  1. Lucky you. And you better believe I'd find a M-F job if it paid as well...
  2. Well, we got weathered out last week, so we're gonna try one more time. This Wednesday, Skydance in Davis CA. Night jumps. Be there, or be square. Unless you live in another state. Then you can still be round.
  3. Dude, I feel the exact same way. That track still gives me the shiver every time I hear it.
  4. It's hard to think about a war we never experienced (thankfully). Dulce Et Decorum Est. -Wilfred Owen Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind. Gas! GAS! Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling, And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime... Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams you too could pace Behind the wagon that we flung him in, And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, - My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.
  5. Old school Oakenfold is awesome. I've got some recordings of Radio One Essential Mixes from '99 and '00, and they rock. But Bunka sucked, as did everything after and a few things before. I saw him live twice, and both times he was a big showboat. A shower, not a grower.
  6. Grrr. Got weathered out. Oh well, try again next week.
  7. If anyone in the Nor Cal area wants to do some night jumping, Davis is going to be doing them tonight. Anyone who wants to join is more than welcome. I might also add that this will be my first night jump, and I will be bringing beer to mark the occasion.
  8. OK, how do podcasts work? You must have to download pre-recorded programs each time, right? What would it take to simply have an IPOD that also has a radio receiver in it? This is what I don't quite get right now. maybe I'm making an idiot of myself & I just don't understand. I'm new to this. But I would like to use my IPOD as the center of my home stereo system, but I also wanna listen to the radio sometimes too. And also, what if I'm out somewhere with just my IPOD & wanna hear a live radio broadcast? can that be done? Negative, ghost rider.
  9. I've actually always found that I like a lot of the same things I liked as a kid. I do not understand people who seem to have forgotten & are striving to "find their inner child." I usually feel like a little kid masquerading as an adult. I don't need to find my inner child, it's keeping up this "outer adult" facade that's difficult for me! No kidding.
  10. Good call. And, if you're anywhere near Santa Rosa, come buy it from me.
  11. I would find a system independent of the iPod. The iPod can plug into any home stereo system, whether it's designed for it or not, as long as it has RCA input ports, or a line in jack. Find something nice, and I almost guarantee the iPod will work fine with it.
  12. Look, politicians are just actors anyways. I don't see what the problem is. I like his politics.
