So, I haven't been updating because I've been getting action. Hence the lack of mysoginistic posts lately. I've also noticed that my comedy is much nicer lately, since Jenna has taken what one might call a "back" seat in my life. Whew.
Nate's out.

What can I say? I'm a disgusting person. Moving right along.
Long, long ago, in a neighborhood far, far away I registered for a comedy contest. It's called "The Funniest Person in Minneapolis" contest. The preliminary round was Tuesday, the 15th of July. And I fucking won. Don't get too excited, it only means that I go on to the Semi-Finals....but. I FUCKING WON. Good sweet mother of God. Lots of religion in this post...anyway.
Something funny, and not like 'ha ha' but like 'hrm' : I used to do this open mic night at the Dinkytown Steaknife. It's a shitty fucking restaurant near the Univeristy of Minnesota campus. The sound system sucks, the stage sucks, the lighting sucks, and the performers... well, they suck. There's this black guy there, and I say 'this black guy' because there is only one. His blackness is not actually his most identifying feature though. He's first and foremost a pothead. He doesn't get on stage without announcing it, and talking about it in any one of the 12 most juvenile ways one can do so. He is also an ignorant prick. There, I said it. Everybody but me loves him. And I tried. I tried so fucking hard. It didn't work. Every time I see the guy, I want to rip off his passive aggressive bullshit disguise of a face and shit on his braincase. Anyway, I'm rambling. Shortening this story. This guy makes fun of me. The Dinkytown Steaknife doesn't listen to my comedy, and moreover, doesn't like it. I went to Acme Comedy Club and brought down the fucking house.
Shortening again: Fuck you drunk bastards and your complete inability to recognize a good joke if it was wrapped around your dicks. Fuck you, and everything you stand for. Get a new cell phone service plan that defines you as a person. I'm out.

