Good Morning!
Here's how you can tell if I've been slacking and not updating....
May 7, 2001
Damn. Its been awhile... I want to keep this page up, but
theres so much real life going on. MY brother has a beautiful baby girl, im without
a baby (meaning a girlfriend). Some chix think they can play me, but i dont know how
i feel about that. Speaking about things Im not so sure about, someone flamed me on
my guestbook without checking her sources. she said she hated me cause i called myself
vegan and still ate eggs and cheese... im trying to figure out where the misconception
came from, but rest assured, i no longer eat eggs or cheese. Havent since ash
wendsday of 2000. On some freaky coincidence, thats the same day i started calling
myself vegan. figure that shit out 
. So whats been up with tim since
december? i pased all my movie classes, got back into jewlery. broke up with emily, and
got played by a punk wench. I think im over the punk wench. pretty sure anyway. Shes
been yanking me around, and i know it, and i dont want anything to do with it, but you
know boys... were stupid when it comes to girls.
Sigh. So entering the summer, im hoping to start bartending, and have some fun, finish my coms classes, lift a bit, and maybe even start a band. That and update this page more. wish me luck.
I love you all --even the ones that dont check their facts before they bust me out. (wish you left an email so i could straighten that shit out) good luck.

Well, I guess I've been slacking. Well... i dunno. I've been
damn busy this semester. I have been working about one day a week because the movie, tv
show, and 16mm film i had to make this semester were just overwhelming. It was killing me.
but its over, and i got B's in the block, and a C for my 16mm film. I then left for
Colorado. This year i skied Vail, and one day at Beaver Creek. The weather was
great, with the exception of a monster white out the first day at vail. I was riding
with Ren and Javier from Cali on the last day, and they're supposed to mail me a pic of an
indie i landed that day. It was nice. I am very proud of that one, it was clean,
lots o air, and landed well. I hope the picture came out good . Em is out with her friends, and im about to stop in at work, and then go
apartment hunting for next year, If I can get ahold of Veronica, who is going to room with
me next year.
The big news is : My brother got his girlfriend pregnant. shes
expecting at the end o March, and theyre getting married at the end of February.
According to my roomate NIck, It's on the 24th of Feb, and I'm the best man. Why is
he better informed than I am? Think the wedding cake will be vegan?
If anyone is interested in viewing my movie, "A Little Explosion"
contact me at videovegan@hotmail.com,
and I'll hook you up.

This semester is hell. Really. Just about everyone I've
talked too is overworked. "The Block" is beating me down, and everything
else just piles up! Thank god for my new discovery: Red Bull .
Sigh. My roomate and her boyfriend are fighting again. This happens when he gets
drunk. Not that he gets mean, he just says things that he shouldn't, and talks about
cute girls, and random things that annoy her, and then she gets sucked into arguing with
him. They make up in the morning when he's sober. All in all, shes the best
roomate I've ever had. I love her, she rocks. I just wish they could get functional.
specially 'cause I wanna go downstairs and wash the dishes and move my laundry. Love
you all!

DAMN, skippy. sorry it's been so long.... between work,
school, and Emily, i really haven't been
updating this web page.... sorry. To catch you all up, i passed all my summer
classes with flying colors, and now i am into the fall semester, which looks as if it's
going to be hell. All my classes are easy, except for "the block," my
video production class, and it looks like that one is going to kick my ass inside
out. unfortunately, Emily has also returned to school. unfortunately, because school
is Whittenburg, and it's in Ohio, two states away. I am however dragging my trusty
sidekicks Reuben and Nick out there for a couple of days and a Phish concert later this
month, so i get to see her, and Phish too! Sometimes life just works out. I
gave this URL to my english professor, who told the class that we should all have our own
web pages by the end of the semester.... hmm... I love that most of the world is computer
illiterate sometimes, it gives me an edge. but then again... self suffiecency is a thing
to be admired, and i wish people would learn that they too can fix their own computers...
It cracks me up that my brother gets paid to install hard drives and other apparatus...
its not that hard. they only fit in one slot anyway. Anyhow! I
promise to be better about updating this!
