This is why I love ((e:strip)) I don't post for a short while and see that despite that I have had a bunch more views then I would ever dream of on my "other" blog. Hell, I get more views than my myspace page. Then again being a guy does not help in getting views or stalkers.
So lately I have just been juggling my classes and work. I'm a total lightweight compared to everyone else. Although this time of year it is a struggle to for me to stay on the up and up. I'm wondering if I have S.A.D. or something along those lines.
City and Colour (Dallas Green) has just has taken over my head lately. Any song I that I have listened to from him has just taken me to a special place.
So much so that It makes me want to stop by St. Catherines on Friday after the Alice Cooper show that I'm attending with my old allentown flame (Yea, I'm a slut) It is just that St. Catherines has so many great memories for me. All the time I spend in the early to mid 90's at Gord's Place, an alternative music bar that is no longer with us any longer. Hanging with my Cousin's Cousin Matt. Chasing down the serial Rapist/Schoolgirl Killer Paul Bernardo and his wife Karla Homolka. The closest I ever got was having a waitress @ Denny's in St Kits that was followed home and stalked by Paul Bernardo and running into Karla's sister Lori at the Red Hot Chili Pepper on St. Paul St. To think that this monster also owned a video store in Youngstown back in the day.
So Dallas Green thanks for writing good music, getting me all emofied, melodramatic and nostolgic.
Hopefully I'll snap out of this funk. I think getting my studying and projects done will go further in making me feel better about myself than the crazy time I'm going to have this weekend in turning a year older.
If anyone is interested I'll be hitting up Allen St. on Saturday with hopefully a small group.
Ok time get back to Reading.

Not Much going on hereCategory: potpourri
It actually is a pretty slow morning here at work. So coming in at 7:30 just seemed like a waste until I witnessed the beautiful sunrise this morning after I was woken up by the thunder and lightning. I snapped a few pics of the "Red Sky in the Morning, it was breathtaking and one of those moments I felt good to be alive. Then on my way from my "secret parking spot" to work about a 2 block walk I pretty much was drenched by the downpour. I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
On another note I guess I'm another (e:strip)er with a B-day in October. Although by subconscious plan or circumstance it ends up as a low key event. This year I'm getting a room @ the Best Western and plan on hitting every bar from Prespa to Hardware on Allen. At least that is the game plan so far, I could always get that quick gambling junket to Foxwoods or Vegas that my parents haven't told me about yet.

Just BoredCategory: potpourri
Early A.M. and I just didn't want to get up this morning. Woke up @ 6:30am and given my commute time that made me 15 minutes late. It was just so nice to get that really deep sleep but hey I have to come in and feed peoples poker addiction.
I should have not watched that VH1 Behind the Music episode about Pantera last night. WOW is all I can say. I remember them about 13 years ago now when they opened up for White Zombie @ the CT St. Armory. A part of me sometimes wishes that I could go back to the early 90's and really savor the music live at the time. Actually if I remember correctly White Zombie did outsell them in T-Shirts.
It just reminded me that there really isn't anything all that strikes such a chord with me musically. I would hate to be a kid today given the state of corporate music. If I was young and angstful again what would I listen to? Things are just so micro specialized. Y
If I was a teenager, depressed, full of volitile emotion; What would I listen to? That kid of music @ the time Pantera, Alice in Chains, Helmet and heavy industrial music was the soundtrack to me and my friends walking up and down elmwood drinking out 40oz's underage and other stuff while we were going to those shows.
Would Simple Plan provide the same effect??? I doubt it.
Oh, and I shouldn't have talked with M* so late on the phone as well.
OK, back to work. Nothing like throwing out random thoughts...

I think there still is definitely some good music out there, but I think you have to look out there beyond what you see on MTV or hear on much of the radio. I don't remember the heavy metal days too much... mostly more the whole grunge era with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, etc. That was kind of the soundtrack for us back when I was 13 or 14.
Looking back at it now, I don't think it sounds nearly as good as it did then.

Not sure who you would listen to but here are a few bands that you might listen to or listened to:
Hatebreed
Rammstein
Tool
Rob Zombie
Ministry
Motorhead
Black Label Society
There are a lot of bands to listen to that are heavy I just have no idea who they are cause I never get a chance to watch any Metal Video shows or listen to Metal on Music Choice.

This is going to be an interesting testCategory: dating
I've been having pretty fun and enjoyable conversations with M* over the phone. We're probably going to do something soon, heck I've even kicked around the idea of bringing her to the party. We are on the same page when it comes to a good number of things. I really enjoy talking to someone that sees the world and enjoys the same activities as I do.
The one thing that seem to be worrying me is she likes to be the one being dominated. All of this came out of a really weird conversation regarding kinky fetishes and such. Really my experience and personality is one that pretty much laid back and not one that exerts control. This could get interesting and should be a good barometer on how much I can can tap into my traditional "male" role in certain situations...

I feal as though I should say something on this topic so I guess I will. From what I understand Sometimes the way you are out side of the bedroom is the opposite of it. For Example people who are in control and make lots of decisions like to be dominated as a way to be away from that and just relax and give up there power. don't worry to much just try your best, you might surprise yourself, and you may find that you really enjoy the Role of Dom.

Sleep is delicious!That's something that my "Friend" that i meet there said to me that has stuck in my head since NYC.
Working a grave shift can really cure any slight insomnia that one has. After being up 28 hours which never happens to me, all I wanted to do for the last 2.5 days is sleep and I haven't reached such a deep level in a long while.
Other than that I'm feeling pretty good right now. Although I love the cool crisp weather[especially for SLEEP] I fear that at some point I will get hit with a S.A.D. episode, something which I really can't afford this year/season.
All I know is that now that for some reason I have been feeling better I need to take advantage of my athletic center privileges now that I'm a grad student. The only weird thing that is keeping me back in the awkwardness of getting a locker and the fear of being "that guy."
Other than that I have been talking to someone that graduated from NU that i came across on Match. She's a very interesting conversation to say the least. In a way part my appeal seems to be that she really never had an fun when she went here. As a social work major she only had 1 guy in her program, all the other students were Canadian or other commuters and never was able to mingle with other groups or went to any parties. So it seems that was at least in her questions regarding what I did for fun way back when.
The fun part is she's a counselor and I can't pull any B.S. on her although that aspect is quite fun and interesting. I don't know where it is going to go or if we will even get anywhere but it is just fun to have an intelligent and fun conversation with someone. The odd part is she always gets me on the phone when I'm naked or recently naked. The first time she called me when I was changing and last night after I just got out of the bathtub. Is there some sort of vibe in the air? Ha Ha

Well maybe she is hoping you have a Picture phone like she does :-) . Who knows that is kinda odd timing. Maybe next time it happens you should bring it up that she always calls when your naked and if she thinks it means anything.

That's so cool that you are going to see Alice Cooper. Have you ever seen him before?
