SETI@home has been out for some time, but for some reason I never signed up. Feeling the guilt, after watching a SETI discussion group on T.V., I installed the screen saver and let it run all last night. The data I was processing was recorded in December of 2000.

I'm going to add Chris Lea, my cousin, my boss, my landlord, my punching bag, to the drunkenfish. I don't think he will be posting at all, but he wanted to check out blogger, so I added him just in case he gets the inspiration. No more introductions for people on the drunkenfish and no one will be offended or anything if they are not added to blog links on any page. I think that the drunkenfish is a different beast than tanque. John has become the drunkenfish for me with his excellent posting, but I value all my friends on the drunkenfish regardless if they post or not, so with that... cheers. Jim S., let me know if those girls you talked about are interested in posting. They are very welcome here. Run to the fish. Run to the fish. All are welcome in the fish.

Well, I couldn't go to bed without mentioning my God act thingy even though I'm sure if anyone read it, they just gave a distasteful look at the screen and moved on. I guess I just know the people (Ned and John) talkin' about him or her or it (God), well enough to know that they know how much of a teenage brat I am about that subject. I was thinking maybe they would find humor in my assness. I hope that's the case. Anyway, good night all.

Hey! Congrats, Ned. You made the "blogs of note."

Amos - I can't help thinking how easy it will be for the government to manipulate the media and vice versa when all they have to do is make deals with a few individuals. That's one big part of what scares me so much about all this loosening of limitations for media expansion. The media argues that with the internet in place that no one is cut off from information, which is a good point, but I still think that too much power lies in print, radio, and television to let the expansion limitations disappear. Thanks for the newsclip.

The End

Sunday, April 22, 2001

I finally finished "Vampire The Masquerade -Redemption". Wish I could say that was a cool novel or something, but no... video games are about all I spend my free time on these days. So far, I don't have any paying customers, but there are several on the horizon and I'm doing sample sites to hook them into a deal. I'm charging about $1000 per standard site with hosting included for a year. We're all still working out the kinks in our process at the moment, but I'm hoping the company will be in full swing in about a month. The company is made up of my Cousin Chris - Technical Director; His wife Bridget - Operations Director; Her brother John - Sales Director; and moi - Web Designer. (I'm not actually legal to work yet, but that should be coming along soon as well) I'm pretty excited about the whole thing and my end of the business is ready to go, so maybe now is the time that I should be sitting back and enjoying a good book. Our company site, isn't exactly finished yet and to tell the truth, I'm not real happy with it, but I'm experimenting alot more on the other sites that I'm making and hope to improve the company's site by the time we're up and running.
I've posted a few pictures. I can't wait to take the camera out on the town one night. Anyway, I've been moved by reading everyone's posts lately and wish I had something to add, but not much is going on with me and adult matters are not my specialty.

Sean - I noticed that Drunkenbattleblog was blank on netscape soon after it was created and didn't know why. However, my parents use netscape exclusively and I haven't felt the inspiration to fix the problem. I suppose if anyone has a moment to waste on reviewing the code, I will listen and correct it, but I just can't find the energy to address it myself for the reason of it being blank for my parents. (if my parents are reading this... trust me... there's nothing to see there anyway. Nobody has been drunk on the battleblog for sometime. I know they won't believe me, but I thought I 'd say it anyway)

My love to you and your mother, John. Send news at your convenience.

Dune the miniseries? Didn't know that was out. Didn't realize they were redoing Planet of the Apes either. Man, first I get all riled up about the same old political issues that everybody has been talking about for the last three years or so and then I'm all excited about these two sci-fis that apparently everyone has known about forever already. I need to start talking to other humanbeings, besides myself, for a change.

The F.C.C. is loosening it's rules on media expansion limitations and America's reality is about to be narrowed. I can't help thinking that the Republican atmosphere in the States is just handing over what remaining control they possess to the corporations. Actually, perhaps the Republicans are the corporations and are just loosening restrictions on themselves. Something funny is going on over there and I don't know whether my response should be shame or rage. What if in the future, this period in history is known as the Corporate Coup? The people have lost their voices and the corporations and the Repuppetcans are running amok.

