3:41 pm	very very interesting the Questioner Test finished! you chose CY - your Enneagram type is SIX. "I am affectionate and skeptical" Questioners are responsible, trustworthy, and value loyalty to family, friends, groups, and causes. Their personalities range broadly from reserved and timid to outspoken and confrontative. How to Get Along with Me Be direct and clear. Listen to me carefully. Don't judge me for my anxiety. Work things through with me. Reassure me that everything is OK between us. Laugh and make jokes with me. Gently push me toward new experiences. Try not to overreact to my overreacting. What I Like About Being a Six being committed and faithful to family and friends being responsible and hardworking being compassionate toward others having intellect and wit being a nonconformist confronting danger bravely being direct and assertive What's Hard About Being a Six the constant push and pull involved in trying to make up my mind procrastinating because of fear of failure; having little confidence in myself fearing being abandoned or taken advantage of exhausting myself by worrying and scanning for danger wishing I had a rule book at work so I could do everything right being too critical of myself when I haven't lived up to my expectations Sixes as Children Often are friendly, likable, and dependable, and/or sarcastic, bossy, and stubborn are anxious and hypervigilant; anticipate danger form a team of "us against them" with a best friend or parent look to groups or authorities to protect them and/or question authority and rebel are neglected or abused, come from unpredictable or alcoholic families, and/or take on the fearfulness of an overly anxious parent Sixes as Parents are often loving, nurturing, and have a strong sense of duty are sometimes reluctant to give their children independence worry more than most that their children will get hurt sometimes have trouble saying no and setting boundaries Renee Baron & Elizabeth Wagele The Enneagram Made Easy Discover the 9 Types of People HarperSanFrancisco, 1994, 161 pages You are not completely happy with the result?! You chose CY Would you rather have chosen: AY (EIGHT) BY (FOUR) CX (TWO) CZ (ONE) My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 0% on ABC You scored higher than 51% on XYZ Link: The Quick and Painless ENNEAGRAM Test written by felk on Ok Cupid, home of the 32-Type Dating Test Current Mood: amused Current Music: crap (Comment on this)
3:28 pm	In the words of LL Cool J.. I need love... You need love. You are a pretty normal, well-rounded person that just craves that fairy tale love where you will be swept off your feet and live happily ever after. Chances are that you fantasize or dream about it so much that you either see all the guys/girls as unromantic or you tell yourself that anyone could be your soulmate. You long to have someone by your side and you want to give back on the romance part too, not just give. What Do You Need in Your Life?

11:35 pm	hmmmmm has anyone tried a "free ipods" site? i've done some research online for this particular one... seems actually to be legitimate, which is amazing to me. Or I'm extremely gullible, which might be the case. But I thought.. what the hell, I'll try it. I've been wanting to sign up with Rhapsody anyway.. so I might as well do this through them and see what happens. turns out.. after completing the offer... I have to have EIGHT referrals!!! EIGHT people who sign up and complete an offer. argh!! :( Should've known... but hey, at least I'm signed up with Rhapsody now... right? SO.. if anyone wants to go sign up to Rhapsody or BMG CD club or Columbia House DVD.. or other somewhat cool offers, like Blockbuster online (kinda like NetFlix)... PLEASE go through my referral. :D- I'd really love to see if I can actually get an ipod this way.

11:40 am	Yes! This was a chain letter thing I got, but I cut that part out cause I think the sentiment is right on... A good reminder: Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stay awake just to watch you sleep. Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you. Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says,".....that's her." "The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides." Current Mood: determined Current Music: silence (6 Comments |Comment on this)

5:40 pm	why not... i think i'll just quote mike peters, dave sharp and various alarm collaborations for every life experience i'm going through and every emotion that i'm feeling from now on... they're so much more eloquent than I... This one goes out to everyone I've known and have been distanced from in some way shape or form, my doing, their doing, someone else's doing, from betrayal, from distance, from life, from death... SWANSONG © Peters Goodbye my friend and fare thee well if we never meet again I’m glad I had the chance to know you, I hope you think of me as I think of you We had our chance and we blew it away, we never got past the past You say that you can live with that, if that’s all right by you it’s fine by me May your heart always be strong, may your spirit ride the wind May your voice stay straight and true This is my swansong, our moment came and went away My swansong, my love for you always remains My swansong, my swansong to you I’ll be moving in some other dimension Some other space and time There will always be reminders Of every hard won battle we fought together I keep them locked in my memory I keep them safe from harm You will always be a friend to me What God hath made let no man cast asunder For better or for worse We did it all for what it was worth We did it our own way On our own uncharted course This is my swansong, our moment came and went away My swansong, my love for you always remains My swansong, my swansong to you I’ll leave you with this passing thought, should you ever change your mind Think hard before you call me… think hard, think long, think twice Cause there’s a secret place in this heart of mine, where I bury my wounded pride If you should choose to unlock the door You’ll have to pay the price for what you might find You’ll find hurt and accusation, you’ll find confusion and mistrust You may find the words to this haunted melody This is my swansong, our moment came and went away My swansong, my love for you always remains My swansong, our moment came and went away My swansong This is my swansong to you… Current Mood: gloomy Current Music: The Alarm MMIV - Swansong (4 Comments |Comment on this)

1:07 pm	amazing how songs become relevant.... Listening to live365.. and "Contenders" by Alarm (MMIV) came on. Wow... this touches so many aspects of my life at this very moment - actually more as a whole. I've always loved this song, but the relevancy of it just became very apparent... *********************** CONTENDERS (c) Peters We can’t look back, my eyes are open Can’t stand still or fall apart Can’t do nothing, anything Cannot replace what’s been thrown away We could have been contenders We can’t let go, it’s taken over us Can’t give up while hope’s alive In my dreams, in my mind Just when I think it’s over It keeps coming closer We could have been contenders In another time, in another place In another lifetime, any other day We could have been contenders We can’t control what’s come between us What binds us all, sets us apart Out of our hands, out of our reach We can’t give up, it’s only just begun We could have been contenders We are the silent ones We are the silent ones *********************** Sigh.

