everything in its right place

death by design 2002-10-14 11:27:20 ET okay im going to skip all the stuff about what a happy great day i just had with doktor242 because HIS STUPID MAC ERASED MY ENTRY so basically it all sums up to : 1.we spent all day working on music on his novation nova 2. hopefully within 6 months we'll have a nice place with lots of gear and comic books 3. i dont spend enough time with my friends, i spend way too much time with whatever male decides its their turn to run my life. no offense to any males currently running my life, but... its a repeated pattern and i'd really like to get started on that comic book i've been putting up with for three years now. 4. i have reached some kind of content equilibrium involving my friends/place in life/happiness (except for when STUPID iBook's delete my journal entries , feh)... today was an absolutely beautiful day, crystal blue sky, feels like a florida winter, makes me miss home... spent the day effing with music (i now worship Digital Poodle) and played Magic the Gathering (G33kc0re).... there were more stars out last night than i've ever seen in NYC... ever... heh. even stars.. and i was saying a bunch of mushy stuff about how much i like my friends and (for the first time in a long time) i am not semi-suicidally depressed... despite what this mac is trying to do to me... sure i still have issues.. but im capable of stepping out of the situation for long enough to see that things arent really that bad. maybe its just such a beautiful day i cant help but be an optimist... i have my two best friends (in ny) Justine (Insomnia) and Chris (Doktor242) as well as a great cast of friends (many of which showed up to my party).. my job sucks but whats new, at least i have business cards to give my phone number out on, which makes me a fully ordained minister in the church of PIMP.... i'm not sick anymore (i had tonsillitis, severe, two weeks ago, i thought i was going to die) ... so without further ado while i'm being mushy about my friends... i propose: TWO NEW YORK SK MEETS SK MEET #1: (short notice but humor me) - DIGIT is coming down to da city... he'll get here probably 6 or 7 (correct me if i'm wrong, digit?) if everyone wants to show up at web2zone we could all go out to dinner, and marvel at his odd connecticut ways (yer not from round here, are ya, boy?) he's bringing his friend who just joined sknet (screen name to follow)... so everyone should come, he looks like a really neat kid, (for a gearhead :P)and if he isn't we can always get a pretty penny for him in the underground slavery market .. (muahaha)... then drinks are on me AND PROPOSED SK MEET #2 - MY BIRTHDAY!! thats right, everyone is invited to come to a MIDLIFE (uh, i mean midnight?) CRISIS LAN PARTY. Death By Design is turning the big 2-0... *shudder*... so in BLATANT REBELLION against becoming a Growed-Up, i have invited anyone who wants to come to Web2zone (also where i'm dragging poor digit probably) to play Quake 3 , Counterstrike, Unreal, Starcraft, etc. on the cybercafes network from 9-12... there will be plenty BAWLS caffeine beverage... i think the computer time is only $4, for anyone who doesnt have $$ i can spot because the more the merrier.... FOR ME TO SHOOT... muahhahaa..... for anyone who doesnt know , Web2zone is located in Cooper Square right next to the Big Black Cube on 3rd Avenue and 8th Street, the Astor Place (8th St. NYU) stop on the 6, N, R... further directions can be obtained from myself or Insomnia... Web2zone hosted the World Cyber Games last week, it was a blast... so its a pretty nice joint needless to say.. the festivities of the weekend following remain a mystery to me... okay... nuff of playin sk.net cheerleader, i'm off to play with da nova... later kidz

bio 2002-10-14 11:33:06 ET I'll be there for your birthday, I might be there tonight. But, if you're hanging around web2zone ... uhh, only go out to dinner at around 7 in case some rowdy kids like myself decide to show up. And I'm not sorry for running your life.

