    star wars.
    xfiles kicked butt.  December 22, 2012 we will all die.  only God can
    prevent it.  what has changed?  i’m looking at the same screen here.
    just the words i’m writing are different.  i know this page is too long
    right now.  i’ll clean it up later.  remove some old news.  but i
    dont fee like archiving it right now.  i want to write.  i want to
    write a story.  but i’m too lazy to finish it.  so i’ll just write my
    excerpt

    As i walked out of the restaurant I felt compelled to
    turn completely around and look and so that I did.  And there sitting on
    the bench was one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen.  I threw up
    my hand and said, “Good Night.”  I turned to continue to my car and from
    behind me I hear this ever increasingly loudness of footsteps.  Even
    running at times.  “Excuse me.” “Yes”  “Why did you just do that?”
    “Do what?”  “Just throw up your hand say bye and continue on?”  “I’m
    sorry, it just felt like what I should have done.  I didn’t mean to bother
    you”  “Oh no, you didn’t bother me.  I was just wondering because….”
    “Why didn’t you come talk to me?”  “I didn’t want to bother you” “But I
    already said you weren’t bothering me”  “But you just now told me that, I
    didn’t know that then”  “Would you have come to speak to me?” ”  I’m
    not sure”  “Why not?”  “What would I say?  I would walk up to you
    and say Hi, How you doing?  well, have a good night.  I hate small
    talk.”  “small talk is better than nothing.”  “maybe so”
    “What would you have me say?”  “Come and say something, compliment me on
    something”  “Its no point.  what could i possibly say to you?”
    “tell me you like my hair, or my perfume or anything!”  “Like you haven’t
    heard that a billion times now?  You know what I would say to you?  I
    would say you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.  And don’t take
    that lightly.  I’m very picky.  for me to say you’re beautiful is the
    top thing I can say.  You could be fine, or pretty or whatever, but nothing
    tops ‘beautiful’ for me.  So for me to come to you and say You’re a
    beautiful lady and then walk away would be a joke to me.  I can’t possibly
    flatter you in any way.  I can’t astonish you with my good looks.”  “hehe
    you could catch me with your personality”  “ok, but i can’t catch you by
    coming up to you and saying You’re a beautiful woman”  “why not?”
    “Because you must hear that every 5 minutes.  it would mean nothing to you
    for me to come up to you and give you the highest compliment I know how to give
    to a lady”  “It would mean something to me because YOU are the one coming
    to me and telling me I’m beautiful”

    I sometimes walk to
    the beat of a playing song in my own house.
    so i dont know.
    I think i wanna mail
    them.  I wanna ask if its nothing to do sexually then I want to know when
    are they gonna put pics of girls modeling them in their magazine.  All i
    wanna do is see how they fit, honestly.  If only i could find an email
    address…  an xfiles timeline
    and even a lone gunman timeline.  i wanted to write more but everyone wants
    something.  so it’s 12:33 am now and this is all i’ve written here.
    sorry.

    come see us wednesday night!

    someone join
    me in going to animazement in durham
    saturday!

    ok it’s late and i
    dont want to stay up much later.  see i told you i couldn’t keep last week
    up.  i just wanted to post this cool
    pic cuz there’s just soo much
    to see.

    come see us saturday night!  philly bistro, wake forest nc.

    I wonder how long i
    can keep it up posting every night this week.  knowing me, this will be the
    last one in a row.  but who knows.  tomorrow, i need to go shopping
    for a new set of cases for some of my equipment.  i want to get 2 smaller
    cases so it’s easier to carry my stuff.  visitors to our show saturday
    night will notice a new speaker system.  i hope it works well.  if i
    can find some cases i like tomorrow, i can transport it all in my car i think.
    that’s great.  and these new speakers rock, even rivaling my jbl’s.
    and i can pick them up without giving myself a hernia, almost anyway.  hmmm
    i’m playing our last show on them now to see how it sounds, and its real nice.
    i have to pump up the bass though since they dont produce as much bass as the
    jbl’s.  one day i’ll get a set of subs to go with these speakers.  and
    another amp.  i wish i had about 3000 dollars and i’d be happy.  i
    could have a nice nice setup.  ahh well.  i’m debating on whether to
    record our last show into the computer or not.  i’m leaning towards not.
    we cant keep recording and recording.  what’s gonna be the point when we
    get a hundred copies of the same song?  i’ll probably record Saturdays
    show, there’s gonna be some new songs we haven’t played yet.  i might even
    take out my feedback destroyer of the loop, it’s breaking up some sounds i dont
    want it to.  did you know front page gives a suggesting spelling of gonad
    for the word gonna?  gonad.  hmm i just found a guy selling some racks
    used.  i sent him a desperate email to tell him i’d come to his house
    tomorrow to get them if the price was right.  otherwise, i might just go
    without the racks for this show and do it like i did when we were starting out.
    just being careful and taking it one at a time.  cept, my cd player is
    really designed to be rack mounted.  gonads.  ahh well.  in case
    you didnt know, i publicize on
    www.raleighmusic.com
    , and we have a fan mailing list.  visit
    groups.yahoo.com and search for the singermercy group.  i even mailed out a
    snail mail letter earlier this week to one member who didn’t have email.
    i’m still hungry.  i only ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich tonight
    for supper.  think i’ll see what i can scoop up.

