December 4th, 2003 - You will see some pop-ups on the site for a few days as I switch providers. My friends are starting their own hosting business and I'm going to support them. Expect a lot of enhancements in the near future to this site. I appreciate your patience. November 30th, 2003 - Nothing really new right now. Vacation is almost over. Time off is good. That's it. Talk to you bastards and bitches later on. November 26th, 2003 - The time has arrived. The site overhaul was completed today at 2:30pm. I finalized the design last night and spent the rest of the time adjusting pages, links etc. The "music" link works, but the links within still don't work. That will be the last thing I do, as I intend on finishing that up with the final project additions. Please let me know what you think. It navigates a little easier. Talk to you all again soon. November 25th, 2003 - Deep into my vacation now. Looking forward to Thanksgiving. Should be relaxing. Lots-o-food, football and movies. I actually worked on the project yesterday with Jim. Lots of fun and we accomplished a lot. Don't want to give away the dirt because I have to have some surprises for you. Really cool stuff, though. Can't wait for you to see it. So, where will we be in 10 years? I think there will be a new incurable plague that will sweep through and wipe out a good percentage of the population. There are just too many people in the world right now and space will soon be an issue. Conspiracy mind at work .. or not at work. Damn, I'm tired. It's 2:30 am. So, I saw the 60 minutes episode on porn in the US today. More money is spent on porn than all major sports each year. Over 10 billion dollars annually. Fricken amazing. Has satan arrived in the form of porn? Is this our false god? Time will tell. Gotta go download more gods. November 22nd, 2003 - Living Colour. Yes, I went to see the band in concert. They were the first concert I ever saw back in '90 - '91. Living Colour with opening special guests Primus. Great show. This was at an amphitheater with about 10,000 people. Last night, it was in a club with about 200 people. I was right in front of Vernon Reid and got the entire bands autograph on my ticket stub after the show. Click here for a couple of pics(note, they will be in a new window). November 19th, 2003 - Project update, models. It will not be out until January-February timeframe. The reason is a simple 12 part explanation broken out individually into 35 different sub-sections that give extreme detail as to why the world is a solid gas. Actually, one thing led to the secondary decision. Cause and effect. I ran out of money. Cause. The release will be delayed. Effect. I could do it, but I don't want to skimp out on this one like I have on past projects. It will be delayed. A tad more mixing and duplication and inlays to go. November 18th, 2003 - Weiner envy. Nut dunking. Cherry Cocksicle. Red slit taco and a side of thighs with a butt hole surprise for dessert. In your ass, the rot, the streaks, your ass, all food complete, your ass, I see the darkness ...a thousand gerbils, your ass. Your ass. Your ass. In your ass! November 9th, 2003 - Some things can't be taught. All of the education and life experiences in the world could never teach me how to run full speed while dragging my ass on the ground like a dog. And we're the superior mammal.. November 1st, 2003 - I can't believe it's not butter. I will be in the studio on Tuesday, November 4th to hopefully have the remainder of the 5 bass tracks recorded. Unfortunately, Barry Sparks is too busy to record these tracks (He is on tour in Japan with The B's and is now going to be recording with the Scorpions on their next album). I will have a different bassist record the last 5 tracks. SHould be interesting. This weekend is NASCAR weekend in Phoenix. THe Bro-in-law and family are there and I will soon be visiting them. The race is a lot bigger than I thought it could be. Over 100,000 people will be there. That's just huge. Arizona also got the Super Bowl in 2008. Awesome. School is winding down (this class anyway) as I will be starting my next class in a little over a week. After that class, I will have 21 credits, meaning I will need less than 100 to graduate. I will be attempting to test out of about 30 credits worth of classes which is one full year knocked off, meaning that I could graduate in approximately 2 - 2.5 years. In the grand scheme of things, it's not too far off. Just need to push through it. I can't believe 2003 is almost over. My 10 year high school reunion came and went. I had my last birthday in my twenties a few weeks ago. Time is speeding up. I'm enjoying life and that's what really matters. My cd will be out soon and that will be a grand thing. I can't wait. October 28th, 2003 - UPDATE# 7 or something. The project is winding down. 12 songs are complete with 5 to go. Approximately another 10 hours or less in the studio is required. A little behind where I wanted to be, but so it goes. This project will not be called "The Bair Nutz Project" as I have additional plans for that title. Still undecided at this point. I will let you know. I'm thinking the cost of the cd will be in the neighborhood of $8 per disc. 17 songs and nearly 65 minutes of music is a steal. I want to keep it affordable, yet realistic as far as some sort of cost recovery. Gotta run for now, but will talk to you all very soon. October 24th, 2003 - A lot of progress has been had for this project. Will it be complete by the end of today? No. But it will be as far as we can go. Just need bass on 5 tracks (2 of which will be done this weekend) and then to mix those tracks and then it should be complete. I still expect a December release (money is getting pretty short right now). Talk to you all real soon. Also, I forgot to say happy birthday to Chris A. (October 8th) and Aaron M. (October 23). TVPB, you still have 2 days to wait, fucker! ;) October 21st, 2003 - I will update at the end of the week to give a progress report on the project. I'm in the studio this entire week. Also, so links have been updated. October 18th, 2003 - SOLO PROJECT UPDATE#6 - This project has taken more twists and turns in the last few weeks than I could've ever anticipated. Some songs have taken on a new life, a new direction and it's really trippy to hear it. I can't wait for you all to be able to hear this disc. I've never been more proud of a musical project in all of my life. It looks as if November / December will be when it is released. 