Hello LJ land.

Update...

Living in Scottsdale and i really like it quite a bit. My roommate is pretty cool, never home and over all a chill and good person to be living with.

I have a job. I work for Envoy Data as their in house IT nerd. It's just 25hrs a week but it completely covers my bills/room/board so its perfect as it gives me LOTS of time to pursue my other endeavor which is starting up an internet marketing company up with a friend. We have out first few clients and if everything goes as we expect this is gonna take us FAR!!!

My birthday is coming up, July 25th, and I've commandeered Solstice @ Bar Smith that night to host/hold my birthday party so if you are in the Phoenix area Sat July 25th I best see you dancing the night away with us on the roof downtown to the best house DJ's AZ has to offer!! :)

I think that is all.

I am happy, planting my feet and over all loving life. My summer also seems to have some really great possibilities on the horizon...if any of them pan out i promise to mention them later.

So after my last entry she wrote an email to talk about how she only stalked me to confirm that i was a shit and that it was finally over...I was relieved...she even has a new "boy friend" which i think would consume her time and heart in a productive manner...

Alas when i wake up this morning there's her IP this morning at 2am all over my LJ...

And here i though busting her out would make her stop.

It has come to my attention that Eileen has been going around to most (if not all) of my friends blogs, websites and social networking profiles...in effect stalking them, and in turn me by proxy. She even went so far as to google search my online handles and alias' in an effort to find everything I ever wrote in any forum i ever belonged to...even so far as registering for them to see each thread specifically.

It was realized when those that were looked at noticed a high instance of traffic all coming from 1 specific IP address in Switzerland...with extra hits happening on those posts in which i was either mentioned or that i commented on/replied to. (And I thought Charlie was obsessive)

If you don't currently lock your websites or blogs, or make them private, you may want to consider it.

If you don't care then thats cool too but I thought all my friends should be made aware.

If you haven't looked at your statistical analysis and/or tracking code recently you may want to check it out. See if she's looked in on you too.

From my angle I will choose to just ignore it all...change my passwords and in some cases names and of course inform all of you so that you too are not bothered.

I love all of you guys and thanks for your support.

:)

i probably heard it abotu 2-3 times a day while living in Switzerland...



AMY!!!....here is the video Ive been wanting you to watch or like forever now :P





This song is also wildly popular in Switzerland and I also happen to effin love it too :P




And of course there was this ute and great and awesome little scottish girl that i just cant get enough of and wish i could just sleal her away from her footballer boyfriend...

Back state side...

Back in the Phoenix area...

Looking for a job (tech/IT/customer service/food/ANYTHING!!!)

Looking for a couch or two to surf till April 1st...1 day, a few days, a week or all of March...

I'm house sitting the entire month of April but i need a place to stay till then...paying a months rent and getting a lease before then would just be silly...

Anyway I'm happy to be back home and look forward to seeing everyone again soon that is in the area :)

Hey there its me again...not really a suisse update but it is somthing i think many of you will find very interesting...


Any fans of She Wants Revenge out there???? I know there are :P Ever wonder a little bit more about them? Hows this for a crayz bit of trivia....

How many of you are also familiar with the bomb da bass track bug powder dust? its most popular version is teh Kruder and Dorfmeister remix of the song they released. If you are unfamiliar with the track or at least need a reminder here it is:





Now that you remember the track...here is the bombshell...that MC you here with the kilelr flow...his name is Justin Warfield...the SAME Justin Warfield that is the lead singer of She Wants Revenge...you can check wiki for your proof but i prefer the visual evidence...here is bug powder dust un-remixed as originally preformed by Justin in 1994:





And of course looking closely you can see its the same Justin as in this video from She Wants Revenge circa 2006:





So i dont know if this blows anyone else away but when i put it altogether it blew my mind...im an even bigger Justin Warfiled fan then ever before....


PS Swityerland is great and coming soon is a more substantial update on that front.


I lvoe you all and cheers :)

Sometimes i hate how far behind i can be...once again here is something i should have known about well over a year ago and yet seem to have missed completely.

Love this shit!!!!



Justice - D.A.N.C.E.

I was going through some of Uffie's tracks on youtube.com and came across this video which has a flier from the Rhythm Room Show up in Phx (0:55)...I thought it was worth posting...especially since its also just a damn good track. Tiffe is she wearing anything of yours in the stills?


Uffie - Dismissed

I drop my expectations, develop my goals and then just do it. The universe isn't going to help me no matter how I ask it.

The Cure - Staring at the Sea and Other singles (First album I ever bought myself...i was the summer of '87 and i was 12)

Depeche Mode - Violator (After gorwing up listening to Troy's big sister play DM records (big black cd's for you younger readers) at his house all teh time they came out with this...their grandest and finset work. After this album life was enver again the same.)

Nirvana - Bleach (there really is nothing to say. its brilliant)

Afghan Whigs - Gentleman (of all of Greg Dulli's work over the years i will always come back to this record. the lyrical content can not be matched...ever. "Ladies let me tell you, about myself. I got a dick for a brain, and my brain is gonna sell my ass to you. Well I'm ok but this time I find I'm stuck. 'Cuz she wants love, and i still wanna fuck.")

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here (this album was released the year I was born and welcome to teh machine had such an amazing impact on me the first time i heard it. this is one Floyd album that I will always hold dear)

Genesis - Trick of the Tail (first album after Peter Gabriel and with Phil Colins. One of Prog rocks very finest works. forget what you ever thought about genesis, this record is a musical sound scape and a twisted story.)

