Tonight I was Vandalized. I am far from overjoyed with the situation. I parked my car 5 feet from a main street in Buffalo and someone smashed the window and rifled my gloveboxes. So far I haven't been able to find anything that the perpetrator of the crime might have stolen, and it looks like he or she might have been looking for money, but none of the change on the floor of the car was taken. And it looks as though there was a good $0.75 there to be taken. That seems to rule out a crack fiend, who might also have taken the Scrabble board or the jacket in the car if they had looked.
I am considering the possibility that the perpetrator might have been looking for drugs, possibly because they didn't take the stereo either. It would be nice if the police would take fingerprints from a car burglary, but they won't. They don't find burglaries important enough to deal with forensics on. I already asked the police in Niagara Falls about that when I went in to file the police report about my car stereo being stolen three months ago.
On a brighter note, I ran into a girl named Meredith who might write something for this web site at some point in the future, provided she does not go away for school next year first. I have talked to her in the past, and she sounded positive about it tonight. However, she was looking to get a cigarette from me tonight, and I didn't have one to give her (I was literally out of them), so she must have been disappointed. Social concerns like that sometimes make people a little bit edgy about working on projects with you.
This had been the first time I had taken my car to downtown Buffalo since the transmission was repaired. And it has happened when I am still short of money from that repair, so I hope that the insurance covers this. My mother thinks that our Vandalism insurance should cover it. I am going to take the car in this week and get an estimate. I will probably be driving a van for a week, until it gets fixed. Luckily, I will have these 2 cars all to myself for the next week, so I shouldn't have to drive the Shadow into any high risk areas in the city while the Window is broken.
I am concerned though, that if stuff like this is happening in Buffalo, that the next time that I go to Buffalo, something even worse could happen. I am always concerned about the possibility of being robbed at gunpoint down there. It is not the fact of losing the money that concerns me. It is the fact that someone might actually draw a gun, which places my life in significant jeopardy, whether or not I give them the money. Anyway, at least I have aired this concern, and hopefully I can let it go easily. I have a good reason to go to Buffalo this week, and I am expecting that I can safely find a way there in someone else's car.
To all of you who haven't been robbed at gunpoint or been vandalized this week: I hope you realize how lucky you are. Keep up the good work, and stay safe.

Due to some prompting by my good friend Mike, I decided to do some work with frames this weekend. I found a really good piece of text on how to design frames for a web page on Yahoo and I read through most of it. Unfortunately, due to my limited experience with Raw HTML code, I don't think that I will ever be a real wizard with them, so I will stick with what I could learn quickly. I needed to have enough time to write something here. I haven't written in almost a week.
On Tuesday I sent a letter to my friend Scott in Rochester. I think that it was one of the first snail mail letters I have sent for anything other than business in months. It took three days to get there. He read it and called me back last night. We are set to go to Toronto for a day sometime next week if nothing falls through. It will be an interesting trick, since I have no money in my wallet.
At the Allen Town Art Festival last Saturday, I had my portrait made by a street artist named Lindsay. She drew my portrait in chalk. I have scanned it in and placed it on my Autobiography page. All of my friends seemed to enjoy the experience. The Festival was very crowded and walking up and down the streets among the masses of people there was a little bit nerve wracking but we got to look at a lot of interesting art.
On the Sunday of the Festival I went with a couple of my friends to Don Pablo's on the upper part of Elmwood Avenue. We had Chimichangas and Enchaladas. Their free Chips and Salsa were excellent. I always enjoy having good Mexican food.
I hope you all have been enjoying the summer, I have had a decent time so far.
June 20, 1998 8:45 AM
I didn't do much this weekend. I slept a lot and watched a couple of movies. I watched Apocalypse Now and Men in Black on Cable. I would be working on discovering new net technologies, but I am just beginning to settle into and get used to the ones that I have at my disposal. I am going to continue to work on these pages through the summer. It seems like there is less time in the summer this year than there was last year. I am going on 2 years of rapid successes now, and things I am sure will continue to improve markedly after I get my AUTOMOBILE BACK FROM THE SHOP. We played Tekken 3 at Stephanie's house tonight.
I am going to be going to the Art Festival definitely on Sunday and possibly on Saturday. I might go to Toronto on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. I might just sit around the house and continue reading Holy Fire by Bruce Sterling.
I won $40.00 at the Casino this week. I can't complain about having spent some time there this time. I also made back the 20 that I lost last time, so I am in good shape, even though most of it will go to car repairs.
