2:28 am	la florida Well, I'm now in Florida. On sprrrring break. Fairly uneventful day of travelling... Feels wierd to be back at my old stomping grounds, staying in my old bedroom from highschool (transformed completely now into my parents office). Lots of old memories tug at me, can't really help but feel some nostalgia, along with a bit of nausea for this place... A lot has changed. And also a lot hasn't. Interesting how that works... Got in contact with my best friend George, one of the few (only?) people who really knows who I am and where I've come from. Back before I became such a callous asshole. :) George now lives in a house with his soon to be fiancee(Sarah). How the time flys. We're getting old. heh. Tried to make it an early night tonight, but I'm getting double teamed by my friend insomnia as well as the time change... 2:34 am right now eastern time, which means its 11:24 pacfic time, which of course, is what my internal clock is on. It's nice to see mom. I missed her a lot, has been more than a year since the last time I've seen her... As crazy and OCD as ever. I love her a lot, I wish it worked out that we could be closer instead of as far apart from each other as possible (and still be in the same country). I think I'll probably go to the beach tomorrow... Time to get un-pasty. ---------------- thats all you get (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:55 am	Timing they say... is everything. Well let's see. Been turned down from all the positions I've interviewed with so far. Because I don't have "work study." Apparently, I am not eligible for work study, due to the fact my father is fairly successful. Suck! Of course, my dad got to where he was, by being pretty fruggle and tight about his money. Thus, he usually is not very excited to give me any saying "No one gave me any money when I was in college! I had to work 70 hours a day up hill both ways!" Yeah yeah... Of course, back in the day it only cost a quarter to see a movie. Anyway, times are hard. Thank christ for .99 cent whoppers. I have a new interview setup for Friday, its with a photography company: http://www.pictureman.us/ Not the most glamerous gig, but hey, its a job. And I do like taking pictures and bullshitting with people, so it might be fun. It sounds like you get to do a bit of travelling too, which I also really like. Who knows. I also am *really* getting excited for my Florida trip. I'm going to head up to Portland this Saturday, hang out a bit, and then fly out in the AM on Sunday. It will be good to catch some equatorial sun rays... mmmm.. I can feel the burn already. I just talked to my Friend Jason Kamrass (aka DJ Silver/Silpher for those of you who know him), and he is working in Key West right now with Mike D (the ol' bartender from Mona Lizzas, for those of you who know him). I'm going to try and take a slight detour down to key west while I'm in florida. It would be SO RAD, to see Jason and Mike D as well as Jenae who is staying with them... It'd be crazy to see some Oregon friends in Florida. How wierd is that. I found a flight from Tampa to Key West, only $126.00 bucks round trip... That's totally do-able, and Jason said he'd give me 60 bucks toward it... so Fuck. I think I'm going to Key West. I'm in a not half-bad mood today. I think I'm going to go to Burger King. ---------------------- That's all you get. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

5:42 pm	now that is interesting. like a 1 stomach'd cow. Fate works in mysterious ways.. hmm.. Wait, isn't Fate bullshit? Anyway. A job was posted today at the school career center that could be my saving grace... nice pay and cushy net admin job over at the UO History deptartment. And they are hiring before the end of the month.... I gotta play my cards right... Interview is setup for Monday. I didn't get the last tech job I applied for, due to it being mostly mac. I am more hopeful for this job due to it being basically a windows and unix enviornment... yay, thats what i know. Another interesante development is that it looks like the gentle hand of 'fate' will be pushing me in the direction of moving even sooner then I expected. My roomate let me know that our lease is up in May and that he expects to not re-new it... Thus. I need to find a new place to live. Not completely shocking nor unpleasant news. It's time to move anyway. Anyone in Eugene or the greater area looking for a roomate? Shoot me a message. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

9:37 am	less funk more junk Just got back from court. I can't believe I just woke up at 6am to drive to Salem for that. It wasn't even "court" for that matter. I walked up to a Clerk window, asked how I plead (no contest), and then told to pay my fine. Where was the judge? Where was the Jury? WHERE WAS THE DRAMA? This took all of 1 min. My "Court time" was at 9am. I was already on the road back to Eugene by 8:30. I guess I shouldn't be complaining, but golly, I was all worked up for this- They could have at least had firey brimstone or liquid lava pits to jump over. SOMETHING! Anyway. I know it's a week day and all but... Time to spark up to Victory. And then shoot some pictures. Ciao. (9 Comments |Comment on this)