17 songs and over 60 minutes worth of material. Bonus tracks??? Hmmm, we'll just have to wait and see. One more side note that I have already touched on. I have invested a lot of $$$ into this project. Though the primary motivation behind this is that I did it for me, I would like to recoup some costs associated. Seeing that I will be spending more $$$ sending copies off to labels, radio, etc., I will be selling these albums. Cost will range from $6-$10 - I still haven't decided. If the cost is $6, keep in mind that that's only $.30 per song. If you can afford to support, please don't ask for free handouts. If you truly can't afford the asking price but want a copy, please contact me. I'll definitely work with you in this case. Talk to you all soon. October 14th, 2003 - I was a good Samaritan today. I helped an old lady who had fell from her electric wheelchair/car. I didn't see the fall, but was flagged down by a hot chick who stopped to help her. One of those feel good about yourself moments brought on at the expense of another. We all need help sometimes I guess. Isn't that part of being a community? Remember to enjoy your life. Enjoy who you spend it with and cherish every moment spent together. Life is not about career, unless your career is a dream come true. Leave work at work. If you have to work from home and hate it, quit. Houses, vehicles and materialistic possessions do not make you who you are or define your character ...unless you let it. Life is not about status or possessions. Life is about love, sharing, companionship, celebration, and enjoying the things that make you happy. If materialistic things are the only thing that makes you happy, take up a golf or making stained glass or a musical instrument. Creating and learning is what we are supposed to be doing. We're good at it. Too many of you have not tapped into that part of your brain, your soul and it's truly a fucking shame. TV is no true way to relieve stress, in the sense of re-focusing that energy towards creating something. TV is an excuse to be lazy..or is it a right. I worked all day, so I deserve to sit my ass in front of the TV and veg., 5 nights a week. We are such a lazy society, and we get worse with each new breakthrough. Microwaves cook your food faster than conventional ovens. That's so you can get out to the TV faster and be lazy. How much money did you spend on your entertainment center (couch, TV, Laz-Boys, etc) vs dining table or outdoor activities done together? See my point. Tons of magic pills out now that will cure just about everything, including concrete, so no need to eat healthy anymore or worry about the effects of cell phone radiation. Magic pills, man! These could be the best times mankind has ever seen in regards to technological advances etc., but we're to lazy to really see it and utilize it. Sad. I'm done now. My microwave pizza is done. That was fast. George Carlin: Remember that life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breaths away. October 13th, 2003 - I was in the studio yesterday and put some last guitar parts and vocals down. The album is really starting to take shape now. Bass is complete on 12 songs. 95% of guitars are finished. 90% of vocals are complete. I'm bringing in a keyboardist on Thursday to add some atmosphere to some of these songs. Lots of really good stuff that I'm proud of. The raw mix from yesterday sounds pretty killer. The best quality recording I've personally ever participated on. Barry Sparks will hopefully have time to lay down the other 5 bass tracks in a hotel room somewhere in Japan and send them to us. Should be interesting. The goal is to have everything done by October 24th. By done, I mean mixed, mastered and ready for press. October 10th, 2003 - I pooped. It hurt. Sunflower seeds are good. The shells are bad. October 6th, 2003 - Studio time again this week. I'll update around Friday to give a summary of what happened. Life is good. Lots of ups and downs lately. Very extreme in either/both directions and very sudden changes. No complaints all in all. I'd like to say hello to TVPB. This fucker ;) only e-mails a few times a year, but I'll take that over no communication at all. Glad to hear shit is good for you and I went ahead and gave my toilet a protein bath in your honor. White on white, baby. School. I now have 15 college credits. I'll have 21 by the end of the year. 120 needed to graduate and 105 to go. Almost in the double digits. Whether or not I use this degree will depend on how far I make it in music. Though it will apply to that on the business side, it won't make me a better musician ... or will it? Education is education. Yea, whatever, fuckles! So, just 3.5 years to go ... an eighth of the way there. In all honesty, making a living as a musician and obtaining my degree are two of my life goals right now.. but if I had to chose ...well what do you think? October 5th, 2003 - ...I mean the 5-0 Vikes??? September 28th, 2003 - How about them 4-0 Vikes? September 28th, 2003 - STUDIO UPDATE #5 After a Saturday full of bass, this is where the project stands. Bass is still needed on 5 tracks with 12 being covered by Rob Paulus . He will probably play on one more song and Barry Sparks will take the other 4. So, bass is almost complete. Vocals are also coming along. 