Napster is funny as hell to me. Just mispell your artist or title slightly and lo and behold, there it is. do you want to find some U2? well, try "youtoo". Teenage dirtbag? how about teenage dirtbage. If you want any Lennon, just drop an "n" (Lenon)
Easter is only slightly different here. I wanted to dye eggs and hide them, but Bridget looked at me funny and said "Real eggs?" I said, "Yeah, what do you hide?" She said, "the kids here would start bawling and get mighty grumpy if they found real eggs instead of chocolate." By the way, I got a big chocolate egg with my name written with icing on it. Yum. I asked if they could just hide little bottles of jack around the yard for me, but I suppose that would be too expensive. Especially here.

I'm having fun tonight with my Google search on the main drunkenfish page. I like seeing for instance who used the word "fuck" more often. I'm sure I'll get bored with this soon and then it will be off to Ned's Google Search for more of the same. I wonder how many times Ned has said "Hurm".

I am feeling that the DrunkenBattleBlog is going to waste because Jim is busy moving, John is pretty much in the spirit of drunkeness 24/7 so he just posts on his site, and I live with a married couple and a little kid at the moment, so my drinking is way down. If anyone would like to be a part of DrunkenBattleBlog, for those times when you just need to get it out in an altered state, please e-mail me with the title "Bring it on". You don't have to post, but it will be there if you need it. From this point out DrunkenBattleBlog will be completely anonymous (no name tags). Unless you drunkenly reveal your identity on accident or on purpose. My e-mail is mindevol@hotmail.com

Remember, you don't have to post, but it will be there if you need it.
This offer is not just for Tanquers or Drunkenfishies.... Anyone is allowed to DrunkenBattleBlog!

Sonya - Congrats on the orange belt!!! I think an axe kick is a glam metal term referring to the process of balancing your axe on your foot while swigging a bottle of jack and then catapulting it into the air to catch just in time for the solo. *snort*, *laughter*, *groan* (Hey John, do you wanna take back that comment about me being funny now.)

Adam - I used to write music, but have temporarily put it aside until I figure out a decent way to make some money. You might think, "nonsense, you can play and do that at the same time," but actually I'm just talking about any money at the moment. No money, No instruments, No inspiration. I do Guitar/Bass/Harp/Sing/Songwriting.

Welcome Rob Corwin! Ned actually lets his new people prepare and launch with style, but not here in the Drunkenfish. You're just thrown into the tanque with the rest of the drunkenfish and told to swim. Rob is an old friend of Ned and mine from jr. high, high school and my first college. He is a very talented graphic artist with a masters in painting, so I'm hoping the blue and white bland screen that I stole from the blogger template will change as he learns html. I'd wait until he actually posts something before actually welcoming him in... (the drunkenfish doesn't have a very good reputation for introducing bloggers who actually blog.) Thank you John and Jim for sticking around with me... I have high hopes Rob will be around for awhile as well.

Welcome Adam! I hope you and the other tanquers don't mind links to your pages. I read (almost everyday) the entire tanque pretty religiously. Besides, I get a little jealous using Ned's page for links so much. It's not Tanque.org/df anymore, but I just can't ween myself away from Ned's teat.

A few of my thoughts on Pop music-

1. Pop music is time specific to the date in which a piece is written. It is geared to please the masses using compositional methods commonly used in the now to please the largest possible audience of the now.

2. A non-pop song can turn into a genre if others follow the styling, thus leading to sound-alike songs that can become pop as the genre progresses (or in most cases digresses). I think it would be a mistake to call the creators of a genre, pop. (Thus early punk will never be pop, but modern punk could creep its way to pop status if it isn't there already)

3. The Beatles were very pop in their early days because they borrowed compositional methods from popular culture, but I would have to say that alot of songs on Revolver through the White Album were not pop because of the experimentation involved.

4. Most of Pink Floyd was not pop because of the experimentation involved even though experimentation was popular, as was Pink Floyd.

5. Pop should not be mistaken for commercial. (Commercial being music created by a producer)

Shit... need to get back to work...
