damn it...I don't know how I did it but I just lost another post. I think I was signed in with a partially saved post on my other computer and when I got to publish point I forgot...The estrip page just says that I sent the server a bad message...I don't know.. I guess thats what I get for toggling between 2 computers..

It's too late to rewrite it, maybe tomorrow.

love, MrDT

I have officially decided that my search for naked pictures of Bea Arthur must end soon. It is an obsession that will consume me worse than body building or school. but anyway, for some of you, enjoy the classic nude painting and the rest of you can, well, kiss my ass.

So I'm totally fuckin psyched to see Tiesto tomorrow:



Only it's actually at The Docks Nightclub!!!

Link: Picture This!!!
Enjoy the Tiesto Remix of Delerium' Silence w/Sarah McLaughlin. If I hear it tomorrow I'll probably pee my pants because I'll get tired of waiting to use the restroom and need to dance.


Love it, MrDT

and this song cemented my passion for the virtuoso music programmer. it brings me to my roots and when I listen to it sometimes I start to get that cold shiver, which was often a side effect from opiates I would have experimented with. my eyes are going do-do-do-do-do-do-do...left to right and do-do-do-do-do-do-do again.

well anyway I got to go downtown and meet my friend Dro...


alots been goin in but I just don't feel like sharing these days...


maybe tomorrow, lOve MrDT

This is the remix that pretty much changed my life and shifted my music taste to the electronic. The Drum and Bass version of this tune was played at so many memorable parties...

Don't forget this weekend two of the best dj's in the world will be in Toronto. Rave on..

Love, MrDT

what's up fellow terd burglars???

I saw this shitty ass action movie tonight. It was a corporate flick and had all the predictable outcomes.... I don't know what I was thinking but my brother liked it so I guess it has some value watered down or not.

And this got me thinking about my favorite movies and why they aren't the best but still my favorite:

1. Ferris Bueller's Day Off
2. Raging Bull
3. Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
4. Pumping Iron
5. Fight Club

Alternates: Moulin Rouge, or possible Woody Allen flick.

Holy fuck I'm ripped....

DT Tip #4 don't rely on someone else for getting dates of major industry shows correct, always check and re-check....

fuck it, love, MrDT

OK kids, I'm off to Chitown for the NRA show. Now before you all jump on me for being invoved with such an organization let me tell you that it is not the gun totting, card carrying organization that you are thinking. It's actually my trade organization, the National Restaurant Association. Let's hope the weather is nice this weekend, but just incase I've packed my rain slicker

Got a new suit too, a taupe window pain with light orangish lines. It was kinda cheap but I keep on growing out of these things so I opted for something that fits me now. Both the suits I purchased in September are too small now. I'm up to like 205#'s plus, which is kinda making me a little sad to be this heavy. Even though 5 of those pounds are extra muscle glycogen/fluid and water retention from the creatine it still has a small effect on my self esteem. But summers comin and after the BFL challenge I'll let out my old suits and take in the new one.

I've got reservations at Charlie Trotter's, who touts the world's best wine list, tonight and tomorrow dinner with Mike Andrzejewski, owner/chef of Tsunami, for a special chefs only night at Moto, Chicago's best asian restaurant. Should be some interseting culinary adventures here. Not-to-mention Jen's gonna pick up the Trotter's tab and the meal at Moto is comped!!! I'll be staying at the Hard Rock Hotel so I think I'm in for a rockin weekend.

Well, my plain leaves in an hour so I'd better go.

Love you, MrDT

Finally done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a quick post today my mind is fuckin fried. I don't know if you'll can tell but I'm having big time difficulties gettin my points across. Props to (e:jenks) for being able to work those kinds of hours and stay coherent, still scares the crap out of me.

I'm on my way to pick up some sticky-icky-icky. As promised I'll throw it down for the hookah to celebrate the end of the semester for the grad/post grad students. but I have this feeling that my likeability percentage is way down right now. Oh well, can't win 'um all.

Let me say, though, you're all invited to come over, kickback, relax and give bubbles a test run. You deserve it!!! You work hard!!!

So I'm going to leave you with a quote from Pablo Picasso to ponder:
I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.

And a quote from my new user sound:
"Stay far from timid, only make moves when your hearts in it, and live the phrase - The Sky's the Limit. MothaFucka."