The Joker 2002-10-14 11:39:42 ET Glad to hear you'll be working on your comic. Nova huh? Dont suppose you guys will be uploading any samples of these experiments will you? Oh an' g;ad to hear you're in a good place. -The Joker

Furax 2002-10-14 11:48:27 ET i have to work fri. the 25th but i'm free the rest of that weekend to hang out... ...i'm your friend too... ;-P

Insomnia 2002-10-14 12:37:53 ET More details on Lorraine's bday to follow because *I* am running her life.. . ::grins::

DefektivUnit 2002-10-14 14:02:36 ET awww... i want to go to a LAN party... all the people here are lame... or i'm lame... one of the two.

doktor242 2002-10-14 15:08:56 ET okay im going to skip all the stuff about what a happy great day i just had with doktor242 because HIS STUPID MAC ERASED MY ENTRY "This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been attributable to human error." -HAL 9000 2001: A Space Odyessy i dont spend enough time with my friends, i spend way too much time with whatever male decides its their turn to run my life. no offense to any males currently running my life, but... Although I don't like the fact that someone other than Inosmnia and I are running your life, I'm sure the boys who run and have run it have generally meant well. That having been said, I miss you when you're not around, and having as cool a time as we have for the past couple of days has made it clear ot me that I don't want you to disappear so often! :) i'd really like to get started on that comic book i've been putting up with for three years now. So do it! Your ideas are very good. i have reached some kind of content equilibrium involving my friends/place in life/happiness You're hovering at 90%, but that last 10% is the hardest ground to cover (except for when STUPID iBook's delete my journal entries , feh)... HUMAN ERROR today was an absolutely beautiful day, crystal blue sky, feels like a florida winter, makes me miss home... spent the day effing with music (i now worship Digital Poodle) and played Magic the Gathering (G33kc0re).... there were more stars out last night than i've ever seen in NYC... ever... heh. even stars.. and i was saying a bunch of mushy stuff about how much i like my friends and (for the first time in a long time) i am not semi-suicidally depressed... despite what this mac is trying to do to me... sure i still have issues.. but im capable of stepping out of the situation for long enough to see that things arent really that bad. maybe its just such a beautiful day i cant help but be an optimist... i have my two best friends (in ny) Justine (Insomnia) and Chris (Doktor242) as well as a great cast of friends (many of which showed up to my party).. Aww, we love you too! Today was a fantastic day, even doktor cavedweller was happy to get out into the sun! It's nice to see that ou're looking up about things, no reason to be so grim. my job sucks but whats new, at least i have business cards to give my phone number out on, which makes me a fully ordained minister in the church of PIMP.... i'm not sick anymore (i had tonsillitis, severe, two weeks ago, i thought i was going to die) ... heh, pimpin ain't easy. ;) so without further ado while i'm being mushy about my friends... i propose: TWO NEW YORK SK MEETS SK MEET #1: (short notice but humor me) - DIGIT is coming down to da city... he'll get here probably 6 or 7 (correct me if i'm wrong, digit) That's thursday? Cool. I'll be there. Buy me booze. I'm poor until friday. PROPOSED SK MEET #2 - MY BIRTHDAY!! thats right, everyone is invited to come to a MIDLIFE (uh, i mean midnight?) Midlife crisis? Isn't that something you have when you're about 31? As long as someone's gonna play Starcreft with me, I'm down. the festivities of the weekend following remain a mystery to me... They probably involve an allegedly cool NJ club night. okay... nuff of playin sk.net cheerleader, i'm off to play with da nova... later kidz *pictures Raine in a cheerleader costume with "SK.net emdoidered in green on black. heh.

Insomnia 2002-10-14 15:16:45 ET I <3 allegedly cool NJ club nights.

doktor242 2002-10-14 15:21:47 ET that's where you go to find the c0q. ;)

Insomnia 2002-10-14 15:38:22 ET Dude if I was that successful I'd never have moved to Brooklyn! Now I go to Hackensack for that. . . still in NJ, but not club. . . ::smiles::

death by design 2002-10-14 20:33:31 ET hahaha NOW YOU SAY d00d LIKE me!!! soon you will start saying 'like'!!! and furax:: any meanyness has been on my part, insomnia said it right when she quoted you as having more friend points than is attainable ::W:: (westchester reprazent)

doktor242 2002-10-14 20:36:59 ET Westchester? *points at thesuburbs and laughs Nelson Muntz style: Haw haw!

