Congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE

1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.



They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.



Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.



We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking .



As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.



Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.



We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.



We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.



We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......



WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!



We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.



No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.



We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem .



We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!



We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no

lawsuits from these accidents
.



We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.



We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,

made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.




We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!



Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!



The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!



This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!



The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.



We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned



HOW TO

DEAL WITH IT ALL!



And YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!



You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.



and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

Too Cool To Care (The Crusader Speaks!)


Wake Up And Realize We Are Doomed...

I wish I were joking, but I'm not. Socially we're the equivalent of pondscum. The once-uncool Conservative Right has been taken over by Neocon swine and it only gets worse from here.

Remember the '60s and '70s when the young people of the nation decided they weren't going to have any more of the shit? Remember when they took the streets by storm, making the lives of every cop harder by the day? Remember when "Hell No! We Won't Go!" was the mantra and you didn't want to be in politics for facing the business end of these crazy people who were bent on seeing change?

Know what it was? A test run. After nearly three complete decades of decadence, drugs, money and all-you-can-eat-economy-size-built-for-your-conveinience that's when we notice that we've been lulled to sleep and what we woke up to wasn't the nice world that was there when we fell asleep but a full-blown night terror from which there is no waking up.

Now, where does our news take us? War, Famine, Pestilence, Death, buy the Acura, the Lexus, All-American: That's Chevrolet, Godiva, the X-Box 360 Now With The Brain You Lack Because We Not Only Bought That But Your Soul Too. Are you getting the picture? How hard was it just to get off our asses and decide that this isn't what we want to hear? How many of us wanted facts?

The West Memphis Three Case...I could go on about this one but it was someone who didn't support them that pointed out, "If Paradise Lost 1 and 2 hadn't been made, no one would give a rat's ass about this case." Wow...That's sort of a statement isn't it? He's right! No one outside of the small circle dealing with that case would have known a damned thing about it and probably wouldn't have cared.

Look at us now. We're all superstars, no spectators. Where is our adoring audience? MySpace has become High School Round Two. Cyberschoolyard bullies, con-artists and the overwhelming popularity contest runs rampant. Hey, we're all supposed to be stars like it's our goddamned destiny. If you're not a star by proxy then tear down the work that one piece of swine did. We're all too cool to care.

Hey Rawanda's in a bind! Who cares?

There are no WMDs in Iraq? Aw, you just don't back this country!

What the fuck are we possibly going to do in Iran? Blow up more camel jockeys!

Where's Osama? I thought we were going to catch him? He's hiding in caves! Who Cares?!

Our Legal system is in dire jeopardy... Yeah, so what, I'm gonna see Kelly Clarkson!

Hurricanes damaged the Gulf Coast which still hasn't recovered. So what, let someone else handle it!

Too cool to give a shit. What's worse is this goddamn JonBenet Ramsey case. I will agree that her death was sad and tragic but how many more children her age are getting brutally murdered and I guarantee you there aren't even half of them getting that kinda coverage. John Mark Karr should have been left in Thailand until the DNA came back. After that, find the killer or killers.

There are more gross miscarriages of justice out there. Everything from our legislative branch taking money over ethics to our politicians doing the same.

We're all in harm's way, make no mistake about it and we'll continue to be that way.

Going back to WM3, I've also heard, "No small group of activists are going to change a thing."

Ok, granted but at least I got off my ass.

See, the problem is with those that grew up around the time Vietnam was going on and most of the Boomer Generation is that half of them are in power and they bitch incessantly about us, the youth, having everything handed to us and we won't do shit. Ok, I'll give them that but don't come bitching at me, slinging stupid remarks about "crusading" when the point is I've Gotten Off My Ass To Do Something Besides Bitch. If you can't be satisfied, that is not my problem. Take it like a man, suck it up, rise above it, overcome and adapt.

