644am. barrels and barrels of nothing. i lost my hard drive about a week ago so i have been working on getting back into the swing of things. i am thinking of adding an archive page and keep all of last years entries on a seperate page. i'll work on that stuff later. i need to get to work on a few other things. like what you ask? well i haven't the slightest clue. but i will do them. it is nearly 7am and i stayed up all night doing laundry. i am not tired whatsoever so maybe i'll just stay up (most likely ill be in bed in a bit). oh well i'll end this now.
712pm. james is here. so far we've been busy doing stuff around town. we saw hank3 and assjack last night. was amusing. i bought a shirt yesterday and i also got a parking ticket. sigh. oh well. i'll send my bills off later today. thats about it. we be izzin in da crib. swing by if ya know where it is. oh well seinfeld will be on shortly. time to go have a laugh.
404am. therapy went well. i helped mike wash his car. man did that thing need a cleaning. i have also been cleaning my apartment in spurts. my room is suprisingly clean. now i just have to work on the den. i'll have to do that tomorrow. i can't wait to begin this noise project. but i really have to clean this place up. i'll continue this later. its 430am.
2am. well its valentine's day. hey, you're part of it! oh well. i have therapy later on. that should be interesting. i also have to remember to make a few calls too. exciting is hardly the word. i did some reviews for PlasticRandom.net. head on over there and leave comments. also i've been mixing up some dub. defacto to be exact. i enjoy it. James comes into town this weekend. i still haven't cleaned a damn thing. looks like i shall be a busy bee all tomorrow. Mike and i decided that we need to acquire a copy of Radiohead's Pablo Honey. if anyone out there reading this has a copy contact me! we/i need a copy. tomorrow will be the last day of solo cartel. it will now be James and Cartel. i have a crew. blood, it's thicker than water, that's what the tell me. take heed nephew, don't fuck with my family.
710am. wow my head hurts. My friend james is moving down here this week. now on with the show. i'm in the process of moving my pictures to a site that allows browsing. my head REALLY hurts.
what indeed is up? well a lot has been happening. i ordered cannibal: the musical, should be here soon! i cant wait. however i want a dvd now. t2 judgement day is calling my name.
518am. well head on over here. i do a column over there and well you should read it if you read this. i will be doing reviews on that site so if you want me to review something just send me an email. i have insomnia (again). i saw a movie today. actually two. american pie 2 was the one i just finished watching. heh, i love alyson hannigan. sigh. oh well. maybe one day ill meet her and tell her that in person. only 4 degrees of people seperate us. kinda neat huh? well that wasn't really the movie i wanted to tell you about; bottle rocket was. go see this movie. from the people that brought you rushmore and the royal tenenbaums. it was their 1st film. it is now one of my favorite movies of all time. "He's out. And you're out, too. And I dont think I'm in, either. No gang!" its much funnier if you had seen the movie. the entire movie is hystarical (sp). so many quotes from that movie. it is a definite must see. why are you still reading this? go rent it already. ok fine so your waiting to buy it. well i found mine at the video store but i'm sure you can find it online. well i now leave you with this; Hasta la vista, baby.
132am. yea ive been slacking here. but ive been busy. just had to add one thing atm. green light blue light. go and somewhere.
221pm. ok well ive been back in town for a while. nothing much really going on. ok well thats a lie, a lot is going on i just dont really care to acknowlege it. how was your vacation? mine went pretty well. id like to give high lights so ill just include some quotes. "thats bird food" "we should feed him some caulk" "hey thank you guys" "We're going to richmond!" "shut up pantera shirt guy" "whats with the fruits singing?" "no its just a game, its not my life" ""oh you're cartel, ive heard a lot about you,' what the fuck does that mean!" that is all for now. ill post more at another time. and maybe ill up my pics too.
430am. ok well maybe you were directed here from this page. well its a possibliity so ill post the pic links here (of me, Cartel) and here (of Mike). ok so now that the pics are fixed on with this entry. ive been either up for too long or bored outta my mind and refusing to sleep lately. i did get a number to a therapist so ill give him a call after i return from my trip. to is the 19th and i am going to pic up mike's dad at the airport and then once mike gets outta class head on up to Virginia. 3 dood's, 12-13 hours, shouldn't be that bad. i hope to see a lot of people up there. you may ask if i have any plans? well i dont. ill be around. i really wish i had more things to say, but i dont. well i do i just would rather not bitch. ill wait til i get back from therapy. one thing though if you're gonna bring some shit while im around then how bout you just not hang w/me ok? sounds fair enough. i would like to keep some sanity while im a guest. alright im outta here for now. i'll update when i get back from my adventures. hopefully i wont be committed.
