I suppose I ought to update this thing since I haven't done it in so long.
I've finally caught a breather and I'm taking a break from the business to do some writing. The rent's paid up through March, so I might as well give it a try. I probably won't get anywhere with it, as usual, but I'm just sooooo damned bored with designing...

Independent Nader Taps Green Party Activist for VP
Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader selected Peter Camejo, a Green Party activist from California, as his vice presidential nominee yesterday.

This kind of ticks me off. First Nader makes a big deal that he won't run as a Green Party candidate or accept the Party's nomination, then he goes...

Army Report Details Abuses at Baghdad Prison
"An internal Army report details 'sadistic, blatant and wanton abuses' of Iraqi detainees at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad. The report, completed two months ago, came to light following the dissemination last week of images of U.S. military personnel humiliating inmates at the prison. Seven U.S. soldiers have been reprimanded for the abuses."

I need to update my journal, but I want to keep the pressure on this Anti Joey Cashman Petition. Besides, I am sober and I don't particularly feel like spilling the details of my private life in cyberspace right now.
Anyway, the Anti Joey Cashman Petition is pretty much a dead issue now. Shane has made his viewpoint crystal clear at recent shows (where...

as usual i'm so behind on my journal replies.
i agree with you on the freedom thing - actually i just ended a relationship myself. but i think i disagree with you about sex without love - i think people do need that sometimes. i know i do. but love without sex.... no, i can't do that.
thank you for the compliments on my new hair & ink! yay, it can be so much fun to transform yourself. actually overall i am going through a nice period of transformation right now. i decided i would finally learn guitar. and i am enjoying being single for the first time in a year or so.

Please support former Pogues lead singer Shane MacGowan and sign the Anti Joey Cashman Petition! Shane has stuck with Cashman through thick and thin, and things have been pretty thin lately. Cashman is to blame at least in some part for the decline of Shane's carreer. He is still a brilliant artist with as much to give his fans as he did 10 or...

heh. no, but that's a good guess.
it's actually from "summer in siam".
the whole thing ties together quite nicely; the pogues are my favorite band, i wouldn't have gotten to go to thailand if they didn't exist, that song was inspired by thailand, orchids are the national thai flower, and while it wasn't quite summer there, it was about 90 degrees everyday and that's close enough.

I feed my cat this raw meat Carnivore Diet stuff that I order off the Internet. I knew about it because they use the same food at the Nature Center where I used to volunteer, before I started working 16 hrs a day on my web site business. It's really good for him, but, since he's not loading his belly with a lot of grains...

I can tell that, by the end of the night, Ill be into the brandy that I keep around for...

SHANE MacGOWAN RULES AND THE POGUES WERE ONE OF MUSICS LEAST KNOWN GENIUS BADS!!!!
I actually got beat up by 2 members of the popes 5 years agao at the Fleadh Festival on Randall's Island, NY. I was pretty drunk and belligerant. Those days I say are gone...really.

Saturday was a real success. For those of you who read this, none of whom know me any further than what I write on this site, I suppose I should say Saturday was another Croatan show. It was pretty much all crusty-punk metal bands, even Brodys Militia, though they would probably just consider themselves metal heads and be insulted by the term crusty-punk. There was...

I am so bored that I just noticed, sitting here with my head in my hands wondering if I should write something or turn off the computer, that the "Control + whatever" functions are written on the undersides of whatever key. Blah!!!
What did Lorelei call me? Somber? Hrrm. Well, maybe she's right.

"i won't dance in a club like this..."
i'm sorry that your new years eve was not ideal!!
being the des. driver especially on that night is crappy... our driver was getting stoned all night but we didn't mind. heh...
i'm not sure where you can meet any new, good people of substance.
the library? hmm....
i would say, go to newfoundland again if you enjoyed it the last time. it sounds wonderful.. but how does one manage to slip off a cliff??? and i never thought that hanging from a tree root was possible, like you always see in cartoons..
i get the chance to do some travelling myself this spring... i'm so excited! we're going to bangkok! i get to watch 'the boys' play a 3 hour set for a bunch of black tied executives, and we're staying for a week! i'll be in heaven!
sorry that i've been so lazy with writing.. i've been doing it to everyone, even my closest sg friends! what can i say? i've just been getting high and being lazy too much...
i hope you are well.

I have very little to write, though I have a lot to write about. Actually, I dont even remember what I have written in the past couple months. Anyway, I think Im just posting so that my journal doesnt become absurdly dated.

Hey Jake, that Croatan website is really well put together. I love your image viewer! How'd ya do that? Don't suppose you'd lend me the code? heh.. I'm working on another band site - one of the guys in the BFTCH's other band.
And yes... my life definitely doesn't center around SG. Heh. It's more like a part time hobby... I have way too many other things going on in my life for it to center around one scene..
Hm, I should do freelance work except that I honestly don't have the time to take on more projects than one or two band projects every couple months. I work full time at my regular job. Sorry! But I'm sure you'll find some good graphic kidz.
Oh thanks for the tip about the email spiders.. I was just lazy. But I will definitely check out that code.
That tour fell through, unfortunately... they'll just be playing their usual local shows for awhile I think. Once in awhile they do something out of town though.
A new girl week is starting! Maybe it'll finally be my turn! Keep an eye out...

hehe... i understand the craving for information. sorry, i do do that a lot, don't i? either i'm just lazy or i like people to figure it out on their own. hehe. but that's mean of me. actually, i was listening to a radio show and someone from the electric prunes said it. but i'm not sure who from the electric prunes. i was just listening, and when i heard it i said "sweet!" and copied it down as fast as i could. hence i missed who was saying it.
thank you for that code, i hope i can get it to work, that picture viewer is just awesome and i haven't seen anything quite like it.
no, i don't have a mac though. so i can't help you there...i'm always wondering the same thing about my sites.. i don't have access to a mac at all.
also i took your advice to heart, thanks--i try to be careful but i probably do say more than i should sometimes. the reminder was welcome.
i hope you have something enjoyable to do on new years eve... you always seem so somber. i wish you good fortune in the coming year.