As much as I don't like giving into my anger, it gets to the point where the next damned finger that gets pointed at me, blaming me for the world's ills when I'm trying to help out in fixing something that isn't right...I'm going to break it and everyone will hear the snap.

Wake up. Check this out.

Things were set up to be a certain way. It's supposed to be fair to everyone. I know life isn't fair but our system was damned certain to be just that.

There is the way things are, which is anything but fair. Darlie Routier, The WM3, Mumia-Abu Jamal, The Lindale, TX Baby, Ray Krone, just to name a few of the really fucked-around cases that we have that few have looked up. Ever heard of Tyler's Law? Check that one out sometime. That's a seriously fucked-up case.

Still, for those of you that still remain Too Cool To Care, I'll be waiting til the day your case comes up because it's headed straight for you. When it does, I'm sure you'll be wondering just where all of your supporters went. Sure, you might post to websites or have someone do it for you but when it all comes down, it will be your neck on the block, not mine. What do I care? If I take on your case, I'm in some damned-fool crusade, right? This one activist won't change shit for you. I did try though, just remember that. I tried before the train hit you.

The Crusader Hath Spoken.

It's That Time of Year Again.

Hey everyone,

As many of you who come here (and are actually bored enough to read my mental shit) know, Storm Season for us Gulf Coasters is here. Now, I don't live on the coast, I'm a little further inland BUT many of you know that Hurricane Rita took out power for me for nine days and I had to stay at work for a few of those days. Well, currently, at the prison I work, they're already letting us know to prepare for the possibility of this storm brewing in the Carribbean (Ernesto) to come this way if it enters the Gulf. Which means that, if this one heads for us, I'll be at work and offline for anywhere from several days to two weeks, maybe more depending on what happens after that.

No one looks forward to these things and I know I damn sure don't want that thing coming here but the possibility remains and, thankfully, I've got about 9/10s of my preps made. For those of you who have my digits handy and want to talk to me in case it does come through, that's fine but understand that I may not be able to talk long due to limited battery and whatever the power situation may be.

I'm not saying that this one will hit us, I'm just saying, I'm not taking my chances and I'll be sure to be as safe as possible. We're all watching it at present and waiting on the word as to what the path of this one will be. Hopefully no one I know or I will be in it's path. Keep your fingers crossed. I know I will be.

Anyway, the next playlist for Wednesday Morning from 2am - 4am EST kinda tentative and The Sunday Morning from 12am - 3am as well at least until we figure out what's happening. I'll be making the playlist for Wednesday soon and posting it. Just remember, that particular show may or may not happen, depending on whether or not I need to go around making last-minute preps. My blog on Blogger (http://thegenocydalempyre.blogspot.com/) will be the place to check if the storm hits us as I'll be leaving audio updates there.

Thanks Everyone! I appreciate all the support and patience.

Misadventures In The Electron Stream

I thank God for machines being stupid. I don't want artificial intelligence. The whole concept just doesn't sit right with me. Come with me. Embark on this misadventure with me and let me give you some perfect illustrations as to why.

This week, Stretch from Hooah Radio came into contact with me. He'd wanted to talk to me about possibly doing a talk show with me. Hey, I've been wanting to do a show that's strictly talk! This was my opportunity. I've proven to myself that I kick ass as a rock DJ but now, co-host on a talk show...let's see if I could pull that off. Nothing to lose but failure, right? I told him to get in touch with me this weekend coming and we would talk.

Friday came along and my anticipation had been high. The thought of a talk show may finally become a reality. For once, I may be able to display my abilities to quit relying on music to carry me forward and just do it myself. Let's see how my persona lasts under the duress of having to carry total subject content and become educated in the things that I may not know. That day proved to be a success, having met Stretch and discussing with him, at length, the idea. He would handle the technical/broadcast end. I would handle podcasting and the oddball content searches. We even settled on a name right then and there...The Talk Show. It sounded simple, basic, devoid of life and, most of all, about as uncreative as could be. I'm not sure that Stretch intended it to be that way but I knew I did for the simple fact that we were creative, full of life and anything but basic. Who the hell said we needed some great huge show title to carry us. Oh no, the 6'9" Star Wars geek and myself would do it all on our own.

