Lots of random stuff here. I just felt like staying in tonight and hanging out with my guitar and my bird. Was going to watch Cecil B. Demented, but I have to wait for Melissa to watch it with me. She and her friend Meredith are going to the casino, which I decided to pass on. I figure that the time to pay tuition is coming so all I need to be blowing money on is Christmas presents. While on the topic of Melissa, I suppose it is time to announce her presence in the online world. I guess she saw the current trend of web journals maintained by our mutual friends (Kaytie, James), and felt left out. So here is Melissa! It looks a lot like my site, because it is my site. I will make a design just for her...tonight perhaps. She wrote some bullshit about me on there, so don't read it. I love her dearly, but she does not love me nearly as much with her bitter heart of pure ice.

I managed to piss off everyone in my rather large family about 5 minutes ago. I have put up with a noticeable tendency towards racist/homophobic remarks on both sides of my family for many years and I felt the urgent need to call out this glaring flaw. Perhaps it is not my place, since they are my relatives and they were raised in times where that kind of behavior was permissible. However, it is unacceptable now, and since I am long past the stage of caring what people think of me, it felt really good to make them all look foolish.

I went to see Poe last night at the House of Blues. I must admit, I had the best fucking time at this show. I thought Poe was like 35 years old, like Celine Dion or some shit. You may remember her radio hits of the early 90's, Angry Johnny, Hello, Hello, and others. Apparently Poe is a hyper-energetic Polish chick who rocks ass. She was all over the place, and she was stage diving, pulling the crowd onto the stage to dance/sing, then jumping off the stage and dancing with the crowd and like going to the fucking bathroom and making the people in there sing the song. She put me in a headlock and made me sing "badababa." It was pretty insane. I definitely think it was an "on night" for her or she was on a large dose of amphetamines. It was just so fun. La.

I have almost completed my first "shopping cart" written in Active Server Pages, using an Access 2000 database. I have been really busy with that the last couple weeks. I started listening to a Murder City Devils CD I bought a year ago, but never opened for some reason. In case you didn't know, they kickass too. So I bought another album of theirs last night, Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts. Also bomb material. This stuff is like one-half punk, and three-fourths rocknroll, so you get your money's worth. Oh, yeah...they broke up last month.

Now I will write an email to Farida, who I have e-neglected for too long. I would post a link to her awesome online journal, but it is very exclusive. Sucks for you!
