so my desperate plea for comments has yielded two in the last day. not
bad. i am working right now on all that has been asked of me.
day was same as any other wednesday. thursday i will play some basketball.
check out my gripe about the Colorao incident here.
it was quite the stream of consciousness so don't diss me for my spelling
or grammar, just get the point of it and you'll be a better person.
i also talk about overpopulation,
"being natural", college,
and drinking and drugs.
check all that out...it took a long time.

so colorado is the latest victim of incivility...this is gay and i hope
you think so enough to do something about it.
back at home vern is getting it on with his girlie girl. in the meantime
i'm updating my webpage and listening to schooly d.
looking into another job opportunity for this year and summer...we'll see.
4-19-99
ever since feb. i've been getting fewer and fewer hits per month. lots
fewer this month, but that is leftover from last month's slacking.
no one really comments on my page so i don't know what people like the
most...obviously not my mp3 list, but what do you think i should update
more often? i want to update the editorials more but don't have topics
really. submit comments and ideas here.
"if the vibe was suicide then you would push the button." -rage against
the machine.
that's all
4-14-99
updated campus cinema page. that director chick should give me gratuitous
sex or money, either would work for me just fine.
did spell check for editorial page...many mistakes, beside obide->abide.
picked up my KDVS 'gift' 'premium' whatever you want to call it for the
$20 tax deductible donation i made - two of the best cds i've gotten in
a while...i'm impressed. props to the Mad Hatter for suggesting them and
me for asking him to suggest something rather than just going with the
beatles white album or the money mark and cornelius cds.
schedule is real now.
johnny hasn't been updating his page lately, that sucks.
picnic day is this weekend - largest all student-run event in the nation...cool
and it's pretty good too. i'll be there will you?

Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello (Harvard Educated) had a
online chat the other day at www.ratm.com and talked about several issues
- guess jeans sucking nuts and running sweat shops, kosovo being a gay
situation and other political issues, but here are a couple highlights:
Questions include:
1. How do you feel about "selling yourself out"
by putting music videos on MTV and such, a breeding ground for all the
money makers out there today?
2. Which bands have influenced you the most?
3. Tom how was the experience of getting arrested
for protesting a clothing manufacturer who is despicable
4. Tom- what guitarists had the most influence
on your style of playing?
5. Tom, do you object to people bootlegging your work
and circulating it as MP3's
Moderator Q: Which bands have
influenced you the most?
Tom Morello: When the band first formed I used to describe
our music as a cross between Soundgarden and Public Enemy. There's obviously
a healthy dose of punk rock in our sound as well. The Clash are my favorite
band of all time. And let us not forget the mighty Black Sabbath.
my comments: giving props to black sabbath...i like it! of course
they have done shows with the beastie boys...i like, and soundgarden rocks,
which you know if you know me and public enemy, well just check my mp3
list.
Moderator: Matt from Jersey...
Tom how was the experience of getting arrested for protesting a clothing
manufacturer who is despicable
Tom Morello: Guess Jeans, the despicable clothing manufacturer,
is still a company worthy of boycotting. They continue to operate sweatshops
here in Southern California, grossly underpaid workers, and sabotage union
activities. We attempted to purchase billboards in major cities around
the country a couple of years ago asking people to boycott Guess. Their
attorneys got to the billboard owners and succeeded in blocking our legal
attempts to buy billboard space. We then attempted to purchase radio commercial
time on alternative rock stations around the country exposing Guess' abuses.
Again, Guess was successful in intimidating radio stations (with the notable
exception of KROQ in Los Angeles) into not playing our anti-sweatshop spots.
At that point, it seemed that our only recourse to get news of the boycott
out was to perform some sort of civil disobedience. Myself and some 30
activists and organizers and student supporters were arrested for blocking
the entrance to a Robinson-May Company store in Santa Monica to protest
Guess Jeans. We spent about half a day in jail and it was pretty painless
and helped to spread word about the boycott. U.N.I.T.E., the garment workers
union, in the aftermath of the boycott achieved some major gains. Workers
who were fired for their union organizing activities were forced to be
rehired and many Guess workers received back pay for being gypped by the
company. You all should please continue to boycott Guess products until
they treat all their workers with the respect and dignity they deserve.
my comments: I give props to KROQ and guess - well their clothes
suck anyway.
Moderator: Charlie, Oakland CA- Tom,
do you object to people bootlegging your work and circulating it as MP3's
Tom_Morello: I have no objection to people listening
to Rage Against the Machine music for free. I'm not that familiar with
MP3, but some friends have run off some great bootleg albums for me which
I enjoy. When a shadow company takes the reigns though, and is profiting
at the expense of the ban
my comments: how can't you know about MP3? at any rate tom is less
of a tight ass than most. oh yea, b-boys and public enemy were two of the
first bands to offer samples of their music via the internet in mp3 format....figures
since they both rock my nut sack.
Tom_Morello: I'm a self-taught guitar player. I took a
couple of lessons when I was 13 and was very turned off by the rigidity
of the musical doctrine.
my comments: you are one of the greatest guitar players ever (in
my non-guitar playing opinion) oh yea and so was jimi...self-taught that
is.
Moderator: Mike in Portland,
OR. Tom- what guitarists had the most influence on your style of playing?
Tom Morello: I was drawn to the instrument by the guitar
heroics of guys like Jimmy Page and Randy Rhodes. But more eccentric players
like Andy Gill from Gang of Four or Alan Holdsworth have also been an influence.
These days my guitar playing is much more greatly influenced by DJ's, techno
wizards, and odd noises around the house.
my comments: check here
to figure out what i think about j. page.
Moderator: Al Dallas Tx. How
do you feel about "selling yourself out" by putting music videos on MTV
and such, a breeding ground for all the money makers out there today?
Tom_Morello: Again, this is a question that is only asked
by upper-middle-class white kids. When we got the thumbs-up from Leonard
Peltier from his jail cell at Leavenworth penitentiary on our video for
the song Freedom, we decided to go ahead with it despite some nagging and
whining from elitist indie rock circles. When we got the thumbs up from
sub-commandante Marcos from the jungles of Chiappas because he approved
of our MTV video for the song People of the Sun, we decided to go ahead
with it and braced ourselves for whatever whining was to come. We sleep
well at night knowing that we have forced into 50,000,000+ households the
case of Leonard Peltier and the struggle of the Zapatistas.
my comments: was that vern asking that question? was tom looking
straight at vern when he was answering that question? if it wasn't vern
asking that question it must have been a KDVS listener of some kind. right
on tom.
KDVS is doing the fundraiser show. If you wanted to make a donation you
can call them at 530-752-0728 and you can get lots of stuff, T-shirt, sets
of cds, other T-shirts etc. if you are a student it's 25 bucks if you are
a worker person it's 35 bucks. there's my pitch...it's a big week for us
in the radio station.
our fundraiser show went well, we had a guest dj..."daddy mack" we recorded
the computer speaking whatever we typed and then worked it into the show
with a script we prepared before the show. it went pretty well.
i dropped my sociology class and that's that.
i donated $20 and i'm getting two cds, good deal and it's a learning experience...open
up to new music you people.
i'm not getting very many hits lately, but oh well. i could offer good
mp3 sites on my site, but then i could get in trouble.
4-9-99