So lets see.....Been nearly 2 months since I've posted... And you know what? You guys didn't miss a damn thing in my life. Well, I guess some shit went down, but nothing super important. So the whole "Spending less time on the computer thing" has kind of worked. Basicly instead of staying on the computer so much, I sleep. God I hate sleeping. Well.... no, that's not true. I hate going to sleep and I hate waking up. Sleeping is just fine though. This has been a pretty crazy, sleepless week. I've only slept threeof the past five nights and two of those that I did sleep were very poor sleep.
It all started when I didn't want to sleep one night because I was trying to fix my schedual... I can't really remember what the days were that I didn't sleep, so I'm not going to tell the story... (I did start telling it, but deleted it because I don't have a clue on what I was talking about) this week has been one LONG day. Didn't go to work Thursday, slept for like 18 hours, stayed up all that night and went to work Friday on no sleep. Basicly took too much euphedrin (energy pills) and couldn't sleep for shit Friday night. Got like 4 hours of sleep and I had to come in to work at 10 yesterday and work a 12 hour shift. Last night my legs were so sore from clenching them while I was on the euphedrin I couldn't sleep very well, so yeah... I'm tired.
Last week on the other hand... was a good week... although it left me with a nice little paradox to figure out. By the way, when I say last week, I mean last weekend. So I'm working late for a friend... Saturday. He brings about an ounce of Magic Mushrooms to work. Short story shorter, we had fun at work. Now that is where this paradox comes in (paradox on mushrooms... suprise suprise!)
So for the past year and a half, I have been staying sober... more or less. I havn't been smoking pot and I havn't been drinking and I've done a few other things (pills mainly) about 5-6 times, give or take. Now I'm staying sober because I'm a fucking drug addict. In past experiences I have not been able to control my drug use to a reasonable manner and I don't want to go back to that. But, like I said, I've only used a few times in the past year and a half... and I consider that reasonable (except for the one time that I did smoke pot and went off on that for a few months... but that doesn't count, I don't want to use marijuana anymore). So my treatment and AA teaches that we, as drug addicts, are powerless over our addiction. Meaning, that if I start to use psychedelics on a rare occasion, it will eventually lead back to full-blown, out-of-control drug use. Now, being the stubborn, pseudo-intellectual that I claim to be, this is hard to believe. What I want to believe is that I am an exception to the rules, the rules of addiction. I have seen, time and time again, people who believe that and go out to try it and fail. But still, I think I can do it... So the question is, do I try it? I think I will have to. If it doesn't work, and I go back out to the game, maybe I will finally be convinced (if I make it back that is). If it does work, well, then it works. And I prove I am an exception to the rule. God, I'm such a drug addict. But either way, I'm going to get fucked up when Nate comes and visits. Because he will be very pissed off if I don't. Doing psychedelics is such a good bonding experience. I guess... Anywho...
All efforts to quit being an obsessive-stalker-harrasser-type-guy have proved... successful. That's one of those things you look back on and say "What the Fuck? That was Me?" Or something like that.
Soon, within two weeks, I should be starting the night shift! Yay! I'll be working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 9pm-7am. I'll probably be working a week day too... but my schedual is going to be worse than it is right now... so I don't know, maybe I can come in around noon. Also signed up for an online class in PC Troubleshooting so I will have something to do at night and I won't have to pay rent.
Speaking of rent, if you know anybody trustworthy in the Dallas area, tell me! I think I need to move out... maybe... Actually, what I want is to move in with Nate or Jon... I think (maybe(BIG MAYBE)) that me and Jon may get an apartment. But that means he has to get a steady job and stuff... so yeah, big maybe. I'll hope, but I sure won't expect.
Hmmm... I got a new tattoo since last post... it's a baphomet pentagram. Maybe I'll get a picture up of it, its super evil.
Anyways, guys, hit up the tagboard. We're lonely.
Out.
Jun 23, 2003
Oh, and I would like to apologize for insinuating that anyone who doesn't know what auteur theory is is an imbecile. That was not what I intended. I was angry at people who are using the theory as a basis for their evaluation of literature, while I suspect that none of them know what it is. Plus, these people were being dumb. Don't do that... I HATE that. I HATE IT.
Anyway. I found out that the comedy contest is on the 15th of July. Tuesday night. My actual time will be determined randomly on the night in question. I get three minutes. THREE! Everyone gets three minutes. I was worried I'd have to fill like 20 minutes. Oh well, this may help me edit, a thing I am obviously loathe to do. At least, when you consider my longwindedness when expressing menial concepts. So for my act, I'm thinking about the bleu cheese bit and the homeland security bit. I like those alot. If I cut one or both down a little, I might be able to squeeze in a third.
I will post the bleu cheese bit here, for those of you that don't know it.
So when you’re hungry late, you've got Perkins and Denny’s (which is everywhere). Where I'm from there's IHOP and Waffle House. But whatever, the locations of these places in relation to the Mason-Dixon line is another bit entirely. They’re all the same if you get there like 20 minutes before a shift change at around 4 am. There’s one cook, one server, they’re all tired, and don’t give a shit. I could just not order bleu cheese dressing. Because I know that none of these places have it. But I DIDN'T know until I ordered it a few times, and got ranch. Is it just the same word to these people? Or do they think I don't know the difference? I wanna see veins in the dressing so thick I think it's a penis. Don't just throw some creamy white shit on my lettuce and tell me it's bleu cheese, you lying waiting table no tip getting motherfucker. If I don't put my foot down now, where will it end? If you think I can't taste the difference between ranch and bleu cheese, it's not a very far step from just masturbating into my salad, and that will not stand. I ordered the shit, you told me you had it, and all of a sudden I feel like I'm herding cattle in a hidden valley.
This is one of the few bits that I have down really well. As a result, it actually looses something in the text version. Most of my jokes are written to be read (it's a complex problem I'm working on), this one is meant to be heard. The homeland security bit goes a little something like this:
Do you guys laugh during press conferences about homeland security? This is the funniest shit that’s been on TV for at least 5 years. It’s mind boggling. Everyone’s so concerned about Terrorism that they don’t give a shit about anything else. And since there isn’t any tangible threat, they start making things up pretty quickly. People asking questions like: “Mister secretary, can you please explain to us the nation’s plan of action if Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior were to rise again in all his glory next week? Would we be able to step down our alert level from orange?” We’re at yellow now, in case you guys don’t know. I’m sure you feel more secure with that knowledge. What is up with that little warning system anyway? Green, blue, yellow, orange, red? Does it strike anyone else as odd that green is safer than blue? How, exactly does that work? Green is yellow and blue combined, DAMMIT. The whole color scheme is fucked. Bush sympathizers are always searching for evidence of what our president actually does in his office, and I think we’ve finally found some. They let him arrange the colors. Only with George W. Bush could an arbitrary color-coded danger system get fucked up. And NOBODY knows what the conditions mean either, let alone when it should change. They mean nothing, I think they have 7 interior decorators hidden in a secret bunker 40 miles beneath the surface of the moon, and their job is to decide what our state of alert is here. “What do you guys think? Is today an orange day? Gerome? Is orange okay? I’m feeling kind of orange.”
The end of that bit is in a gay voice. Anyway, it's late, and I should retire.
Jun 18, 2003
"Well, I see a bit of homosexuality on the part of the hero." Bullshit, there is none. You're gay.
"I think there's some good in the grandmother character." She drowns her dog, slaps her granddaughter, and has a reverie about loathing her daughter. Yeah, sounds like an amiable person.
"The author of this story obviously had issues about his mother." No shit. Who doesn't. You writing your own material, or is a team of chimps working around the clock on it. Assessing an author's psychological makeup based on one of their works is absolutely retarded. You are absolutely retarded, and I hate you for it.
"I have nothing to say, but I'm going to talk in circles for at least 45 seconds too long." That's not a direct quote, I'm paraphrasing. Just stop.
"I"m a feminist and see females being hated in anything I experience." Again, I'm paraphrasing. Become a dyke and hang out with dykes, don't trouble the rest of the world with your bullshit.
"I'm a film major and obsessed with the meta-reality inherent in any media, because I just heard the word 'meta' in one of my film studies classes." Maybe it's just me, but I think I abandoned any semblence of quoting people, I'm just describing them now. I went through this phase too, don't worry, the novelty will wear off. Meta-meta-meta-shit isn't nearly as witty when you're not constantly high. (For those of you that are high though, Meta-meta-meta-shit would be shit that has been eaten by someone, shit out, then eaten by a catfish, then shit out, then eaten by a fungus and shit out.) Stop smoking so much fucking pot. Your judgement is skewed so far that you don't even know where you are, let alone where you're going (in a metaphorical or literal sense). Guess I'm ranting now. My fucking fiction teacher is from California. I HATE PEOPLE FROM CALIFORNIA. I tried to give them a chance. Each one I meet, I say to myself, "Maybe this one won't be retarded." Pretentious, ignorant, pompous shitlickers. It's like, since they're from the same state as Hollywood, some of the pompous air that Film generates gets absorbed by their baby lungs, and goes straight to their fucking brain. I mean, actors are pretentious. C'mon, they are. Nobody that gets paid to play pretend (even if they do it REALLY well) could be anything but an absolute asshole. Even people that don't act and are from California seem infused with this attitude though. It pisses me off.
Alright. Hit up the tagboard if you believe there are multiple matricies in the Matrix universe. That's my running theory. Out.

