Well, so much for going to class. The maintenance guy is here and is working on my bathroom. Of course he showed up before I took my shower this morning, I have class at 3 and it’s already 2:30. I’m certainly not going to class in my PJs, so it looks like I won’t be going to class at all. Which isn’t completely bad, it was only a “work” day anyways. Basically, we were going to bring all of out materials in and work on projects in class. I don’t really need to be in the class room to work on my project, so I’ll just work on it here. I don’t really want to leave maintenance people in my house alone anyway. Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but they do look kinda sketchy.
Also, I got my copy of Sound Forge 5 to work last night, so I chopped up the new mix into tracks so it can be burnt to CD. If you’d like the ISO, just ask. Oh, and I posted another personality survey on the bio page in case you care. Ok, I’m gonna go keep an eye on the maintenance crew. Later.

Well, Color was ok. I didn’t need those slide like I thought I did, so that turned out for the better. But, the professor did assign about 3 projects at once, so I’ve got a shit load of work this weekend. It didn’t help that I was tired as hell. I didn’t sleep a wink last night.
I had the most horrible dream. It was one of the ones where you think you’re gonna die but you wake up at the last second. Creepy part was, and I’m not sure this is supposed to happen, but I actually died. I was always told that if you die in a dream, you die for real. Well, the bright light I was seeing sure as hell wasn’t my alarm clock. I was in an elevator and there were too many people on it. The cable snapped and we fell to the basement. I wasn’t scared, I wasn’t even worried. I just kept on thinking about Lauren and saying “I love you” over and over again. Then we hit and I could feel everything “crunch” and then nothing, then a white light and I was feeling ok. Then and only then did I wake up. Cold sweat and heart racing, I woke up. I was scared shitless and ran into the bathroom and threw up. I was a bit shaken and couldn’t really get back to sleep. So, today I’m a bit tired. Interesting side note. I decided it was more reasonable to walk the 5 flights of stairs today rather than wait for the elevator. I think I’m still a bit shaken.
But, at least I’m awake now. Time for Digital class. Later.

Well, yesterday didn’t quite work out as planned, but turned out quite well anyway. I got to play a little ultimate frisbee with the boys then hang out with Lauren all night. We were going to go to the jazz club, but the band wasn’t supposed to start playing until 11, it usually starts around 9. So, instead, we went out for coffee and then relaxed around here.
At some point, my bathroom started leaking down into the kitchen below and there was a bit of a panic. We told the landlord/office about it and they said they would send the maintence people over tomorrow.
I also was supposed to get to rolls of slides developed today but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. The place I usually get them done changed their hours and they’re now closed on Sundays. I needed the negatives to show to my professor tomorrow. Hopefully I can do without them. We won’t start printing them until Wednesday, so I’m not falling behind or anything, but I may be considered “unprepared.” Oh well.
The last bit of homework I have this weekend is right up my alley. Get this, I have to surf the web and find pictures/stock photos/etc to use in a photo-collage. Geez, it’s not like I don’t already do that. How about you assign me a project where I have to check my email or something hard like that. hehe.
In other randomness, I started the new “new design” of the page. This time its horizontal! You guys will like it, trust me. Later.

Woot Woot Woot! Guess who just wrapped up his second live mix. That’s right. Yours truely. This time we went deep progressive trance. It starts out slow (115-125bpm) peaks around 155-160bpm and then cools back off at the end. And very well I might add. I really squeezed just about every track I had into this one. All those tracks I had found durring the summer that I never got to use found their way into this one. A whopping 15 tunes, which is a lot for only an hour mix. If you’re wondering about the track listings:
Goa Gil – Unknown
Darude – Sandstorm (before the storm mix)
Mekka – Diamondback
DJ Mary Jane – Rave with the Gods
Satoshi Tomiie – Love in Traffic
Kings of Tomorrow – Finally (extended mix)
Danny Tenaglia – Bottom Heavy
Darude – Feel the beat
Cosmic Gate – Firewire
Antiloop – I Love You / Trespasser (medly, my mix)
Mad Dogs – Sudden Journey (Leon Alexander mix)
Blue Harvest – Don’t Sleep (white label)
Darude – Let the Music take control (extended mix)
Sasha & Emerson – Scorchio (white label)
DJ Infiniti – 9pm Till I Break – (white label)
If my friends are interested, just let me know and I’ll get you a copy of it. Or you can still get my last mix which was made last spring. Ok, bed time. Later kids.

I had been talking with Nagle resently about people with the opinion that the US deserved last weeks attacks. I can’t seem to fathom why people would think that. I’m not naming names, but I have a damn good idea who does. It really makes me sick. They’re so blinded by their social reform bullshit that they actually think that thousands of people deserved to die and that American had it coming. Some bullshit about how America has been the bully of the worlds school-yard and now the scrawny kid is pushing back. Well, fuck you! I was reading links off of Chris‘ page and came across a post on Jen’s page about the exact same topic:
“WTF? We try to improve the world stage at large, make peace in a region that hasn’t known peace since before the time of Christ, ship equipment, food and money anywhere in the world that it is needed, send our young men all over the world to act as police in countries that have lost all organization or civilized government…. and we DESERVE IT? We can’t mount an organized campaign to enforce global laws against terrorism, use standard military strategy to make pin-point strikes against those who have frequently killed Americans and have committed the worst atrocity since the Holocaust, use every one of our considerable means to leave civilian populations out of the fighting, and want nothing more than to bring the perps to justice… and we are stopping to the level of scumbags who would use a flying gas-tank to destroy tens of thousands of innocents who work in businesses that help the global economy? And since when does ANYONE deserve random attacks? A woman in a skimpy dress does not deserve rape. A black man who has worked hard to attain success does not deserve to be pulled over because he drives a nice car. A white guy with a northern accent does not deserve to be called racist because he comes from a town where there isn’t a large minority population. And nobody, I mean NOBODY, deserves a ignominious violent death because of his or her nationality or his country’s foreign policy.
Pray for the victims… and for anyone who is stupid enough to voice such opinions around ME.“
That’s right. Anyone who even thinks about saying anything to that extent around me will have a facefull of me to deal with.
