Stop hiding behind giant pinecombs, you Ewok!

STUPID CRAPPY COMPUTER

dangit!!!!!!!!!!
this morning i went to write a heartfelt entry about the lay-offs yesterday, and when i went to publish it, my computer froze and IE crashed. peice of crap!


so here it is in a nutshell:

50 people got laid off in my building
it sucked for them
i didn't get laid off
it didn't suck for me
nothing was said about it
that kind of sucked

later that day i met up with a person about a rideshare that i met through a rideshare website.
she is cool
i will save money
now i can think of all the things i can buy with that money
i will be less of a burden on the environment
i will save little animals

DJ BETA MASTA IN COMMAND


this last saturday i had my first live dj gig at dan and heather's housewarming party.

i started off playing some mellow stuff like marvin gaye and donny hathaway, but then i finally busted out the led zeppelin and black sabbath to really kick the party into gear. it was all uphill from there. laura watling and river played awesome sets. only nice, non-snobby people showed up, making things perfect for the entire evening.

0101


here is my top five for this friday...


1. colgee back in town


2. playing a show at the hemlock in SF with an additional 4 piece percussion section and a real life frenchman.


3. odds of getting laid-off from my job slightly lower than yesterday.


4. "virtual light" by william gibson


5. carolinas on franklin hookin' me up with the extra guac and sour cream (at no additional charge)


-leon

np: "kick his balls out" - free loan investments

THE END MAY BE NEAR

things aren't looking so hot here at the job.

monday i may no longer be
stay tuned...

FRIDAY TOP FIVE


here is my top five for friday:


1. laura watling and the frenchmen : shelflife recording wonders team up with northern california's indie-pop sensation to form the ultimate music super group. for one show only! coming to some dive bar in SF on july 25th.



2. stevie wonder compilation cdr i made for myself from a 4 cd box set of his. hardly any hits, all overlooked by the mainstream, yet brilliant songs.



3. el azteca : for those of you who don't know, i commute and work in roseville. it's been tough finding a good mom-and-pop restaurant in the land of strip-malls and housing developments, but i finally found this great mexican place on foothills blvd (if anyone is interested) where they probably have the best mexican food in the entire sacramento region.



4. buzz : http://www.buzzmachines.com. a while back a friend of mine mentioned this program called buzz that all the techno kids are using to make "laptop-music". i really didn't think anything of it until recently when another friend of mine asked me to bust some phat rhymes over some beat he was making. it turned out he was using the same exact program, and showed me what it was capable of. 808, 909 drum machines. analog synth emulators and tons of crazy effects, sequencer. and it's frikin free!


5. cats

CRAPPY CRAPP CRAPP


man. i messed up my old custom template. i'll change it when i get around to it.

IKEA = BLISS

yesterday i was getting upset that the world seems to be coming closer and closer to an end, and yet, many of the people i've come across lately are more concerned with filling their houses with cheap, stylish Swedish furniture and making it the basis of all conversations. it was really bothering me.

so i was venting my frustrations to my pal ben via IM and he did a good job of chilling me the fuck out.

FullMetalAssault: i figure life won't be this good forever...we're young. we should have some fun, because we might all die soon anyway.
FullMetalAssault: if we don't die from a car accident then we'll probably die in some war. I think the country is going down the tubes. The roman empire only lasted 200 years. Stuff's getting pretty bad here.
FullMetalAssault: How much longer until it de-evolves into barbarianism and a Mad-Max survivalist way of life? Beats me, but I figure I just want to enjoy being a youngin' and doing some music and eating some burritos.
CoolPopKid: tight

supa' tight

SORRY CHUCK. IT'S TIME WE HAD A TALK

sorry it had to be this way chuck, but your shoes suck now. now owned by the evil nike empire and no longer made in the u.s.a., your shoes are made more crappy, they cost more and are made by little kids in indonesia.

oh and did i mention...

your shoes no longer come in my size.

out with the old, in with the new i guess. maybe we can still be friends.

love,
leon


ps. here is a picture of my hot new pair of shoes:

HOT ENOUGH FOR YA?

no. could you please make it hotter! jerk.

SEXUAL SIDE EFFECTS

no sex drive - bad
too much sex drive - could be bad
no erection - bad
perpetual erection - could be bad
suddenly become gay - could be bad
suddenly become straight - could be bad
suddenly become bi - good if you are female

BACK TO THE HIVE

i'm back at work again. it wasn't a long enough vacation. all i did was laze around in the 100+ heat in my non-air-conditioned apartment. it was nice to do nothing, but i should have at least left town for a few days.