Needless to say, I've picked up some of my old habits. I'm not exactly doing drugs. Much. I'm in school again. I'm really, really hoping I passed my Film Studies class. If I didn't, I'm really going to have to kiss some ass to stay in school. Oh well. Getting out of trouble is probably one of the few things I have a natural talent for. I don't know exactly where I was going with this. Good night, America.
Jun 15, 2003
Alright, I've actually got some funny things to relate to you.
First, remember that girl I was talking about in my Film studies class? The one that reminds me of Donna from "That 70's Show"? Yeah, I asked her out, and she's married. That's right, married. The conversation went a little something like this.
We're talking about the class, and I felt that since I embarass myself infront of lots of people every week, why not do it before Friday night.
So I said, "Do you date immature men?" A Seinfeld line that I must admit I'm partial to.
Then she said, "I'm married."
Me, "What?"
She holds up her hand and I stifle a fit of giggles that overtake me most of the way walking home. Fucking married, no shit. Well, I thought it was funny.
Then on Friday, before I do my standup act, I'm sitting outside the place, doing some writing. Out of nowhere, this drunk dude, sits down at my table. He tried to sit with the chick a few tables down, but she kindly rebuked him. So anyway, he tells me that he's been at the U of M since 1986. He's getting his Masters in Mass Communication. For the record, I don't believe it, but it could be true. Anyway, he asks me what my major is, which is where things get interesting.
Me: English.
He notices that I'm writing stuff.
Him: Are those poems?
Me: No, I fancy myself a stand up comic.
Him: Lay it on me, make me laugh brother.
Me: Um, I'm not really a funny person.
Anyway, so I tell him some of the bits that I've been writing in my little notebook thing. He thought a couple of them were funny. Then he stops this crowd of people walking down the sidewalk. Maybe some of you know what is about to unfold. He tells them that I'm a standup comic, and they should give me 5 minutes of their time. Meanwhile, I'm saying, "Um, don't let us sitting at the same table decieve you, I don't know this guy. Keep walking, don't make me do this." He won't let them leave. Nor will he let me use my material (I didn't have any of it memorized, was in class all week, it was a pain in the ass.) Whew, that was funny.
That's about all I've got, I'm gonna go to sleep or something now.
Jun 4, 2003
Anyway.
I started classes last week. It's only a 3 week term, so it's actually quite intensive, hence the lack of posts by me. I met a cute girl in the class though (it takes something like this for me to attend the class). She reminds me a lot of Donna from 'That 70's Show' actually. It's mostly her voice (which is super duper sexy) and her complexion, although the hair color has a slight reddish tinge. She's a big girl. Not like, fat, but she's probably about 5'10" or so. Maybe 5'9". Needless to say, it took me a week to get the courage up to even start annoying her. I started that a few days ago, and I've been doing it regularly after class. Tomorrow I'm going to invite her to my act on Friday. I doubt she'll show. Oh, and I should probably ask her name. I don't really know if we have anything in common, but she is dead sexy, and that's enough for me.
So I've been doing comedy pretty religiously. I'm working on an actual act now. I'll be able to fill 20 minutes with solid material, but I'm not sure about anything beyond that. Now that I'm getting a little more serious about it, I'm going to start making tapes. I'm actually slightly on schedule with the plan on how I wanted to be progressing with my comedy, which is heartening to realize. I feel like I'm moving slowly, but I had planned to start making tapes in june and july. This should help me develop my jokes. Let's face it, I need to be lots better than I am now before I move to New York.
Sean and I are still developing Ideas for the sketch comedy we're going to be putting together once we locate resources for said sketches. Mainly a camera and some intelligence. It's gonna be good. I've got several very solid sketch ideas, which I will NOT divulge here. You fucking parasites.
So that's what I've been doing. Well, that and getting quite drunk on a regular basis. What? Fucking commies.