931am. well i havent really slept in a few days. its all just been one long time. nothing, and i mean nothing, at all is going on. i want to say YAY for the lions who won yesterday. 1st time this season. lets see if i can fill you in with some other things. me and mike are driving up wed. night to va bch. hope to see ya there, well if ya live there. ok enough of this for now. not a damn thing is up.
904am. whats up? yea nothing happening here. i did watch a movie last night, o brother where art thou. amazing. brilliant. its a cohen brothers movie based on homer's oddessey. its set 1930's mississippi (i think). and its amazing. and watching it, it just makes you appreciate the epic The Odessey. the story itself is similar to a cohen brother film. well if i talk about this anymore im gonna ruin it. i must say the music in the movie is amazing. im gonna have to pick up the soundtrack. i know i know its all country, old time, whatever but its all been remasted. the cd contains songs that are oringinal recordings over 50-75 years old and some new tunes as well. i am such an audio geek. well thats the end of this post. consider o brother where art thou. i enjoyed it. =D
520am. not tired. not really anything. im air-drumming at the moment. man i want my drum set. well i ended up beating that laser/reflection game. id throw up the link if i had it but i dont and im to lazy to look for it. well its 534am now. im gonna watch a movie or read a book. ill wake up and do nothing. hope your day is better than mine.
514am. im sooo bored. not tired whatsoever. i guess ill record some stuff when i wake up. i now have a stomach ache. i dont really know why. i really want a tattoo. well i just want to feel something. physical pain has replaced emotional pain. my love of drugs/alcohol/being fucked up has replaced my heartache. its an excuse. ive always been good at finding excuses for myself. i have no regrets though. heh, my life should be a movie. well im sure everyone thinks that. but well mine would be just all flashbacks to the past and backstory. so maybe one day ill be able to sleep like a normal human. ugh. im gonna go watch another movie ive seen a gazillion times.
452am. i am awakened in a dream state. i saw someone in my apt. but no one but me is here. am i going insane? i dont want to sleep anymore. it was so real though. i opened my eyes and someone was there. im left to wonder what has caused that. i should probablly find a thearapist this week.
215pm. im just chilling after my fight with the porcelin god. i got a tenacious d bootleg last night and its awesome. at the moment im listening to Oysterhead. its one strange cd but its incredible. i want to put together a super group. sorry i got distrated by the music. it is incredible. this cd just might make me remove my faith no more tape from my car. this cd is just weird, but my god is it good. ok enough of this post. im gonna enjoy this cd.
535am. i got digits. need i say more? i have it under control. now just hope it's not a fake number. well my main goal tonight was to talk to this one hardcore girl. i've seen her around and stuff and i figured the sick of it all show, she has got to be there. so yea mission accomplished. i talked to her and that was my goal for tonight (that and not dying). alright. next thought. why can't i sleep anymore. anyways. tonight was some fun. im gonna try to go back to bed now, cuz its 613am.
405pm. went to hooters last night with the k-$$ and pay-pah aka azn mike. so we all got some wings and some beers and enjoyed the oakland victory over arizona. afterwards we all split up. i came home and immediately got an IM from the snake eyes aka spiegler. requesting my company for some drinks. i was down with drinking some more. he came over and we jammed for a bit. he also brought a copy of Jawbreaker's Dear You. one of the best albums ever. listening to that album makes me wanna break out thier other albums. i remembered why they are such a good band. and it goes back to listening to an album, reading the lyrics and listening to it, and then listening a third time. "My enemies are all too familar, They're the ones that call me friends." so that quote isnt from dear you, go somewhere its what im playing now. i had some fun yesterday and last night. and its now 5pm. and ill finish this later.