Without warning, as we were discussing ideas and compiling notes, one of Hooah's station managers wanted him to take the stream. Without warning, the Pre-Pilot edition of The Talk Show aired. Much of the content was actually whipped out right out of our heads. We talked with reckless abandon, sparing no feelings and disemboweling the rules that Hooah had set forth. What rules we hadn't broken, we had tread so borderline that we'd end up strung up by our toes had a station manager been tuned in. I don't DJ for Hooah, even though my family does have quite the military background ending with me. I don't like their rules. You can't discuss politics or religion...even to joke. You can't talk about suicide...understandably so. You can't give out a soldier's personal details. Got that, that would be putting them into the path of some improvised incendiary explosive device otherwise known as, but not limited to, a pipe bomb. Some of the rules I understand but others I think are shit. The shit rules I challenge to no end until the logic is presented to me and that's only if the rationale isn't fucked.

Still, a large quantity of The Genocydal Empyre v2.0 would be put highly at risk if I actually worked there. Here I was though, shaking two middle fingers in the face of authority...and they weren't even there to see it. The show did go on, of course. Four straight hours of nothing but Stretch and myself gabbing on about bullshit including obscure dumb laws that should have been repealed by now. I'm thoroughly intent on breaking as many of these as I can. Some of them, I've already broken and am quite happy to report that I've gotten away with them untouched. Now, all I'm waiting on is the show to come through so I can dice it up for podcasts.

Near the end of the Pre-Pilot edition of The Talk Show, my monitor began to give out. I'd attempted to switch it out with the monitor that Zephyrael and Lycan left over here as a spare and it gave out entirely.

"Shit!" I said, cursing my rotten luck. I had a solo show to do that Saturday night. This trip to Wal-Mart was going to be an emergency trip. I thought I'd pick up a CRT monitor pretty cheap from there but when I got to the Wal-Mart, all they had were the flat-panel monitors that were only slightly more expensive than the only CRT monitor on the shelves. I grabbed the flat screen thinking that it might free up some desk space for a change and allow me to see things a little more sharply. It did. Then it was the grocery round-up. Stuff I knew I'd need for later. Nothing superlative in that, I think. Just listening to DerDRAKOS on my iPod, manhandling a shopping cart that had become loaded up with the things I'd need.

While sitting in the checkout lane, it occurred to me that I may be running on empty. I hadn't slept yet and now I was already into Saturday Morning and ready to crash after I got home, put all this food away and the initial set up and test of the monitor. It was then that a woman behind me had seen the cat food in my cart and asked me, "Oh...do you have cats?"

The bewildered look that I faced as I turned around told a story to me. She could not understand how one, such as I could have enough compassion inside me to raise one cat let alone many.

"No," I told her, "I'm actually on my Purina diet again. I figured I'd give it another try after waking up in the intensive care unit with tubes coming out of nearly every opening and an intravenous drip in each arm."

The man behind her looked even more bewildered than she did.

"Why are you dieting like that?" she asked. I could tell that the entire thing had not only flown over her head but had sailed wide into Destination: Unknown.

"Well," I said, "You see, the concept is quite simple. I stuff my pockets full of these little nuggets and just eat a few whenever I become hungry. The nutritional value is quite high and the diet does work."

"But it landed you in the hospital!" she exclaimed, "Didn't it?"

That's when I looked at her again. Her poor enfeebled human mind was locked into some kind of logic war with itself. The programming was now intensely teetering on the verge of Oblivion. Time to push it over the edge.

"Oh no no no no!" I said, in all seriousness, "I couldn't resist the overwhelming urge to drop to my side in the middle of the street to lick my genitalia and then a car hit me. That's what landed me in the hospital."

