vic's Journal

????
I know my analytical skills aren't the best but I can usually decypher comic strips. Has Scott Adams messed up? or perhaps just maybe he's elevated comic strips to a new artistic, dadaist high.

Current Music: The Replacements - Can't Hardly Wait

Ah, the ole' livejournal. Seems like everyone forgot about it at the same time. Probably abandoned because of myspace and facebook. yet those are all flash and no substance I guess there can be substance, but your picture and number friends are more important than anything else. Anyway, last week felt like it lasted a year. The funeral was on friday, went well, porr Joe took it hard. My grandma still acts like she is in a daze but otherwise thinkgs are back to normal. Cheap Trick's "Surrender" has to be one of the greatest songs i've ever heard. Every once and a while i go for a month or so whitout listening to it and everytime i rediscover it i'm astounded. I wish Jacob was still here, i've got three or four songs close to finished and a couple in various states of completion. My voice is still screwed though, still not completely over the bronchitis. Anyway, til next time...

Current Music: Cheap Trick - Surrender

I think David Bowie might be God.

Current Music: David Bowie - Andy Warhol

HA! I did it i got into Germany: 1914-1990. The professor said "get prepared for the coolest 16 weeks of history you can imagine: poison gas, spiked helmets, cool uniforms, dive bombers, cool tanks, and genocide." yay! And we're going to watch Nosferatu

I think im an old man at heart with childish wants and ideals.....yeah. And Billy Bragg is AWSOME

I dreamed I saw a tree full of angels, up on Primrose Hill
And I flew with them over the Great Wen till I had seen my fill
Of such poverty and misery sure to tear my soul apart
I've got a socialism of the heart....I've got a socialism of the heart

Current Music: Billy Bragg - Upfield

Cleaning your teeth is a revolutionary act!

the final final in 2 hours. Hispanic American History. I hope it doesn't eat me alive like the mid-term. I wish i didn't have to spend money on clothes for the wedding this saturday. I don't even know how i got wrangled into it.

Where the hell is Daniel...i expected him to be back this week...but no sign.

Current Music: The Replacements - Hangin' Downtown

The semester's over. It was a disaster...worst one ever. Finally it is over....except for tests...those fucking tests. Oh well, i should do fine. Next semester back to learning about Britain! :) I like my Spanish teacher a lot...outside of Spanish class. But after many talks with him, i found out he didn't want to end up teaching Spanish. But i can't imagine anyone really wanting to do that. I can talk to him about politics, history, and music though....i can talk to very few poeple about all those things....maybe just Joey.

Too cold...i know a month ago i was begging for cold...but now...i've had enough.

I wanna practice dammit! WE WILL FREEZE TO DEATH! but i don't care....practice, practice practice. **STOMP...STOMP** Longfellow.

Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes
with death's release

Current Music: David Bowie - Quicksand

Current Music: reggae

Sailors, fighting in the dance hall
Oh man! look at those cavemen go, it's the freakest show
Take a look at the Lawman, beating up the wrong guy
Oh man! Wonder if he'll ever know he's in the best selling show
Is there life on Mars?</>

Current Music: Bowie - Life On Mars

What book am I?
man! the quiz was waaay too short. im nothing like that book! what crap! i didn't even like Catcher In The Rye.....but i don't like myself either...maybe there is something to this :)

You're The Catcher in the Rye!

by J.D. Salinger

You are surrounded by phonies, and boy are you sick of them! In an
ongoing struggle to search for a land without phonies, you end up running away from
everything, from school to consequences. In this process, you reveal that many people
in your life have suffered torments and all you really want to do is catch them as
they fall. Perhaps using a baseball mitt. Your biggest fans are infamous
psychotics.

Current Music: Big Audio Dynamite - Beyond the Pale (a Strummer/Jones song...thus it is holy)

At Jess' behest i bought a bottle a bottle of Jim Beam tonight. Whiskey is gross. It is a vile, nasty liquid that must have been created by demons. People could've never created such a drink. Whiskey is not fit for human consumption. Blegh! it tastes like garbage-juice.....i guess it does the job though. The two drinks i'll never drink again: Spiced Rum and Whiskey. Disgusting.

Current Mood: drunk
Current Music: Big Audio Dynamite - Suffragette City (Bowie cover)

Finally! I had a car accident...i was tired of waiting.

"Don't you come through my door...i'll shoot you right there"

Current Music: E.A.T.T.

i don't think i like bars...they are too loud...and crowded. The real birthday celebrations will be this week. Daniel comes home this week.

Im getting sick.....i HATE being sick.

Current Music: The Clash - live in Hong Kong '82 bootleg

What's the point? .....it'll just happen again

Current Music: Bob Dylan

Roland Space Echo

So i was looking around on the internet for info about the Roland Space Echo. Because im still on this delay/echo trip. It turns out that there is a myrid of maintainence involved with analog delay/echo. I mean it is obvious in retrospect but i wasn't thinking. Puts me off the idea of buying one at some point...they sound cool but would be way too much work. You have to clean the tape heads, oil the motor, change the tape (which is no doubt obsolete), and on and on. I mean it is a machine....i just wasn't thinking. Besides that they have been out of production since the late 70's so if i could find one it is probably a month away from breaking. How did Mick Jones find the time to maintain the thing and set the controls. Just look at all the knobs....scary.

Finished my paper on time. But it was slap-dash like everything in my life. Why can't i just sit down and work on a paper. This one interested me...The Inca Great Rebellion.....i could've written a very good papaer...but yet again i wrote a paper at the last minute. Well perhaps next time.

Birthday tomorrow. Ironically, on November 15, 1533 Francisco Pizarro took the Inca capital of Cuzco. November 16, 1532 was the day Francisco Pizarro first met and captured Atahualpa at Cajamarca. I love that name Atahualpa.....if i ever have two pets at once they are going to be named Atahualpa and Huascar (Atahualpa's brother/rival).

Current Music: The Clash - the man in me (Bob Dylan cover)

There is a certain feeling of liberation in admiting defeat.

Current Music: The Clash - Inoculated City

I feel like some "sad-bastard music". Diggin' out the Joy Division tonight.

Took me a long time to make the connection:

Joy Division = Nazi-run whorehouse near the frontlines

New Order - The vision of the of the world the nazis wanted to create was called "the New Order"
like anicent Rome's "New Wisdom"

Current Music: U2 - I Will Follow
