| Thursday, July 11, 2002 Hmm - Is anyone out there faithful? Damn! I swear, sometimes I wish I didn't know the things that people tell me. Now, this doesn't apply to me, because I'm very obviously not in a relationship, but… It seems almost everyone that I know that is in a relationship, is screwing around on his or her partner. And this is especially true for the friends I know who are in gay relationships. I mean, holy shit, what sort of hope does this give me that I'll ever have the chance of finding someone who won't be screwing around on me, AND, will this mean that it's very realistic that I too, will be unable to resist the temptation of fooling around on my significant other? I will be honest, just hearing these stories scares me, and yet, I totally understand the underlying motivations, and furthermore I can't say that I wouldn't do the exact same thing in that situation! I hate to sound jaded, but it really makes me doubt the "reality" or possibility of a true, happy, monogamous relationship. |

10, 2002 Ahh - Nice night tonite. I had a good solo night with some quality Adam time. I went and worked out while I did laundry at our nice facilities here. Afterwards, while I waited for my clothes to dry, I took a dip in the pool. It was the perfect night for it, and the pool was all warm and dark... Very relaxing, especially after a great workout. I got some good thinking done. |

| Monday, July 8, 2002 Concert: Dave Matthews - A fun filled adventurous day with my friend Eric in town, as we trolloped around town. We went down to Little Five to walk the streets of the closed stores... simply because we had nothing better to do. We had a great lunch at Los Bravos, and went back to my Apt to get ready for the night. We headed down to HiFi Buys Amphitheatre to see the Dave Matthews Band. We also ended up connecting with my friends Brian, Brett, Alyssa, and her sister Amanda. The 6 of us had a blast as we all got our drink on and generally made asses of ourselves. What a blast though. I'm not sure I've had a better time at a concert in recent memory. |

- 4:22 am Hmm - Yah, it's been a while since I last posted, and it felt right to throw up some words just so that people didn't think that I died or perhaps otherwise left this world. The simple fact of things really boils down to this move. Since moving into this new apartment, things have remained busy. With unpacking, and getting into a totally new routine, it's kept me on my toes. But I am loving the new setup. I'm really getting this place into shape. I'm very happy with the way things have worked out. |

Saturday, June 23, 2002 Rave:
House Of God - Johan Gielen - After
sleeping a record 14 hours (!) last night, I woke up for the first time in
the longest time without having to rush off somewhere with only 4 hours of
sleep. With the move and so much going on lately, I just haven't had
the time to sleep. Today was a nice change. I ran to
Lawrenceville and picked up a couple things, and ran some errands, then
dashed back here to setup my bed (finally), and get ready to head to the
Globe for a rave. Johan Gielen was the headliner tonite, a UK house
DJ from Holland. I wasn't familiar with him, but a majority of my
friends told me good things... and I was just looking for an excuse to get
out and party... So I arrived down there and hooked up with Chuck, Amy,
and Will and shook booty all nite long. So many hotties there tonite!
Urrrrrh... A lot of fun... Just before I left, I got to see my
friend Junior whom I haven't seen in forever! I will definitely put
Johan on the list of DJ's to see again! |

19, 2002 Move In Day - Well... As it turns out... For a few reasons, I needed to bump up my move-in date. So, yesterday, I went and go the keys. The girl at the leasing office was cool and isn't going to charge me for the 2 extra days. It's about 11pm as I write this, perhaps the last news bite from my Lawrenceville headquarters, but, thus far, there isn't much over at the pad. I have the Z93 Ford Excursion here though, so I'm about to go fill that to the brim and take a load over. So far, no complaints. It's a small cozy pad, but, it's well done, and is going to suit me perfect. |

| Saturday, June 15, 2002 Rave: Deja Vu Deux - Day 2 - Went back up to the Globe tonight for the 2nd night of raving. Tonite, the Prophecy Collective, Spacemen, and a few others were on the agenda. I got there around 1am since I was running late and was going to end up missing Rick West, and didn't mind missing Prophecy... but as it turned out, the timeslots were all askew and Prophecy didn't come on til 3am, followed immediately by Spacemen. Feelgood was on beforehand and did a good job keeping things energetic. Prophecy wasn't bad, but predictable with pretty much the identical show they put on each time they come through town. I did get a free CD though, so I can't hate too much. Spacemen, while campy, were very enjoyable. I love their style of tunes... almost electro in style. Good fun. It was a great night and a lot of fun hanging out with Chuck, that didn't end up wrapping up til around 5am. After which I drove back to Lawrenceville to shower and throw down a quick breakfast. I then left at 6:45am to take Steve to the airport for a business trip, dropped him off, and doubled-back to the radio station where I hung out til 3pm with our Chief Engineer so that he and I could make sure that the radio station stayed on the air while our office building did work on the power grid of the building. I finally got home and majorly assed out til around 10pm. It was a crazy day, but tons of fun, and totally something different. |

Friday, June 14, 2002 Rave:
Deja Vu Deux - Day 1 - Deja Vu
Deux went down tonight at the Globe with Baby Anne, Icey, and Irene.
It was a great turnout, despite the $28-$35 ticket price.... The price
does include TWO nights of tunes... tonight is just part one... I got
there around 1ish, and was thankful to have no line, which suprised me
because of the
large number of cars in the lot. Icey was on, and
was sending out some great classic Icey breaks, and even spun a remix of
the really cool Dirty Vegas tune "Days Go By"... After Icey, DJ
Irene came on, and WOW... what a great pleasure that was.
I had heard much about her, and this was my first time seeing Irene
(to my knowledge/recollection)… and she did not disappoint!
She came on with a huge burst of energy, and threw out the Hard
House tunes loud and proud! The
crowd ate it up big time. I
could not tear myself from the dancefloor during her entire 1 and a half
hour set. I will definitely
be seeing her again! I also
got a chance to enjoy some quality from my pal-o-pals, Jeff, aka DJ
Invisible out back… It was good times, hanging with my very good friend
Chuck, Amy, and Jeff, Mike and the rest of the crew.
I look forward to Saturday nights party, but I cannot see what can
top Irene’s massive performance tonight. |

| Saturday,
June 8, 2002 Rave: Deja Vu Deux Pre-Party - Went to the Globe tonight, for the first time in a long time. There really hasn't been that many good parties lately. After I got back from my Miami trip earlier this year, the scene has been sorta dry... or maybe I'm just comparing it too much to Miami... In either event, I've just been sorta waiting it out. Well tonight, VinylBoy threw a free party to gear the city up for his Deja Vu Deux next weekend. Free always works, and DJ Santana is usually fun, so I headed over and enjoyed myself. Hanging out with Chuck for a good part of the night and also seeing various friends including Kenneth was great. |

Saturday, June 8, 2002 Engage
Mobile 99 - Well poor 'lil Mobile
4 had a problem last week. On Friday, the ignition switch failed and
I had to rig it up so I could get home from the station. I stayed up
all Friday night and drove my car over to Lanier Honda this morning when
they opened at 7 am. It didn't take them long to confirm that the
ignition switch had in fact failed, and would need to be replaced...
Luckily for me, the timing couldn't have been better. Honda
apparently issued a recall 2 weeks ago about the ignition switch in
Preludes stating: "ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION
SWITCH CAN DEGRADE DUE TO THE HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE
SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE
ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH." Not surprisingly,
I was pleased, since I was looking at a $400-500 repair if I had to pay
for it out of pocket... To boot, Lanier Honda found that there was another
recall issued in 1999 having to do with the ball joints (no jokes) on the
front suspension. The previous owners never got it repaired, so they
are taking care of that, plus giving me a full tune up, and oil change...
all for free.... as if that weren't enough, since the parts aren't all in,
they are providing me a rental car free of charge (see pictured: ACC
Mobile 99, a Saturn SL2) to drive while my car gets repaired.
Sweet! I miss Mobile 4 already, but I'm really diggin gettin' $800+
of car work for free! =) |

Movie - Went and saw Undercover Brotha tonite with Brian and a couple of his friends. Funny movie. If you liked slapstick, innuendo, humor sort of flicks, you'll enjoy this movie. I can't go so far as to say I'd buy this movie or anything, but it was good fun. =) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tuesday,
May 28, 2002Oh, I Forgot To Tell You! - It's official... I found my new apartment! I'll be moving into my new apartment at Post Dunwoody near the end of June. It's a nice lil one bedroom pad that is loaded with the niceties of life that a person just has to have in this day and age! It's also right on the MARTA line so I can cruise to class as needed with relative ease. I'm psyched... I'm sure I'll plan a lil get together at the ACC party pad (complete with party porch) very soon, so check back. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Monday,
May 27, 2002Movie - I went and saw "About A Boy" tonight. This was a cute flick and while certainly not everyone's cup of tea, it was well done and very enjoyable. If you're in touch with your sensitive side, go and check this movie out. Hugh Grant does a great job in this flick. It's essentially about a fairly bitter and jaded guy who has romantically played the scene his whole life and hasn't had to work after living off his father's money... when he finds a larger meaning to his life. It's not completely as cheesy and Hollywood cookie cutter as most films these days, and if you enjoy British humor, you will enjoy the film. =) |

Saturday,
May 25, 2002Meep-Meep - I made my way out to Stone Mountain Park today for our Z93 "America" Live in Concert / Memorial Weekend celebration. There was a huge turnout and I had a great time kickin some serious VIP up in there with the catered food, and drivin around golf carts all day like a mad man. That was all class if ya know what I mean. And.. me thinks ya do! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Friday,
May 24, 2002John Mayer - Went down to On The Bricks at Centennial Olympic Park downtown tonight to see John Mayer. What a great show he played. The crowd was hyped and he was hyped about the turnout. He played some great tunes, and made some funny remarks between songs. The weather couldn't have been better for an outdoor show like that. The almost full moon made it spectacular |