5 Songs left for at least lead tracks. That leaves 5 songs on bass, 5 songs on lead vocals, 8 songs on backing vocals, and approximately 7 songs needing additional guitars and guitar parts. It's starting to take shape now. September 21st, 2003 - Sneaky Vikings are quietly at 3-0. We'll see how they fare next week vs. San Francisco, who lost to Cleveland. Right now, the Super Bowl would be Tampa Bay vs. Tennessee. The Vikes still haven't played a team worthy enough to show how good they really are. TIme will tell. Packers lost to the Cardinals. Sweetness. Gotta get back to my 1750 word paper (7 pages) due on Wednesday. The only cool thing is that it's a debate on porn. Yay porn. So, what's up with Toehook? Good question. Damn good question. September 20th, 2003 - Studio again yesterday. Did vocals to 12 songs. Still more to go including more backing vocal tracks. It looks as if I'm going to have at least 2 different bassists on this album. Rob (I haven't learned his last name yet .. sorry Rob) and Barry Sparks. Barry will only be playing on a couple of tracks because he'll only be in town for a couple of days. He is currently playing bass on tour with Ted Nugent, the last gig ending tonight. He'll soon be touring again, from what I understand in Japan late September. Grab him while we can, right? Both Barry and Rob and both seem to be really cool, down to earth guys. I look forward to working with them. Jim has also been really good to work with as an engineer, Drummer, producer and a friend. I think I needed a change of pace from how previous projects came together (band vs. solo)... not that they were bad. It's more that going into the studio on my own has taught me a lot about being more professional regarding my music and being more prepared. The first few days were pretty stressful, because it's not like I'm going in with my part or parts and that's it. I got the whole damn song, baby. I definitely pay more attention to drums and bass now, but I was unprepared. I thought I was prepared, but I wasn't. Lesson learned. As stated before, some of the songs on this project were previously released, some previously recorded and unreleased and some are brand new. Here's the break down Previously released songs - 4 Why I did it this way again was for two main reasons. The first is that I wrote these songs and they represent me at different stages in my life. A sort of musical history. Second is that I've always felt that there was unfinished business related to these songs. These and others too, but these more so. I need to have some closure, in a sense, so I can move on to the next project. I need to purge these files and make room for new stuff. I already have 4 new songs written, ready to be recorded, for the next project. I might pull a couple songs from the vault on this project as well, but time will tell. I need to finish this one first. This project is currently approx. 60% complete. The last session( hopefully) will be in mid-October to finish up production, vocals, guitars, additional instruments etc. I hope to leave that session with the finished product, ready to be pressed and made available for sale. 17 songs and over 60 minutes of music. I'm excited. September 16th, 2003 - It's been a little while since the last update. I've been fucking busy, what's new. So, 17 songs recorded and this Friday I will start the vocals. Still some guitars to add, but vocals will be the focus for now. THis project is moving a little faster than I had originally anticipated. I figured a March-April release, but the way things are going currently ... well let's just say Ho ho fuck ho. So, recap - The drums and main guitars are complete. Some leads and lead fills still needed along with all vocals and bass. Side note - I already have 5 new songs for the next project. There may be some old stuff that I will pull in, but I'll worry about that AFTER this project is complete. Gay, huh. If things go well with this project, I might be back into the studio around June for the next one. That doesn't include possible band/project recordings with other musicians. Class reunion was cool. Everyone is pretty much the same. So am I. Until the next 10 years. Nice seeing some folks though. Almost finished with class # 5 for school. That'll put me at one eighth of the way there. Just 35 classes to go. 3.5 years will fly by and next thing you know I'll have a degree ... unless I get signed first. School go bye bye then. Speaking of getting signed, I will be sending this CD out to reps and execs as soon as it's complete. I'm hoping to be able to get some sort of notoriety from it. I believe it will be that good. But, if nothing but making the CD comes from it, I'll be perfectly content. Something my kids will be able to make fun of someday. That's it for now. Hope you (yea fucker, I'm talking to you) are well and life is being kind right now. Talk to you all soon. p.s. The links section has been updated. Check it out, well! August 31st, 2003 - 10 year class reunion last night. Trip out. It was very surreal. Lots of people I hadn't seen since ...well 10 years. All in all a good experience. Hello to all of you checking in. August 29th, 2003 - STUDIO TIME. Just got in from the second day in the studio. Jim Pavett has just completed all drum tracks to the 17 songs that are being recorded. Considering that he hadn't played the songs that much before, he did great. Nailed a few songs in the first couple takes. Tuesday and Wednesday will be guitar and vocal days and then more time will be scheduled as needed. As I mentioned before, some songs being recorded are songs that my previous bands may have played; 2 or 3 which were actually released. This CD will be a compilation of songs from my career that best represents me as a songwriter and musician. All songs were written by me. I'm very excited now that it has finally started. I will update again on Wednesday regarding the project. Vegas on Thursday. I will update when we get back. 3 nights and 4 days in beautiful Sin-City. Looking to relax even more and not think about.... more like gain an outside perspective on the things that have been stressing me out lately. August 28th, 2003 - It hath begunith. The studio, that is. Check tomorrow's news for complete details. August 18th, 2003 - Happy B-day, Scot! August 17th, 2003 - Jammed with Jim Pavett yesterday to get him familiar with the material on the project. It was a