    Ok, i’ve been
    enlightened.  japanese people enjoy taking pics of their pet rabbits with
    objects.  got me.
    check out the
    pics.
      but
    this
    one
     is my favorite.  i mean, what the hell is that on its head?
    check out this funny flash
    animation. 
    ok, heres another
    wierd
    one.  and even paige had to chime in tonight with
    a great pic!  yes,
    this made me
    chuckle.  and this one is
    linkworthy too.
    ok, i hate to do this. i’m to tired now to stay up.  and its early, only
    11:40 or so. heres a
    link
    to a bunch more
    links.

    the
    hubble has sent
    its new pictures since it had it’s recent upgrade.  it is naive and foolish
    for one to say aliens do not exist.
    just look at this picture.
    notice that huge galaxy there the pic is centered on?  now, naive one, look
    in the background at the zillion other galaxies just sitting there in the
    distance.  some so small they are a speck.  some close enough to see
    in detail the spiraling arms of it.  imagine the ones that are too far away
    to see in the picture.  imagine centering the image on one of these
    galaxies and noticing the endless background images again.  and so on and
    so forth.  how much of a wrinkle in time do you know?  lets just pose
    this question.  what if the universe is a big loop.  and one of the
    galaxies you see there in the picture is actually our own galaxy?  how does
    that change your outlook?

    ok, this one was
    just too funny

    Friday, May 3, 2002 – 10:26 pm – ok, so i’m bored. lets
    take a look at stile tonight and see what the random image viewer will pull up.
    Here are some that i liked.  these images are clean, but the ads you see on
    the pages may not be, you are warned. in fact, maybe you shouldn’t even click on
    these pictures.

    color color color color color

    you have no idea what i had to go through to get to those
    pictures.  you just don’t want to know.  anyway

    so my cat just stank
    it up one time and i had to break out the Lysol spray.  i wonder how much
    companies pay microsoft to put them in their spell checkers so that you know to
    capitalize them.  last weekend, i went on one of my yearly trips to busch
    gardens.  hopefully one of several this year since i have a season pass.
    was great as usual, but the crowds i dont like.  i want to go on a weekday
    next time so there wont be so many people hopefully.  it still stinks.
    maybe that’ll help.  now it’s time for my randomlies.  i have a cd
    close to me that is facing the opposite direction i remember placing it in.
    argh, i need something wierd to say. hmm i’m hard pressed for random thoughts
    now worth writing.  whats wrong with me?  usually i can fill up this
    whole screen with crap.  not that i’m not thinking thoughts.  but they
    arent interesting enough.  i need a haircut.  i went to work today.
    i went out last night to see a band but there was no band there.  am i part
    of a band?   i need to place my order tomorrow for my speakers.
    our next show is may 11.  i need to add some people to our mailing list.
    i remixed a song for mercy last night.  i got home at 11:30 last night.
    i stayed up till 1 talking (hi mere) and working on that song.  she’s gonna
    sing to it in a wedding this weekend.  see, none of this is interesting.
    maybe it’s because i already know it.  i went grocery shopping tonight.
    i want some ice cream for desert.  a group of mexicans came to my house
    last night, got me to come outside, pointed a gun to my head and demanded money.
    i asked how much, he said he didn’t know, maybe 20 bucks.  i gave him 25.
    someone drove by and saw these strange men in my yard and called the cops.
    they came and took them away.  good thing this was all a dream.  i
    want ice cream.  i have attention deficit disorder.  or  i have a
    bad memory.  i palindrome i.  i wore my mars bands night out t-shirt
    to work today.  why is this web page so one sided?  why dont you write
    something?  why dont you give me ideas of something to do with this page.
    is this what you enjoy reading? i won a dollar in the lottery.  i have
    forgotten about my ice cream.
