seasick, docked

i am wearing faded black 505's, a navy blue "hapiness is" bar t-shirt, a brown belt with my name "timothy" etched into the leather, and white tennis shows. i have a moustache. i play softball.

i am old and feeble. liver spots scatter across my face. i don't notice that my mouth is gaping open. nor do i register the string of drool stretching from my my tongue, which resting on top of my teeth, to my top set of teeth. i am hunched forward gripping the steering wheel tightly. i wait patiently at the intersection. i am sure it is not my turn. nothing is happening. what am i doing here.

spooky

after seven months in europe, my brother is back in the uk-town. he brought back a hearty pile of postcards, including one from the capuchin cemetary in rome. since about the 1600's the capuchin monks took the bones of their dead and decorated their monastery with them. the remains of over 4000 monks adorn the monastery. death wielding a scithe, an hour glass with wings, all made of human bones. some seriously creepy shit. am totally into it. now i really want to go to europe. i could do a spooky/gothic tour of europe. instead of wasting my time in school, maybe i should head over after the pear season.

cody max applied here. mos def will put a word for him. pretty much demanded a raise today. will get crakked if it doesn't go through.

funny man fawns over my father

ha ha. my dad was mentioned in dave barry's column last sunday. too bad dave barry suks.

....Our next incident is described in a Dec. 15, 1998, article from the Santa Rosa, Cal., Press Democrat, written by Mike Geniella and sent in by many alert readers. It states that Sergio Gutierrez, a truck driver for Sea Products Inc., was driving a tractor-trailer on Highway 101 at 3:15 a.m. when he slammed into a bear crossing the road. Gutierrez was thrown from the truck, which then overturned, the result being that he was, according to the story, ``buried under an avalanche of frozen mackerel.''

i should mention, my dad is the writer, and not the truck driver.

career opportunities, or Ukiah is a majick place that i love

the other night, the ukiah police were trying to scare transients out of the abandoned palace hotel by having the police dog bark into the patrol car's megaphone.

also, the bad place, aka the sunset, aka the spunset, aka the skumbset, aka perkin's street grill, is hiring for security.

seeing stars

posted up at home last night. at about 11:30, i said fuk it, cleaned myself up a bit and went into town. happened upon travii, and went up to his place. girls, brews, and levi. drank a sobe zen blend to my dome, and got props from the ladies for being sober.

proper ukiah night prompted us to go for a little walk to the stoner park, aka 40 park, aka mcgarvey park, located across the street from the cop shop. we hung for a while...then i noticed the west-side constellation, cassiopea. a giant "w" in the eastern sky, whenever i look at it i hear dre's "let me ride" or eazy-e's "real mutha-fukin' g's." the west-side constellation is one of the best things about june.

my brother returns from europe on tuesday...am looking forward to that, may even take the day off.

BFD is right

just saw joe's pictures from bfd. they totally rule. fritch and smith with fred durst. fritch and smith with pauli shore. that wacky joe. dumb girls. they'll be up on upupdowndown by the end of the coming week. unnnhhhh!

only had four discs at work today, so i listened to each like three times. now i have shades apart seeing things, hot water music fuel for the hate game, face to face big choice and rocket from the crypt scream, dracula, scream! stuck in my damn stupid head. also i am dumb, and bragging about my stupid music selection.

i wonder what show i missed

fuk. spent 8 whole hours at work today, no breaks, no lunch. i am finally done with this project; this stupid, immense project that has sukked away four months of my life.

successfully missed my ride to the city. no fuking show for me. ukiah is going to be fun tonight.

get used to it

yes. it is now about 4:15. am still at work. my ride to the city and the show leaves any minute now. this rules.

upupdowndown totally came together.

hmmmmm. been breaking my back at work the past few days, trying to get the ammonia risk management plan i've been working on for the past four months done. on thursday i pulled a 16 hour day, friday a 12 hour day, and here i am in on a saturday. it's about 11:45 right now, should be done by about 13:30 if all goes well. the absurdity of this project....you can't imagine the kind of figurative red tape our governement puts businesses through...

as mentioned before, am going to the nerve agents show tonight at the cocodrie with co-worker and brother of garrett, kristian alto.

joe and phil won't go, as they are feverishly working to get upupdowndown online.

the other day kristian & i were talking about girl, interrupted . i realized i was generally pretty happy (delusional) up until the hours i saw that movie. i remember walking out of the ukiah 6 thinking, "i used to be depressed. i need to be more depressed. i was pretty sweet back then" and i woke up depressed the next day, and have been that way since. kinda weird how i turned this round on like a switch that i can't seem to turn off.

peteg 6/20/00 1:11 pm
at nod's party at capri's smith donned the germs leather that has at various times belonged to jade, merchie and smith, and he became "puke anarchy." he was sober, but staggering around flipping off chicks and bumping into dudes like he was bodhi or something.