Saturday,
May 18, 2002Concert: Green Day & Blink 182 - Much fun tonight as Alyssa and Brian and I went up to HiFi Buys Amphitheatre for Green Day and Blink. Green Day absolutely threw it down with a great show with some awesome crowd interaction. While Blink wasn't as involved or as heavy as a show, they did a great job too with their specialty brand of humor. It was a great show and being tanked always helps! |

Tennessee Aquarium... And then some - Fun day today... Brian, Eric, Gerrell, and I took my Mom's Suburban and drove up to Chattanooga, Tennessee to see the Tennessee Aquarium. Mapquest told us it was a 3 hour drive, but we managed it in 1 and a half. It was a fun ride complete with smack talking and showing out. Once we got to Chattanooga we got our tickets and grabbed some lunch at Mellow Mushroom. Good pie. I was impressed with the Aquarium. It was quite big, and had helluva lot more than I expected. We made our way through and then headed over to the IMAX theater to watch a special on the Space Station narrated by mister Top Gun: Tom Cruise. That was also fairly cool and inspired the thought among some of how fun it would be to have sex in space. Once that mess was done, we loaded up and headed back to Atlanta, where we popped in at Brian's house out in Stone Mountain. We chilled out there for a good bit before taking off to go climb Stone Mountain.... which we did... (minus Gerrell)... After our mountain climb we cruised around Stone Mountain and popped in at the Dunkin Donuts and local Checkers before taking off back for Brian's house where we proceeded to watch the movie K-Pak. Interested flick... After the movie, we headed out and went up to my house in Lawrenceville to pick up some stuff and doubled back to Brian's dorm at Georgia Tech where we proceeded to chill out and cause trouble. I didn't get home til around 10am and grabbed a quick 3 hours of sleep before I had to wake up for a Mother's Day Cookout we were having at the house. But it was well worth it. A kick ass day! >> Check Out The Pics |

Saturday,
May 4, 2002Music Midtown 2002 - What a whirlwind weekend this has been!!!!... From last nights late night dorm drink fest with Brian which caused us to miss our way to Music Midtown, to today's festivities. I had an Accounting final today at noon, which i had to drag my hungover ass out of bed for... Let it be said that i "did not give my best performance" on that exam. Not so much that I was hungover and tired as hell, but that I HATE accounting.... After that insanity, I picked Brian up from Tech and we made our way to Music Midtown to see Flickerstick. I was a bit clueless about them, but I was pleasantly surprised. The weekend's rain had made the open area grass field a mud pit, but that did nothing to hamper our fun. They put on a great show. Afterwards, we made our way over to the 99X stage to meet up with my friends Chuck and Amy...always a lovely sight for my eyes! Chuck, Brian and I pulled some serious 007 action and scammed our way into the Turner South indoor acoustic concert with Don McLean, June Carter Cash, Mike Mills, Cindy Wilson, and Edwin McCain... it was peppered with some stellar preformaces and a great warm-up song from Doria Roberts. I really enjoyed that indoor show. After that ended, Brian and I headed back to GSU to change and pick up Brett at Tech to go see Spiderman... Good flick... don't be lame, go see it. It's been a great night and I'm bushed... I'm out! |

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Monday, April 30, 2002 You Sunk My Battleship! - Hung out at Nate's with Nate, Kenneth and Dan tonight. We had drinks as usual, watched DVDs, and tried a new drinking game that we made up... Electronic Drinking Battleship... lets just say that it works quite well. |

| Friday, April 26, 2002 Biznasss - Long time no post eh?... Yah, this is true, but things have been busy as of late. I've been busy as hell at work designing some ASP code to show the "Now Playing" song on the air show up on the website. In addition, the school semester is coming to an end soon, so there is an abundance of work to deal with the finals and whatnot. Music Midtown is next weekend and aside from the fact that I have a final on that Saturday, and on the Monday following the festival, it should be a good time to party. I'm on the air tonight midnight to 6am, AND tomorrow night from 9pm to 1am once again. That should be some fun. I'm considering going to the mountains tomorrow to go hiking, but we will see how that plays out. OH, and since I officially have decided NOT to return to the dorms next year, I have been casually looking for an apartment. I think I found the complex I want to move into, and I will be working out details to try and move in there August 1st... we shall see. Let's see... what else is going on... ummm... oh yah!... I'm excited that my friends Gerrell and Eric will be coming to Atlanta in a couple of weeks. We are all geared up for some good times. I think that about catches things up for now. I'll be sure to bring you more life drama - as it occurs. |

10, 2002Hump Day, My A$$ - Man this has been an absolutely most insane week. My sleep schedule is still all askew to the extreme, and I know staying up till all hours of the AM partyin' with friends doesn't help, but... come on. It was a productive day at work today though. One of those days where you have a sheet full of stuff that needs fixing, and you just plow through, high on several cans of Mountain Dew, fixin' shit like nobody's bidness! |

311's Got The Boom Yall
- 311 returned to the Tabernacle tonight and what a show. I
met up with Justin and his friend and Jeff here at the dorms and hiked it
over the the Tabernacle. We did a little pre-party beving in Mobile
4 then went in to catch about 4 songs from Hoobastank. 311 came on
shortly after to an insane crowd. We were all on the floor of course
and began working our way towards the front... which we managed to do in
short order. It was soooo hot, and so packed in there. Anyone
not used to that would have panicked but I that is just how the pit at 311
goes. I was smiles the whole time and every time I caught Justin or
Jeff's eye, I got the same from them. Pal's and 311... Nothing
better. 311 brought out an arsenal of great tunes from their
collection, peppered with a few new and many classics. Nick Hexum's
stage dive during the encore capped a great performance. I was lucky
enough to get a 311 guitar pick. Unlike last time, which was one of
Tim's, this one was actually Nick Hexum's (see the pics). After the
show, Justin and I hung around around back of the Tabernacle for the
possible meet and greet opportunity with 311. After a long wait, we
were rewarded with visits from P-Nut and SA (the bassist and one of the
vocalists for 311). I got pictures with both and got them to sign a
poster of mine. It was a real treat, and although I was unable to
meet the entire band this time around, I was very satisfied with the way
the night went. A true treat to the beginning of a very busy yet exciting
week!>> Check Out The Pics |

16, 2002 "Oh
What A Day" - I
was sick of sleep-late-and-do-nothing Saturdays, so I decided not to sleep
in and get up and drive up to the mountains and hike a little bit and just
see something different. It was the perfect weather for it... Partly
cloudy and about 70 with a good breeze. There was a slight chance of
showers, but I decided to give it a whirl anyhow. I left around 1
after grabbing a Subway 'samich and fillup the car up with petrol. I
left straight from the dorms and decided to go check out Anna Ruby
Falls. My Dad had taken me there as a 'lil tyke so I wanted to see
how much I remembered. Plus you cant go wrong with
waterfalls. It took me about an hour and 15 minutes... 45
minutes less than Mapquest told me... So, I was happy. I did the
very short hike up to the falls and took the sights in, snapped a few pics,
and hiked back. It was about 4p at this point so I decided to detour
on my way home and stop in and see my Dad at his place since it was sorta
nearby. I hung out there and had dinner with my Dad and step mom
Carolyn, then left there around 7ish. I stopped by the Lawrenceville
house to get mail and such, and GaTech Brian invited me over for some
drinking. I was game and headed back to the GSU dorms to change and
whatnot. I finally got over to his dorms and started pounding some
bev's... I can tell you that doing shots of vodka and chasing it with
Smirnoff Ice will get you hammered fast. We all had a good time and Brian's
and by around 4am people started headin out... rounding out what was a
great, and quite eventful Saturday.>> Check Out The Pics |

14, 2002Soup Chef Virginity Lost - I was hungry and wanted something, but I wasn't quite sure what... So I did some web surfing (good ole web)... and found a recipe for a soup that sounded yummy. So I rode by the Krogahz on the way back to the dorms and picked up the needed ingredients and then came back and made a very impressive (if I say so myself) Corn and Crabmeat Bisque... from scratch baby!. Yum... To boot, Alyssa was over since she had to leave early in the AM for her trip to New Mexico to see her real dad that she hasn't seen in like 13 years... So it was a big night. Kick-ass soup, and quality Alyssa time. |

| Tuesday, March 12, 2002 Music Midtown - I waltzed into work and was there all of about 20 minutes, before I was whisked away with friends to the Music Midtown 2002 Press Conference at the Tabernacle. They had the place all setup like some sort of wedding, with big tables and a buffet of food and free beer! What a rough life. On top of that good stuff, I got to find out the lineup for Music Midtown. Looks like some kickass artists are coming. That will be a fun way to end the semester. May Contain Lactose - What a bum of a day. It's all rainy and gooey outside. On top of that, they shut off the water here at the dorms for "needed emergency repairs". So needless to say class had to be skipped, and I slept in. But now I'm awake, the water's back on, and I've had a shower. So I'm sitting here brainstorming about some life changes I want to make. I also have a hankerin' to cook. I think when I get off work tonight I'm going to make a "real" dinner. Maybe some baked stuffed bell peppers, some dirty rice, and a marinated pork loin roast. I'm thinking that sounds yum. |

| Friday, March 8, 2002 Rave: Baby Anne, Kimball Collins, Micro - Went over to the Tabernacle after I voiced my airshift at the station to catch the Mirage party. Always loads of fun, and after hooking up with my friend Chuck, and soon after the rest of the crew, we shook our booty til the early AM. After the party Chuck and I came back to the dorms and played some serious Halo on X-Box. We owned of course. |

Taking the rental car back tonight, and I am really starting to get excited about Miami! |

