21 October, 2007: Yes, I am still alive. The web site has been neglected. The Cynical Libertarian Society has been neglected. You have bee neglected. I know how much you all miss me my dear fans. What's happened between now and then?
I finally went to Boulder. Yup, it was full of hippies. I went to a concert with the female I was currently seeing (yes, Skippy can score a woman once in a while) and the audience was full of hippie lesbians. None of them were attractive. Of course I was there with the hottest woman in the place (believe it or not, I have not only standards, but high standards). I still hate Boulder.
I had to get the 2008 calendars put together. Before 2008. Yup, they are done. Go check 'em out.
I finally broke down and bought a laptop. It came with Windows Vista. What an awful load of shit that is. I installed Sabayon Linux and now I dual boot (as any sane person would do).
I've mucked about with some more poetry for my upcoming second book.
And speaking of books, I have read two books which you should read as well. That is if you want to live a happier life. A life more in touch with the world and the people around you. A life of meaning & being.
1. Fuck, Yes! by Reverend Wing F. Fing M.D., Ph.D., D.D.S., L.L.D., D.V.D.
2. Radical Honesty by Brad Blanton, Ph.D.
I'm not pimping them either more than that. Either you have what it takes to change your life or you are a loser. It's all up to you.
I recently discovered Star Trek New Voyages and let me say, this is amazing. It's amazing on two levels:
1. It's great that fans are able to get together and do something like this. Making more episodes of what is clearly the greatest incarnation of the Star Trek series. The creativity, talent and dedication that is coming into play here is wonderful to witness.
2. It illustrates just how close we are to escaping the corporations. The recording companies are terrified now that musicians are starting to realize they (musicians) don't need them (recording companies). Musicians can distribute their own music over the internet, keep all the money and have full artistic freedom. It's not much longer now until people begin to bypass the TV networks and begin to distribute their own movies/series via the internet. The corporations are dying. They are just too stupid to know it.
Those who know me know that I hate hippies. Therefor I also hate Boulder, Colorado. No, I've never been to Boulder. I've never been to France either, but I don't need to go there to know I hate it. Anyhow, nothing good comes out of Boulder (just like nothing good comes out of the blue states, right Stacey?) except every once in a while . . .
I've always been aggravated by greeting cards -- for various reasons. But one of the main reasons has been that I simply see them as a waste of paper & resources. Enter Bloomin' -- Handmade paper embedded with seeds. The make greeting cards, promo fliers and invitations which have flower seeds embedded in them. You plant it & watch 'em grow. A great idea. Granted, they are probably made by dope-smoking hippies while listening to the Greatful Dead, but oh well. A good idea is a good idea.
08 JAN 06: My newest obsession: The Epoxies: A kick ass band that channels DEVO and other 80s music into the punk scene.
Stolen straight from their website:
Fronted by the devastating Roxy Epoxy, The Epoxies' punked-up New Wave stylings, fashion forward look and unbelievable stage show have caught the attention and imagination of the music world.
The band blends bouncey hooks and punk energy, with a knack for ultra-tight, pop songwriting. Balancing razor guitars and space age synthesiser sounds against driving beats and the urgent vocal stylings of Roxy Epoxy, The Epoxies music is new wave at it's irresistable best: catchy, upbeat and dancable as hell.
01 JAN 06: Well, here it is, 2006. Aren't we suppose to be dead by now? Paul Ehrlich predicted we would all die of starvation in the 1980s. (He just wrote another book about how we will all die of starvation, this makes four of them.) The Y2K bug was suppose to destroy the world, this was if god didn't do. Of course the god freaks couldn't decide if we were all gonna die on 01 January 2000 or 2001 since most of them lack the math skills (good job public education) to figure out when the millennium occurred. (For the stupid people: 01 January 2001; there was no year 0.) But we knew it would happen on the turn of the new year. Why? Because god uses the same calendar and time system we use. But shit, here it is. 2006. And we are still alive. What to do?
30 MAY 05: And it's still more damn things. Last night while setting up email filters I accidentally filtered *all* of my email to the trash. There's a great idea. On top of that, some idiot out there is sending virus mail and spoofing my website. If you get email from 204EastSouth.com and it comes from webmaster, admin, administrator, register, info, support, service or any other such email address -- it's not from me, nor from this site. I have informed my host admin and all that good stuff.
22 MAY 05: If it ain't one thing, it's another. First, my web site is down for a whole day because my host had some major computer crash. Then, the fan in my computer went out, my system overheated and my hard drive with my root file system on it seized up. Finally things are going again. I got a new drive for all my data files, since I don't know how long the fan was out and how hot my existing drive got. Now if I can just get some work done.
10 JAN 05: It's 2005. Oh the joy. I spent the first few days with a headache that would kill an elephant. I never have headaches. In fact I ended up in the ER. They did a CAT scan on me and guess what? I have medical evidence that in fact I *do* have a brain. They found it. So take that butt-heads.
Right now I as so swamped with work, photography, trying to maintain my store and theatre. Ugh, plus my sleep cycle is still screwed up. Sometimes life is good, sometimes not. I'm not sure which of those times this is.
