Would anybody be interested in buying a never used green iPod Mini (with box, all included accessories) from me? I am selling it for $195... which is cheap when you consider it retails for $250. Hell, even if you have no desire to own one, you could buy it and probably sell it on eBay for the full price (thus, you know, making a profit or something). If interested, email me or post a comment... thenobody[at]cox.net ...
In other news, ear infections, fevers, and nausea fucking suck. That is all. |

My girlfriend got into a really bad car wreck yesterday (her car flipped over 3 times!). The car is totaled, but she is okay (outside of some bumps, cuts, and bruises), and there was no one else involved. She has a medical condition in where if she does not eat something every so often, she is prone to blacking out, and apparently yesterday she did not get enough to eat. Fortunately, she was on a back road in Piedmont yesterday, so no one else was involved. After the wreck, she went to the hospital, but they released her and told her to not work for the next three days. I am just thankful she is not dead. I don't know what I would do.
On a lighter note, here is a video of Asmodeus X playing at SynthFest. It's 43.8 MB long, so if your on dial-up, I really wouldn't bother unless you are a fan of their music. (It's taking me forever to encode these SynthFest videos... it can take up to 2 hours on my slow computer to finish the encoding process, sorry for anyone who might be interested in seeing these.) |

My girlfriend and I purchased a guinea pig a few days ago. His name is Pot. Here is a picture of him while we were taking him home.
He kicks ass. Or something like that. |

Here are a few random pictures I took from SynthFest 2004
I have more, but they are not digital, so I have to process and develop them and then scan them.
Also, here is a (34 MB) video of God Project playing at SynthFest in case anyone is interested. I am kinda pissed off by the video though because there was an annoying smudge on the lens, and I didn't notice until much later. I also have videos of a few of the pyros, Unitcode:Machine, Asmodeus X, and Random Access Memory. I'll put those up later once I am done encoding and compressing them. |

I just payed for the :Wumpscut: Oma Thule 7" single which I have been wanting for... a really long time. It is hella rare (only 500 copies were pressed back in... 1995 I think). I can't wait until it finally arrives. |

Wes (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) reverendisease) and I are again working on more flyers for another upcoming event. We hope to have them done by... today! We hope to be able to get them out at SynthFest and promote the next upcoming event.
Damn though, it's draining my energy working on these things so long (actaully... it's just been one day since we started... but we worked on it all afternoon and evening, and I continued to work on it all night)... if I have to look at Photoshop one more time, I think my head is going to explode. Sad thing is, I think they are turning out pretty bad looking. Meh.
Anyways, I gotta get some sleep so I can wake up in 4 hours to get back to work on these and hopefully find a place to print a large amount of them (cheaply). |

| Upcoming documentary film screening |
[Sep. 6th, 2004|03:30 am] |
| [ | mood |
| | calm | ] |
Copied from the American Civil Liberties Union website for Oklahoma (http://www.acluok.org).
"The ACLU of Oklahoma will present a screening of the documentary film 'Unconstitutional' from producer Robert Greenwald at 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 15 in the Noble Theatre at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, 415 Couch Drive. 'Unconstitutional' is a work filled with startling revelations about the erosion of civil liberties in the three years since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. ACLU National Executive Director Anthony Romero and Legislative Director Laura Murphy are featured prominently in the film."
For anyone who might be interested. |

I'm so tired, and I can't fall asleep. I hate it when that happens. I suppose thats what I get for drink so much Blue Ox, Red Bull, and Amp in one sitting. At least I am not sick like I was a few days ago... that was totally not fun. Perhaps I should use this day to complete some tasks I have been meaning to get done. |

| New Flyer |
[Aug. 27th, 2004|03:24 am] |
So Wes (reverendisease) and I finally finished up working on a new flyer for SynthFest. Hopefully, everyone will like it and hopefully, it will get all the necessary information across. Everyone who has seen it so far agrees it is better than the old multicolor flyer.
Any way, here it is. Feel free to print it, copy it, distribute it... whatever. Just get the word out about Synthfest.

