Ahhhhhh... I just totally love days
off. It's just not like a Saturday or a Sunday, because today is
normally not supposed to be off. It. Just.
Adds. SO MUCH!!!! I also realized something recently. That the universe around me is actually transparent, and if I squint hard enough, I can see 11.2 light years into the future. |

3-27-2002, 10:37AM: Added random quote thingie to the top of the page (with my hand picked quotes of course). I know... wow. l33t. Calm yourselves already. Okay... anyone who thinks a cross between older Faith No More and Pantera's "Vulgar Display of Power" would be interesting, mixed with a little techno and VERY little sanity, then you absolutely positively MUST get Mushroomhead's "XX". Oh man... BWOMP!!! It's just... man... it's literally impossible to listen to it without moving some part of your body :) I'm not kidding :) And truly the greatest treat on the whole CD... the song called "43". When you listen you it, you MUST read the lyrics along with the song. Hahaha wow... it's frickin hilarious. Every time I even *think* about it I start laughing :) It's... just... THAT cool :) I can't even imagine the brainstorm session that inspired those lyrics... ya's gotta hear it :) Oh... and of course... take notice of the number of tracks on the CD... 43 :) And why, in the 43rd tracks several new verses near the end, do I keep thinking I'm hearing stuff about going cuckoo for cocoa puffs!? And pork chops? Am I imagining things? :) |

3-25-2002, 9:38PM: DAMN there were a lot of typos on my South Africa web pages! Why the hell didn't anyone tell me!? :P I guess that's what Moms are for... she went through it tonight and straightened me out :) Tonight's candlelit CD... Borknagar "Empiricism". Just came in the mail today with Mushroomhead "XX". Hmmm... I'm likin it, but not lovin it yet. I totally dig the things they've done... but... I dunno... they just didn't quite do them right. Or something :) I'll give it another listen or two before I judge too harshly. In the shadow of their triumphant masterpiece "The Archaic Course", Borknagar has some HUGE shoes to fill, and they definitely fell short of filling them with their previous release "Quintessence". This one is most definitely better than "Quintessence" though... by far. I miss their old singer too... even though this guy has a great voice. Oh... and most definitely... The auto-run Flash intro on the CD just TOTALLY RULES!!!!!!! GAWD that kicks ass. Beautifully done. Why does a lot of this CD remind me of a blackmetal version of Queensryche? Old Queensryche I mean... like the mellow experimental moodiness of "The Warning" or "Rage for Order"... back when they REALLY ruled :) Come now... sit with me. Some coffee? I'll get you a cup. Let us discuss great things. And wonder. |

3-25-2002, 5:31PM: Turning, he pauses briefly, and speaks in a soft voice... Why do you come here? What is it you seek? Perhaps what you're looking for exists elsewhere in this domain. Or perhaps it will in the future. Perhaps never at all. It's entirely possible that none of this exists in the first place anyway. ...clicking the "save" button, his mind wanders for a moment... the universe speaking to him through the deepest voids of his subconscious mind... bits and pieces... never understanding the full message, or seeing the clear picture. Perhaps, he'll never know... but maybe... just maybe... he's just a frickin weirdo anyway. |

3-25-2002, 8:53AM: Ugh. I hate Mondays. Well, actually, that's not true... I just hate Monday mornings :P I hope no one noticed how late I was. I don't understand how that happens. I swear I got up with plenty of time to spare... but somehow I ended up late. I think... sometime during my whole morning ritual... that somehow my body goes through a period of defying all sense of time and space... and I begin actually skipping over minutes in time. So in a space of time that used to be one hour long, *I* am now existing on a completely different plane of reality where only HALF those minutes actually exist... so to me, only a half hour passes. And since I need that full hour to not be late, suddenly I'm late. So there! It's not my fault!!! It's the universes fault!! I was behind an S-10 pickup on the way to work today, and in the back window... across the entire middle section of the window was a HUGE "Walker: Texas Ranger" logo sticker. It was just like the logo on the show... star badge pattern with the text overtop. And HUGE. The guy must have had it custom made... I can't believe you could actually buy something like that somewhere. You know, even after being here for 3 and a half years, Texas never ceases to amuse me. Today's car CD... Twilight Ophera again. I can't help it... I love this stuff!! It's so... so... so strange and cheesy... I just can't get enough of it's yummy cheesy goodness!! Seriously though, it's VERY cool, and unlike anything I've ever heard before. A strange mix of styles and vocals creating a truly unique atmosphere. And yeah... I suppose it IS the cheesiest parts that I dig most... what's yer point!? :P Alright... enough random babble... I need to get some work done. |

