The Fort Awesome Hall of Fame has added a new member - Sid Vicious.
2002.04.03
I changed the front.
It's possible that a new hall of fame member may be announced. I'm not sure yet.

Rest in peace Mom.

Johnny Cash is better now.
So I added a blog. I haven't posted anything yet, so don't get all moist and runny over it.
Added a couple new links.

Johnny Cash is in the hospital with bronchitis, thus the new splash pic. If I find out where, I will send him a get well card.

So, Saturday was September 22, the Autumnal Equinox, end of summer, right? So, you'd figure 2001 Summer of the Bizzare would be over, right? Wrong. The fucking Bengals are 2-0. I have a head cold that is kicking the shit out of me. I pay off a debt promptly. Meltzer lets himself gets conned by a bunch of web goofballs from Canada. If this gets worse, I'm stealing my dad's guns and moving to Montana.
Things are looking up, though. Got a shipment from my tape dealer, Jeff Lynch. Four tapes, all the good stuff from this summer - the resurgence of Mutoh, Kawada beating dudes up, Toryumon, etc. So that leaves seven + one in the VCR that need watching. Also, UFC is Friday, so we get to watch Tito kick the shit out of another dude (hopefully). (Ryan, your ass better be coming.)
Oh, I changed the front pic, so check it out if any of you lazy fuckers link straight to this page rather than that page. Added a few new links, too.

Had an odd dream the other night. You know those baseball instruction videos that dude Tom Emanski puts out all the time? Anyway, a key part of the dream had me finding out that Tom Emanski funds his baseball school by smuggling heroin. What does it mean? I dunno.
That there Hall of Fame has a new member: Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood.

Christ, all the nationalist idiots have come out of the woodwork, haven't they? Yeah, nothing like thousands of people dying a violent death to bring the country together. And if the asshole politicians stumping for votes isn't bad enough, you have the corporate news media stirring up the war talk. I don't think it was even an hour after the towers crashed that the bastards were already talking about "revenge" and shit. And motherfuckers wonder why I want to move to New Zealand...
Threw a new top five into the junk drawer.

I, uh, "procured" Wilco's new album yesterday, thanks to audiogalaxy and the wonders of CD-R technology. I sort of felt guilty about it at first, but considering I'm going to be driving to fucking Detroit to go see them in October, I got over it pretty quick. As for the album itself, it's easily the best thing I've heard in the past couple years. I've seen them being called an American Radiohead, and the comparison is sort of correct - they both get all weird and abstract and shit and actually take chances with their art (as opposed to the unimaginative NSync/Backstreet Boyz/Britney Spears bullshit). Of course, Wilco's record won't sell worth a damn while Radiohead's went to the top ten, and they'll probably get dropped from their new label. Such is the price of glory, I suppose.
Anyhow, school started again, and guess who has two 15-page papers assigned already? If you guessed me, you'd be right. My classes are douchebag central, too, especially Linear Algebra. (Sometimes I wonder what goes through these rube's heads when they say something. If you want to get in good with the professor, do the normal thing and offer him/her sex. Just leave me the fuck out of it.) It's gonna be a long semester, and I threw a new top five into the junk drawer to commerate the occasion.
Oh yeah, I turned 21 this past Wednesday. There was a pretty big turnout at Dana's of people who wanted to buy me a shot, so that was a welcome surprise. I didn't puke, despite Hengehold giving me a shot of half whiskey/half hot sauce and that fucking Grand Marnier.

Threw something new into the junk drawer. Some will like it, some will hate it, and some will be confused.
2001.8.19
Inducted the first member into the Fort Awesome Hall of Fame....the legendary Lenny Harris. Bet you thought it would be some wrestler, huh? Maybe later.
And Ryan, when did I ever say I hated your hair? "Hate" is such a strong word..."amused" or "befuddled" would be a better fit.
2001.8.8
Update with some shit. Moved my file into the "Junk Drawer," which is exactly what it denotes. Threw an Enemies List and a Top Fives page into the previously mentioned drawer.
(Twenty-one days.)

Yeah, so I got off my lazy ass and made a web page. So what? I mean Christ, it's just a shitty GeoCities page I made in like 5 minutes. And it's not like anyone outside of the few people I know will come see this. So consider this a small, disturbing glimpse into my fragile psyche. It's pretty much a work in progress, especially the crappy contents bar deal I put at the top of the page. I can't figure out how to put it on the left side without it looking like shit. If anyone (I'm looking at you, Ryan) can help me out...well, you know.
