Me Famous, You Not So Famous


A lot of the folks I grew up with said "You're gonna' be famous, someday!" Well I say screw the fame, I want money instead. Well atleast enough to get me out of my current situation. To the right here is the old button to my old site by clicking on this it'd take you to the self portraits section of my site. I used to read the stats for my site. Most of the folks from Canada couldn't figure out how to navigate my site, a few of the sharper ones did. Folks from the US, UK, coalition & every other country in the world could though. I guess that goes to show you something is amok here, or that Canadians in general are not internet savy. Then again my site targetted Americans, folks from armed forces, video game junkies, poets, photographers, actors, musicans, dancers, etc. Canadians were probably like "this is highly irregular & vulgar, where is the communist & terrorist hugging content?"

When will I get a new site. That is still unknown. Like I saiid I have landed o my feet, & am off at a snail's pace to getting back to being what I used to be able to do. Oh well I guess I have time to think if anything. I guess stepping away from the excesses of my former life for awhile will maybe do me some good. It's just that it sucks. Anyhow you know the old cheezy cliche what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. I am starting to beg to differ on that. The cold nearly killed me & I get really cold really fast now. Also my big toe had it's toenail fall off last night. Yes that is the end result from my experience with frost bite a few weeks to a month ago. Well it's probably more like a month ago. Damn it's wierd not having a toe nail. Although I must admit it is kinda' cool in some wierd way. I can see the parts that turned black, they have healed now & are pink, but the most severly damaged area in kinda' ocre in colour & has a ruptured type look to it.

Anyhow today I cooked up a funky new song/set of beats on my laptop. It's called Tuesday Afternoon cuz that is when I created it. Oh wow, what an original title. I have put together roughly 36 or more minutes of music now. Some of it really raw, some of it complete, & others needing just a few tweaks, or more things thrown in or taken out. Electronic music is wierd, I'd much rather have a guitar & a band.
