two pretty short snippets. the first one is just like eight bars of some dancy kick i've been on lately and the second one is more drum and bass. mostly just me fucking around with panning drums.

so i set out to get a bass and an amp and i ended up getting both of those. i was going out to get a fender j-bass but i got an 80s japanese squier j-bass instead. also got a roland amp. carried those bastards a long ways home[with the bass in its hardshell, no less] but i have a bass now.

also, here's a song i started making:

http://drop.io/dgruddd

it seems to be a lot easier to mix down on this computer. i think the sound card jack was bad.

some shitty stuff has happened lately and so has some really great stuff. such is life.

what uuuup

so the job's great. i'm lovin it. as a result of learning a lot of computer-related knowledge and studying for certifications and shit, it's reignited a love for physics and math and i've also been getting heavy into some electronics. i think in the near future[after i get a bass guitar and such], i'm going to get components and a toolkit and attempt to build some effects pedals. i think i might try some existing schematics on a fuzz pedal with a few tweaks to make the wave "square-ier". i also want to make a digital synth processor as well as a crash sync.

as far as original designs go, i'm not sure my grasp of the concepts is quite at that level yet but i'm learning fast on a theoretical level. i would like to try and build a delay[this is difficult. most likely would require a 555 timer or built-in clock step as well as possible logic gates] and a harmonizer[this would rock so hard. have presets so it randomly generates intervals to what i'm playing. this would involve lots of NAND NOR, etc, etc logic gates and i'm not that sick yet]. much, much later on, i'd like to attempt to build my own synthesizer.

no luck on the bass yet. it sucks because i know this is going to get shittier the longer i wait but i've been working so much, i haven't found time to get in touch with anybody.

oh well! i'm flat broke but i get paid on friday.

i think if i do end up getting the amount of money i think i could swing off this lost bass situation, i'm going to pick up a j-bass, a nice amp, a roland sh-101, and if i can[which i probably won't because it'll be out of my price range because of its legendary status] a roland tb-303. if i can't get the last one -- which is a likely scenario -- i will opt for some sort of mixing board or 4- to 8-track.

shit feels like it's coming together!

so here's another snippet. this isn't so much a real song as it is just me messing around with delays. it builds up but ends right when it's getting good. i don't know. might be a throwaway or something i'll work on more. we'll see. just wanted to share. i'm warning you though... the chorus is pretty bitchin'

i feel like i'm getting better everytime i write something. i can basically sit down and write a slick eight bars really quick. this one i can almost picture playing live but it's missing something. needs to get intense. i kind of just want to make high-energy shit people can dance to. like take everything i'm into; the punk, the metal, the jazz, the hip-hop, the pop, the classical, the rock, the acid house, and everything else that i can't even enumerate and just jumble it into an amalgam unrecognizable, constituted of everything i love but mine and make something that kicks ludicrous amounts of ass. not quite there yet but i feel like i might be able to make it happen once i get my studio and a real bass setup. sounds more complicated than it is. i just want to make fun music really.

shit sounds like grating metal. just me dicking around. i've been pretty creative and productive lately just using reason to record a general idea and then starting from scratch. i don't have very many complete songs in reason because i don't really like the program much. it's pretty powerful stuff on a software/virtual hardware level but its sequencing is a joke. also, got a decent job. been enjoying life a lot more although it's pretty boring here. i want to be where shit is happening. i've been GOLFING a lot lately. i used to despise golf because my brother and dad are both hardcore about it so i was kind of turned off as a kid but i completely get it now. yeah, i'm pretty awesome.

man, so i have like two friends that i hang out with.

i'm really weird about answering my phone and i rarely do.

also, i think i'm becoming less social. i think it's more that i will not abide useless small talk anymore. i'm in search of the great conversation.

nobody around here seems to be able to provide.

i'd also like some time with a lady. doesn't even have to be sex. just a dinner or some wine and cheese or something. i don't know why.

i have almost no complaints. i rarely do anymore. anything worth complaining about isn't.

also, thanksgiving was hardcore. went over to my friends and had two beers and some weed. started to not feel so well, so i booked. while i was in the car, started to feel worse. threw up in my mouth. i tried to hold it in you know, one hand on the wheel, one hand over my mouth while i found a suitable place to empty the contents of my stomach. i was in my mom's car, so i definitely didn't want to puke all up in that. but then the puke in my mouth makes me puke again and i just ended up puking all over myself, which makes me puke more.

also, the weed gave me the shakes and made me feel like i was going to die.

peace kids.

