TO BLOG OR NOT TO BLOG

Two important things are happening today. First, I've officially switched webhosts. Secondly, I will probably not use BLOGGER anymore. I am switching to Greymatter.

fame by association that is >>>>>>>>>>

FAME IS IN THE AIR

I have the feeling that my personal site will not be so personal by the end of the week.

COMMENTS............ THE COMMENTS section is working. Feel free to add your irrelevant comments.

OH MY GOD! DID YOU SEE IT? I CAN'T EVEN BLOG ABOUT IT

OH NO NOT AGAIN

TODAY, AS I SIT AT MY COMPUTER, CONTENPLATING LIFE AND OTHER SPIRITUAL MATTERS. I'VE DECIDED TO REDESIGN MY WEBSITE, YET AGAIN. YOU MAY ASK. BUT WHY? YOU JUST REDESIGNED THE SITE 5 DAYS AGO? THE ANSWER TO THESE BURNING QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED IN A VERY SHORT ESSAY ON WEB DESIGNER TROUBLES AND TRIBULATIONS.

GO JOHNNY GO

My buddy John is participating in the California Aids Ride 8. He did his 42 mile training run a few days ago. I am very proud of him and the fact that he is doing such a selfless act. If you think you can spare some loose change for his sponsorship -- bring it on. This is the link to the pledge page. I know you don't know John but he is doing this for a good cause and he is my friend and trust me he is worth the pledge and he is my butch whiteboy stud and and and and...... *do it man*

TO HOST OR NOT TO HOST

I am, yet again switching Web Hosts. The hosting service I use now kinda sucks and is not that cheap. So, I am switching to phpwebhosting. This seems to be exactly what I want with lots of features and a prize for the broke as SOB's of the world.

COMMODUS IS OFFICIAL

It is official. My new username is COMMODUS. If you are looking for me on AIM, I am commodusSF. NO MORE RIVERICA. This name has been retired. AND also, my email is now commodus@locotek.com.

If you have tried to post commets on my site and nothing has happened it is because, yet again, I am having problems with my web hosting service. I am not able to CHMOD files. What kind of crap is that?

Commodus

GOD BLESS PHP

IT IS 1:05 AM | DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?

I am sitting at my computer typing because sleeping is an in and out experience. I am conviced Kevin is here. I have the feeling that I am not alone in my bedroom. I know this feeling. I have felt it before. Never like tonight though. It is pitch dark with the exception of my computer monitor. There is a definite second party even as I type this. I need to sleep. I have to be up at 5:00 am. I am angry. It is not a good time for company. Kevin let me sleep thank you very much. Goodnight!

BODY & SOUL

And speaking of... I just went to Napster and downloaded a live mixed mp3 from the Shelter with Timmy Regisford spinning. I am in heaven baby. I immediately burned a CD, went directly to my car, put the top down and pumped it. Now that I have a real mixed music CD, I know that my dancing experience in SF will be less of an experience and more of headache.

TO CAM OR NOT TO CAM

I spent the entire day yesterday, literally, trying to set up a webcam on my website. I am sad to say that I could not get the shit to work the way I wanted it. I need to have a little window within my Index.html page showing my room *porn* 24 hours a day. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know.

I am having a small problem with my email address and username riverica. As it turns out, most guys, especially on Napster, think that riverica is female. I guess it is female sounding if you think about it but can they stop trying to pick me up? AND in Napster out of all places. *queso cristo* The username originated way back in the early 90's when I joined one of those defunct ISP's called Delphi, which by the way, I ended up working for when they where bought out by 20th Century FOX. Anyway, the name is a combination of the first four letters of my last and first name in that order. RIVERICA = RIVERA RICARDO. Officially, I am announcing the I am changing my email address to something more masculine and wicked. COMMODUS So, my new email address is commodus@locotek.com. Please use this address from now and if you are looking for me in Napster use it also.

In my quest to find different things to do, other than hanging out at the Castro, I ended up in a cheezy bar in the Mission with Hec and Olivie. All I kept thinking as I was crossing the street to reach it was "Should I bring my passport" and most importantly "should I make sure I hold on to my kidneys?" ---------- *How did I reach Mexico?*. This is a Drag Show type of bar. You know, men impersonating women or men impersonating women impersonating men impersonating women impesonating men? or is it the other way around? Whatever. It is called Esta Noche which means This Night. Well, Esta Noche is the last night I step out of my homo infested Castro thank you very much. Even my car was scared of this place. I was standing outside with Hec, getting some over the border air, and my car, which was parked in front, started to roll backwards. I haled ass accross the street to make sure my sweet ride did not get another bump all by itself. I reached it before any mishaps... I guess I did not realize that I left the parking brake off. I am thinking it was the shock of it all.

BOOGIE WONDERLAND

The one thing that is missing from my life is DANCE. I need to unwind, sweat, love, masturbate (at least 3 times a day), make new friends and, most of all, DANCE my ass off. The reality is that it won't happen in San Francisco. I long to be with Carl, my dance partner, sweating, laughing, hugging and DANCING for hours straight. I am feeling the - my life is not worth a penny without a kick ass dance party -- syndrome. *play it for me Joe* In my desperation I end up at the Detour. Lord Help ME! But why not let Earth Wind and Fire tell you with the gorgeous Boogie Wonderland -- backed by the legendary Emotions:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The mir-ror stares you in the face and says,
"Ba-by, uh, uh, it don't work."

You say your prayers though you don't care.
You dance and you shake the hurt.

Dance, boo-gie won-der-land.
Dance, boo-gie won-der-land.

Sounds fly through the night,
I change my vi-nyl dreams
To boo-gie won-der-land.

I find ro-mance
When I start to dance
In boo-gie won-der-land.

I find ro-mance
When I start to dance
In boo-gie won-der-land.

All the love in the world can't be gone.
All the need to be loved can't be wrong.

All the rec-ords are play-ing,
And my heart keep say-in',
Boo-gie won-der-land, won-der-land.

Dance, boo-gie won-der-land.
Dance, boo-gie won-der-land.

If you have not experienced this tune like it was meant to be -- pumped by Larry Levan -- you have missed out on what I think is a religious experience. AND by the way if you run out to get this on CD make sure you get the 8 minute PLUS version. I happen to have the 12" single which includes the stompin instrumental. Better yet, I am on napster with username riverica. Boogie Wonderland is on MY LIST of songs. *get it girl*

WEBSITE | WEBSITE | WEBSITE

It is about 2:00 am. I've spent an entire day tweeking code. My continuous efforts on this personal project consume my thoughts daily. Everytime I think that the look I wanted has been finalized something else lights up in my little head. I NEED TO STOP. Therapy might be in order. I am addicted.
