back from denmark. i'm leaving for school in a week. hello b-town. today i played pirate hide and seek with my cousins. apparently it's hide and seek, interspersed with some pirate action on their part. not sure on the rules, but we had a good time. really what i want to say is that i saw Cory at the lounge doing an open mic the other night, and it was fantastic. hooray for cory! and hooray for the cheat! i told cory, and i will tell you, that it was like entering an alternate universe upon returning. i've been gone for so long, and now things are just slightly different. for example, cory and jim (van fleet) are still musicians, but at the open mic each was playing a different instrument. and both of their haircuts are different. hmmm. maybe its not enough evidence to go on.

today was the first day of college for me...and i'm only seventeen! go figure, me and my youngness. gets me in trouble with the older boys...:-)

anyhoo, college is way cooler than high school. i can leave whenever i want. it's like being in prison for four years, then getting on probation. i'm still tied down, but i can leave the facilities.

i saw michael today as well. i met his friend..um...i forget her name. i'm sorry. but i'm sure i'll see her later.

this is turning into a shawn type dealy where i'm writing about nothing in particular. "that's what livejournal's for!" meh.

and i don't like that spammy crap that's going on. my old science teacher used to open a can of spam in class. from that point on, i vowed never to eat the stuff. but i have tried cow tongue. it tastes like really soft roast beef. it's good.

anyhoo, i miss you guys, all, and you should call me. i would call you, but i don't have your phone number. but you do have mine. but in case you don't feel like scrolling down to find it, 326-1986.

btw, NEVER mix your drinks. the consequences include, but are not limited to: headache, nausea, dizzyness, ralphing, the room spinning, feeling like your in a scene from "fear and loathing in las vegas," and/or making an ass of yourself. most of which happened to me. so, let that be a lesson to you all, and don't mix.

no drugs either.

ok, bye.

ok, hi there everyone. i have to apologise for the apparent idiots violating the excitement of our guestbookdom. in a few days i hope to be able to rectify this problem. at present, i do not have the knowledge to block stupid crap from the guestbook. if it doesn't go away, i will have to change the link. don't worry, you'll be able to access it from our homepage.

in other news, i am in india at present, practicing the sitar a lot. in the last two days i practiced about 9-10 hours. my legs hurt a lot, and my fingers, but the music is damn cool. yes. mmmmmmmmmmmm lost my train of thought. i'm learning a raag that's played during monsoon. very cool. i'll play it for y'all when i get back. i'm also taking yoga to help me sit on the floor all day and still be able to walk. ok, now i must say that i am not in favor of typing. however, you all should read oscar wilde's "the picture of dorian gray' it's fabulously well written, minus about 10-20 pages in the middle. at least read the preface. dig?

So it's twice in one day for me. Sorry for trying to contact Owen on here with things that do not pertain to Rebekah's Tape. Now, I have an idea for the BAND! Lauren, my roomie from Ottawa, is turning 21 on Friday, August 27th. Now, we fully intend on going to the bars and getting trashed that night, but if you guys are interested in coming to Urbana on Saturday, August 28th, we could set up a mini show in the parking lot of our building. It's kind of underground, but I think it would be a good place to play. Unfortunately, the only incentive to come would be for good fun music at the U of I again, and free cups for the band. We're currently too broke to pay for your services. Lemme know what you think...217.369.8669.

today -
Ok, well, you checked the guestbook, which is good...but we kind of need to discuss when we're leaving town. I was hoping we'd leave around noon tomorrow so that'll we'll get checked in and everything. Also, what time does the show start? I need some info here boys.

the silence of my brain, now tomorrow -
So I had a very stressful life event today. I booked my first hotel room online. I gave them my check card numbers and it made me nervous, but hopefully we'll have a room for this weekend boys. I also have directions printed out so we don't get lost. It looks like it's a 3 hour drive from Tonica. Other than that, my life is boring and I hope Owen will be bright enough to check this since his phone's off and he never checks his email...toodles