I never cracked a smile.

The man behind her roared into fits of laughter. I thought he would expire upon us from lack of oxygen due to the intensity of his laughter. The unknown woman had simply looked as though she were about to crumble. That mask of sanity upon her face was slowly slipping away. She vacated our line and simply joined another.

As my groceries were being passed through the scanner, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was the Laughing Man again.

"Hey," he said, "You never cracked a smile. Were you serious? Did you mean all of that shit you told her."

"Not one single word," I said as the total came up. I paid it, bid him a good day and walked, leaving him in even more laughter than when he'd asked me.

After setting up, putting away and taking care of the finishing touches on rearranging the computer desk and making sure everything was right for the show. I went to bed...at 4:00 pm.

It's the latest I've stayed up yet. Now, my skin crawls because of it. I'd spent too much time in the damned daylight again and it had left me sapped of any type of recourse I had hoped to gain from it.

I woke up just in time to get everything ready for the show. Last minute emails, myspace postings, bulletins, reposting the playlist, announcements and looking at what the ignorant fools on the Free The West Memphis Three message board were saying and then it was time to bring up the program, send out the messages, turn on the KrushBot and then....showtime!

During the rearrangement, the phalanx of cables and wires in the back of the computer had become tangled, causing a mess. Little did I know I was in for more technical difficulty ahead. Lisa, my manager, was going to be calling in, talking about J-Sin Trioxin's band Mr. Monster, one of the bloodiest horror-punk bands in existence, the Michale Graves "Almost Home 2" Tour, The West Memphis Three DNA testing and a host of other updates I couldn't recall as of right now. Everything was ready and then we were supposed to take the air. Problem, the microphones were picking up nothing. I cut to another song. Just long enough to give me time to figure out what the bloody hell was wrong now. I'd just awakened less than an hour before and was not ready for any more technical difficulties. They weren't plugged in. The splitter had been freed from it's mooring in the jack at the back of the computer. I stuck it back in and cut back to my voiceover music to find that the mics were still not picking us up. Again, I cut to music and, this time, I realized, I hadn't fully plugged the splitter back into the port. Damnable Machines! Impudent piece of technology!

Finally, we took the air and it was off with the updates, DerDRAKOS' premier, Dr. Misty (our psychologist) talking about sociopathy, psychopathy and it's application to the West Memphis Three Case. The whole interview took two parts and was not only in-depth but this was one of the best shows ever committed to hard drive space in my opinion. It would make for great podcasting.

Or would it?

No. For the second damned Saturday night in a row, the show didn't save. Once again, no podcasts and the last two shows had been so mediocre I wouldn't bother clipping the voice segments out of it. This one had been full of outbursts and clarification, vilification and catharsis and, at it's denouement, a real sense of total satisfaction. But it had not been saved. It never encoded itself. Nothing to show for it once again.

Now, it's Sunday morning and I'm disappointed all over again. I had wished to unleash upon my machine and it's programming. I wanted to blast away at it with a flamethrower making the point that my wrath upon it would never be complete. Instead, I went and did my laundry.

I have gone through it one more time just to make sure. I have even tested it. If it does, however, fail to record again, the program is more likely than not to face imminent deletion. This program is far too errant for me to be keeping around if it won't do the one thing I need it to do which is archive the damned show.

This is precisely why I don't want artificial intelligence. The damned things won't do what we tell them to do now. If we allow them to think for themselves...they will hunt us down like dogs and destroy us to the last.

Adventures In Correspondance

Ok, so out of four people that I've written (all of them incarcerated) only one has responded. After two letters from her we've covered the subjects of The Occult, Life in our respective microcosms, music and our typical day-to-day. Interesting conversations to say the least.

Well, after much poking and prodding from my friends as to what she's done to land herself in prison, I've decided that it was time to look it up. Fine, great. You know, I wasn't going to ask. Why? It's not necessarily someone's past that concerns me a great deal but who they are and what they're doing now. What have they learned from their past? How have they matured since then? What sort of plans for the future do they have? What sort of life are they going to make for themselves?