blast. He will be drumming on all of the songs on the project. Jim's been great so far and we have a relationship where we can be honest with each other without getting too butt-hurt. Outside of this project, personal life, work and school consume the rest of my time. Though this project will be fun, I'm a little nervous because this is the first time that I have gone for it on my own. As for the feel of the disc, I have a few(17) songs picked out that will be recorded, but all may not be released. A few are songs that will be recorded were played in bands past, but I wrote them and reserve that right to record my songs how I see fit. This is intended to give these songs the proper release into the world that they, unfortunately, never had. This project is a way for me to record and release the music that I have so I can focus on writing new material in the near future. Creative purge, if you will. Tomorrow night, I will be going into the studio to lay down some scratch guitar tracks. This will enable Jim to lay down the drums at his leisure prior to me entering the studio on Aug. 28th. During my 4 days in the studio, I hope to nail all of the guitar tracks and most or all of the vocals. We're getting down to the wire. I hope to be able to provide pictures on this site soon of the process as it unfolds. I anticipate that this project will be my focus for the remainder of the year, releasing early next year. Due to the $$$ put into this project, if I forget to ask you later, please don't ask for a free CD. I will keep the cost as low as possible (depending on my out of pocket expenses), but I want to at least make an attempt to break even. VIVA Las Vegas in less than 3 weeks. Can't wait. We're staying at Bally's on the Strip. Should be fun. If I win big, the project will be a lot easier for me to finish anyway. If I win small, I'll buy a self-lubricating pocket pussy and fuck myself. Either way, I'm a weiner....I mean winner. School. Well, almost done with class #4. So, that will be 12 credits earned since April. Just 108 to go. Seems like a lot, but these classes are flying by now. The workload sucks, but the material changes every 5 weeks so boredom isn't as much of a factor. Almost CLEP time for Math or Humanities. 10 Year high school reunion in less than 2 weeks. I was pumped at first, but now I don't really care. I officially hang out with no one from highschool anymore. T doesn't count. I already payed my fucking money, so I guess I'll go. Maybe there's a nice place to fuck if I get bored or something. That's it for now. Talk to you rimlickers later on. Keep on rubbin' the fuzz. August 10th, 2003 - What's new? Well, I'm counting down the days until I go into the studio. August 28th is the magic day. Under 3 weeks now. Life is good. I'm practicing my ass off on the songs that I will be recording. Some will not make this release. Also, when it gets to be time for selling the cd's, please support a musician and pay for the disc. I will keep them as cheap as I possibly can. I went a saw a friend's band play last night and they had a new release filled with 16 songs. They were selling the cd for $5. People were complaining about the price. It blew my fucking mind. That's fricken cheap. These guys weren't looking for a profit as much as they were looking to get their music out into the public. That shit irritates me because eveyone wants a free handout, especially friends. Support doesn't always mean $$$, but cd's aren't cheap to make. If I ever break even from CD sales, I'll be stoked. July 27th, 2003 - Dates for the studio have been solidified. I will enter on August 28th and 29th. The set of songs to be recorded is still on the chopping block and I will keep you informed on any and all updates. I will soon be using the "Nutz Solo" section specifically for project status related to this effort. There is more news to come. Vegas is only a little more than a month away. I'll be in the studio, then off to Vegas. Winning big would be nice but I'm more looking to relax. I will update in a few days with more important info. You might also notice some small site enhancements. Size does matter. July 16th, 2003 - No news is not necessarily a reflection of what is happening. I actually have so much shit going on that I haven't had time to really update what is new. So, here's what's new with me.
July 14th, 2003 - There are a lot of changes coming up in the VERY near future. Big changes and small changes. I will keep you informed as it all unfolds. July 4th, 2003 - Enjoy your 4th of July weekend and try to participate in and enjoy as much sex as humanly possible. July 1st, 2003 - I was talking with a friend and we (I) decided that I'd make a great lesbian. Probably one of the best in the world. Munch-a-lick-a-nibble. When in doubt, two in the pink and one in the stink. June 29th, 2003 - Ladies, remember that this ------------- is 8 inches long, okay? There will be a test over this material. God bless. June 26th, 2003 - If you suck your own dick, does that make you gay? What if your dick was long enough and you could poke your own ass? I guess it'd be ok if most men could do it. It'd probably be a little more acceptable if more of the male population were hung. Until then, I guess us guys with huge dicks will have to live in silence. (I hope the rubberband doesn't break) June 25th, 2003 - I must admit that I like the vagina. Soft nibbles and a lick, anyone? June 24th, 2003 - I just realized that this site has been up for almost 5 years. Holy fucking shit. Since November of 1998, knutz.net has been bringing you information that is completely worthless and time wasting. We'll have to do a 5 year celebration to commemorate this historic event. E-mail me any ideas you might have. June 22nd, 2003 - Q&A time on knutz.net. Here we go. Q. "So, now that Toehook is
back, when's the next show?" Q. "In today's society, it
seems as if corporations are making attempts at maintaining good relations
with it's stakeholders (the employees, the community etc), especially
when compared with the 1970's. Would you agree?"