the matrix on tbs, 4:38pm sunday -
hey everyone i am at work i got here about seven...ish...supposed to be hereb at 6 ah well it is volenteer so i don't think i am going to get in trouble for it. now i am listening to M.S.I. they are great. 5 white gay rappers that sing about we.....being gay, and little girls, and not getting laid. they use lots of language that most woulc consider....foul....i call it great. my neck hurts. anyway i am running QNN it is easy. very boring, i think i do about 1 minute or two of work every 20 minutes, easy money. yay. very boring. i just thought i would throw this in, the the movie that comes out on the 13 of this month it is a little thing called ALIEN VX PREDATOR it looks like it is going to kick a whole lotta ass, you know to anyone who is actually interested in the subject, which i am.and i hope they make lots of kick ass little babies(sequals) that kick ass too, now watch it suck and watch them make like two more, but as we all know in hollywood they only make sequals to great movies.....a perfect example.......the matrix, yeah right. sorry i am a fan i own all 3 lets just say that it is not hte best trilogy ever. then again i don't really know what is the best trilogy ever, all the great movies have like 3 or more sequals, example, aliens, nightmare on elm street in most cases the first movie in the series is the best, i think hat is arguable with aliens. however it is definetly true with predator. i am ramebeling because i am bored. very bored, so i thought i would share some of my movie tastes with yall since really it is all i am about. movies and music, that is it, kind of sad how much into them i am, i don't have enough money to support that habbit, never the less i do my best. which reminds me to those of you who don't know ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND is released on dvd on the 28th of september, AND the remake of DAWN OF THE DEAD is released october 9th. yippie, that makes me happy i want to buy it badly it is a pretty decent remake i think. zombie movies are great. you know you see one zombie it is like "oh no a zombie i am scared" then you just run past the bastard, then when you get behind him you eyes start to focus and what you thought was a weird fog behind it was actually rows and rows of zombies, nest thing you know you are surrounded and we all know you can not run away from 8 billion zombies and we all know the there is not enough ammo in the world to get rid of all the bastards for the simple fact that they are so hell bent on eating your flesh that they never give up, and some of those little fuckers can take 3 or 4 shots, depending on where you shoot them and really in the heat of the moment not very many people would react by shooting them in the head, that would kill them in one shot, you have to disconnect the brain from the spinal cord, so i suppose if you ran out of ammo you could work up enough courage to decapitate them and that would work just as fine, however you really are not going to have much of a chance if you go around and try to decapitate 8 billion zombies, you would get bitten at least once i would think, and if you get bit well then the cycle all just starts over again because you will eventually turn into a zombie, sort of like vampires but slower and more determined and less smart and did you ever notice how it seems that vampire familys have tons of money, yeah zombies have no money, all they have is the undying taste for your flesh. i love zombies,cannibals or not.dammit these batteries died on me and i just got them they died in an hour and a half, how depressing is that, goood thing i got another set eh....then again i don't expect much from batteries that are four of nintey four cents. i don't feel ripped off just disappointed.chaning cds now i have moved on to beck mellow gold. i love this album. my tummy is getting upset. i ate some stuff and it was not all that great. then i ate some more of it. now i am drinking a coke, has anyone ever seen the movies THE BOODOCK SAINTS? if not you should watch it is very very very cool. one of my favorites i think, i think.i think it is almost break time yippie. that makes me happy. i would very much so like a cigarette. my knees hurt, they are both pretty fucked up, it was my past my short lived professinal hockey career, LOOK AT ME NOW MAW!!!I PRINT JUNK MAIL!!! on a saturday none the less because we are behind because we don't make enough of it during the week. right so i bet that everyone is pretty fucking sick of my pointless rambeling for the moment so i am going to go and let you all sleep in peace. boo-ya. remember that movie that shaq was in called shazam? he played a genie or something and he made candy fall from the sky, i knew at the very moment that i watched the first 30 seconds of that movie that my life was over and i should just do myself in, ah well fuck it, we all know i am too lazy to figure out an interesting way to to that. anyway the point is the tracy is great and she needs to find a companion of equal greatness, and just so you all know i have to approve or it is not going to work out between them......TRUST ME. right so enough is enough already, i am such a loser, sitting here at work on a saturday at 9 in the morning online signing my own guestbook, how lame is that. i am going to go smoke and leave you all alone now. bye bye.

Rebekah's Tape, SWE (remember them?), Union Street Jump, and the 1,2,3's (i believe thats the name, sorry if wrong), on Friday July 30th. Show starts at 6:30 is what Chris told me. 3 dollars. This is a charity show, although I'm not sure which charity. Mike/Shawn/Owen, we're not doing the p.a. I have a minivan now! So i can fit all our shit in my van and probably have room for 3 friends! If anyone in bloomington or anywhere for that matter, needs a ride and could meet at mike's house in minonk, i could give them a ride to and from the show, and back to mike's house, but loading time would be necessary. just email me. also, check out the link i have up there. free, full mp3.

So yeah, going home really sucks. Three generations of women in my family should not be allowed to be in the same location for more than 12 hours, I have decided. So just so everyone knows, when I move back to the Illinois Valley on August 8th, I will be bugging all of you to hang out. I can't find the prices for the Modest Mouse show in Chicago and it's really pissing me off. JJ is a lucky little punk. Shawn, or 559, you're OLD!!!!!! Someone, anyone, come visit me before I leave!!! And as a final note, get ahold of the new single by The Presidents of the United States of America. It's flipping hilarious; goes something like, "some postman is grooving to all our love letters, some postman is gonna cry." It's the good clean fun of the summer everyone!

hey, i hear ya shawn..as far as the headache....i was playing video games with dustin earlier, and it made my head hurt. I worked for 3 hours today. it was yet again pointless. J.J. i doubt you'll see this before you leave, but have fun in india. I suppose this is sort of a rant... not quite as cool as yours shawn but still.. I"m still shocked that you all thought im a slut. haha...funny shit funny shit... i decided that i want to get a shirt that says "quit starting love me." since today, i was walking home, and i noticed that 99.9% of the people that were driving by in cars...were starring at me... I have sorta grown acustom to this because it happens all the time, but i am once again finding myself annoyed by it. n e who...i guess i'll go now. keep on trucking

sorry no rant this morning i was in a bit of a downer mood, in like a deep depressive state like where you want to do nothing but die, we all know those. i as sure we do. i just get them once in a while, not ever really for any reason, i guess i am just a moody little bitch. anyway today all damn day i have had a hellacious headache, like one of the headaches where it feels like your brain is on fire and you can do nothing to put it out, yeah one of those. tim bought me burger king today, i wanted a cheese burger. still recieved no money from a friend, getting increasingly pissed about that just so you all know. i need to go home, take a nap, it is only 1012 and if feels like 8pm. i hate it, this day is dragging so bad it is not even funny. it just makes me think about all the fancy shmancy things i want to buy off of the internet and i can't afford any of it. argh. i am not in a good mood. fuck this i am leaving.

