Dear Livejournal,
My life is so awful right now. Some stupid person is being nasty, so my life sucks. The doctor told me I might have a spleen infection, which will make my pee smell like carrots. The other day, my cat fell in a well and drowned; I might slit my wrists so that I may see her again. The grocery store is out of my favorite ice cream, so i'm going to sallow vanilla flavored pills instead. I also have severe diarrhea...
Woe is me. The universe is personally targeting me for misery and destruction. I think God doesn't like me or something, cause he always picks on me and not the other kids. It's everyone's fault...
except me of course.
Not really, hahaha... shits peachy. Just felt the urge to do a fake post. I hate reading actual shit like this. People need to get over themselves. |

So wow... good few months of music coming up. If anyone wants to go to any of these shows let me know!!! They're all at GLOW in DC, and promise to be fucking awesome.
Sat Feb. 7th - Ferry Corsten (Progressive, electro pop type trance)
Sat Feb. 21st - Above & Beyond (One of my favorite groups. Progressive, melodic, uplifing trance) I'll be at this one with or without people.
Thurs. Mar 19- Armin Van Buuren. #1 himself... live. I always end up having a gig when Armin is in town, but this is an AMAZING show. Barring any last minute bookings, i'll be at this one too. Progressive, uplifting, ambient trance. Amazing vocals.
Three awesome acts in a two month span. Amazing! |

True to history, it's been over a year since my last update. I'm still living in Bethany, although I no longer work at my menial coffee shop job. In October, after a particularly insulting day of work, I told my boss to go shove it and quit. I'm now writing, freelance, for a local newspaper and, since DJing has picked up, living off my music.
I feel as if I'm finally starting to find a peace within my life, entirely due to the fact that my music is going well. It's awful to say that I can't hold a job without being miserable, but I can't. Perhaps it's a nice failsafe that's been engineered into my genetics to keep me safe from the dreaded cubicle.
I've met a lot of musicians and artists out here at the beach, and gotten some good networking going. The scene here seems to be stirring up a bit recently, and lots of people are coming out of the woodwork. Theres a nice energy, and support network; and lots of people are interested in bouncing ideas off each other. Theres a collaborative album in the works.
The solo project, as always, is coming along; but ultimately delayed by my hyper-criticism of myself, and general laziness. Also that my style has been evolving a lot recently. I feel like I've really crossed a new threshold with my art. I'm more aware of myself, and I feel as if I'm finally growing into my own skin. It's a wonderful evolutionary process, and it reaffirms that I'm doing what I am meant to.
On a lighter note, the new Apop cd, Rocket Science, is pretty good. It's definitely not the Welcome to Earth years anymore, but more so than with Against the World he's fitting into the new sound. Check it out |

| The weekend |
[Feb. 5th, 2007|01:30 pm] |
| [ | mood |

This weekend was interesting to say the least. Friday, I drove down to Winchester; stopped by the Bowsers' house to say hallo and send them on their way (to the strip club for Dave's B-Day) then drove to game. Game was slow for the most part, consisting mostly of PC interaction and general debauchery. While Orpheus was busy getting everyone buzzed, Reggi was busy pissing off the anarchs. After game wrap, the Brujah jumped Reggi for being a chode, and smoked his ass. PROBLEM SOLVED!!! w00t. Caught the news at Erik's and commenced with the celebrations. Brady, Erik and the Wife, Matty, Monkey and I enjoyed a night of frivolity.
Saturday, woke up and did that thing we do whilst watching Adam Sandler movies. Left around noon-ish and stopped by Frederick to see teh Kenny. Chilled there for an hour or so then left for P-hall and nostalgia. Saturday night was the annual Wynn family open house. Caught up with most of the old gang (Brandon, Matt, Adam, Bill, and Aaron). Left around 9:45 and rolled out to game to witness the resounding "...meh" that accompanied Reggi's death. Socialized for a bit then made the long trek home.
Sunday, I woke up for the work and was nearly out the door before I checked my phone messages to find out I was dropped from the schedule. Still broke, but happy none the less, I rolled my ass back into bed and slept half the day away. Drove to Jeremy's for the big game. Chilled with Ronnie, Coutrney, Cody, Derek, Jeremy and a few other guys/gals I hadn't met before. I was rooting against the Colts, but I'm happy for their coach. Had some beers, and a generally good time.
Over all it was a pretty good weekend. Nothing too exciting, but nothing to complain about either. Thanks to everyone who was involved in the nonsense! |

And in case any of you are reading this, and remaining indifferent i'll offer you some incentive. If you need a reason beyond i'm asking you to get involved with this, do it to shut fuckers like this guy up...