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:12 pm
hahahhaha anarchers!!!!!! i've never seen puke anarchy, but he sounds all real. more stories! peteg's stories are the bestest!

peteg 6/20/00 1:12 pm
later, wearing the same gear, he took kevin graham's aviator amber shooting glasses and became a rock star. by my prompting, after every three sententces he would tilt his head back to show his nostrils and ask "am i cool?" and then brush his nostrils with his hand. it was pretty funny, because 3/4 of the people there took that shit for real

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:13 pm
hahahahhahahahha niiiiice. am i cool? excellent. encore! more!

peteg 6/20/00 1:13 pm
in the middle of the night that dave guy that always wears red and drives a blue caddy pissed on smith's feet, thinking the bed in capri's loft was a toilet. smith's pants, pager, feet got soaked

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:14 pm

peteg 6/20/00 1:14 pm

peteg 6/20/00 1:17 pm
on friday night i went to the 7-11 to meet up with the crew after listening to the new lc at travii's. i walk up and see cougar asking nod to beat him up. then a 14 yr old girl stuck her head out the 2nd floor window and per cougar's request, spit in his mouth.

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:17 pm
;lkasjdf;lkajsdf;j why was cougar asking to be beat up by nod?

peteg 6/20/00 1:18 pm
i round the corner to see a helluv drunk scarb leaning up against a pick up, dry heaving and staggering. i ask him what he's doing and he slurs "practicing random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty"

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:18 pm
you have the greatest anecdotes in the history of man

peteg 6/20/00 1:19 pm
cougar can be a nine ball. later cougar rolled solo to the sunset. he saw beverage pissing in the bathroom and reached between bev's legs and gave his nuts a little squeeze. beverage lost it, elbowed him in the face, and proceeded to beat the shit out of him. cougar has two shiners and a bruise on his forehead

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:20 pm
lmao "gave his nuts a little squeeze"

peteg 6/20/00 1:21 pm
early friday night i rolled up to low gap for nod's birthday bbq and the first thing i saw was n*** cutting a line of coke with an atm card on top of a milwaukee's best ice 12 pack box

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:21 pm
my....god.......im truly amazed by all of this

peteg 6/20/00 1:22 pm
i talked to n8 about klebold & harris and kip kinkel. it ruled. he loves human racists. when patricia commented that she couldn't imagine anyone even thinking of that shit, n8 got crakked and told her could.

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:24 pm
ahahahha. tell me more about people.

peteg 6/20/00 1:25 pm
i am starting to run dry...

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:25 pm

peteg 6/20/00 1:33 pm
....nod, jerry & i were rocking out to "fade to black" as the girls got ready to go to the bar. patricia came up and turned off the stereo & announced it was time to go. baffled, we were like whatever. as we walk down the st. i say "patricia, you'll never be able to understand me because you don't understand rocking out" she got craked....

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:34 pm
sweet.

peteg 6/20/00 1:35 pm
soon after i started saying "you can really get to know a person, have a good idea who they are, really like each other, but sooner or later you get to a point where you just can't know a person any better, and you'll never know me because you don't know rokking out." she flipped out, told me to fuck off, told me i always make fun of her and i need to stop. it was fresh, everybody else told her she was crazy...

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:36 pm
hahah pete is making people crazy, sweet

peteg 6/20/00 1:37 pm
....they told her that i am a stand up guy, she's trippin'. she got punked. then she threw up in the 7-11. karma!

peteg 6/20/00 1:40 pm
cougar kept asking me if i thought he was gay the other night...
"yeah, sometimes i do."
"well i am not."
"i hope that works out for you. keep up the good work."
"do you really think i am gay..."
etc, etc, ad nauseum

pabst_ 6/20/00 1:40 pm
hahahhaah. cougar is just a sexual outlaw

peteg 6/20/00 1:44 pm
yeah, out of society's bounds. brown interviewed here yesterday. he is making min. wage at the brewery and is looking to the sheds for skrill. i told him the spanky story and in an ironic twist, he asked "when is that guy going to do something with himself?"

pabst_ 6/20/00 2:02 pm
hahahaha, that is a fantastic quote from brown.

peteg 6/20/00 2:03 pm
yeah, it was pretty nice. i wish i was you and only got to hear this stuff second hand instead of having to live it.

see me use euro dating

am posting this for posterity. it was in the ukiah daily journal on 11 june, 2000.