Hey y'all
You all might think shawn is just a whiny little bitch for complaining about work, but he's dead on. I work at the same place and it's the most completely fucked up job I've ever had. Our dept. head is a psycho ex-Marine who beleives that just because she's married to her job, the rest of us should be as well. Our head of production is a religious Nazi-esque robot hell bent on crushing any vestige of individuality we possess. Not that there's much left . . . His son in law is the goober who's up for molesting an 11 year old. This dickshit gets special treatment and the rest of us just get screwed. Busted machines abound and no money for us while the company president spanks it in europe every other week. Joy.

yeah so if you notice where it says now playing, i put nothing that is because the cd i brought apparently is not good enough to work in the pile of shit cd player i have here at work. so under normal circumstances i would be listening to stellastar, but as we all know NOTHING THAT EVER HAPPENS IN MY LIFE CAN BE UNDER NORMAL FUCKING CIRCUMSTANCES!! i am at work right now. how fun is that. i was about a nano second from calling in this morning, my stomach hurt all bad like and shit, i am not sure if it was the whole idea of getting up at 430 in the morning, an hour in which nobody should be subjected to getting up at, and coming to work or it could have been that i really did not want to get out of my warm comfortable bed who was not only occupied by me but by my super great super cute girlfriend as well, yup.....i think that was it. so i woke up shut off the alarm and was in the process of calling in, and then emilie yelled at me and talked pretty to me and convinced me that i really didn't want to get in trouble and loose YET ANOTHER FUCKING RAISE. i am not allowed to have any unexcused abscences for hte next two months, that is shitty, my stomach really does hurt i am not feeling well at all. i thought if i got up and moving then my problems would go away, s far that is not the case. i guess i could maybe use a half a day then just not calle in anymore, i think it is pretty shitty how getting sick, with it being something you can control and all, counts against you here. jesse called in today. of course he would, the boss is on vacation so he would not have to put up with her wrath, now what i don't understand is how he can call in more then all of the other 5 people in the department and how his production numbers are equal with mine if not a little lower, and how he can be such an asshole to our boss, arguing with her over overtime and just giving her a shit ton of un-needed stress and bullshit, and he still makes more the me, a lot more then me. but me bacause i am late, which might i add was not entirely my fault, can count against me so much that it prevents me from getting a raise for the last 2 fucking years. ah well, hopefully some day i will not have to put up with this shit anymore....yeah right. this company wants me to eat s leep and breathe them, i have no ineterest in doing that, i come here for one reason and one reason only, money. why the hell else have a job. bottom line. i am not here because i like it i an not here because i have nothing else better to do, this company thinks they are doing me a favor by keeping me here and paying me less then everyone else when i do the same amount of work if not more work then some, they are an equal opportunity employer, where one guy can do just as much and another guy and still get paid 2 dollars an hour less then him. i love the pay scale here. perhaps i am so pissed off about the pay here because i still have not gotten any money from brea who prmised it to me a week befre the fourth of july, and now because of one persons ignorance and lack of care for someone who at one point was a friend of hers I am slowly going under. THIS FUCKING MACHINE WILL NOT WORK AT ALL I HAVE HAD EVERY FUCKING JAM THAT I CAN AND I HAVE TRIED DAMN NEAR EVERYTHING I FUCKIING KNOW HOW TO DO AND IT IS STILL NOT WORKING...I HAVE BEEN HERE AN HOUR NOW FIGHTING WITH THIS MOTHERFUCKER THIS IS WHY I HATE FUCKINGN COMING IN AT 5 AM NOTHING FUCKING WORKS!!EVER WITHOUT FAIL THE MACHINES ARE ALWAYS FUCKING BROKEN THEN AT ABOUT 7 AM THEY FINALLY START TO WORK. DURING THE 2 HOURS I SPENT FIGHTING THE BITCH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN MORE SLEEP AND BY SLEEPING I COULD HAVE GOTEN JUST AS MUCH FUCKING PRODUCTION D0NE!!!!!!!FUCK THIS SHIT. sorry i think i have reached my breaking point. i mean think about it i am under paid and i have to basically be the company whore because they are threatening to "take disiplinary action if i don't comply to the company procedure" which i usually do "comply to the company procedure" but one person can only suck so much dick before it makes them want to kill. at this point the "diiplinary action" would be not giving me my fucking raise, like it is a big fucking deal this company is such a fucking tight wad as cmpany that instead of paying me the guy who does all the work they go and buy some stupid ass IGEN machine that cost 500,000 dollars to PUT COLORED INK ON A FUCKING PIECE OF PAER the less then a year old machines we hae back there before the igens were apparently not good enough.sorry for rambeling, but i think it is sad how i have to conform and suck the balls of the man just so i can get paid and extra 30 cents an hour when the head of production's son in law can call in and more then the other 5 peple in the department combined, keep his job while he has to go to court for child molestation, i fucking hate this shit. i am going to go or i am ging to have to kill some bitches. bye bye all.

back to the future soundtrack, 10:54 sunday -
so today is saturday, i am at work. i had no choice. my day off and i am forced to come in to work at 7 am still better then 5, i am not going to the concert anymore because i have to work at 5 am all week next week. so we didnt get our tickets because it would be no fun to go to a show and have to be home before 5 so i could go to work. and i f i wanted to sleep at all then i would have to be homre by about 1 and that would most likely not happen. i am kind of hungry. good news though i only have to stay untill noon. good thing cause this machine is running like shit and i think i might have to kill some bitches if it don't start working right. yay. i am going camping tonight, i think anyway. i saw a friend yesterday, it is always nice when someone screws you over and then they just come around and act like nothing happened. my frustration level was at about 500% the background of this page has drawn my attention and for some reason i can't stop looking, it is actually starting to hurt my eyes. anyway i should go now. oh and i bought xenosaga. if anyone gives a shit. yup. bye bye.

