About The Lost Pedestrian

In my wanderings throughout the moments/days/years, I try in earnest to find the mystical within the mundane and the mundane within the mystical, oftentimes confusing one from the other. I have wandered and roamed through many a city, many a town, in a state of wonder and bewilderment, without necessarily going anywhere. I am easily lost, but eventually found. (I am guessing you have just found me). My sincere hope is that you will find Something in this warehouse of thought, memory and false memory, words, numbers, tangents, murmurs, echoes (lots and lots of echoes), voices, dreams, and other paraphernalia.

Posted on November 3, 2012 by The Lost Pedestrian

i wonder if there are any real, tangible benefits to being passive-aggressive. i can’t quite get into specific details because i don’t feel like we really know each other that well. At least not yet. And I don’t want this … Continue reading →

i half heartily write these words because it’s that time of the night where a Lunesta has kicked in and the first effect you really notice is forgetting not only how to spell, but how to type. typing on this … Continue reading →

Ange Des Orages

Posted on October 31, 2012 by The Lost Pedestrian

i just experienced a revelation, an epiphany, a realization that every musical idea i’ve ever come up with is really just a variation on Ange Des Orages by Philip Glass, which I discovered at least 20 years ago, and I … Continue reading →

Posted on October 27, 2012 by The Lost Pedestrian

i went to the symphony to hear Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis and felt strangely impervious. Not exactly there, except for those heartbreaking beautiful violin solos, vocal solos, and the parts in between where most of the audience is coughing. which makes … Continue reading →

surprise

Posted on October 21, 2012 by The Lost Pedestrian
