why are facebook and myspace valued at billions? because of traffic. if you can drive enough traffic to one place, the value of the area will increase because of potential market and high concentration of consumer. we are programed to be the army of one or individualism, but that is what corporations want us know be. they wouldnt want us to unite and aggregate our values. they know that once we do that, we have the capacity to make noise (if we yell together).
anyways, im into this project right now (the last great american roadtrip) and ive been promoting the weblog and trying to generate enough buss to catch some corporate attention. so far we have 500 unique hits, daily on our weblog. i guess its not all that bad but id like to see 999 daily hits within the next week. we will see.

zane kesey is a wimpy ass plutocracy wannabe. we called him about our project and told him how much we admire his father and all we got from him was defensive and suspicious reaction. wtf - we were not asking for money nor did we ask for his support (although that would be cool) but all we did was just expressed our sincere admiration about what his father did 40 something years ago. he spoke to kyle (our PR guy) and was hesitant and defensive before passing the phone to his wife. after talking to his wife, we made a conclusion that he is on a leash and his wife is the master. what a whimpy fool. his father is legendary (wrote one over the coocoo’s nest, rode electric kool-aid acid test) and zane kesey sells fake “furthur” and psychedelic toilet seats! fuck em..

not to toot my own horn but 7 (maybe 8 ) out of 10 times i jam in a band (or musicians), i would be somewhat better at my instrument then the rest of the musicians. sometimes (most of the times) i would have to put in effort to get things right or to make shit sounds right which i dont mind at all. i look at that as an opportunity to train myself to be more versatile and flexible when playing in a band.
recently, i started to hang out with professional musicians and most of them are around 50s and make a living from music (and successful). they talk about their friends who played for rolling stones for 15 years, alman brothers and REM (they know these bands that i grew up listening to). i had the opportunity to jam with them (art introduced me to mike - one of the best musicians ive jamed with, probably the best) and it was musically orgasmic. i didnt remember when was the last time i feel that way. it was like im in a trance and everybody knew what to play. different instruments would take the lead sometimes and the chord progression just changes and everybody adapt. we had fiddler (lindsay played with bella fleck), flute (mike is super awesome and i really mean it), bass (art is a great bassist), keyboardist, vocalist and percussionist. it was awesome because i dont remember ever jam like that where everybody just adapt to more then 3 chords - EVER!
anyhoo, its kinda hard to explain what i mean here but whatever - im expressing it however i could. im excited about this roadtrip. its kinda hazy but im optimistic about it. i love crazy ideas, they keeps me sane.

my weekend was “mehh” - nothing too special or anything. but i spoke to picha zee peaches for a while and its good to talk to her. we’ve been friends since… 1996 i think. cudnt be too sure though but its more then 10 years kind of friendship. wow, time flies.
ive asked her to be a guest contributor here and she will be blogging on this blog whenever. her name is frisha farhana (sorry babe, i hate caps) and be nice to her ok - esp you keh win. haha..
i think blogging is a great way to express yourself and vent out any negativity. whatever bad vibes that you’re having, you can vent it out here and just be cool and calm. and yes, picha we all know that you’ve been blogging since before the internet but i think in these time of trouble, you might need to reblog yourself to the world. tell us whats in your head and dont worry - theres no judging here.
also, id like to introduce another author - steve mathew boop (hope i got your middle name right). a great friend from indie PA and im glad to have his blurbings here. cool, smart and cool dude. had so much fun times with this cat and let me tell you that when he’s ragin’ it.. he’s ragin’ it..
