many many hits this month.
parties this weekend will lack my presence.
college life is funny...parties, girls, class, mountain dew, all nighters,
late night sandwiches, etc. fun though, fun indeed.
it's 6:04a.
got two hits from ucdavis yesterday, one from scott, one from someone using
netscape 3.x ...someone who doesn't update browser obviously. odd. it wasn't
on campus, it wasn't anybody in this house, or next door for that matter.
tired.
need to sleep, long day tomorrow.
i've got this beastie boy mp3 to download and everytime i start downloading
it goes to about 1.4 k/sec and then slows down to a stop within a couple
seconds. weird. need to start, stop, start, stop...etc.
rick rubin executive produced the public enemy-it takes a nation of millions
to hold us back cd - he rocks.
the last track on that cd uses a beastie boys sample, a bob marley sample
and the sample sample schooly d uses for 'get off your ass and get involved'
on the 'am i black enough for you' cd...terminator x rocks deez. he's the
public enemy dj, for those who don't know.
source material comp. is good. in fact most everything by astralwerks is
good.
night time for me.
6:30am, 7:30am, 6:30am...those are my sleep times the last three days,
not including the overnight, when i didn't sleep until 9am and then slept
for 11 hours. fuct.
10-28-99
overnight killed me.
essay due tomorrow, working on it now.
pics page works now.
this weekend i might update the editorial page...been slacking there.
got some funny pictures from stacy - put them up on my piece of cardboard
with all my other pictures...it's now on the wall.
going to start another one, someday after i develop more film.
vern liked the "i want" thing...thanks vern.
johnny liked the stuff i wanted (that which wasn't material)...thanks johnny.
i'm a lucky person. (note to self - i'm a lucky person because: .......)
10-27-99
updated political action page...it includes the following letter to some
politician types-
To whom it may concern:
Here are my views, as a constituent of yours you
should care:
• Voters don't care, and they should - do something about this.
• Education, on the whole, is horrible and the curriculum is a joke
- fix it.
• The rich are getting richer, the poor - poorer. Yet everyone thinks
the country is doing great - inform voters of truth and fix the growing
gap.
• There is too much money in politics - get rid of the excess.
• We don't have a cohesive foreign policy - make one.
The above are my complaints if you want my vote then you'll do something
to make it appear that you care. In all likelihood you will be more busy
planning your next $1000 per plate fundraiser dinner.
good day,
Chris Miller
i'm not depressed, but the last update makes it look that way. for the
record - i be fine.
10-27(barely)-99
updated pics. a LOT. many with phil.
updated cd list. stp and rob zombie
cds are both good.
updated mp3 wants.
updated schedule...slacking there.
could get the rage cd in a few days (a few days before it's coming out)
if i wanted, but i think that's cheap. i want the real thing...i'll be
in line early in the morning, you can bet on it.
pay check this week. yippee.
i want to spend a lot of money.
i want: a car, a turntable, a cassette deck, a super fast MD recorder,
a girlfriend, a fat savings account, a job with administration that doesn't
suck, to be free from inhibitions, a regular sleeping schedule, the will
to study, the ability to read for hours, the ability to forgive and forget,
to be a fun person...including while at parties, accepting of other people
and their shortcomings, buff, a lot of time, the ability to manage time
(not piss it away), in shape, able to run a 4:58 mile again, a girlfriend,
all the nirvana cds, all the metallica cds, all the doors cds, all the
ac/dc cds, all the soundgarden cds, all the black sabbath cds, all the
ccr cds, a laser printer, a good globe, a picture of an atomic bomb exploding
with the caption reading "it's good to be american", headphones with a
frequency range of 20-20,000 Hz, a digital camera, new shoes, to be secure
with myself, a hobby, a radio show from 12-2am, a respectable vinyl collection
including hendrix classics and all the beatles albums, a world where people
care, a world where people know what they are caring about, a society concerned
with the long run and the small people, to do something that matters, to
be recognized, a system of government that isn't inept, a group of friends
that have the same wants i do, to live in a place where being liberal doesn't
mean you have to have a messy house, to live in a place where neighbors
speak, to be able to throw away grudges, to be able to spell without have
to check words like 'grudges', to be confident enough not to check words
when they are right the first time, to keep in touch with friends, to not
be disgusted by people abusing themselves (um, i mean drinking) even in
moderation, to be free enough to dance without having to mock myself, to
be funny without making some kind of sexual allusion, to finally learn
how to spell words like reference so i don't have to use allusion everytime,
to know now that there isn't a double 'f' or 'r' in reference...just like
i thought the first time, to have the same confidence with girls that i
do while riding my bike, to be as accurate in comparing english stories
as i am in keeping my checkbook balanced, to be able to bunny hop a bike,
to be able to look back and not regret, the balls to put my gonads on the