mikey,
i might be back sooner than i thought, im becoming quite frustrated down here. i think i have some sort of condition thatmakes my drummers try to kill me. first phil throwing that broken drumstick at my eye. zach just tried to choke me out. he was telling me what a loser i am and i told him to suck a fat d-ck. so he tried to shove his thumbs into my throat. oh well. anyways, theres this Stacey girl at home, and nothing but stress here. i hate ottawa, but sadly enough i miss it like it was my home or something. sorry to you and matt about leaving without saying goodbye, we were kinda in a hurry. im thinking about going back to ivcc. wow, i am a loser. at least ill be a loser who doesnt hate my life. i miss all of my friends. my real friends. not the ones who deserted me when i needed them, but the ones who are there for me as much as i am for them. mikey, i am at a crossroads in my life. to all youintangible catf_ckers, watch out for a new Family of Lightbulbs release in the near future. it will probably be much more scaled down than previous efforts, seeing as i'll probably be recording most of the tracks by MYSELF. untill i find musicians who can live up to the same, if not correct, ideals as i do, i might be going it on my own, but nothing is for certain. i might just be pissed off and ranting. oh, and mikey, i might need you to play drums at my party, and possibly on the new album. you are all invited on the 29th. bring nuggets. bring jack daniel's. just don't bring me down. ive got enough of that right now. farewell and goodluck to all.

i saw the mr. moore movie with cory and i agree with him 100% especially about the edititing thing, very persuasive. something i think mr. moore is good at is showing about 3/4 or maybe even half of the story. but when i watch a moore movie i don't feel as though his opinion, lets face it that really is all they are are facts backing up his opinion of stuff, is being forced on me. i watch one of his movies and i get what he is saying but like every arguement there is som e confliction in ideas. anyway on a different subject. the flaming lips dvd is fucking awesome. listening to the album in 5.1 surround sound adds a whole new perspective to it.and the videos are great......but since they have been my absolute favorite band for the last....oh i don't know......7 years maybe 8 now, i am rather bias. on another not so related note, on the 21st i am giong to go see slipknot and slayer. heh...kind of bit of a jump in taste huh. personally i think the slayer part of the show is going to kick the shit out of slipknot.....but we will see. anyway yeah. so things are going good right now for me. yay. i got a hold of someone. i feel better now. girlfriend stuff going very well. yeah. i go now. bye bye. i love tracy.

Cory, you have made my day. I know this is why I love all of you guys, you're open-minded, and by open-minded, you actually see every side to every story. I think the biggest problem with our nation is that we can't find a happy medium to save our lives. I've been at the bar numerous times over the past year and had to endure political debates. What bothered me most was that everyone was either VERY republican or VERY democrat. Doesn't everyone realize that George Washington told us when he left office that we should not form political parties? Like we listen. AND, to top it all off, all the people that are in the government, or at least at a position with any power are blue-bloods, old money. They aren't necessarily the smartest or the best, but they've got the money to fund a campaign. I even saw a debate once in which they asked a democrat what they would do to rectify all the problems that have occurred during the bush administration. He said that he would do "everything different" and then went into a tirade about how bad bush is. He never once actually answered the question...only bashed bush. I'm rooting for Perot to come back, or have McCain run in four years, that would be nice...catch ya and thanks for stimulating my brain past the pies I had to sell today.

just saw the new michael moore movie, and i've got pretty mixed feelings about it. i'll probably have to do some more thinking about it and talking about it until my head is completely clear. i agree with most people in that it brought MUCH deserved attention to some things that mass media have neglected to report, and it's exciting to hear how well the movie is doing. it seems to be very culturally important documentary. but, i disagreed with some of the cheap shots he made at bush. bush might deserve more criticism than he gets, but jokes about his speaking problems have certainly lost alot of their humor after hearing 4 years of the same jokes and humorous editing on various tv programs. i don't think they did any good, other than attracting more people to watch the movie and making them aware of more important problems. i suppose its the same tactic that disney movies use; "throw cheap tired jokes in there to attract the average joe". perhaps, i'm not sure. at times the movie was brutally honest, and at others it wasn't showing the whole picture at all. so, i guess i'm left with conflicting thoughts on the whole thing. i suggest every american watch this movie. but more liberal minded people who already hate bush should watch it with a sharp eye (careful editing can be VERY persuasive and misleading). more conservative minded people who would dismiss the movie as ridiculous trash should watch it with an open mind and an open heart. there is enough truth in the documentary to reach anyone honest with themselves enough to realize that america isn't always the good guy we're made out to be. thats my two cents anyhow.

So here goes...who here wonders how Shawn has time to complain about being to work early? I do, because when he types in the time of his submission, he should technically be at work. But how is he WORKING when he's signing his own guestbook. I'm so confused. When I'm at work, I'm happy to get a cigarette let alone get online...bah, go figure. Ok, I obviously have no life and I am sick of being at my lab even though I've only been here for half an hour. Please call me and make me feel special...someone, anyone.

so day two on the whole going to work at 4 am thing, today i was 3 minutes late, now to any of us that means nothing, but to my boss it means a whole lot of shit i can get yelled at for. hopefully that will not happen, i am not in the mood. so i tried the whole going to bed early thing last night right, well i finally got to sleep at about 230 as in like less then 2 hours ago. i guess i did it to myself though. but never the less i am now even more sleep deprived and i am going to be annoyed and pissed off at the world all day today, not so much because i am tired and grumpy but just because i feel like being an asshole. i feel like i am fucking hung over...again. i had to leave in a bit of a rush so i forgot my debit card and such things so i have no money on me. crap-o. looks like i will be drinking my own pee all day. my hands hurt i am going now.