I was finally able to get out of my house and do something interesting yesterday. I went with Wes (reverendisease), Jasper (layer_of_light) and a few other people to see The Exorcist movie that came out yesterday. It was good to finally see them again after such a long while. Afterwards, we went to Jasper's and a few of us played Halo on his Xbox. This probably sounds pretty boring to most people... but I hardly ever get to leave during the day (and it's difficult to visit people at night since most are asleep and such), so this was a very welcome change from my normal routine.
Yawn. And now I fall asleep... |

So, anyway, I tried to go to the Meetup, and I couldn't find anyone. But, as it turns out, I'm practically retarded, and apparently Ian was there and I didn't see him... bah. Goddamn I hate making so many fucking mistakes. |

For the past couple of days, I have been working on a paper mache box/prison/state of mind. I really hope it comes out like I want it too, but at the rate I am going it will take about three months to finish painting it and adding details (I'm not kidding). Through it, I am trying to represent how society shapes the superego (our moral standards), and it's conflicts with the id (our most primal desires... sex, violence, etc.)... I am also trying to convey through it that individuality and freedom is only attainable only in the mind. This is the first time I have tried to do anything semi-artistic in a long time (about two years). I really hope it doesn't come out looking like crap. I don't expect it to look great, but I hope it just looks good enough to display in my room. Perhaps I will put pictures of it up later... if it doesn't look to bad anyway.
Anyway, I am going to the goth.meetup.com thing tomorrow. I hope the people actually show up. I am pretty sure techspike and this other guy will go though.
I begin school next monday. I am only taking Photography and Personal Finances this semester though, as opposed to the usual four classes I have. I hope to actually learn something useful about money management in Personal FInancing since I will be moving out with my girlfriend extremely soon, and I am already worrying about our finances.
Okay. I'm hungry... I'm going to go eat a Boca Burger.
Bye. |

| Incoherent rant about reality and other completely unrelated things |

I am extremely tired right now... I haven't slept for two and a half days. Forgive me for the incoherent ramblings I am getting ready to type. Due to the lack of any talent for successfully expressing myself, I am positive this will make absolutely no goddamn sense. And even if it does, it is a hella boring topic. If this is your first time reading this... I'm not always like this. I'm sure once I get some sleep and wake up, I will just erase this entry and pretend it never happened.
Anyway...
I was thinking about reality just now. I keep coming to the conclusion (at least to me), that reality exists only in a person's mind. An individual's whole world is inside their mind... and it is a different world from person to person. One reality will claim there is an omnipresent being, while another will claim there is no omnipresent being, one reality will claim the government is "out to get us", while another will claim that the government is perfect, and one (the person perceiving this reality is usually deemed mentally unfit by society) reality might even claim that bugs are under their skin and that their "neck bones are slipping out of their body" (a reference the the schizophrenic quadruplets of NIMH). These realities, however familiar of foreign they may seem to us, are the worlds that some people inhabit... it is their perception... it is all in their mind. An individual that is deemed insane by society might tell you about how the CIA is after them and that their are insects crawling in their brain... although we would not recognize this "mentally unfit" person's perception of reality as valid... it would be very real to them... so real that your perceptions of reality would seem false to them.
I just now thought... if I were to die, the world and the universe surrounding would cease to exist. Every person, plant, and object existing would simply be no more. You could try to tell me that it is not true... you could tell me that if I die right now, that you and the world will continue to be. You could say that billions of people have died before me, and that the world still exists even though they are dead. However, it would make no difference to me... the world would be like a dream... it exists because of me... because I am the one imagining it (by the way, I think this would be called delusions of grandeur). Can you prove to me, that after I die, that the world will continue? When I die, you die and so does everyone else as far as I am concerned. I am no longer able to perceive (assuming, of course, that there is no after life), so there is no reality, there is no world... to me, it would simply ceased to exist.
Just so you know, the previous paragraph is a hypothetical situation... I am quite sure that the world will continue for quite a while after I die.
I don't really know where I am going with this... I am sure I will read this when I after wake up this evening... and I will probably hope no one has read it and quickly delete it... or if in the small chance I do like it, I will continue to improve and work on it... hopefully making it semi-coherent, and hopefully provoking thought... although I feel that if you are reading this, it merely provokes your feelings of contempt for my ignorance and generalization of my ideas... and the endless verbiage.
Whatever. I'm through embarrasing myself... I just got done finishing my philosophy and psychology books... and it inspired me type this pointless entry.
In other news, I went and saw the movie "Collateral" with a couple of my friends last night... maybe I was tired, but christ that movie has way too much pointless dialog in it. It was alright I guess... nothing memorable... I was wanting to see "AvP" since I am a dork who has loved Aliens and Predator since childhood, but the showings were already over. I heard that movie sucked also, but I'll still probably go see it anyway.
I am going to go to sleep. I am going to regret this post when I wake up. Please be kind if you decide to leave comments... or not. Goodnight. |