July 10 2000
Its my girlfriend, Emily's birthday.... talk about convienient
timing for her, eh? So, I'm off to get a haircut and
meet the parents. Also, I'm in the middle of running my first vine, and becoming
something more than a lurker on the tape trader bulletin boards! "I'm ready /
to see / all the good things / in life," I am so happy that I bought a burner
and became something more than a tape trading parasite. As always, you all know
my list is at the CD-R link in the index bar... If you wanna trade. let me know!
MWAH! What have i listened to today? Five Iron Frenzy, Hodge Podge, and
Petula Clark - Emily was over, can you tell?
June 27 2000
Mwah! It's been 8 days, and a whole pile of crap has gone down! I
have only one coaster, and 10 good cd's.Probably more important in my life
however, I have aquired a gilrfriend by some random throw of the dice. I told y'all
I have disgusting amounts of luck. She picked me up on the side of the road.
Honest. Anyway, I have class in 8 hours, need to sleep, and write a 2 page paper on
Shakespeare's sonnet 129. What fools these mortals be! G'nigiht! CD's i
listened to today... Goldfinger's Goldfinger, Hodge Podge's Sometime '99, and Billy
Holiday's Greatest Hits.
June 19 2000
Hey yo! I just bought a CD burner so now I can be a productive member of the trading community.... if you want to know about trading, look up the newbie stuff on phish.net, not that that is the only traded band... just that they're a good starting point, and the emphasis on ethics is there. If you know about trading, my CD-R list is here, drop me a line. I just caught Bumpus at the Elbo Room on accident last night. I love them... snagged the playlist and a broken drum stick. Went to a great party too... pictures forthcoming. Thanks to everyone i met, and no thanks to the dicks who got violent, kicked out, and hunted by the police. Way to go Barb! He so deserved it, and you delivered.
June 10 2000
DAMN. I'm sorry i've kinda put the page off, but there was some pretty whak stuff going on. With the commencement of summer, I have increased my weightlifting, started looking into aikido, and worked a lot. I actually started barbacking at Molly's. The bartenders there were happy to initiate me with sloppy cherry juice handprints, burning matches, and large signs taped to my back. Oh yeah. Shots of Rumple Mintz too. I just finished Mother Night, and Vonnegut's new one, God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian. Wow. I love that man. Vonnegut, I mean. Not to say I hate Kevorkian, just don't know anything about him except what i read in the NY Times. I am once again trying to be active in trading cd jam band live shows, so email me if your interested. Keep Funky, and I'm putting my shows on the page.
May 12 2000
It's Friday, my finals are done, and I'm a happy boy! I've got a summer coming up full of guitar and singing and yoga and weightlifting, and even an english class...But first, some R&R! I went to Danzig at house o blues last week, and that was pretty cool.... not as good as the 'fits, but I'm still glad I saw him at least once. Bumpus is playing at Depaul next friday, and its gonna rock out! Im off to run some more scales, L8A.
April 30 2000
sorry I've been slacking, but I got a lot of other stuff done... End of the semester crunch, wrote 3 songs, finished my music video, bought a whammy-wah and a grunge pedal... I NEED MUSICANS!!! If your in the DeKalb area, and serious about being in a band... lemmie know for god sakes....Im gonna add a Blue Meanies link to the page, cause they rule, for those of you that didnt know. And if anybody wants to donate me some recording equipment, id be happy to get it (shameless plug) Rock on Wayne, Rock on Garth!