11:08 pm	less junk more funk Well Today was eventful... After a wonderfully sleepless night I got up at the ass crack of dawn to go pay some more money to the courts because I am a bad man. Met with one of my major clients today about a website project we've got going. Things seem to be on track. Hopefully they will pay me soon now. :) It also seems like there are a bunch of other projects on the horizon from these guys... Which I sure could use! After that, took a day trip to Portland with my friend Micheal... Was somewhat entertaining, but I probably would of been more productive if I stayed home. Man... Debt is poo poo. People my age aren't supposed to have this much stress? Oi. I guess I'm getting old though aren't I. I wonder if I can sell a Kidney. Do people really do that? I mean... You have two right? heh. Tomorrow I have to go to salem for Court at 9am... I expect I will probably get my license suspended *le sigh* (5 Comments |Comment on this)
3:15 am	clock goes tock it looks like its another one of those glorious sleepless nights. ive been lying in bed for like 4 hours so far, with sleep seemingly far behind me. hello insomnia how are you? there are just too many things i need closure on in my life right now. too many unknowns. vacation in 2 weeks. wonder if i'll make it? thinking of possibly moving back to portland when i come back from florida. i haven't really told anyone that, yet. oops. i wonder what mary is up to at this hour, a little comfort might be nice.

12:19 pm	where am i? Just got back from a ragin' Portland weekend... or should I say, week? I ended up spending 4 days in pdx instead of two... Thats how it goes sometimes though! :) Saturday was dinner with my Dad, his girlfriend, and a bit of extended family and friends... Was great- I had meself a huge ass steak- I love eating with my parents... gooooood fooooood. We ate at Carafes, which is on 4th and market in pdx. I would DEF. go back to this place- great wine selection as well... Kinda pricey, but hey, what are you gonna do. After the fine dinner, we went to the ballet- Saw a performance of "Firebird." Wow, so moving, what can I say. I've always enjoyed watching dance, especially to music... Contemporary dance is great 'n all, but there is something about the grace and subtlty of classical dance that just mezmorises me. The music was phenomenal as well- it was accompanied by a live orchestra. Beauty. Full. The next night was followed by all night partying for my Dad's GF's 52nd birthday (she was a leap year baby, so technically she's only 14 I think. ha ha.) Don't be fulled, my parents party harder then most of you kids do haha. The theme of the party was 1965, so everyone was dressed up in their 60's attire... Haha very fun and funny... I think we started drinking about 5pm, and finished around 1am or so... I can't really remember..... Next day was more traditional fam' time which was great.... I love my family. My dad's girlfriend (Cynthia) does PR for Portland Center Stage, as well as OBT / Oregonian and the syphony, so the ticket kick downs are plentiful. I snagged two tickets for the next performance of Firebird, which is going to be this coming Friday... Still trying to find a lovely lady to accompany me- any takers? My buddy Freaky Chakra is having his CD release party the next night at the.... OHM I think? Anyway, one of those PDX bars... I plan on hitting that up as well. So it should be another mega weekend! I'm excited... IN work news... I have an interview as a Net Admin for a company here in town HOPE EC. I'm not really sure what they are all about, but luckily, IT jobs are pretty standard from one company to another, so its not too big a deal what industry they are in. Plus its near my house and they want to pay me more then I'm making now... . I dare say... Are things looking up? Now... just to find a hot date... (3 Comments |Comment on this)

2:43 pm	The penis Bottle So I woke up this morning, and took inventory of my situation- just like I do every morning. I was still in most of my clothes and had one shoe on, and an rca cord had snaked its way around my left leg. Now this picture is not altogether unusual, especially after a night of drinking- its just how it goes. However, what was a bit unusual, was the PENIS BOTTLE that I found in the back of my car, half full of vodka. Alicia? Pam? :) I think this is yours. AND IF YOU WANT YOUR PENIS BACK YOU MUST PAY ME ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Anyway, grand nigh at John Henry's with nessa and gina... Thanks for coming out! And for punching all those guys in the face and getting them to buy us drinks. Weee. Nice day today. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

