My dad came up this weekend and brought me my vintage sweet-ass guitar case. It's sooo choice.


We're selling AOL Broad-band service to these people in Florida. FUCK AOL! I hate it. I'm such a corporate slut and it's so dirty.
Note to Al: Telemarketing has turned me into a smoker.

WOO-HOO I'm going to California! And for only $201.
I'll be leaving on the 17th of Jun and I will return on the 24th.
YES!

Well for the past week every time that I've had the opporotunity to write, I've been unable to come up with anything. The trip to Chicago was OK. We did a few things but it was cold and not really so fun to walk around. We did go to some really cool shope around Clark & Belmont.
I finally got some film for my camera! Hopefully I can find a scanner somewhere that I can use so I can have digital copies too. I found a nice camera shop here in Bloomington that I will be going to regularly. Their prices on development are comparable to everywhere else so why wouldn't a support a local business.
Hopefully two months from now I'll be updating from San Diego. I'm getting tickets tonight unless I hear from Al that he's found a better price. I can't wait to get out there.

OK so Dave e-mailed me *thanks*. Yay for Dave!
I weird dream last night that got me worried but I talked to someone about it and it's cool. I'm leaving with psychotic Angela, Bitches and Hoes Ashley, and My Cera Sunshine tommorow for our mini road-trip to CHicago. I've started making a list of things we can do for the two days that we will be there other than looking at houses which is the primary mission for the trip.
Here's the list:


Illinois Institute of Art (the school I was supposed to go to)

Buckingham Fountain (It's on now)

Art Institute (Mmm Hmm Art!)

Navy Pier
Ice Skating (Never done it, maybe I should try it as a CHicago first)
A*maz-ing CHicago (a mirrored maze check out this: A*MAZING CHICAGO)

Burnham Skatepark ("I wanna sk8 all day and night without my board I don't feel right" Skrum

Alder Planetarium (I think they have sky shows every couple hours)

Sears Tower ("lean on the glass..." "I think I see my dad")

Shead Aquarium (Fish and More!)

THe Subway (sorry I come from a small town in no-wheresville the subway is really cool)

Clark & Belmont (Mmm Hmm sex shops!)

I Love You Everyone whom has my Love
I promise I'll be careful; take pictures; have fun; and sk8 it up!

DAVE!!!! E-MAIL ME!!
I have yet to hear from Bluetorch. That's unfortunate. I'm going to start finding other magazines that might have a use for me and hopefully that could get me a press pass.

3.06.2002

The two men in my life that I care about greatly and I contact through e-mail have seemingly vanished. Or maybe they have lives.
Al seems to be going through some sort of transition thing right now that I don't understand and Micah my darling curly headed writing friend is in no-where Indiana sorting through some things of his own. I wish them the best and I hope they e-mail me soon.

Hopefully I'll be covering the B3's in Louisville, KY this year. I've gone the past several years and I've had a wonderful time. Maybe this year I'll take some pictures, write a lot, and if I can get in contact with the right people I could get a press pass so I can do interviews.
Bluetorch is a Sports Show/web site that covers snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing and other X-Games events. I would love the chance to get my photography published with my writing.

COps Brand Sausage!

I really hate cops. Once in my entire life have I thought "hey that cops doing a service, good for him." It was right after September 11 and I was living near an islamic mosque. One sunday morning I was walking somewhere and I happen to go past the mosque. There were a couple cops standing outside and I thought that it was really cool. Some frat-boy fuck could have got in his head that fucking with some muslims would be a "service to his country." Jesus Christ I hate frat boys too.
Anyway the recent hatefulness towards cops is due to a party I went to Thursday night. There were some spinners and a keg and yeah it was loud, but it was also in a neightborhood of no-one but college students so nobody cares right. So the cops so up as I was getting ready to leave anyway. Immediatly 30 kids totally scram out the back but I was in the entry room to the house anyway so I just thought I'd walk out the front door. I see a couple kids go out the front past the cops with-out any trouble but as soon as I want to leave...
Politley I ask the cop to excuse me so I can leave. She says, "where are you going." all kinds of shitty to me. So I say, "I'm leaving and you need to get out of my way because you can't keep me here." Of course her next question is "SO how much have you had to drink?" to which I respond "none" because I hadn't been drinking at all. " I need your I.D."
SO I gave her my ID and she said that if she tested me and I was lying about drinking she would arrest me. I told her again that I hadn't been drinking. SHe ran my ID and found nothing of course and then told me to leave.