i am at work, my boss approached me yesterday afternoon and informed me taht we were coming in at 4 am thursday and friday, so i tried to go to bed at a decent ohur last night, yeah i got to bed about 2. not on purpose i tried my ass off to go to bed but i just couldn't, perhaps the 11 people in my living room when i got back from band practice last night had something to do with it, just a side note..i only knew like half of them. then kassie bekha and jenny-lee came over but didnt' come inside so i went outside and made them take me to the gas station, and then they bought me a cheeseburger. then we sat in the yard and i ate them and i got my cds back from jenny. then i went upstairs and tried to go to bed. and for some reason it looked like al was upset but i was too tired to ask and get the story. and i let some girl borrow donnie darko, i think her name was uh.....madeline......i forget, i was dead tired anyway. right so i bought the new slipknot cd for my girlfriend and of course she had me listen to it, but me being a semi closet fan of theirs listened to it willingly, i hated the album, but now as i listen to it a bit more i realize that it is actually, pretty damn good. i have indeed come to the conclusion that is is definatly not stinky. so i might be meeting this guy who keeps on hitting on my girlfriend while she is at work, i told her to invite him over, she keeps saying things for no reason like "yeah, so i was at MY BOYFRIENDS'S HOUSE LAST NIGHT" and it is he just don't get the blantently obvious hint or he just don't care, to me it sounds like he don't care, so we will just have to see, what happens. no fighting of course perhaps just some weird out stuff, you know give him a bad impression. heh. i am such a bastard. i am starting to feel hung over. that is no good. i have not had anything to drink such as booze since saturday. i didn't drink enough to get drunk. my sister is gone she left to go into the national gaurd, she will be back in a think 2 months. curses. i like trampolines. after this song i am goin to switch from volume 3 over to iowa. last night after practice3 we went to the skate park and slid down the ramps like the were sliding boards. it was fun. and safe, unlike trying to be a skater punk and grinding your face into the half pipe. much safer. i bet my boss hates me, and i bet she really hates slipknot, oh well. at 4 am i need something to keep me awake. i should get going now i might write more tomorrow who knows.

Shawn's rants make head hurt but must read for being fun. Can't wait to bear witness to Baconhead someday. What day is Rebekah's Tape and Deuce and a Half playing a show together? Dustin rattled off a ton of days Deuce is playing shows but I took none of it in mentally. All I know is that we are playing a show with you this month. My head really hurts from Shawn's rant but it is fun to read. Fun pain. Hurting jubilee dance party majigger.

well looks like the lincoln show is for sure after debating playing it. hopefully shawn, you could write directions on here when you get em. i guess that would be for tracy as she's the only one that will come. but i'll probably be with her, (right tracy?), so if you just gave em to me that would be cool too. all i know is that its in lincoln (wherever that is), and that its a birthday party for someone and 3 other bands are playing and it starts at 5, although we won't be able to make it that early. and it costs 2 dollars, be we can cover that tracy :) i think dave chappelle should be the president. he's got a better sense of humor than that ralph nader character.

