Talking Cars With the MC5
Funny story...
Dennis Thompson: After we signed [with Atlantic records - after being dropped from Elektra], it came down to a thousand bucks apiece, woopie doo. So we all got our parents to cosign for cars.
Wayne Kramer got an XKE Jaguar, Mike Davis got a Buick Riviera, Fred Smith got a '66 Fastback Corvette with a 327, and Rob Tyner got a station wagon, ha ha ha.
I got the best one out of the group - I got a '67 Corvette, six taillights, 427, 390 horse, purple hard top. That car was a beast. You're talking 400 horsepower. I got 36 points off my license in a matter of about 8 months. I lost my license 3 or 4 times, and was thrown in jail for driving on a suspended license.
Michael and I drove that car down to Florida and it was the fastest trip to Florida I ever made in a car - we were averaging 120 mph. It was fun. What did cars have to do with people getting mad at us?
Wayne Kramer: We were purged from the White Panther party [not a white power/supremacist group - they basically wanted what the Black Panthers wanted, plus their own 10 point program] for counterrevolutionary ideals, because we bought sports cars that our parents signed for. I got a Jaguar XKE. Yeah, man, it was about the coolest thing I've ever had from playing rock & roll. I still have dreams about that car. Oh, it was sweet. Fred Smith bought a used Corvette. Dennis bought a Corvette Stingray - a big 427 muscle car. Michael Davis bought a Riviera.
And Rob Tyner got the band station wagon.
We were awful. Not long after Rob got the station wagon, he came out of the supermarket with his arms loaded down with groceries, and the car was gone. Nobody had made any of the payments on it, so they had repossessed it.
Today wasn't such a good day. Eh. sable
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
10/22/00
Some asshole has been ringing my doorbell and then running. Yeah, you probably think it's really funny - ha ha ha, someone is playing ding-dong-ditch with me, ha ha ha - but you won't be laughing when some shithead does it to you for a week+.
I'm sick of this shit. So what do I do? I call the police, the non-emergency line, and make a complaint. They send someone over, and I talk to him. Which is nice, even though they can't do anything until I know who's doing it (and I have my ideas - Eddie my disgusting ex-boyfriend who I was dumb enough to go out with *shudder* or this girl and some of her friends who live kiddy-corner from this elementary school up the road). This means I'll have to get some sort of surveilance.
That's pretty fucking sad that someone actually has to get surveilance because some immature shit(s) can't just leave someone alone. Stupid is as stupid does.
I watched Forrest Gump last night. sable
Calling From the Fun House...
10/20/00
I made an early change. I was going to wait, but I got kinda bored with the old layout. It was a bit plain - but don't get me wrong, I still love the MC5. It just needed a change, and I've been wanting to do a Stooges layout for one long-ass time.
I know the link color and the background link color really don't go with the layout. But any link color/background link color that did go with the layout didn't show up well. I wanted something that would show up, speaking on terms of links, you know? So that's why the link color/background link color don't go well with the actual background.
This layout should last throughout November as well. But who knows? sable
It's a Town Full of Losers (and I'm Pulling Out of Here to Win)
10/20/00
I ended up staying home sick today. I was throwing-up a lot last night. I called my mom and told her about it, and she said to "Take some Tylenol and relax", and that if it continued throughout the night, and if I still didn't feel better in the morning when she called [to wake me up], then she'd call me in.
I was throwing-up throughout the night, and I still don't feel very well. So I ended up staying home. Of course, it's extremely nice outside, but that doesn't matter either way, cause I'm not feeling well.
Grandma left for Utah this morning at 7 am. She called me and woke me from me deep sleep. But I wanted to say good-bye anyway, so it didn't bother me. She asked me if I wanted her to stay. I did kind of want her to stay, but I know she needs to go back there [to Las Vegas]. Also, my Uncle Chris flew in from Utah just to help her pull it back to Vegas (though she will be staying with Uncle Chris in Utah until November 4th). So, it would be unfair to her and him to say that I wanted her to stay. I'm going to miss her like crazy, though. I miss her already. It's strange looking out the kitchen window and not seeing her 5th wheel there. But she had to bring Grandpa's soul back to Vegas. And the Wisconsin winter would be too hard on her. (Though it is shockingly warm out right now. It CAN get very cold.)