730pm.im listening to the get up kids' four minute mile lp. im reading along with the lyrics. this is how i used to listen to records. i would listen to it once for overall sound. then read the lyrics as it plays. then listen an ponder what the album rates. this one is just incredible. i think the best way to describe it is youthful. the love in the record is so young, and not fake, but at the same time its the love you had when you were young, before you were crushed by the one(s) you love. who would've thought that as you get older you change. you don't notice it yourself. but well maybe you do. you just don't see it happening. maybe we change every day. and you dont really notice it until all the little changes add up to a really big change. this album got me though sooo many nights as a delivery driver. god i used to listen to this like 3 times in a row. deliver to hot girls. and run back to my car so i could just sing along. "I don't want you to love me anymore!!!!!" thx bam for asking me about them. i forgot how much i LOVE this record. "think of what the 2 of us could do. i guess we'll never know." phew. lots of old emotions there. and i feel sooo much better now that ive got this album again. its now 8pm and the cds almost over. :D "ill bet you never find another friend like me."
451pm. no ticket. war on god. kiwi berry ruckus. 534pm. god i have nothing really to talk about. well actually i do. i just refuse to. its always hard to be truly honest with myself. No fun, this is no fun, staring at the wall.
206pm. 213 now. so many things to say. but i dont really want to say them. had fun last night. i got a hat. and a few more scars from drinking. im not going to dc this week. oh well. 219 now. All men have secrets. ive become distracted. 228 now. when i got the music i got a place to go. i am a space traveller.
451am. well since the last update was so short ill explain why. spiegler got outta class and was like lets drink. so he came over we drank and listened to old skool records. my der golem poster arrived. and i picked up a new book. and the k-$$ and i got some sticky. ive been watching a lot of movies too. but im not gonna watch taxi driver, the outsiders, or high life for a while. such great movies but i should have known better than to watch all three in a short time period. i watched a movie with the best unexpected ending though. hard core logo. kinda like a punk rock spinal tap. i must pick up the book it was based on. ok ive now drawn a blank. time to escape my troubles.
1241am. well i read a lot today. nothing really else to do. i also ran to barnes n noble and got a new book. i have no food. i guess ill have to go to the store tomorrow. all the days are bleeding together. would you like to bleed with me? well it appears im going to DC next week. uh ohh new plans bbl.
10am. so its been a while. how was your thanksgiving? ill refrain from unnecessary rants at the moment. i lost my cable tv the other day and i have just been izzin on the computer and going out when i can. last night was interesting. mike's parents broke down not too far from his place so i got to see all of his family for the 1st time in a long time. heh its always good to see them too. i dont really know why its just one of those things were it puts a smile on your face. afterwards spiegler called me up and we drank a few and then jammed. i wanna play some more. i miss it. i want to be a rock star. well not really. but i just wanna get up on stage and kick people in the head. i wish i could sleep for more than 5 hours at a time. and i wish metal didn't annoy me at the moment. for some reason metal is too slow for me. i have been listening to noise, "Merzbow" i highly recommend it organized chaos and you've gotta love the noise. not for the weak minded. and it should only be played on good speakers so you can acutally hear what he is doing with all this noise. it is now 1022am and i want to sleep but i need tv to put me to sleep. and then i broke my telescope. i wish i didnt have bills to pay. i really want a tattoo. now that im done with my piercings i want new forms of body mods. all i really want is a new form of pain. i end my ranting now. possible big news in the next few days. i'll keep you posted. now enjoy your sunday.
1134pm. I am 92% Metal-Head.
I was born with the mark of the beast on my forehead and an axe in my arms. I am the god of all things metal! Now if only I could get my parents to give me back my car keys.....
Take the Metal-Head Test at Fuali.com!
1212pm. i got a 4track from musical mike last night. messed around with it for a bit but nothing much. over the next few days i think ill be recording some of my stuff. noise, ambient choas. maybe some of my old stuff too. i just feel like i should be doing something. when i do this i dont think im gonna go outside unless i truly have a breakdown. my mind is on the verge of losing it and i dont know how to really explain it. the word or letter I has become my favorite word/letter. it makes me happy to write that. i am enjoying being selfish/selfcentered. for once im not worried about other people. well not entirely true. but i know everyone is doing well. well not everyone. but the people i talk to regularly. besides all problems everyone is having are in no comparaisson to my family's/my problem. maybe i should reread my books on my bookself. god i hate emo. i truly believe that emo makes you sad. and you dont just get sad and throw on an emo record. you are sad and you decide to gain attention by trying to say hey look im emotionally unstable. fuck that. you just suck. its just music with actual feeling. after listening to it for years i can finnally just say yea i dont mind it. but i still love the oringals. but that also counts in all music. i enjoy music. its my life. its what im gonna do for the rest of my life. oh well this has become a rant. and its ok. you're still reading this. shouldnt you be looking for pr0n on the net or something. bah. stay metal. live your life and die.