Took Spike to the vet yesterday, she's getting shots and declawed and spayed. Poor cat. I wouldn't do that to her if I didn't have to to have her come with us to the new house... Oh, I didn't tell you I'm moving? Well, I am. It's only about 2.3 miles away from the current house. And its FUCKING HUGE. Too big if you ask me... I think I'll get lost. Guess that's what happens when mom gets together with a rich motherfucker. Probably end up moving in August, a while away, but we were supposed to move first in April... then early May, then late May... Now August. I'm ready to move now and get it over with but the house isn't completely finished, still some sound system and A/C stuff that needs to be tweaked. I won't go into detail on the 8 foot projector screen or the juke box type thing that you can listen to from any room in the house. Like I said... Too big.
Well, the seroquel has been working, getting to sleep on time and stuff.... It's kind of nice. Kind of. Let's me get in more reading time, which I need. Anyways, that's all I have to ramble about today. Maybe some other time. Peace
May 23, 2003
Last night I had a dream that I had a dream that I woke up at like noon, late for work. It was so vivid! When I woke up from that dream to wake up from that dream to wake up to my alarm I was so confused. Everything seemed like deja vu. I don't know. Slowly spinning 'round the spiral of insanity, I just don't know if I'm going up or down... or if it even matters.
May 21, 2003
May 20, 2003
Well, now that I've built up the expectation of my own decision, you're probably wondering exactly what it is. I've decided to be a comedian, and by that I mean, "Waiting tables, and never being capable of supporting a family." A few things that I haven't mentioned have helped me reach this decision. Mainly that all that which really matters is being happy.
I'm never quite as happy as I am when either someone appreciates a joke I've written, or when I feel a certain type of connection with a person. The second kind of happiness is extremely fleeting, usually ends with a prolonged period of horrid depression, and the worst part is that I cannot re-create it. I need someone else. I've found people in general to be extremely unreliable. I don't like them. Writing is something that I can do when everyone else has gone to sleep, or left me. I'll be able to write until almost the very moment I cease to exist.
The kind of connection I'm talking about, obviously, is a romantic one. But it's also more than that. It's where you want to touch someone, but don't at the same time. When you understand someone so completely that it's okay when they're wrong. Or when they try to dig themselves out of a hole in their own logic, and you don't throw dirt on their shoulders. It all boils down to reproduction, of course. Ultimately, everything boils down to all the instincts we as humans think we're above. Fucking, fighting, and feeding. That's life, that's why we're here.
Although, the connection people feel with each other has to be something that's not described there. I personally think this is the source of all creative processes that humans go through. To explain that feeling that isn't quite covered by the three F's. So I'm going to try right now. I think it's that very moment, when you respect another human enough, that you honestly believe the combination of your genes would be a worthwhile contribution. Maybe, somehow, with that grabtastic amalgamation of genetic material that forms inside one of you, you can both escape entropy. Maybe, half of each of you makes the perfect person. Maybe THIS new person can do what neither of you could. That's always the hope, isn't it? It is, it's what your parents wanted for you, on down through your ancestors since they were apes trying to stand on 2 legs to see over tall grass.
Well, I'm done hoping that my children will do what I cannot. I'm done having low expectations for mates. I'm done seeing people as 'out of my league.' I'm also done wanting to have a decent job so that a female sees me as a prospective mate. That's a waste of time, which I have too little of. But I do believe that it is my personal obligation to the human race to reproduce. Why? Well that's a tougher question to answer. Probably because it's one of the F's. I'm trying to explain reality without using it as a crutch though. So let's try again. It's my obligation to reproduce because my bloodline demands reproduction. I don't plan on flooding the world with my offspring, because that's counter-productive (I do understand the irony there). We need more variety though. We, as humans, need more people who refuse to be cogs in a useless machine that demands everything and gives nothing. I don't think we can beat it. But I think that the more people we have wondering why it's there the better off humans will be. So far, every man or woman that has fought this machine has lost. Horribly. Karl Marx comes to mind. I think the fault he had was underestimating the potential this machine has for severe reprogramming when facing total annihilation. He assumed, as it does resemble a machine, that it would work like one, and it does not.
Now, another inherent problem with attempting destruction of this machine itself is that the world is dependant on it. We all need it. Why? Because this machine has made us forget all but two skills we once had as a species. We still remember how to fuck and how to feed. This explains the intense population explosion, which arose about one millenia after this machine's creation. We remember how to feed, because this is how the machine maintains the status quo. We have forgotten how to fight. Now, you're thinking that we know how to fight. Look at the middle east, you say. You tell me of Littleton, CO. Look at all the people dying by violence, you think. This is not fighting, this is merely an extention of the angst created by living dependant on an unfeeling machination. Fighting is done to ensure survival, not at the whim of a government ensuring the 'collective' good. But, I need a better example, don't I. You still don't believe. How many people do you know, that could eat without any money? Do they know how to hunt? Can they plant things in the soil, and let water and sun make these things grow? Can they survive the bitter cold once their electrical company shuts them down, when our sun grows distant in the later months of our calendar? Can they protect their children, from themselves, but most importantly, from the bitter venom our culture injects to ease the transition from natural human survival into dependance on a machine that doesn't care? I assure you, they cannot. They have forgotten how to fight. We have voluntarily removed ourselves from the natrual progression of events to place ourselves in a grinder of flesh. Can you fight? Will you fight? No, and no.
Now, we have a surrogate grasp on what this machine is, and one reason attempting destruction on this machine will ultimately fail. I understand that this is difficult, because of the veil. Once you better understand the veil, you will better understand that which controls you. The veil is an early defence the machine created. When people begin asking questions. When people wanted something better. When they say, "Why must he make things for others so quickly that he destroys the air my children breathe? Why must he eat and grow fat, while my children whither and die? Why does he send my children to fight wars to protect his production facilities, while his children stay safe. Very soon, there will be none of us left." Now, this is where things get interesting, because there still are some of us left. Which makes us ask why. In a world seeming so bent on our destruction, why are any of us still here? Because they need us. They need us here, so they can have, and we cannot. If there were none of us, they would have to fight amongst themselves. Their children would die, they would not be fat, and would starve. So the first incarnation of the veil was a Father figure for us all, so we would quiet down, as we are all afraid of our fathers. They said to us, "We have been told by God that we should have, and you should not. Have no fear, you will be rewarded once you expire. Your job is hard, but the meek shall inherit the earth." This worked for many years, for many years we said, "We will endure this pain, while you do nothing, for we will be rewarded." Slowly, we realized they had lied. We have no reward. We have no great paradise. We grew angry at the liars, and immediately tried to rebel by not making this machine work. This failed, because while the machine needs us to work, we need this machine to survive. We must first relearn how to fight, before anything can be done.
Which, brings us to now. Now we are wanting something we can't have. We are wanting the paradise we were promised. I will tell you, whether I am right or not, that it is not there. Why would I tell you this? Because this want is a new incarnation of the veil. I tell you there is nothing for you because it is an excuse to be lazy. It is an excuse to not care. You must care. Otherwise you are on a side of the veil which hides the machine, in all it's bitter workings, from you. We must not want which we cannot affect. What we can affect, we must demand. We must learn how to fight again, as an equal of the animals we have begun to see ourselves as above.
These are things that I have realized. I realize that it sounds like the depraved rantings of a drug addled teenager. I also realize that the realization of the status of our world helps nobody. I'm not done caring though. I'm officially dedicating my life not to the destruction of the this machine, but to the veil this machine hides behind. Everytime they move the veil, or alter it's texture, I will be there to tell you: "Look! They have changed the veil again, so that it still hides the machine. We must keep searching." Because as long as you all know that it IS a veil, and you have not, in fact, reached a wall, we will win eventually. As long as everybody around us earnestly believes that there is nothing wrong, nothing will change. We must educate them, we will teach them. Using a systematic, acidic logic, we will free these people from their hamster wheels of cars and clothes and overpriced carcinogen caloric foods.
"In the world I see -- you're stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You will wear leather clothes that last you the rest of your life. You will climb the wrist-think kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. You will see tiny figures pounding corn and laying-strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of the ruins of a superhighway."