That's all I want to say, really. But I'll get all weepy if I keep talking about it. And I have to write my brother. sable
Thunder Road
10/19/00
My Grandma is going to be leaving for Utah tomorrow morning. And then, she'll leave Utah on November 4th for Las Vegas. I'm going to miss her so much. I've gotten so used to her being around. I'm going to miss our Sunday night dinners. We always went out to eat on Sunday - it was our tradition. It was a way for us to sit down and talk. I'm also going to miss watching Golden Girls with her. She'd usually be home by 10 pm in time to watch the Golden Girls with me.
Thunder Road
The screen door slams
Mary's dress waves
Like a vision she dances across the porch
As the radio plays
Roy Orbison singing for the lonely
Hey, that's me and I want you only
Don't turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run back inside
Darling, you know just what I'm here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
That maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey, you're all right
Oh, and that's all right with me
You can hide 'neath your covers
And study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
Throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now I'm no hero
That's understood
All the redemption I can offer, girl
Is beneath this dirty hood
With a chance to make it good somehow
Hey, what else can we do now
Except roll down the window
And let the wind blow back your hair
Well, the night's busting open
These two lanes will take us anywhere
We got one last chance to make it real
To trade in these wings on some wheels
Climb in back
Heaven's waiting on down the tracks
Oh, oh come take my hand
Riding out tonight to case the promise land
Oh, oh Thunder Road, oh Thunder Road
Oh Thunder Road
Lying out there like a killer in the sun
Hey, I know it's late, we can make it if we run
Oh Thunder Road, sit tight, take hold
Thunder Road
Well, I got this guitar
And I learned how to make it talk
And my car's out back
If you're ready to take that long walk
From your front porch to my front seat
The door's open, but the ride ain't free
And I know you're lonely
For words that I ain't spoken
But tonight we'll be free
All the promises will be broken
There were ghosts in the eyes
Of all the boys you sent away
They haunt this dusty beach road
In the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets
They scream your name at night in the street
Your graduation gown lies in rags at their feet
And in the lonely cool before dawn
You hear their engines roaring on
But when you get to the porch, they're gone
On the wind, so Mary climb in
It's a town full of losers
And I'm pulling out of here to win
-Bruce Springsteen
I like that song. sable
Life is the Crummiest Book I Ever Read
10/17/00
We had scheduling today. I got all the classes I needed. Unfortunately, I don't think any are going to be much fun. *sigh* Math, Health, Consumer Ed... I need them to graduate, though. About the only good one I'm taking is Forensics 2. Yep. sable
I Took a Record of Pretty Music (The Weekend Re-cap)...
10/15/00
This was one fun weekend, let me tell you!
Friday
I picked Sue up after school, and went to Milwaukee. We went to Southridge mall and window shopped - or as we call it "fondled merchandise". The we rode around for a while to kill time, before the Bad Religion concert, which was at The Rave.
The concert was great! One of the opening bands, Kid With Manhead, was funny - their lead singer did headstands, and they did a great cover of The Eagles' "Hotel California". The second opening band, The Promise Ring, was good, but not as good as Kid With Manhead. The Promise Ring's lead singer did funny dances, so that was a highlight. The Bad Religion took the stage, and it was just euphoria!! Greg [Graffin - the lead singer] gave props to Racine - the town he's from, and the town I was born in. It was a great concert. I got home at 1 in the morning.
Saturday
On Saturday I went to Fright Fest/Six Flags with Sue and her mom and dad (both of whom are really cool, by the way). We had a great time. We went on the bumper cars, the Eagle (which we waited an hour to get on), the Wizzer, and the Shockwave. We also had that "future ice cream" which was really good, some cookies, cheese fries, and some soda. (The cheese fries at Six Flags are insanely delicious!) I caught a bead necklace during the end of the night parade - I'm very happy about that. (And Sue is really happy that I caught them, cause they were close to hitting her in the face.) In the parking lot, someone abandoned a giant, stuffed pig. Someone tried to jam it in the car, but they couldn't fit it in. Figuring we should give it a shot, we drove closer to the stuffed pig, I hopped out of the car and ran for it. I grabbed it, and brought it back to the car - leaving a trail of stuffing along the way. I tried and tried and tried to stuff the pig into the car, but it just wouldn't fit. Soon Sue's dad was out of the car helping me stuff it into the car, but it wouldn't fit. So we had to give up. But at least we gave it a shot and had a good laugh about it. :)
Today (Sunday)
I just bummed around the house today. I went to O'Ryans rented the movie Casino, and bought the VHS of Fight Club - which I am absolutely thrilled about!