March 6, 2002Mobile 4 Returns - Yay! I got Mobile 4 back finally, and I cannot tell you how great it is to be back in my ride. She drives even better than before! A heavy dose of Spring Break drinking is on for tonight! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Rave: Vinyl Boy Anniversary w/ DJ Icey; Mobile 99 Broken Into - Went up to the Globe tonight. Since good ole Mobile 4 is in the shop having "upgrades" done, I took my rental car. Icey is always good to see, and lately when I've seen him spin, it's been a really great mix of sick beats. Plus, the fact that I was getting into the $27 party for free and that my friends would be there were motivating factors. I had a blast as usual hanging and dancing with my pals, and decided to leave around 4 or 5. However, someone else decided that my rental car looked like too much of a babe magnet and wanted in. The driver's side window was busted out and the glove compartment and car had been gone through for goodies. Of course... there was nothing in there, since it was a freaking rental car! Mine was one of about 5 in that section of the parking lot that had been broken into. As it turns out, someone else in the parking lot got held up at gunpoint by the same guys. So, as I see it, I got off lucky. Insurance will cover all the damages to the rental car, and I'll just swap it for another rental car tomorrow, but it makes you think. I said screw it anyhow on the way home, and went by the 24 hour Krystal and got some breakfast. To hell with negativity. |

February 28, 2002Read Between The Lines - This post won't make much sense if you don't write computer code, or don't know what ASP is, but I just had to ramble on. I have been coding all day in ASP to get various timestamp features for the Z93.com website... It's got me to thinking. (partially because I've been coding all day, and also because it's 3am and I am still coding)... But, it seems to me that computer programming has a big parallel to the way life plays out. In the sense that we lay it out like we want it, and sometimes it's sloppy. Other times... it's nicely laid out, but usually either way, we are so sure and confident we know how it will all end up. And I can say from personal experience, that when it doesn't play out just like I had planned, I am always baffled at where the error could be. As if, "what??? the almighty me could never make a mistake!"... I guess, in that sense, it's humbling to get kicked in the ass on occasion. Essentially it boils down to this. Sometimes, there are factors in life you just plain miss. Maybe because you were moving too fast, or maybe even because there was never a way you could have known... But that's just how it is. |

That 70's Mess In The ATH - Massive errand day for ACC. I ran all over the world and back again running errands and whatnot. But, I did manage to blow some disposable income of which I do not have. I picked up a Fender Acoustic Guitar (yay!) which sounds really awesome. The sound reverberates really well in it. I got my taxes done, and I also picked up a new digital camera (finally!) So, I hope to post some new pics all over the place. After my errand agendas, I headed out to Athens, where the "Party at The Moontower" was being held and Alyssa 'n Jeff's pad. There was a good few people there and good times were had. Always great to see the crew. Alyssa, Jeff, Tony, Kalilah, Brooke, Kerry, Troy, John... and the rest.. |

So, if you're on my sup's list... you had a shout-out at some point Friday night. =) |

February 13, 2002 Crutches
Make You Venerable To Panhandling - The pain was raining down
on my fun parade, so when I finished my Business Law exam today, I took
off for the doctor's office. They X-Rayed the whole foot deal (see
Feb 11, 2002 for the whole story), and said that I have a 3rd degree sprain... which the
doctor described as being as bad as if I had actually broken it. He
told me I'd need to wear an air splint, and that I'd be on crutches for at
least the next week. I DID get some fabulous drugs however...
Hyrodocodine does wonders for the noggin. This whole crutches thing
is great for getting pity, but I'm over it. I can no longer out
run the homeless for panhandling... And well, that's not good. But,
I'll continue to pop my pills and make up wonderful lies about what
happened to passerby's who keep asking me what happened, and be thankful for what I
got! |

February 12, 2002 What
tha? - OK, I admit it. I'm a geek, and I love living in the
new age. I cherish the fact that I never have to mail a check to pay
a bill, and that I use my debit card and AMEX like a mad man. But, I
still cannot for the life of me, understand how or why anyone in this day
and age still pays at the grocery store by writing out a check. I
can't believe stores actually still TAKE checks. I mean, what is
it? It's a note saying, "hey store, ummm, like I don't have any
money, but here's a piece of paper... and I wrote on it... so... will you
take that instead?"... And anyone who holds up the line long enough
to write out a check and go through the 8 pieces of identification
verification has balls. Even the fastest spending women, trained
with her quick draw pen skills, cannot write a check as fast as they could
have swiped her debit card. Are these shoppers intimidated by the
plastic? Perhaps a 4 digit PIN is too difficult to remember? I
need to know WHY damnit! |

February 9, 2002Rave: Deepsky - I got a hair cut today and ran my usual errands, but tonight was something to look forward to. A chance to celebrate as I headed up to the Tabernacle to see Deepsky among others. Deepsky preformed live at the very first rave I went to, and I always try to see them when they come into town. They came and dished it out in large proportions and everyone enjoyed. Afterwards, my and my lovely friends Amy, Peter, Chuck and many more, headed over to Innovox to chill at the after-party for a bit. It was fun, but too chill for the group so we all took off. A great night and good treat. |

February 7, 2002The 311 Goo - The goo dispenser went on overload today. My friend, Jason, who used to work with me at Z93 and now works for our sister station, a modern rock format station in West Palm Beach, Florida managed to get me a goodie the last time 311 came through town. Since he is the afternoon DJ on the station, he was able to get backstage access etc to the 311 show and got me a sweet ass poster (similar to the image on the right), and then... got the entire band to sign it!!!!... I am wading in a big pile of goo from the hooked-upness I feel. The love. The goo! =) 311 Night - Justin came over tonight and we watched ETSD 2, then learned some of Down on the guitar. A jam packed 311 night. |

February 2, 2002Movie Tyme - The weekend is here!!!... and I went and hung out with my buddy Davey-Dave-David. We ended up goin to see that Mandy Moore movie, A Walk To Remember. It was nice and romantic, and a lot like a 2 hour Dawson's Creek special you might see on the WB... David was disappointed in the ending, but I had no real complaints. We also watched some QAF episodes back at his pad and put in some good hang time. On a side note, the weather this week has been gorgeous, and now apparently there is the word that snow might be in the forecast next week... How insane!... Only in Atlanta. God love Atlanta, the city you can count on for true weather drama. |

Rave: Ravalicious - Went up to the globe tonight and waited in the extremely long line to get in for Skylab200, Sikora, Native Outlander, Purple Haze, and more for tonight's Plur Planet anniversary party.

9, 2002Cereal "O" Escapes: No One Injured - Tragedy struck home for one Georgia State University college student when an "O" from a box of Kellogg's Homer's Cinnamon Donut Cereal escaped from an unknown location sometime earlier this week. “I had assumed the ‘lil dude was in the bowl when I ate all of his brothers” said Adam Caskey, renter of the property where the small “O”’s stale corpse was discovered earlier today. “I’m
really quite shocked and saddened that I missed out on the chance to eat
him!”
Police officials who are investigating the incident have several
theories on how the renegade “O” may have escaped consumption.
The official stated that they “have not ruled out some sort of
sick, cereal suicide." and went on to say that they have not ruled
out foul play. "We have several
principle suspects in mind, including a banana peel that was located near
the crime scene shortly before the “O”’s disappearance.”
This is the first of such incidents reported this year following a
rash of occurrences during the fall of 2001 where several Frosted Mini-Wheats
and some Lucky Charms were found in similar locations. |

I Love Things - The old engineering trick worked... I had bought a new cell phone not too long ago, but on the way back from Thanksgiving in Florida, my phone got ker-plunked into a nice glass of coke (about the worst thing you can do to any electronic device). Well of course it didn't work after it dried, and I thought the thing was a total loss, but I tried the engineers-last-resort trick on it and it worked!... I took the battery and SIM chip out and dunked it into a warm tub of soapy water and then rinsed it and let it dry on top of the computer monitor over night. Sure enough, the next morning the sucker powered up. Sometimes, it just works out! |

9, 2001Z93 Xmas Party - Tonight I took Alyssa to the Z93 Staff Xmas party. This year we had it up at the Capital Grill in Buckhead. Took a while to get there as Alyssa and I found a way to get lost... but we finally managed to cruise on in just as everyone was being seated for dinner. Shwanky place by the way. I had a good time shmoozing with all the fellow co-workers in a non-work environment, and was certainly enjoying the free wine & food. The food there kicked ass, and in the meantime we all had a silent auction going on various items to benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank. I bid on and won the Sony Playstation 2. Rawk! After the party, Alyssa and I went and ran some errands then headed to Innovox for our final Innvox Sunday night. <tear> A lot of fun packed into tonight. |

8, 2001 D-Day - I had my accounting final exam this morning. I doubt that I flunked it, but beyond that, it's anyone's guess. After that mess, I came back here to the dorms and passed out into an all day coma. I think I finally stumbled out of bed at about 7. I ran some errands in Gwinnett and bought myself a couple of rings and then went back to the dorms to head over the Lorettas for the rave. Rave: DJ Dan, Kimball Collins & Nick Warren - Kimball Collins, DJ Dan, and Nick Warren were all spinning. I don't know what it is exactly, but I guess I am just not a DJ Dan fan... When I saw him spin last at the big party at the North-Atlanta Trade Center, I wasn't too impressed, and this time, I enjoyed it but wasn't overwhelmed. So I guess I will just make the assumption that he's good but just not my thing. Nick Warren was awesome, maybe the best of the night, and Kimball Collins was definitely hot. Perhaps one of the better recent performances I've seen of him. |

I rolled into Atlanta just before 11pm tonight, and after catching my breath and checking email for the first time in days, I threw back some bev's and walked down the street to club NV to catch Tiesto who was spinning there. There was a pretty good crowd there and there was definitely a vibe. I ended up running into several friends including Amy, Peter, and even the jaded fool Nolo! A good time was had by all, and even though I was rather exhausted, I found my groove and hung out there til just after 4. Great tunes. |

