...

Manson: "We were all your students, you know. You had everyone looking up to you. You could have led the people anywhere you wanted.... And you didn't tell them what to do."

Leary: "I didn't want to impose my realities. The idea is that everybody takes responsibility for his nervous system, creates his own reality. Anything else is brainwashing."

Manson: "That was your mistake. No one wants responsibility. Everyone wants to be told what to do, what to believe, what's really true and really real."

i was thinking

on the late-night drive home .. those two "discs" i threw together -- i was listening to #1 -- why did i even bother including the ncd and nra files (nero cover creator and saved compilation respectively) as there is absolutely no real order and they're all still in alphabetical -- minus a few discrepancies. it's not like i tried to create a mood from track to track.

it also sucks that nobody down here shares my love for the music. it was incredible driving home after dropping off my buddy. i cranked up astral projection and d product while flying down country roads with the windows down. i was so wasted too. i've been smoking more than usual. getting high after the trip to canada has changed a little. i space out and "feel" (i dunno, lack of a better word..) the sights and sounds around me. even the way i look at things like trees and the way their leaves rustle in the wind has been affected. i imagine this is due to the hours i spent staring at leaves (or rather into space) while at the wemf campsite -- chain smoking camel lights .. man, what a good fucking time.

i can't wait to sit down with my friend and chat about experiences .. see what he has to offer in the way of psychedelics. i need some candy.

i regret not taking it with me up north.

i'm really pleased with this latest congregation of marijuana. it tastes like shit (yay south!) but it gets me really messed about. if i chew some trident splash gum .. everything is cherry. <3

wemf

fuckin .. god. i don't know where to start. from the beginning i guess --

the couple weeks leading up to july 19 (the day i flew to milwaukee) were insane crazy (or is that crazy insane ..) .. i had so much to do but i got to hang with a lot of people and smoke a lot of ganja. i'll note that during this time i was listening to /a lot/ of death metal. mostly lamb of god type stuff. anyway, i get to the airport and check in, go through security and get to my gate. gate changed. i walk to the new gate. gate changed. i walk to the new gate. flight cancelled. wow, okay .. i head over to the delta phone booth to speak with a support rep. surprisingly enough i was only on the phone for about 5-10 minutes because my flight was automatically re-routed to a midwest airline flight that was only about an hour away from departure.

fast forward -- i arrive in milwaukee and meet crazyfoo at the terminal. over the next day and a half i got to chill with some of his friends and generally piss about with him. he has a tight crew .. i'm glad to know he's in good hands.

just a sec .. i need to take a break while i listen to daft punk and smoke this phat mid-georgia chronic

. . .

wemf was fucking insane. the drive was long but well worth it. i can't complain as i did no driving but i salute the gentlemen and lady who served the group so selflessly. finding a spot for camp and setting everything up went pretty smooth. and once that was all done and we started taking in all the various electronic beats surrounding us .... so many drugs. it wasn't an insane amount or anything and i actually would have liked more -- but it was just fine and i had an incredible time. crazyfoo and his friends were a blast to party with .. i would have no objection to doing it all over again -- especially with this experience behind me i can be better prepared.

i have to mention jimmy johns. before dropping me off at the airport, i was treated to lunch at a local sandwich shop. i had a #12 (i will never forget that number) and it was /the/ best sub i have ever had. in my life. ever. earlier today i went to panera bread and picked up a really good veggie sandwich for lunch .. it's nothing like jj but at least i have something vaguely comparable.

getting home was smooth. i was sad to leave milwaukee and my friend behind but i had no choice. i will be in his warm embrace again .. sooner rather than later .. but until then -- i can only cry myself to sleep.

BITTER SWEET WORLD! WHY MUST YOU TOSS AROUND MY EMOTIONS LIKE A CRACK WHORE RAG DOLL!

in closing .. i had a blast. the week went by far too quickly but i knew that would be case. now it's time to get back into the grind and try to make something of myself.

maybe there's a nice job in milwaukee.

wemf.

what can i say? i don't think i've felt so reinvigorated from any past experience as much as i did from wemf. it was such a fucking blast, through and through. soundgard arrived in milwaukee last wednesday, and we left for canada on thursday. it was a fucking long drive.. about 32 hours of driving roundtrip, with 1500+ miles covered. so many great times were had. i love canada. i hope to move there one day. it just kicks the us's ass in so many ways. the people there are quite friendly, the food kicks ass, and even their roads are better than ours. i didn't see any construction at all when i was there. to anyone who is interested, here's the pics.

it's hard to go back to the daily grind of normal life after this spectacular trip. i miss soundgard as well. he was expressing his hate and anger towards being in georgia to me earlier today. i feel his pain. while milwaukee is cooler than harlem, it's still doesn't even come close to toronto. sigh.

in other news, i am moving out of my apartment this weekend and into the new one on tuesday. i'm excited for this, even though moving will require me to lift heavy objects up 3 flights of stairs. unngh. it's a good thing i'm moving though--for some reason over the last 2 weeks i have noticed an increasing number of large ants in my kitchen. and don't even try to blame this infestation on me, as i keep things tidy and quite santiary. i fear they are carpenter ants, since i noticed some sawdust under the kitchen cabinets when i returned from my trip, and the sawdust was certainly not there before i left. good fucking thing i am leaving this domicile.

oh yeah, and i'm going to chicago to see peeping tom tonight. this should fucking rock.

one more thing to report, and it's not happy news. stephen castner, known as "castner" to many, died this last week on his first mission with the Army National Guard's 1st Battalion, 121st Field Artillery in Iraq. although i didn't know caster too well, i did work in the same department with him for quite some time and grew to know his personality and his hilarious antics. the world will miss this guy. i know no one forced him to join the army, and therefore no one besides the insurgents that planted the roadside explosives are to blame, but somehow the fact that such a young life with such potential who was loved by many is gone forever makes me hate our government and this stupid fucking war just a little more.

lamb of god

i've been going crazy over youtube and google video lately. so here is an embedded clip of a band i saw a couple weeks ago at the unholy alliance show in atlanta ... lamb of god.


can you supersize ambition?

so much has been happening. some things moving too fast while others are lagging behind.

music has always been a driving force for me but it seems lately that it's become more of a crutch. hard to explain what i mean but it makes sense in my mind.

i need to load more flashy multimedia on my phone.

i got super baked twice today with a splash of alcohol for good measure. for the past week i've taken a short hiatus as i had no source of tetrahydrocannabinol. after my first .. session, i hopped in the truck, loaded a tool compilation into the stereo and drove for a couple hours on the back-country roads of georgia. had the windows rolled down and cruised.

old .. dirty

we need something new and fresh. and clean. fresh and clean. clean. not really with the style or coloring .. i don't really mind that part. we need more content. for starters, i want a photolog that supports both static imagery and video. i also think we need a place for bios .. a place to learn about crazyfoo and myself with links to our supercool myspace profiles because we're whores. rotten, filthy internet whores.

if anyone feels like doing this for us, that'd be neat. we can't afford to pay anything .. and you probably won't even get a mention on this site just because that's how lazy we are. i mean .. seriously .. i paid a company to install movabletype for me and refused to change any styles until a script was created to do it for me. although i must thank angelchrys for creating the first style sheet used on this domain.

actually .. if you can even point me in the direction of a nice plugin for MT3.2 .. that'd be acceptable. i can do all of this myself -- i just don't want to. motivation is a fuckhead.