115pm. i watched the omen last night. afterwards i go to lie down and get reayd to sleep and rosemary's baby comes on tnt. after that i couldnt sleep. im too fasinated with the devil. im too metal for my own good. ive had this dream to score a film since i was 14. i wish i had a better background in composing. i need to borrow a 4 track from someone. i want to record what ideas i have. my thoughs are so cluttered today. i need sleep.
8am. so you want some advice for today? kill yourself. thats right just fucking do it. do it before you get infected with anthrax or before nuclear bombs start dropping. i cant sleep and patriot just came on the playlist. D. W. I. it is now 840am. i need sleep. someone kill me.
815am. is it bad that i cant sleep for longer than 5 hours at a time? i got my ears streched yesterday. pic 2. i now i have 0 gauge plugs in my ears and my 12 gauge orbitals. psst thats 6 total holes in my ear. so last night i watched the second half of the big lebowski. =D such a good movie with so many memorable quotes. "Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski." You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing." ive been cleaning up my apt. i dont mind living in my 'mess,' it is organized the way i like it. looks like this week ill be making cds and stuff for people. what is in your cd player right now? i hate to admit this but i have the strokes. they are a good band but the hype for this band is worse than then hype for star wars episode 1. they just dont deserve this much hype. i understand music at the moment is bland, safe and we do need something new to hit. but not a band like the velvet underground or old stones. oh well. one day ill put out my cd and you'll shit yourself. litteraly. 7Hz is the frequency that rumbles your stomach and just makes you crap your pants. i must start to design speakers that can handle reproducing such a low frequency, then i have to design an amp to power the speaker, but then we would have sonic weapons. you can also atomize water with 25kHz at 180dB. you could actually vaporizing ray. think about it. now if we can just get started on the tube technology, we'll never use cars again. well i have rambled on for long enough. enjoy my scrambled thoughts.
210pm. well my car is ready. i wont have money to pay for it until tomorrow. i hope i can find a ride to get my car. last night mike and i went out and grabbed a few things that were on sale. we took these pictures. enjoy. i also watched the exorcist last night. one great movie. well today is the death cab for cutie show. should be an emo fest. but ill just have a few beers and enjoy myself. ok lata for now my nephews.
345pm.To whom it may concern. well my car is still in the shop. i paid all my bills today and im gonna spend the rest of the day in my apt. ill give a better and bigger update later. but for now enjoy the instructions.
9am. i have returned. i saw my grandma and i said good bye. it was sad to look into the eyes of someone you have known for so long and them to not recognize yourself. well it happens. day 2. i met up with some friends from irc/tribes. ikonis and his friend robert grabbed me in garland and we just went all over the place. the flying saucer ruled. with over 300 beers on the menu i didnt know what to get. afterwards we ended up hangin out w/ ice and some other guys and some 17 yr old girl (she turns 18 next week). after she left it was apparent she was just a ho. after that drinkin we went to dennys then home. i woke up the next day and had a late lunch with scott/ikonis. afterwards i met up with my friend who i've known since i was like 2 1/2 - 3 years old. we met up with some of his teammates from his soccer team and checked out a dallas sidekicks game and afterwards watched game 6 of the world series at HOOTERS. one of the guys dates a hooters girl so it wasnt really bad. besides all i did was joke everyone in hooters and then attempt to spit game on the girls. by the end of the night i think we offended a good majority of them. one girl though, mary, was cool as shit. she seemed interested in the 3 of the single doods. but then slowly each one of them backed down. i didnt back down but i had no clue what i was doing. i mean she was like in some town. and i was like ohh? i live in orlando. i have no clue where you live. oh well i walked her to her car and i told randy's girlfriend to say wussup for me. oh well. fun was had with the hooters girl. we hit up a club after having drinks. i hate breaks. after wards we hit up the clubhouse. yes thats right, Pantera's strip club. :) say what you want but that was fun. those were the adventurs in texas. it was what i needed after my 'drama fest' in virginia. well im through talking for now. besides its 930am. im gonna get some sleep.