2007-10-02T08:19:32Z

so i guess i might as well also update you all on my shit. that's what this thing is for, i guess.

we're not going to talk about my complaints or my problems or whatever. all that shit's cool.

i've been working on music and my shit's starting to come along; sounding real good.

observation: the way people interact with eachother is very bizarre. i'm speaking mostly of how men and women interact in a bar-type situation. the women all into themselves fishing for compliments; the guys all grouped in fours crotchhumping some lone girl who just came there to dance anyways and doesn't[or maybe does] want to get hit on. or even just the way people, regardless of gender, just don't even really pay attention or actually listen to eachother. maybe it's just the narrow scope of this town or the people i've been interacting with, but i really want to move to somewhere like chicago or vancouver or toronto or denver.

not that i even mind it here.

i'd like to just go somewhere even for a few days.

oh, but in terms of the real world, i might have a job and all my classes are a joke. things are fantastic, in a way.

Perhaps the greatest threat posed to the Medellín Cartel and the other traffickers was the implementation of an extradition treaty between the United States and Colombia. It allowed Colombia to extradite any Colombian suspected of drug trafficking to the US and to be tried in the US for the crimes. This was a major problem for the Cartel since the drug traffickers had little access to their local power and influence in the US, and a trial there would most likely lead to imprisonment. Among the staunch supporters of the extradition treaty were Colombian Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, Police Officer Jaime Ramirez and numerous Supreme Court Judges.

However, the Cartel applied a "bend or break" strategy towards several of these supporters. When attacks against the police began to cause major losses, some of the major druglords themselves were temporarily pushed out of Colombia, going into hiding while they ordered cartel members to take out key supporters of the extradition treaty.

Rodrigo Lara Bonilla was killed during rush hour when motorcyclists came up behind his car and opened fire. The death of Lara Bonilla was the final straw that persuaded the President of Colombia, Belisario Betancur, to sign the extradition of Carlos Lehder and push for more action against the drug cartels.

Jaime Ramirez, who had made the most busts and seizures of cocaine in the year and caused the Cartel heavy losses, was killed on the highway when Medellín assassins in a red Renault pulled up beside his white Toyota minivan and opened fire. Ramirez was killed instantly; his wife and two sons were wounded.

The Cartel issued death threats to the Supreme Court Judges, asking them to denounce the Extradition Treaty. The warnings were ignored. Sometime later, 35 heavily armed members of the M-19 guerrilla group raided the Supreme Court's building, leading to the Palace of Justice siege in November 1985. The army and the police attempted to rescue the hostages, but the operation ended tragically as many of the hostages were killed in the crossfire and heavy casualties ensued. Some claimed at the time that the Cartel's influence was behind the M-19's raid, because of its interest in intimidating the Supreme Court. The issue has continued to be debated inside Colombia.

so i was just thinking about things, ideas for a book, this photograph of a deer and a hunter and i step outside for a smoke.

it's pretty dark, so i flip on the outside light. i'm sitting there smoking and i keep hearing this weird noise. going against everything horror movies have ever taught me, i go to investigate the aforementioned noise, which is like a buzzing, humming, and clicking.

i didn't really notice at first and even when i did, i thought my garage door was just discolored, until i saw it moving. i realized that the ground by my garage door and a good portion of the panes were covered in ants; tens of thousands of ants. this kind of creeped me out at first, watching all these little things hustle and bustle about, somehow not bumping into one another or interrupting anybody else's work.

meanwhile, the winged ants were apparently getting the hang of having wings to go start new colonies.

i thought maybe they were in the house, because the other night, i felt something moving when i got into bed and there was an ant on my foot. so i go to check the inside of the garage where the door is[the ants lurking and swarming on the other side] and it is a stark contrast, not a single ant on the inside of the garage.

so i go back outside to finish my cigarette and note a fly in their midst. curious apparently, it keeps zooming around the ground. then it lands for a second and gets bitten a few times. two ants maybe, attacking it and then backing off. the fly is struggling to escape, each ant coming back, timing their attacks one after the other so they're moving in and out like little synchronized swimmers on the pavement.

then the fly is on its back and they get it into a corner. first, they bite it more. then, they carry it away, its legs still wriggling.

needless to say, i was kind of weirded out.

i can't really explain what i got out of this or how profound it seemed, as well as just being kind of neat to watch.

but it was fucking creepy.

ODIN, PATRON SAINT OF SANDWICH

2006-06-22T07:33:53Z

AND IT WAS BEHELD THAT LO! ALEX, GOD OF SANDWICH HAD, WITH HIS RESILIENT HAMMER AND UNBREAKABLE ANVIL, FORGED IN THE FIRES OF MOUNT KORGOTH THE TASTIEST SANDWICH THAT EVER WAS, EVER IS, THAT EVER WILL BE.

ITALIAN BREAD, WROUGHT WITH HERBS! SPAGHETTI SAUCE BETWIXT MUSHROOMS AND GROUND BEEF!! SLICED TOMATOES AND SWISS CHEESE ATOP! GARNISHED WITH PARMESAN CHEESE AND CAST FORTH TO THE FIERY OVENS OF SHIGGUROZ FOR TOASTING!!