Q. Where does the word 'cunt' come
from? Q. Do you know the formula to convert
Celsius into Fahrenheit? Q. I'm constipated and have no access
to fiber. Is there a natural way to treat this? Some answers to repeat e-mails I've been receiving.
June 15th, 2003 - Once upon a time, there was a band called Metallica. They rocked. Soon enough, they were making millions and all of the anger that fueled their music went away. Now, 12 years after their first "sell out" album they released St. Anger. Maybe their attitude is fuck it. Sounds like it on the album. There are a couple of songs that are ok, but when you start reusing lyrics from past songs for current songs, it's usually the kiss of death. Megadeth did it on their last album. Now, they are no more. Other than being a loyal fan, who am I to judge? They can do what they want. Just not the direction I would've gone. Time will tell. Changes to the site coming soon. In the development and alpha stages right now. I'm madly in anger with you! June 14th, 2003 - I had to pee, so I did June 13th, 2003 - Friday, the fucking 13th. I realized that all of the shit I used to give my parents about staying home on Friday night has become me. My life is lame in that respect. Oh well. Shut up and do something about it you fuck! THink I'll go play with my cock or something. Why do women irritate the fuck out of men? We're simple creatures, really. Feed us, occasionally dress us, pretend you like us and put out a little and we're loyal creatures. Take any one of those out of the equation and we will wonder. Don't be bitches. Fucking just pay attention to us and we'll pay attention to you. I'm not going to continue buying you shit if you stop putting out. I'm not going to continue asking you to the movies if you say no. I'm not going to ask you to hang out if you continue to say no. Stop being selfish all the time and listen to what the man has to say before you form an answer. Fuck you. Hit the road and stop wasting my time, you stupid bitch. THere are good guys out there. There are good girls out there, too. Believe it or not, I'm a good guy, but I don't know how much longer that will last. I tired of this shit. Women fucking piss me off. Their attitudes, their materialistic "needs" and damn the pussy. It's the creation of all evil in this world today. Pussy, as enjoyable as one can be, is the definition of sin. It manifests evil. And the alternative is to have a cock in my ass or in my mouth. Gotta love having options. I'll end with a sexist joke. Why did God create yeast infections? He wanted women to know what it's like to live with an irritating cunt, too. June 9th, 2003 - Party is officially over and it was a great time. Thanks to all who showed up and thanks to Brad and Pete for hosting it. It was a good time. May 26th, 2003 - Life is a bowl of cherries. I just went through one of the hardest weeks in my life. Glad it's over and I survived. Memorial Day weekend. Went swimming, went to Phoenix to see the D-Backs lose. Life is good. So, what's on the horizon now? Homework in both school and band, work and I'm trying to finish writing a song. It's pretty cool, but haven't had too much time to play around and complete it. I also like Skee-Ball. So where do I go from here? What the hell am I saying? The art of random is upon us and I'm going to type whatever is on my mind without analyzing it first. Just true random jargon. SO, what's on my mind? I think the war will do wonders for our economy in the near future. I think Saddam and Bin Laden are evil fucks, but no more evil than our corporations ... just execute plans a little differently. Hussein/Bin Laden use physical scare tactics ... aka we will kill you if you disagree. Corporate will let you live most of the time, but in the best interest for the business, you no longer have a job and everything you've worked hard for over the last 10 years has suddenly been taken away. Either work your way up through another company, starting near the bottom again or uproot everything and move, knowing that in 3-5 years the chances of having to move again are great. Isn't corporate America fun? Encourage the one for one mentality because that's the way it's becoming and it's a great survival technique. Peace out and talk to your asses later. May 19th, 2003 - Spell check test. I'm going to finish the news and not correct any of my typos or missed punctuation. From here on out no spell check and no backspace. WHAT ELSE IS NEW? A lot of crap going on at school and work very soon. Not looking forward to the week of hrell buitit should be gould for the spirits or somethinfg. War bad. Economy bad. Saddam and Osama bad. At least that;s what the media would hav e you believe. Media sucks sometimes. They twist shit to make it the story that they want to cover as opposed to the truth. Just gay is all . Media=bad. We''ll gotta run brvasse I'm falling a sleep hrtr/ GTood night, all! PARTY FLYER coming soon. Goodnight May 11th, 2003 - With our first show in over a year and a half less than a month away, Toehook have been hard at work rehearsing and preparing for this gig. We anticipate that there will be more than 6 people at this party. We also anticipate some FEMALE bare ass shots and possibly a couple of boobie flashes ... not really, but we're hoping. If you'd like to flash Toehook, please make a reservation by clicking on the e-mail link and in the title please write "I want to flash Toehook". We'll be accepting reservations up to the point that the party is over. Thank you and have a nice day. Peace. Email us. May 2nd, 2003 - A GIG!!!!! That's right, Toehook have a gig at a famous Brad and Pete party extravaganza. Times are yet to be set, but we have a date for you. Saturday, June 7th is the day. Sound will be provided by none other than Mr. Gary Mann. Gary has been a friend for a long time now and has always provided us with a good live sound. We appreciate Gary taking time out of his busy schedule to do this for us. I'm sure it'll be a night to remember. More details to come. It's great to be back!!! April 27th, 2003 - Here's a article from May 2003 Maxim Blender by Jonah Weiner. It reads; "Osama Bin Laden's niece is trying to be a pop star and plans to release a single this year. Waffa bin Laden, 26, whose father is the notorious terrorist's brother, is launching a recording career. An American-trained lawyer-turned-London socialite, bin Laden is working with Madonna producer Nellee Hooper. Although the svelte beauty severed ties with her uncle years ago, she fears her surname might hinder her chances at success. American Idol judge Simon Cowell put it bluntly in England's Sun newspaper: "There's only one worse surname you could have to launch a pop career: Hitler." Another article in this magazine is titled "20 most Rock & Roll towns in the USA!" Here they are in the order that they appear in the magazine;
