Heya everyone,
Time has flown by this past 2 months, and not much else. So far I’ve been able to move my music equipment to my house and set up Phase 1 of my recording studio. Nothing else much for now. I’m still awaiting my brother to paint and I still need new carpeting before I’ll be able to move. I thought I may be able to squeeze some summer parties in over there, however this seems a little unlikely at this point.
Stink does not like my house. If she comes within 500ft. of my house while walking, she will lay down on the sidewalk and refuse to walk any further. I think it has to do with the fact that there were a couple dogs in the house before, and she takes offense to the scent.
STINK IS 10 YEARS OLD TODAY!
Otherwise, I’m doing good. Still trying to put on more pounds, and it looks like I’ll be right where I want to be by the time November comes around. Trying to run and lift and stay in shape so I can stay healthy. It’s a struggle, but definitely attainable. I’ll probably go into the hospital for a week or two during the fall to get some IV antibiotics. Still though, I’m feeling better than I ever have in the past 10 years. I can’t believe I went through the first 22 years of my life being “sick” the entire time.
So I’ll keep everyone informed on how things continue on.
Good luck, have fun and stay out of trouble!
-Chris

the move has begun!!!
Well my friends, the first of my belongings have moved to my new house! Only a few short weeks until I move, and when I do there will be great amounts of excitement and such.
Now that the music schtuff has been moved, Grrr…Records has officially opened for business. While I can’t spill all the details yet, this will be my recording studio, and hopefully we can attract many bands here. The basement (where the studio itself resides) still needs to be finished and I’m investing a lot of cash into electronics and acoustics. I hope to have everything complete within a year, but we shall see…
A couple rooms and woodwork still needs painting, and I am getting all new carpeting. As I mentioned, this will take a couple weeks to get done before I’m permanently moved, and I’ll be sure to let everyone know when this is all ready. Until then, I’ll be emptying my bank account and racking up credit card bills for the next 60 years or so.
If anyone has any ideas for the house, let me know and I will jot it down on my list.
Thanks boys n girls J

E-ZA 5/18/04
Right now it is raining. Not cats and/or dogs…just small, threadlike creatures which resemble shreds of kelp and such. I’m not the best writer of imagery but I’d figure it was worth a shot.
Not really a big fan of the rain, my friends. If I were, I would be standing outside right now, not really knowing what to do…but nevertheless having a great time getting clean yet at the same time dirty from the splashing mud.
…If I had half a brain I would write something halfway understandable here on this line, but alas the 10% of my functional brain cells wander into the great unknown.
So here we are…2004 and wondering where my children are up to…? It has been 2 full years since my last comprehensive E-ZA, which means I have a lot of catching up to do. Actually, the past 3 years have been so incredibly busy I haven’t really had any time to sit down and think about things…(of course me thinking about things always causes more problems…but what the heck?)

“Today I bought string for 39 cents. That’s the truth” “I wind string…it is so fun; I like it to wind…Winding string is a very good idea!” ~Me, something in late 1985
-The ZAfest schedule
So far Saturday evening gaming sessions seem best. Fridays and Sundays are spent practicing music. Show up with a rock instrument for a free prize!
-The ZA shack extra
I don’t even remember what this is for. The ZA Shack will be decommissioned in June. It will be replaced by the ZA Palace. Just don’t make a mess!
-The ZA rink news
I haven’t worked at the rink for 2 months…and don’t plan to return as I have retired from rink duties. A sad, mournful day for all.
-The ZA computer news
My computers are fast. If you come to play on my computers, you will receive a free prize! If you come to download porn on my computers while I’m asleep, I will send Stink after you.
-The ZA roadtrip news
I drove to Huntsville Alabama last month. That was exciting. Otherwise, I have taken quite a few short roadtrips, usually on Friday nights. Friends are more than welcome to join in countless hours of philosophical conversation.
We even saw horsies on our last trip!
-The ZA P. Jay's report
I don’t eat P. Jay’s pizza anymore. I have switched to Pizza Hut. It was a long, difficult decision for me to make…but in the end I found that Pizza Hut had more carbs and calories, which makes me fatter.
-ZA Weather
The humidity is high, temperatures hover around 72-75 degrees. I don’t spend much time in the basement anymore so this works ok.
-ZA sports
My ankle injury has kept me out of basketball and softball for the past 3 weeks. I should be ready to go for opening day at the NASA Softball League. I am the best middle infielder money can buy!
-ZA traffic
The camaro is in good shape. No traffic jams to report this time around.
-ZA's picks in popular music
Popular music sucks. Today we’ll have to go with ‘Death Cab for Cutie’ or ‘The Walkmen’ or some unknown indie band like that. ‘Muse’ is always the best though.
-ZA's picks in movies
‘Dude, where’s my car’ was always a good movie, so I have to list it again.
-ZA's picks in fashion & romance
I don’t know about fashion. I had to buy all new pants because of my increase in girth. I would have to say I look rather fashionable.
Romance is my middle name. Runnin’ wild is my game.

Congratulations to the graduating Class of 2004. May you make more money than I ever will J

The shoehorn is apparently missing. Someone must’ve taken it home a couple years ago or was thrown out in the garbage or something…
-ZA's epic battle of:
Loincloth vs. Panties one-on-one!!!
Loincloth dominates yet once again. No one knows how it happens. Smart money is on the Panties for next round!

