that I wrote her I sent her with the CD. No, she didn't write me back.