That's basically all. But this was one helluva great weekend! sable
4 days until Bad Religion!
I'm so Tired, I Can't Sleep...
10/9/00
Well, I had some trouble getting to sleep last night. I hate when that happens. I went to bed at 11 pm, but I couldn't actually get to sleep until 1 am. That sucked. I had quite a bit of trouble getting up.
Grandma had to drive me to school today. My dad came to pick me up for a doctor's appointment we had in Milwaukee that was at 2:15. I didn't want to leave my car in the school parking lot.
Not much happened today. Here's a conversation I had today with my cool friend from the Hole.com message board, Tainted Glitter...
citizenwayne62: Hey Tainted. :-) It's sable
prity0ntheinside: hey sable how are you? =)
citizenwayne62: Good! How are you?
citizenwayne62: How do you change fonts?
citizenwayne62: I'm sick of ugly Times New Roman, man.
prity0ntheinside: I'm alright, I just got blood taken so i'm way weak, lol ... oh okay ill tell you
citizenwayne62: Ouch, I have trouble giving blood. I hope you gain your strength back! *sends strength to Bladder Buddy*
prity0ntheinside: okay on your buddy list click My AIM, then go to edit options, then to edit prefrences
prity0ntheinside: then the General folder.. and change yer font there
citizenwayne62: Ok, I'm going to go do that. BRB
prity0ntheinside: hehe thank you for the strength btw... okay
citizenwayne62: Can
citizenwayne62: I was just trying it out. Didn't work. Let me try again.
prity0ntheinside: hmm okay
citizenwayne62: Okeedo.
citizenwayne62: Dammit.
citizenwayne62: Sorry, I have to try again.
prity0ntheinside: are you sure you're changing the font in the "general" section not the "Buddy" section?
citizenwayne62: I could swear it's the general. I better try again.
prity0ntheinside: did you click apply? *scratches head*
citizenwayne62: No... I clicked ok, but I bet apply would work, huh? I'm an idiot...
citizenwayne62: Do
citizenwayne62: Okeedo, I did it!
citizenwayne62: I think...
prity0ntheinside: eek.
citizenwayne62: Did?
citizenwayne62: I mean, did I?
prity0ntheinside: it doesn't look like it changed
citizenwayne62: I'll go for a more obvious one...
citizenwayne62: Do I have to press ok, after I press apply?
prity0ntheinside: yeah
citizenwayne62: Hello?
prity0ntheinside: well i dunno, but try
citizenwayne62: DAMMIT IT DOESN'T LIKE MEEEEE!!!!
prity0ntheinside: lol
citizenwayne62: ARRG.
prity0ntheinside: umm lets see
citizenwayne62: I hate hate fucking Times New Roman, too. Curse the motherfucker who made it to hell!!!
citizenwayne62: We should pee on that man's carpet, I tell you!!
prity0ntheinside: right click in the window you type in
prity0ntheinside: LOL
citizenwayne62: Hello?
prity0ntheinside: there ya go
citizenwayne62: Ok, it's changed now...
prity0ntheinside: *claps and throws a party*
citizenwayne62: *does lurid happy dance*
citizenwayne62: Thank-you for helping me and listen to my whining. :-)
prity0ntheinside: teehee
citizenwayne62: I'm gonna change the text color now!!
citizenwayne62: How's this?
citizenwayne62: I think this color pink is pretty. :-D
prity0ntheinside: its quite alright. i dont know if that will stay, it might go back to that ugly font when you close this window..
prity0ntheinside: ooo i like that pink
citizenwayne62: Thank-you. :-) I guess I'll have to change it every time, then. *sigh* Oh well, better than having to use Times New Roman. Fucking butt ugly font!
citizenwayne62: One second, I gotta use the bathroom. *pottie break* DAMN BLADDER.
prity0ntheinside: Seriously it is an ugly font.
prity0ntheinside: lol okie
citizenwayne62: I'm Back!
prity0ntheinside: alrighty.
citizenwayne62: I agree, Times New Roman should be renamed "ASSBUTT".
