Lights, Camera, LEGAL ACTION

M

any of you know of my troubles with an ex-girlfriend of mine. If you'll take a moment to read a comment she left me this evening.
http://www.cozbaldwin.com/2006/03/front-page-trash.html

The comment is basically a legal definition of libel and how it applies to internet publications. You'll note the final sentance reads: "so i suggest you remove this link and page before i proceed to take action"

Apparently she missed the part where it says: "Truth is an absolute defense to libel or slander. No matter how malicious, how ugly the claim, if it's true, our system of justice says that the writer is permitted to state it as a fact, and there's no consequence." Apparently, in her mind she forgets that I can easily bring in any of the people she worked with to back up my accusations. And perhaps she forgets I also can bring in my roommate to defend them, too.

What she may have remembered, though, was that I foolishly allowed her to have her journal back which would have been solid, unbiased evidence of her lies had I kept it in my possession.

Funny how she's naive enough to do numerous things to fuck up her life but she'll step up and take legal action on someone who's telling the truth about her and trying to warn others not to fall for her facade.

Here's the deal, sweetie. I'm not scared of your threat. I know who's right and I've got a handful of others who can back me up. You've got nothing but your own word. But since you've already found your next person, I figure my attempts at warning others have fallen flat. So... since it's obvious I can't help the innocent, I might as well take down the link and page, since after all, that was my only reason for posting it.

Little Miss Legal Action, you were fun at times, but I hope I'm given the priveledge of witnessing your karma coming back at you just so I know you finally got what you deserve.

Gross Things

I

'm sitting here this evening with a hole in my back. See, I had a cyst removed this afternoon. It had to be carved out of me and filled with gauze. I'm in a bit of pain. I can only hope that when I wake up it will remain at this uncomfortable level but not higher. Gross.

There's a fraud issue within Cingular Wireless and I'm one of the many affected. Someone was able to order a new phone once they called in and verified my name and last 4 digits of my social. This is no good. I just discovered it tonight, so I'll be working on that tomorrow. Whoever did this was not after a new phone. I'm fairly certain they wanted my address in addition to what they already had on me. And they got it while they changed my address to somewhere in Brooklyn. I hope this is not the start of something real big. Sucks.

My show last Thursday was ok. The venue provided many disappointments but supposedly people enjoyed our music. If you were there, feel free to let me know how you really felt. Many people didn't show up that I expected not to show up, but I kinda hoped you would. (pictures from the show available in the Media section of www.circuittheorymusic.com)

I've apparently lost something that I really didn't want to. Not at all. I appear to be living a bit of a nightmare. Is it my own fault? Some of it, maybe. But I've done nothing to deserve such cruel fate... fate which is stuck in a revolving door. Must I lie to end the cycle? This lonely heart of mine is like a house that's haunted by a ghost who doesn't live here but who's threat scares off everyone else from moving in. What do I do? This is rediculous. This sucks. This is grossly rediculous. Can't you see what kind of hell I'm in because of this?

And the ghost says "Go ahead. Let them move in. I want you to be happy. I am not there. I won't be there."

And the tenants say "That ghost, I cannot compete with. I am scared of that ghost."

But the ghost is not there. And she will be sad she's scared off such good tenants and happiness from the house. And the tenants will feel sad they cannot live there and for a moment they'll feel guilty, but they'll remain confident in their choice. And my lonely house remains vacant as another few boards are nailed over the windows, despite the beautiful interior and convenient marble-top island in the kitchen which everyone loves. Does any of this make sense to anyone?

Someone's gotta change. Someone's gotta take a fucking risk once in awhile, because this revolving door keeps kicking me in the ass.

Haircuttery Sucks

A

lthough the people there are typically very nice and friendly, it is my theory that they are taught a handful of current styles and depending on what you tell them, they default to the closest style they know.

Let me give you an example!

My last 10 cuts or so were all unsuccessful attempts at getting something different from the "short on sides/back, little longer on top" cut. But I keep brushing it off. So, I walk in last evening after letting my hair grow out again a little. My bangs were passing the 3" length and down to my eyebrows. I was asked what I want and explained I wanted to keep this length on top. If anything, to trim it but no more than a half inch. The rest can get clipped to #3. She says "Sounds good!" and begins to cut.

During the cutting she asked when the last time I had it cut was. I tell her something like 5 or 6 weeks ago. "mmm hmmm." she says. And she cuts and cuts and it keeps getting shorter and shorter. By the end of it, my hair looks exactly like it did the last time I got it cut. A #3 clip length around the sides and back -- and about an inch long on top.

What the hell am I supposed to do with hair this short? I really was in need of a good-looking cut for my upcoming show. How could I have been more explicit? Next time I'm just going to have to be aggressive and VERY explicit in saying EXACTLY what I want. But still, like I said, it's like she figured I didn't know what I wanted and cut it to what she THOUGHT I wanted and what closest resembles a current style. God forbid I want something a bit customized.

Can anyone recommend a good and inexpensive barber in the delaware county area? This is horrible. I haven't had a haircut I really liked in YEARS. And this is especially maddening because I really wanted a good cut for this show next week.

August 17th -- 9pm

BE THERE!!!

Sidebar Hello. I used to have a blog, here, for 6 years up until 2006 when I needed to walk away from it all for a bit. After some time alone and the discovery of Twitter, I've decided to put cozbaldwin.com back into business. Twitter allows me to make brief updates at any time from anywhere. They are the blogs between the blogs. This is especially helpful since I rarely have the motivation to write out entire blogs anymore.