line once in a while, not ever be as closed minded with music as vern is,
to bump to loud music in the now deceased 92 passat with phil, for everyone
to hear the same 2PAC that i do - one with compassion/genius/personality/zest,
for everybody to hear 'rock n' roll' by led zeppelin and know that what
they did is such genius it's amazing, for everybody to hear 'car thief'
by the beastie boys and realize that the world can suck because of 'all
the wife beater and all the tax cheaters sitting in the white house pulling
their peters' - but also realize that it can be a wonderful place because
it has music like that, for people to care, for everyone to read at least
one paragraph of the unabomber manifesto and then make a comment on it
- but not until then, and the same for marilyn manson or 2 PAC or zach
de la rocha or chuck d or noam chomsky or jello biafra or how about bob
dylan or jim morrison, to be able to listen to eminem before looking at
his white ass trying to rap then writing him off as a poser only to find
out later that he's a person with feelings/thoughts/and all that gay shit
which is not let in by most because of his color and baggy jeans, to be
able to listen to 'love hurts' by nazareth without saying 'hell yea', to
have the same drive as jerry rice/joe montana/steve young/steve prefontaine,
to be as giving as phil, to be as smart as my dad/grandmother/mom/grandfather
in no particular order, as eloquent as noam chomsky/howard zinn, to be
a leader like MLK/malcolm x/che guevara, to have a world where MLK's dream
of ECONOMIC equality is reality, for people to know that the preface to
MLK's i
have a dream speech talks about economic equality...not just racial
equality because he knew it - and still is - a economic gap more than anything
else, not to finish this paragraph - goto sleep - wake up and not care
again - like everyone else.
10-26-99
sleeping is fucked lately.
need to do lots of work for school, yay.
phil is gone.
going to study...now.
10-25-99
wasted day away.
still need to see american beauty.
rob zombie remix album comes out sometime in november...will buy.
goal for 2000 - to have 330 CDs. a tough goal economically.
tickets for the concert have been purchased.
that's all.
10-24-99
it is much fun having phil up here.
stacy is staying?...good lord the shit hits the fan.
essay due tomorrow
mostly wasted this weekend, but it was extremely fun.
made breakfast burritos for people again this weekend...yippee.
watched fight club. 'review' here
niners suck more than i thought, good thing i don't watch any of the games.
got only 2 hours sleep after the overnight.
working NOW.
10-19-99
beastie boys single wasn't out....weird. it's all good. i got 6 new cds
anyway. yippee. check out additions here
Pi is a good movie...i'll have to see it again sometime. the soundtrack
is awesome too.
tired.
lots of updating in the last two days.
10-19-99
hard to wake up this morning
two great games on last night - monday night football was exciting to the
end and so was the ALCS. I've decided, though, that i don't like the yankees...and
feel sorry for the red sox. the yankees have no personality...they are
a machine...too good, like the niners once were, but the yankees don't
have a montana or a rice...just a damn machine...i hope atlanta whips their
asses.
gotta go get a cd.
listening to everclear's latest...first time in a while...good cd, still.
bye.
10-18-99
phil is officially coming up thursday...but the ticket isn't purchased
so how official is it? hopefully it works out.
getting off work on friday is impossible, worst comes to worst i just quit,
um i mean call in sick that day.
i have almost all my books now, not like having them helps unless you read
them. =)
i hate reading when it's required and when you have to do so much so quickly.
it's gay and it's not what learning should be.
more class, less homework...smaller classes too. discussions are good;
even for me.
red hot chili peppers move up yet another notch...now behind queen and
deep purple and run dmc and soundgarden and ac/dc and stp and doors and
ccr and 2pac and guns n roses and metallica and nirvana and black sabbath
and rage against the machine and led zeppelin and the beastie boys. but
that's pretty far up there.
guns and roses live album coming out nov. 20th i do believe...live for
their old shit, none of this axl rose only guns n roses crap...so it should
be good.
must i reiterate? stp oct. 26th. beastie boys single oct. 19th (supposedly).
rage against the machine nov 2nd. and their concert the 20th. beastie boys
2cd sounds of science best of comp. nov 26th...holy shit these two month
rock. i'm jizzing all over the keyboard...i must clean now.
clean - good depeche mode song from the violator cd.
good lord my relatives and elders read this shit. that's the breaks.
homecoming game on friday so hopefully i can go to that with phil.
installed some shit. must restart i'll be back.
back i'm probably screwing myself by updating anything microsoft, but we'll
see.
nevermind they wanted me to register with them....fat chance.
brendan o'brien and rick rubin are great producers. brendan - all three
by stp...and possibly their fourth too. ratm's last two. vitology by pearl
jam. and more i'm sure. rick rubin - red hot chili peppers' last few (including
bloodsugarsexmagic and californication). run dmc's stuff. beastie boys'
licensed to ill. ac/dc's latest. at least one track by NIN. and more i'm
sure.
answered some questions on johnny's page.
the doors are good.
it's late. 4am. late. too late it is.
