I mean, I am staying at a hostel in Sao Paolo under a window that is open. If someone was walking past they could reach in a shake me to wake me up. They would say "MY FRIEND EMAILED ME TO TELL ME TO DO THAT" then disappear forever.

It is - I really enjoy blogging and its just getting better, because its somehow different from a regular writing, but you can still connect with other folks through it.

...

I am much worse at blogging than I used to be. I used to be a shining star and now I can't be bothered.

I don't know - when I started out I thought that I'll run out of ideas pretty quickly, but by now I have tons of them and they just keep coming.

I tried to write about myself, but its pretty boring, so I started writing about someone else's work and it suddenly made sense.

Power is the ability to affect people, by which mean wake them up.

Also, I have found bird shit on my bed when I get home during the day. Luckily there are barson the window so I haven'tfound hman shit. I guess it could be flung, though.

Record reviews,I presume? Or more indepth?

I'm writing bios/discographies of bands.

Its all powered by YouTube and Discogs (and occasionally other sites like Rate Your Music and T-D-TB).

So, did you write one for the Didjits? Que Sirhan Sirhan was in my top-10 albums for most of high-school and college.

Not yet - but I'm looking into it.

:-)

Coincidentally, it sounds like they were obsessed with pigs, judging by album titles!

I also tried to contact various people and see if they would pay me for this or whether I can write stuff for other sites.

Ira Robbins (Trouser Press) replied and I sent him something, but I never heard from him again.

Anyway - I'll keep working on it, because I like writing about music.

:-)

Also - I got a couple of CDs for review, which is mind-blowing.

Hmm, I don't know if I catch the pig connection. They did that Dead Kennedy's cover about cops, maybe that's what you mean? I think Rick Sims is writing musicals now. My friend in Chicago told me Rick did some DJ nights and would play the "The Offspring" cover of "Killboy Powerhead" at them, but that was a long time ago. back before he was in the Gaza Strippers.

NICE. I want to get free stuff ut of this internet thing, but the closest I get is no booking fees when I book hostels thanks to my diligence.

So yeah - there's tons of cool things that you can do on the net, aside from just regular browsing.