You see, with people in prison, all the outsiders see is the bottom line...what they've done. There is no consideration as to what had actually occurred, it's guilt, plain and simple. It saddens me to see that type of mentality. I'm not saying it's right by any means but I do understand it. Still, I decided to do the search through the TDCJ database to see what, if anything, was on her record.
In my mind, I figured that it was probably some really numbfuck charge and she got a real prick of a hanging judge for that one. What did I find? Aggravated Robbery. Ok. I do know she mentioned in her first letter to me that she "was collateral damage behind someone else's bullshit." Personally, she's had enough people doubting her. I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt but, still, I'll never ask. I know all I need to know and we're getting along through this correspondance. We share a lot of the same interests and we just have a lot to talk about in general. Sounds good to me.

What do I get in the meantime? I'm getting the fuck ribbed outta me that I have a would-be stalker on my hands. I'm not pissed about it but, please, people, get some new material. I was expecting that much at least.

Try to do some good somewhere and you get it in the side, yeah? This, however, isn't the worst of it. I'm getting slammed around like Napoleon Dynamite going up against The Undertaker at Wrestlemania XXX on the WM3 board by two people who aren't supporters whose tampons have their fuses lit...and they're quick-burning. No lie, you prove them wrong and they simply resort to mudslinging and namecalling.

Lord Genocyde's Message to them:
Hey, you know, I know what it's like to be a geek and not be able to get a date for saturday night but I am living proof that a comic-book readin, D&D playin, Technocrat CAN get laid. If you can't then how about GETTING THE FUCK OUTTA YOUR MOM'S BASEMENT FOR A FUCKIN CHANGE! I do believe I have won that arguement! And to them, I give the 21-Fuck You Cannon Salute. End of Transmission.

Now, back to the story. So anyway, this penpal thing has been bloody awesome for something to do when I have fuck-all else to do, which happens these days during the weekdays. Guess what? Not much in the way of activity online late at night so I hit those lulls. Those lulls are what led me to inmatesforyou.com in the first place. Besides, the one that didn't respond to me that is also in Texas is in for Murder. Yeah, I looked her up too. One of the letters was actually returned. She wasn't there in Indiana and no forwarding address. Probably for the best. My world is a dark one. Not one that many are willing to go headlong into for participation if you know what I mean. Each day is a fight against daylight and it's harmful effects on me. This part actually makes it bearable and worthwhile. Can't begrudge a man that much...ok, half-man. I think. My genetics and metaphysical makeup still make no sense to me, then again, much about my own life doesn't make sense to me.

Perhaps that's why I'm writing to those whose lives are in turmoil as well. I identify with them and find a means of that dangerous thing called hope at times. I would hope that I do the same for them.

Funny how I'm being ribbed for writing to someone in Texas but no one objected to me writing to three people in Arkansas locked up for a horrible triple murder. While I don't believe they did it, I still didn't get ribbed up for that one. No one looked unfavorably upon that. Writing one woman locked up for aggravated robbery (and I don't know the particulars) ...I get it in the nuts over that one.

I'm sorry but did I miss a fuckin meeting somewhere? Where the hell is my memo?

I like her as a friend, someone with whom to just shoot the breeze. Bara and Pet think I have an official date, as do many with whom I work.

Does she know everything about me? Hell no. There are just some things about me that people shouldn't know! Do I have things to hide? Goddamn right. Some things are just in the Nunya family, if you smell what I'm cookin' and I personally do not care what others may think of that. The things people choose not to talk about are no one's business but their own. That's part and parcel of my philosophy.

Still, I got her letter yesterday and I wrote her back and had the letter sent off the same day. It was another five-pager. She should be getting that pretty soon. This weekend, I'll be taking more pics and sending some of them off to her as well. Why not? She's already got old ones of me. Might as well send her something updated.