So the crowd was bad. Not just bad, but glaringly bad. Most of the time, I'm guessing that a crowd will give you at least 25 seconds to say something funny if you're on stage. Some crowds will give you all night. They gave me maybe, 5 seconds. Tops. Which is strange, because the first thing I said when I got up there was funny, but fuck it. Ok, so the crowd was bad. I"d like to extrapolate that though. It's not that it was hard to make them laugh, or they didn't like any of my jokes, it's that they were too drunk to actually LISTEN to anything for more than a few seconds. Whatever, there were some black people there, so that's probably why.
Yeah, let's cut the crap, you all know what I want to complain about anyway. So the normal MC of open mic wasn't there. This black musician was there, filling in. He's a regular, and the only black musician at this particular open mic. This guy was drunk. Not only did he not introduce me properly, but fucked up at least 5 of my jokes, for the few people that were listening. Now, I don't require a complicated introduction. I really don't. But I'd prefer if I was introduced as a spoken word act, instead of a musician. Why? Because I can't sing or play an instrument. So, maybe it's just me. But don't respond to a comedian's one-liners if you don't get the joke. Because getting fucked up by the MC is something that I will never put up with again. Also, this cocksucker apologized after I got off stage. WHAT THE FUCK? Like, if I was in the audience with an amp and a guitar and just making noise throughout his act, then he gets offstage and i'm like. "You know I'm just playin." Get it straight brownskin, I don't like you, we're not friends. The only way you could just be 'messing' with me while I'm ON STAGE is if you were one of my friends (and none of my friends would ever put me through this) and I don't respect you enough.
Alright, after the MC situation, there's the fact that I got cut off half way through my act. That's right, just because management is incompetent and running late, they cut me off 10 minutes into a 20 minute act. Now, it's a managerial decision, which I might have made if I was in that situation. Then I remember the purpose of an OPEN mic is not to entertain a crowd and keep them coming back. During an open mic, the audience is only performers, as a proprietor (spelling has officially gone to shit, but fuck you, nobody reads this) you really shouldn't worry about people not enjoying the act on stage. Maybe he didn't appreciate my abortion jokes, or how I was ripping on the audience for having the collective intelligence of a yeast colony, I don't know. My point is, I need practice, and I can't get it without getting my fucking 20 minutes. The jokes are good, I know the jokes are good, but I need LOTS of practice to be able to deliver them in a context where people can feel comfortable laughing at them. So, in short, fuck you guys.

Few days ago a "friend" died of an overdoes. He'd been sober for 5 months and had "found god." That's what happens when you play the dope game. I really can't say I'm too sad to see him go. I never really liked him much and didn't know him that well either. But a couple of friends were good friends with him, they're sad to see him go. I guess the worst part is that he had been trying to stay sober and had been for five months. But sacrifices must be made. Hopefully his death will inspire others to stay sober... I really hope it does even though it rarely works that way.
On a lighter note, I'm having my eye surgury Monday! No more glasses for Jed. I'm very excited even though I'm probably going to have to pay for half of it. The only problem with it is that I'm getting a vicodin script. Not that that's really a bad thing, per se. But I'm going to have to try really really really hard not to abuse it. And if I get the craving, I've decided that I'm going to give the pills to my mom so that I won't fuck up my sobrity like I did when I got my wisdom teeth pulled. I had 5 wisdom teeth. I'm special.
Well, I'm going to try posting more again. Even if it's just stupid shit.

