I found yet another problem with having a popular name. Besides for the fact that 75% of cal poly's saxophone section is name brian, bryan or ryan, the confusion transfers over to AIM conversation.
A KissMeImConfuzd's away message saying, "will someone please tell meee why bryan is the sexiest man alive??" leaves me stupified. was this a message for me and simply mispelled? or someone else? Who is this man and where can i meet him in a dark alley?

I guess life has its ups and downs. Im off for home now to see Diminished tonight, Six Flags Magic Mountian on Friday, and to see tons of friends.

Monday, November 25, 2002Theater dictates my life.
Saturday I worked at the theater reception. and it really absorbed most of the night.
Sunday I auditioned for Guys and Dolls as well as worked with my acting partner on our scene for class.
Today I have already met with my scene partner, and in a hour I have callbacks (YEY!) for G&Ds. Im really excited about it. Ive seen guys better than me, so i dont think ill get a lead. But there is a possibility of a part.
Oh, and be sure to check out the wonderful Diminished show at the Roxy tomorrow, tuesday. They go on around 9 tickets, will be cheap and available at the door. Ill be going now so I hope to see you there.

Friday, November 22, 2002so, that family that had the septuplets six years ago are on the front of AOL. not to say that id rather read about bombings, but it was just as depressing. Four of the seven kids have serious problems. They all smile of course, but two have eye problems, two have feeding tubes, and two have leg braces, and crutches. BUT they get to go on photo shoots and go to disney world, and virtualy everything they ever need or want is paid for by someone else.
Id like to raise may issues here. but i just dont know how. Like, should a family be allowed to have eight kids when its obvious they wouldnt be able to pay for it on their own? Im not necessarily talking about the family above, but its just stupid to have kids when you know you cant afford them.
I apologise, once the week lets up ill post better.

So last summer i played some of a song I wrote for Will who is the band Roadside Variety. He said they were going to steal my song.... Well, they tell me it sounds really awsome and they changed the words about how they are gonna get rich and famous from my song.
The highlight of my night came when i wasnt at the computer.
WillySpeedFinger: we want you to write songs for us
WillySpeedFinger: good old fashioned pop-punk!
WillySpeedFinger: please!

Well, that didnt take long did it? ou wanna guess what happened? go ahead guess.. ok times up... the laundry room is now locked. WHY???? JESUS I DONT FUCKING KNOW! The room was open last year 24 hours a day, I should know, i lived right next to it. I have no bed sheets.
This week wont end...
logged by Unknown at 1:01 AM
Tonight it was laundry night (actulay it passed a few weeks ago). The ritual begins much the way of the rest of the week. As I prepare to leave hit my roomates bike and it starts to fall, i try to save it and drop my laundry tub... and my powdered detergent. some of it I was able to salvage, but the rest I vaccumed up, and afterwards i prop up the vaccume and talk to my roomate. It promptly falls on my toes, and with mighty force. Ill live, i set out for a laundry room.
So I go out with my tub full of laudry and my laundry bag bursting with even more. Only to discover the laundry room is locked, why is beyond me. I have to walk a little farther to the next one. Which has a rather cute girl folding rather cute underware.. yet not wareing any. The moment was ruined when i realised she was on the phone with her boyfriend. Engaged in the ritual of whipping her boyfriend. obviously me being there was not in her plans as her clothes were strewn over literaly eight of eight washers. She moves some so I can use the washers.
Would you be suprised if I told you I left my detergent at the apartment? well, on my back to the laundry room from my apartment I get a water balloon thrown at me. by who I have no clue. It didnt hit me tho, just landed next to me, and i was suddenly aware of sevral water explosions on the ground. Well anyway i make it to the laundry room and realise i left the scooper at home. Its just too much hassel for the scooper so i estimate with my hand. bleh, I took a alternative route home to avoid another water balloon attack.
now its nearly 1 am and i have to go put it in the dryer... what adventures await me?

Tuesday, November 19, 2002Some good news on a otherwise cruddy day.
Space Mountain, a favorite ride of Disneyland visitors, is rumored to be getting a major overhaul in the next 4 years. How major? well lets just say im skeptical that they can fit a decent looping roller coaster in that space. The ride will retain its space theming.

