Goddamn! That’s a pretty fuckin’ good milk shake. – Vincent Vega

Saturday, February 24, 2001 Strawberries symbolize sexual attraction. How you reacted to the stolen strawberries lets you know how likely you are to cheat. uh-oh… The height of the fence measures your ability to resist carnal temptation. The higher the least likely you are to cheat. If you said ankle high then you are on it like molasses. Of course who ever heard of a ankle high fence? The number of berries you would steal indicates how many people you can lust after at any given time. If you ate just one, chances are you are a true blue saint. But why would you have gone to all that trouble to climb such a high fence for just one strawberry? Those who ate and ate and ate are constantly on the quest for more..more..more. Your excuses represent how you’d act if you got caught cheating. If you apologized, you’d take the honest approach. If you lied …well you get the picture. The way you described the experience indicates how you would feel after an affair. If you thought it wasn’t worth it then you are a one-at-a-time type. But if you loved it, you prefer the variety life can offer. Yum. By the way who comes up with these fruity tests anyway? I’m craving panheads…
Friday, February 23, 2001 Ahhh … thank you for those answers to the strawberry stealing scenario. Here are my answers (although after reading the answers I wish I could take some of it back…): 1. I said the fence was about three feet high. 2. I said I ate as many berries as my tummy could hold. 3. The farmer did scare the hell out of me and made me start crying. And I told him I was sorry and didn’t know the strawberries belonged to him. Then he felt bad and forgave me. 4. The strawberries were the best ones I’ve ever had and even though I got in trouble I’d probably do it again. 🙂 You know I have to tease you and give you the answers in just a little while. p.s. in the meantime I know how much you like these little games…try these: 1. Take a moment to picture your dream car-without worrying about cost or anything else. What car do you envision? 2. You are a new recording artist and you just finished cutting your debut CD. Now you must decide what goes on the cover. What type of jacket design would you pick? 3. You are walking outside when it begins to pour. What do you do? 4. You have just picked up the lastest issue of your favorite magazine. How do you go through it? Think about it. 😉 Now isn’t this fun?
Thursday, February 22, 2001 Play a little game with me. Don’t analyze…just go with your first instinct. If you are brave leave your answers for me in blogvoice. I’ll give you the answers tomorrow. And give you mine too. No cheating now. 😉 A hypothetical scenario: On a stroll through the countryside, you come across a field of strawberries. Your stomach starts to growl, and there’s no one else around. Only a fence stand between you and some free food. Now answer these questions: 1. How high is the fence? 2. You sneak into the garden and help yourself. How many berries do you eat? 3. Suddenly the farmer who owns the berries appears and gives you hell. What do you say in your defense? 4. After all is said and done, how did the berries taste? And how do you feel about your berry-stealing adventure when it is over? via Cosmo…oh hush…its comforting. Thank you. Sincerely, Real Drama Queen The main reason I like award shows: the pre-award shows. Because thats usually when something cool is likely to happen. But this year was such a let down. Its pretty horrible when Joan Rivers turns out to be the best pre-show host. Whoever thought of letting Tony Danza and that loud mouth chick from NY host on VH-1 should be fired. And MTV was just horrifying. All of those people kissing ass…being shallow and superficial. Nothing cool. Even Kid Rock and Busta Rhymes were subdued. Fred Durst seemed pissed people kept asking him about Eminem instead of him. Plus I think he was a little mad RATM beat him out for the rock song category.(hey – did you hear the rumor that Chris Cornell may be RATM’s new lead singer?) Melissa Etheridge was cool and the whoever that girl was wearing the body tattoo as her dress was pretty good too. The most flakey vote goes to Fiona Apple. I think we have to put her in the Sinead O’Conner category now.As far as the Grammy show: 1. Best performance – I have to say the Eminem/Elton John duet was really good. Then Madonna – she’s just sexy. And the guys with the blue faces beating the drums while the woman sang Moby’s song. 2. Best-dressed: Eminem dressed up like a pirate. Faith Hill during her performance. Madonna during hers. 3. Best spoilers: Steeley Dan … and U2. 4. Best moments: No NSYNCS, Britneys, or Christines won. 5. Best wins: Lenny Kravitz, Foo Fighters, and RATM 6. People who obviously were not there: Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, ummm…Michael Jackson. 7. Who I hope is not around next year: Destiny’s Child 8. Who I hope shows up next year: Nashville Pussy
Monday, February 19, 2001 Tonight: Everlast. I gotta get ready. 🙂
Sunday, February 18, 2001 I guess there must be a little bit of redneck in me. I always liked stock car racing. I’ve been to the Daytona 500 more times than I can count. And my favorite has always been #3. Today #3 died after crashing into a wall on the last lap of the Daytona 500. Driving right ahead of him to the finish line was his son. A car owned by #3 won the race. Damn I feel so sad and eerie. Three days of a water fast … now 2nd day of a juice fast. Oranges, pears, and yams taste so good liquified. Especially after nothing but water for three days. 1. Bottled water is the best.