So, there you have it. Tucson made the list. Maybe it's time to stop focusing on what sucks about Tucson and start recognizing the good aspects of the town. There are clubs to play. There are good bands. Tucson bands need to lose the attitude and then I think the town would thrive. Let the shit talking cease and the brotherhood begin. Lastly, goodbye. April 25th, 2003 - N-E-G-L-E-C-T. Been fucking busy. Starting to find my groove, incoporating school into the personal schedule and all. WHat's new? As stated before, Toehook is back and in full effect. We're practicing once a week right now and looking at adding another night. We are going to be playing a party soon ... as soon as we agree on a date with the hosts, Brad and Pete. Probably sometime in Late May or early June. You will know when we do. As soon as we can get back into the swing of things, we will be putting a Toehook website back up. We also want to get back into songwriting mode so we can get back in and record the next release by us. The next one will be full length. That's all for today. More in a day or two. April 14th, 2003 - Finally an update, you fucking fuck! I've been completly slammed. I the last 2 weeks I got a promotion at work, started school and most important TOEHOOK is back! We will be practicing this weekend for the first time in over a year. We plan on playing a gig in mid-May at a famous Brad and Pete party. Gary Mann will probably be running sound. We are chosing cover songs as we speak and plan on attacking these very soon. Feels good to be back. I've gotten a few inquiries about the solo project lately. The status on the solo project is "Recovering from Burnout". I burnt myself out on it and just needed to step away. I've been mixing some songs that just didn't sound good enough to me over the past 2 weeks, hence no updates. Yea, a little weasel squeezing too! What else is new. What else is new? I've been hitting the trails on my mountain bike pretty hard lately. It's fun in a painful kinda way. Too many hobbies and not enough time or money to really enjoy them. The story of Life. So it goes. Knub rubbin'! Peace out! March 30th, 2003 - Air show day today. I'm fucking burnt from that bright-ass star in the sky. Saltine to Ritz, baby. Cracker-ass, cracker! March 20th, 2003 - C-R-A-C-K-E-R. Cracker-ass cracker. I am a cracker, you cracker! March 12th, 2003 - Hello to all of my old friends checkin in. It's good to have you here. Enjoy the site. Lots to read. Oh yea, I am not responsible for loss of I.Q. due to material contained within this site. March 9th, 2003 - Anyone seen my Masters of the Universe drinking cup and sticker set? Please let me know if you find it. God Bless and baby Jesus. March 8th, 2003 - Links on the Discography page will work as soon as I get all of the Bair Nutz Project updates finished. Please be patient. Please report any broken links on this site to heyfuckfacefixthelink@knutz.net. Gracias por nada. March 5th, 2003 - Shit hot! Super shit hot! Listen to the children while they play. I did a search on "knutz" in Yahoo and found that there is a band in VA called "The Knutz". There's also a mix master dude in GA that calls himself "Knutz". There's also a fuck in AZ that calls himself "Nutz" but has the domain of "www.knutz.net". What a fucking cheap ass copy cat motherfuck... oh yea, that's this site. Still a fuck anyway. So, this week has been, well a week. Not a ton new, but things. Life's journey for me has been great so far, but it seems like every time I get through something that was tough, something tougher hits immediately after. I'm not complaining. Right now a lot of mental shit going on. Lots-n-lots of decisions (potentially life changing) to be made soon. Gotta go. Don't want to get overwhelmed with thinking about this shit right now. One thing's for sure; Live in the now. Talk to you all soon. My love to all of you who are here (Especially the hot bitches with neatly trimmed pussies that like to give head with no expectations other than a load in the face). What a vulgar fuck I am. Peace out. February 28th, 2003 - Fun Fact: The word "Flapper" came from 19th century English slang meaning an unruly girl. Also, the word "snapper" is slang for pussy. SO, gentlemen, next time you're out with your buddies and there are women around that you don't approve of, simply say, "Stay away from that Flapper's snapper!" February 24th, 2003 - Only one thing better than filling your gut on a really good meal and that's a hearty shit after filling your gut on a really good meal. Out with the bad and in with the yum yum. February 19th, 2003 - Pop quiz, Asshole! Your high school reunion is this fall and you still haven't saved up enough money to get the surgery done to remove a couple of ribs so you can suck yourself off in front of your entire class. What do you do? Streak? Shit in your hand and throw it at someone? How about "no" you fucking weirdo. I'm going back to school to see some old friends and talk about the past. That's fine and dandy, but I live in the now. I don't want to dwell on adolescent fuck-ups (treating people like shit, social stereotypes, stupid human tricks, the stinky kid, etc.) Life