Dance like no one is watching, Love ....
Category: life
Well there has been soo much goin on @ work and stuff that I havent had much time to blog though a lot has gone thru my mind this past week and such

1st I truly have enjoyed meeting so many ppl from estrip @ the party.. Tony b-day party.. I realized that i do know sooo many ppl in buffalo and there are only 2 degrees of separation... thas why i never burn any bridges [or at least try not to..] i'm glad i got to meet a lot of you and speak w/ most of u, [tony,paul, timika, carey, yvonne, bill, an more... i did see alex, but i unfortunately didn't get to speak w/ her, and sawa few more.. etc.. well i'll go into it later.. but anyway cool ppl all round

2nd its busy @ work but i see more calm for some reason, must be that i have more things that i'd like or rather be doin than work but the hope and thoughts about doin them has rested my soul a bit than being just work work work

3rd i know more about me who i am what i want where im goin.. just trying to get there is a lifelong process.. but i am enjoying the jorney, sittting slightly back a bit in the chair, of the driver seat, gives a little more perspective.... than the in your face now , approach to life...

4th i am being more patient about meeting ppl. who, some i'd like to be friends with, other i'd like to be friends and more.... the delicate balance of such things... its just yes im cool w/ being friends, and i'd be cool with being more... sometimes being human and feeling invisible aren't the best feelings... esp when you don't want to
ruin either a budding friendship or build a potential relationship...

5th well i need to go out more and well i am dammit... i will be @ OPM tonight for the Quivver [john Graham] and Charles Feelgood show.. it will be an awesome time.. I will be @ the bar.. relaxing and getting my groove on.. who's with me see ya there.. say hi if i don't see ya or recognize ya.. and the science of Soma dancing will be in full effect...

there fore my title in a snapshot


'Dance like no one is watching, love like you've never been hurt.. live like today is your last day...'

simple words... applying them to your life and 'today' is the challenge...


gotta fly off to work see ya later @ OPM club e peeps

Dancing, Dj'ing, Music... Party?
Category: music
Holy Flying 12" 's Batman... there are some wicked Dj's coming to town and the area and i just don't know what to do or which one to see... Who's with me on either of these?

Ok next friday12/15 in Toronto is the legendary Jimmy Van M of balance/ bedrock.. if you know who Sasha / and John Digweed are you know progressive house.. shit its on a friday nite and i don't know how much tix are but i really wanna go.. i saw Jimmy Van M in Boston @ Avalon in 2001 opening up for Sasha / Digweed and it was awesome .. one of the best Dj gig things I've gone to in ahwile. i havent written my work schedule for next week but i'd go but coudlnt stay up in To fer the night though I'd want to..

or on the local tip @ OPM next friday in buffalo also good dj's music:
Charles feelgood spinning house.. and who I really wanna see is Quivver aka John Graham.. again more really good progressive house and trance and plain round good music.

i really wanna see both both Jimmy Van M and Quivver... so who want s to go with me.. i'd drive.. either locally or up to TO.. and there will be tons of dancin, drinkin and fun so either would be real fun

both artists are added friends on my myspace profile so if u wana ck out there music search my profile.. and also google jimmy van m in to for details or hit up buffalo bassline or Opm site for more info

Ok the party is saturday night at 8 at PMT's mansion on linwod. I know the house by sight but not number. If under the journal entries you hit show more you will get to one called Enkot and he has a journal about the party.

To upload a picture on the bottom of your journal it says browse and there is another bottom that says number files If you want more then one picture hit number file untill you see the amount of pictures you want. Then click on browse and find your picture, next go to the next browse window and find your file. When done hit the uplaod files button you will know that you hit it when the button changes size. Once the pictures upload you will see them start to appear. Once they have all ben uploaded they disapear and you will wind up getting a message that says something along the lines of there are no files and the page goes blank. It is verry important that you wait for this if you hit back before that you will lose all the pictures in your current journal. Don't freak out Just right click with you mouse and hit the back button you will go back to your journal and you will see what looks like your file names when you hit publish the pictures should appear. It is kinda hard to explain but if someone showed you, I'm guessing you would get it right away. I belive you do the same thing basicly for video and music clips but not sure since I've never uploaded them.

Tubin -- there's an idea. Sounds like a good notion for an estrip field trip.

Today
Category: deep thoughts
Today:

- today i feel like there's a future... unknown secretive.. teetering on a hinge that could go either way... 50/50

-today the demons are strong .. but i smile and stare in the mirror and scoff at them .. you wont take me today!

-today i have felt both ends of the spectrum of the force.. it is strong.. both evil and good

-today i shed a tear for the memory banks that access the past.. i just have to remind myself that that's what it is.... was... and i am much more and stronger than because of it

-today i have to realize i need to stop punishing myself... and give myself much more credit than i do...

-today i am both happy/sad

-today i have a deep yearning and want to share it

-today words a friend spoke to me a couple days ago resound with absolute clarity

-today i really should see my family.. i haven't seen them as much of late... mostly because its hurt a lot to see those you love the most and are closest to you.. odd isn't it?

-today i want to tell some things to ppl. but can't


-today music permeates my soul... just like it does everyday


-today is just another day...

..... i will see you all tommorrow

Brave New World
Category: beginnings
Well the title is very appropriate. Anywho who's read Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' knows what 'soma' is... also anywho who's seen THX1138 knows also.. or also 'Brave New World' the sci-fi cable tv made movie. A new site.. for me a little bit.. a new outlook, a different perspective, a new start. I have been i psuedo lurker here for a bit.. and I now know ((e:vycious)) and ((e:ladycroft)) and have met a few others most recently.. that I thought I might join this merry bunch.. besides i might actually be able to blog here about more personal stuff than ie; myspace in fear of corporate eyes finding such stuff.. it's soo odd how so many corporations don't want you to tell anything about your own life.. i can understand corporate sensitive info. and that is respectful but gees we humans are we not.. not automatons.. interacting in the analog and dgital world.. both virtually and non....

Anywho I wanted to say "HI" formally to fellow estrippers and I will blog more when I do get a chance... I've had a very interesting rollercoaster of highs and lows this past month.. and I will say meeting some of the estrip ppl. and other things.. have definetely been on the high end..

wuill blog more later.. shit i gotta fly off to work

dcoffee - 12/01/06 16:28
Welcome! I should read Brave New World, I'll put that on my christmas list, I also haven't read animal farm, but i do like 1984, sometimes I think Karl Rove uses 1984 as his guide to manipulating the publc. anyway, nice of you to join us.
