waxing philosophical

techno remix

the continuing evolution of my site continues...

like a strain of deadly viri, it keeps mutatin'

one word to describe today:

boring

got new tires for judy

finally back on the road in a small car i can smoke in

no more suburban

no more mommobile

i hope

hung with tom & stew at dennys

stew left early, he was tired

was reading a mag tom bought

had a huge star wars article

star wars special edition opens january 31st

got me thinkin'

i saw star wars in the theatre in '77

i was two years old, but still

i saw it in the theatre

in fact, i saw all three when they were first run in the theatre

makes me feel rather old

but

in 1983, i saw jedi in the theatre

i remember vividly the part where vader throws the emperor down the power shaft

the audience was cheering

now this was the first and last time i ever experienced first hand a films power to move an audience

subconsciously, this little experience burned into my brain the power of the medium

vader, an icon of evil for six years, immediatly redeems himself in the audiences minds with one action

it taught me that film is a powerful thing, and that i should be involved with it

i never realized how much that experience influenced me until i discovered my talent for filmmaking

so, subconsciously for nine years, my mind pushed me into videography

eerie

my whole affinity for the visual medium

caused by an audience cheering

eerie, again

ive decided (sort of)

that when i go back to school in september

im takin' some radio classes

i want to try being a radio personality

ive already been a television personality (gary a. maynard of PSyCHoMeTRiC PSouNDS)

i have a somewhat deep voice

and i say really bizarre things

id have a very...original show on the radio

but thats in the future

and im stuck in the present

with one foot in the past

it just amazes me

how old i am

ive been using a modem since '89

i think

i was on a commodore 64 nationwide network called QLink

runnin' off a c64 with a 300 baud modem

i remember when aol was PCLink and America Online (for macs) before their merger

then i got into local bbs'

then i got into teleconference stuff on local Galacticomm Major BBS'

met upwards of about 100 people through those

havent seen many of them in years

then there was a lull

then we (finally) got a REAL 'puter

486 DX2/66

signed up on AOL with my credit card

didnt use it much

transferred it over to my mother

then we got another 'puter

gateway 2000 p5-90

then i signed up on earthlink

and started this page, and my whole "web" career

and here i am

so the moral of the story?

ive been around for a while

and its been an okai life so far

and im going to live forever

cause im a time lord

but i lost my tardis...
