Will you be the one who smiles for me?

I have been trying to watch allot of romantic movies lately and then not finishing them because it gets me down to see beautiful people falling in love. I told someone how I felt about them the other day (for the second time, but the first didn't count because we had been drinking and I don't think she remembered what I said the next day). This "talking to girls about your crush" idea is totally new to me and it felt so good to try, but I got rejected. She said it wasn't because of me, but because she was not really "ready to like someone". Is this an easy let down or are their really people who don't go through every day constantly looking for love? It is probably a really normal thought but at this point in my life it is hard for me to understand. YES I just got out of a really sweet (as in 'sweet as sugar' not 'woa sweet!') relationship and CHOSE to end it myself, but only because we lived an hour a part and went almost a month with out seeing each other. I got lonely knowing that she was so close but not beside me so I broke up with her. It felt right and the time and still does. I am learning that what I really desire is longing for love not actually experiencing it. But regardless I still can think of nothing but how much I want some one to curl up with right now.

I like not updating my live journal for a long period of time and then going right into a long love rant that is totally out of context to almost all of you.

So I have been delivering pizzas. It is fantastic (sort of). I drive around and pretend I am playing paper boy 2. I role down the windows and listen to mellow beach music and collect wild tips.

There are several pigeons, a raccoon, and probably some homeless people making noise outside my bedroom window right now as I type.

I just bought a plane ticket to boston to play drums in math the band when they open for Andrew W. K. next month. That is really exciting. I am also working on booking a tour with Watercolor Paintings for this summer. I can't wait to spend more then a few days with them.

Its been awhile, man. Life's so rad!

"Have a safe New Year"
That is ridiculous!

Let's embrace danger you guys!

Isn't it about time that you had an extremely DANGEROUS year.

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 06:53:27 GMT

To be the one that you call when you get home
I am a super sleuth for only that privilege
Feeling good about a phone call we had is the clue that led me back to the airport
Where you were soon landing
When you're a gumshoe like I am every clue knocks the wind from you
when you've got gum on your shoes like I do every step your stuck all over again
I believe in mystery
Oh you are the adventure of the copper beeches
My Irene Adler
My magnifying glass isn't just for burning ants anymore
Deductive reasoning, elementary, and still so much rests unexplored

Being Alive

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 16:50:43 GMT

Being alive is totally weird
beautiful and insincere
enormous and all unwound
really small and underground
buried for a billion years
pots and pans filled up with tears
closing down or coming soon
visions of impending doom
cold red noses; kissing wildly
curled up so warm inside me
hugged, kissed, punched in the face
blood seeping from your leg brace
puking food just barley chewed
left a note says "love you dude"
met some kids; feeling saner
mystic visions of Mt. Rainier
children murdered in a movie
hit the dance floor; feeling groovy
have a donut or a pear
recalling you in yer underwear
completely fucked, glad I'm here
this will be an amazing year

I have been living in Seattle for almost a month. Weird huh? Well I don't really think so. It's great! There is a loud rumbling above my head. New band. Shows. January Tour. Al's. Lot's of new comics. Staring into strangers eyes. Dogs. Dogs with sunglasses. Dogs with sunglasses preservation society. The multi-nation association for celebration of vibration.

p.s.

it's official. I think the grateful dead are fantastic.

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 05:09:41 GMT

well here. Have an entry that I wrote.

I have been living in Providence Rhode Island for the last month with Kevin and Justine from Math The Band. We have been practicing and getting ready for the Unlimited Enthusiasm Expo. www.unlimitedenthusiasm.com (if you want to come to the phoenix show, let me know and I can try and get you on a guest list or something. Jason Anderson is playing! Also if you know how to play iji songs and want to play with me at that show you should! We will be practicing during the day or something)

Played some shows around new england. Made some friends. Went to see Tullycraft in Boston. Made some really stupid movies about bananas.

I finalized my plans to move to Seattle in September. I will be living with Jon Manning and (thee) Bobby. I have even already started putting together a band up there. -Pretty sure this is going to be a really positive experience. I am even planning on going back to school!

So much is changing and it is a good thing I promise. We will have to hang out in August when I am back for a few weeks.

my neck hurts

I just bought tickets to see Daniel Johnston in providence on Saturday. Yes!

ok.

that is all of it I guess.

Fri, 09 May 2008 19:36:56 GMT

hello.

I am in Colorado.

Soon I wont be because I will be in other places.

Like highways and stuff.

maybe we can hang out!

Love,

Zach

I just got home from the hospital. I had pretty gnarly butt hole surgery and now I cannot sit down for a month. If you want to come over and watch a movie with me sometime call me.

I just wrote a story
I hope you like it. I want to write more of these.

STAUREE

A man awoke to find that his brain was pulsing. He sat up slowly beneath his damp sheets and peeled them off of his fully clothed body to find that he had even forgotten to remove his shoes before dosing off last night. WAIT! He remembered something. Screeching as loud as he possible be could he said nothing.

Just screeched a little bit.

He had remembered that today was the day that he had been waiting for. Oh! How quickly it came. It was almost as if he wasn’t waiting for this day at all, and perhaps he hadn’t been. But that did not matter to him at all as he looked him self in the mirror and began to remove all of his clothing.

The audience is surprised to see that under his business suit the man is wearing underwear made of leaves.

****************************************************

“What the hell is this Tarzan or something?” Someone in the 3^rd row of the movie theater yells… No one laughed, resulting in that someone leaving the theater in tears. She runs home to her studio apartment and ages three hundred years and is now dust on a large rock where her house once stood.