TOOL -Aenima (I was just 21, i was hungry for more TOOL after undertow and yet fearful that TOOL was going to suck and they could never do that good again. i was wrong. to date this is still their best piece of work)

LTJ Bukem - Mixmag Vol. 3 LIVE! (the first bukem i ever heard and what got me hooked on that rolling bassline. this is sonic bliss)

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream (go back and listen to that solo in Cherub Rock rock again. I'll wait. GO NOW do it. Back now? SEE...I'm right. This is Billy's finest work and an icon in the world of spaced out alt rock. dont forget...he reproduces all those crazy sounds in his solos live...on stage :O )

Jay Hannen and Ben Watt - Lazy Dog Vol. 2 (how can i not put in a house music record :P And this one is just brilliant. it makes me laugh, it makes me cry and most of all it makes me dance till my corns bleed :D)



This list actually sucks...but its what popped in my head in the 15min I devoted to it.

I mean...there are records im sure i forgot...I failed to put PRINCE in there cuz i just thought ot if now...oh fuck radiohead too...I mean really...10 best? just ten? cant narrow it down to a genre for me? damn it i forgot fugazi's 13 songs...pennywise's unknown road...I daw D had NiN broken well DUH!!!

I dont like this question at all...I dare you to answer it!!!!

My moms dad died on Tuesday. This is the first time a truly close person to me has died. I've been lucky in that regard. I'm not sure if I'm handling it right. Have I cried enough? Have I mourned enough? What is enough? I don't know. I cried a lot on Tues but since then not really. I saw my mom filling out some web page memorial thing she found and is doing for him. I help her fill in a few things (greatest achievement, hobbies) and that made me cry. My dad sent me an email saying, "I am so sorry. It has been a long time but I liked him a lot, and in another life we had some good times together." Mind you my dad and mom have been divorced for over 25 years now so it was indeed "another life". Anyway that made me cry. I remember watching my dad and Gpa play pool, both of their favorite game, and being so small I could barely see the felt. I guess its memories that make me cry (DUH!) but to think of him as "dead" or "gone" doesn't seem to get any reaction from me. I think maybe that's because he was in NM and we didn't see each other much anyway...at least not since i was like in HS. Back then though, it was very regular to see Grandpa Ray pretty regularly.

Anyway I can analyze why i am mourning the way I am for quite a while and probably get a pretty good idea of whats up in my head. But yeah. I don't think I'm gonna do that.

At work on Tues I pretty much cried a lot and when my boss got there for the day he sent me home. I work 6am-2pm usually and went home about 8. When I was very little Gpa worked at Rainbow bakery and just the smell of the bread i was baking would make me cry. My boss said "you are too slow today to make sandwiches and i certainly cant have you work the counter. Go home."

This thought literally just popped in my mind right now. Will i cry more over Siofra's death? And if so what the hell does THAT mean. I think this only bothers me because the likelihood of that seems very high.




I love you very much Grandpa and I'm glad I got to see you this year. I do miss you very much. Have fun sharking Jesus on the felt.

<3


R.I.P. David H. Ray

David H. Ray
RAY, David H., Born November 1, 1934, died October 28, 2008. David passed away in Los Lunas, NM. He is survived by his wife, Lorraine and her family. His children, Jim, Chuck and Belinda and their spouses. He is also survived by his grandchildren and great- grandchild. David will be most remembered for his ability to make people laugh. He never met a stranger and he was always quick with a joke. To honor him and his passing, make someone laugh today and when you laugh, think of David. A memorial service will be held in Los Lunas at a later date.

To make good choices,
We should have free mind.

We can't make good choices
When we are attached to something
And grasp it tightly.

Let go
Of everything
You no longer need.

Awareness leads to good choices.
Good choices lead to good actions.

Through this simple process,
We become a better human being,
One choice at a time.

Opening From Heart

"Right now, and in every now-moment, you are either
closing or opening. You are either stressfully waiting for
something--more money, security, affection--or you are
living from your deep heart, opening as the entire
moment, and giving what you most deeply desire to
give, without waiting. If you are waiting for anything
in order to live and love without holding back, then
you suffer. Every moment is the most important moment
of your life. No future time is better than now to let
down your guard and love. Everything you do right now
ripples outward and affects everyone. Your posture can
shine your heart or transmit anxiety. Your breath can
radiate love or muddy the room in depression. Your
glance can awaken joy. Your words can inspire freedom.
Your every act can open hearts and minds. Opening from
heart to all, you live as a gift to all. In every
moment, you are either opening or closing. Right now,
you are choosing to open and give fully or you are
waiting. How does your choice feel?"

--David Deida

Okay so for the sake of being proactive in my life I've decided to start today with something that i've been mulling over in my head for a long time now.

Just Josh personal chef and catering.

Ultimately it would something akin to the "Take Home Chef" TV show but would also be able to mutate into other services (such as weekly meal prep and dinner parties and catering etc...)

Here is what I'm looking for. web design. I need a website. As soon as I can get the money together I am going to buy travellingapron.com and travelingapron.com (according to the dictionary both are valid and acceptable spellings so they will point to each other to avoid customer confusion). My dad has agreed to buy both of them for me today :)

Can any of you help me here...I can not pay you but I can cook!!!! I'd like something that goes POW...maybe flash maybe not...im not a web guy i dont know shit...

Anyway if you want to try and help me out let me know...

Thanks for all your support guys I love you all!

I was thinking a bit about the use of comparative analysis in teaching biology, and of the problems involved with using anthropomorphic statements therein. It was more of should natural phenomena be described teleologically or anthropomorphically. I was wondering if any of you had any insight into the matter.


Also what id your favorite anthropomorphic example? Mine has to be Brian from Family Guy.
