Hey people, I'm just here to say, I hate you. Yes that's right, every last one of you. So, how's your summer been so far? Hopefully not as boring as mine. If you have been sitting in bed all day every day waking up at 10 or later and watching crappy shows such as Three's Company and other un-reality sitcoms, you know what I have loosely based my summer around. Looking back a few articles, Matt asked what lol is, and I regrettedly know that it means laugh out loud. Who the heck came up with that? The British? Fools. I would have written yesterday, but my parents just rearranged their room and put this very computer in a different corner, far from a phone jack. Just tonight (it being 10:00 right now) my mom bought a 25 ft cord, allowing me to type this here message. You know, I haven't bought a new CD in quite a while. But I'm too busy waiting to get a record needle to care. As soon as I get one, I'll be playing those Beatles records backwards listening to Revolution 9's "turn me on dead man". Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh... writer's block. What should I write?... I dunno. Maybe I should be doing something productive. All I can say is that my life is pretty plain. I like watching the puddles gather rain. And all I can do is just pour some tea for two. And state my point of view but it's not sane. I just want someone to say to me I'll always be there when you wake. You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today. So stay with me and I'll have it made. And I don't understand why i sleep all day, and i start to complain that there's no rain. And all i can do is read a book to stay awake, and it rips my life away but it's a great escape. All I can say is that my life is pretty plain. You don't like my point of view you think I'm insane. It's not sane. I just want someone to say to me I'll always be there when you wake. You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today, so stay with me and I'll have it made. Hey! I know, song of the day. I'll put the lyrics to a cool song in the news every day. That song by the way, was No Rain from Blind Mellon. That's a pretty cool song. I think it's time to go now, because it's 10:14 right now. TTFN, as the official order of gays, or OOG, says.

What does TTFN mean Kal? Anyway the other day I got the Grow-A-Frog I sent for in the mail and it's cool. It has flippers and lives in the water all it's live, but I don't know what to call it. Here's what I call it right now: Froggy, Frogger, Mr.Frogger, Mr.Froggy, Grof, Groffer, Grof-O-Mac, Joescepi Luigi Corazzelli, Artemis-Clyde Grof, and Jaegar. So what to call it maybe if we can get a poll up and running we might have you the people of America and the hidden U.S.S.R. (oh yeah it's still there and they're some of our best customers too) vote for the name. Here's some of the plans for our website in the future: 1. Fix the site up 2.Take over the world 3. Make Matt-O-Mac T-shirts (maybe a Kal shirt if he can come up with a marketing idea, Mekallica maybe) 5. Get The Pills up and running 6. Get the Green Midget online. Well I need to go now So bye.

TTFN obviously means ta-ta for now, you fool! Didn't you watch winnie the pooh as a kid (I don't mean your sister winnie the pooh)? A poll is a pretty good idea, I'll go to Chris's x-crate site to find the poll stuff. I personaly prefer the name Joescepi Luigi Corazzelli. About that song of the day thing, I've decided to make a seperate section fo all dat stuff. You know what I just found out? A needle and cartridge for a record player is like $40! And no Stephen Furlong's sister, you can't use a regular sewing needle to play a record, why the heck would a real one cost $40? First off, it would scratch the record beyond listening use, almost as bad as my dad's really old records. You should see his original The Beatles Second Album, back from 1964. It's all taped up on the side because he had a cat that would go into his room and scratch the sides up. there's no album sleeve to keep it safe, and the record itself has scratches all over like \|//|\\|\\\|_|/_\. About your Grow-A-Frog... what's up with those things? It seems kind of strange how they personify the frog, but then treat him as an inanimate object. That's like wrapping a kid up and labelling him "grow-a-brother". i noticed the name gorf is frog backwards, similar to your grof, and i think gorf would be a nice addition to the name list. Looking back at your letter i see what you've said about the U.S.S.R.'s being regulars... they must be the ones stalking me! This morning I woke up and there was a bug on the floor, as if it had been planted there... I almost peed the pajamas that I've been wearing for a week! Last night I was picking up shirts that have been lying around in corners forever, and i found another pincher bug in one of them, and put the soap to the test. It didn't take long, first his neck became non-working and his head sagged, then he just kinda twitched his pincher, and it went ( ), ( ), (), |... aaaaahhhhhhhhh... It seems every time I listen to S.C.I.E.N.C.E. by Incubus, I find another pincher bug crawling around. Now there's three lying around on my floor, so i have to be careful where I step. I think the song of the day today will be Hash Pipe by Weezer. Gotta love that high pitched squeel during the verse. I can't help my feelings I'll go out of my mind... Weezer's cool. Gotta get going on the polls and stuff. Buh-bye.
7/10/01 (Matt)
Kal why is the edit screen so long, fix it. Good pick for the song of the day, I need to get their Cd but i've heard Hash Pipe and it's really cool. Hmmm, well I can't speard the word to youth group about our website Kal, unfortunately their isn't another meeting for two weeks! The one this week was cancelled and the week after that there is a pool party for the girls only (which is most of the group)! I don't see what the idea is but maybe it's like when the boys were taken out of health class and the girls were given "Mystery" boxes. Nevermind about that. The names for my grow-a-frog have been narrowed down to these choices: 1. Gorf (Grof has been eliminated early in the goings), 2.Frogger, and 3. Joescepi Luigi Corazzelli. Remember when you vote that all add-ons such as -O-Mac and Mr. do apply to each name so take in consideration what you think sounds best with the add-ons. For example Joe(and or Scepi)-O-Mac, Gorf-O-Mac, Frogger-Mac (the "O" doesn't sound good with Frogger), Mr.Grof, Mr. Joescepi Luigi
Corazzelli, and Mr.Frogger. This "Stalker" that has been following Kal must be a really sick dude (maybe gay) to have picked a guy to stalk. So let me get it strait (that's how you spell it the "g" doesn't make the actual word strait) this guy is dropping pincher bugs in your house every time you play S.C.I.E.N.C.E. by Incubus, okay that's one sick dude. Kal i've got the directory and files made for The Pills we need to decide what colors it'll have on the page and what songs we do first so I guess i'll go for now and call Kal tomorrow.

