PROMOTE! PROMOTE! PROMOTE!!!

Well it seems that that’s been my life for the last week and will be for the next week until the 6th. The days come closer and so must the plans come together. Still haven’t met with the owner about details but it’s a club and less has to be done on my side when you don’t have to rent out your own venue, get sound, lights, blah blah blah… We meet tonight so this is *I hope* will be a short post. So..once again check the details for the Oct. 6th Party Fluid Mosaic!!!! and sign up for the mailing list for future events!!!

Went to the dentist today… first time in over a year and a half. Scary huh? I just hadn’t had medical or dental insurance in over 2 years so I’m taking the time to get all the body parts back into working order. Mike(the Frenchman scamming on all the patients/nurses…yeah I saw you lookin down the nurse’s bib!) and Kim(the yapper…just shut up and scrape please!) drilled out two fillings and replaced them, cleaned my teeth with some Ultra Sonic Scaler shit and now I have to go back to get my gums scraped out. By no means is your kiddy dentist…especially when I got the co-pay bill. DAMN!

Just to lighten things up why don’t we play some Osama Games. I got a really good rifle game at work today too but I’ll have to post that tomorrow…

I go off the net and the American saftey bubble pops!

This seems like the most inopportune time to update this page on mundane details of my life and what I’ve been doing the last week but I already had this post written before the events of yesterday occured.

My thoughts and well wishes go out to everyone in New York City and the rest of America. What a horrible event and I’m sure it will change the lives of every American. I was up early yesterday getting ready for work with my 6:30 am call, when my phone rang from Tracy. I never hear personal phone calls this early but the frantic voice on the other end stumbled over her words asking if I had the TV on. “No and why do you care?” I asked surprised.

“Turn it on now!”

I did, and it didn’t matter what channel as each had a different picture of the same event. One tower of the World Trade Center was smoking. “Fuck!” I said involuntarily.

I work with New Yorkers on a daily basis and all I could think about were all my friends and co-workers in the city. What were they doing now? what happened? How? Who? Is everyone alright?

My collared shirt was half on and I was brushing my teeth when the second plane hit the towers on live TV. “Fuck!” or something to that effect I said again…and all I though was we were under attack.

I rinsed, tucked in my shirt and jumped in my car, headed to work to start calling my friends in NY… Nothing has been the same since then…

EDIT – the rest of this doesn’t make sense to post but it’s here…. feel free to skip as it was supposed to be posted last week.

(cont.) …Original 960 Roommate #1 Morgan moved to the city, taking DSL with him so I haven’t had an opportunity to comment. Main reason I didn’t update and because I hardly have a moment to do anything personally constructive at work (which I guess is ideal for the employer) I didn’t give the low down about the previous week. Original 960 Roommate #2 will be moving back for a few months and we look for a new pad *something with out fleas, ants, and the occasional morning spider bite – spa and a sterile house a plus!*. I had a great time and thank you all for coming out to Mosaic. Excellent party guys!

Sunday though was the hit for the weekend for me. Yet another 2nd Sundays and without fail… another fine day. Great music especially by the man named Norman Stradley. He never fails to get the crowd of their ass rocking none other than the breakbeat and jerkin’ house music. Ellen F. rocked on the pier as well, or I should say as usual. Mass friends in a attendance and another great day on the bay… makes this my favorite party of the summer. One left so you have to check this one out of wait 7 months : 2nd Sundays.

Then to the final news for this fine Tuesday…I got Cable installed!!! Yeah @home will probably go out of business by the end of the year, which means I hope to keep the router they “lend” you and I will only hopefully pay about 1 month of service by then…you never know though. AOHELL could buy them out…. Oh wait did someone hear about some planes crashing or something….This is a whole ‘nother post so wait till tomorrow for my 2 cents…

The direct use of physical force is so poor a solution to the problem of limited resources that it is commonly employed only by small children and great nations.

Well, don’t worry about it’. It’s nothing.

While I dance I cannot judge, I cannot hate, I cannot separate myself from life. I can only be joyful and whole. That is why I dance.
Hans Bos

Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 – 1950) on dancing, quoted in the New Statesman, March 1962