ARREST
-- Nathan Daugherty, 23, of Ukiah, and Jeremiah Williams, 23, of Hopland, were arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct at 2:40 am Friday in the 300 block of Spring Street. They were reportedly walking up the street screaming and kicking fences.


apparently jj was swinging from porches like a monkey. they were thrown in the drunk tank for the night. n8 kept playing with the intercom switch, and in some way roughed up jj. jj was passed out when johnny law brought them breakfast, so n8 ate both their meals.

or was it "yokayo pomo, fucker"

unnnhhh! joy division permanent going off in my cd player at work. went to walmart on my lunch break and saw "yokayo pomo fucker" painted on a van's spare tire case. when i returned from lunch, kristian "k-rock" alto was in the office, just starting. we have tentative plans to scope the nerve agents at the cocodrie in ess eff on saturday. rumoured to open is the explosion...they are on jade tree records, but apparently are a '77 style punk mosh.

joe, fritch and phil did a bunch of work on upupdowndown yesterday. i think we can have that up by the end of the week.

molson ice and fork surgery

spanky bailed this weekend, prolly from being high on beer, and opened up the wound on his thigh. instead of going to the hospital, spanky had scarb remove the staples in his leg with a fork. the leg, of course, got crazy infected. susan described scarb's medical "procedure" to smith as the "stupidest idea anyone's ever had since walking on bridge

last night, bob virgin took one look at spanky's leg and without hesitation, drove him to the emergency room. the doctors were shocked, immediately plugged an anti-biotic iv into his arm, and told him that if his leg got any more infected he could lose it. when they released your homey, they told him to keep the iv in for the night and return for another in the morning. of course, spanky took the iv out because he "wouldn't be able to sleep with it in" and grabbed a molson ice from the fridge.

oh, really

smith and i broke our no-drinking binge in ukiah last night at brandon's birthday party. had a pretty good time last night, but am pretty fought today. helluv washed up, almost slipped into skandal with several of the wrong chicks and realized that soon i will be 24.

been rockin' ...and out come the wolves all weekend. that album is the key, i have prolly scoped it like 8 times in the past three days. also on hit....face to face, don't turn away. both these albums have heavy nostalgia value for me, and prolly, i am going off so hard to them because i have a certain amount of dissatifaction with the present. whatever. eff it.

heard the new loose change disc at chon's on friday night. it's helluv good. the first four traks are hard-melodic, in the vein of this good riddance or kid dynamite. # five is traditional loose change, and trak six starts off with an early 80's new wave, kinda inxs feel to it and merges into classic loose change form. chon does a duet-style on the vocals on this track and it sounds really cool. didn't scope a lyric sheet, but they sounded pretty good. have had the songs stuk in my head all weekend, so they must be doing something right. i can't wait for it to drop so i can scope the reaction to it. it's nice to see that band back in the swing of things.

i live in a world of fantasy regarding UUDD

upupdowndown is limping along but should be out within the week, i hope, i pray.

smith and fritch hit the road with the afi's sometime early next week and will be gone for about a month. garrett goes to alaska for two weeks on sunday. so i am pretty much posting up in ukiah, pretty much. excellent.

kcin says there is a tiger army show with the nerve agents on july 7 in orange county. sounds all word, not sure if i can make it.

summer breeze

so fuking hot in the uk town. nights have been nice. at night, smith and i have been walking from his house to mill street to get ice creams and then over to garrett's on grove. walks through the west side are always the key, especially when one is avoiding the skumbs that hang out in susan's pool. i always forget how key ukiah can be in june.

first concert in the park with pretty packed. nice change in that there wasn't a single person i went to high school with asking me what i am up to.
the usual assortment of skumbs and f-w's going off; it wasn't exactly hopping off, but it didn't entirely suk for once.

went to the new downtown brew pub. smith and i drank ice teas as we are currently on a bar ban/no drinking binge in the uk town, so i can't comment on the beer. they took the black bart bar from the palace, which is cool, and it seems to be a fairly sucker free zone, for the time being. drying out seems to be paying off for us pretty well. both of us agree that our game (the little to be had) is in top form.

wishing i could go to bfd....but the afi's play at like 4, and the shoreline is skandalously far away from here, and i have missed a lot of work lately to go off with various lifestyles...including peeping the punk-o-rama tour in chico.

the distillers cut out of their tour, so pressure point subbed for them in chico. the show went off. chico started singing bar room heroes at the murphys set their gear up, and the point crew led some seriously intense oi! chants. during the encore of "skinhead on the mbta" & "dirty deeds done dirt cheap" (ac/dc) the crowd rushed the stage. i thought the place was going to fall apart.

in other chico news, the union of the dead guys just self released an ep recorded at chico state. it's helluv good, i am backing it 110%. chico is a lot more punk than it was a year ago which is cool, although i think i would rather visit than live there.