Monday, November 18, 2002This post comes to you from the glorious Cal Poly Library, where human error and fatal mistakes are made every quarter.
Todays episode stars my Delta project goup
We set out to build a two dimentional house. Each person recieved a list of quantitative measures they had to satisfy. Easy enough right? Wrong!
For the last three weeks one member of my group told us to go ahead and make the design and she couldnt do her calcuations till we were finished. Full knowing that HER prompt specificaly said she should be integral in making the design. Well as you can imagine, the rest of us fought over the design, making sure all of us were satisfied and within our measures of performance.... till today, two days before the final report and class presentation is due, she looks at her paper and says "this isnt going to work. I need this calcuation to equal twenty and it's over one hundred."
THANKS ALOT EINSTEIN!!
So after that they completly restarted the design. A design which at first crack took three weeks to complete!
But just now I was sitting not doing anything... just thinking about how much math i should be studying and in fact planned to study tonight before they called.... just imagining tomorrows mid term grade and how fucked i will be come the final... Just wishing she had fucking paid attention to her own job the last three weeks.... and just saying goodbye to my good old friend, my bed.

Sunday, November 17, 2002Horray for fucking idiots!
Christian fundamentalists oppose Harry Potter being taught in schools and being in public librarys. They are all for the censorship of books and the downfall of childrens imaginations.
Harry Potter supports devil worship and opposes good chirstian fundamentals. He should burn like the witch he is.

OH HEELLLLLL NO!!!
My roomate just got speakers for the first time on his computer. And you wanna take a wild guess what he is doing? He is watching sermons and christian stuff.
I dont want to offend too many people here, but it seems like such bullshit. I understand if you want to live your life according to a set of standards, because it makes life easier. A set of morals is good for people too when youre open to new ideas. However if you live your life in order to prove your worth to something you dont even know exists youre wasting away.
Sounds to me like youre clinging to a rumor started thousands of years ago.

Saturday, November 16, 2002Paulo of Diminished is a rather skilled guitarist and writes songs using cakewalk on his computer, his guitar, and a drum machine. They sound really good. They are also written expecting someone to write lyrics to it. I dont know the name of these songs, but i uploaded them for you. download the first one by clicking here.
edit: oy gavault! ill whip up a better link to get that song. But in the mean time you can download this live video: Diminished - Plastic (Live)

Thursday, November 14, 2002For the first time since I started going to Live Rat Cam yesterday there was some action going on. but the stupid workers had to take the cage away for cleaning. Last night the lights were off, this morning they were in a cardboard box which you could watch shake every so often and maybe see a tail. But finaly just now the box was tipped over and the little buggers were everywhere, one of them gave me a scare when it came mighty close to the camera, its nose was the size of my head!

Wednesday, November 13, 2002When someone asks you if you’re a god you say yes.
that’s probably why i didn’t feel that bad about throwing away some christian "join our cult" pamphlets that were cluttering up the music building. I really do think its a disturbance to campus tho. They wont let Cal Poly Ski Club remain a officially cal poly club because of "insurance risks" but they will allow christian clubs and organizations to clutter up* the Union and hassle you on your way to class. Maybe one day ill kick one of them for stopping me, then we will see who is an insurance risk.
* the pamphlets they hand out rarely make it into a pocket let alone the trash. Much like the clutter left behind after handing out flyers for a Bon Jovi at a System of a down concert.

Sunday, November 10, 2002“What is a emo kid?” – Jazz
*Well Jazz I don’t claim to know what exactly a emo kid is, but I can try to shed some light on the subject.*
Emo is short for emotional. it has recently emerged as a musical genre which mainly talks about... you guessed it, emotional stuff. A lot of it talks about ex girlfriends, parental divorces, death, and the like. Some of it can be described as "Emo-Punk" which is really just another name for "Pop Punk". Some bands to describe it would be New Found Glory and The Starting Line. Also Emo can be really soft and mellow like Saves the day, and Jimmy Eat World. Of course Id like to point out that it’s just a label, and you can call it whatever the fuck you want.
Ive heard of some bands where the singer cuts himself on stage, and gets really into it. some punk bands give emo bands shit for being weak, or less hardcore. They also are stereotyped as sounding “whiney.”
So an emo kid is just emotional, or whiney. There is also the typical emo picture, in which the band members are in thought or looking sad about something. I think someone coined the term “cheer up emo kid” to poke fun at the music. Ben might have some additional comments.

