It's Times Like These You Learn to Love
I'm not a hater. I think there is a lot of built up rage on this site and people just unleash it where ever they feel necessary. There are quite a few nice people on this site and it's too bad that this negativity has to effect everyone. I guess that's my fault for takin this public, but I didn't understand why somebody who didn't know me would write me such a nasty post-it. Then I realized that putting your opinions and feelings out there is controversial and that it is only natural for some people to be afraid of what they don't understand. This creates hate and resentment.

It's times like these that I think about that scene in Scarface where Tony Montana bitches out his girl for being so fucked up all the time then stands up and starts yelling at the clientele going into this unforgetable monlogue (here I go again):

What you lookin at?
You all a bunch of fucking assholes.
You know why?
You ain't got the guts to bo what you want to be.
You need people like me so you can point your fucking fingers and say, "That's the bad guy."
So...what that make you? Good?
No, you're not good.
You just know how to hide and how to lie.
Me, I don't have that problem.
Me, I always tell the truth.
Even when I lie.
So say goodnight to the bad guy!
Come on. Make way for the bad guy.
There's a bad guy comin through!!
Betta get out of his way!

Oh and one more thing, I used to get picked on in junior high untill the day I got sick of it and pounded the fuck out of the biggest bully in the school (someone who was half a foot taller plus 25 pounds). Since then I don't take shit from anyone.

What a load of shit that is. it seems everytime my manhood is attacked I have the need to squash it by any means necessary. but what I really need to learn is how to turn the other the cheek and seek the higher moral ground.

I guess we just need more love and understanding in the world from everyone starting with me. I'm done, I'm through, here's the other cheek. I've read your journals and responses, think what you will.

I still love you, MrDT


and i'm truely sorry for the negativity that this has brought to the individual members of this community.

TIESTO Ignites THE DOCKS May 21, 2006
image

Toronto, May 3, 2006 - The DJ Tiesto concert scheduled for Sunday, May 21 at CiRCA has been moved to The Docks Nightclub at 11 Polson Street. The much anticipated long weekend show is the second stop on the world renowned DJs North American Tour to launch his latest album: In Search of Sunrise vol. 5.

All existing tickets will be honoured and a new block of 2000 tickets will go on sale today for the sold-out show through Ticketbreak.

The Worlds #1 DJ returns to the city he loves...Toronto!!! On Sunday, May 21st, 2006 Tiesto will shake the roof off of The Docks Nightclub in downtown Toronto!!

Doors open @ 9pm and this is a 19+ event!

A block of another 2,000 tickets has just been released for this event!!!

Tickets are also available at the following retail outlets:

Play De Record - 416.586.0380
StyleExchange - 416.214.0111
2 The Beat - 416.598.8120
Unicuts - 905.897.6900

---The new user sound is by Tiesto...it's a song called Just Be and if you listen to it long enough it may offer some good advice. It's an eight minute song so I had to convert it to a lame mp3 at 64 kbps. The quality might not be there but if you want I'll put it on the share application.

---There is also a show the night before in Colombus, OH at the Skye Bar. I don't understand how TO gets two of the best djs (Deep Dish is the same night) in the world and all we get is Freq Nasty at the Opium.

Whatever, I told you I love you guys/girls, right, MrDT

I was lost and I'm still lost,
but I feel so much better!!!

I had some seriously good times partying at the docks. I remember one insane party with really cheap and plentiful drugs in about 1998. They had an ATM in the middle of the main dance hall and all these tweakers were in line shaking and twitching to get money out for more drugs. It was kind of like a drug automat. I wish I had a camera phone and a journal back then.

What a bad egg...
Category: wow
Today when I got home from school I checked my e-mail, like I usually do and stopped by the strip to see what was going on. Imagine my surprise when I read the following comment that somebody left for me:
@ 05/04/06 11:04 Guest wrote:

Your friends all left you because you are a loser. You whine and complain in all of your journal entries. You are not attractive, have no personality, and there isn't anything attractive about you.