Bara has been ribbing me that she might come out of prison searching for me with a fetish for dudes in uniform. Ummm....riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. I'm sure she's gonna show up creaming over cuffs. I'm sorry, but if I were in her position, I would be just as happy never seeing another cop as long as I lived. She knows about the 'net DJ gig but not the C.O. gig. Goddamn, I've scared off enough people in my life, last thing I need is my job making them go, "Oh fuck...get away!" and running like hell in the process. Another joke is that she's locked up for stalking and/or killing 'net DJs. I'm sorry but 'net DJs hardly existed back in '97.

Still, the letters have been written, just waiting for the next one. Later taters!

A Ghost Upon The Stage

It's no secret that music pervades nearly all aspects of my life. I say nearly because I can't really listen to it at work like I'd like to. Still, there must be moments of silence, right?

At present, I sit here, a huge pair of headphones engulfing my ears, listening to Three Days Grace perform "I Hate Everything About You" wondering, just how music keeps me going. I've been told I'm going to some fiery hell for the music I listen to both by Christians and even a Muslim. To the Muslim with whom I discussed this at great length, he believed it didn't matter what I was listening to, that music was going to send me to hell due to some obscure Surah about Mohammed being commanded by Allah to plug his ears when he overheard someone playing a pipe of some sort. That was the entire basis for his arguement.

Let's nevermind the fact that it was the music I listened to that has kept me from the brink of near-total self-annihilation. In times of confusion, it centered me, focused me just long enough until I was clear enough in the head to figure things out for myself. When I pondered drugs, Ministry's video for "Just One Fix" convinced me otherwise. In every instance of loss, I would lose myself in some great, blasting torrent of sound that didn't hate me for getting angry or reacting by running off alone to be with my thoughts when others were breathing down my neck. The music never yelled at me over the way I looked. It helped shape the way I think. It helped me get through the scarring and the times when it seemed as though opposition were on all sides and angles of me. Music gave me hope with it wasn't present in the first place. It let me know I wasn't alone. Others out there felt all that same bullshit I was feeling or going through at the time. It let me know I didn't need permission from anyone to think or believe what I felt was right.

I think it's fair to say that it was music (Rock and it's many genres) in particular that saved my life and caused me to not go insane. It still carries on through to this very day.

It was okay to have the best time possible.

It was okay to feel pissed off when I'd been fucked around

It was okay to give a middle finger to those that were pissing me off.

It was okay to look the other way when something really offended me.

It was okay to live free to do as I want...I just had to leave people to do the same.

It wasn't okay to trample on anyone's toes.

These things, I learned from the music I listened to.

I sat there at shows watching these guys pour their hearts out on stage. I heard the songs of devastation, loss, anger, love, redemption, fear, courage and the willingness to rise above, take back what belongs to you and enjoy life. I understood what it meant to be there without ever having to experience it. I have been motivated by music to keep pushing when the shit was bad. Recently, I've found new hope and faith that there is something out there looking out for me...Something...or Someone.

I've seen the ones that work hard and push succeed. I've seen it bind the whole of us together. I've seen people that would never be associated gather with each other in one place over music...and it doesn't matter what kind. I've seen music nearly singlehandedly save the world from us and our destructive habits.

I've seen, experienced and have been privvy to the intangible power of music that lies within it.

A ban is not what we need...even if it's music that promotes a deviant idea. Why? Because, while music holds this tremendous ability within it, it's not a puppet master. If I haven't learned how to make some type of soup from a Judas Priest song (remember that they admitted to the backwards masking of a soup recipe in their music) or learn how to properly interpret a recipe in German on making muffins from a Tool song, then the arguement that it will lead me into some type of pseudo-Satanism or other deviant or abhorrent acts is ludicrous, baseless and is, therefore, bullshit.

