Meanwhile, I downloaded the Jay-Z "99 Problems" video. Sweet. Rick Rubin with that stupid beard, cowboy hat, and fur coat... just being there is pretty cool. Vincent Gallo makes a pretty random cameo as well. Gallo is kind of a little bitch, though. Maybe Jay-Z should have had him gunned down at the end of the video, instead of himself. Maybe Rubin should be jogging in the video instead of walking, since he's put on a lot of fucking weight since the days of "Krush Groove." Maybe I should jog to the bar tonight.

I got 99 problems but the buffet ain't one.

Hit me.

Gooch: out.

Man... I'm fucking DONE trying to steal music using KaZaa. Two songs I wanted really bad were somehow deliberately all cocked up. Having a chick at your house, showing off the wireless media streamer in the crib, and having one of your pirated songs turn to screeching shit is not cool. It's definitely not sexy.

So "great," the RIAA may think... they've defeated me.

Bullshit. I'm armed with a .38 special and an empty mp3 player. I'm coming to their houses and stealing their CD collections. I'd love to go to Lars Ulrich's house and make him load his CDs into my car while I have him at gunpoint. The ultimate irony... hahahahahahahaha.

My name is John Gallucci, and I approve this message.

...and a standoff continues inside Tower Records with a man feverishly burning CDs on his laptop inside the store...

wow, this blog took a turn for the worse. It's breakfast time at Skyland Pub. I put a wireless access point in there and after the initial setup, I can't bring myself to be the guy in a bar on his laptop. It'd be cool to get stuff done while I eat too much and get shitfaced, but it's just not me. Strangely enough.

Tired, yo. I'm getting hangovers again. Getting older or is it my getting off of the Atkins diet that's causing that? Maybe it's because I drink too fucking much? Nah, I need to cut back on carbs again. Viva La Jack and diet.

I doing pretty well with the self employment thing. People think I'm really ambitious, but that's only at the beginning of the week, because I like three to four day weekends. My only ambition is to not have to be ambitious Thursday through Sunday.

Slacker, indeed.

Gooch: a legend in his spare time.