they told me no more 5 am days.....well tuesday at 300 30 minutes before i was to go home for the day they told me to come in at 5 i said no they replied "so you are coming in at 5 then right" and i had to say yes. it was like those not mandatory but still mandatory things. dso i came in it is me and one other person, so apparently the invite was only extended to a few of us, i feel so fucking special, now the machine will not run and me being here once again is pointless. but then again the 15 bucks an hour is pretty decent. argh. i hate being awake at 4 am. yesterday i didn't have to be here until 7 and you really would not think that two hours would make much of a difference. i am here to tell you it sure does. it was like a whole nother world. i wooke up before my alarm and i was fully rested. i loved it, you know working normal people hours. not to mention if this job runs correctly which it does not, but providing it does run good it runs about 2/3 slower then what i normally run, so really i guess what i am trying to say is that i would much rather smash my own cock underneath a 500 ton weight then be here right now. but then again i would probly miss, you can't do too much with a half of a toothpick and a few mustard seeds, well one of them is a mustard seed, the other one is a real timy motherfucker. i think today shawn is going to be a grumpy person. at least for a little while. perhaps only to certain people. like my bosses secretery. i am mean to him all the time. he is actually my lead person, not her secretery. but sometimes i think i know more about what is going on then he does. andi can never ereally find him when i need him. i better be nice, at least until this stupid probational period thing i am on expires, which should be this month sometime. i am sure everyone who knows me knows how i have a habbit of making situations turn to the worst, well i was in minonk this last weekend and this like 11 year old kid was threatening me, how dumb is this, now i had no intentions of smacking him......at first, then he like all pushed his chest up on me and shit, and he kept throwing these insults at me, and i mean come on, i am an asshole, did this kid think i had not already heard the things he was calling me, what a dumb ass, so he was all like insulting me and shit, so i just started to play along, so i started making stupid comments to him, i don't know somwhere along the lines of "well my dad can beat up your dad" you those types of things. and it was so funny to just watch this kid use his best insults against me and i just shot them down like it was nothing, and then i grew weary of this game and he kept going, so what i did was i left, after i got him all pissed off at me, however in the process he got me pissed off at him with his sheer annoyance, so i left and came back like an hour later and he walks up to me and said "well, the jack ass returns" and since i had recieved some rather troubling news while i was gone i was not exactly in the mood for his annoyance especially since the night before a few undesired situations occured so i was already in a not good mood, that piled up with the stuff i was informed of when i left and the annoying comments of a fucking smart ass 11 year old were not making me a happy camper, to say the least. so i just looked over at him and said "kid i am getting really tired of your shit, so unless you want me to smack to shit out of you, you will just go away and leave me the fuck alone." i thought thatwas pretty blunt. i have to find out where that kid goes to school i bet one of his friends will beat the hell out of him for a few bucks. funny because we were at a cookout and this kids parents were not there, the only thing we could think of is that he was a fat little kid from next door that smelled food. i am going to hell. i found my sun glasses. yay. actaully i think when brea and emilie cleaned up our apartment a little bit they found them. why did they clean.....who knows but it was great of them. though they only did a little bit i expected them to do none. so this saturday we are playing a show in lincoln. we have never played there, we are playing a birthday party. weird, it is for a girl we have never met, well i talked to her on the phone once, i told her i was a skank, andi had not showered in like 4 days, it was all true baby, yay-ah, sol somehow we ended up playing this show. i am kind of excited, and also we might get migrated twords springfield. interesting. something about a band called the timmys. eh....who knows. it might or might not happen it is still up in the air. so ia have been doing a bit of shameless self promotion, i have given out a few demos to people who are most definatly impressed with us, that makes me happy. this is a question for all HAS ANYONE SEEN THE MOVIE BACON HEAD BESIDES ME DAVE AND MIKE? it is great. super great. it is a troma film, i know you hate troma but i love troma and bacon head is one of the rare greats in their collection(think cannibal the musical) it is done in balck and white by a band called the angry hippos. it has it all, toast police, disgruttled employees, a reason AND A PURPOSE and a super great song about Quinlan, the detailing tubbist.i think nate zack should try to hunt it down. we got lucky and found it in a video store in streator, this was the best thing streator has ever had to offer us, streator sucks ass, they ahve nija stars there. you go into a store and come out and BAM!! your car tires are flat with ninja stars stuck in them, or that is what my friend abbie says. i may have spelt her name wrong but i have not forgotten her, she is great. i got humped yesterday, it was weird, he was all like up on me and shit and i was standing in the living room, and he walks up behind me and gets going, i felt a bit.....vialated, I'M NOT GAY!!! cmon tracy vouch for me i had nothing to do with the humping, tell them all it was pre-arranged, i tell you it is a conspiracy against me. tracy i would cut off my arm for you. maybe even both of them, if like you needed an arm transplant or something like that. right so i bet this is really really long, and boring and annoying, so i should just go now. see what bordom does a guy, in this case specifically me. tracy one day you and i are going to sit down and watch manica nurses find ecstacy and teenage catgirls in heat. don't worry, they are not pron i promise you that. bye bye.

nose running must pull out nasal passages, kill nasal passages. stupid allergies. i hate being allergic to outside and i work in a place filled with paper dust so i hate being inside at this point i just loose all the damn time.....things are gradually getting better though, better in some areas more some areas less. i am oce again bored and a bit tired but not so bad i got about 6 hours of sleep, i think when i go home today i am going to try to catch up for the last few days, i think it is starting to take a toll on me. funny how overwhelming bordom can make this here guestbook turn into a sort of online journal. what is the point of those things anyway? a journal or a diary was mostly for your eyes only right? something to write down your thoughts without being judged or anything like that, to help you sort out your shit but without help. i bought a new movie yesterday. it is great........by great i mean less than great. it is called MANIAC NURSES FIND ECSTACY. ah yes, let me tell you.......i didn't see any real nurses, though it was kind of cool watching hot girls from the 80's perform sugery in their underpants using a chainsaw......then again maybe that is just me.regaurdless, i introduced my friend Brea to troma movies last night with this movie, for some reason i don't think she was as impressesed as i was. ijust tried to eat someting out of the vending machine, i hate vending machine food. i had to throw it away because it started to taste like shit and hurt my tummy. yes, i just said tummy. now i am drinking cranberry grape juice DRINK YOUR CRANBERRY JUICE BOY! IT KEEPS YOU REGULAR!! i imagine Emilie would appreciate maniac nurses find ecstacy, she is kind of a super freaky ultra megazord weirdo. and really i think it is kind of hard for ANYONE to like this movie. it is just bad, it is pretty bad even for the bad standards, which as we all know, i know lots about, for the sake of shit, i own a movie called BAD TASTE and i am saying this is bad.....you better believe me. i leave you all now.

machine is broken. imagine that. all i need is one allen wrench, thats it, and all my problems would be solved, but the tech took our tools, perhaps to make him have a more important role in my daily rutine? who knows who cares all i know is that my boss is gonna be pissed that i could have fixed my machine in about 3 minutes but it has now taken me ......over 30 because i am waiting for an allen wrench. apparently there is no tech support at 5 am they don't get here until about i think 7. so really my overtime at this point is useless for the company, however great for me. i can sit here for 15$ an hour and not do anything but wait on an allen wrench. this is beyond my control, why they took the allen wrench in the first place is beyond me, it is not like they don't have a whole tool box full or anything. sorry for the annoying ass lovin, but when shawn has to get up at 4 am to go to work and he gets there after what i count as ...lets see......approximatly 135 minutes of sleep because he sat in his bed for 3 hours making repeated failed attempts at getting any form of rest what so ever,and EVERYTHING is broken or set up wrong so i have to reset the job because the person who initually did it didn't do it good enough, it is a bit frustrating. then when he has to wait over 45 for an allen wrench.....yeah. okay so sorry, my brain is scattered and i want to go home and take a nap and thought these little rants seem a bit pointless to you all but in all actuallity it helps me out a lot. it helps me calm down before the rest of the people get here which in turn prevents me from being in a bad mood and putting up with lots of noise and people. if everyone who reads these things were here right now i would lick all of you.........you can pick the spot.........I'M NOT GAY.............