I'm listening to a band called
"Project Hate MCMXCIX" I wrote a new post for the "Random Thoughts" section, but I'm debating whether or not I should put it online. I'm not sure why. It was very impromptu (as is most of my writing), and it's a bit personal I guess... I dunno... it's not a "bad" post, but... I dunno... it was sparked by a quote I heard tonight: "Good things take time. Great things happen all at once". And how those "great things" can be a bit scary at first, and may not always end up being "great"... but often times they can be, and can have an amazing effect on your life if you embrace them. And it goes into the mysterious ways that things can happen in life and stuff... how a seemingly random series of events can result of something that almost seems like it must have been planned ahead of time. Maybe I'll just sleep on it and reread it tomorrow... see what I think then. Does anyone really read that shit anyway? :P By the way... astraldimensions had some email problems today, so if you sent me email today, I may not have gotten it. Apparently my hosts DNS server went down for a few minutes and caused a HUGE backup of email... which lead to, at the time I talked to tech support, 39 THOUSAND EMAILS in queue... holy shit :) They said it would take up to 8 hours to clear the queue and get everything sent out, but I have a feeling some of it may have been lost, cuz I am receiving emails again now, but still haven't received an email I sent myself earlier today. If you sent me something today, you may want to resend... I may not get it. And WHY do I have the beginning of the short lived sci-fi series "Crusade" running through my head!? You know, the intro... where it's all dramatic, and the guy says....
"Who are you?"... That show hasn't been on TV in ages, and I only saw a couple episodes anyway. Why is this stuck in my head!? Hmmm... |

3-20-2002, 11:12PM: Not much too exciting here... I added two new images to my "Art" page. They are a continuation of the 3D CAD stuff I started with the "14 Days" alt.design.graphics project. They're kinda cool I think... just sorta some more bizarre images born from a twisted mind :P But hey... that's cool, cuz I wouldn't want my mind any other way :) They're called "Universe Igniter" and "Depth Perceptor"... let me know if ya dig 'em ...all one of you who actually visits this page - yes, I know it used to be two, but I managed to screw that up, so now we're down to one again :) Maybe I'll start paying people to visit. Yeah, that'll work. errr... I know... even better... I'll just start putting porn here!!!... that'll surely increase the hit count, even if it's bad porn! :P But then again... I talk to myself in real life... why not online as well? :P Yeah I know... pretty boring tonight. I'm tired and can't think of anything witty to say. Being horny doesn't help either, cuz my mind is having a difficult time focusing on non-sexual things :P Too bad you don't all know about my other web page... some of the recent conversation has been rather entertaining :) Nope, sorry, I won't tell ya where it is... if you don't already know that site, then believe me, you don't wanna know :P |

3-20-2002, 12:51PM: I've now changed "photography" to "adventures", and have added a bunch of older adventures from my past. They're mostly things I did when my ex girlfriend Julie and I were still together, and had been sitting on a dormant web site for quite a while now. Well... they're really cool adventures and a lot of fun to read... I hold no ill will towards her, and look back at these adventures as good times in my life, so I thought I would add them to this site in the hopes that some people out there will find them enjoyable. So ummm... check em out 'n stuff! BTW... Friday, April 5th... FARSCAPE IS BACK!!!!! Life is GOOD. And Mushroomhead now rules mah world. |
|
3-18-2002, 8:45AM: Well folks, the adventure is complete and now online... 14 pages in all... it's an epic tale :) I'm really happy with the way it came out though. I think it's really fun reading with a lot of super great pics. Hopefully you'll all think so as well (and will be able to stomach all my ramblings). It's even more than just a chronicle of the adventure though... as I would go into a little history/info of a particular subject whenever I had the chance... so you might actually learn something! :) Check it out if you're feeling brave, and be sure to let me know what you think (unless you think it sucks, then I don't wanna know). By the way... oh man... oh man oh man oh man... brand new... Arcturus "The Sham Mirrors"... oh my God :) This stuff is SO out there. It's frickin amazing (singer from Borknagar, very little blackmetal style vox). Turn out the lights, light all the candles, grab something to drink, and maybe ummm... a few other interesting things (or interesting people), and prepare for a very strange journey into a very very bizarre world :) For those of you who know Arcturus, you know that nothing will ever top "Aspera hiems symfonia"... it just doesn't get any better than Aspera for bizarre-moody-atmospheric music, but "The Sham Mirrors"... most definitely worth a listen or two... or a thousand :) It's music like this that makes me want to take drugs! :P |

3-15-2002, 1:26AM: What in the HELL am I still doing up!? Ahhh well... sleep is for the weak anyway. Here you go... here's a sneak preview for you all... Keep in mind... this is NOT done yet. I still have several pages to finish, but I thought I'd throw it online and let people start checking out what I've got so far. Warning: You may want to get comfy and grab a snack... cuz you know me... there's lots of babble :) I think it's coming out really cool though. Also keep in mind that the pages are probably jam packed with grammatical errors and typos... I haven't gone back through any of the text yet. This weekend I'll have it all done I'm sure, but in the mean time, if you see anything blatantly wrong with the layout, text or HTML, please let me know. Nighty night... |

