How does one start a blog? i suppose in this manner:

Hello world, my name is *not* Vycious. So you can call me that fer now. I have been livin in good 'ole Buffalo fer aboot ohhh, my entire life. The past eight years or so, directly downtown. Currently residing in a crappy little efficiency apt. called the mayflower with my familiar- if he can be called that:

image

yeah. that's him. yoda. that's what he was named.

now how does someone who is an admitted hater of felines come to live with one? well... the simplest answer is: by default.
don't get me wrong, i love the little shedding machine. but not ever, not once, did i ever consider getting one...

digressions aside, its safe to say there will be more about the little furball, later.

lets see.. what am i into?

Generally:
Music, Films, Ergodic Literature, videogames, dancing, wine, beer, some forms of journalism, eccentrics and eccentricity, getting my lazy ass back in shape, bike-riding, metaphysics and other dead religions, the futility of altruism, the exaltation of the self, occasionaly drawing/painting/writing. looking for a backdoor outta this trainwreck that the creator left. oh, and my complete and total ascension into Heaven and usurping of the throne.

hrm. i like to read and have read:
Wicked, Kung Fu High School, Fight Club, Good Omens, Fear &; Loathing, Zen &; the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, All of the CORE Dragonlance Saga, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, anything written by Rollins, the fountianhead, trainspotting, 1984, brave new world, war of the worlds, American Gods, the illuminatus trillogy!, house of leaves, revelations, neverwhere, the necronomicon, the season of passage, the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, the restaurant at the end of the universe, life the universe and everything, solong and thanks for all the fish, young zaphod plays it safe, mostly harmless, and many more...

currently, im forging the world biggest migrane trying to teach myself programming- with the help of enknot. so right now, im reading a quickstart guide to (x)html and css. good times.

but as of right now, im recollecting the music i lost in a recent hard drive crash. when i refer to this music, i mean almost all of it. roughly 40 gigs worth. remember- internet filesharing supports terrorism and is completely anti-american. Dont forget to back up your files, kids!

for those of you who already have seen my creepy ass on myspace: good for you. and yes, i just copied and pasted all that junk here- but it makes introductions to would be stalkers so much easier, dosent it? i would rather not, but if you must- its here:

me me me.


anyhoo... thats me atta glance. introductions said, perhaps a comfort zone has been established in my wary-ness of blog drama.
more to come when my life gets a little more interesting? maybe some of you could help, eh? im currently looking for some new peeps with positive outlooks on life to influence and inspire me, greatly. any takers?

welcome to (e:strip).

i used to work with a guy in his 70s when I lived in North Carolina.

every morning, he once told me that every morning something wonderful happens to him.

finally, I asked him what the hell he was talking about.

and he said, every morning I wake up and don't it make my day.

and, if that ain't positive, nothing is.

Welcome to (e:Strip) , (e:Vycious) !

My husband, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and i lived in the Mayflower when we first moved to Buffalo, just under 2 years ago. Not a crappy efficency for us, no sir. We had an overpriced underheated 2 bedroom 2 bath.

Like, love, and have some of the same musical interests as you. Adore the fact that Morrissey is in there twice... as would he, i am sure!

Oops my bad, I meant (e:joshua), not jason. I'm still relatively new here. D'oh!
chico - 10/05/06 21:35
Hey (e:vycious), welcome to the Strip. I think you'll find we're an agreeable bunch, as long as you don't talk politics with (e:ajay) and (e:jason), and as long as you don't (e:stalk) (e:jenks).

Wow that's a lot of 80s bands.

Again, welcome... (e:chico)