sorry about yesterday your mind does weird things when it is half awake and you are bored. the sad thing is that if i had not come here and typed it i would have just yelled all the stuff at my self. i hung out with bekah redshaw and owen last night. it was nice, bekah, always a pleasure, you're great. we went and we saw TROY. it was good i thought. a nice change from what i have been watching most of these days, you know, no intellegence what so ever. but it ended up that my roomate and his friends were playing system link halo.......still. i ended up staying awake until about 1230....again, with the promise that i would get to eat some food. i did get to eat, it was not that satifying but might i add it was free, that in itself had a certian sense of satisfction to it. one again my ribs are fucking awful today, i am tired as to be expected, my joints all hurt, today is going to drag, what can i do to make it not drag? eh who konws i just hope it goes faster then yesterday. bye bye everyone

hello i have not been on recently because our internet is fucked up. so i have the chance now while i am here at work at fucking 5 am..........this sucks, especially when shawn has a nasty habbit of not getting to bed anytime before midnight. no it is mandatory that i work at 5 am for at least the next 3 weeks. also i will be working saturdays at 5 am till 1pm. yeah, i could do that or work 12 hour days 5 days a week. so it is pretty safe to say that i am not really ever in a good mood these last few days.it is pretty shitty that i have to get up early and go to work so i can print 10,000 more pieces of junk mail. they tell us to have some sort of personal satisfaction, but in all honesty how can i feel good about myself when i go home...."ahhh....i feel good today i printed 30,000 pieces of product, TO BAD 95% OF IT IS GOING TO BE THROWN AWAY BEFORE IT EVBEN GETS OPENED!! i can't wait for the next 9 and a half hours to go by so i can take a nap. i am lazy. i guess you could say i am sort of in a slump right now. playing a show would normally help but since i have to work at 5 am both day of the shows this weekend i am notreally sure how mcuh it is going to help, if it does at all. i am with mike about what he said below about feeling sort of detached. i guess the lack of social interaction with oh i don't know......ANYONE could be part of it. mmmmm and they give us food. from krispie kreme. one just opened in bloomington. so i am getting pretty burnt out on it cause they bring us in food every morning for like the last 3 days. i am not big on sweet stuff. it kinda hurts my stomach but since it is free "food" i will eat it anyway. though if they really wanted to show me they care about me all they would have to do is give me a raise, have not had one of those in a while, then they would never have to give me food because i would be able to buy my own.and on top of all that my ribs are still fucking broken, since easter, the pain is random day by day but the last few days have been rather bad. they gave me pain meds, and as we all witnessed at spectacle they make me loopy as hell. i took some at work once and holy shit on the ride home i found myself staring at the trees around me more then the road, i then concluded that i should not drive while under the influence of narcotics. so i guess that one of the higher ups heard sombody curse, and we got an e mail......(yeah.....did you get that e mail?....i will get you another copy of that e mail.) saying if we use curse words then "disiplinary action" will be taken, and they said i could even get fired for it. wow, if i get fired for swearing that is pretty shitty, work someplace for 4 years and get fired not because you are a bad employee(which i am not) but because you said fuck in front of someone who got offended by it that hardly seems fair, if i could fire all the people who offended me with their stupidity(a reason for someone to actually be fired) then this company would loose at least half of its employees, but i guess int het business world it is not what you know it is who you know and who likes you, it took me a year and a half to get back to the position i had and got fired from because they forced me to go to 3rd shift and then decided they didn't want a 3rd shift anymore. how shitty is that? so they put me at an entry level position and took a dollar an hour away from me, i ahve not got all of that back but then again i have been out of action for a year and a half..........everywhere from now on i think i should just walk backwards with no pants on and carry around a bottle of ass lube, because no matter how many times it happens it still chafes. something i think is kind of funny is that i can get fired for swearing, but i work not 20 feet away from someone who is being accused of not one but 2 class x felons (they tell us not to talk about it because he didn't do it or it is to personal or something, it was in the news paper after all so it is not like none of us know about it, so i don't kow if he did it or not and i hope he didn't but the fact of the matter is if i were accused of sticking my finger in the vagina of an eleven year old i would be fired) but once again i reiterate.....i can be fired for saying the word fuck. that sucks i say something of the form of fuck at least 70-80 times a day, most of it pertaining to work or co-workers. now don't take what i said above as an insult cause i really do hope the guy didn't do it, he is a nice guy and i think he is pretty okay, however i was just to to show how weird things here are. and it was not meant to be slander of anything like that, i just figured it didn't matter if i said it or not BECAUSE ANYONE WHO READS THE PANTAGRAPH KNOWS SO REALLY WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL IF I SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT OR NOT TO MY FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF WORK. sorry. anyway i guess these are just common gripes like everyone has about their job, so i will just stop. but if it means anything i feel a lot better, i have to go put up my cd player now i can get in trouble for listeningto music, god forbid that about 3 years ago. bye bye e everyone.

Just a note for Mike, and anyone else that might be interested...
I was informed by Nate Halm, cousin of Luke Andreoni, that some weekend in June there is someone who has the Spring Valley Park all day from 11am until it closes and there will be bands playing. There's no alcohol allowed but there's rumored to be a beer garden nearby for those interested in such things. I gave Nate Mike's phone number with the intent for it to be passed on to the organizer of this event in order to create a line of communication in order to try to get RT to play at this thing. Now then...Bloppy has done his job...and will now return to his Lifetime original movie about a teenage rape victim who goes around in a mask and cape murdering rapists with a serrated dildo. This should be good, it's starring Susan Sarandon and Alan Thicke.