April 3rd
What great band released two ground breaking albums in the same year? Hint, Answer
Now that I wasted a lot of time trying
to figure out that little bit of javascript I'll tell you the highlight
of my many trips to Fry's. Standing in an aisle looking at cd-roms and
some guy comes up to me and says he likes my shoes...i say thanks. he asks
where I got them. an outlet store somewhere i reply. he says again they
are really nice. yea thanks, i say again. he starts to look at the cd-roms
and a couple seconds later asks if he can buy them. uh (laugh) i say. i'm
serious, he says. uh, they're the only ones i have (laugh) i say. oh, they're
really nice. that's all
gotta go eat.
April 1st
got back from break
i spent 3 days trying to fix dad's
computer...to no avail. made 5 trips to fry's in search of the right motherboard,
cpu, mouse, hard drive. at first the computer just froze lots and the mouse
didn't work. i formatted. the mouse still didn't work. it still froze lots.
i replaced mouse and used old hard drive because the new hard drive could
not be recognized by the out-dated bios of the motherboard. installed mouse
it worked only if the floppy wasn't hooked up...uh darn. used phil's old
motherboard and cpu...didn't work. returned mouse got new motherboard...didn't
work with dad's old 100mhz cpu or phil's newer cyrix 150+ cpu. took to
mom's it worked with her cyrix 200+. weird. installed win NT for stability
purposes...video ran only at 16 colors, weird, but the mouse worked and
it wouldn't freeze - yay NT! microsoft can make good programs (other than
word). one problem - fry's is gay and failed to check the socket there
was a small plastic piece of shit missing which allows the cpu fan to be
braced on the cpu. returned motherboard to fry's for exact same one, but
with the vital piece...also bought cyrix 300+ cpu (only 45$!). hooked up
- no video, no beeps, nothing except my head exploding. called phil in
suicidal fit. i hooked up his 200mhz cpu to the same motherboard, set jumpers
accordingly, no video, no beeps. the only thing different between the time
i used mom's cpu and the time i used the new cyrix or phil's cpu are: the
motherboard was a different physical board, but the exact same type, make,
model, year, everything. monitor, keyboard, mouse and power cord. phil's
mouse, power cord, keyboard, and monitor are all working for sure...pretty
sure the same is true with dad's shit. therefore there are a few possibilities:
the board doesn't like any cpu other than a cyrix 200+, the motherboard
that i got (which was the only unopened one {straight from the factory,
not touched and returned by any slimy fry's customers or employees}) was
screwed up by some manufacturing flaw, or the final possible reason: god
doesn't like me. i think it's the last one.
class tomorrow.
took 1 hour to get home...davis airporter
is gay.
no one, but scott, is home.
i got only one piece of junk mail during
the break.
i'm thinking of installing NT on my
system...maybe when i decide to format i will. i still don't know how to
install NT without first installing 95...i don't have the boot disk so
it sucks...it is the disk that has the inital setup info on it. gay shit.
phil's going to try and get it...i need to send the shit to him. didn't
have time to drop it off at his house.
1 hour of class and 2 of work.
my schedule
is fucking jacked this quarter...i'm going to die.
gay is the second best word ever.
need to update campus cinema page.
shit
did install sarah's printer successfully.
wow.