When asked what I do for a living I always reply, “I work for the family business.” And inevitably I’m always asked, “What? The Mafia?” So in the future I’ll just give out my mob names depending on the situation and leave them wondering.(fun found at Jish) Psuedo Internet Mob Name: “Dreamboat” Both absolutely on target of course. I’ve been to a lot of live music performances in a lot of different venues. But last night had to be the best one yet. I was transported back to a time when rock clubs were the cool thing going in Atlanta. I guess its true … whats goes around comes around. More on this later when I wake up. In the meantime…think about this formula: real rock music on real instruments by people who LOOK rock and roll. Then add semi-naked women. Mike…yes I am a little kooky but I’ll get to the fasting theories later. When I wake up. And when my hearing returns. My mind and heart is on someone who is going thru a bad time. I wish I could make it all go away for you baby. I know … I really know what you are going thru and I am here when you need me. Anytime. All the time.
I’m on the second day of a three day fast and I’m starting to float over into that euphoria that comes along with fasting. And before I get any “OH GOD…thats so bad for you and you could die and why do you want to do that?” comments … don’t worry I’m taking Vitamin E. Tonight: Nashville Pussy. 🙂
Wednesday, February 14, 2001 Valentine’s Day. Its a girl day no doubt. 🙂
Monday, February 12, 2001 I don’t think Al will mind if I give a little deep down burning to my Valentine. And no it didn’t come from Napster. I own five Al Green albums. And I feel like sharing. ~here I am baby~ I want to see “Hannibal”. I really do. Hopkins and Oldman. damn. But I’m too scared. So I’ll just wait for “3000 Miles to Graceland”. Viva la Elvis. Viva la soundtrack(click the official site too…its worth it just for the cheesy intro). Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell doing Elvis. Thats just too good. Russell looks like he did when he played Elvis in the first “after Elvis died” movie. Its called “Elvis, The Movie” of course. And if anyone has a copy to sell …mail me or keep it cause its a collector’s item now. Now I need to watch Ally and then “The Scarlett Letter”. I know it sucks but I crave some Gary Oldman right now. And I crave you. I have no problem admitting I’m addicted to Napster. Frankly its been the best show in net culture since it got underway about a year ago. Now today somebody is trying to stop all this fun for about 50 million people. And I’m a little pissed off about it. I’ll put my instincts on the line and predict there will be some bad backlash over this for the RIAA and those it represents. There’s a little bit of underground rebel in all of us. And quite frankly Napster is probably the best(and cheapest)promotion any artist could ever hope to get in spite of any management, tour, or blue suited organizations. Let’s think here people. Exposure = sales. Duh. And I have a new crush on that Shawn Fanning kid…(cradlerobber that I am ;)He seems to be holding up tough in shark infested waters. I like that … and in the meantime I’ll do my own little boycott on all those artists who support banishing Napster … or if its something I can’t live without I’ll just borrow it and burn a copy. Hey don’t make me mad. I’ve got money to spend. 🙂
Saturday, February 10, 2001 Get it while you can? All those direct Napster links posted here and elsewhere might be obsolete after Monday. Despite my ever ready optomism I still know what I’ll be doing in my spare time this weekend.
Friday, February 09, 2001 Merle Haggard stood me up last night. He cancelled the very first night of his tour. Maybe all those lines he talked about doing long ago got to him. And there I was all ready to wear the red cowboy boots I’ve been saving up. Blah on you Merle…but I still like you. But I won’t be sad long cause I just found out Nashville Pussy will be at the Kaya Bistro in Atlanta next week. Of course I’m not quite sure what they were thinking when they scheduled themselves for that place. (pssst. its a disco) … but its $10 to get in and guaranteed a good show. Raunchy and loud. Plus I get to finally find out if the new guitar player that replaced Corey…the big tata firebreathing woman…can match up. Although Ruyter Suys is the real show … vereee sexy girl.