prity0ntheinside: lol
citizenwayne62: :-)
prity0ntheinside: sable yer to funny
prity0ntheinside: too even
citizenwayne62: Awww... thanks!
citizenwayne62: Yer funny, too man. Our bladder
conversations rock the casbah!!
prity0ntheinside: god if my english teacher saw my grammar that i've been using after graduation she'd shit her pants..
citizenwayne62: (Sheriff don't like it, do-do-do...)
prity0ntheinside: oh indeed
citizenwayne62: Scott would be shitting his pants, too. Ha ha ha. "There's no commas between the "ha's"!!"
citizenwayne62: He'd go spastic. :-)
citizenwayne62: Scott's the best teacher. I love him. My favourite teacher ever.
prity0ntheinside: I hated my english teacher, she was like the teacher in "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" she gave me anxiety attacks
prity0ntheinside: she used to talk about the students that weren't there to everyone else, and tell them that they sucked.
citizenwayne62: ARRG!! *shakes fist mightily at mean teacher of Tainted's*
prity0ntheinside: horrible teacher.. eek.
citizenwayne62: That was rude of her. *more emphasized fist shaking*
citizenwayne62: Scott's against teacher's like that. I had a 3rd grade teacher that didn't like me.
prity0ntheinside: Teachers should never develop a hatred for students
citizenwayne62: Kids would go make shit up about things I "did" to them, and she'd yell at me about it, but if they did something they didn't do it.
citizenwayne62: Exactly! I couldn't agree more with you.
prity0ntheinside: i used to outsmart my 1rst and 3rd grade teacher.. (she was the same person) she hated me for that. but she laughs about it now
prity0ntheinside: our rules were no talking, i wrote notes.
citizenwayne62: Ha ha ha, you smart ass! :-)
prity0ntheinside: then the rules were no writing notes, and i'd use signals to my friend
prity0ntheinside: it pissed her off
citizenwayne62: HA HA HA!!!
citizenwayne62: That's great.
prity0ntheinside: thank you thank you :-)
prity0ntheinside: *curtsy*
citizenwayne62: Encore! Encore!
citizenwayne62: You live in Las Vegas, right?
prity0ntheinside: no mirandaj lives there.. ill go visit her soon. i live in Reno.
citizenwayne62: Oh, ok. I'm gettin' hole.com board members confused now! D'oh!
citizenwayne62: My Grandma is gonna go back to Vegas soon. She would have gone earlier, but my Grandpa unfortunately passed away. :-(
citizenwayne62: Hello?
prity0ntheinside: i know heard about that, i'm soo sorry sable *hugs*, my grandparents lived in vegas forever. but they moved back up here
citizenwayne62: *hugs* Thank-you. :-)
prity0ntheinside: ack, egawd. mandy moore..
citizenwayne62: My Grandma (and Grandpa when he was alive) would go live in Vegas for the winter, and come back to Wisconsin for the summer. But since my Grandpa died, my Grandma is going to sell the diesel engine truck and the fifth wheel.
citizenwayne62: I don't like Many Moore. Her voice annoys me, and I don't know what's so fucking special about her.
prity0ntheinside: is she going to live there permanetly?
citizenwayne62: I don't know. Probably. She might fly back for the holidays.
citizenwayne62: She used to come back for the summers because of me. :-) (Her and Grandpa.) But since I'm moving to Ann Arbor, this coming June, she probably will only come for Christmas. I'm not sure, though.
prity0ntheinside: gosh, i hope she's doing alright.
citizenwayne62: Yeah, she's handling it really good. I know she gets upset sometimes. Also, when she sees other [old] women with their [old] husbands, she gets kind of jealous. So I tell her how much cooler Grandpa was than that woman's husband. She likes that. :-)
prity0ntheinside: :-) thats so sweet. i haven't had the experience of losing a loved one yet, but i can tell you that i don't think i'll make it through
citizenwayne62: You will. Not to mention, my biological grandpa (my grandma's first husband) died in 1974.
prity0ntheinside: i dunno it seems so hard. i envy you sable
citizenwayne62: Oh man, I don't know what to say now.
citizenwayne62: If you ever lose someone you love, just cherish the good memories you have with them, and know that they are with you in your heart and mind.
prity0ntheinside: *takes the advice* i will. hopefully.