645am.Check out this fun lil game. well i leave to texas really soon. mike is on his way to take me to the airport. while in texas im gonna see my metal cousin, a friend i have known since i was 3, and meet an online friend ikonis. should be fun at times but over all pretty boring. it always is. oh well at least i can look forward to going to pantera's strip club. oh well. halloween was fun. some metal was played some beers were drank some fun was had. im not sure if ill be updating this page in texas. i doubt it. i think ill just be hanging out with family or hanging with friends. i wanna say this though. to my friends in virginia: we had fun did we not? it would have been nice to not have soo much down time but still it was fun. well im off now. see ya when i get back.
830am.I have returned from my trip to Virginia and i leave for Texas tomorrow morning. i dont plan on posting my thoughts on the trip just yet. i will say this though. i am emotionally cold. i feel nothing.
on another note. today is halloween. its a tradition for me to listen to metal all day long and just have a good time. i got woken up today at 8am by the car shop telling me i needed a new starter. my dad said he'll transfer the money to me to get it out today if its ready but im not really depending on him. oh well ill get my car this monday when i return from texas i hope. texas should be fun. well not really but i want to fool myself. i get to see my cousin, a friend of mine i met when i was riding my dukes wheel/big wheel, and meet an online friend too. i plan on hitting up pantera's strip club just to say i've been there.
215pm. well im in virginia and nothing really has been going on. i have seen 99% of everyone that i wanted to. tonight is 80's night and i am suppose to go. i dont know if i will though. its been a hectic week though. i shall see what is going on tonight and weigh out my options as they are presented to me. Paper Napkins. i hope to return home soon. who knows what is instore for me. i have had a lot of fun since ive been here. but, i have also had a lot of down time too. oh well. it happens. who knows maybe people will start to grow up a bit and realize how dumb they actually are. until that day just Go Somewhere.
730am. well tomorrow i start my trek to virginia. i dont know what time im leaving here. or even when i should arrive. but for those who asks for some cds i have them. nick: i have your boots. i dont even think nick reads this but im giving him a shout out anyways. i just got home from chillin w/mike n shit we went to walmart for some stuff and i picked up a pack of lighters. before we hit up walmart i was burning cd's from my mp3 collection. made a few mix cds but most of the ones that i burned were all albums, ep's, and stuff that i want but never bought. well im gonna go crash out now. The Inalienable Dreamless.
323am. well im about to head to sleep soon. i have been drinking since monday night football started. the cowboys won for those who care. i stopped by kevin's to say whats up and stuff and have a few with him. i helped him out with his site. it is still in development state but he's my boy so i showed hims whats up. current music mood = death cab for cutie - we have the facts and we're voting yes. i wonder if half the people who should be reading this even do? if you do and i dont know it drop me an email. the link is at the top. just say hi is all i ask. i am at the moment enjoying some pitas and hummus. for those who want to knwo whats up with mike/papa and derek/splat they seem to have lost their cable connection. Mother, tell your children not to walk my way. Danzig - Sistinas go get that song. you'll love it.
1140pm. well i didnt sleep last night. so at 1015am i went and got burger king breakfast. mmm. cini-minis rule. anyways NEW Developments in my visit to virginia. No date is set yet. but i am hoping for a wed. or thurs. road trip. no word on where i will be staying either. i also might no disclose that information unless its a need to know basis. know this though. i will be having fun. if you've got drama bring it no where near me please (thx). currently i am having a fine brew. anyways im out.
333am. well i just ran to 7-11 and here is the events that happend while i was there. "hey how ya doing? ya know i cant serve you beer at this hour right?" and i respond "yes i know." so i grab my OJ and Coca Cola. i go up to the counter and he asks what i have at home to go with this "vodka and what rum?" i correct him by stating "vodka and whiskey." even he called me out on my drinking. heh. oh well. these screwdrivers sure are tasty.
