Echoes of Decimation.

Good morning kids. Early morning for me as it usually is on Saturdays. We open an hour earlier. And usually I am heading to Toronto after so I have to wake up plenty early enough to shower, shave, and write. Which I think I have. It is quarter to seven. I don't have to leave until eight. I love nerve shredding diminished chords. The best thing in the morning to wake up too. I went to be early last night. I think I was in bed at ten. Right after a couple episodes of C.S.I. I am pretty fucking excited for Darkrave tonight. I wish it happened more than once a month. I am pretty sure you kids read about the last time I went. I had a blast. I am going to have a blast again. Amphetamines influence good times. I of course will be under the influence of those good times. Or is it amphetamines? Who knows. Probably both. Haha. I got to get a hold of Jon when I am done work. We are doing some subway crashing party thing at 7:07. I forget which station it is at. But it doesn't matter. I will be there in plenty of time. I plan on being downtown by two thirty.

I always check schedules now because I hate catching a bus that isn't the express. It is the difference between an hour and ten minutes on the bus, or thirty five minutes on the bus. Which in my mind is a huge difference. Toronto is really busy this weekend. There is some big Italian event going on. Plus the gay "Live Earth" hippy bullshit two day concert for saving the environment. Part of Lakeshore is shut down because of it and traffic is going to be as slutty as your Mom. I am glad I don't drive especially on weekends like this. I think a lot of it is going on in Dundas Square. I miss Keith, Mark, Tom, and Kris already. I am very happy about Kris moving here in September. Him and his Lady Sadie are moving downtown. Near where Jimmy lives. Well close enough. I think it may even be in walking distance. I think Kris will like living here. I will have someone to go to metal shows with here. Not that I am opposed to going by myself. I sure have. I saw Cryptopsy and Skinless by myself. Jimmy had bought a ticket to go with me, but Kayla called and invited him to a play.

So he blew that money and never even went. That was the first time I ever met Kayla. Now the rest is history and that girl is now one of the loves of my life. You of course all have read about her before. Her hair is fading. Well the last time I saw her it was anyway. Haha. I really want to bring her to a metal show. Well I want to bring all of you to one. Especially Lesley. She is probably one of my more "proper" friends. So I would be amused to see her in that environment. I think even she would feel really out of place there. Though I don't know. I think if these kids gave it a chance they might actually really enjoy it. If not only to go somewhere someone they love, loves. It is one of the reasons I am going to Summerfolk. A lot of the people I love really love it. So I mine as well check it out right? I have been to the camp ground a couple of years. But I have actually never payed and gone onto the grounds before. Which probably makes me a minority considering how many years I lived in Owen Sound and surrounding area. It is world reknowned I am pretty sure.

I know some pretty popular folk singers have played there. But that is relative. Because how popular can folk music be? Not very popular I don't think. I never see them topping charts or really being household names at all. Which is how it should be. Though maybe still more well known then a lot of the music I listen to. Though I am not sure. Metal has quite the large cult following. Peoplw ho love it really love it. We were talking toone guy in line at a metal show and he was talking about how metal is a guitar players music. He said "I assume all of you play guitar." Everyone of us did except me of course. Keith said "But Trevor is an anomolie." Which is true I am. I have an ear for it more than most people who do play music. Though I don't play one instrument I really appreciate musicianship. Music isn't just esthetics to me, like it is for most people who don't play. I don't just jive to a catchy tune just because it makes me feel good. I jive to music that has a lot of creativity and skill put into it. I am drinking French Vanilla coffee this morning. I really really love flavoured coffees.

I know a lot of hardcore coffee drinkers really hate their coffee flavoured. Not I. I actually really enjoy the flavours. Don't get me wrong. I also like my coffee straight up. And I absolutely love espressos. There is an amazing espresso in Kensington Market. I should have brought the boys there when they were up. Though I don't think any of them are caffeine addicts quite like I am. Though I think it is starting to catch up to me. I got heart burn for the second time in my life a couple days ago. I am pretty sure it is from my coffee drinking habits. I have been one who never suffered a lot of the aches and pains a lot of people feel. Including heart burn. I have never had a migraine either I am pretty sure. I have had headaches. but even those rarely. Well I guess I can't be positive I haven't had a migraine. But from what I have heard how painful it is, I don't think I have. Even the slightest sound is like setting off a jackhammer in your skull. Sounds particularily unpleasant. Though any pain you can't control I find sucks. Though painunder your control seems to be more bearable.

I can handle putting out a shit load of cigarettes on my arm more than I can a headache. It is always about control in the end. Speaking of pain. I can't wait to get the cover of "Nano Nucleonic Cyborg-The Summoning" tattooed on me. It will be incredible. Such exquisite detail in it too. Generally the art for metal is pretty intricate and awesome. Even if it is just a gory blood bath. Though my design isn't like that at all. Well I shouldn't say "my design". More like "Behold... The Arctopus's design." You kids should give Cynic a listen too. They are very good. Check it out. It is supposed to be bloody fucking hot this weekend. Two of Toronto's Nuclear power thingy's are down that were supposed to be operational this month. Now it is delayed until the fall. Which is bad for the Mcguinty government to hear, especially with an upcoming election. We could be in a little bit of trouble. Especially with the hottest day this summer supposed to be happening on Sunday. Everyone with air conditioners cranked are going to be demanding a lot of power. We may have to import it again.

I know Toronto did the last heat wave. They are asking everyone to be conservative with their power. I am going to make an effort too. I would rather have some air conditioning then none, by being demanding of it. But Jesus. Thirty five degress it is supposed to be tomorrow. Over fourty with the humidex it is supposed to feel like. That is absolutely disgusting. I hate humidity. I can handle heat no problem. But that thick sticky air. Ugh. Not a fan. But! Still far better than anything winter has too offer. So I will try to not complain so much. I have never even lived in air conditioning my whole life until this past year. Now I don't know how I went without it. When I am downtown and I am at say Dave's house. Fuck his place gets soooo hot. Really hard to sleep in it. I feel sorry for married people with no air conditioning. They have to sleep in the heat with a body that produces said heat as well. I think even if I got married I would want a spare bedroom for those times. Or just get air conditioning. Haha. I guess that is the better solution. Whenever I buy a house, there is no doubt it will be air conditioned. Central air is my golden calf I guess you could say. Well I think I am done with this typing business for now. Well at least on this webpage anyway. I have said enough. Perhaps too much. Have a lovely one people. Cheers!