Friday, November 08, 2002If you could say one thing to rapper Eminem what would it be? Undoubtedly some people would scream in his face "im your biggest fan!" and others would yell at him for the destruction of Americas youth.
I, on the other hand, would simply look him sincerly in the eye and say "Cheer up emo kid."

Wednesday, November 06, 2002So you’re feeling pretty good about the night. you’ve got plans to go dancing, laundry’s in the dryer, dishes are washed, and you’ve started to cook one of your favorite meals, cheese ravioli. You’ve got the music (cherry poppin daddies) on pretty loud cause your roommates aren’t home and you don’t really know your neighbors. Your ravioli is boiling nicely and you go into the fridge for the second half of a jar of Ragu sauce you used last week when... hmm... I see presto sauce... some other type of tomato sauce... where’s mine? Well at this point you’re quick to blame its disapearance on your roommates and think about taking the presto sauce, but you’re not that bad and keep looking. You know you didn’t use all of it, you distinctly remember putting it back in the fridge... where could it be? It has to be in the fridge, you looked everywhere! ……… or did you (*dramatic turn to the messy kitchen table*) NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (*close up of face yelling in agony*) You left the ragu sauce on the table for a week, there’s no way that’s still edible! You have no back up sauce or suitable substitute, you can only throw away your ravioli and start cooking your Albertsons brand mac and cheese.... (*hang your head in defeat*)

Tuesday, November 05, 2002Life strikes again!
So it looks like I blew yet another audition. Tom D the choir director chose 2 barber shop quartets out of the people at the second auditon. Well, there were 4 tenors trying out and 4 leads. 3 people being the same. so really it was 5 people trying out for 4 spots. I could have sworn I did better than at least 2 of the guys, giving me either the tenor or lead part in the second quartet, but i got shafted once again. the guy who beat me out for tenor in the second quartet is gonna suck ass tho, so its sorta like revenge. That tenor cant reach most of the notes in falsetto. The audition song was low enough for him tho, so it wasnt noticeable. Also his personality will clash big time with the lead, so i predict a quick death of this quartet. Im happy for 3 of the guys in the first group tho, are good friends and will sound awsome, Two of them, Colin and Ryan, are roomates and in the same band. maybe the fourth (the high tenor) wont like them and ill get the call to replace him (crosses fingers).
What this all means is that my Guys and Dolls audition for Tom D which in a few weeks will be all the more critical. I have to prove that im not as bad as he thinks I am.

Have you ever been to a rite aid? The place has the most random shit along with everything you need. It isnt as big as a Walmart, but walmarts are big and gross, while rite aid still has a little bit of heart and pride left in it.
Todays trip to rite aid had me feeling a bit giddy. I bought black socks, Schick "Xtreme 3" razor (with free refills), and 2 bags of 50% off Halloween candy.
past trips have seen me leaving the store with a bobble head Chihuahua, duct tape, birthday card, paper towels, and a dog bone to name a few.

The best entertainment in SLO is free
Tonight was a strange night indeed. Mostly because my friends and I were all in wacked out moods. Yes, wacked out. but thats not the point of this post.
So tonight was a jaunt around the town. first stop was Lineas coffee shop where our friend Colin was playing. Hes pretty cool to watch, and one of the better acts that plays at lineas.
Then we ended up going to the Madonna inn. Home of the waterfall urinal. which is always fun for its creepyness and originality. Also there we heard a little bit of the band that plays in the ballroom. There is a guitar, bass and saxophone, they use a drum machine with songs pre structured. These old cats are pretty good, the saxophone guy wails and just kicks ass. He isnt uber good, but sounds good, and knows pretty much every song they play by heart.
Finally we returned to sarahs for good ol fashioned board games, Scrabble being our victim. A vicious game ensued, ending with my miraculous win by spelling out "en" "ton" and "an" all in one turn.
yes, days are long and hard, but nights in SLO town are bustin with style.
