After my log entry on 10/10/01, friend MSK brought to my attention the band Anthrax's website. On their site, they discuss why their band name isn't so cool right now and how they're not going to change it.

As of yet, there has been no statement released by the lesser known band Twin Tower Attack, who undoubtedly has had to contemplate a name change in light of the bizarre coincidence that has befell them as well.

I think I'll go to Escape From New York Pizza (622 NW 23rd - Portland, OR) for lunch today.

whoa...

The log server and my web server are running at the same time.

My shrink asked me to "act like a patient" and not watch the televised news regarding the terrorist attacks, bombing, and other mayhem. Unfortunately, I need the material to make something out of this goofy log.

I'll tell you what, The new Survivor can go F themselves. This war is the ULTIMATE in reality television. The Pentagon and the non-survivor networks (ABC and NBC) need to work out a deal where the military strikes are increased and bombing is more spectacular on Thursdays from 8 to 9 pm. They could show footage of the war with background music from today's great nu metal acts like System of a down, Slipknot, and DFiVE9.

Satellite cams, web cams, infrared cams, cams-o-fucking-rama. I want detailed night vision, day vision, x-ray vision of the war. I would love nothing more than to see Jeff Probst tucked away in a bunker-bomb. I'm sick of that guy.

I don't know what all of the hubub is about. I like Anthrax. I especially like their cover of the Beastie Boys "Looking Down the Barrel of a Gun" (Found on the Beavis and Butthead Experience CD)and their collaboration with Public Enemy on the rock/rap hit "Bring the Noise." We need to quit discussing music and start worrying about the possibility of terrorist attacks on American soil.

If you've wondered where I've been, check out the new STUART WYLEN TRIO website. The band had a top notch, jedi knight, professional do the graphic design work, and (well...) me doing the html (thank God for Front Page). Sort of like a Ferarri body with a Pinto engine. Check it out, yo. Buy stuff off of the site.

Hey, today marks 1000 hits since August 1st. Special thanks to Jam Magazine, Jim Spagg, Harry Lime, and Humorlinks for the free promotion.

Did you read that last post? How angry did that sound? Boy, this weening off of the caffeine is killing me. What a rant. I'm not going to delete it or anything, but gosh that's harsh. I even signed my name to it twice, illustrating my confusion.

I bought a new monitor today. Actually, my Dad's company bought it; only it's at my house and no one at his company knows about it. Other people's credit is much cooler than your own.

Qwest has let their ftp server sit and rot for about four days now. FUCK. I need to upload stuff, goddammit!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a question for Portland's "Rock Alternative," 94.7 KNRK [radio station]. Why is it that any white rap act is considered alternative? KNRK has included Eminem, Bloodhound Gang, House of Pain, Cypress Hill, Beastie Boys, and other honky groups in their rotation. Why? Why is it that white hip-hop is alternative? What's the rationale for playing Eminem but not Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre?

I think it's because KNRK hates black people. It's the only possible explanation. No black DJs, no black artists. The only thing black in the studio is the lipstick on the female (and some of the male) DJs. Oh, and I guess the goth clothing straight from Hot Topic.

Gooch is sick. Sick of the qwest.net ftp server that has raped me of my ability to update this page. QWEST ftp server has been down since yesterday and "might" be back up "later tonight."

Had to vent.