I think that I would like to play a couple of games of NHL 98 with my stereo speakers hooked up before the week is out. I haven't done that since the beginning of the hockey season, and it would be good to play a game just for the sake of doing it. I have purchased at least $200 worth of game software and I hardly ever use it.
I hope also to get myself into the mood to clean my room, and organize my floppy disks, so that I can begin to write some music and save it to floppy discs and not have them get lost. I am working with some New Order and Public Enemy samples right now and possibly a couple analog blurbs from the Crystal Method. Something should amorphize this summer. There is no excuse for it not to.
I just got a nasty letter from someone in e-mail. It has made me have to reflect a little bit on what a stressed out society a lot of us are actually living in. I accidentally sent this guy like 5 e-mails when my mailing list crashed and he seems to be going berserk about it.
I never intended to hurt anyone by having my mailing list get eaten. I never intended to have my mailing list get eaten. His message to me has given me a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. It makes me feel as if I have violated him in some way. It makes me feel as though I have taken advantage of a crying child left on the street by his mother.
I don't want to feel that way, and I am sure he doesn't want to feel like a jerk for a month wondering whether or not I have actually taken him off my mailing list, but friendly readers, I'll tell you this: I have removed him from my list, but I am not going to bother to write back to him to tell him. I think that he should cringe some more, in front of his little 13" monitor, and keep hoping for another word from me.
Because you have to know that people that are vulgar are just looking for some kind of acknowledgement that any sane person won't give them.
Picture that. Somehow I can keep myself in good humour after this.
Now all I have to do is get something for dinner.

PRESIDENT CLINTON OPPOSES RIGHT WING SCHOOL PRAYER AMENDMENT
In his weekly radio address, President Clinton announced his opposition to a controversial school prayer amendment, saying there was no reason to amend the Constitution to protect religious freedom in schools. "The issue of prayer in schools is a complex and emotional one for many Americans.... Some people say there should be a constitutional amendment to allow voluntary prayer in our public schools. But there already is one -- it's the First Amendment." The school prayer amendment has been pushed by religious conservatives and is scheduled for a vote.
[Washington Post, 5/31/98]
I haven't had much sleep lately. I think I have just broken my sleep deprivation record actually. A lot of things have happened in the course of the two and a half days I have been awake.
I had a doctors appointment (unexciting), attended a funeral for one of my great aunts, went for a short walk along the gorge, had chinese for dinner, went for a drive to Grand Island, rode around Goat Island, went to a Chocolate Cake party at a friend's house, watched the beginning of Billy Jack on TBS, went to the Casino and lost 20 bucks, and talked to an old friend who said she could hook me up with a Leftfield CD.
The Chocolate Cake party was fun. I smoked a couple of cigarettes (which I had vowed never to do again) while I was there. The host of the Chocolate Cake party was my friend Stephanie who did a good job of hosting the get together. We watched Honeymoon in Vegas with Nicholas Cage. I should not have allowed myself to go to the Casino later at the request of an entirely different set of friends either, especially seeing what they went through in the movie. But who knows how things go?
Unfortunately, I was too full when the cake was served to actually eat any, due to the size of the Chinese serving of Moo Goo Gai Pan that I had received for dinner earlier.
I think that if I had had more time sleep, I might have remembered the name of the Chinese Restaurant, but now that I know that it is located on Pine Ave. and 16th street and that the food was good, I know that I will probably go back there again and aquire the name. It was something like China Kitchen or something.
In addition to the Moo Goo Gai Pan, I had a bowl of steaming hot Hot and Sour Soup, and a cold can of Coca Cola.
I remember that the service was pretty quick and there were a lot of people in the store at about the same time we were, although hardly any of them elected to sit down in the restaurant area as we did.
We met a friend of a friend who had been out Motorcycling, while we were having dinner. Apparently he liked Chinese too.
The funeral deserves more note than it was given. My great aunt was always enjoyable to be around. She was my grandmother's sister, on my mother's side. She was the last of the three to pass away. She died of brain cancer and other complications on Monday night. It is sad to know that she will no longer be around for my great uncle who has also been good to our family, however, I know that she is in a better place now, be it heaven, or the cosmos.
I remember going swimming in her backyard swimming pool at cookouts when I was about ten years old. Her diving board was the first diving board that I ever jumped off of. I remember going to family gatherings where she and both of her sisters were all together.
I am glad to know that they will have a chance to get together and commune now that they have all gone beyond this world.
