You abuse it, Beck, I kill you. (Not literally of course. Just, you know, a reasonable sounding plonk on the head.)

Congrats, Al. That's great news. Can't wait to get a ride in the new not-Daytona.

Holy shit it's cold in Edmonton. I don't think we've had daytime highs here less than 28. Paras is sweaty.

Can't think of anything else. Too hot. Oh yeah, I guess I really like Magritte. Who knew?

nite.

EDMONTON LOSES YET ANOTHER VENUE

I was thinking of going to the (Method:Records) Divided Left show tonight, but then I heard that a bunch of dumb fuckin kids wrecked the venue from the last show and some fuck called the cops.

On top of that, people keep referring to the venue as ECOCITY when it is clearly not. In fact, it's actually:

1. the Homewrekers jamspace.
2. A home (ie: one of the girls lives there)

The ACTUAL ecocity peeps have been giving shit to the people at the Homewreker space because dumbfucks keep using that name on posters. To further complicate matters, any undue attention by the authorities will result in massive fines. So to detract from this attention, the venue operators decided to host only by-invitation, no-minors shows. Unfortunately, Method:Records advertised this one as all-ages... and even though the show was pronounced cancelled, all the kids came out anyway. So I guess the show sorta happened even though it wasn't supposed to.

The end result of all this?

Well, the homewrekers are likely out of a jam space, one certain individual is likely out of a house (which really makes me sad, because she's super rad), and the entire fucking city of edmonton is out of one of my favourite venues.

phewf... it took all fucking night, but I FINALLY finished archiving 10 gigs worth of mp3s, which coincidentally took up more than half my total HDD. Needless to say, running a computer with 498 MB free space on the hard drive WHILE downloading more music should probably be avoided.

Tonights' burn session brings me to a total of 31 CDs of mp3ed music.

None of which have cases, haha. Tomorrow I MIGHT get around to making CD sleeves with album listings on them, but considering how long it took me just to burn this shit... damn, not likely.

What a fucking chore.


Not that any of you care; I understand and appreciate this fact. But I'm tired and it's late, and fuck it.

man, I've always been a fan of z-trip, but I finally got a chance to listen to those live-set mixtapes that were posted a little while ago and it's just like... damn, this is good shit. I don't even have words for it. Hopefully one of these tapes will have his sweet-emotion mix; I heard a live performance of it once on CBC back in jr. high and I was like "fuck me... who is this z-trip dude!??"

haha, your current job DOES sound sweet. I take it you're getting used to some of that machining stuff eh? I knew you'd figure it out.

Little moral dilema for you people. I meet a family friend today, and he thinks he can get me a job for a engineering firm. Good news right? Wrong actually, after talking with this guy it seems everything is about the money for him. How much his son makes or how much newly graduated engineers should ask for, it kind of sickens me to think this is all he considers a job to be. I only make 9 bucks at my current job but I actually enjoy it, is this what we have come down to, doing a job for money and nothing else? I don't think I can work for this man... Seeing how things are, this is probally a punishment from some higher being. Giving me a job I want but with a man I can't possibly work with. Great, thats how things are... well see you dudes tomorrow. After a good 3 days of work I feel the need to bust loose.

-Strictly for my ninjas

You know whats awesome? My job!

Reason 1)I work across form a car customization place! I see all these suped up cars getting tested on a dynamo. You hear all the noise see all the smoke. I think that's cool.

Reason 2) I get paid to drive a huge pick up truck. This is cool because it's fast as hell and has the horsepower to match. You also tower over all the little cars on the road. Lastly all these white dudes driving past in their pick up trucks look over and give a weird look. It's like what the hell is a small asian guys doing in a pick up? Isn't he suppose to be in a RSX or something?

Hope this entertains someone... Guess not.

hey party people

so tomorrow when you roll out of bed, and of course think "hey, i could really use a hot dog right about now" (as you always do on Saturday mornings/afternoons) you should mosey on down to the save-on-foods (34th Ave and Calgary Trail)and buy yourself some sweet sweet western family meat. and send kids to camp. and visit me. just come. and buy.