Last night, I was online, after my vision came back... or maybe it wasn't, thats not important. I was online and this girl that I know from school signed on. I havn't talked to her in months... Of course the first thing out of my mouth (hands) is "You wouldn't want to have sex would you?" Obviously she didn't say yes because she didn't have my screen name.... ... ... Long story short, she said yes.

I didn't bomb. It went rather well. I got laughs pretty much throughout the act, and my stage personality is slowly developing (like an autistic child. That's how it's developing, not what it is, you twit). About half of the people there were there to see me, I really did not expect such a huge response to me telling people "I'm doing standup this Friday." I'd feel better about my act if I had gotten laughs out of complete strangers, but I feel better about myself because so many people showed up. So with that kind of a diatribe going on in my brain, I guess I feel alot like I always do. Except that I have another solid comedy performance under my belt. I'm still amazed that so many people I know came to see me. They all said that it was 'pretty good' or 'pretty funny.' Whatever THAT fucking means. Oh well, I could bitch about anything (which I'm hoping is a good quality in a comedian, fuck, Dennis Miller got a career out of it.)
When I tell my dad about this he says the same thing. That's cool, I don't really expect him to say much. I do wish, though, that he'd wait until I accomplish something actually concrete before he says that he's 'proud of me.' Oh well, a relationship with a father that didn't raise you has all kinds of complications that I really don't want to go into. Except with my therapist. Which I don't have. He's said that he wishes he could've seen it. Yeah, well so do I. It's not a big deal though, we all do what we can.
I can't wait until I've got enough money to hire a bodyguard. Oh the jokes I would tell. I'm out.
Today, I'm not going to chose the depression!!! Fuck that. I can chose to be hostile and confused and hurt, but not depressed. Fuck a bunch of that. I have to be able to control my emotions; be able to deny my self the indulgance of being depressed. Today I will take a step forward, grow a little, leave the petty and the meaningless behind. Today I will strike out and my depression, beat it back to where ever the fuck it comes from. I can be strong, I have the will and the strength to overcome! Other people should not make me depressed. Sad? yes. Let down? a bit. But why go into hiding from somebody killing their self. Fuck this shit. I'm going to be strong today. Maybe, just mayby, this small step forward will lead to bigger things, and hopefully it will rub off on the people around me, show them that they dont have to live like that, not if they don't want to.
But that is the problem. Who would want to leave the comfort and security of depression? Who wants to give up everything they know and take a chance? Not many, thats who. But I have had a taste of the unknown. I have felt joy! JOY! Never before have I felt joy. Never before have I had the urge to continue life; continue to see what else there is to accomplish, what else there is to see. I feel that I've seen it all, but I'm not fooling myself anymore! There is much more to life then what I've 'seen.' I have seen things many other people have not, but that was all false, simply chemicals disrupting chemicals, chemicals changing perseption.
I feel empowered with this new view of life! I feel like I should spread it to others, to open their eyes... But, alas, I can not. All I can do is state my experiance, my strength, and my hope. Maybe somebody, some day, some where will catch a glimpse of what there is. Maybe that person will take a risk and leave her false security behind.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him (her) drink.

I did end up taking a sleeping pill (temazepam) last night... I was so tired and worn out from yesterday that I went right to sleep and because of the sleeping pill, slept all night... even slept an hour late. But that's ok, it's only work.
Apr 24, 2003
Lucky for me, my homicidal urges of last night have mostly gone away. I could just see myself answering the phones last night... boy, would I have been fired. Oh! And to top off this shitty morning my coffee cup has a fucking little slit in it, dripping ever so slowly. I want to go home. =(
Expect more from me today... it's going to be a long one.
Apr 23, 2003
I've been going fucking crazy today... my mind's going about 50 different directions and not passing through my normal "filters." Don't really know what the filter thing is, but I'm thinking things that I really don't usually think... at least not as seriously as I have been... I mean, I'm so not a violent person, but I just want to beat the fuck out of someone and fuck their lifeless corpse. Maybe that's going a bit far... maybe not. Nothing wrong with a little necrophilia now and then.
I'd eat that shit in half a minute. On that note, I'm signing out. Gotta work on the Comedy bit for Friday.
Apr 20, 2003
Who fucking cares. To all you stoners out there: drugs are bad for you. Actually, let me rephrase that... Drugs are bad for me. Unlike you lucky fuckers out there who can do drugs and function, I can't. When I'm using drugs I don't give a fuck about anyone, including myself, I sit around not doing shit all day, and I get really depressed. I know this sounds exactly like me when I'm sober, but believe me, it's about a thousand times worse. Anyways, if I could do drugs and still function in (or even out of) society, I would.
By the way... a simple day of a month is not a reason to get high. If you are going to get high, do it because life sucks. Thats all I have.

This morning, my mom comes in and wakes me up, she asks me, "Where were you last night?" Obviously I was sleeping. She then tells me that when she came home the front door was open, my light was on in my room, and I was nowhere to be found. Perturbed, I tell her I don't know what she is talking about but that I had the strangest dream... Reaching down to scratch my knee, I realize that I'm wearing pants, odd, normally I sleep nude. Remvoing my comforter I see that I'm wearing blue jeans with mud on the knees and on my seat. Upon further investigation, I find muddy shoes and a few thorn pricks on my left hand. So I have come to the conclusion that ambien is bad for me.
"Faggot Vegans. Because they eat meat."
I knew it was gold.
Anyway, back to the grindstone for next Friday.