Where does this Republican dick head get off thinking he can write this... I thought we made it illegal to be a racist fuck. After reading that article, I screamed, and then felt the urge to excrete every last piece of feces from my body. I desire to remove everything that might remind me of that writer from my life, and shit was the first thing to come to mind. I'm so furious I could burn people, like children. My only comfort comes in knowing that this man has, truly, sold his soul. |

In response to the unjust arrest of two men (one of which is friends with my buddy Star) in Boston for posting images around the city I have created the new icon. Anyone who would like to tell the government to quit being uptight pricks, and respect free expression, feel free to take it.
As a side note, after looking at photos of the actual objects that caused the scare (small, thin, plastic looking circuit board type things) it is my sincere belief that anyone who could have possibly mistaken them for bombs should be taken out behind the shed and shot. They are a threat to the intelligence of the human species, and should not be permitted to procreate, and spread their supreme idiocy.
I know people with autism who aren't that retarded... then again, these are the morons who think that gay marriage is going to birth the anti-christ. |

| Dear god an update!! |
[Jan. 24th, 2007|09:11 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  peaceful | ] |
So, in a complete reversal of the norm I have nothing bad to write about. Life is, for lack of a better word, perfect right now. I'm in such a wonderful place right now; metaphysically at least. I feel like I've finally come to terms with myself, and have discovered who I am. I can't even recall what stress feels like. I'm making enough money at work that the bills are getting paid (mostly) on time, and yet I have PLENTY of spare time to work on music. As for the music, it's going extremely well. Since my last update i've added a few more things to my studio, the most exciting of which is Ableton's Live 6.
Live 6 is, by far, the single best piece of music software I have ever touched in my life. It's extremely complex, extremely unique, but extremely user friendly. I've been able to figure out most everything without even touching the manual (I'll admit i've had to look up a few things). So if any of you music people are serious about writing/recording and want to collaborate, let me know!!! The downside to Live is that it's taken priority over the writing process, so I haven't really produced anything of quality in a while. However, summer is approaching, and i'm excited to get to work DJ-ing. With one DJ set already done it's only a matter of time before I can quit the day job and just live off the music.
Then it's time for the next phase of my life; which oddly enough, i've been thinking a lot about. I think it's anxiety to get out of my parents house that has driven me to brainstorming, but i've actually made PLANS for the distant future. Granted, they're very intangible right now, and definitely just ideas, but it's more than I'm accustomed to doing.
I'd like to be living off of music within the next year (DJ-ing at clubs and such), and have an album out before the decade ends. There's a radio show swimming around in my head, and a name as well: The Singularity Broadcast Project. Somewhere in my 30's i'd like to open a label: Life Records, with the concept that a certain portion of all sales will go to the preservation of human life. I'd like to think that other's would jump on the boat and it could turn into a joint effort between myself and other like minded artists. The money will be used to assist people in 3rd world countries in liberating themselves from the tyranical regime of the capitalist bastards that run the world. Basic medicines/vaccinations, Hospitals, food, clothing, shelter... things like that. By this point (in the world in my head at least) I should have a decent paycheck, which I would like to use to buy an island or some other remote piece of property where I can just live. And thats really what it comes down to, I'm tired of spending my life working... I'm ready to live. |

[Sep. 12th, 2006|03:04 pm] |
So I was sitting at work bored as shit, working on the Sudoku and jotting little bits of lyrics on the page as they popped into my head. The anniversary of 9/11 had me all pissed, and political like, and for some odd reason it was inspiring me to write. (this is odd because I am a horrible writer. fitting words together is about as tough for me as peeing into the wind and keeping dry)
After I finish scribbling things into a somewhat coherent collection of angry thoughts I read my horoscope for the day. It reads: "You're thinking more about what you want than what you'll have to do in order to attain that goal. This is good, since the former will drive you, and the latter will only overwhelm you."
Seemed appropriate, so I thought I'd share. That being said, here's what spilled from my head. Criticism/suggestions are welcomed (and desired actually, read above about me and not being able to write).

