Hoping that he dun get sued.

Wow, I feel braver than I am.
I just emailed WB.com asking how to get permission for the Marvin the Martian soundclips I use in "Illudium Pew-36 Space Modulator". Why? Well mp3.com won't post it without permission (which I'm not really surprised about) and it'd be really cool if I COULD get this song published on mp3.com without having to take the lyrics out... also, if WB sponsors it somehow, the chances of other people hearing this song (and then, perhaps, more of my stuff) goes up quite a bit. I wonder if this is what "selling out" feels like?
You know, I can't help but think of the fact that my middle brother, Marc, wants to be a world famous DJ mixing rap and some techno. Mind you, I don't LIKE rap so I'm biased against it, but IMNSHO Marc isn't all that great. I don't pretend I'm GREAT! I'm not Moby or anything like that.. I don't WANT to be... the music is just a hobby for me. I don't want to be world famous for my dance or have a hit record. I just wanna be an engineer who, as a hobby, makes great music :) A cult following.. now THAT I wouldn't mind!
Well, at least my other two songs (Keep on Dancin' and Theme to "Haunted Dancefloor of Death") are up and on mp3.com. I wish mp3.com still had their section of "newest additions"... I got lots of hits that way when my newest songs came out.. oh well, though, I guess.
In other news... I don't think Imentioned yet that we got a DVD player on Monday. We've been having fun with it.. we've rented three DVDs since (Finding Forrester, Emperor's New Groove and Unbreakable (NOT THAT GOOD! Ugh =P still confused!) plus bought three.. Independence Day, Blues Brothers and.. I forget what else.
And I've been up and down the city looking for the Startopia Strategy Guide. HOPEFULLY I can get it today at lunch.. HOPEFULLY!
what else? *thinks* Not much.. not that i can think of.
OK.. bai bai!

Time changes all

I'm feeling... thoughtful. Not necessarily good or bad, but thoughtful. I just talked to arabella, one of my best friends (since 1993... it's amazing to think we've known each other for 8 years..) about Kareila, another really good friend.
It's just amazing how much we've all changed in 8 years. We've all been in situations where we NEEDED the other two just to keep our sanity.. in the end, despite our personal differences, we seem to just balance each other out in an almost yin-yangish sort of way...
But time has passed... Kareila has become.. grown up. Alot more antisocial. She's still a good person and a good friend but not at all as crazy and amusing as she once was and never seems to spend much time online anymore (due to work and, I think, the fact that she finds more enjoyment in doing nononline things like sewing and watching college football).
arabella has grown up to become a great person (as well as a microbiogeek) in a relationship she seems to simulaneously love and hate and, though I've never seen them together, I'm told those two fit together like two peas in a pod.
And me? Well, I guess I'll leave that for someone else to decide. I know where *I* think I've change, but maybe what I think has changed hasn't.
Time changes the nature of everything.
You can't blame it... by summarizing what I've summed up, I've neglected to mention 8 years of history. Approximately an entire third of each of our lives... PLENTY of things have happened in 8 years, things that have changed us to our very core. We've grown up, found ourselves (or not) in college and strove to become things we did or did not become. We've formed new attachments, affected hundreds of lives (and been affected ourselves by those same hundreds)
I dunno.
I dunno where to go with this post anymore. I guess I'll just end it instead.