1am. well its official. i am visiting virginia beach in the NEAR future. im not too sure on what is happening there but for those who read this here is my announcement that i am coming to town. i am not sure when but most likely within the week. i did not accomplish any of my goals today. too much bull has been happening down here. i need a break from this 'hell' but i dunno. maybe i just need a job asap. i wish i could some how transfer all my memories onto some storage medium. so i could show people i meet in the future and people from the past what i have done and will do. i guess thats why they are called memories. Johnny Thunders said it best; "you can't put your arms around a memory." now i know he didnt write a song that wasnt about heroin/being a junkie but that is still one of the best songs ever written. i guess i must continue to 'rock it like johnny thunders,' 'keep rockin like dokken' and to quote myself from my graduation speech "stay metal."
915pm. alright i picked up dark age of camelot today. i cant play it. i have a v3 3k. its no good. thanx derek/splat. oh yea derek is soo queer. he watches survivor. ok well im gonna fuck around the apt.
915pm. ok well i just got back from the store and off the phone and reading my mail. yes my snail mail. stephanie sent me the best gift i had gotten in a few years. she baked me cookies. 100% homemade. no store bought premade stuff. she also took some pictures of the WTC attack and i got copies. i love them. i want to hang them up cuz they are amazing. i also got some money from my grandparents today and a bill for my power. i am suppose to fly to texas pretty soon. im going to call my parents tonight and see what is up with that. i also watched the Godfather part 1 today. ill watch parts 2 and 3 within the week. the godfather is definately one of my favorite movies. and this DVD collection rules. i am gonna have to clean/organize my room to show off my movie collection and my cd collection. well nothing is happening tonight. ill probally just watch godfather part 2. maybe ill have a glass of wine or a beer or something. i dunno. i must learn how to make a martini. well this post is done. i keep walking away from the computer and avoiding finishing so ill just end it now.
10am. i cant sleep. well i tried to but failed. you can see pics of my graduation here. i am going to pick up my copy of the godfather dvd today. now im really tired. yesterday kevin and i went through my cd's looking for stuff that we wanted to hear. i found my converge. i must say it is one awesome cd. the intro is just amazing. i also found my copy of cave-in's beyond hypothermia. that was when cave-in was a metal band not that radiohead wannabe they are now. i think if i totally changed styles i would have just renamed my band. especially if i was in some kick ass metal band and then we put out 'expiremental' songs. i also found an old venom cd. inside the case i found an empty baggy. why am i posting that i found an empty bag o'herion? i dunno. i think it just makes me more comfortable somehow. i cannot explain it. at the time i enjoyed it. and well i made the descision to do it. hell you only live once. when you are young you dont really think of your future. you just think the struggle is you vs. them. too bad no one tells you that it is really just you vs. yourself. the only one holding you back is yourself.
ok new thought. new paragraph. to conform or to rebel? i wish i was still the kid i was before. 21 and life to go. i got a hole in my jacket. burned through by your cigarette. there is a new remastered journey collection. i must pick it up. i always forget that when you cut any type of medium for music it must be mastered for each form. it is now 1030. so many things i want to say but i just cannot put them in words.
well i have graduated. i have turned 21. and this is my 1st sober day since then. my car battery died last night. i got that fixed this morning. thx JB. kevin swung by in between his classes. we went through my cds, heh, Here's to you, Johnny. well anyways that was my day today. i just havent been feeling well with my parents around and stuff. i am going to be flying to texas quite soon. my grandmother has at the most 8 months to live. while i am there i am also going to hang out with my metal cousin. he and i were never really 'cool.' he's a good guy and all, i guess, he's just they type of person who i don't like. speaking of not liking someone. grant has been underfire on johnny's livejournal in the replies section. now i dont know why im mad. but if i find out this is someone i know who posted i may have to drive up there and punch you. if you are going to talk shit do it to their face. do go posting that is just way too lame. i seem to be under a lot of frustration lately. i dont know what it is. i am currently feeling really shitty. im out of school with nothing to do. and i mean nothing. i found an awesome web site today. here is the link. the page has lyrics to some dillinger escape plan songs. and if you have not heard of the band yet you might want to check out this page. and if you state that they suck die. ill have pictures of graduation up here soon. maybe in a 2nd post or tomorrow. my new 52" television rules. i love using it for games and movies. but i think in the next few days im going to re-arrange my room so i can have more space.

