I was watching the news today -- and, as watching the news brings about these kinds of thoughts -- we're starting to create our own future with our fiction. Or possibly we just know ourselves so well that we can come up with scenarios that are in fact possible, but because there's just so many... you can't guard against everything. Oh yeah, the thought: 12 Monkeys (plural: monkies? munkies? munks? munkmunk munkchimp chimpmonk)
There's a scene where he goes into NYC in the future... effectively present time. He's in a large department store - Macy's possibly? There's no one anywhere -- they've been wiped out by a virus and as the movie goes on you hear a bit more about the history end of things. Anyhow... its possible. "It'll never happen" -- what I thought before the mysterious "Anthrax" kept popping up. If that's out there -- what else could there be?
I don't want to sit in a figurative corner - or prognosticate about what potentially could happen... its just odd. Things have changed, my plans for life continue -- my goals remain in place. I just wonder if its all for naught - but I've thought that before. The sheer reward of living every day to its fullest (or at least to the next) and the experiences along the way -- make it all worthwhile =]

I think I have to make c:\temp the default directory for the nero files to work - and then all you have to do is copy all the "recommended downloads" into the same directory and clicka clicka da .nra file and it'll be good to burn.
Thanks to Jen, Brendon, and other associated people - had a blast last night. Rachel - hope ya had fun ;) "anything @ synthetic-x.com!"
I got to play with a ferret as well - great fun, they have cute little defined cat-like noses - he crawled right up my sleeve and down my back... =] Now if that isn't just a conglomeration of random thoughts I don't know what is. "I like sailboats. Sometimes I ride in sailboats. I like sailboats." Not to diss sailboats - no wait... it was "clipper ship" and it made you feel good that the little boy did his report. I don't know, I forget which movie thats from... but thats why this is great -- throwing things down as they enter my head.
As I am thinking about it... I hope this is an acurate representation of my persona. There's a good guy in here, he's just got an odd train of thought. =]
Have a great Sunday afternoon -- I'm off to see a man about a puppy.

Ok, think I got this all up and going again. I'll be putting some more news up and getting an actual feel for how I want the page to look, it'll be more then just text -- but working to get down what I have in my "list of stuff". Got the album files all uploaded - they're .nra or "CD files" from Nero v5+ - links should be up by later today from music/albums. Once all the .mp3 files are in the same directory as the .nra file you should be able to burn the CD right from there. All the CDText is already in there - [tracknames, album, artist, etc] as well - so if you have a car/home/portable that reads CDText - you should be able to see it. Also note they're pretty much all 80 minute mixes.
Working on DivX stuff - more to come on that, good news if your DVD player can do VCDs.
Games page in the works... in addition to everything else I have partially completed ;) heh
"HUAH!"

Ok... hell was amazing. Of course it took like an hour and a half to get in the door... but it was warm -- and that was good. I met sooo many people there. Props to Katie, Tiffany... and I have to confer with a few to get the rest for sure =] So everyone, thanks for the wonderful time. I will most likely dissapear for a couple of days - just doubled my ram to half a gig & got a mean GeForce3 w/ 3d glasses and put my -real- sound card in. I'll put up some screen shots or whatnot.
I'm thinking of a "gaming secton" because there's a lot of good games that people either haven't given the chance, or just plain don't know about.
www.motocityonline.com is one of them... if you're not able to download it (450mb) - talk to me.
DivX is an interesting thing, as is Kazaa, links will soon be up in the music/software section.

Sometimes I wish I could just do this with the entire site... I spent probably 3-4 hours last evening remaking the entire music page from scratch because I upgraded from GoLive 4.0 to 5.0 - and then went back to 4.0 when my code was getting corrupted somehow. It turns out I had forgotten to put: javascript: void in the href... heh - go fig. I'll give it another shot when I regain my strength.
Working on getting the text/styles standardized throughout the site. The board has been down due to a mishap with the hosting -- but its being worked on, should be back within a couple of days, I made sure to back it up... so shouldn't be a problem to restore. (open apple + p, for pray) in the meantime, check out the sleepyme discuss board.

I went to the Assylum on Saturday night for "Heaven". I had a blast, met a bunch of really cool people... some of which might even end up reading this. It was such a huge contrast to the Hippodrome. I felt completely at ease, in my element - it wasn't back to back people, and there was a huge music choice - 4 rooms going at once. The DJs were talented, they mixed and scratched, and the crowd went crazy. The Hippodrome strived to be 'as much like radio' as they could be. Where the Hippodrome played "Smells Like Teen Spirit" remixed by Fat Boy Slim -- the Assylum had Lithium & a phat beat, you could really dance to it.
I enjoyed my evening at the Assylum much more. I met people from all over, spread the news of the site and danced the night away. My quest: bring people from all walks of life together in one place, to share ideas, spread news... and maybe even learn a little from eachother. So there's my purpose statement... my goal - help me out. Spread the word... there's a calendar of events on the discussion board - and once you join you're free to post whatever =]

...and I realize these things on a Wednesday? Anyhow... Thursday night is College Night @ The Hippodrome so off I went with a few friends. I hadn't been before... wasn't sure of the setup, the crowd. I was surprised. It was absolutely gorgeous... like the great cinemas from the days of silent pictures. Though its colorscheme kinda had a modern taste to it. There were large men with earphones left and right. Straight laced and buff as they could be -- this was what they did. After going through a large domed entranceway the hall opened up to the top of the theater with bars tiered down the middle. All the way at the bottom was the dance floor, with the screen displaying the dancers, filtered and overlayed... back to the entire floor.. I started down the stairs, stopping at the top bar to order myself a 'RedBull.
Down at the floor it was crowded, I thought. Top 40s, some good techno mixed in for when you really want to go crazy... a lot of rap/hiphop... which can be hard to dance to... but it was all-right. My only qualm with the stream of music... was the interuption by the "much hyped" Hot Body Contest. A nice break if you're not wanting to dance, but it dragged on for those that did. I witnessed many a person that was struttin their stuff. I was just amazed at how well it worked. Most women just danced with eachother... and I could see why -- The typical (from my own generalizations and assumptions {and knowing the limitations of such, I proceed} ) "club male" shall simply wurm their way through the crowd and start gyrating against the desired "booty". If the young woman "accepts the gyrating it will result in a much longer gyrating between the two parties and the gyrating could abruptly end... or carry through the evening. If the young woman does not accept the gyration, she will only allow gyration for a short period of time... usually at least 30 secconds. If she does not accept the gyration, the "club male" shall then proceed through the crowd in search of another. -- because if they exposed themselves they would simply invite gyration... they would rather ease into the gyration... wanting to see how the other gyrated alone before proceeding to share in the gyration. So it went for much the night. Did I enjoy my night at the Hippodrome? I enjoyed myself, made some interesting inferences... and have yet more things to ponder. =]

wow, week dun and dood it again. Created the people, music pages... made a discussion board - however it is full of banners and popups. I'm working on getting some CGI space so I can have my own, add-free, board. For now... try the moving windows  on the music page. I can't serve the files, but if you're good - you'll know what to do with the song titles.

...and like that - its the end of the week. Wasn't it just Monday? I guess thats a good thing though... been working on the site here and there. If I can get the script actually working - should be a discussion board coming :] Fixing the little nitpicky's - working on creating the music page and revamping the movies page(s).

Wow, its that time again. Monday morning - bright and early... and who woulda thought I'd need to be up earlier then normal tomarrow. I sure didn't. That is why its when it is and I'm doing this instead of sleeping already. I had a fairly short weekend, yet very long... feel like I got a lot done, and nothing at the same time. The fall makes all roads longer...