E-ZA 5/13/04
Heya everyone…hopefully everyone is doing well J
I’m doing relatively well, except for another bout of painful arthritis in my ankle. Being immobile really sucks for me, especially since my job involves walking around a lot.
Sorry I can’t offer any special prizes tonight. However, I will invite y’all to my new house when I move in this summer.
Oh yeah, my email address has changed again…it is now zarocks@cox.net , so change your address books accordingly. One of these days I’ll try to get my original Multiverse email address back up and running. Until then, we’ll have to use this address.
This summer I don’t have too many plans…mainly just prepare for the big move and get things started on the right track once again. As long as no giant squids harass me in my dreams, or the squid costume comes to envelop my right arm I’m in fairly good shape.
Our new band has started. We need to start recording. Probably once we get settled in the new house with a dedicated ‘band room’
Gaming continues to live on…just not to the extent that I used to back in the HS days. Most of us have lives now J
…of course spontaneous bouts of unusual erratic behavior are always welcome. Just please, no gambling. Or strip poker. Well…that depends actually!
Seeya all around!

State of the Palace 3/2/04
It’s been awhile since I’ve sent anything related to Cyberpalace, MVG, etc. Then again, there haven’t been any major changes recently. Wonderfull.
I just wanted to check in with everyone and inform what’s all going on with myself. Even though I’ve already spoken with a couple about the current ongoings, this way everyone knows.
I will be moving to 4303 Albertly probably late Spring (June-ish). This will be the first time living on my own. I plan to have a bedroom dedicated to computer-related activities. The final plan calls for 8 systems/monitors.
I have some big ideas for the house but everything depends on my financial situation at the time.
I plan to have a full-time band once I get settled in. I won’t actively pursue members until I have the instruments/recording studio all set up in my basement.
My health is improving. I still have a lot of personal goals which are still very far-off right now. I expect to spend 3-5 days/wk at the gym, and a couple hours each day dedicated to treatment.
One of my goals will be to recruit Cleveland-area gamers for LAN parties and such.
I am still working at 6am 4-5 days per week. The rink hours are negligible anymore, and I plan on “retiring” in about a month or so. Therefore, I take afternoon naps which stretch into the evening often J My oxygen levels are still not optimal, especially when sedate (which may explain the whole SchleepyZa thing J but anyways…
The next 3 months or so will be interesting. I expect things to get moderately stressful. My job situation is a little shaky, as we’re going through re-alignment and many are losing their jobs. I will be switching to a new position within a few weeks, but at this time I’m a little anxious and waiting to see what happens.
Eye is a letter.
Yum.
Good luck, Have fun

MERRY XMAS from ZAZAZAZA!!!!
Greetings creatures great and small...
It's been quite some time since I have created a publication to the ZA Distribution List. Some people may have thought I was devoured by some giant Sea Monster...these rumors are untrue.
I have married a princess and am currently living in a far away land where the deer and antelope play.
I swear the above statements are false. It isn't even a FAT princess!
Right now I am on the 30 lbs. in 30 days plan. It is working out quite well...
I meant GAINING 30 lbs! Yes, this can be done. And yes, it can have desirable effects.
Oh yeah, I wanted to make mention of the upcoming Christmas holiday! Everyone should have a wonderful time with family and friends (and pets too!). I hope everyone gets all the gifts they requested. Santa appears to have a good outlook on everyone's lives this year!
I'm moving out this spring. This should be exciting and will include many ZaFest gatherings and such.
ZaFest? Wow, I don't think I've used that term in awhile. Maybe I should. We usually still eat P. Jay's Pizza. Tastes Great!
I feel deprived. I haven't seen the final Lord of the Rings episode yet. Should I be worried about something?
Some of you have graduated college this year. Others are finishing up in the spring. Congratulations to all! (I hope the future looks bright and shiny!)
According to the current schedule, I should be receiving my degree in futility sometime between 2013 and 2016.
Did I mention I cannot wait to move out??? Did I mention my down payment is going to be quite large and can be symboized by a giant hammer? Did I mention my 3 children want me to go outside and build a snowman? But there's no snow?
Forget about that 3 children deal...I think I have to wait until I receive my Degree of Futility.
Did anyone ever think maybe I had Mad Cow? Perhaps you should start wondering...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Everyone has a fun, safe, eventful, exciting and otherwise happy holidays!
Be sure to drop a line or visit or call or enlighten me in any other way!

Ok...this was uncalled for...
There ain't that much I can say that everyone doesn't know already...today was a very tragic day in American history. I don't think words can really describe the horrible act of violence witnessed in our country today.
We can go on and on trying to find solutions. Todays actions prove that even our national megapower has it's own weaknesses. We aren't invincible, no matter how technologically advanced we may think we can be. In fact, we have many weaknesses. I hesitate to say that our country is a "time bomb", but the sad truth is that even the simplest of problems can sometime bring our great nation to it's knees. Our economy is finding itself in a world of hurt right now...although probably the least of our concerns right now...
I have never experienced such an extreme tragedy in my lifetime...at least that I am conscious of at this time. If nothing else, we can see it as a "wake up call" to all those who still believe that we're invincible. We learned when Shakespeare wrote "Security is mortals' chiefest enemy".
Anything can happen at any time.
Our country is fairly peaceful. You don't see too many acts of violence in everyday life, but many times in the news we hear about violence in the city and stuff. It really makes you wonder why we're killing ourselves. Disarm yourselves. Give peace a chance.
In memory of all those who have perished this morning; the passengers and the pilots on the USAir and AA flights, the workers in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and all the innocent bystanders. Our prayers go out to the friends and families of the deceased. Send this to five people to show your support. DONT BREAK IT