I am sure that as I continue to be more proficient with my writing I will have many more memories to recount with more details about all three of their lives, and possibly even the lives of my whole extended family.
It is strange how we seem to branch out, but hold together for the important things. It used to be that families all lived in the same regions. Now we are all over the country because we have cars. I guess that sort of moving around probably started even with the covered wagons in the 17 and 1800's. I hope that after the 1900's are over, we will be able to re-establish some of the family connections that have been so drastically fragmented by technological means. There is so much pressure centered on the millenium, that we are forgetting to look around and see where it is we actually are rather than just where we want to be. I would like to be a dozen dozen different places at the same time sometimes, but I am beginning to realize that I am here, and that I write.
The trip around Goat Island was nice. My friends Pat, Andy, Ryan, and I got to check out a view of the falls with the sun-roof of Andy's volkswagon cracked open so that we could feel the mist. We didn't really have time to get out and walk in the park. Pat said some things about developing the park's ecosystem by adding animals. I think he said something about a fox being introduced onto the island. Ryan and I played with a toy Gyroscope that Andy had purchased, while we were riding around the park. I am still not certain of how to make the thing work right. Andy knows how it works and might someday be able to impart the secret to us. (I don't follow verbal instructions very well, but give me a ripped open PC and I can do surgery).
Anyway, the last few days have been full of excitement. One event that really bothered me occurred on Tuesday. The transmission of my car died and it is currently in the shop. It happened the week after I graduated from college. Repairing the car is an added expenditure that I do not need.
But with all of the other good things that have been going on, I am not sure how I can complain. I have had a chance to hang out with a lot of my friends in the past couple of weeks, which is something that I have not had an opportunity to do all semester, and it even looks like someone is buying me a ticket to Darien Lake on Sunday. Maybe riding in a roller coaster will be like riding in my own car again.
Maybe by this time next week, I will have a car to ride in. And maybe it won't cost as much as I think it will, because I have been told that one of the parts from our old car might fit my Shadow. That will be an extremely fortunate situation and one that I cannot rail against the gods for.
Motorolla says that if I buy one of their pagers, it's like having a pair of wings (isn't cable tv great?) . There might be a cheap solution after all?!
I'll thank Nike and Apollo and send praises toward the heavens for a chance to travel at speeds not exceeding fifty five miles per hour again. But who am I kidding, can I bribe them so easily with this simple text?
PLEASE GOD GIVE ME BACK MY CAR! I'LL HOOK UP YOUR TERMINALS FOR FREE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS....! (Ask me about it sometime, there's even an angle in that.)
You can tell I haven't slept. Would any less deprived mind compose such a raucus an lengthy piece of work for such little reward? You are probably guessing correctly, it would not. But as I have said, through my continuance of being, I am here, and I plan to stay, and you can follow, or you can lead, or you can do whatever the heck else you want to do, but never underestimate the lyrically overpersonified
NOTORIOUS CJB .

Exy is now celebrating it's 6th month anniversary! (Yea!!!)
I have been working on this webzine for 6 months now, and it looks like it is coming along. I hope to be this satisfied with this page in a year. The time is coming now, when my internet bill will be due. I have to pay them or they are going to cut me off in a few days, so we'll see what happens. My car just broke down, so I might have to cut some corners and only pay for the next six months of service instead of a year.
I hope you all enjoy the artwork. I painted this one myself in acryllic back in 1996. The title of the piece is hardfall. The dimensions are slightly skewed so that I could fit it nicely onto the page, and the bottom edge is a little bit distorted because of the compression on the JPEG. I had to do that to get it down to a reasonable size.
I think I may have recruited a new writer or two last night. It sounds like it will be fun to see what they have to add to the webzine. I will be posting whatever they send, as soon as they send it.
I hope that June is Hot! May has been very wet and COLD. I was freezing last night. Hopefully things will shape up for us later next week. June is supposed to be the month when summer really starts happening. Don't forget about the Allen Town Art Festival on June 13th and 14th. It looks like we will have a few people at that event. I think that we should take over the city of Buffalo. I am going to have to contact more people to get them to go.
Talk to you with all the news that's fit to print as the news breaks,

June is supposed to be the month when summer really starts happening. Don't forget about the Allen Town Art Festival on June 13th and 14th. It looks like we will have a few people at that event. I think that we should take over the city of Buffalo. I am going to have to contact more people to get them to go.
Talk to you with all the news that's fit to print as the news breaks,