Hey folkers, I got three cds yesterday, two of which I'm sharing with my mom, but the main one is L.A. Woman by The Doors. That's right, L.A. Woman. It's an excellent album, and no matter what style of music you like, I suggest you buy it. It's so good, I'm voting for it myself in my music charts, and then only Matt has to vote for it, which he will, and I'll review it. The first time you listen to it, you swear that you know all of the songs. My favorite song (besides L.A. Woman) is Hyacynth House, song number 7. It's a great catchy song that you'll be singing along to in no time. It is the shortest song on the album, reaching only 3 minutes and 14 or so seconds. It has three songs on the greatest hits, Love Her Madly, Riders On The Storm, and of course at the center of it all, L.A. Woman. The whole album is bluesy, and Jim Morrison sounds awesome singing just about anything (rap isn't singing, you wiggers). The other two albums I bought were Classic Queen and Queen Greatest Hits. My mom was the one who decided to buy buy them, but I think I'll be listening to them more. I see a little silhouetto of a man (scaramoush scaramoush will you do the fandango?) Thunderbolt and lightning very very frightning me (galileigho figaro) magnifico. Yeah, everyone's heard the Mountain Dew impersonation of Bohemian Rhapsody, but it's crap. I see a little silhouetto of a can (mountain dew mountain dew, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah)... That's crap. U gots ta get da reeeeel deeeeel yoooo! Eeehhhh, shut up. Wololo! The poll should be up and running and along the links on the left side of the page, over there <-- . I'm also planning on making a special page for TV commercials I hate. The song of the day today will be Hyacinth House by the Doors, it being so awesome. This morning I woke up and had a bad migraine; i still have a headache. First I couln't see, then my right hand and right side of my upper lip and nose went numb. I took a tylenol and felt a little better. But you know what? I think this is just another sick game that my stalker is playing on me. This morning I almost stepped on one of my mummified pincher bugs, who just never seem to go away. It's right by my amp and has been for days, I guess i should move it like the other two. So Matt, you don't like how the edit box is so big eh? What's wrong with is, huh? Too big for you? Of course it is! I guess I'll make it a little smaller, it is a little annoying. Shee ya laita ya bums!?
7/11/01 (Matt-O-Mac)
A little to many choices on the poll eh Kal? I need L.A. Woman Kal you must let me make a copy as soon as possible i'll make you a Cd full of Beatles song that YOU pick if you let me make a copy. Well, today I played the Un-Game over the phone, a little strange seeing as how there's no end to game but it did help out dying conversation. Well it's a tie game in the polls right now with Joscepi and Grof-O-Mac both owning one vote. The Americans like Grof-O-Mac but the U.S.S.R's like Joescepi so the battle of Bush and Stalin (he's still alive) still goes on. Jiminy Glick is getting a little old as he always moves around in his chair and chokes in every episode, but it's still intresting conversation wise. Mmmm Ritz crackers and cheese there's nothing like pure, refreshing Ritz crackers and you can put almost anything on them, yep i'll be excpecting tons of free Ritz crackers in the mail. 2 weeks later (knock on door) "hellooooooooooo are you here to give me my delicious Ritz crackers!" (mailman) "Yea I got your crackers," (points gun at Matt and shoots, turns his back as he leaves the door his jacket says Triscuit!) bye.