citizenwayne62: *hugs*
prity0ntheinside: awww... thank you =) *hugs* ann arbor is an art school right? i believe thats whatyou said before?
citizenwayne62: I'll be there for you when the unfortunate inevitable (as I call it) happens.
prity0ntheinside: thank you, and ill most likely take you up on that offer
citizenwayne62: Well, Ann Arbor has an art school.
prity0ntheinside: so its a general university?
citizenwayne62: Yeah.
prity0ntheinside: ahh, in new york?
citizenwayne62: New York? Ann Arbor is in Michigan. :-)
citizenwayne62: I got confused with the New York.
prity0ntheinside: woah.. i'm way off on that
citizenwayne62: Ha ha ha. Did you think Ann Arbor was in New York?
prity0ntheinside: lol yeah
citizenwayne62: (I'm not laughing at you.)
prity0ntheinside: its alright, people laugh at me all the time. im kinda dense.
citizenwayne62: I couldn't move that far away from my mom/family.
citizenwayne62: Yeah, but I'm sensitive. :-
prity0ntheinside: i couldn't do that either
citizenwayne62: Ann Arbor is only a 5-8 hour drive from Kenosha, Wisconsin.
prity0ntheinside: i'm moving to riverside and i don't know if i can part with my mom.
citizenwayne62: I know I can, I just don't want to go too far, you know? Ann Arbor is far enough away for me. :-)
prity0ntheinside: yeah, unfortunatly i'm not too independant. maybe i can move all of my family with me.
prity0ntheinside: teehee. so your major is?
citizenwayne62: Oh, I'm not going to college. :-
prity0ntheinside: ohh okay
citizenwayne62: My friend Sue is like that. If she moves anywhere, her parents are coming with her. :-)
citizenwayne62: It's all good. College just ain't for me.
citizenwayne62: I love Sue's parents, her mom is the sweetest, and her dad is cool. They're into all the same music Sue and I are into, which is cool as hell. :-)
prity0ntheinside: so what are you going to do? *woah, sorry if i sound like a parental figure, or if i'm too nosy*
citizenwayne62: You don't sound too much like a parental unit, or too nosy. :-)
prity0ntheinside: exactly thats how my mom is. she loves Hole. she likes nirvana better though. my older sister got to her first. my father on the other hand, lives with my cousin and listens to pure rap
citizenwayne62: I'm not sure what I'm going to do there. Right now, my answer is, "Just live". :-)
citizenwayne62: Your parents sound cool, though. :-)
prity0ntheinside: good deal :-D
citizenwayne62: My dad and I share a common love for Bowie and Springsteen.
citizenwayne62: :-D
prity0ntheinside: see my dad liked old 70s rock nstuff, but hes still got the mentality of a 18 year old so he likes whatever my cousins make him listen too. he's forgotten his roots
citizenwayne62: I like Ann Arbor, though, because it's 30 miles west of Detroit. I like living by big cities, but I don't like living in them. I get lost easy.
citizenwayne62: We should pummel your old man over the head with some Stooges and MC5. :-) How old is your dad?
prity0ntheinside: i love cities. riverside is 10 miles out LA. i want to live in LA, i just don't think i'm ready for it
prity0ntheinside: my dad is 42. he has his tongue peirced too, its that midlife crisis thing. i'm so embarrased he did that
citizenwayne62: Kenosha is 53 miles north of Chicago (where my father is from), and is some odd miles (about a 45 minute drive) south of Milwaukee.
citizenwayne62: Wow. Does he wear baggie pants and Fubu, too?
prity0ntheinside: lmao. well, subtly he does. its kinda like Fila or Adidas.. but he doesn't go too overboard
citizenwayne62: I never thought I'd know someone who's 42 year old father was into hip hop... Strange... Nothing too bad, though. At least he's not like my old man.
citizenwayne62: At least he's not walking around trying to be a "G", though.
prity0ntheinside: My dad's got his issues, but i think thats why i love him so much. luckily i dont live with him otherwise i think it'd get to me more
citizenwayne62: He sounds like a loveable character. ;-)
prity0ntheinside: your dads not normal?
prity0ntheinside: teehee
citizenwayne62: He went from working class to bourgeosis. It was scary.
prity0ntheinside: eek.
citizenwayne62: I love him, but he's also a worldclass cheapskate - and admitedly!