Florida Trip 2001 #4 Time to Explore - Today was my day to explore. After grabbing a bite to eat, I decided that I was just going to grab my map and get in the car and drive.... And so I did. I ended up heading downtown into Miami. I roamed around and went by Bayfront Park, (home of the Ultra3 music festival that I attended back in March.) It looked like something was going on down there, so I found a parking spot and went and checked it out. Sure enough, there was a Puerto Rican festival of some sort going on with dancing and singing, and various booths... I walked around and soaked up some culture, and then walked to the bayfront for some atmosphere. The waterfront is really nice down there. There's a good breeze off the bay, and the city lights just add that extra something. There was a cruise ship leaving port too just as I got there. That was cool to see. (I'm easily amused.) After doing that for a while, I headed back to the car and decided to scope out South Beach, so that I could figure out what to do later that night. I eventually found a place to park on 13th, and got out and walked around a bit. It's a great city, and I got a great chance to actually go ON the beach. That was nice. Afterwards I hit up this cool little pizza place and had this wild tasting pizza. It had leaves on it. =) But I like to live a little, so it all works. I took off back for the car so I could head back to the hotel and chill and get dressed up for the night. Just as I got to the car, my meter ran out and it started to rain a bit, so my timing worked out pretty well, heh. After getting ready back at the hotel, I went back to SoBe, and walked around for a good while. I eventually settled on Crobar and spent a good while there before getting pretty tired. On the way back to the car I hit up a hole in the wall pizza place. SoBe is dotted with these little places, most open 24-7. Good food. That winded down my evening, but I'm satisfied that I squeezed in a damn good amount of stuff. |

Florida Trip 2001 #4 South Beach - The group of us from the station who came down, left the hotel at around 10 and headed to South Beach to meet up with our media rep who would be taking us on a tour of various South Beach clubs. We met up with her at this posh restaurant/night club called BED. Just as the name suggests, the whole club is surrounded with booth like areas with large mattresses. The elite and rich evidentially come here, and relax on these mattresses and enjoy very expensive bottles of champagne. This club doesn't have a sign outside, and you pretty much can't get in unless you "know" someone. Apparently, a lot of SoBe works this way. It was very trendy, and there was a DJ spinning some atmosphere trance. After we finished off our first complimentary drink of the night and met the owner, we loaded up and moved on to our next night spot, "Level". This was one of the bigger clubs we ventured to tonight. There was a sizable crowd trying to get in the door out front. Apparently they had a Supermodel of the Year contest that night, and there was a big draw. Once again, the velvet ropes were unhooked and we were waived on in with no hassle and again directed to another VIP area where we sipped free champagne. I went one step further and bought a couple more drinks with the $20 I found on the sidewalk as we were going in, and then I started to get the buzz. Once that kicked in, I was ready for some dancin'. The music was very happening, and as it turned out, George Acosta was one of the DJ's spinning that night. What an awesome surprise. I got my groove on for a bit then we re-grouped and moved on to our third club, "Liquid". Here, the music was also good, and the crowd was attractive and all about dancing and socializing. This club was a bit more intimate than Level, but by no means small. We were whisked in and straight upstairs into the VIP area, and sipped down another free drink and overlooked the dance floor. I definitely feeling a slight buzz by this time, so I went downstairs and got some more moves on. I was looking forward to our last club of the evening, and soon, we were off to that... We hit up club "Opium". This was where Kaedy's friend Hardy (from the TV show Big Brother 2), worked, and when we got there, this club was definitely happening. We again got the royal treatment, and were all impressed by the decor of this place. It had this Asian theme, and the club centered around this open air courtyard with lush greenery and Palm trees and Asian paper mache lamps. It was quite crowded, perhaps the most crowded club we saw that night. The music was definitely a mix of good techno, and we took the tour and sipped another free bev. A nice little pad. After about 2:30, it was time for the group to head home, and with the 3 hours of sleep I got Friday night, and all that I got to see tonight, I didn't feel cheated by going home earlier than I usually would. An awesome night! |

After about 3:30, I took off back to the dorms, for a brief break, and then went down to the Globe to catch a reprise with Rick West. It was only $3 to get in, so I was up for it. I got there and ran into John who was there working, and my friend Chris who was gettin his groove on. After waiting what seemed like forever, Rick West finally came on at like 5:30 and I was enjoyin the tunes. He always seems to have so much fun when he spins, and that energy can't help but trickle to the audience. I was gettin dog tired by 7am, and since the sun was coming up, I took that as my cue to jet outta there. Lots of fun tonight though. |

November 8, 2001Thursday - Oi... what a long day. I had to skip all my classes, (including a quiz), because we had this big ass staff meeting at work, and they needed me to coordinate the various department's presentations and other details. It's about 7p now, and I'm tired. I stayed up late last nite just laying in bed. You know... that sort of zoned out annoying sleepless nights that bug the piss out of you? |

November 3, 2001 Saturday - Exam today. I went by after and checked out Chauff's new pool hall. He said it should open this week, so that'll be cool. I also went to the mall and got some shoppin' done... Shoes and what not. As for Saturday night... well... I'll just say it was a disappointment, and leave it at that. |

November 2, 2001Gud Chtrades- What better way to spend a Friday night, (a night before my Saturday noon accounting exam), than to shirk my responsibilities and hang out with pals. I took off after work, (and a lil Taco Bell mind you), and met up with Jeff and Kerry over at Kerry's apartment. I had never been there, so it was a cool opportunity to go check out her pad... Nice digs... Poor Drew was still hurtin' from the appendix removal sit-chu-a-shon... but we managed to wrestle up some fun. We played some PS2 and had some beers and played guitar.... Bout 1 or 2 we ordered a pizza, which I was sure was a good idea at the time. I eventually got home by 4ish.... Amount of studying done = 5 minutes. |

Sunday,
October 28, 2001![]() Mozart Rocks!- I choose not to sleep in today like I normally would, and instead got up and trekked down to the Rialto Theater downtown (Georgia State University's Performing Arts Theater), and went and saw the Mozart Requiem preformed by The Georgia State Symphony and GSU Singers with a church choir as guests. It was actually really cool. For some strange reason, I actually really was in the mood for some symphony and it was odd when my friend Brian, who plays bass in the GSU symphony invited me to come down for their concert. I was glad I went. It hit the spot. After I enjoyed my culture for the day, I rode MARTA back and popped into the Varsity for a Chili-Cheese Burger and a Frosted Orange for the first time of the semester which was nice. I took off shortly afterwards and headed out to Gwinnett where I ran some errands, went to the park, and stopped by the house. After returning to the dorms, I got bored and headed to Innovox to get some studying done. Sometimes it's just nice to get away from the computers and the TV and the distractions at the dorm. At Innovox, there certainly are a number of distractions, but if you choose to, you can plop on some headphones and zone out and find your own little world. It's mighty nice. Today was a good day overall. A definite change of pace, and a good opportunity to get some needed thinking and self-evaluation done. Hopefully these answers will present themselves soon. |

October 20, 2001 Go Jackets! - After last night's sad loss during the Braves game, I was gearing up my hopes for today's homecoming Tech game. Todd (Goat) called me up and invited me to use the extra Tech game ticket that he had, so I quickly suited up and met him over at the stadium across the street. They had sideline seats, and we all helped cheer Tech to victory. Afterwards, I met Todd and his friends for some post-game tailgating at the car. We enjoyed a few bev's and had some good fun. After, Todd dropped me off at the dorms, and I took of for Gwinnett. I hit up Taco Bell then hooked up with some friends and hung at the Lawrenceville house for a little while. After they took off I headed back to Atlanta and checked in on Frankie Bones who was spinning some nastiness up at the Masquerade for the Outerlimits party. I didn't hang out there too long since it was gettin' around 5am. I drove across the street to Innovox and saw my friend Matt for a little bit, and met the friends who he was hanging out with. After some VERY strange conversations, I came back here to the dorm to try and get some sleep. |

October 19, 2001 Baseball Beer - Long week, and a very busy day today at work... But I managed to score some free Braves tickets for the NLCS playoff game tonight so I invited Brian and we headed down after some goofing off at the dorms. We got there and grabbed a beer and pizza and hung out in the picnic area behind the outfield. |

October 13, 2001 Athens Bound - After sleeping late, I got up and ran some errands, then headed in to work to do some Saturday work on my Program Director's computer. It was all messed up, and I wanted to try and get some of the shit straightened out by Monday. After working on that for a while, I decided to head to Athens to hang with my friend Jeff and Sam. I departed rather late, but even though I was tired, the long drive was somewhat therapeutic. Once I got to Athens, I discovered after a bit of waiting, that my friend Jeff, (after a day of drinking) had passed out. So, I headed in to downtown Athens to try and find Sambo. I hooked up with her, and we took the walking tour around downtown Athens and the UGA campus and caught up on old times. The weather was rather perfect, and I was glad for the change of scenery, the change of pace, and the chance to catch up with an old friend. We headed back to her pad and hung out til the early AM when I took off back to Lawrenceville. I definitely didn't know where the day would end when it started, but it all worked out really well, and a good time was had. |

October 12, 2001 Rave: Mirage - Deepsky, Kimball Collins, Baby Anne, George Acosta - Well tonight we went up for some big time fun. Mirage threw a party up at the Tabernacle. After scoring free tickets for me and my friends, I finished up my work at the radio station, grabbed a bite to eat and made a stop at the local liquor store, and bolted back to the dorm to get ready. The Tabernacle is almost within walking distance from the dorms, but we decided it would be best to drive. We drove down and did some pre party beving in the car, and got geared up for the action. Once inside we began to soak up the tunes. The action was happening, and I was feelin great! Kimball Collins was on the decks at this point, and was delivering a great set. I bumped into my friends, and my friend Matt showed up to the party as well, and the fun was really coming together. There was a definite good vibe going around, and I was doing my best to soak up as much of it as possible. After downing a couple beers, and psyching myself up... Deepsky came on. Their live performance blew the place up. I had the pleasure of seeing these guys at my very first rave way back when.... and I always try to see them perform when I get the chance. They didn't disappoint, and I was loving it. They did about an hour set then George Acosta came on. He was awesome of course, and was the absolute perfect way to end the evening. We danced our asses off, and stayed until the very end. What an awesome night, and awesome week for that matter of great tunes. |