is like a third over or something now. I already lived and learned from my childhood and early adulthood. Now is where it's at. It's all about my girlfriend, my dog, my family, my friends, my music, work, this website, trying to get past the 3rd level in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 while the rage grows and on and on and on. It seems like life is a weird trip. We start off as babies, living in the now, living in the moment. I'm hungry, so I fucking cry. I'm tired, so I fucking cry. I'm crying, so I cry harder and shit myself. As children through our late teens, we still live in the now. I want that toy; I'm hungry; Well, Bobby's parents let him go; You're so unfair; Can I have some money for lunch; You never listen to me; what's a clitoris; Rob hit me;Why; Why; Greg's trying to hump the dog again; and the list goes on. Then, things change. Gotta be more responsible, get a good job and move out on your own in the name of Independence. One hyphenated word to define Independence; Over-fucking-rated. So, responsible, independent STUPID young adults begin to realize how fast life is starting to move. High school was just last year ... just a couple of years ago ... just 5 years ago ... just, holy shit, 10 years ago. This is the time period where you begin to plan for the future, or at least think about it. You think to yourself, "I want to retire early so I better invest that money instead of buying that hamburger. I can eat tomorrow." So, this stage up to retirement is the 'Living and preparing for retirement Soon Come" stage. Then, after your kids grow up and move out at the tender age of 33, you retire and can live in the now again. I'm retired. Ahhhh, life is grand. No pressure, just live in the now.Live in the; Now, I have to take a shit and I don't think I'm going to make it to the bathroom in time because my walker has a flat tire. Now, I have time to do everything I've always wanted to do, but I'm too old enjoy it or do it. Now, all of the money I paid into Social Security is gone and the price of the medication that keeps my heart pumping is steadily increasing. Now are the last years of my life. Now, I even smell like old people smell. Now, the wife's tits are calloused from hitting her knees when she walks and I don't think there's any blood left in my peter. Now is almost over. How fucking sad. So, try to go through life and keep some aspect of the 'NOW' mentality. Don't wait for things to happen all of the time. Take charge and make shit happen. February 17th, 2003 - K-Mart fucking sucks. I went there to show my support as a consumer and help with the closing of a store. Nothing can be exchanged or returned. All sales are final. Out of 10 items, 2 were broken when I got them home. All sales are final. I called to see if they'd exchange .. I didn't want my money back, just an exchange. All sales are final. And that is my last experience to be had at K-Mart. Go Wal-Mart. Mother fuckers anyway. Happy President's Day. February 16th, 2003 - It's been confirmed. A confirmed confirmation only confirms that confirming a confirmation confirms confirmity. Wow, someone had a little extra pipe in the poop hole today. February 10th, 2003 - Big rumblings and rumors going on that Toehook is coming back? Is this true? You'll have to check back when all of the facts are in and the rumor can either be confirmed or denied. Soon come. In other news, it looks like we're on the brink of yet another war. The question is with who? Iraq, Afghanistan, Korea .. pretty much every country that we feel hasn't had enough of the big white cock that is America penetrating into their business. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with what we are doing. I'm just saying that involving ourselves into everyone's business is our business and what this country does. I think we're all wrong and we're all stupid and we're all working towards making our species extinct. That's unity, Baby. February 7th, 2003 - What how the why the fuck did it take so long to get the guestbook up? The questions are stupid. And FYI, a AA battery is not six inches long. (HINT: Using the same hand, hold your thumb on one end and your index finger on the other end of the battery. Using your free hand, pull the battery away. Keep the same distance between your thumb and finger. Now without changing the distance, walk up to your significant other and say "Remember, this is six inches long." Story of my life, I tell ya.) February 4th, 2003 - Look just above this to see what I finally got working. Yes, I finally invested in guestbook viagra. Sign it anytime .. it's always up. February 2nd, 2003 - So I'm sitting here, playing with my website and it hits me. What hits me? An idea. A really good one. One of those ideas that you drop everything that your doing so you can focus in and try to think it through. It's a good one. It's regarding the site. I'll let you know when I get it implemented. It'll be a fun addition to knutz.net, but I can't tell you just yet what it is. I gots to see if it'll work first. In other news, as you're all aware the Columbia blew up and seven astronauts were killed yesterday. Out of 100 missions, 2 failed and each killed 7 people. It's very sad. I heard about the finding of body parts and unsuccessfully fought back tears. That's what you would hope was incinerated in the explosion. Shuttle parts are one thing, but body parts... And the fuckers selling shuttle parts on e-bay soon after says a lot for our society and how we've evolved as a species. I hope that the astronauts are all in a better place. January 29th, 2003 - I would like to thank Remains of Chaos for the opportunity to play bass with them. It was a blast. Thanks for everything, guys! You and the fans were very kind. January 27th, 2003 - Regardless of who you liked, I have to say WHAT A PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A SUPERBOWL! That was the gayest superbowl I've seen in sometime. Granted, the NFC won, but I wanted a good game. Blowouts in a