prity0ntheinside: lol, well at least he admits his faults.
prity0ntheinside: thats a pro
citizenwayne62: But he adjusted the clutch on my car ("The Clash City Rocker"), and he also brought the space heater over yesterday.
citizenwayne62: The heat in my house is broken right now, and it's starting to get cold in Wisconsin.
prity0ntheinside: see i think all dads are really unique. but you got to love them
prity0ntheinside: my step dad is from minnesota. and his sister is from wisconsin. i get those stories all the time. =)
prity0ntheinside: the "how i shoved snow for hours" kinda stories
citizenwayne62: Exactly. Even if they're 42 hip hoppers, or 46 year old world class cheapskates who used to be working class.
citizenwayne62: My brother Bobby lives in Minneapolis. (Speaking of Minnesota.)
citizenwayne62: I used to walk to school in snow that was knee-deep. Thank God I got a car. Though last winter was EXTREMELY (and strangely) mild.
prity0ntheinside: pardon my unknown geography, they're neighboring states or am i wrong?
citizenwayne62: Yes, they are neighboring states. :-)
prity0ntheinside: woohoo!!!
citizenwayne62: Though, Minneapolis is also (like Ann Arbor) a 5-8 hour drive from Kenosha. Bobby drove it once for no reason at all. Just wanted to come home, I guess.
citizenwayne62: *pats Tainted on the head*
citizenwayne62: *gives her cookie*
prity0ntheinside: c is for cookie.. thats good enough for me
citizenwayne62: :-D
prity0ntheinside: ack have you heard about the charlies angel premire thingy? i would like to enter
citizenwayne62: The movie looks strangely good. Where do you enter?
prity0ntheinside: i'm not sure, brooke said today was the day it started but i don't know where the contest thingy is.
citizenwayne62: Oh. It sounds cool/
citizenwayne62: / = .
prity0ntheinside: that movie looks soo good. drew is now doing a remake of Barbarella.. i used to love Barbarella.. i'm so happy
citizenwayne62: I never heard of Barbarella. Now I feel stupid. But Drew kicks some serious ass. :-)
citizenwayne62: So does Cameran Diaz.
prity0ntheinside: its an old old 60's movie with Jane Fonda. and shes this space age superhero
prity0ntheinside: it was the cheesiest scifi movie but i loved it
citizenwayne62: Sounds cool, though I am not a huge Jane Fonda fan.
citizenwayne62: They make Jane Fonda toilet paper.
prity0ntheinside: well i can't say that i like jane fonda either. i just liked that movie. heavens no, i'm not fond of jane
prity0ntheinside: toilet paper? oh for fucks sakes.. so you can say "i wiped with jane today"
citizenwayne62: Yeah, military people don't like her at all/
citizenwayne62: / = .
citizenwayne62: You can't buy it, though. There were only a few rolls made. Some guy who used to be in the Marines who runs an Military Surplus store in my town happens to have a roll. :-)
prity0ntheinside: wow. thats still kinda neat.
citizenwayne62: Yeah, it was really funny.
prity0ntheinside: i bet ferrah fawcett has a roll or two of her own..
citizenwayne62: Ha ha ha... I haven't seen one of those yet, but it would be funny if I did!
citizenwayne62: How old are you again? I forgot.
prity0ntheinside: the shrines i've seen devoted to her. you'd think these people were nuts
citizenwayne62: Ha ha ha.
citizenwayne62: Hello?
prity0ntheinside: omg someone compared the hole.com site to marilynmanson.com, evil
prity0ntheinside: i'm still here. not dead or anything
citizenwayne62: AHHH!! You can't do that, man. It's WRONG! Hole.com is far superior to marilynmanson.com! The people who come to Hole.com are generally a) cooler b) friendlier.
citizenwayne62: Glad you didn't abandon me!
prity0ntheinside: exactly. whew. i nearly choked on my soda when i read that
citizenwayne62: Who had the audacity to compare sites? Where are you right now?
prity0ntheinside: http://www.holemusic.com/soapbox/showth read.php?threadid=9624
prity0ntheinside: omg have you seen the previews for 'Lost Souls'
citizenwayne62: Yeah, it looks really good!!
citizenwayne62: I want to see it soooo bad!!!
citizenwayne62: You never answered my question: How old are you?
citizenwayne62: One sec, I have to use the throne. The eagle is landing.