October 11, 2001 Rave:
Paul Van Dyk - A very special treat tonight. Mister Paul Van Dyk. This guy is just super talented, and to get to see him live is a real treat. The last time I had the pleasure of seeing him spin was in my dream road trip earlier this year to Ultra3 (the Winter Music
Festival) in Miami. He spun for just over 3 hours and really just delivered
an awesome mind-blowing choice of tunes. It was not typical to have such a large DJ
perform on a Thursday night, but for whatever reason, that was the situation, and luckily I was able to have the circumstances that allowed me to go. It was the perfect end to a perfect day. It was long as hell with class this morning, then work, but... I was able to get this computer project I've been working on for the longest time to finally start doing what I wanted, and that was a real treat. I had a blast. On a side note... at the party, I saw these 3 middle-eastern guys... They were in their 20's and fully dressed in the
headdress, and beards. They appeared to be totally out of place. Had I not gotten the close look, I would have thought someone had just gotten dressed up, but they were for real. I wondered if the
PLUR-like attitude would escape some of the ravers, and that some of these people might give them a hard time, but I didn't see that happen. These guys were there to have a good time, and as I saw one of them liquid dance, I couldn't help but smile and laugh a bit to myself... But I thought, hey, more power to these guys for having the balls to come out and have a good time. |

October 3, 2001![]() Hmm - An interesting day... I finally finished editing the commercial... and after a long day at school, I was beat. I had the usual mixture of work activities going on, and various drama with friends. I decided for a change of pace after work... I suck off and after dropping off my car payment at the bank, I did the Taco Bell drive-thru and went up to my favorite little park for an impromptu picnic under the full moon. The weather was great, and with the skaters at the skate park in the nearby corner of the park, it was all too nice. Afterwards, I went up to Innovox to relax and played on my laptop, sipping on my tall latte surrounded by attractive peoples. Can't go wrong with that. A nice way to find myself after a semi-insane day. |

September 29, 2001 ACC Colas... Wouldn't You Like One Now? - There's nothing like technology mixed with a good alcohol induced buzz... My friends and I filmed a new ACC Colas commercial for lack of anything better to do. I plan to edit it on my laptop over the next few days. Drop me a line in a few days, and I'll show you the finished insanity. |

September 28, 2001![]() Rave: Sandra Collins, AK1200... - Liquified Nation 3 was on the agenda tonight. I went up to the Masquerade after work, and after some traditional pre-party beving in the car, I made my way inside. I was happy with the turnout, but saddened to not see Kazell on who was scheduled to be on when I arrived. I never did find out what happened with that, but apparently he did not show for whatever reason. But, there was more than enough to enjoy there that night. Sandra Collins did a great mix of good stuffs, and Taylor did as well. AK1200 was off the chain with his usual brand of nastiness. The jungle room upstairs was quite crowded for most of the night despite being quite hot. I did spend most of my time downstairs since I've somewhat had my fill of jungle lately. I love it, but the last few parties have been "jungleized", and I wanted a change of pace. I did see several pal's and was able to put some quality hang time in. Good fun. |

September 27, 2001![]() New Haircut Makes My Head Think More - I got a haircut today, and new highlights put in. As the school week winds down, I can finally put my feet up and relax after a long week. Econ exam today, and I got back my wondrous C+ paper in Geog. But, I was able to get my financial aid done, and get a work out in tonight. So it's been a fairly productive day. In fact, I'm doing my laundry right now. But, for some reason, my mind has been in overdrive tonight. I've been going over all these things going on in my life currently. I took a trip up to Innovox earlier, and found myself a comfy couch to sit on and sip my cafe latte, and type some thoughts into my laptop. It was helpful and therapeutic to work through some of these things that way. There are several options on the slate for possible activities this weekend, and I'm not sure quite how this weekend will unfold. It will certainly be interesting to see what happens. |

September 22, 2001 311: Not Quite Coffee Driving Music... But Damn Good - Well today was the last day for busy-ness for the week... kind of convenient seeing as how the weeks over now, but anyhow... After only getting like 3 or 4 hours sleep, I got up and made my way up to the GSU Alpharetta Campus to take my Accounting exam. It is certainly no A, but I think I did better than I had originally expected. After that was said and done, I took off for Lawrenceville where I crash-napped for a few hours before the Saturday night activities kicked off. I somehow woke up from that mess and ran a few errands around town then kicked it back to the dorms in time to get ready to go out for the night.
I went and picked up Brian (the Ga Tech Brian) shortly
afterward, and we made our way down to HiFi Buys Amphitheatre.
We got there right in time to enjoy a brief bev in the VIP lounge, and
make our way to the box seats for the big 311 action. Now, just on a
side-note... and I won't go into the big boring stories, but I can say
that without a doubt, the security (at least that night) that were working,
were complete assholes. The people in the front offices at Lakewood
have always been very cool, but what ever part-timers they had there last night
working security should be quickly escorted out of the building.... Anyhow, on to the good
stuff... 311 came out and rocked hard in classic style. The last
performance I had seen was also at Lakewood earlier this summer for the
Warped Tour, but this was far better. Even though it was only an
hour and a half or so long, it was more like a "real" 311
show. They played all the favorites, and some of the new album as
well. It was a well deserved treat after a long and insane
week. After the show ended, Brian and I headed to Dunwoody to have
coffee and Intermezzo off of Ashford Dunwoody since I had never
been. Along the way, I stopped by the radio station and gave him the
dime tour. Brian and I sat outside with the weather being nice, and
engaged in some lengthy and enjoyable
"cawffee tawk". I drove him back to his dorm and dropped
him off for the night, and came back to my dorm for a brief respite. I knew that Jeff was still spinning up at the
Globe. I promised him I'd drop by if I got back enough in the
morning, so I went down since he had put my name on the guest list.
There was really nobody there, but it was still nice to hear some tunes
and be in that environment with friends. I didn't stay too long as
tiredness was creeping up on me by this time, so I said my goodbyes and returned
to the dorms. A great day, full of action packed-ness, and
quality-time with quality-people. I think I'm a lucky guy sometimes. |

September 22, 2001![]() Rave: Micro - This week has been insane (in the membrane). Quizzes, papers, and work insanity... And the weekend has bigger plans in the works. I have an exam in Accounting tomorrow at noon, but tonite, it was time to let of some steam by catching DJ Micro at the Masquerade. I was lookin forward to seeing Micro, since I missed him the last time he was here because I was in St. Augustine. After work, and a 2 hour accounting study session, I went up to the Masquerade, and did my usual pre-party bev'ing in the car. The crowd was about what I had expected. Not too crowded, but definitely enough people to have a good time. Doc Roc was on when I got in the door, and he was rockin! I never have seen him (that I can recall), but he was throwin it out. Throwin the cross fader with special effects, and all sorts of tricks. I was impressed. Micro came on and threw his set down. I enjoyed his usual blend of tunes. I had to take off about 4:30 when Micro finished. When I got back to the dorm, I did about another hour of studyin, and now it's time to hit the sack... so later! |

September 15, 2001 Tragedy - I cannot begin to express what I feel about the tragedy of yesterday. The worst act of terrorism I've ever known, and certainly the worst in American history. It is surreal... it does seem so unreal that it appears to be a movie... complete with explosive special effects. I cannot yet wrap my mind around the loss. The loss of property, the loss of human life. It is unimaginable. |

September 8, 2001 Jeff's Pad, Athens, and Kazell - Wow... what a friggin night! I went up to Athens tonight to hang at Jeff's pad with him and the crew... (Ian, Nolan, Kerry, Jeff, Tone-loc, Mike, Troy... and several more)... We watched UGA get beat and downed some bev's, then we headed out on foot trudging across campus and through the game-day crowds to ATM (the Athens Music Factory) located in downtown Athens. DJ Kazell was set to spin there along with others, so we were hyped for some pin-ball, bev's and some tunes. And we got just that. I guess most of the crew were gettin tired from drinking all day and they all headed back around 1, but I hung around til it wound down at 2am... They announced an after party that would be held at some local condominium complex's clubhouse. Not being from the area, I was a bit skeptical about being able to find it, but after getting motivated from the friends I bumped into there (Jay, Peter, Peter's friend, Amy, and Scott) I decided to give it a whirl. I picked up my car, which was precariously parked semi-legally, and drove back to Jeff's where I said my good-byes to the remaining awake crew who were sitting around in the dark watching TV for the most part. I got my bag and some crude directions, and headed off... After some "creative" driving, I arrived and what could only be the after party... I paid the $2 cover, and was handed my ticket for the night: a beer cup. I filled her up and jammed out to Nasir who was on the decks. I recognized several people from the party and was feeling right at home, even more so when I saw my friends arrive. We were having a blast, and got our groove on til 6am... After 3 hours on the decks, Nasir was spontaneously relieved by a encore performance from none other than Kazell himself. This was a rather small party... maybe 50-100 people, and it was a small space. It totally had the feeling like you were having these guys over at your house... and we got hyped.... After about 30 minutes, the fine Athens Police arrived and shut down the event. It was about 6:30am, and we all said our goodbyes and made the long drive home... But ending for us, and closing out, a great night. |