My parents were around even though both of them worked. They did teach me right from wrong. The decision to do one or the other has alwasy been mine, not the music. Music can be a great therapist, it can even be influential to some of the decisions you make in your own life but it will never make that decision for you. To claim that it does is complete irresponsibility.

Now, as I sit here, there are ghosts upon the stage in my mind. Hundreds of them dancing and leaping about, their emotions flying with the music at wild abandon and, at those times, humankind was at it's peak. There were no divisions or boundaries, no bullshit race issues or social economics, no ethnicity or prejudice. They were all one and the same. They all united under one thing for at least one night, for better or worse. They all shared a moment and during that moment, it was all good and there was nothing to stop them.

Still, nevermind the fact that this is everything to which I've been a witness, it's all evil to them. I'm fine with that. What saddens me most is that those very same people will never know the triumph and agony, the far inner-reaches of the mind where their inner demons lie. They'll never have to face them and know the awesome power involved when you conquer them in some small way instead of running from them in wild and irrational fear. These people will never understand that and they won't know how to face them down when they do find themselves haunted.

At the end of every day...or night, as it were, for me, we all find that something to pull us through the crap as others are want to contribute to the stress of the daily grind. Why? Because we refuse to run. We refuse to back down.

I leave you with this:

"Through the worst
We prevail
So our voices will be heard..."

Hatebreed "I Will Be Heard"

A Path To The Dark Side: Bladed Misanthropy

For a week, I've been looking over rejection after rejection. Large corporations are all about protecting their bottom line and increasing it, this much I know, but, after pitching the idea of the publicity stunt in favor of mutual advertisement (both for their bands and their product) each flat rejected me saying that, "After research, it was decided that this didn't meet with thier goals" and that they would keep my information handy should they find something for me to do.

Nice.

So far, not many in the way of bands have offered thier support but the ones that have have done it in a big way. Now, their sponsors won't back them up. After repeated bulletins, postings and whatever else I could do, I was beginning to wonder if I should just pack in the whole idea and just do a Halloween Bash Show and go for some distance, meet the commitments and then just fuck off to whatever hole from which I crawled. I was in a real conundrum and I had no idea what to do with what I was faced. I was even beginning to wonder if calling up the newspapers about it was even worth the damned time.

I torched the emails I'd printed out and sat there on my front porch, smoking cigarettes thinking, "Goddamn, what next?"

That's when tonight's show happened. Bands were happy to see my playlist as it featured mostly the electronic EBM/Industrial I loved to play so much. Tommy T. of Cyberage and DSBP Records was howling ecstacy over the way the playlist looked. I liked it too. Considering it was mostly stuff he sent, I wasn't going to just let it trickle out when I'd spent the past week listening to it. No, that would be wrong...this had to be an explosion.

The night went crazy. People I didn't know were IMing me out of the blue. By the end of the night I had 27 IM windows open. By the end of the show, I'd had no less than five people calling into the show via my speakerphone. One right after the other...keep an eye on the podcaster, that's coming out soon. Overall, the show itself was like any other weekend thrall...a success.

BUT more frustration was to come during the show. One Who Shall Remain Nameless had been found out. If it's one thing I hate it's people talking shit. Worse still, talking shit about me behind my back thinking I'll never find out. Nameless began pissing and moaning about my show. I only wish I were joking. Yes, Nameless is a DJ who's got a bug in their panties about my show now.

Let's break this down. I've had to watch people on the Candle Vigil let apathy set in early. I've sat here wondering what good, if any, I was doing and if it was, where the hell was it? Now, coupled with the idea that maybe I shouldn't go as all-out as I'd originally planned because it seems like it isn't worth the time or effort, I have this fuckin' bullshit to deal with. Cool...let's go with the breakdown of some things just to set the record straight.