the new Tenacious D album RULES!. go pick it up. well its 2 days til i turn 21. i woke up today to kevin stopping by my crib. he's lab got post poned and he just chilled as i was sleeping. later i took him to class and then i went shopping for house/apt. stuff. last night i picked up an elvis picture. it rules. ill throw a pic of it soon. oh yea the reason why im posting now. well im checking the liner notes on the D's album and who's name do i see. warren fitzgerald. yes of the vandals. he plays lead guitar on most of the tracks. oh yea some guy named grohl also did drums but whatever. weird. anyways my hippie aunt is in town. she called but i missed the call. oh well. here's to a fun week.
340am. well i just got in from being out. well out walking. looking for a place to go to. so i got a 98 on both the ssl exit and the amek boards. 400am wow im gonna stop this. well this post. peace for now.
430 am. in 24 hrs i will be finished with my school. this is it, dont get scared now. i cant believe this is happening. im excited, happy, proud but at the same time i am a little emo. i am listening to murder city devils. it's a great band and a great song. 364 days you can get it off of mp3.com. sorry im too lazy to put in a link right now. cuz im gonna head to bed. but i just wanna say thank you to all those who helped me along the way. wish me luck on the exams.
136am what am i doing up? well i took a four hour nap once Mowat said he couldnt make it up here. so i went to walmart when i woke up at 1030. i picked up some dr. thunder, a & w root beer, and some razors. i also grabbed a new pair of jeans cuz my old ones have just fallen apart. so i'm bored YET again. suprise. at the moment im talking to ben using this amazing communication tool called aim. we're talking about people we know from the south virgina area. see i used to live there. is it home? no. but it is where a few of my friends are. where is home? i have no home. my home is where i sleep at night. can i ever return and live with my parents? hell no. ok enough of that rant. i got side tracked. well we are talking about people we know in virginia. i cant say friends cuz well some of them i dont know at all, some of them i know a bit, and some of them i just dont care bout. now im gonna add a little disclaimer here. if you ever have a problem with what i say take it up with me. 2 major reasons for this. 1. you're standing up for yourself and 2. maybe there is no number 2. maybe you should go somewhere! maybe i should sleep. i seem to be drifting thought. ok i remember why i brought this up. you have your entire life ahead of you. where do you see yourself in 5 mins? 5 years? most of you are still dreaming of this 5 year place. are you ever gonna get off your ass and work towards it? being a free thinker got you here. where is it gonna take you next? on yet another side note there is a girl with a G.B.H. t shirt on mtv. i wonder if she even knows what G.B.H. means. or the fact that they had to change their name to Charged G.B.H. end of thought. where is my mind? i think im gonna watch Rebel Without A Cause. cuz its one of the best movies of all time and it shows just what it means to live for now. end of transmission.
alright so its been awhile since i updated. its 730 in the morning and i just cant sleep. i have an interview with my placement advisor today at 1130. bob marley is on mtv right now. i dont know why but this is just really odd. ok so thats the beginning of the return. i feel i need to post here because well everyone else is talking about the terrorist attacks so i should to. the only reason i havent talked to anyone about them really is cuz i have just become frustrated with this whole punk rock/rebellious attitude of that this isnt your country. That is total BULL! If this isn't your country then where the fuck is your country? If someone hit your girl would you stand up for her? or would you just be like whatever? Now i know this isnt the best analogy but well we just got bitch slapped (to say the least) and i think retalliation is just natural. Stop being such a fucking pussy. If you dont wanna serve your country become a consciencious objector. you're all scared that you are gonna get killed for something you dont believe in? well what do you not believe in? you go to school so you can get a job in the USA, you work in the USA, you get paid in USA funds. i just dont see how this isnt your country.
now that i've said that in my fragmented thought process go and examine it and call me dumb. but see ive just seen too much. living in another country for 2.5 years can really change a few things on your outlook of life. on a side note there is a guy with a jean vest on mtv. my vest is still better but maybe they are making a comback? i guess if they do then that means im In Style. :D ok now lets see where was i? ok so umm yea ill go into music for a bit now. i graduate on the 5th of october. i turn 21 on the 3rd. i have 1 week left of classes. you dont know how ready i am to start working and work my way up. if anyone needs a recording engineer/assistant my contact info is up at the top. this past weekend my lab group recorded a boy band and then i mixed and mastered it. im pleased with the results. i have to send it to them but they said this might mean some credit on an album. that would be cool. the underground music man with credit on some boy band's album
ok this is the end for my post for now. but i shall return to posting. it is fun.
