So I talked to one of the NYC cousins last night about Thanksgiving and what not. It's so nice to talk to some of the 'good' family I have. This will strengthen me for the Xmas trip to Florida to deal with the 'bad' family.

The 'good' fam is my actual family, first bloods. They have never judged me (unfairly) and have always made me...

Thank you!! and I agree with you completely on your wedding opinions.

Ugh, that's the downside to Thanksgiving, the dirty open secret that Hollywood movies never deal with: what if your family is a nightmare, and spending time with them is pure hell? But I'm glad that you do have immediate family that you love and trust. Happy Thanksgiving! Eat til you puke

Worked another show at the Icon last night. Bury Your Dead and other Hardcore bands. I have never worked a show like that before... Apparently guy can kick the shit out of each other at these shows with this quasi-dance thing I call the MongoDance:

1. Part old skool skanking.
2. Part windmilling of the arms.
3. Part shadow boxing.
4. Part martial arts.
5....

Here in Chicago they call that kind of dancing the "helicopter." Maybe I'm just an old bastard (at 25, I've got a good 10 years on most kids in that scene) but what happened to good old fashioned moshing? The kind where you just run into people (*no* flailing limbs) and help them up if you knock them over? Ah those were the good old days.

500+ Albums and Winamp on random does not a DJ make.

It had the bad taste to put in this order:

The Pouges
Elliot Smith
Juno Reactor
Jonny Cash
Lords of Acid

At which point I turned it off with a deep knot of angst in my chest.

Perhaps it is an exceptional DJ for evoking disturbing emotions in its audience.

*twitch* eeek
jade:
nope, not at all. smile

but then again, I'm in the countryside, far from Paris.

I'm such a geek.

Tonight I finished ripping my ENTIRE(!) CD collection to my HDD. (That's HarD Drive to you non-techies). It has been nearly a week of mindless CD swapping during the evenings.

Now I can't help looking at the 'Tunes' folder with all those .mp3's wondering WTF? I don't plan on sharing them. I guess I should think about getting an iPod or...

So I'm thinking of getting my right ear removed.

I haven't heard properly out of it in years, or at all in the last month or so. It's either giving me feedback or hissing. It either hurts or itches.

I figure there's gotta be a good 6 inches of space being taken up by defective equipment in my skull, which could be used for better...

Sometimes we are more in love with the idea of being in love than actually finding the right person. This can blind you to their faults.

That is true. But i didn't start falling for her more until about 5 months after we were going out. She grew on me

I have come to a milestone in my life.

Today my mother goes in for major surgury, which is the first time I have found myself stuck in a corner worrying about something I can't control. REALLY worrying. Even with my father's passing I wasn't this cornered because Ma was there and I made her my priority in getting through the event. But Ma is...