I'm downloading mIRC right now so I can get a bunch of movies to watch.
The house was blessed with Nintendo, Super Nintedo, and a Sega and all at low low prices tonight. The whole setup and a few games for around $60! SCORE!
Cera's working with me at the telemarketing place now. She went in for an interview this afternoon and the manager told her to start tonight so she did. It's going to be awesome to not have to suffer through work without her.

I'm sitting here today definately dreading going to work. It snowed like an inch last night and it's still snowing. Man it sucks to have to ride a bike to work. I ran into a friend from High school at work last night and it was a total trip. After work she came over and hung out with the kids and I think she had a good time.
I'm glad I'm working again. It kindof feels good to know that I'm being productive and that things are going somewhere for me. I've decided to take my tax refund and go to California to see my bro Al. I'm sure that it will be a great time. How could I go to San Diego and not have a kick-ass time?

2.24.2002

Man, I havn't updated lately. This weekend Cera and I borrowed Ashley's car and went to Madison. It was fun. I miss my dad a lot. It was great to get to see him. Crazy stuff with Josh that made me shitty wierd for like two days, that's why I have not updated.
Lindsay is here!
Later...

TOnight I watched "Vanilla Sky" and I didn't hate it like I thought I would, actually it was pretty interesting. It felt much like a kubric film but not quite as cool. Good Musical selections such as the Spiritualized track which I like a lot and a couple really good Radiodhead songs. The plot felt shakier than it should have. There should have been more hintings at what exactly was going on. It was just a little hard to follow. Fast paced and didn't feel as long as it really was. Over all an excellent flick.


2.17.2002

The only thing that remains of last night are lingerings of the hazy twisted experience that it was. I always try to get people to describe to me what their experiences are like and sometimes I get really good descriptions but I have yet to find anyone who could even begin to describe the effects of shrooms. Maybe it's because it's different for everyone or becuase it's just so fucked up that it's very hard to communicate what's going on as you can see from my post last night. So I have two experiences from last night that I'm going to try to explain.
While I was at the show I sat in back and watched the band and the people walking around and talking. Looking at the whole scene felt relatively normal exept when I would look at say two people in a conversation it looked like a second of time would stop rewind and then play again. I could see normal things happening like someone walking across the room and people talking to me which made me really nervous because I was worried that I looked just as fucked up as everything appeared to me. The music sounded so fucked up and disorted it's ridiculous. If you play electric guitar you'll understand this next comment; I told Cera last night that it felt like the world was on delay.
Heavy tracers that at times were so long and fat that i could barely see what was going on in real time. Josh told me not to look at mirrors and now I know why. At some point I went to the bathroom to blow my nose and I just happened to look up at a mirror. It wasn't scary like I expected it to be it was just really twisted and distorted.
That's what happened to me last night.

2.16.2002

can't describe what's going on right now shrooms I ate earlier wonder what's going on.
We saw the 100's earlier. They were really good. Sometimes thingsa feel backwards. Music feels good. everything in rythymmm MMM goood. Yeah Yeah

2.15.2002

I'm off for an exciting fun filled evening B-town style. I think we're going to a house party for awhile then maybe a bar off Kirkwood called Uncle Festors. Should be super-fun whatever we do.

J-Rock rules by the way

2.14.2002

I GOT THE JOB! Finally I'm going to be part of the workforce again. I'm going to work my tail off making better money than I could anywhere else with my experience. This job is going to be a resume builder. I'm starting my life now. Things are getting better. I need to start looking at schools soon.
Happy V-Day everyone!

2.13.2002

I'm going to an interview in an hour. I'm seeing about a telemarketing job. It pays better than any other place I'm qualified to work for so why not.
I'm in a constant state of sleepiness. It sucks.

2.11.2002

I was told sternly that I should update my page. Dave this one is dedicated to you.
Micah wrote me a lengthy e-mail telling me to shape up and take action. I'm working on it. I have an interview for a telemarketing job on wed. Hopefully I can get this job and write Micah and tell him that 'Yes' I'm going to commit to Chicago and go up there to be productive for a year. I Love him and he's been really fucking cool to me. He's always honest and he's really interesting. I want him to be with us in Chicago and I want to follow through with this one.
Micah, come to Chi-town with us.

2.09.2002

I'm in Layfeyette, IN right now. We're hanging out with Cera's family. They're really funny. Aparently tonight we're going to see a jam band called "Lefty." It'll be fun if we can get into the bar. Eli's a little monster. Lata'

2.08.2002

It is just a ridiculously beautiful day today. I'm going to go outside, take my shoes off, and read a bit. I just started "Atlas Shrugged." Maybe I'll write some too. I got an e-mail from Micah today saying that he thinks moving to Chicago is a great idea. Yay! Maybe he'll come with us.