Superbowl suck (Unless the Vikings ever make it to the big game and they're killing their opponent ..then and only then is it ok). So, football season is over as quick as it started. Well, untill September .... In other news, my asshole itches. I feel like draggin my ass across the carpet like a dog does when their ass itches. Seems to work for them and looks be more effective than tugging and pulling through 2 layers of clothing. Though, I don't know how I could get my ass to touch the ground while running. At this point, it doesn't seem humanly possible. I'll get back to you after some experimenting. January 20th, 2003 - In a perfect world, time would never run out. Time, not money, would grow on trees. That would change the world. If all we had was time, we would be eternally wealthy. Live now. Gotta go. I'm outta time. January 19th, 2003 - Championship football weekend. Who's going to the SuperBowl and then who will be the champion? I think it's going to be a Raiders/Bucs superbowl with the Raiders being the ultimate winners. That's my prediction and I'm sticking to it. Lots of changes to the site lately. New links added, old links taken away. I did get rid of the 'National Band' links. The reason is simple; alot of links changed and keeping up became more of a pain in the ass than anything. That and it's just not a good representation of my musical interests as a whole. It only focuses on a small, select group of bands. So, my site and they go bye bye. I have updated the local band links and have added a couple of bands I've been meaning to add for quite sometime; Manifold and Warp 3. It's all about the time, baby. I have already gotten some interest for the next project that will include many different musicians. When the time comes, those of you who have showed interest will all be contacted. One thing at a time. Last, I'd like to give a shout out to my friend, Jim Pavett. Jim, get well soon, buddy. Peace, love and happiness! January 15th, 2003 - Lots going on right now. That is a good thing. Chack out the new Bair Nutz Project pics in the 'Photos' section. More from the project coming very soon. The project is winding down. I'm putting the finishing touches on some songs and getting ready to record the last song for this project. That will put it at around 12-16 tracks, depending on what makes the cut and what doesn't. I already have plans for the next project, which will begin immediately after the Bair Nutz Project is released. It will be very different than this one. It will be a collaboration with many different musicians on different songs. There are already 9 songs on the drawing board and more to come. This new project will more than likely be released on Mephoken Records, the same label that 'The Bair Nutz Project' will be released under. I expect this new project to be complete by mid-summer. If you are a long lost friend and would like to be a part of this, please e-mail me and write 'Indie Project' in the subject line of the e-mail (It helps me sort you from all of the spam.) so I can get you on the list and start organizing this ordeal. There will be more details at a later date. January 12th, 2003 - I'd type more, but I have to take a shit. Soon come. January 8th, 2003 - Guess what? I will be having high speed connections to the internet very soon. Life is good. So, what's new. Some shit on the horizon, but I'm not ready to divulge that info just yet. 2003 is looking like it's going to be a big year. We'll see. So, yes I am playing a couple of shows with my friends in Remains of Chaos as a bassist. Thursday, January 30th at The Rock and Saturday, February 1st at Billiard's Cafe. Go to the Remains of Chaos homepage for showtimes etc. It's been a lot of fun so far playing with the guys and I really appreciate the opportunity that they've given me. January 4th, 2003 - Check it out. Go to the Remains of Chaos homepage and see who's been added to the line up. A show at The Rock on Thursday, January 30th is a must see event. nutz.com ; nutz.net ; nutz.org ; knutz.com ; knutz.org All could've been the domain for this site. But well over 2 years later we're still here at knutz.net and life is good. This is our home. This is where I plan on keeping this site. There are a lot of changes planned for 2003 and knutz.net. I would like to have the MP3's up and available to you. More pictures and content and everything January 3rd, 2003 - Already, the world is a crazy place and yet we do things to enhance this. We love misery and bringing misery upon others. Why do we do this? Is this part of our nature? Part of our instinct? Part of our being that can not be changed? Prove to me otherwise. Show me a person that is down and miserable that doesn't want others, to some degree, to feel their pain. It's who we are. We also enjoy it when people we don't know are suffering. Why? Two answers. One, it's not you and two, it's entertaining. Ya gots ta be entertained and why not at someone else's expense? You know it's sad but true. January 1st, 2003 - HAPPY NEW YEAR. To celebrate the new year and to change it up a little, this is going to be the new news format for knutz.net. I feel it's time to change things around and evolve the site. Since this is one of the heaviest hit pages on knutz.net, I figured why not? If it doesn't work, we can always go back to the way it was. I believe it is an improvement. Please send me your opinion of this change now. It'll only take a few seconds. Is the font too small? Are the colors too boring? I want to know. Eventually, this site will evolve to something completely different than what you see now. Some people refer to that as 'always under construction'. I refer to it as continuous improvement. I'm always trying to make it better. I see more interaction with you, the visitor, very soon because I want to know what you think. What are your opinions?What important events have just happenned in your life? I want to hear from you. Also, if you have a website, let me know so I can add your link to the Links page.