****************************************************

After having stripped all articles of clothing the man opens his medicine cabinet and grasps a tube of bright red lipsticks. The reader may be surprised that he does not smear it on his lips but under his eyes. Oh! I get it! It is war paint!

Tripping a little has he runs down the stairs the man’s excitement is growing! In fact, he has lost six pounds and grown a mustache since he left his bedroom .6 seconds ago.

He flings open the front door of his house.

The audience takes a long gaze at the man’s house. It is a modern household, Two stories with a nice lawn and an SUV in the drive way. It looks just like the houses from one of those neighborhoods where the homes are all exactly the same and you get in trouble if you try and paint your house green or leave some old auto part in your front yard and bullshit like that. But there are two things that set it apart from one of those houses.

1. It is the only house for three miles in any direction. In fact it is completely surrounded by an ocean of tar. Some local teenagers like to come skateboard out there, but our protagonist called the cops on them last time so they haven’t been back in a while.

2. The audience can see the emerging top half of a fully inflated hot air balloon in the back yard.

The man quickly sprints around the side of the house (for some reason he had no back door) and hops into the hot air balloon, cutting the ropes holding it down with a pair of gardening sheers.

HE TAKES OFF TO THE SKY!!!! IN FLIGHT!!!! TOTAL FLIGHT!!!!

There is a little bit too much time spent showing the man floating through the air set to the music of The 5^th Dimension. And after about 8 times through the song “Up, Up and Away” people start to leave the theater.

Two of the attendees catch eyes. They can feel there gaze moving through the air and then crashing together at the exact middle point between where the two of them are standing. They go out on a several dates and then get married. After having three kids they get a divorce, because the male feels like he needs change in his life and the female has stopped caring about anything except for watching the Wayne Brady Show at 10 am ever day on channel 3 or whatever. They both move on and have less and less exciting lives. The male of the relationship dies first and the woman goes to his funeral where she ironically chokes on a piece of gum she was chewing two loudly during the eulogy and dies. They immediately put her in a casket and make it a joint funeral. Their bodies rot away in wooden boxes only 3 feet away from each other and they are eternally just out of reach. Several hundred years later a bearded man digs up their graves looking for jewelry and any other sort of valuables buried with the bodies. After removing the man’s watch he throws them both into the same grave and they are happy until the world ends only a few hundred years later.

Chapter 19

In heaven everybody is hanging out and having a post apocalypse party. Everyone that had ever lived seemed to be there. It turned out Hell was a myth, but heaven was totally for real. Even the bad guys were being nice. It was pretty weird man, you should have seen it. During role call it is discovered that there is a spirit missing. The party stops and everyone is silent!

But then! There is a hot air balloon in the sky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT’S THE GUY FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HE HAS A MICROPHONE AND HE TOTALLY SAYS “LET’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED FOR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

fuck iji. why are they playing with slgtm...and even on the tour poster. fuck that shit.

ha ha (i tried to laugh at this a few times, I mean it is sort of funny the absurdity of it all but I would be lying if this didn't make me think you know?)

I am trying to figure out what kind of a person would post something like that on an open forum. It really doesn't get me down too much though.... this guy thinks cocorosie is cool so I can't say much for his musical tastes, but still the viscousness of it is something to be frowned upon whether you like my music or not. I mean saturday looks good to me has been one of my favorite bands since even before high school, and are a huge influence on my song writing, I think we kind of fit on that show more then anyone else in this town. I don't even know this guy.

it's just weird you know. I mean I laugh at first but it's things like this that really make me think about love and friendship and human nature you know? I guess I shouldn't let it get to me.

Its 412 in the morning and I don't feel like sleeping. I have been working allot and it is viciously cutting into my daily lonely hang period. It's sad how much I think about friendships. I can't stop it.. As much as I would like to think other wise it really does bother me when people don't want to be around me. I can make and lose a good friend like a champion of doing wrong. I should get some sort of cool big belt like a wrestler, maybe then I wouldn't get so depressed about it.

Part II of the Zach Burba (fighting on the side of punk rock and free speech) versus Keven The Manager at Zia (Fighting on the side of Big Money) did not go over as I planned. I apologized to the guy and he threatened me. It's not like I hurt him or anything. Cheese and Rice. I mean I wasn't nice to him but I was standing up for what I believe in (friendship, love, freedom, rock and roll) yet I still felt bad because I heard he was a good guy and I felt like I ruined his night regardless of everything he was trying to pull, but now I don't feel bad at all (if you don't know the original story ask me about it. It is a really really good story).

Anyways. I think I am playing a show tomorrow night at a house in Tempe. There is a flyer on some live journal community or something.

bye

more then anything else. I wish I was born 60 years ago.

Sun, 16 Sep 2007 10:13:34 GMT

fresh air is so good.

So is loud soul music! And the night! CREATURESSSS.

The karl blau show is on tuesday not monday. I told everybody monday because I was mislead. But it is tuesday the 18th. Be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to alot of money and team of people who want to make 2 movies. Like a major production. I don't want it to be amateur, I want to be fantastic and over the top.

I also want to write a cookbook and have my own show on food network.

workin on it.

Easy Potion is coming together. The whole musical mysticism theme has allowed me to write some of my best songs yet and I am really liking the way this album is turning out. If you play horns or flute or something contact me for some serious recordings seshzz.

I am reading silence by john cage and it is rad. Making me think!!!! I like philosophy when it is about music. If anybody knows any other people who write about the future of music and the meaning and purpose of it, or anything cool and mystic about it and its healing powerzz you should recommend some readings.

I love you and goodnight