April 9 2000
Aww yeah! I got into "the block," and i am so happy. Its one of the hardest classes for media majors... basically I have to make a 60 minute movie. I'm also going to the doctor monday, because I'm always too freakin' tired. Im gonna see if its dietary, or thyroid, or whatever. I don't want to have 5 alarm clocks anymore. I'm serius about that. I've got one of those old school ones with the bells on top, a phone/ clock radio, my stereo is an alarm clock too... It's nice to wake up to cds... and there are two alarms on my clock radio that is on my shelf. You could add my pager in there too, but i don't set that every day.... Im gonna put up some new polls, and record the final votes on these, so I'll ramble on some other time. L8a Sk8a
April 3 2000
Wow. Well, for those of you that were there Saturday, what happened? 'Cause I dont remember much... Serious tho it was a lot of fun, except i was rather disturbed by some of the stuff I learned about from friends (like I said, I don't remember much). Next time, I'm sticking to Jager. It's safer. Good news though! I finally used up the film, so a bunch of my metal and other art stuff will be coming up as soon as i get the chance to develop it (should be soon) and scan it. HOWEVER. There is one picture that will never see the light of day if it came out. Im confiscating the negatives from a certain silver camera as soon as i get the chance. The hodgepodge covers are up in the flat art section, finally. Mwah, love you all.

Yo Yo! Incubus played at the House of Blues in Chicago tonight, with Ultraspank opening up. It was great!! Incubus play stuff off of Fungus, and busted out this electric sitar like thingie that just rocked. I ended up snagging the bassists autograph, and the Ultraspank bassist and singer's autographs too. Its been awhile since I've been to a heavy concert, and it was great. I'm sorry I've kinda let this page slow down a bit, but between shooting a documentary, writing radio script, and trying to teach myself to draw anime, ive been pretty busy....
March 8 2000
Hey Yo! I went Vegan today. Not with a bang, but a wimper. I realized that if i was to go vegan today, it wouldn't change tomorrow at all. So boom, I'm vegan. Part of the decision was however based on the fact that this is ash Wednesday. For those of you unfamiliar, ash Wednsday is the start of lent, which lasts till easter. Catholics traditionally give up some vice or another for lent. I figured it would be a slap in the face for cristianity, that I am using one of their holidays to point out that my ethics, both my words and actions, stand above them. Its a specific slap in the face to a guy i knew in the NIU dorms. He gave up "meat" for lent - however he started eating fish, and then chicken, and then pork, and then the whole thing went out the window. If you're gonna be religious, be religious. It can be a good thing. But don't do it half assed. Lip service to any god while ignoring the basic tenants and spirit of that god is just cheap and low. So now I'm vegan. "Out! Out damned cheese!"
On an odder note, the swelling in my tongue is done, and I can eat and talk normally now. I got stood up for a date tonight, but screw that. I am a big boy. I'll get over it. I went out anyway, to Nicks place, and played Nintendo - old school 8 bit style - the only way to go.
I had a really nice party a couple of fridays back, and I'd just like to thank everyone that came. It was great. I wish i rememberered the last couple of hours, but I suppose thats what i get for drinking a bottle of Jäger.
February 22 2000
Sorry I've been delenquint here, but I've had a lot going on.
Most coolest of the events, Colin came by to jam last friday, and Nick, Colin and I
jammed for the first time with my new upstairs neighbor. She's a flutist and she was
a lot of fun. Only slightly less cool is the new hole in my tongue. I went and
got it pierced on monday, and its all swollen now (you should hear me talk). I'm
stuck eating applesauce for like a week, but that's ok, I bought the Blue's Clues berry
applesauce.