Ok, you win, 2:05 a.m. today -
ok, shows that i know, there is the 21st, at the depot 7pm. 6 dollars. we have tickets for 5...but i didn't get them fast enough, so from what i can figure is that if you wana save a dollar, meet me at the show and i'll have the tickets there. then the show in roanoke on the 22nd of may at the legion, i'm not sure how much it is to get in..this show is with glyster, sweetalysum, and one other, i'll post the name later because i can't ever remember it. Then there is the show on june 5th at Ron's iron wheel. from what i gathered, we're the only band playing this night. everyone that's 21 should come and buy drinks so that we can play there again... then maybe the show on the 12th. it all depends, the way it's looking now, i'll be back from florida at about 11 am...so...but ..n e wayz...theres ya go guys and gals.

I miss all of you again. I've gone through the hell of two finals, and I'm stuck at home on a Saturday night. I wish I could rock out to some musica right now. Shame, darn shame. You guys have to play the show on June 12th cuz I already requested it off, and I volunteered to watch Trenten that day. With gas going sky high I've been having to pick certain shows I can go to, so don't bail on me here. Oh, and if anyone's interested in seeing Local H at the Canopy, let me know and I'll get tickets ($10)...it's on June 25th. Ricky S. is already coming down and I think it would be fun to have everyone crash at my place again. Gimme a ring!

in case you didn't know, owen, bloppy hasn't been doing his job AT ALL for the past several months. he's been lying around doing nothing and watching the lifetime network most of the time. whenever i talk to him he is always in a bad mood and gets pissed at me for asking if he's set us up any more shows, or done anything relating to HIS JOB. i stopped bothering him about a month ago, so i don't know what he's been doing. we always have to drag his ass to shows. he's just not very excited anymore.
owee, you should put all the dates you know of for shows up on here so JJ can put them in the show information crap. or if you've got his email just email them to him. you're the one who's been linking us up these upcoming shows...i feel sort of out of touch. with everything. every single aspect of everything in my existence.

Hey guys, sorry I didn't put something up sooner, but it has been a crazy weekend. The spectacle was one of the best shows ever, it was just a shame that the location made it way too easy for everyone to be bums. Props to everyone that danced around like a fool! Also, I thought it important to tell everyone my new motto that I learned from a friend...you must sell the sizzle! It made me laugh. Ok, other than that, I just have one more request...can I feed you like a momma bird? It would be a dream come true.

spectacle = fun. stressful but fun. good old jodie, always appreciating things. i think for the remainder of this semester of school i should be not quite so busy and stretched not quite so thin. my brainheart is fizzling sort of like a near dead fly on a scum ridden windowsill.
show on saturday was a nice fun also. it was very nice of lindsay welbers to invite us. we hadn't been invited to play anywhere for a long while. been setting up our own shows. gets stressful setting up your own shows all the time. much more to do than when you're just going somewhere, playing, then leaving. mike has to be the brain too much. mike's brain is tired. so so tired.
too many distractions. not enough sunlight. hey, when is it going to stay warm?? can anyone answer that crapgun??

hey
so i went to the doctor today cause my ribs really really hurt at work. and i now have a 5 pund weight limit until the 26th......the bass weighs more then five pounds right?.....i hope not...well i will pretend it weighs a bit less then that on friday. yeah i think the show on the 24th has moved to a different date but i forget what it is. i am now listening to a techno remix of i run by flock of seagulls.....the sad part is that i am not joking.i am kinda hungry. all we have to eat is old pizza and french fries that i have to cook but i can't cause we have nothing to cook them in or on. i got these pills idon't know what they are. all i know is they are pain relievers of some sort and the lady told me to take them before i go to sleep at first so i can figure out how they effect my body. man hope it don't shrink my junk....then it would be damn near gone.well i have the perscription for these pills apparently my health plan don't work with any walgreens and the other places are all the way across fucking town and i don't know what time they close. argh. so the lady told me i was discharged right and i just left....was i supposed to co-pay or anything....? oh well they took my address like 100 times so they will just mail it to me right? i am sure they will. people are relentless with money collection. yeah so i suck and i have never gone to the hospital alone unless i was visiting someone. i never go to the doctor EVER but when it felt like my ribs broke and stuck into my lugs i felt that it was time to finally break down and do something that was so easy to do and it would make me not hurt. for those of you who don't know what i am talking about i am reffering to the injury i attained while pretending to be a skateboarder. yeah so i am gonna go now good night to all and all that happy horse shit. bye bye

jj, your photos are great. especially the one with the pretty girl. but thats a biased opinion. so i wanted to spread word about a show we're (probably? definitely?) playing on sat. the 24th, in roanoke (i think?). thats all i know. owen needs to keep us more informed. if you read this owee, please leave a complete message in the 'concise show info' guestbook category, as my speculated info is certainly not concise.

Greetings and salutations to all! I'm so stoked about the show on the 23rd that I believe I will wet myself. More than anything, I'm signing this to invite everyone to Urbana on the 24th. Some rad guys on the floor above us thought it would be a splendiferous idea to have an apartment complex party. Seeing as how our building is in a big square, I fully agreed, and I want my friends to come dammit! So yeah, if you're not too pooped after the show on Friday, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come visit me the following Saturday. I love you guys...that is all for now.

you know, my dad once told me, that the best song in the world is the song that's never written (essentailly meaning it was forgotten by the person who wrote it) therfore, you should remember all of your song, and play them at open mic, for the simple fact that your song could be the best in the world...