EPIC BATTLES, OF WHICH THE DEFINITION OF EPIC BATTLES WERE HENCEFORTH DEFINED, WERE WAGED IN AN EFFORT TO HONOR AND SAVOR THE DELICIOUS DELICACY!

DEEMED BY A COUNCIL OF ELDERS TO BE ENTIRELY TOO TEMPTING FOR GODS AND MORTALS ALIKE TO CO-EXIST WITH, ODIN, PATRON SAINT OF SANDWICH, WAS CAPTURED ERE TOASTING COULD COMMENCE! FIRST LOCKED AWAY BY A SERIES OF THIRTEEN MAGICK SEALS, IT WAS SENT THITHER TO THE MINES OF J'RAK, WHERE THE NATIVE POPULATION USED BLACK ARTS TO QUELL THE SALIVATINGLY DEVASTATING RESISTENCE OF THIS PARTICULAR SANDWICH!

THE ADDITION OF THREE TYPES OF POTIONS DERIVE BY THESE DARK SHAMANS, EACH REQUIRING THE BLOOD AND TEARS OF THREE DIFFERENT DRAGON STAGS, QUELLED THE BEAST INTO FURTHER DEFENSIVE ARTS: CHAINS, WROUGHT IN THE CHASMS OF EARTH AND HELL, WERE LOCKED AROUND A TREASURE CHEST, WITH STEEL WORKED BY THE NOMADIC BLACK DWARVES AND WOOD COLLECTED FROM THE J'ORATH FOREST, BRAVED BY THOSE WHO WOULD FEAR NOT THE NATIVE ENTMAL!

O TODAY! WERE IT NOT FOR LOKI, IN HIS ETERNAL MISCHIEF, THAT HE UNLOCKED THESE MAGICAL PROCESSES ON A DATE, SIGNIFICANT BUT LOST TO SCHOLARS, AND BEGAN ANEW A PROCESS TO BEGET AN ALL-ENCOMPASSING DELIGHT OF TASTE EXPERIENCE!

AND SO IT WAS THAT NOT ONE, NAY! NOT ONE OF THESE DELIGHTS WAS CONSUMED, BUT A SECOND WAS FORGED ANEW TO JOIN! ROMULUS AND REMUS WERE THEY DUBBED BY THE FEW LUCKY ENOUGH TO BEHOLD THEIR CONSUMPTION AS THE FORGING OF THE DAWN OF SUSTENANCE!

BASED UPON A TRUE STORY THAT JUST HAPPENED AND WAS DELICIOUS!

so this is for you people who are into the TV series LOST. i totally just wrote a song about it in a semi-sleep deprived state. it will still be funny, but if you're into it, i guess you'll get the jokes more. man, i am a dork. keep in mind this is first season.

fuck that!

jack's a hunk, charlie's hooked on junk
locke's a beast, jin is from the east

get lost!

locke knows how to kill a boar
shannon's just a stupid whore
charlie couldn't sex his way
out of a wet paper bag

jack had to get stitches
hurley gets all the bitches
sawyer's kind of crass
but i'd do him in the ass

everyone thinks kate is hot
they say they'd like to rape her
but i say she's about as stacked
as 2-ply notepaper

sayid was in the republican guard
he's dating a fucking retard
but i guess you can't complain
when you're the only one getting laid

walt doesn't have a mother
michael doesn't have a wife
but locke's a fucking badass
at backgammon and knives

walt's the only child
so he has to deal with the others
if i could i'd send him a dollar
via sally struthers

4 8 15 16 23 42

sawyer likes to act
like he doesn't have a care
but we all know better
he wishes he'd never met her

boone looks like a guy
you'd see at any given kegger
he didn't chiggity check himself
so he wriggy wriggity wrecked himself

4 8 15 16 23 42

charlie's got a thing for claire
and jack's got a thing for angel hair
locke saw the eye
and what he saw was beautiful

when we're watching lost
i'm genuinely happy
all debating who's the craziest
all contemplating the patrick swayziest

when we're watching lost
it fills me with glee
but every two seconds
it's like OMFG

i love how action-packed this thing is. i stole this thing from tess!

i have a job interview with family video on monday, which excites me. in ways you can't know.

other thiiings have gotten more complicated, although concepts have been simplified. isn't that odd? how knowing where you stand and what the situation is with somebody else can actually complicate things further instead of making them even more cut and dry?

other than that, i'm a bored dude. i don't have a lot of money to fix that situation, but meh. hopefully, i get hired and become a working man once again. this would mark a record speed in how fast i have gotten a job from losing one.