Excuse me while the Hippy in me comes out for a moment now.
I was sitting at work today bored, reading newspapers and I saw that yesterday we killed a Canadian soldier yesterday when some of our planes accidentally bombed them. How the fuck do you accidentally bomb the wrong guys? I mean, it's bad enough that we're dropping bombs on cities full of "the enemy", which in a war generally means a different culture's civilans, but now we're accidentally killing our own allies.
I'm so sick of this fucking war and all the bullshit our asshole of a president is spouting. I'm also sick of how lethargic and complacent we've all become. Everyone seems to hate what's going on with our Country right now, but nobody seems willing to do anything about it.
2,948 people died on 9/11 at the hands of terrorists.
Over 41,639 civillians have been killed by the resulting war our President has started. Thats just the civillians!!!
Let me spell that out for a moment.
Osama Bin Laden, a terrorist activist killed just under 3,000 people when he attacked us. George W. Bush has, in return killed over FOURTY ONE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED PEOPLE. That is more than the population of a small country, literally. Monaco, a small country near France and Italy has a population of about 32,409. If we were fighting Monaco we would have committed genocide and then some by now.
That terrifies me more than a little... |

The summer has ended... that was painfully obvious at work today. I like my job, but nobody should have to work 7 hours by themselves... expecially if they won't even have customers to keep them company. I'm in there 6-1 (open to close) every day this week, and it's just going to get slower. Despite many promises, nobody came to visit me this summer. That bothers me a bit; especially since I made countless efforts to make it out to see people who are much more financially stable than I am.
Nonclave was a bust for me this year too. I had to work on Saturday morning, so I lost Friday entirely. I also had to work Monday morning, so I lost Sunday night. The night that I was there for was the mother of all let downs. Despite the fact that I spent hours (literally, I'm talking about enough to accumulate into days) getting music ready; and despite the fact that I personally asked certain people to be there, the majority of my close friends seemed to disappear after the first song or two. I think I had 3 people take the time to compliment me afterwards, two of which I didn't know. There was also some crap that went down IC that left me feeling very dis-heartened as a player.
Nobody's answering their phones tonight either, so I'm bored as piss. I'm feeling very out of place right now. I can't seem to find anybody who's got 5 minutes to spare for me, and it's making me feel like I'm a 3rd wheel in every social group I'm part of. Not quite sure where I belong right now, but I guess thats life... |

There's at least 1 person on your LiveJournal that wants to date you or sleep with you. So, let's play Friends With Benefits! (cue ominous music)
The rules are simple:
*If you want to date the person who posts this -- for this purpose, meaning "be in a relationship with them" -- post a comment saying "I'm yours" (Or, if you're Just That Dominant, "You're Mine")
*If you just want to sleep with the person and stay friends (for varying values of "sleep with", i.e. periodic kinky playdates without actual sex being involved), post a comment that says "I'd hit it."
Are you scared? You ONLY live ONCE! The kicker is that you MUST repost this and see if it's true for you.
All responses will be screened. No one will ever know if you'd do me. |

The beach is good... I've found it impossible to be phased by any form of stress when every day consists of an ocean sunset. It gets lonely sometimes, but the sandcrabs make decent company, and they never try and slip drama into my life, so I suppose things are pretty decent.
We just found out this week that my father's new boss can't afford to keep him on payroll. After July he will no longer have a job. My parents, in response, have decided to fuck their retirement plan and go on impulse. We're putting the house in Baltimore up for sale, my mother is resigning from her teaching job, and they're moving to the beach 3 years earlier than expected.
Thats about all thats new with me. More excitement as the summer progresses I'm sure. Somebody should come visit! |
