Brandon's Blogs on the BrandonBoydbooks.com website
I was noising around the internet and found a REAL gem. Most of you may already be aware of the fact that Brandon blogs on the above mentioned website. I was unaware of this so maybe some of you are too. I'd been on the website before, read his bio, which only deepened my fascination for him, priced his books, looked at his artwork.....and was on there today to see if there was any current news on whether he still plans to bring his artwork to NYC. That's when I discovered his blogs. I hadn't bothered with it before because I assumed that they were blogs from other people. But I'm so glad that I decided to check it out today. It's AWESOME to have the opportunity to peer into his mind......he's creative, articulate, intelligent and really funny. But you guys already know that, don't you? He hasn't written one since this July and I really hope that he continues to share his thoughts with us. I'd love to know, in his own words, how he feels about this summer's tour now that it's over and he's had some time to reflect on it. He wrote about his excitement regarding the tour in May. This is what he said......
"As you may already know, Incubus is taking it to the streets with a big, hairy US tour this July and August. We are currently plotting one of the coolest shows we have ever devised! And being that we haven't been on the road in the US for quite some time, we plan on leaving in our wake a coiled and bulbous mess of satiated ears and eyes. A lover you meet on a deserted beach once every few years to make dirty, unadulterated and ferocious love to. Only then to wake with the early morning light, sandy and satisfied to a note from said lover that states, "Maybe I will see you next Summer... Here's some fresh pineapple." Wow, I am at the three quarter mark of my coffee right now. Can you tell?"
You've just got to love his way with words.......I can't get enough of it. So, if you haven't read his blogs, you NEED to check them out. If this information is already on the site.....I apologize for being so slow.

Sorry to necro an old thread but this seems like the place to post this..
I've become obsessed with using "cool.whip. whiiiippp" as a part of my vocabulary. And I laugh every single time. Anyone else having this problem? lol

-I know I sound opinionated, maybe biased and quite possibly jaded; but sooner than later they'll be throwing quarters at you on stage.
Hooray lovedig! I'm so happy for you! You're going to love it!

Tech you rock !
young person
after reading the blog
I felt like writing a poem
The gift
My love left me a gift
On my table there was a box
And in that box there was a box
And in that box there was a box
And in that box there was a box
And in that box there was a box
And in that box there was a square
And in that square there was a square
And in that square there was a square
And in that square there was a square
And when I had opened them all
And there was nothing left to open
to my surprise
I realized
My gift was
A bunch of empty boxes and squares.

Yep, I feel like Christine, just getting to reading some new words, even about nothing, is like a new touch from an old friend badly missed.

'cuz without love I won't survive
Andrew: I understand what you're saying if you're looking at his blogs from a news standpoint. But I just enjoy hearing from him period. He could write about absolute nonsense and I'd still find it interesting. lol
He has a gift with words that keeps me coming back for more. I'm hooked......sad but something I can't deny.
And $600....wow....that IS pricey. I hate being broke.

Crap, I don't think I can afford that...even for The Plunge. It sounds pretty big though.

I thought it was pretty pointless to be honest. Don't get me wrong, his way of writing is the best. ABSOLUTELY LOVED his Bruce description and his "s*** where I please" mentality. HAHAHAHA
I also really liked what he said about Haiti, that was so necissary and sincere.
I guess when I disected the purpose of his blog, i kinda found nothing? He talked about showing his art at that show, which is on the "news" page, which you must visit to get to his blog. The only thing he said bout Incubus was that music was being written, and from multiple sources (as well as himself) we already knew that. And he reassured us of his absence on Myspace and Twitter, thanks?
And at this point in time I feel a greedy bastard sitting on my shoulder, so i'll shut the f*** up.

Picture the scene where whatever you thought, would in the blink of an eye,
manifest and become illustrated.
SIX HUNDRED BUCKS?! my goodness

kill your doubt.. with the coldest of weapons.. confidence
Yes, worth the wait. I love the way he writes - very esoteric in one sentence then bang "f***in' Quackers" the next. Makes me laugh!

'cuz without love I won't survive
So I'm sitting here, it's late, and I'm alone, as I often find myself during these hours preceding the birth of a new day. I feel restless and in need of...something? I try to ignore it but It doesn't help that my quiet is interrupted by the porn movie my upstairs neighbor is playing WAY too loudly. Then a lone white light illuminates the darkness and I remember....Brandon was supposed have written a new blog. So with childlike excitement I go to the above mentioned website and feasted my eyes and mind upon his newest entry.
What can I say....except that Mr. Brandon Boyd does NOT disappoint. I greedily gobbled up every word, every image, every sentiment.... while above my head, 2.... "actors"...... moaned and cried out continuously. The first paragraph dazzled me and made me want to sigh. His digression into Bruce and the Sundance film festival caused me laugh outright. His news on music, filled me with sweet relief, especially after the latest developments on the New Album Anytime Soon thread. If you've read it, you know what I'm talking about. I read his latest blog twice and afterward..... my world became a little bit brighter, my mind grumbled with the pangs of hunger for more. I'm a little afraid of what that means.
I know I speak for everyone on here when I say:
Thank you Brandon, for sharing your light.
Oh, and I love you too.
It was worth the wait, wasn't it?

now show me the world as seen from the stars....
Here's to BB's beautiful artwork.. Making music.. And getting erect!

kill your doubt.. with the coldest of weapons.. confidence
anyone else but me notice when he said "i don't ]ave a myspace or twitter" he didn't say facebook. i'm farely sure facebook is now popular enough that he would have to mention that too. maybe we were right in thinking he has one..hmmm.
anyways, lovin' my bb fix. and yay for music (: and art. and him. :]

"i will hold you close if you're afraid of heights"
Leah, you and me both! I'd love to be in Park City for that. One day...one day I will see The Plunge in person. For now I am going to try like hell to get the print!

Woke up this morning to a delightful read! Thank you Mr. Boyd for another thought provoking entry.
Jack: It does seem like prints of the Plunge will be on sale! Now how do we get our hands on them?
I wish I could just pack my things, head to Park City, and take in the art and indie films Sundance has to offer. And of course hope to run in to Brandon.
Caro: Follow the Incubus Group Page on FB for the latest Incubus updates!

I got my Brandon fix! Interesting reading, as usual, not to disappoint, but instead to further find him so intriguing. I'm so excited about the new music and the prints!
Did I read that right? One of them is The Plunge?? I need to have it! Anyone know how to get one?

Al fin y al cabo, somos lo que hacemos para cambiar lo que somos.
@leah: OMG! so psyched about that. i hope it's true =D
@mel & rosario: i do the same thing to my friends.
you guys can read and look at it but no borrowing. hahaha.
Incubus Group Page posted this on their FB page:
"New Brandon Boyd #Incubus blog supposedly to be posted tomorrow! I hope so...been too long. Also, new giclees to be available soon for sale. Keep ya posted!"
Let's hope he does post a new blog entry! Can't wait!

LOL! That's funny, Mellie. My sister liked the BB quote I posted on my FB wall and I told her that we'd get together so that she could read more. But there is no way that I'm letting those books out of my hands, so I totally understand.
And I really, truely hope you end up being right about that, Jackie.

i got that same reaction from a few of my friends, too. actually, what they told me was, "dude, you're obsessed with that guy... but i'm totally borrowing both books from you.."
i allowed them to read them, but they had to come over to my house and read them under my supervision, lollll
i knew y'all would be the only ones who would understand... besides one of my best friends who was like "YOU ARE GOING TO LET ME BORROW IT" hahaha