prity0ntheinside: lol okay, and i'm 18 btw..i'll wait patiently
citizenwayne62: BACK! Peeing is a marathon for me. :-)
prity0ntheinside: i understand.
citizenwayne62: Finally, someone understands!! *hugs bladder buddy*
prity0ntheinside: today i drank too much water. lord i've never seen the malls bathroom soo much in one trip before in my life
citizenwayne62: Ha ha ha. I had to hold my potty until I got home from Milwaukee. :-
citizenwayne62: I had to go to a doctor's appointment up there.
prity0ntheinside: omg. road trips. oy vey.
citizenwayne62: That's what I say!
prity0ntheinside: i'd love to drive to vegas. but ya know. my bladder says otherwise
citizenwayne62: It's like, Man, I have to use the bathroom again...
citizenwayne62: DAMN BLADDERS!!!
prity0ntheinside: yep. its horrible
prity0ntheinside: and i have this odd fear of airplane potties
citizenwayne62: *shakes fist vigorously at bladder*
prity0ntheinside: i cant use them. so i'm screwed either way
citizenwayne62: Train and bus ones, man, those are worse.
prity0ntheinside: eek. i can't even imagine

5 days until Bad Religion!
Sit And Drink Pennyroyal Tea
10/8/00
Dad came over today. I made a post about it at the Hole messageboard. He brought my space heater over, and also looked at the heater. But he couldn't fix it.
Also, as predicted, he nagged me, ha ha ha. He kept lecturing me about my future. Blah blah blah. The usual.
Grandma and I went out for our ritual Sunday night dinner. I like that, it gives us a chance to talk. That was my Sunday. sable
P.S. - I also printed some pictures of the very handsome, David Duchovny. Ahhh...
P.S.S. - I also had Pennyroyal Tea for the first time in what seemed year.
6 Days Until Bad Religion!
Help Me, I'm Fuckin' Cornered...
10/7/00
Yesterday (10/6), I had a half day of school. I was very happy about that. Mom, Grandma, and I went out to eat for lunch. That was nice. I taught them all about the term, "T.V. Eye" (Twat Vibe Eye). I can be open with them like that.
Later that evening (on 10/6), I downloaded AOL Instant Messenger. (My SN: citizenwayne62) I had a conversation with my friend ophelia* on AIM. It was cool.
Today I woke up early. I was happy about that. Brushed my teeth, took a shower, ate a blueberry muffin, and hopped on the computer. Worked a little on moving my Stooges site to it's new location, which is something I've been slaving over all day.
The video I've been waiting for forever, "Iggy and The Stooges + Solo", came in today. That was thee highpoint of the day. I watched it the minute I got it out of the box.
It really sucks at my house right now. We don't have any heat. It's getting really fuckin' cold right now in Wisconsin. sable
P.S. - I also recieved Nirvana's "Outcesticide 2: The Needle and the Damage Done" CD yesterday. I traded my Smashing Pumpkins' "Live at the Rivera" CD with Rima (from the Hole board) for it. I'm lovin' it!
Come as You Are
10/5/00
Today was an ok day. Pretty boring. I went to the library during period 2, per usual. I didn't get any work done, though. That's bad. I can't do that often. Anyhow...
After school, I did some lit dropping with Paul for the Gore campaign. It was pretty fun. A new experience. A little before that, I helped make phone calls and close envelopes.
Also, I'm moving my Stooges site, Jesus Loves The Stooges, to my friend dimeboy's site, sugarless.ws. You can still view JLTS at its virtue.nu home, but I highly suggest you check out my kick ass coming soon page at the sugarless.ws site, just click here to see it! Yeah, it's cool. I love that picture. And finally, someone was able to get it through my head how to do FTP! (Thanks dimeboy.) sable
My Heart is Broke, But I Have Some Glue
10/4/00
Today was an ok kind of day. I really didn't do much. My classes went by rather fast, and today was an early release day (for those of us who stay until 3:05 - I am one of them), so I didn't have a period 4B class, and I got out at 2:15.
Had an interesting discussion with Scott, Val, and Svend in TA today. There was a bit of a highpoint. It's one of those discussions that goes on through TA and into lunch. Rather long, and I'm not remembering things well today, so I won't even attempt to do a recap.