Imagine how much porn you could hold on 6 terabytes!! I think that's what my company should start doing... put all that damn space to good use!
Good News: They sure fuck me up!
I really don't like to get fucked up anymore. The thing is, is that I'm trying to get on a decent sleep schedule. I'm not very good about that, so I got my doctor to perscribe me Ambien. Last night I ended up taking 6! The first one at about 8pm and the last three at 3am. I'm kinda pissed. The pills make my body tired, but I'm usually tired so they don't do much there, and they do nothing for the 'racing thoughts' that keep me awake... On second thought, they do do something to my thoughts... I'll have to post some of the crazy shit I wrote last night while I was reformatting my computer. Fucking crazy, incoherent ramble.
With that being said, it's back to work for me!
Played some basketball last night. I know what you're thinking. "Oh great, you got some exercise, you pathetic fuck." No, it wasn't great. It wasn't great at all. I took an elbow to my lip and almost lost some teeth. I took a chunk out of my lip courtesy of someone's elbow and my two front teeth. Did you know you can swallow a pint of blood before you get sick?
So as a result of my swollen lip, I'm thinking about not doing standup on Friday. I dunno, if it gets much bigger, talking will be difficult. I know many, many people will be dissapointed if I don't show. That, and the terrorists win. So I'm gonna try.
I'm fucking tired.

None shall be on the computer after 11pm... None but me.
Fucking bitch. I really fucking hate when she tries to run my life, tells me how much time on the computer I can have because it's not healty for me. What she doesn't understand is that I have an addictive personality. Anything I do, and enjoy doing, I will do to an extreme. When I did drugs, I did that to an extreme, when I was in to school, I did that to an extreme, when I get on the computer, I do that all the time because I have don't have shit else to do. Fucking bitch.
On a lighter note, Doc finally perscribed me sleeping pills, Ambian to be exact. Now, instead of putting up with her bullshit, I can go to sleep. Fucking Bitch.
Also, when a chick at the other end of a 900 number says she'll call you back. She's lying and just doesn't like you. Pay attention, some of us have to learn these things the hard way.

Let's talk about Nate's diarrhea. On second thought, lets not...
I know! This damn time change! All you people in Indiana and Arizona are some lucky fuckers. Having to get up an hour early sucks. Now the autumn time change is really great, get to sleep an extra hour, it gets dark earlier, and all sorts of good stuff. Makes me miss the wintertime already. I love winter! It's all cold and dark and dreary... just the way I like it. I miss the snow... ... ... I don't really, I live in Texas and don't actually get any snow. But I used to live in Michigan and, boy, do I know snow. I remember making 'forts' in the snow. Digging under the rather large banks that the road-scraper-salter-things would leave, I could get quite the tunnel system going. Here in Texas it only ices. And when it does ice, all of Texas shuts down. And I mean completely. It's really quite humorous. Businesses close, nobody goes on the roads, everything just shuts down. But then again, my work is one of those places that closes down, so I guess it's not that bad. Speaking of work, I think I'm ready to go home, got an extra half-hour in and if I leave now I will make it just in time for my AA meeting. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
One thing that really freaks chicks out is when you’re having sex to music, and you start singing along. I’ve never met a girl that can just keep going when you do this. Like having sex to weeezer, and you’re all, “Suzanne, you’re all that I wanted of a girl…” Sublime, “Uhh! And the girls caress me down.” O fortuna, or In the hall of the mountain king. This next one doesn’t really apply to heterosexual relationships, but how about Cher, “Do you believe in life after love?!” You gotta say it like you mean it.
I need better songs for examples. Hit the tagboard or link section to let me know.
Also, thanks to a hearty dose of red-orange diarrhea, Matt is on his way out of China. He's camoflaged with everything they have there, it was a beautiful scheme, if I do say so my self. And I do say so. All praise goes to the salsa I had a few days ago.
On another note, I registered for summer classes yesterday. I'm taking a three week class on Cohen Brothers movies and two summer classes, one on writing fiction and one on american literature. Having fun with my radar gun. I also applied for a stocking position at Target serving freedom fries all over the southland. It feels good to be doing things again.
Speaking of things. I ate an entire bottle of hot salsa yesterday, and I'm shitting liquid fire today. I really need to stay away from the mexicans. The nice thing about diarrhea is you get a tiny christmas every hour or so. The greatest part is that my shit is almost red, so it helps with the christmas spirit on my end.
I think I just figured out how to help Matt escape from China...

So, shark attacks aside, I think that Friday night was one of the worst experiences of my young life. You guys know that dream, where you're naked in school and everyone is laughing at you. You know how good you feel when you wake up, and realize that it didn't really happen? Well, a failed stand up act is kind of like that, except you don't get to wake up. After I got off the stage, one of the guys at the bar asked me if I was going to hang out. I shook my head and laughed. It'll be at least 3 weeks before I can show my face in that place again. By then, maybe they've forgotten what an incredibly small penis I've got.
Ok, I've gotta take a shit. All that's coming out of me is from Wendy's, Taco Bell, and Krispy Kreme, so it should be colorful at the very least. Keep whoring yourself out to get us hits Jed. Yay for AIDS!
On that note

I think one of the fundamental differences between men and women is their definition of love. Women seem to be looking for fairytale love, the kind that doesn’t exist. Where a guy’s gonna meet you and pay for dinner and drinks and then take you back to his apartment, and not fondle you in the car and have sex with you with a condom on and not blow his load in your face. You know... chivalry. Guys, on the other end, just want 2 things in a woman, someone that they can stand to fuck, and someone that they can stand to listen to.
Snow is the worst thing mother nature ever conceived of. Horrible. It’s just patient rain, that’s all it is. Rain that waits until you’re inside to get you wet. And it doesn’t clean things like rain does, it just collects in the most repugnant, filthy congealed messes of pavement waiting for some poor soul to think it’s ice and step in it. Splosh. Fucking gutter snow acts like an office temp with a bad attitude, like it's just pissed about it's elongated step in the precipitation cycle.
Alright gang, I'm gonna try to memorize my shit and maybe eat some doughnuts. If you read the site, please, please, post on the tagboard. We get so lonely.