12 noon. OMG 2 updates in 1 day! the end of the world is near. well i missed my placement meeting but i went ahead and emailed him and hopefully he'll write back really soon. woo hoo he just wrote back. no harm done. currently i have my entire mp3 directory in my playlist. right now dashboard confessional is playing. before it was dashboard it was Fantomas. oh by the way mike patton (of faith no more, fantomas, mr. bungle fame) is doing the vocals on the new dillinger escape plan cd. he also has YET ANOTHER BAND tomahawk. i havent heard this one yet but how could it suck? its another super group. Also if you haven't checked out tiger army then i highly recommend it. it rocks almost as hard as johnny thunders. speaking of johnny i am currently reading a book about his life. well im gonna get ready for lecture.
two hours til lab. well i have a few updates to do so here they are. if you have about an hour to kill check out this. some really good and funny stuff there. i also saw exit wounds today. good stuff. well if you came here i might as well direct you to this page here. and i know i might be a little flaky but check out this and go see this movie.
well it has been a while since i did an update. i had a few things i wanted to do but with my site getting deleted for a few days i didnt really wanna do anythign to it. i guess that shows how lazy i am. well its nearly 2am and i have class tomm. i should head to bed. =\
a second update. it appears that my page was deleted entirely. so ill be upping some old pictures real soon. while i am workin on that why not check grab your google toolbar.
well it has been a few days since i made an update. i have been pretty busy with classes and all. well nothing really exciting has been happening. you might wanna go check out ninja burger. i hope everyone had a safe St. Patrick's Day. i busted out the old consoles and games for a while. well that is all i have at the moment. i am in the middle of doing my laundry and i am still a little bored and i do not know what i am doing later today. ugh.
cs1.1 came out today. did you get your copy? yea so today was pretty pointless. meaning that i went to class and came home, got my cs1.1 patch, then just sat on the computer all day. however i did manage to win 80's music trivia on tsn. ive also been listening to the Thursday cd a lot. oh yea go ahead and head over to grand royal and sign up to win your very own beastie boy action figures. heh. well its nearly 1 am and i have class at 9am so i better head to bed.
well i have been listening to that Thursday cd all today and i HIGHLY recommend it. it will be in stores april 10, 2001. it is just a great cd. im gonna let my lab group hear it this week and that should be a real test. well its 2:16 in the am and ive been playing diablo 2 for the past 2 hours. im stuck on one level and i just cannot go any further. i have killed the boss but i cannot seem to pick up that damned malus. sigh... well my ears seem to be healing nicely. the count down to my spring break has begun. 5 weeks and i shall be in virginia. (some how i am not REAL excited) but i will be out of florida so i think i will be just fine. well i have a 1pm lab later today so i might as well clean my ears and then head to bed.
well i got my car insurance bill today. but i also got the Thursday cd from Victory Records. the cd is really good. i highly suggest it if you are into bands like At the Drive-In or glassJAw.
i have been playing a lot of counter strike lately. as a side note the cs1.1 comes out tommorrow so pick that up if you play Counter Strike. well that is all for now.
ok so another update. well nothing really exciting happened today. i dont even think i went outside at all except to smoke a cigarette.
so i guess i should throw up some links. well how about this site here. well this update is kinda
short and pointless. ill come back after lab today and do another one. sound good? i thought so.
[01:26] {Ass|afk} Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a rock.
well its still the 11th so this isn't going to be a real update. im just gonna fix some links and add a few. so here you go check this movie trailer out final fantasy. yea it should kick some ass. well i guess i should also direct you to a nother cool page of interest here. yea so its a common site for dorks but its still a good site. well since i got my ears pierced with 10s i better go clean them up now. ill get another update really soon.
so this is a picture i took on christmas 2000. what do you think of it? looks good eh? well since this is like my 1st ever real post on this webpage i might as well make it count.
i bet you are wondering what type of page this will be? or you may have just found this on accident. either way it should be interesting. ohh im sorry, i forgot to introduce myself. my name is cartel.
hi. so um yea this page is up and i hope to soon be adding a few cool things (what exactly? im not sure yet). well i guess i should give you something for coming here. so here is my album of the week:
Murder City Devils - Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts its out on sub pop records. pick it up if you like good rock n roll. well hopefully ill be doing more of this.
any ways go ahead and email me HERE