10-14-99
test tomorrow.
stacy and gio came over tonight it was great.
pics from the sexfest - here. there is
a movie too, but it's 11 megs large so if you really want it you can go
through icq or something some day.
mad props, big thanks, to Johnny for the quickcam ... it's been great and
i'll use it more. gotta get as much home porn in as possible before xmas.
thank you johnny thank you.
Rage Against the Machine is rocking my nuts these days. tempted, but not
seriously so to move ahead of led zeppelin. if new album is as good as
the first it could happen.
lots of updates this month = good business.
click here
updated cd list, word 7.0 version
too.
need to read.
10-13-99
rage is in town nov. 20th i'll be there.
rage single if fucking awesome, but stacy is cooler.
anyhoo. or is it anywho? i think it's the latter.
at any rate the receiver is back and is working, now.
i really like my cd player...too bad my receiver has been dead for so long.
got haircut.
took lots of quickcam pics.
updated recent movies page.
i'm late for bed.
10-12-99
updated the papers page...it should
work now. if you have word 7.0 and IE 5.0 i think you can just click on
the link...it has some special plug-in. if not just download it.
tired. meeting in the middle of tuesday screws me up.
mountain dew saved the day...only 8 oz. went a long way.
updated quotes...added humorous quotes too.
10-11-99
passed the 2300 mark.
the overnights screw me up lots.
updated papers i done written page.
includes new story for English 101 which is due today. 1800 words. This
is the rough draft, but final will be pretty much the same thing and will
be posted later. this is my first story ever, although most of it is made
up it's all well within the realm of things that happen at my work.
give me editorial topics here...i
had one before, but i lost it.
rage against the machine will be in sacramento in late november...20th
i think...i'm there, without a doubt. if it is the 20th i'll have to find
someone to cover my shift.
so far the quote thing works...i think i'm going to add a funny quote button
too...to balance it out.
hoping for receiver...very soon. hoping for cds....very soon.
phil might be coming in two weekends...yippee. must get friday off if that
is the case. then i'll have to survive the overnight too. it sucks that
i work on friday and saturday nights. i need the money though.
too late. sleepy.
behind on HW...history is a bitch, poli sci classes have good deal of reading
too. english requires that you talk about reading so kinda got to read
it by class time. the other classes just have tests. oh well.
tell me what you think of the story. it's in word 7.0 format so you should
be okay if you have any word processor post 1996.
blah blah blah.
10-9-99
Beastie Boys news...it's official, i think. nov 23rd...a best of 2 cd set.
this is the other album that i told you all about a few months ago...the
first being a remix lp. i'm so fucking happy.
i'll be buying the rage against them maching single on the 12th...you can
be sure.
the things that make me that happy are very few.
have an interesting english paper to do. reporting type narrative thingy...with
that type of description i'll fail it. at any rate i'm going to do 'a day
in the life of...' type deal...and it's going to be a day at the shelter...should
be easy to come up with plenty of stuff.
10-8-99
updated recent movies list.
it's too late to do much.
10-6-99
went to sleep at around 9, but got woken up twice by phone and several
times by loud roommates...gay. now it's 2am.
updated the quotes above...a lot.
class at 11. work the overnight tonight...shitty.
called phil, gio, and johnny...no one was home. later phil called though
so yippee.
rode back from the last overnight, sunday, it was slower, but still good
for me. i averaged around 17 mph...top speed was only about 28. i want
to get some aero bars...when i went in that position i went about 1 mph
faster, but it was uncomfortable because i had my forearms on the regular
metal handlebars.
have you noticed the time and date on the lower left hand corner?
i haven't gone out and bought a new cd in a while.
need to lube up bike. new back rim. new back tire. aero bars. clean it.
rewrap handlebars. raise seat. eventually i guess.
johnny doesn't update enough.
if i had some grand goal at least i'd have something to keep my mind on.
right now i just float from one goal to another...trying moderately at
each.
need to make list of small projects to keep occupied (uh, in between homework
that is).
i've said enough.
10-5-99
been hectic.
updated archive page.
updated schedule...look at wednesday
night now.
school has started. classes aren't too bad, yet. three big papers (8-15
pages). many small ones (for english).
English teacher is hardcore...damn!
tell me if the random quote thing above doesn't work.
just when i was getting lots of visitors i had to not update for so long.
such is life.
they wanted to charge for receiver...i told them it was under warranty,
they will fix for free...scary for a bit though.
3 girls have said i'm either 'hot','cute', or 'really cool' in the last
couple weeks. bfd. 2 are taken...1 needs to get on my jock and forget the
other guy, 1 i don't care about, and the other is as close to asexual as
possible.
utter gayness.
drugs are bad. you are dumb if you use them.
thanksgiving is looking like a lost cause. busy busy busy...reminds
me of cat's cradle...excellent book...see the cat...see the cradle? ha!