Wednesday, February 07, 2001 The NET gods are right once again! I tried the poetry mood soothing test courtesy of Captainfez (he always finds the best stuff) and yes indeedy the results are right on target. Ow. It hurts to be pining. pssst … ahluvyuhbad baby. And I’ll hide out with you anytime. Anywhere. Irene’s mood for today…scary how these little psycho tests can pinpoint Aaaah… you’re pining for that special person, aren’t you? Here’s a love Oh, think not I am faithful… Oh, think not I am faithful to a vow! Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892 – 1950) The pre-sale ticketing plan for the U2 Tour apparently does work. Random playlist of the day: “Vent” – Collective Soul I love Jesse Ventura but this time I think he’s promoting the wrong “sport” . If you love Panheads the way I love Panheads… Australians have good junk too. Check out Elvis’ “Blue Hawaii” LP for $2!! I must admit I was pretty stupified when Eminem was nominated for all those Grammy awards … but I never considered maybe it was just a In the meantime … yum yum yum. Thanks to the Yankee for sending this one … S&P; Assigns PAULA Assurance Co. ‘Bpi’ Rating NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Standard & Poor’s–Nov. 27, 2000– Standard & Poor’s today assigned its single-‘Bpi’ financial strength rating to PAULA Assurance Co. (PAULA Assurance). Key rating factors include volatile earnings and narrow product and geographical scopes. In addition, the rating is limited by the single-‘Bpi’ financial strength rating on PAULA Insurance Group, of which PAULA Assurance is a member. The company does, however, exhibit extremely strong capitalization and liquidity…. Is that similar to a tarot reading? 🙂 And the children have spoken. Goodnite. kiss kiss.
Tuesday, February 06, 2001 Its good to be a Georgia Bulldog. I said its good to be a Georgia Bulldog. Fortunately for me I was able to attend UGA when it was “dumbed” down. Otherwise I might have ended up at Georgia Tech. lalalala.. 🙂 Speaking of which…when I need tutoring on XML, Powerpoint, Flash 4, Italian, or how to crochet … I can get it here.
Monday, February 05, 2001 Remember DotComGuy? He lived in his E-cave for a whole year as a promotional stunt to prove anyone could survive without leaving home as long as they had a laptop and a internet connection. Well he did survive and left the cave on January 1 stating he was taking a break from the net. But now he’s back with a new website and a new fiancee he met in a chatroom during his virtual imprisonment. This makes me feel a little better about my net addiction. Wait a minute. Do we still call it an addiction or a way of life now?
Sunday, February 04, 2001 Random playlist for today comes out of the Feb. issue of CMJ. “Pauline” – Eleni Mandell … swoony growler…”I wore black…I wore heels…I wore a tight T-shirt” plus I’m a Pauline..:) “Demons” – Fatboy Slim with Macy Gray doing the vocals. This is best “Woman in Blue” – Pepe Deluxe … out of Finland. At first I said no way because its basically just sampling…but then it grew on me. “Things are Gonna be Alright” – Acetone…Think about slow sexy guitar rifts and Everlast singing without the rap ish. Thats it. There’s a funky little flea market online at Popula. I saw this and got a little teary-eyed. Flamejob selling a Cramps T-shirt. Why? I was first introduced to the Cramps by a guy nicknamed Flamejob. Turns out there are a lot of Flamejobs out there in the world but not too many bmfs. (I know I’m gonna get in trouble for that one.) I bid. I was outbid. I bid again. Of course I thought it was a unique item and I WANTED that shirt…as it turns out you can get them brand new all day long at Weathermen Records along with just about any other punky shirt you might desire. So I KNOW I’m getting one now. Need a slightly used T-shirt depicting a woman in spiderweb panties at modest cost? I find it a little insulting that someone from HOLLYWOOD would call this item “bizarre and seriously strange”. Obviously she/he did not have a Southern grandmother. ALL BABIES in the South had their shoes bronzed back then. And I have some to prove it! Nooo … they are not mine! I think its kinda..umm..heartwarming for some odd reason. Obsession for powder boxes is very normal.