11:06 am	Two ways to help the hurricane victims... The devastation from Hurricane Katrina... there are no words to describe the aching in our souls for all of the victims... Two ways to help: 1. NETWORK FOR GOOD - an all-in-one website where you can donate to several different charities specifically for the hurricane devastation (including animal rescue organizations): http://www.networkforgood.org/topics/animal_environ/hurricanes/?source=AOL&cmpgn=NEWS&RTP=http://news.channel.aol.com/ 2. CD BABY - for those of you who like checking out new music... AND want to help with the hurricane rescue efforts: CD Baby has asked their members to donate the proceeds of their CDs sold on CD Baby to the American Red Cross. SO... if you have been looking to help and haven't figured out how you want to do it yet... this is a wonderful way! NOTE: Members who are participating will NOT receive a single cent from this purchase... it is going DIRECTLY to the American Red Cross via CD Baby. (CD Baby's share of member's sales will also apparently be donated, though they're not advertising it... just FYI) There are TONS of bands (including Loki the Grump) participating, so why not check out some great new music on CD Baby AND do something very kind for those in need at the same time! FYI: The link goes to my band's CD Baby page... but just click on CD Baby's HOME button when you get there to get to the "For Charity - Red Cross Gallery" for a list of all bands participating! http://www.cdbaby.com/lokithegrump .

11:29 pm	News from CBGB!! Posted by CBGB on MySpace.com: As many of you may be aware, CBGB is currently in dispute with our landlord over a new lease. Our current lease ends at the end of August. To put all rumors to rest, the lease dispute is not over violations or unpaid rent. It is simple economics. The neighborhood is changing. Where there once were abandoned lots and supply warehouses, there are now high price condominiums and chic upscale boutiques. Neighborhoods in this city change. We understand that. Whether you want to call it gentrification or progress is a matter of opinion, and rather than turn this into a political diatribe, allow me to simply explain how this effects CBGB and we can save the political and class questions for another time. Our landlord is the BRC (Bowery Resident's Committee) a not for profit charity that assists the homeless. They run and maintain various shelters and outreach programs. We support their cause and believe we can, not only have a good relationship as landlord and tennant, but we can also help each other. Currently, our landlord wants us out. The reason is simple. The changes in the neighborhood (present and planned) have made the property value skyrocket. Whether they rent our space to a new tennant, use it for themselves, or have different plans all together, they believe they can make more money with us gone. We are trying to negotiate a new lease with our landlord. Part of what we are doing is holding a series of benefit shows through the month of August. People have asked what the money is being used for. Let me explain. The money raised will be used to help cover our enormous legal expenses in our effort to obtain a new lease. If the lease dispute is resolved, these benefit shows will be a celebration and the money raised will be used to donate to the BRC to help them in their support of the homeless. Many of the bands playing on these benefits are waiting to confirm dates... and some bands have asked not to be advertized yet. These are the bands that have confirmed with dates confirmed as well. This list will be updated in upcoming bulletins. 8/2 RANA 8/5 BUSH TETRAS 8/9 APHASIA, SHORTIE 8/10 AGAINST ME, THE EXIT, WORLD INFERNO FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY 8/12 MISFITS 8/13 VANS WARPED TOUR AFTER PARTY 8/14 GORILLA BISCUITS, BLACK TRAIN JACK 8/15 RAW POWER 8/20 THE VANDALS 8/24 BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION/NIKKI SIXX & TRACII GUNS 8/26 DEAD BOYS, FLIPPER, PETER AND THE TEST TUBE BABIES, ADRENALIN O.D. , FURIOUS GEORGE 8/27 DEAD BOYS, ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE, SFA, NIHILISTICS 8/28 SHAM 69, FLIPPER, CHEETAH CHROME & THE BLACK ANGELS 8/29 SHAM 69, THE RADICTS Also confirmed to play are: CONFLICT, VERBAL ABUSE, MDC, TODAY IS THE DAY, CIRCLE OF DEAD CHILDREN, ADOLYNE, SICK OF IT ALL, FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS, CIRCLE JERKS, ADOLESCENTS, D.I. , CHANNEL 3, ZERO BOYS, and DR. KNOW Other bands are not yet completely confirmed and there may be a few surprises... so keep checking back. [And dig this.. we're playing an event at the CBGB Downstairs Lounge on August 12th, with Early Edison & Serial Poets, tentatively called ALaRMHEADstock... and it's going to be INCREDIBLY cool! And to add to the coolness... apparently, the Misfits will be playing above us... how frickin'tastic is that??????] Current Mood: excited Current Music: Digging Your Scene - Blow Monkeys (Comment on this)