On a lighter note, I got a book in the mail today! Marquis de Sade's The 120 Days in Sodom. Now if any of you know what that is, which I highly doubt, I am reading it for informational purposes only. For those of you that don't know, you can go here to read some of it, or all of it if you have the stomach for it. But beware, this book is not for the feint of heart or the sane of mind. Seriously folks, most people would probably try to hang me for reading it. Luckily the days of lynching are over, so now I only have to worry about getting shot. You win some, you lose some... (or in my case you lose them all.)

So my sore throat hasn't gotten much worse, and I'm slightly less worried about SARS than I was last night. This is mostly courtesy of an article someone sent me, which I will link you to.....now. It's funny, I promise. Oh, and individual posts to this log do not represent the views of Cephaladon Studios. What I'm trying to say is: Jed's going to hell. That's probably my final thought.
Last week I was kidnapped by an international cartel of Taiwanese gangsters and shipped back to their country to work as an underage prostitute. Do you know hard it is to act like a 10 year old girl when you're 5' 10" and are obviously sporting a sausage under your mini skirt? The customers weren't too picky though; as long as I made an attempt to act like an underage girl full of innocene they didn't mind. Apparently, being full of innocence also means being full of man chowder. It wasn't too bad, tasted like Thai food.
I am, however, almost out of makeup, and the money I make selling my man-snatch on the streets isn't enough to cover it. If I don't get all dolled up the customers will be able to tell I'm not really a little girl and I fear I'll be drawn and quartered in the town square. Homosexuality is illegal here apparently. Not that I'm gay, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Send any and all donations to Nate or Jed. Preferablly Jed, last time Nate handled my money I ended up losing a pinky to the Yakuza, but that's a different story.
Satanism is not what the media has made it out to be. Where Christianity has its Ten Commandments, Satanism has the Nine Satanic Statements, the Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth, which state the Satanic law of the jungle for social interaction, and instead of Christianity's Seven Deadly Sins, Satanism has the Nine Satanic Sins. If you are actually interested and not too offended, read more at Satanism 101. This wasn't meant to pursuade anyone into thinking something different, but after I lost that well thought out, unbias, long, and openminded post I really don't give a fuck.
Satanism is about living life for yourself and for life.
Most Satanists do not believe in Satan.
I'm really pissed I lost that post.
Mar 30, 2003
On a slightly sadder note... I know I'm American because I'm worried that I have SARS (Would you like to know more?) Even though I'm at least 500 miles from any infected area. Oh well, at least I don't advocate setting an entire country on fire for no apparent reason. Enough anti-war rhetoric from me though, for a sense of unbiaseditudeness, here's a pro war link for all of you.
And here's a sample:
Q: What about conscientious objectors, people with a moral objection to killing?
A: These namby-pamby boys don't object to killing, they just have an irrational fear of being killed. However, since cowards are no good on the front lines of a war, they can be jailed for the (hopefully indefinite) duration and forced to produce useful goods like bombs, bullets, and boots.
Q: Why do you keep referring to soldiers as "boys?" Can't women fight too?
A: One wonderful thing about war is that everyone has a useful job to do, a proper place in society. Women are a liability in battle, and their proper role is to provide sexual services to the soldiers on leave, make war goods in factories, and produce babies who will grow up to serve as soldiers.
You heard the man, if you don't have one in the oven ladies, you're doing your country a disservice. That's my final thought.
If you are over 18 years of age please check out "Rate my Gas Mask."
Nate votes for number 1. I, myself, am going for number 8... what do you think?
There was a guy at the party with long blonde hair and wearing a black trenchcoat. He was a drug dealer from Madison. I don't normally introduce people like this, but that's what he said.
"Where do you live?"
"Madison."
"Do you go to school there?"
"No, I sell drugs."
I was interested at this point. People that take themselves seriously tickle me in a way that other things just... don't.
"Really. What drugs do you sell?"
"Pot."
Obviously at the top of the drug totem pole in Madison. Fuck you, Trenchcoat Douchebag.
Then there were these two wasted chicks just begging for dick. It was ugly. So were they. One of them had horizontal zippers on her shirt. To me, that defeats the purpose of a zipper. As a fashion statement though, it did make her look like a two dollar whore, so props if that's the image you want. These two lovely ladies hadn't gotten past the maturity point in high school where you realize that cliques exist, and are able to name them. It's fun, don't get me wrong, but to be in college at a party and telling people about the cliques in your high school, just seems sort of juvenile to me.
"And there were the preps, and the jocks, and the like, band geeks, and the punks..." No shit. There's a reason drunk chicks end up with cocks in their mouths. At some point even they realize they need to stop talking.