September 1, 2001 - My Birthday![]() Birthday Boi - I rang my birthday in with style... by waking up late, and doing nothing! =) Actually, after waking up and being a bum around the dorms for a bit, I headed out back to Gwinnett, and ran errands and eventually met up with Alyssa at the Lawrenceville headquarters. We left from there to Athens to go to our good ole GSU pal - Jeff Peterson's new apartment, for an evening of party happenings. Alyssa and I cruised down 316 listening to a highly cheesable, but somehow enjoyable, A*Teens CD. We got to Jeff's and began to throw back some bev's and chill to some tunes. Jeff and his bro had a good few friends over, and things were pretty hyped. I got up on Jeff's tables, and spun the limited collection I had brought, then delved into Jeff's Electro and Techno collection. After a while, we ventured to the Blind Pig... a bar that is right across the street from Jeff's complex. We drank a few more bev's and played some serious pin-ball action. It was a great birthday. And Thanks to all who called, emailed, and otherwise got in touch with me to wish me a happy birthday! I really have a great group of friends and family. =D |

August 26, 2001![]() Innovox Sunday - Why not? Alyssa and I cruised on up to Innovox again... Is this turnin out to be a weekly tradition? why not... She and I caught up on the various dates and going's-on's in our lives, and sipped on our over priced coffee. We also took some time out up there to play a game of Battleship.. (I sunk her Battleship!)... I also got a chance to meet David's friend Brian who also goes to GSU. He was up there doing some studying and stopped by our couch to say "hi". Hangin' out up there was a nice way to wind the weekend down. |

August 25, 2001 Saturday - Me runnin' security? This sounds odd... but it happened today out at Stone Mountain at the radio station's Z93 BBQ thing... I was workin the gate and guarding the band Ambrosia and Christopher Cross after the show while they signed autographs... Not a bad time out there, and it was fun hangin' with Kara and the crew. I was tired after that was all said
and done though, and by the time I got home at 9p, I stole a little
nap. I had originally planned on going up to the Globe to see Jeff
and John spin, but I was gettin too tired, and didn't really feel
motivated to spend the cash to go up and sit there and be tired.
Instead... I decided to go meet a friend of mine, David. I met him
up at IHOP where he was eatin' some grub with some work pals. We
went back to his pad with his roommate Joey, and watched assorted music
videos and the movie Hackers. Interesting movie by the way, and I
loved the dated computer and cultural references. We had a good time
though, and sat around complaining about relationships and bitching about
things we did and didn't like. Eventually, I was gettin way tired,
so I took off outta there and headed back to the Lawrenceville
headquarters to crash. A cool day & night though. I like
tryin' new things that aren't the usual routine. |

August 24, 2001![]() Friday - Went to work, and ran some errands... nothin particularly special, but I *did* go out with a friend of mine, Brian. We went up and caught some coffee at Innovox and then went out for some quality bowling action. It was good fun, and a refreshing reminder after having not been to the old bowling alley me and the rest of the Z93 "Cool Club" used to haunt. Brian and I had a good time though, and bowled a few games... and strangely my bowling score improved as the night went on and the more Corona I had... I call it the "Corona Curve". I dropped Brian off and went back and did some much needed laundry at the dorms. It was good fun. =) |

August 17, 2001 Rave: Phunckateck Attack @ the Globe - Vinyl Boy threw a good lil party tonite and I had a blast. Me, Ty (who just recently returned from his journeys from the land that time forgot, i.e. Virginia), and Nolan all headed up to the Globe for some tunes and to see our friends Jeff and John spin (Invisible & DJ After). The turnout was a bit better than I had expected, being the night after Dieselboy, and being a mostly a jungle party... But we were wasted and havin' a good ole time. Jeff's bros Ed, and Mike were in attendance, and overall it was a great time to hang with some pals and kick back to some tunes. |

August 17, 2001 Rave: Dieselboy @ Lorettas - Good turnout for Dieselboy and Simply Jeff as they put out the tunes up at Club NV (Lorettas). I was canned, thanks to just moving back in to the dorms right around the corner. I was a bit on jungle overload, but I had a great time. |

August 16, 2001Nerds nerdy? No - What is it about this crazy candy that we love so? Why do it's delicious flavors combine to make a crazy mouth party? Will we ever have the answers? It's not likely... for the people at Nestle, makers of this candy concoction, endeavor to make sure we never discover the "true" secrets behind the candy insanity. Certainly it must be more than sugar, dextrose, and about 25 FDA approved varieties of food coloring... well yes, there are about 10 more ingredients i skipped... but that's not the point... Wait, what "is" the point? I can't seem to recall now. Maybe some Nerds will help me remember. |

August 11, 2001![]() Rave: Abduction @ Globe - I hadn't initially intended on going tonite, but things worked out and fate sent my throwing on my UFO's and gearing up at midnight so that I could get down to the Globe in time to see Starboy. I had seen him spin at the Globe back in July, and ever since he had hooked me up with one of his demo CD's, I've had it playing on continuous in some form
of fashion. I was hyped, and there was a damn good crowd in
attendance. Sadly, that also meant that there was a line... the
longest I've ever seen at the Globe in fact. But, within a reasonable
amount of time, I was in and gettin' on my groove. It was hot as hell in
there, but the vibe was great, and the people that were up front
dancing around where I was were all about it and having a great
time. It went on like that till Starboy went off, when I
grabbed myself a free BT 12" vinyl, and a CD single
off Crystal Method's new album. Sweet! It was a good time, and
yet again, a different set of peeps in attendance. I did bump into
several friends though (Chris, John...)
...and met some new ones to boot. =) (pics by tonalgroove) |

August 10, 2001 Rave: Playhouse ReOpening @ Globe - Well it finally re-opened. The Playhouse is back, and this time, it's at the Globe. After some renovations and improvements to the venue, they opened the doors to a pretty hyped crowd. The capacity was about par for a "typical" non-huge-headlining event at the Globe, but a bit less than I had anticipated. Nevertheless, everyone who was there seemed to be in good spirits. This wasn't the typical Globe crowd, in fact, there were many of the Market/Masquerade Vinyl Boy crowd members in attendance. I bumped into several friends, including Peter, and Jay. It was cool to see them once again and catch up on the latest. I was able to catch (and later get signed) what has turned out to be an AWESOME promo continuous mix CD from DJ Paul Santana! Mad props :o) ... I also enjoyed my friend John (DJ After), as he spun his Goa/Techno. The new and improved venue has a lot of added features, and I'm excited to see how the changes hold up and what else might be in store. It was a good time though, and the free parking always rocks. Re-entry was $2, instead of the typical free or $1 charge that Globe events normally have, but having been used to NO re-entry at past Vinyl Boy events, the $2 was very welcomed. I had a great time, and it was awesome to find my groove after being out of town and what-not the past few weekends! |

Holiday Time - Well I'm up here at the radio station, getting ready to leave to begin some chillin out days. Some serious feasting will be going on tomorrow out in L'ville at 2, and then it's pleeeenty of laziness on the agenda. I'll be on-air late tomorrow night/Friday morning. Should be interesting, since I won't be there.... but listen in anyhow beginning at midnight Thanksgiving night. =) laters... |

| Monday, November 20, 2000 Thingies - Another freeaaakin Monday. Kind of a cold brisk Monday to boot. I went to Flim class today where I struggled to stay awake during our screenings of various French films from like the... 1950s.... Then I came back and scarfed down some Wendy's for lunch. After catching up on today's election recount sideshow on CNN, I went in to the radio station for our weekly Manager's Meeting. It was a pretty busy day at work, and on top of that, after work Steve and I had to study for our Math exam tomorrow. That's gonna blow somethin serious. But, after that's behind me, I'll be done with school for the week. (I smell lots of sleepin.)... speaking of which, I should grab some now |

| Friday, November 17, 2000 Rave: Paul Oakenfold - All the ravers of the world, unite! Jaded ravers, non-jaded ravers, gays, straights, bis, old, and young... they all came out to party tonight! A mucho sold out show at the North Atlanta Trade Center tonight made for some serious jamming. Paul Oakenfold, debatably the top rated Trace DJ in the world, came and played to a hyped crew of people that got together to seriously throw down to his tunez. And they did!... Ton's of fun as some friends and I descended onto the venue on a bitterly cold night at around 10:30p. The line wasn't too long (luckily for us), and after having the insides of my shoes inspected by the door security, we were in. We roamed around and surveyed then split up for a while to find our prospective homes. I bumped into SO many familiar faces along the way. I found my home near a light pole and threw down for most of the night. I roamed around off and on, stopping to have conversations with other friends and familiar faces that showed up. By night's end we had been there for a while and definitely put in our time. We only left when the music stopped, and by then, we were ready for a bed. It was a great night, and a special treat to have been able to see a man so talented, and who has not even visited Atlanta in over 2 years. I don't know when he'll make it back to Atlanta, but this night was definitely a night to remember. Rave on people! =) |