I was like wow, somebody hates me. So I emailed the administrater on how I should handle this but got no response. I was thinking about retaliating and saying some really mean shit because I know who it is but that would just lower me to her mentality.

All I can say is this:
1) what you said was probably the meanest thing anybody has ever said or written to me. you were deliberately trying to hurt me but let me tell you that you can't cause I'm the man of steel.
2)that post-it was a rotten thing to do. and I'm sure right now everybody thinks you are a nice person, you may even think so, but let me tell you deep down you are rotten to the core and your post-it is proof.
3)if you continue to harass me with these gutless anonymous post-its I will pull your card an embarrass you in front of everybody.

Really though, I forgive you cause you know not what you do.

And for the rest of you atleast get to know me a lot better before you judge and start talkin' shit in Spot (walk a mile in my shoes). You might be pleasently surprised.

I still love you all, MrDT

I thought I was the only Ho on the site. Damn!!
jenks - 05/05/06 11:07
I agree with uncut. You making this all public and calling people "ho" is just as bad. From your post you act like you know who it was. But unless Paul sleuthed it out for you, I don't know how you would know. And I can just say that you're barking up the wrong tree. Not sure who it was, but I know a few people it was NOT.
paul - 05/05/06 10:09
I thought I sent you this response.
-----------------------------
I usually just ignore shit like that. But You could also post I on your journal and be like fuck you bitch to stir stuff up. It just depends if you really want to let everyone know about it.
Its tough being a local celebrity,lol.

uncutsaniflush - 05/05/06 09:17
Hmmm, where to start.

I think that anonymous attacks and insults are cowardly.

You claim to know who wrote this to you. It seems to me the thing to do would be confront this person directly and privately first since the attack was not done publicly.

The only reason we (e:peeps) know about it is because you told us.

It seems to me that you and your anonymous coward correspondent have something in common. Both of you have engaged in a personal attack on the other.

At least, you didn't do it anonymously. So you got that going for you.

robin - 05/05/06 08:30
that's so hateful. you still have love so you're ok.
scott - 05/05/06 07:23
I wouldn't let that kinda crap bother me at all. Anonymous insults are spineless and thus meaningless.

I promise any insult from me will come with plenty of ID ;)

Nice user sound.

bye, bye friends
Category: movin
I can't believe it I lost two more long time friends to the sunny state of Florida. Guess I can't blame them for moving...the job situation around here is pretty shit. With my credentials they'll only allow me to flip burgers at applebees for 10 dollars an hour. I can see it now..."well yes you have three degrees and 15 years working in restaurants but you don't have any management at applebees so we can't offer you a management job. but we'll let you work in our kitchen on the broiler and you can be promoted after awhile." it's actually not that bad but if I were to go to an area with a more touristy business I would get snatched up before my resume hit the GMs desk

So I guess that's what I have to look foward to once I graduate. movin around, checkin out the country. i've always wanted to buy a Norton and move around the country as a drifter. God damn student loans gettin in my way again. They are absolutely behind every decision I make.

Oh well, I'm gonna watch the Simpsons and go to bed. One more week of school then I'll have the whole weekend off to...to...ah... what do I do when I don't have homework weighing me down. Oh that's right I'll go to the gym and give Chris a call, oh wait he's in Boston so I'll call Jim, oh wait he just moved today, so I guess that means I'll give Joe a call; too bad about that falling out we kinda had...wonder if he has the kid this weekend???

hmmm... I got to get another suit. I'll give ol' Jed a call see if he's still at Jos Banks. I'm thinking light grey, maybe window pain. keep it tight so I don't have to have it retailerred after the summer.

I guess that's it, I'm on the laptop so I can't change the music and the desktop is off. No bother firing it up for a new user sound...I'll make it up on the nexxt one.

Reminder:::: DEEP DISH coming to the Guverment in TO on May, 21. They are my favorite music programmers right now so it should be a good show.

Love ya, MrDT

Have a Little Faith
Category: oldtimers
I was just thinking about a comment (e:leetee) left for me the other day:
always been my personal experience that the guy with the cash and the attitude gets the girl, but it's the sweet, gentle men that get to keep them.