Hey losers. Wow, what a long detailed message from Matt. Half the time I was trying to figure out what the heck he was talking about. Anyways last night I went to the fair with my sister and her friend, but split away from them before we were even in the gates. I bought a bracelet thingy which lets you ride all the the rides with no charge, except for the $12 you have to pay for the bracelet. Overall, I got more use of the bracelet that I would have if I bought $20 of tickets, so that was good. For the first hour, the only people I recognized were fools like Kyle Smith and Sean Levreault (oooooooooooops! I guess I used their last names on accident)! But then I found Elliott making fun of his drunk. (That's what he calls his dad). And because his dad was, "drunk and poor", Elliott had no money to go on any rides, so we just walked around for a while, stalking Kevin Lee (oops!) because he was wearing a Slipknot shirt, and we can't accept that. Every once and a while, we went back to Stage 1 (where's stage 2?) and he called his dad drunk. I think they just call it stage 1 to make it sound like they have a stage 2 and that makes you think they have money, which of course they don't. The fair is shrinking, as they've been taking rides and attractions out every year, but haven't made a new one in at least three years. Well eventually, I said I felt like going on the Gravitron and I'd catch up with him later, but little did I know, I would never see him again... that night. So by the end of the night, I had gone on the Gravitron at least 8 or 9 times, and the spinny ride two to the left of the Gravitron once. So ten rides for twelve dollars isn't bad, considering you get about 5 rides for ten bucks i think, or maybe 5 rides twenty bucks, but that would be a plain rip-off. Maybe later Matt can clear this up for me. By the way Matt, the fair started yesterday and ends Sunday, so hurry it up, just four days. One time when I was on the Gravitron, there was a little nerdy kid next to me, and before we even started I climbed up the pads and held on, so the kid says, "you're not allowed to do that! the sign says keep feet on floor at all times!" and i felt like saying, "shut up kid!", and then when everyone was stuck to the wall, the kid says, "well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em," as if he knew what he was talking about. I felt like smacking him for being so cliche and not even knowing what the heck cliche means. And for my readers who I assume I have who don't know what cliche means, I'm not gonna tell you. Look it up in the dictionary, but you still won't understand it. Asides all that, I just learned how to play Hyacinth House (for all you people like Matt, it's pronounced HIGH-uh-zynth huh-owze) on guitar. It's fairly easy once you know what the chords are, there are only about four. My favorite phrase from the L.A. Woman CD is in L'America (pronounced la-mair-REEK-uh), where Morrison sings,
He'll change your weather, change your luck,
Then he'll teach you how to... find yourself.
It's funny because you think that he's gonna swear. The music stops for a second, then he says find yourself. Hey Matt, remember when the Deejay cut off L.A. Woman two seconds before Morrison starts singing Mr. Mojo rising? He said it was going into eight minutes. But even after the mojo rising part, it's only about six minutes into it, I'm sure he played some six minute songs during his crapathon, and I'm sure we wouldn't have interrupted his crappy schedule of playing poseur-ific songs for the people who are more popular than us. Even the popular people themselves say that people always pick them over us. What a world we live in. DIE DIE DIE! 201

Hmmm..... Matt hasn't written yet. Nothing to follow up to. But still this is probably the most we've written in a week since the first week. That first week we each wrote three times a day. And we wrote so much in each thing. We're kind of like the Beatles. They released like ten albums their first year. But then they kind of cut down on the writing and releasing. Just like us, but we're just kinda getting lazy. Well, nothing much has happened today, I didn't really do anything last night, except I went to Karate and almost dehydrated myself. I came home and drank about six or seven cups of Grape Soda. I'll write more when more stuff happens. buh-bye. 203

So maybe we aren't doing so much but hey as Paul McCartney said "We improve over time, much like a fine wine" i'll put as under as a Bougela 01. If you don't get it you will soon because if I can come over your house (proably have to be next weekend depending on when I go to movies and if Youth Group is on Thursday) i'll let you listen to The Beatles Anthology 3 which has alot of cool outakes and stuff where they just talk. Uh, I don't know Elliot's Dad but I guess if he likes Uncle Jemimah Pure Mash Liquor (you know his wife Aunt Jemimah the pancake lady) then I "guess" you can call him a drunk. As you can see Kal doesn't really care if he's rude so there's no helping in that category. Uh, Kal the Beatles only released 13 original albums in their career so Ten in one year is a little too much of an exageration. Don't think i'll make to fair if it ends tomorrow which is unfortunate but i'm watching fireworks on the top of my Dad's hill tonight (put in the Magical Mystery Tour and put it on track number 2, budum ching). Whoa, I just went outside and what a view the sun's going down and I can see all of my favorite place in the world (I haven't been many places) Mystic. Well I think going to go sit outside and listen to some music g'bye.
