Jason Reeves checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Tuesday (December 23). The Iowa City singer songwriter tells readers:

Hey folks…
I hope you all have a grand holiday season. Even if simply for the brief pause from the insane speed of this world we’ve built ourselves in. I hope you use it to be with people you love. And I hope you take an instant at least to relax and let go of all the madness. You’ll see the simplicity of life that we bury beneath all the stress. Anyway, I hope you’re warm, and I hope
you’re loved…
-j.

Jason Reeves checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Tuesday (November 25). The Iowa City singer songwriter tells readers:

My television set screams the troubles of the times. Paying vague attention through the filters of my mind, words like “go hungry” and “crashing economy” and “turn for the worst” stab through like a blade in perfect clarity. It is strange for me to hear this with eyes locked in the other direction, lost in the patterns of the leaves. I’m going to change my machines and listen to music instead. I’m drinking tea from China. Who knew the desperation of a race could disintegrate into the sipping of a simple drink. I am an old soul circulating. I feel like if I were perched on the peak of a pristine ridge, facing the mists of the mountains of Asia, I would see the exact same thing that is printed upon the closed linings of my eyelids. I would hang like an hawk in the clouds that create them, watching for little signs of life. If I were a tree clinging to the dirt to survive, I would learn to love the light. I would dance in the rain. I would grow until I died and never once complain. I would do it all again. The green river of revelations. Sip slowly. I would move north up the coast. And build a treehouse village bound by bridges. I would make a cabin home. Lost within the trees to witness heaven’s wisdom breathe and grow….

Jason Reeves checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Thursday (November 13) after a long day of driving. The singer songwriter tells readers:

I am a mile high. I am as high as a mile would be if it were laid on end facing the sky. Denver, Colorado is a glorious bowl of lights and crystal air. We drove here all the way from Iowa yesterday. Twelve hours across the prairie flat endlessness of western Iowa and into the great vast void of Nebraska. I should say though that Iowa is not flat, but charmingly rolling. Waves made out of grain. Golden green and rolling. We stopped in Des Moines for lunch and other than that it was simply gasoline until the mountain line. There is no reason to let up when making that trek. We did it like fiends bent on the drug of destination. Bent on getting here.

Jason Reeves checked in with fans on his blog at MySpace on Saturday (November 1), making his feelings about Tuesday’s U.S. elections clear. The Iowa City singer songwriter tells readers:

If we don’t do something soon to change the direction we are heading, we are all doomed.. It is not a matter of politics. It is a simple truth. We are in trouble and it is impossible not to see. If we don’t act now it may be too late, and the world is much too beautiful to be ruined by human greed. We need to recognize our place among all living creatures and our responsibility to contribute positively to the earth as a whole. I don’t need to tell you any of this, as you already know… But here’s a song I wrote about 4 years ago, hoping that it wouldn’t still apply today…

Jason Reeves posted an acoustic performance of ‘The End’ which the Iowa City singer songwriter shot at his friends house in Butler, Pennsylvania. Reeves writes, “It is flawed and rough and strange but it is honest and true.”