Yah, I got that too and let me tell you it gets abused and thrown away like a kleenex. but I'm not here to bitch about that. although my new user sound is advice for all people who have low expectations in me.

I normally don't watch to much TV but I thought Letterman to be extremely funny tonight. Tom Cruise was on and Jaime Oliver (the Naked Chef) made an apperance with some thai-noodle dish.. looked okay. It's fun watching a chef get in front of an audience and kick out some crazy dish in ten minutes. The dude had the kitchen crank on (loaded with caffeine) and was just rocking back and forth like most of us do. What a good spirit Cruise was...I think that whole Ophra/Katie Holmes thing is getting blown out of control for him but what a good sport he is about it. Between the three of them I just kept cracking up. Especially when Dave started kicking back the cooking alcohol then passed it around.

Then I flipped over to SNL on COmedy Central and it was good to see a solid band on for once.

I just want to congratulate two music old timers who are still coming up with awesome music.

No it's not the aging Rolling Stones it's actually

It's:
1. The Red Hot Chili Peppers with a new album soon
2. U2, who was the band I saw on SNL. They were doing Vertigo and let me tell you, my dear readers, that I was impressed once again. Their new material is just as good as the early stuff. I can't believe it myself after Pop and that other one but it's really good to listen to.

Just out of curiousity, how do others feel about the band U2??? Do they Suck??? What the hell do I know??? I just wonder sometimes... The lead singer Bono was nominated for a grammy, a gloden globe, an oscar and the nobel prize all inside a years span. That's quite an accomplishment.

I don't know, I love um, MrDT

What do you think???

uncutsaniflush - 05/03/06 19:34
I've never been a big Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. I first saw them in NYC in the 1980s when Hillel Slovak was the guitarist and I wasn't much impressed by them as a band mostly because of Anthony Keidis. I think Flea is a great (if a bit busy) bass player and over the years they had some interesting guitar players. John Frusciante is wasted in the band imho as is Flea. I think they are both way better musicians than the band's material allows them to be.

As to U2, the only stuff I like by them, and I really like it, are Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop. These three albums are disliked by most U2 fans because they don't "sound like U2" or at least that is what I've been told.

Ironically enough, that is precisely why I like the albums - they don't sound like U2.

But then again, i'm a musician that can tie shoes. So what do I know. I'm just weird.
metalpeter - 05/03/06 18:39
I think U2 is a great band. I think it is great that they use there celeberty to push causes that are important to them. I think that there are a lot of good causes that we never hear about that celerberties can bring to the public. That being said not when they are at a show. On there off time. One reason is that everyone in the band probably has differant views and if you do it as a band it makes it look like the band is all in agrement. Secondly it makes the show less fun. Granted it is differant when the band is a band known for political lyrics. There is another exception and that is when a band says to take an active part in improving the world but leaves it up to its fans to decide what that is.
scott - 05/03/06 15:55
I think U2's one of the best of all time. They have serious staying power because they're willing to adapt and evolve, like all great bands.

They've laid a few eggs, but always find a way to crank out another record of heartfelt, honest music. Whether you like them or not, U2 lands in a category with bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who, REM, etc... a small elite club of amazing artists.

That said, I too do not care to have politics espoused to me by musicians. (Sting, Bono, that dude from Counting Crows... whomever).

I've spent a lot of time with musicians in my time playing with various bands. I can tell you that there is absolutely no link between musical ability and wisdom. Most musicacians can barely tie their own shoes, so lord knows why anyone would care about their political views. that makes as much sense as seeking tax advice from your favorite NFL quarterback.

jenks - 05/03/06 12:13
i've always liked U2, though I did wonder for a while if they're sort of past their prime, and i don't listen to them that often anymore. and sometimes i get sick of bono's political crap. but i went to the concert this year and it was awesome. They're good performers. period.

"Men should be like Kleenex, soft, strong and disposable."

I don't know exactly who said this quote first. If anyone knows for sure let me know.