1. Scheduling - It's not something I can help. Why? I have a job that requires me to be there on certain days throughout the rotating schedule. Guess what? If I want every weekend off to do a show, they'll laugh in my face and/or fire me. Simple as that. Deal with it, this is how those of us with a job do it and if the idea is to change my job. I'd love to. Fuck, turn this net radio thing into a moneymaker and I'll consider it, no problem. Until then, fuckin deal.

2. Interviews - Who I have on the show is the final decision of one person...My Ass! That's right! If I don't feel like having someone on the show then I tell them to fuck off, simple as that. It's all decided in the creative process as I'm doing it. Guess who's permission I don't ask?

3. Talk segments - I schedule enough damn music to listen to. I talk as long and as loud as I like. On that show, I'm the boss until Doc says otherwise. Don't like it? Take the stream or shut the fuck up.

4. Music - I'm my own program director. Don't like the music I play then make a goddamned request or fuck off.

5. The Hype - "It's Like He's Starting To Believe His Own Hype." That was one of the quotes. None of this is simple hearsay. I saw the logs on it and I was floored. You can only imagine how livid about it I was. I reach out to support good causes and things like that. Sure, I'm the star of my show but I
Let People Share The Fucking Limelight With Me, Fucktard! Though I'm not sure if that occurred to you or not. Take a flying fuck to a rolling doughnut and call mommy in the morning.

6. The Bottom Line - I originally started doing this because I have an idea of how I wanna hear radio and what's being played on it. As it turns out, there are people that fuckin agree with me. These are my fans and my crew. They've all found shit they don't like but they give me some suggestions and they help me. When The Genocydal Empyre v2.0 breaks...those people come with me. Those that oppose will get left behind, dig?

I'm not on Krush playing for One DJ. Never have and I never will. Don't expect apologies for that because you're in for some serious fucking disappointment, bet?

The DJs that have helped me out on Krush? Hey, they get cut in too. Pissed off because my show is rating better than yours? I might have helped. I've sat here and talked of DJ unity for some time and it PISSES me STRAIGHT the FUCK OFF that there are those who submit to their own inflatable egos because it didn't turn out the way they thought. Guess what? It's as simple as asking and Wham! Bam! Amster-fucking-Damn! I'm right there in the thick of things pimping your show, giving you one helluva lead-up and even giving pointers for whatever you wanna use or do.

Let the record show that I've been in competition with no one and nothing but ME. I try to make each show better than the one before that. If you're getting your ass dragged down to a goddamned one-share then how about putting a little more effort into it or coming up with a gimmick of your own, I don't care but, as for now, Never...and I mean fucking NEVER think that just because your numbers are suffering means I'm gonna cry over you pissing and moaning because I'm outrating you. Fuck, Get inventive! Innovate, for fuck's sakebut don't take your shit aggression out on me for it. I'll do anything to help most good DJs that I think deserve it but what I won't do is play ball and just remember that when the day is all said and done, the dust settles and the chaos calms down, that figure standing dressed in black with a blade covered in blood amongst the bodies and the drive to keep doing it...that's me and the only ones standing with me, you'll know them too...

as The
Genocydal Empyre v2.0

P.S. After setting up the second encoder last night for the show and actually going through all the bullshit it took to get that thing on track, something happened. What, I don't know but whatever happened didn't have a destination to save the encoded file of the show for me to edit the podcasts out of it. No podcasts will be available for this show. Sorry all. *whips out a shotgun and blasts his computer in frustration*...goddammit.

Podcast Update: The Michale Graves Interview

Ok, here's what's up.

I'm still writing the article about the Graves Interview. It's up on the podcaster now so you can hear me completely choke and ask technical questions instead of engaging in conversation as I'm normally apt to do as well as fan questions and then me fuckin relaxing out a bit before the whole thing is done. Yes, the thing did get cut off in the middle and Michale and I didn't even know it but hey....leave it to the server to do to me what it did to VM during his Celldweller interview. You can find the podcaster here on this page and at Tammi's Blog and my MySpace site and they're all located on the sidebar. Check it out.