| Saturday, November 11, 2000 Rave: Bad Boy Bill - Woke up late and ran some errands with my friend Michael. Then we sat on our ass and play PlayStation for a good part of the night. Then it came time to hit the Masquerade for a party. Bad Boy Bill, DJ Funk, and others were up there sendin out some phat tunes. I drove up and joined some of my friends (Ty, Ian, Nolan) and met some new ones (Andrew, and others but i suck at remembering names). Anyhow, I drifted from room to room and due to the nature of my pre-party bev I was flyin pretty good. It sucked that Ty and Andrew couldn't get back in... (something about re-entry and security) ... but I had a good time and enjoyed the tunes well into the 6am hour. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Friday, November 3, 2000 Rave: Aphrodite - A sobering day after waking up from last night's bev' enjoyment. But I made it into work and put in a good effort there... Then I decided to go get my sore throat checked out at the doctor's office... So I cruised over to Gwinnett and did that deed... got some free med's... went to L'ville to get my mail... did Taco Bell (of course) then came back to the dorm to get ready for Aphrodite. While waiting on my laundry to finish, Ty dropped a line and asked for a ride to the party. So he and I cruised up to the Masquerade, and after a parking sideshow, and some pre-party bev enjoyment, we got in. The place was pretty packed and there were beats comin from all over. After surveying, I decided that the best scene was upstairs, where the heat and massive amounts of groovin bodies were. So I camped myself in there for a good deal of the night, groovin to Aphrodite's beats, and mingling around the room. It was plenty of fun and by 5:45a Ty and I had our fun, so we bailed on the last 15 minutes, and went to Kroger for some post party Krogering. We got our goods and headed back to our prospective places. It was a good night I'd say. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thursday, November 2, 2000 - pm Night Time @ Jeff's - Bev's Bev's Bev's... They were there... and therefore, they had to be consumed. We did our part in that by enjoying some group sex (didn't actually happen) and quality time at Jeff's. It was Tony's birthday so the "cool" people (i.e. - those who decided not to bail), hooked up and went over to watch tv, attempt to play poker, and do pleeeenty of smoking. (do these people like their cigarettes?)... It seemed like most everyone had to wake up for a test the next day (good planning), so we ended it early (3am). |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thursday, November 2, 2000 - 2:21 am Lazy Day... Bout Time - Today I'm still in awe of my 311 experience from last night. It seems surreal that I actually got to meet the band... Anyhow, I slept late today to recover from the show, and from the 4 hours I've been sleeping per night for the last couple of days. When I got up, Jeff and I went up to Little 5, and stopped in at Wax and Facts, and Satellite Records. We headed back after I picked up some tite 311 stickers, an Aphrodite CD, and some Okenfold tickets. I was hungry, and since today was an out of the norm kind of day, I wanted to eat somewhere not-usual. So, I went over to Georgia Tech with Alyssa and we chowed down at their dinning hall. (just another of my attempts to leech off of GT's resources)... After pissing Alyssa off over something(?), she headed back to the dorms, and I decided to take a walk about around GT's campus. I got over to the center of campus where the GT spire is. They had a cool fountain and it was a nice place to sit and ponder... so.. I did. A couple of dudes were nearby strumming and singing on their acoustic guitars, and with the weather, and fountain and whatnot, it was a good place and time for thinking. I got a couple thoughts in and chilled for awhile before trekking back to the dorms. All in all, not a hell of a lot happened today, which I 'spose in the end, is fine by me. |

| Wednesday, November 1, 2000 -
4:20 am! 311 !!! - Well I haven't been back here at the dorm that long. I think I walked in the door at 3 am... from the very kick assiest 311 show! I had a chance to meet and talk with the band!!! Here's the novel of my 311 Halloween Night: The night started with Alyssa and I goin down and gettin the tix and then hookin up with my friend Chris and some of his friends inside the Tabernacle. We all stood around drinkin and chillin' for a while, but Chris had to jet for some reason... but both his friends and I are still baffled as to his whereabouts. Nevertheless, Zebrahead busted on to the stage all dressed up like Limp Bizkit. Zebrahead was damn good, and really played into the crowd and had everyone into it. After Zebrahead finished I worked my way through the crowd up to the front next to the stage... It was tight as hell and oven hot... But I was determined to get up in there like I did last Halloween for 311... However, once 311 came on stage, that scene got nasty... I missed watching much of any of the first 3 songs 'cause I was busy trying to push people off me and keep from falling down from the swaying masses of people... Since I was there to see the show, I decided to bail on the stage side action, and pulled out. (safety first).... After getting some H2O and regrouping, I headed in again but this time stayed about halfway down on the Tabernacle main floor. That spot worked out for me. Good view, crowded, but not too crowded... Good vibe... 311 came out decked out in costume... Nick came out as Superman (with the band playing the REM remake "Superman"). 311 threw down some kick butt tunes and generally had it going on. The played some new tunes, and a few cuts that they don't play often. After the show I bought a tour shirt and went outside and socialized. I looked for Alyssa since we were separated inside, but another friend said she had left... So, I made my way around to the back to watch the band come out to their tour bus... After a good wait, P-Nut came out and worked his way signing autographs and chatting... He was real cool and real social... He had some cool shit to say: He said the band is going into the studio as soon as they get back, and said they want to get the new album out hopefully around May, but the impending legal problem with their label will need to be resolved first. He signed my t-shirt as well... Chad Sexton came through signed the shirt... SA Martinez came through signed the big T... then... after a lil bit, Nick Hexum came out, and he spent some good time chattin and signing... I got to shake his hand and ask him about the sound of the new tunes, and he said that the first set of the tunes they have are like they ones they played tonite, but he said the 2nd half of the tunes they are collecting for the new album will be louder, faster, and heavier... (he came out a couple more times before nights end and I had a chance to talk with him a couple more times... a very cool down to earth guy)... after a long ass wait, Tim Mahoney came out and signed stuff and talked to the remaining fans... He was also real cool and personable (and probably baked)... he signed the Tshirt of course and that ended my objective for the night... By this time it was like 230 am... I had to walk back to the dorms from the Tabernacle since MARTA shuts down at 1a... Walking Techwood at 3am is NOT something I recommend for the kiddies, but for this night, it was worth it... That about sum's up my 311 night... A definite dream to meet and really feel like I chilled out with the band... It was awesome to be able to ask them questions and shake their hands. Good tunes. Good night. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! |

| Tuesday, October 31, 2000 Happy Halloween!! 311 !!! - Preparations are underway to get ready to go to the show. I knew something big was gearing up when I woke up from my nap after class with 10 missed calls, and 9 voicemails. Right now I'm just trying to work out what I need to do and when... more details later |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sunday, October 29, 2000 Studying? Again?!! - I didn't do much today... (I don't say that often ... note sarcasm)... I woke up late and then cleaned the fizuck out of my car. I couldn't believe that Honda could actually hold THAT MUCH trash. I'm sort of impressed... After that mess, I helped my step-dad with his computer and then met some friends for some Sunday night Taco-Bell. Now... it's time to see what this "film" sideshow is all about... First exam for my film class this semester is tomorrow, so I guess I should go study for that. eh? Indeed... (raises arms like Superman, and flies away. fade to black) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Saturday, October 28, 2000 Movies Anyone? - Slept late as all today... But well worth it... Got up and eventually stumbled back to Gwinnett to begin my Saturday night. I had decided when I woke up that I wanted to go see that new movie Pay It Forward. So... I did. I met my brother Chris up at the AMC and we enjoyed a damn good movie. If you want a good movie to see, then consider this it... After that was said and done, I headed down to spend some "Q" time with my buddy Chauffeur (Michael) at his pool hall Lucky Breaks. I ended up staying there till like 5 am (and that's WITH the time change of falling back an hour). Some friendly competition had broken out between some of the regulars and so it got interesting to watch and socialize. Then... I went home, and swiftly to bed. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Friday, October 27, 2000 Rave - After a HELLISH day at the "Z", I finally left work and stumbled in and almost went to bed, but of course it was too early (1am), so... I slipped on my rave pants and headed out to the Globe for whatever it was they had going on that night. I had fun taking in the sights. Even though there wasn't much of a crowd to speak of, the tunes were loud enough to drown out me from noticing too much. It was good though, and a definite stress relief, which was much needed. Also met a couple people and what-not. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thursday, October 26, 2000 Done Deed - Well that test is done, and the fact that it didn't piss me off while I was taking it might be a good sign. Time will tell... Went and had dinner with the fam' out at Macaroni Grill to celebrate Todd's birthday... good action. In other news, I test drove a 99 Honda Prelude today. I'm SO ready to get a new ride. I'm trying to get some plans in the works to make it happen. We'll see. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wednesday, October 25, 2000 - 8:24 pm Sideshow - This sideshow where teachers have this bad habit of continuing to give me exams is getting old. Don't they know that I DON'T LIKE THEM? I've got to go study for a Philosophy exam, so keep it real (whatever that means.) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sunday, October 22, 2000 Thoughts - Today I slept awfully late... It was a strange night last night, and well... I didn't get out of bed till late afternoon. Nevertheless, I tried to make the most of the day by cleaning my room and making a vain attempt to be semi-productive before the weekend came to a close. After my deeds were done in Lawrenceville, I began my trek back to the dorms. It was on the drive back that I came upon stand still traffic on I-85, near North Druid Hills. It was around 11 pm, and I reserved myself that I was in for the long haul. I put my car park and chilled out. I assumed it was a car accident, and around an hour later, once traffic began to inch forward, I found out for sure... They still had only one lane on the far right of the expressway open, and from the scattered bits and pieces, it was hard to tell what exactly had happened. One thing however, stood out from the rest of the imagery. A large unattended mass sat in the middle of the 3rd lane, lit from large floodlights on the nearby emergency vehicles. As police and emergency workers walked around surveying the scene and taking photographs, I edged closer, passing by. It was then that I saw the blood stained white sheet covering completely what could only be a victim of a quite serious car accident. Without a moment more to think, my car was passed the scene, and with only one lane of traffic open, I quickly found my car alone on the large interstate. It gave me time for solemn thought. I rarely tone down to a serious level on here, and I generally try to stay positive, and continue that positive flow that I get from others. But I cannot ignore the thoughts of how quickly life as we know it can end. Thoughts like: Certainly that person had a family and friends who must now endure a hell of remorse and sorrow. And all that laid before that person to do in life is gone. There is no moral to my story, and no point that I intend to convey. Only the thought that it is unfortunate that such significant introspection on life can only come from the observation of the harsh and real mortality of others. We can only live on, and continue to keep the positivity alive. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Saturday, October 21, 2000 Boo - I got so scared I pee'd my pants!... OK well not really... I went down to Netherworld Haunted House tonight. I got the free hookup at work, and so some friends and I went down for some of that typical Halloween themed mayhem. After that was all said and done, it was time to drink (of course, duh). We had some fun playing PlayStation, and watching a tape full of Simpsons episodes till all hours of the morning. (an excellent combo if you are ever bored.) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Friday, October 20, 2000 Rave: Suspended In Space - Went down to the Globe and checked out Hardware and others spin at "Suspended In Space". Good tunes, and not a bad venue made for a refreshing way to spend Friday night. The sound system was very if'y. The audio kept popping in the outdoor Jungle area, and inside, the audio on Hardware's set just dropped out a few times for no reason. Other then those small sideshows, I had a good time. It was cool bumping into my friend AJ from Film class. That bastard, and his other friends, managed to scam their way in for free by helping the promoter/venue setup some of the gear. Not a bad deal. Good tunes, scamy audio, good time. |