Love from da clouds, MrDT

This semester is alomst over...one more day, one more final. My finance exam is at 9:00 tomorrow so I'm sure I'm going to dream that I overslept and missed it. If I don't get a good grade on it I'll fail the class. I feel like I'm well prepared for it but that's the same way I felt about the last one. ANd I bombed the last one when I couldn't attempt the capital budgeting problem. Luckily so did half the class and tomorrows exam will have another problem that will allow me to make every point I missed...cool teacher!!! The exams are open book but he asked a question that was completely off the charts and I strucutred my notes based on the answers that he posted on Blackboard. This time, unlike last time, I've gone through each and every problem analyzed them from every angle and attempted most twice. The only thing is I had the answers in front of me and used them to get through each problem instead of critically thinking my way through them. Fuckin' shortcuts. Normally I don't take 'em but even for me this stuff is pretty complicated. I didn't want this to get to the point where I say, "hey, I'll never use this stuff again," because these are the fundamentals of making money. It's easy to put a product out there and sell it but it takes finance to remove some of the guess work out of things like should I take on this product or should I take on that project. Hopefully, with practice I'll understand the ins and outs a little better.

But anyway, I'm injured. I think I pulled a groin muscle this morning moving gravel around my driveway and then i went to the gym for a leg workout making things even worse. It's not superbad but I hope it heals quick cause my rollerblades and bicycles have been calling my name. I just won't be able to hit my lowerbody next week. Come to think of it, abs might be out too and I just started working them three times a week again. Not sure how cut I'll be by the time summer comes but I'm gettin my act together for another $100,000 Body for Life challenge and possibly the Men's Health Abs diet thing. I love the fact that by making body transformations I can enter contests and win stuff. But i'm gonna start in a couple of weeks so if anyone wants to get with me on it privately or publicly, let me know. Soon I'll post some goals for the twelve weeks along with unhealthy habits I need to modify and replace with healthy patterns.

But anyway pray for me that I'll ace my finance final so I can take home 4 A's this semester.

Love you, MrDT

So I'm watchin this movie that I ordered through Showtime on Demand and like half way through it took a shit. I hate it when this happens and now I have some video error. what the fuck, like $170 a month for cable/internet isn't enough for good service. (Sorry to bitch but this movie was just gettin good and I tried like 10 times to get it back on).

But anyway the movie, which was The Assassination of Nixon with Sean Penn, got me thinking about some of the books I have on my reference shelf. It's funny some people have dictionaries and thesauruses on their reference shelf but I have books that have helped me to become a better individual in my personal and professional life. I'm looking at books like Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Persig, Norman Peale's Power of positive thinking, Dale Carnegie's How to Stop Worrying and Start Living and the Guide to Vitality and Wellness, among others. Even though all the books are completely different they have one common theme in mind. They all come down to the fact that life begins in your mind and through the power of thought you have the ability to control your outlook on yourself and life. "I think therefore I am," the old saying may offer a different metaphysical meaning but for me it means that if I believe in myself I will achieve. It all comes down to the way I look at something. If I'm feeling negative then I participate in negative behavior that will bring upon negative consequences and vice versa with the positive. The other day I kinda felt like shit but I told myself I was gonna crush the weight at the gym and wouldn't ya know it, I had one of the best leg workouts ever. (I still can't walk after a week!!!) But it goes to show you that you have to unlock your true potential by having faith in your abilities to do well. Otherwise your mind will hold you back and prevent you from succeeding.

Believe in yourself and anything is possible. Things you aren't so good at become easier. You'll find solutions to problems that have been bugging you for years. The answers you seek are all inside of you and no one can help you find them better than yourself. Just start chipping away at it a little at a time. And when all else fails try to reframe. I've been told that I'm a natural at this but really it's not so hard. You just need to step back for a sec and look at the problem in a different way with a more positive mind set. The answers there but you won't find it all pissed off and frustrated, you just have to let it flow and let yourself go...low and slow that is the tempo

I love you all dearly and I'm here if you need me, MrDT

oh yeah, and now I'm gonna watch tonights episode of the Simpsons and go to bed.

Damn it's late...quick post then I'm hittin the sack. I just finished my last paper for this semester. That means all I have to do is go to class tomorrow hand in my stuff then study for my finance final on Thursday with Kevin Downey, the star of Canisius baketball team. Kinda funny that we are helpin each other understand capital budgeting and the weighted average cost of capital. For a jock, he's a pretty smart guy not to mention extremely good hearted.

I think I have a kinda date this Friday for the masters of business alumni association cocktail party and awards ceremony, which is so cool. at first I was trying to get the whole non-date thing going but I'm picking her up before the reception then going to dinner afterwards so I guess it's a non-date date. I haven't done this since last year when I got all dressed up for the nutcracker with Jen who is now in DC.

I was wondering though, given that it is spring should I give her a gardenia pendent/corsage thingy to wear on her dress?? What do you think??? This is the kind of thing I do... one of my best moves. I don't know.

Love ya, MrDT

And enjoy the gangsta rap all week..I'm in one fo those moods.
