Another sharing moment....Follow

...with Queen Skeeter.

This time, we're going to go back to around the year 2000, I was living by myself in a shanty of a house, no stove, no counters even really. My mother is a "fixer-uper" type of person, she get's in all of these projects then takes 10 years to finish them. That's why my kitchen had no floors, two windows were missing, my fridge was outside of the house, living room had no carpet, and my A/C system was a huge swamp cooler that my mother cut a hole in the back wall of the house for. I still remember riding my bike to the corner store for some ice to put into the water reservoir of the swamp cooler on those 100 + degree days.

My mother was/is also an animal freak. At one time, we had two turkeys, a duck, about 5 chickens, 2 roosters, 3 dogs, about 15 cats, and a potbelly pig. At the timeframe I said earlier (around 2000) we were down to just the chickens, cats, and two dogs; the pig got pig-napped and eaten by hmongs, the female turkey we had died because our male turkey was so fat he crushed her while trying to do her, then the male turkey died one day because he just got too fat to move. The sadest thing is that we didn't even get to eat him.

I was a composition major, and when I couldn't think of anything to compose, I'd hop on my computer and play around with loops, pretty much anything techno, trance, hip-hop, etc. I a good 20 songs or so, I'd like to share one with you today.

Never Look Back Click to stream or right click and "save as", it's not a big file.

Yes, all of my songs had cheesy titles.
I used loops from a program named Techno E-jay, plus things from Fruityloops.

If you think that is bad, you should hear what my friend did with my music software. Everyday, and I mean EVERYDAY, he'd call me up, and first thing out of his mouth would be "Dude! I'm coming over, I have this bad-*** idea for a song!" He'd show up and make really crappy music until I kicked him off to play counterstrike.

The song I linked along with one other song called "OrangeSky" was played in a dance club a couple times(I knew the DJ), it's not fantastic stuff, but at least nobody has told me that they hate it.(not yet anyway, I'm sure one of you bastards will)

After it was all said and done, there were a good 25 songs made by my friends and I, we put a choice few of them on a cd and labeled it "Shut up and Dance". Lol, cracks me up remembering these things.

Later on, as I got more involved with Fruityloops, I made some pretty good advances in songs, and came out with a new cd called "Deez".

That was pretty much so when we told people we were listening to "Deez", after they responded with "Deez??" we could say "Deez Nutz ******!"

Deez was the last cd my friends and I made, it was finished right before my buddies started joining the forces, and I moved out here to good ol' VA.

Tripod tried to keep the man down, but I found another free hosting website.

Any of you freaks odd enough to want to listen to it should be able to now.

Interesting story (If you could call it that, stories are more plot driven instead of incoherent ramblings)

I never lived in my house that was not under construction, I was 13 years old before I got my own room (I don't mean sharing a room with a brother, I mean sleeping in a room that is just 5 mattresses side to side that shared with 3 or 4 Mexican’s that was my fathers work force) Actually I had not slept on a bed that was more then a mattress on the floor (Box springs? Box springs are for pussies) until I got my own place.

I’m not much for Techno music, but what I heard didn't sound to terrible, I couldn’t listen to it all because about halfway through WMP stopped playing then uninstalled itself from my PC.