3-13-2002, 5:55PM: Deep comment for the day: I don't TRY to scare people away... it just... kinda... "happens" I am getting close to finishing my South Africa adventure web pages... yay! It's kinda neat the way it's turning out... reads more like a story than just a photo album. That might be a bad thing though, given the fact that I have this uncontrollable babble problem. Tonight, sometime, possibly, I will be changing the "photography" link to be something more like just "still life"... because I am going to be adding a huge archive of adventures I have been on over the past several years. They all exist on a now-dormant web site, and some of the pictures/trips are really cool, so I'll be moving them all here sometime tonight... to give you all (all two of you) even MORE pointless, far too deep, ridiculously self referential crap to read (although most of the stuff I'm adding is from trips my ex-girlfriend and I went on together, so I guess it's a little less "self" than the rest of the stuff around here). Today's car CD of the day... Therion "Theli". Has a more masterful piece of music EVER been created?? I think not! It's amazing... I've had this CD for years now, and it still blows me away every time I listen to it. The music just totally transcends all time and genre... it's just outstanding. So very deep, and intense... journeys into the past, religions, ideals, self discovery... you know, all those things that I am too much of. Oh, and hey... Mom and Dad... I totally love you guys. |

Blend and. I have a problem. A very. serious. problem. No, it's not my lack of sanity (I don't consider that a problem). It's laundry. It's... getting... out of hand... I... don't... think I can... control... anymore... consuming me... can't fight it... can't... must... submit... the will... too strong... can't... Okay, I absolutely MUST do laundry tonight. There's just no putting off destiny any longer. It is my fate. I must accept it. I am officially down to my very last pair of socks today. This is it. There's no tomorrow unless I do laundry. The sky will blacken. The sun never rise. Time will cease. The apocalypse is here. Unless... I do laundry tonight. In the mean time... I sure as hell hope no one today notices that my socks don't match. Hmmm... come of think of it... I hope they DO notice. In fact, I think I'll point it out.
I'll. |

3-10-2002, 10:35PM: I don't think life is even worth living anymore. I just sent an email to Cartoon Network... "What have you done!?!?!" A Sunday without SpaceGhost!? And worse yet... Yogi Bear and the Jetsons as Adult Swims!?!?! UUUUGH!!! MY EYES ARE BURNING!!! Of course... after I send them a nasty email, THEN I checked the TV Schedule and saw that SpaceGhost is back, just like normal, next week. Eweps :) Sometimes methinks I need to look before I leap. Ahhh who am I kidding... what would be the fun in looking first!? Seriously though... The Jetsons. This is. Disturbing. Very. Disturbing. I see nightmares in my future. Oh, and hey... while Aqua Teen may be very hard for me to swallow... their intro song just totally kicks ass. But the Sealab 2021 song? Well it kicks even more ass. And NO intro music has EVER kicked more ass than when SpaceGhost used Rammstein for intro music. THAT, my friends, just totally fuckin rawked. I have it on tape if anyone would like to see it. But you'll have to be female, and I'm afraid I'll only let you watch it wearing a pair of spiked heels and nothing else. |

Constant. Did I hear right, or am I losing my mind... that Fox now has a show on TV called "Celebrity Boxing"!?!? The reality shows weren't enough... so the Fox execs were sitting around one night getting wasted and going... "Alright people, we need more... we're not yet damaging the human race enough. I know... let's find some stars who can't find work and wouldn't mind beating the hell out of each other! That'll work!" Man. I swear, people... the apocalypse is near... it's very near. |

3-8-2002, 6:11PM: Greetings weary traveler! Well, I made it back safe and sound from my safari/Capetown/Victoria Falls adventure in South Africa... and I must say, it was indeed the most EPIC adventure of my life. Just amazing. I hope to have a whole photo essay kind of thing online within the next weeks time. Wait til you see some of these pictures :) In the mean time, I've written a new "Random Thought"... you can find it in the usual spot, on my "Me" page. This one is called "The Art of Intensity", and will likely scare the hell out of some people. But you know me... never said I was normal. Or unscary. The car CD of the day today is an interesting one I picked up in Capetown... a band called "Twilight Ophera". They are a strange mix between blackmetal, deathmetal, gothmetal and 80's progmetal. Hmmmm. It's kinda cool shit though... I'm diggin it :) Still haven't set up the database for the message board here yet... so all two of you who actually visit this page will have to wait I'm afraid. Oh, and I'm still behind on my email, but I'm working on it! Honest! Sorta :P caio for now ~b |
|
2-18-2002: You know... I hate when I listen to a recording of some idea I threw down on guitar a while ago, and I'll be damned if I can figure out how to play it again. How the hell did I think it up in the first place!? On a side note... I'm still waiting for tech support of the people that host nether.to for me to get back to me on why I can't seem to create a new MySQL database (it's not me! honest!). Once they straighten their shit out, I'll get a message board up and running... yay! |
|
2-17-2002: Added a "Random Thoughts" section to the "Me" page, with various things I've written over the years. I plan on changing this to a PHP scripted posting system soon, as well as adding a "Random Quotes" thingie as well. |
|
2-11-2002: New music! A new instrumental called "Fields of Dementia" is now in my "Music" section. It's a 7:00 long epic journey inside my twisted mind :) |
|
1-24-2002: Cleaned up the pages a little... tried to make them a little less cheesy :) |