| Thursday, October 19, 2000 - 8:29 am Asymptote "This" - Calculus test today... Ok, I'm going to go eat biscuits at the Wendy's downstairs. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wednesday, October 18, 2000 - 1:10 am Just hangin' - Presidential Debate=yawn factory.... But PlayStation action=funville... Jeff and I did some game action and tossed back some bev's.... Not much else going on that's worth mentioning here... Work has been a sideshow with our new digital system installation going on, and school has had it's own deeds... I guess that's it... By the way, sourdough bread=good. =) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Monday, October 9, 2000 - 5:14 pm Cable TV - Prompted by the viewing of Ty's hot dance video, I thought I'd post my own limited mental abilities by uploading my parody TV commercial... Click here to download (big download - approx 7 megs.) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sunday, October 8, 2000 - 11:26 pm Gulch?! - It's that time... Sunday night when all the little kids get ready to start another week of scholastic excellence. (some restrictions apply)... I went over to Jeff's tonight where we hung with Kerry, Ty, and Tony. We worked diligently to not get anything productive done other than watch the Simpsons and drink beer, which of course we did rather well. After some techy talk about music, and keyboards, and sequencers, we adjourned. Now I'm waiting for my laundry to dry... By the way, did I mention that it's nippley cold outside? Does anyone want to talk about it?... If so, email me! (even if you don't want to talk about it.) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Monday, October 2, 2000 - 2:40 am Nippin' Out? - Dirty Dancing was the flic, and "nippin' out" was the new word. The gathering commenced at Kerry's pad with some brisk abuse of Dirty Dancing and Halloween costume's. Apparently I'm either a fireman or Barney Rubble. Anyhow, the night was more education as I learned the meaning of "nippin' out". Which is the result of nipple + coldness. I had also had never heard of the "band-aid trick". Band Aid should have that listed on the outside of the box as a possible use. I'm bettin they'd sell more... |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Sunday, October 1, 2000 I Did What To Who?' - Well Liquified Universe was a blast last night. My friend Jeremiah and I went up around and got in the door around 1am. The venue (North Atlanta Trade Center) was definitely living large. There were several rooms there to go and explore and chill in. The tunes were big. When we got there Josh Wink had just gone on and was goin nutz. Digweed came on around 3am and rocked hard for what seemed like forever. There were tons of people at this place, and I think I saw everyone I've seen at previous parties all packed in there. Without getting into a lot of yawn-inducing detail, I will sum it up and say that it was "good action", worth the price of admission. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Saturday, September 30, 2000 Ravin' - Gone to Liquified Universe... more details later. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Friday, September 29, 2000 Rave - I went ravin' again... Big surprise? Nah... Anyhow, I checked out the action at the Masquerade tonight. Analog Pussy, DJ 43, and DJ Keri all did good sets. Analog Pussy was a nice change of pace since there was actual "performance" going on instead of just plain spinning. And DJ Keri was gettin a serious groove on while singing and spinning. I did get to see some dancer's nipple by the nights end, so I guess I will say it was a good deal. (?) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thursday,
September 28, 2000 "The Who"? - Free tickets and free time meant good action for Alyssa, Jeff, Matt, and myself. We took in the Who concert tonight at Philips Arena. Good tunes and fun made for a memorable evening. Pete Townsend did a sweet acoustic guitar solo number that I couldn't tell you much about because of my limited breadth of classic rock knowledge. (bows head in shame).. After it was all said and done though, we enjoyed some quality chill time in the ACC HQ here at the dorms. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wednesday,
September 27, 2000 Tuesday Wrap-up - Well the day was an early start... and what a brisk one. A chilly 50-something outside greeted me when I met Jeff and Kerry at the gate of the Village to make the long journey to campus. I hafta say that I am enjoying this fall weather though. "It's good action." Anyhew, class today produced the fruit of my labors on two exams that I took last week. "B" and a "C" in Calculus and Philosophy respectively. Not "too" shabby as my expectations were somewhat less than the end result. God love the use of the "curve". Onward to work where the radio station buzzed with a pretty busy pace of work... And after a visit from my buddy Cordes, I took off and had dinner with my friend Jeremiah. It took a while for us to figure out where the hell we wanted to go, and after almost giving up and heading to Taco Bell, we hit Rio Bravo instead. We had a feast and chit some good chat, and complained about women, work, and life -- productive stuff. The night ended not too far after and that brings us to here. So hi!... Welcome to "here"!... um, I'm going to bed now... heh, nite. |

September 24, 2000 Weekend Wrap-up Goa - Mother Nature decided it would be best for us to do the Camp Fatty Campout another day, so we're rescheduling the Goa-fun-in-the-woods. Keep checking back here, but for now we are looking to give it another go on October 7th. Stay tuned in. Click here for the flier. Friday Night - This day was a haze. Started out somewhat inebriated, and ended with me babysitting a friend. Craziness. Saturday Night: Rave: Sonic Equinox - The Atrium played host to Sonic Equinox on Saturday night. I enjoyed hearing Sandra Collins, and Joshua Ryan spin some good trance, and thought Odi did some very cool jungle. Quite a turnout too. This one was much more crowded than Mirage was, most likely because of Sandra Collins being a name. I know that when I left at 4 am, there was still quite a line. One complaint is that the jungle room is too fucking hot. They need to figure out what the deal is on that action though. Even with that, it was still a good time, and worth going. Saturday Night continued... - I left Sonic Equinox at 4 am to meet up with my friend at Backstreets. This place was wild as usual, and just got more crowded the later it got despite the fact that it was already 4am! After hanging out with a couple friends there, I eventually decided that 8 am would be late enough, and I headed back to the dorm to crash, only after getting some Wendy's breakfast action downstairs of course going. Sunday - After my body decided that 5 pm would be a good time to wake up, I got up and proceeded to head back to Lawrenceville to pick up various items from my house, and to just get out of the freaking dorm for a while. When I stopped in at the convenient, and always tasty Taco Bell, I was approached by some kind strangers who asked if I liked 311... Well needless to say, we began to chit-the-chat on 311, and hung out in the parking lot to burn through some thoughts and memories. All I know is Chris has it goin' on, and I hope that stranger drops me a line sometime soon. That dude is my kinda people. |

September 19, 2000 Today - I'm fealin' worn down. Steve and I stayed up late last night cramin' for the Calculus test that I just took. I have no idea how I did, and I dare not speculate, because every time I think I did well, I did shitty, and anytime I think I did shitty... well I did shitty... but not always!... Therefore, if we take the derivative of that... oh wait.. Damnit! |

September 17, 2000 Thoughts... - Weather is still kickin' ass outside, and after getin' some good skating in and various errands this weekend, I guess it's time to hit the rat race. What a sideshow. Still making changes to the website, and have completed the move over to the new home at www.adamcaskey.com. We'll see how well this works out... This is settin' up to be a busy week already though, and somehow we're gonna hafta squeeze cheese some fun into this thing. |

| Friday,
September 15, 2000 Hmmm... - It's a rare night, and I have the window open cause the weather happens to be kicking ass... I'm looking out the window and I can't decide if someone in a room across the way has a poster of Jim Morrison, or David Hasselhoff hanging up. I guess since I can't tell for sure, it's up for interpretation right?... I mean... yea, yea, I'm just going to go with that. Yea, I think that. Rave: Taylor - Went to see Taylor spin at the Masquerade, regardless of the fact that we had men down every-freakin-where!... Jeff Peterson got ill, Ty bailed, and Mikey Peterson was there, but I never found him... nevertheless it was a good party. I was in primo form as usual, and I enjoyed the massive tunes. It's real easy now to pick out the same people who come to every party. Where do they come from, and what is their story? |

11, 2000 Thoughts... - Woke up today feeling like my positivity had been recharged. I'm hoping that this will lead to some good things this week. Other than that, it's the typical rat race, but as usual, one endeavors to put their unique and special spin on it. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Saturday, September 9, 2000 Rave: Mirage - Busy rave tonight. Good turn out and good tunes here. Not much else to say on this one though, hehe. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Friday, September 8, 2000 Rave: 'Til Dawn - Good rave. I had looked forward to checkin this party out for a while. A friend of mine had turned me on to DJ Baby Anne, and this was my first chance to see her spin live. I also got some grins from hearing AK 1200 go at it. The special treat was dancin with Baby Anne during AK's set. =) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Saturday, September 2, 2000 Rave: Outerlimits - Yet another rave down at the Masquerade this weekend, this after being moved from its original venue, SciTrek. The event wasn't as big as last weekend's Purple Haze, but it was great all the same. DJ Sandy, PM Dawn, Scott Henry, and Mickey Finn were some of the notable appearances that spun a great set. The vibe was kickin and the people were positive. Good wholesome fun ;-) |

| Friday, September 1, 2000 My Birthday - My big day busted out with big results. Close friends and Z93 DJ's Kaedy Kiely and Dave Marino took me out to eat and then arranged a big 'ole bowling throw down with several of our other friends.

| Sunday, August 27, 2000 Rave: Purple Haze - Checked out the rave Purple Haze with some kickin results. It was my first time seeing a rave at the Masquerade, and I was impressed... Better than I thought it would be. All the ingredients for a good rave were present last night and DJ Icey was awesome. It was also a tite thrill to see my friend Jeff, aka DJ Invisible spinin' last nite. He threw down a rockin' Goa set. Way to go Jeff! |