February 3 2000
Hey punks! I got real pics of my metal tonight, so just let
me get them developed and scanned and they'll be up... I still haven't talked to Colin
about the Sometime 99 cover, hes dissapeared on me... ditched out on a party and gone
missin...I have been on a big Abbey Road kick... I got the job at The
Bottle Store, and had some discussion with my former employers. I was not fired, or
at least I'm not anymore. I declined their offer to work again as an RHOp
supervisor... I am not going to be paid 5.90 an hour to deal wit assaults to my person,
drug overdoses, alchohol poisonings suicides, shootings, gun sightings, and bitchy
residents. I'm perfectly happy carting kegs around for minimum wage. I am
thinking of adding a section with other people's work... What do you think? also
maybe a section of articles and odds and ends... both fictional and real. Let me
know what you think yo. Email me as always... videovegan@hotmail.com
January 24 2000
| Aww yeah, it's been a good weekend all! I went
with Veronica to watch Benny perform at Starbusters, went bar hopping with Amie, and read
a book that scared the crap out of me. What book? Robert Cohen's Milk: The
Deadly Poison. For more info, go to www.notmilk.com. I also had the good graces to
run into a friend that gave me hope that I did get my internship at Rockford FOX (I 'm
calling in the morning ), and to top it all off, I got my job at the Bottle Store. Oh
yeah - I've got a meeting with Ms. Phyllis DuPre to discuss the inequity of my dismissal
from my previous job - and I AM SO looking forward to that |

January 19 2000
I have a new job (almost for sure). At a liqour store. My mom wasn't too happy bout that one, but it's safer than the dorms, the hours are better too. I have officially filed my appeal with the Area Coordinator to try and get my job back at the dorms... but eff it... ill give em my two weeks as soon as I get hired back. If i get hired back... no skin off my back either way. Classes look fun this year, with a video production class and another jewlery class... Spanish will suck, but thats nothing new.... i can deal with another 2 semesters... its a requirement... grumble grumble... asides... MWF looks nice an relaxing.... L8A SK8A's
January 18 2000
HAPPY 21st Jen!
January 16 2000
You want to hear a good story? I was fired
from my position as a Student Supervisor in the dorms today. Because I missed a
shift a month ago. It was a 1pm to 7pm shift, following the 1 am to 7 am shift I had
worked the night before. They went on a firing binge. They fired a great deal
of good employees. I have a little something to say about this whole situation, as
you can imagine. I have had to deal with shootings, assault to my personage(sent a
kid to jail for it), riots, gun sightings, drunken residents, alchohol poisonings, suicide
attempts and understaffing for a crappy 5.90 an hour, and I was expected to work countless
unpaid hours as well. You wanna hear something about how they fired me for missing
one lousy shift? Because I was taking it as a favor for a friend at the last minute and I
forgot about it? You wanna hear about the guy they're firing for protesting unfair labor
practices? AND THIS IS A PUBLIC UNIVERSITY. Well they can go fork themselves.
I could beg for my job back, and honestly, I am sending a letter to my boss's superior in
protest, but I AM NOT BEGGING. If I dont get it back, I'll get a new one. And
If I do get it back, the first thing they're getting is my 2 weeks... because you see...
if you're fired from a campus job, you can't ever work another campus job. Oh I have
some words for housing and dining.... just you wait
January 13 2000
Aww yeah punks! there's a new poll up, and i
wanna know... Who's yer daddy? Classes start Tuesday so my updates will
be farther apart, but I'll probably have better access to a scanner and a decent camera...
therefore you'll see better pics of my art. Ive been on a massive letter writing
campaign, so email me with yer addie if you want a snail mail letter. The real
problem with the world today is no one gets mail. Its all just bills. So make
a difference in someones life... Write them a letter! You KNOW it makes your
day! Thanx to all yall that signed my Guestbook, and to the rest of you... I know
its hard to decide on a cartoon face and all but C'mon..... Remember, Sonic could
kick Mario's teeth in any day... and don't even get me started on Bonk...
January 11 2000
Happy Old Geezerdom Sherry!
January 8 2000
Grrr.... ok. Ive added a link to go back to the welcome page, so more of you can read this page AND REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR MY PAGE =) The link to vote is http://internettrash.com/utilities/trashvote.shtml?timothius
Also... I've removed Tigereagle from the flat art section, because for some odd reason, no matter what I did, the actual pic would not upload correctly... OK! Im off to play security guard... Have a wonderful evening.
January 7 2000
Well, No Y2K problems here, except for a couple of really loud six year old cousins... I've just finished the album art for Hodge Podge's self bootlegged CD, Sometime '99, and I plan on positing it in the "Flat Art" section, pending Colin approval. My new copy of Pink Floyd's The Wall (on vinyl of course) rocks, and Ive developed a new taste for Janice Joplin. Don't forget to sign my guestbook, and take my quiz!
Its All Good - Tim