death by design 2002-10-14 20:38:29 ET suburbs yourself, bizaaa! if yer gonna mack it out in the burbs, you should do it properly , not some kind of limbo place between ghetto brooklyn and long island . feh

death by design 2002-10-14 20:38:53 ET i miss having a car too

doktor242 2002-10-14 20:40:03 ET HUMAN ERROR.

death by design 2002-10-14 20:41:40 ET fah-tal error

doktor242 2002-10-14 20:42:44 ET Cars are an expense that keep doktor from buying sushi and synthesizers. Ergo, doktor has no car.

death by design 2002-10-14 20:48:20 ET thats your excuse for EVERYTHING even losing your keys d00d i thought the keys got locked IN the car for 2 minutes tonight.. i was like.. oh no. not again

doktor242 2002-10-14 20:49:37 ET senility takes it's toll.

death by design 2002-10-14 20:51:19 ET should i change my avatar to 'defend comics?'

doktor242 2002-10-14 20:51:57 ET Nah, stay with this one. you look s3xy.

doktor242 2002-10-14 20:52:21 ET should I change mine?

death by design 2002-10-14 20:53:03 ET you could use the sattelite... i like your avatar tho

doktor242 2002-10-14 20:57:12 ET yeah, maybe I'll keep it a bit longer

Furax 2002-10-14 21:09:11 ET one day my friend points will be worth something... ...one can only hope, right? ;-P

The Joker 2002-10-14 23:38:16 ET "like d00d" California speak already ;) -The Joker

Insomnia 2002-10-15 04:29:49 ET damnit Joker 21 years and I never spoke Cali speak... no need for that!

The Joker 2002-10-15 11:52:13 ET ::laughz:: Like, don't get into, like, a tizzy. ;) hey I just realized what this background image is... badass. I dig my Electribe ES-1, its first hardware drum machine I ever used, an' I dig it. -The Joker

death by design 2002-10-15 12:33:26 ET yah the background is kind of a not-immediately-noticeable thing

The Joker 2002-10-15 12:47:53 ET Well i jsut thought it was paint thinner or something, until I saw the "Korg". You know I always wanted a band with a drum machine, but an animatronic "Animal" from The Muppets built above it, thrashing around on a drum kit. How could you miss with that!? -The Joker

death by design 2002-10-15 13:04:12 ET lol thats what my friend eric is for if he ever gets his sh*t together

doktor242 2002-10-15 14:10:39 ET I always wanted a Kraftwerk style robot. My old band called our drum machine Alice, she was credited on all our demos. I like my EA-1, but my Nova is better. :)

digit 2002-10-15 14:21:42 ET i like my es-1: it was responsible for most of the drums on my first album: and my er1 was responsible for a lot of the bizarre synth parts: that and my access virus: which i still regret selling: ...but in any case yes on thursday i will be arriving in tha city sometime between 6 and 7: still gotta check the train schedule: and i'm not positive if my friend will be coming with me or not but if you wanna say hi to him his SK addy is here: andy

The Joker 2002-10-15 15:02:40 ET I want to play with a Nova more. I generally go for Software created drums, for ease of manipulation and speed... I use Reason for most of my drums now, and my Korg MS2000R for synth and bass. People still give me shit for haveing a Casio CTK-631 for a controller, but fuck'em it works for me. I hate it when people think that you can only make good musick with the most expensive equipment. -The Joker

doktor242 2002-10-15 15:07:17 ET Yeah, you can't beat software/samplers for drums, I love my Reason and Waldorf Attack. I use Reason/Cubase/Live for almost everything, and my Electribe for basses. The Nova is mainly for pads and arps, but it's pretty versatile at picking up the slack wherever needed. Nova, Oxygen 8 and my iBook= my studio, all will fit in carry on luggage. Ain't life grand?

The Joker 2002-10-15 15:19:58 ET Thats what I love about technology! =) -The Joker

Furax 2002-10-15 19:38:00 ET ...i had a beeper once (o_O)