After school, Grandma and I went to go visit both my Grandpa's and Biograndpa's graves. First, we stopped at Piggly Wiggly and I picked up a Marilyn Manson ticket, and I will be going with Sue. (I'm not a huge MM fan, but he is pretty good live, I think, and it would be nice to bask in my memories of my days in jr. high.)
Then, we went to the cemetary. Grandma and I cried, and talked about how much we missed him. sable
Excuse me, While I Kiss the Sky...

Today was just another one of your "regular" Sundays. Didn't do much. I was gonna go for a walk, but I didn't.
Around 3 pm, I went to dad's. He checked out my clutch on The Clash City Rocker. He adjusted it - cause it desperately needed adjusting. I also borrowed two photo albums. I'm gonna scan some pictures.
Grandma and I went to Gateway Cafe for dinner. We talked a lot about Grandpa. It's not something we do much, but tonight, well, we did. We talk a lot about PaPa once in a while. We also decided that we were going to go out to eat for dinner - just me and her - every Sunday until she leaves in October.
Yeah, that was my Sunday. sable
Jimi Hendrix
Purple Haze
10/1/00
Something I find interesting from "Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix"...
Long hailed as one of Jimi's signature songs, "Purple Haze" was inspired by the guitarist's vivid interest in science fiction. According to Hendrix, the song's colorful imagery came to him in a dream. "I dream a lot and I put a lot of my dreams down as songs," he explained in a 1967 interview. "'Purple Haze' was all about a dream I had that I was walking under the sea."
For producer Chas Chandler, it was the song's muscular hook which immediately captured his attention. "'Purple Haze' was written backstage at the Under Cut Club on Boxing Day (December 26, 1966)," recalled Chandler. "The riff had come to him about ten days before. I heard him playing it at the flat and was knocked out. I told him to keep working on that, saying, 'that's the next single!' That afternoon at Upper Cut, he started playing the riff in the dressing room. I said, 'write the rest of that!', so he did."
Originally issued in Britain as The Experience's second single in March 1967, "Purple Haze" earned the group its second UK top five chart success, peaking at number three.

Almost Famous
All Along the Watchtower
9/30/00
New layout time, heh heh. I was gonna do an Iggy Pop layout, but the picture I scanned turned out too big, and Geocities wouldn't upload it. So, I did an MC5 layout instead.
Last night, Sue and I went to see the movie Almost Famous. What a great movie! If you haven't seen it yet, get your ass in gear and see it! It's worth the money. You'll be glad you did, trust me.
After the movie, Sue and I went to McDonald's. After we were done eating, we came back out, and her car (which she named "Syd" - after the Pink Floyd member that went insane) wouldn't start. We sat around and waited, tried to start it again, but Syd still wouldn't start. We tried this a few times, but Syd never started. So, we called her dad from a payphone, and he came by, did some magical mechanic trick, and Syd started. Sue dropped me off at home, and I called it a night. (Such excitement, right?)
Today, I helped the Democratic party make phone calls. There's gonna be a "Presidential Debate Watch Party" this Tuesday, October 3rd. I'll probably be going to that. So I just called people, basically. Wasn't that bad, though. It was rather fun hearing the different answering machine messages people have, and quite shocking at how rude some people can be. (But I won't get into that.)
Then Paul (the guy who is running this) gave me a ride home. When I got home, my mother was making accusations (though not very obvious - but I knew the implication was there), that I was sleeping with him. I'm not going to lie, I've..."been around the block" a bit, and she does know. So now I think she thinks that I'm the town whore or something. *sigh* No, Paul and I did not do anything other than talk.
When I got home, I went for a walk. I went to Osco, cause I had to pick up some face wash. On the way there, some dumb bitch who lives in the house on the corner of 16th Ave. and 35th St. accused me of beating my dog - which is something I would never do. She claims she "was around one day when I was beating my dog". What-fucking-ever. She's a dumb, immature, fucktard anyway. She has the maturity level of a 2 year old, and the intelligence of a 3rd grader. I've dealt with this cunt whore before. She'll get hers.
After I got home from Osco, I went to Best Buy. There I got Jimi Hendrix "Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix" and Queen's "Greatest Hits".
Yeah, that was my day. sable
P.S. - I broke up with Eddie. I'm glad I did, though. He wasn't my type. Though, my standards are extremely, ridiculously high.
