November 14, 2005i haven\'t been on a computer in so long i\'m starting to lose my typing skills...

great aunt died last friday, causing much family drama, people calling each other greedy, people being complete idiots...is it any wonder i tend to distance myself from them?

moved into my new apartment a week ago yesterday. it\'s great; people have been so generous, just giving me things they were going to throw away - i got a bed, couch, two chairs, two tables, a set of dishes, a microwave, and a co-worker is letting me borrow her 37\" TV and 6-piece surround sound system indefinitely. thanks everybody!!

so i was getting a little overwhelmed with all this stuff, because i was just going to have it haphazardly sitting around, but mary lane decided to be her wonderful self and decorate for me. so now i have a nicely arranged and cleaned apartment. thanks babe :)

mary lane also took pictures of it, so i\'m goig to get her to send them to me and i\'ll post them here for all to see her work. i swear to god it looks like the paper street soap company, but more nicely decorated.

i have been on the computer in phillips bookstore for entirely tooo long now. bye everyone.

October 31, 2005what a wonderful day. i have hours upon hours of free time (i awoke at 8am, and my lab isn\'t until 1), with 5 unfinished songs in my back-pocket notebook, and i can\'t write anything else for any of them. i\'m drawing a complete blank. it\'s really irritating.

anyway, everone who reads this should go to www.purevolume.com/michaelburton and listen to my music. nobody has lately, and i need some musical popularity. thanks.

and happy halloween.

love, mike

hello. my name is Jerry.