Saturday, February 03, 2001 The 2001 Ozzfest line-up has been announced. Significant because it means the concert season is about to crank up in Atlanta again. This year Black Sabbath will be back after coming out of retirement. Thank god for those “last tour” promotions which are always a sure guarantee of a band’s return. Just like Ozzy. I’m hoping Ozzy is still touring in the afterlife. I love Ozzy. 🙂 I really hate to bring up these little monsters again but who can identify this Ozzy look alike? Or maybe its Gary Oldman as Dracula? His only identifying mark is “Dishmop”. P.S. Marilyn Manson will be there. Wanna come? We’ll have vodka and cherry juice and speak to the goths again if you want. I want. I loved this morning. I put on the headset, closed my eyes, and picked “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”(T-Bone Burnett), After I got the music set…I got comfy with coffee, a creditcard, and Ticketmaster. Now all I need is somebody very cool to go with me. The lineup thusfar: 2/8 Merle Haggard (vintage punk rebel!) I missed out on U2 because I slept a week too late which is ok … but I am disappointed because PJ Harvey is the opener. 1-800-SCALPER. Waiting for: Ozzfest! Best sources: Pollstar Ok I’m happy.
Thursday, February 01, 2001 Ok I take back that “(i’m a pussy) read between the lines” comment I made earlier. Now we’re ready to rumble!! Somehow we just knew it was a good love/hate story. So this is Walter C. signing off for the night. Peace and remember one thing. It’s all gonna be allright. Axl made a comeback and turns out p.s. just look how I loved my new Blogger today! Go Blogger…Go Blogger (damn you all know the link by heart anyway)…I didn’t make that button for nothing. In an effort to get on the pre-sale ticket bandwagon I found this website to possibly be more confusing than my own. Finally! Some nominees to choose from! Now I can sensibly vote. And oh hahaha on the Miss Chicky nomination. All I can hope for is I’m not the one who has the bad hair. I was kidding. I was kidding. geez. 🙂 And speaking of contests. Props to the winners. But I still say this…this… Oh except … the hammylicious award. Its a TIE! hmmm … a couple of days ago I thought to myself I’m going to give Blogger another try. I’m going to stop with the “handmade” posting and simplify my online life. I was so excited. I even figured out how to add Blogvoices…comment count and all. I was so tickled to see “1 comment” on my very first post. So here I sat … feeling all good about how wonderful and eloquent my second day entry would look on my new Blog. I just wanted to sit back and look at it. Relish it. Edit it. So I posted it. oh … oh … oh … it looked so fine. Then it happened. I hit the refresh button just so I could get all quivery seeing it load onto the screen again. I waited. Nothing. White frame. No words. No cute little icon. No “I Love Blogger” button that I had made so lovingly. I hit refresh again. Still nada. So I went thru the process. Reloaded. Reinstalled. Shut down. Fired up. Maybe its the browser. Maybe its just me. Fucking FTP. Then it dawned on me. I can see everything but the frame where the Blogger lives. ah-ha. Maybe it wasn’t me. So I started to investigate. My first stop would be the man in the know. Jish. Yeah … and there he was being all diplomatic and stuff about the whole crisis. And, oh lordy, I knew we had trouble when I see his little Blogvoices cloud: “comments temporarily disabled”. But he also gives me what I want. Information. I have to give this guy a lot of credit. Mainly because he has the balls to just come right out and say what the problems are … instead of giving Plus for the first time ever … I saw :::fresh chicky::: on the front page. To JJ: I saw a guy on Howard Stern one night. Normally I wouldn’t You know how it goes when something intrigues you? You want to talk about it. You bring it up in those vague conversations you have I was at the bookstore. I saw a thin paperback book with a naked man on it. Guess who it was? Uh-huh…plus it had this title: 101 Survival Secrets-How to Make $1,000,000, Lose 100 pounds, and Just Plain Live Happily I knew I had to buy this book. I’ve found out a lot of guys don’t like Richard Hatch. They don’t really seem to know why. They just don’t. I bought the cheesy book. It took one hour to read it. Its simple, forthright and kicks butt. JJ…I have to agree with you. I had to read that statement over a few times and really think about it. Hatch says its about not wasting your time trying to be somebody you think other people will like. Know why you are there and what you want from any given situation. What does it mean to me? It means I don’t have to conform to suit anyone but myself. How about these other Hatchisms? Selfishness is a virtue. Learn what you want from somebody else and not what somebody else wants from you. 1:06 AM | Comments [0] |