1:51 pm	Crabs are Crabby ... And so am I! This Live Journal thing is strangely addictive. I suppose the appeal is getting your (sometimes personal) frustrations out there in writing, and maybe on a subconsious level hoping the related person or someone in a relative situation will read it.... Indeed. Well, we have ourselves yet a new, beautiful, and rainy Oregon day. Mmmm. I remember living in Florida, and just CHERISHING they cloudy days or days where the temperature was sub 60's 'n people were in a panic wearing their snow jackets... Ahh Florida. I've been thinking more about Florida lately- what would of happened if I hadn't stuck my tail between my legs and run from that place? Where would I be now? Would I be more happy? Less? I surely do miss my friends, that is for sure. I've lost touch with all but two basically- but for those two I am extremely thankful. I forget how nice it is sometimes to have people around who "know where you came from." I'm going back to Florida March 19th for some R&R and to grab up a few club gigs. It's cheesey, and commercial as hell down there, and a meat market... but hell, its still fun to play...what can I say. My whole life has had a lot of distance in it... Nothing has ever been near, or easy. From early fucked up child hood broken family blah blah drama, and having parents that chose to live on complete opposite sides of the country... And the majority of my romantic relationships have seemed to span distances as well. I've never been comfortable living in one place for very long... the longest I've lived somewhere has been about 6 years, and I'm about to eclipse that with my stay here in Eugene. Let the good times roll. (7 Comments |Comment on this)

4:58 pm	A broken window Time is funny. Sometimes it goes fast, sometimes it goes slow... Now, I know I am not "old" per say, however, I am definitely starting to become more and more acutely aware of the passage of my time and how I am spending it. Quarter life crisis anyone? Work has slowed down for me dramatically. The fashion industry runs in predictable patterns. You design a product, You manufacture a product, and then you market a product. After it's in the hands of the marketing people there is typically a bit of sitting around, (hopefully)waiting for the money to return so you can make more product... I'm in the sitting around stage right now. Working for myself is typically fantastic, however, one of the things I can complain about is the unpredictability of workload- and that it is NEVER- just right. It's always too little or too much. I think I've been feeling a bit more isolated too lately- friends are moving away, getting married, having kids... Work and school have kept me tied to my home quite a bit lately, and its been less and less easy to get out and meet people. Christ, and why does my ex-girlfriend have to live 2 blocks down the street from me! This weekend I will be going to portland for my Dad's GF's birthday. It will be nice to get away (as usual) and see family as well. Now to think of somehting to do tonight. hmmmmmm.... any ideas anyone? (Comment on this)

4:55 pm	zorkle noight Well... It's Laundry Day for me... So might as well post on this thing while I'm killing time. It's been a busy week- Work has been insane. So many projects have been coming my way, currently making a website for a belt and buckle maker... www.beltboyz.com Kind of a retarded name, but hey, whatever works I guess. You can check out the progress at www.beltboyz.com for that. Last night was a blast, hung out with Ashlee and Sami... we went to the "cam chicks" house... home of alicia, gina, and nessa. Some very cool gals. We made a date to go to '80's night this Thursday... so that should be some more great debauchery. I think I drank a bit too much though, my head is still pounding and its like 5pm the next day! I got pulled over on the way home last night from their house. I was *this* close from getting a DUI. Maybe something is trying to tell me something?? I managed to pass the sobreity test, and by the grace of the goddess, the cop let me go... FUCK that was close. To top things off, apparently when I got home last night, I left my wallet on the top of my car... Luckily, my roomates girl came by this morning at like 7:30am cuz she was getting pixies tickets and she found it before someone else did... woo. ANOTHER close call. Which leads me to another thing. I DIDNT GET MY PIXIES TICKETS. They sold out in like 6 mins. I'm a bit upset, I really love the pixies and would love to have seen them. My friend Abe, who books the wow hall, is trying to get them to do a show there, so who knows... maybe it will work out. In music stuff, I'm really starting to get somewhere with my productions I think... been in dialogues with other producers around the country and have been getting some great constructive feedback on my work. I've got about 10 songs produced now, and I'm putting together a Mixed demo of it all. I'm extremely excited about this project... But it might be taking a bit too much of my time up... Work is starting to get a bit neglected! Music is so fun though.... :( I'm playing a bar tonight in PDX. Not really that excited, mainly, I don't want to drive 2 hours today. I usually dont mind, and in fact, usually enjoy driving quite a bit- but my driving luck has been a bit shitty lately and im just not excited to get into my car. Buying a sports car has been a bit more than I have bargained for, in terms of the attention I get with it. mostly from cops. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:44 pm	...everybody else is doing it Due to the pressure being exerted by collegues and friends alike, I've finally caved and gotten a live journal. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? Anyway, this weekend I went to seattle to see an act from Sweden called "Ticon". They are a progressive/psychidelic/trance act... Awesome show, and awesome people. The attendance wasn't sprectacular, but there were like at least 3 other electronic shows going on in Seattle that night- so we all knew it wasn't going to be huge. And damn, Psytrance girls are hot! It's always so good to get out of Eugene- I'm soo sick of this town- it's gotten way too small for me, on the claustrophobic level. Looking forward to moving to portland or seattle asap.
