even now there are no stores, no christmas trees, no lights, no santa......but its still christmas. its good to keep track of these things. i hope all those out there are at least celebrating whats important...loved ones, health and life. just wish i would have known that or at least realized it when i had my loved ones.
if you have em close, hold on to em tight and dontlet go. forget the presents, the feasts, the television specials....whats important is sitting breathing right next to you.
merry christmas

close call
okay that was close, i didn't hear them coming, damn waster got me. he smacked me in the head with some type of pipe, finally got the bleeding to stop. im out of cayenne now though. i took off running, glad all my stuff was still packed.
son of a bitch was on my heels for a while, damn good thing i can run still. i haven't seen any sign of em for over an hour so i hope i lost em. gonna keep moving through the night just to be safe.
thats the last time i get lost in thought, stupid ass memories. my past will get me killed, got to keep my eyes and ears open and ready.

i wont survive without water out here.
ok fine im going back for it, gonna have to be quiet.

a star
i can see a star in the sky, it has been months since i have seen one. i started to think they were all gone. i found a good spot to hold for the night, got a cliff at my back and the towns light at my front even though its faint its still there.
being in thst outpost brought back some memories, and walking by yourself for hours on end, memories is all you have. i remember having a family, my wife and my children. i remember their voices, when they laughed and cried. God i miss them.
i dont miss technology, i dont miss money. i miss family, friends and good times. i do like the simplicity of life now, but i have exchanged worrying about bills with worrying about wasters and where im gonna find me next meal. in a way im glad my family are not here, i couldnt handle seeing them starve or go thirsty. if a waster got a hold of them i dont know what i would do.
if i could go back in time i would hold on to them and never let go. we all go thru life and we get wrapped up in trivial activities and we lose focus on the only thing that matters. family and friends.
i havent shed a tear in 439 days.
i need to sleep.

on the road again
well im on my feet again, i did like being at the outpost but i was starting to feel trapped. had to move on. got a full pack, a full charge and a semi full belly, im good.
i heading across this desert but keeping the road at barely an eyes distance, too many travel the road. that will get ya killed, and i like being me think ill keep being me. i heard that some might be reading what im writing, thats cool. you may need to get a hobby or something, im pretty boring.
my brief history, i have been walking for years, but it has been 439 days since i left the old man. he was the one that found me, i had been walking before that but got attacked, i got away but somehow took a digger and ended up buried in sand. we do have quite a fierce sandstorm here every oncein a while. the old man said that probably saved my life, made it where the wasters couldnt track me. we started walking together after that, walked for a long time. he told stories all day and night, but i liked it.
he was a grouchy old man but i cared about him, once i had to smack a towner over the head with a rock cause he was pounding on the old man, just couldnt have that. the first few months i thought we was heading somewhere but i found out he liked to walk in circles. so we did that for a long time, not anymore.
i have a place in mind but not so sure its a good idea, but what the hell im just a walker anyways, cant live forever......right?
ok break is over, and signal is weak. i will update when i can.

what a day...
where do i start? today was supposed to be a simple day, restock provisions, talk to the old man, maybe play some music. but no that didn't happen. some wasters got inside the outpost, thats bad enough, but these wasters were canns too. they got to a small family in the back side of the outpost, the marauders got into their house and killed the whole family. nobody would have known but the father was due for his gate duty so they went and checked on him to find the 3 wasters in the house. i wont go into detail what they were doing, just imagine the worst possible and add some.
the security guy hung the wasters on the outside of the gate as a message to any more of them that want to sneak in. i can still hear them scream, he didn't kill em, but they wont last much longer. i am not a fool i know violence is needed, it's just not my cup of tea. i will kill if needed, but to inflict pain just for the sake of it, that's not me.
i have decided i am heading out tomorrow, i can't sit still this long just got to keep moving. met some good people here, and will stop by again some day if they are still here. i got just enough light to type this and then im gonna read some. got a few pages left of a bible i found, so i read them at least once a week.
if anybody is out there, double check your doors and sleep in shifts. logging off for the night.
safe travels for the nomadik dj.

day # 438
it's another lovely day here in the wasteland, im currently in outpost cielo and the traffic is light, we have a stalled push cart on the main street blocking traffic but it should be cleared shortly for you morning commuters. hehe
i think im gonna take a inventory of my gear and supplies, refill what i need before i meet up with the old guy from last night. i want to hear his histories.
this is so wierd for me, im not used to not watching my back constantly. most folk here are hospitable with a few exceptions, there is one guy that stares at me all the time. sort of creeping me out. just need to stay clear of him.
well i will tell ya more later.

before dawns light
something about the stillness before dawns light that i enjoy. i like sitting here quietly listening for sounds, hoping to hear the sound of the past we have lost, what was it like when these streets had cars on them that actually moved without people pushing them? when people could walk the streets freely without worry of being taken never to be heard from again.
i have heard stories of a good time when folk just had fun, now fun almost makes you feel guilty. i cant even eat a bowl of soup around others without offering some of it away. maybe this is why folk like my music so much, it helps them forget just how bad it really is, helps them escape this world for a moment.
maybe someday i will find a place that has some real security, not hired guns but real security. no threat of wasters or canns, just plain folk that live and let live. that would be worth settling down, until that time i have to keep moving, got to keep searching.
i look around this outpost, these buildings were something back then. some of the signs are still up, over there is the mad greek. i wonder why mr greek was mad, and why did he need a sign about it. and this really tall thing, not sure what it is, the sign says worlds tallest therm. what is a therm anyways?
when light hits im walking to aliens jerk see if they got anymore of that rabbit, im sure it aint rabbit but i dont care its meat, dont get much of that. a few clouds in the sky but i can see a lot of stars, the sky is quite nice when the curtain is pulled back.
well thats it for now.

respect the old ones
met an old timer, said he is gonna tell me some history if im around tomorrow. looks like i might stay a day or so, besides who can pass up more of that hot soup and "rabbit" im just gonna say its rabbit and leave it at that.
getting tired, haven't heard no alarms lately, maybe the wasters are giving up for the night. been lucky so far only ran into them type once and got away with most of my stuff too. music works on them too, most of em never heard it before, too young to remember. play a song and they lose their minds trying to figure it out.
saw a scavenge shop today maybe i will go check em out tomorrow and see what they got i can barter for. i do need some more straps, mine are getting thin.
ok all, i am gonna try to sleep now, you stay safe out there, the wasters seem to be on the prowl. full moon ain't helping nothing. take care, maybe next outpost will be set up where i can transmit music for you all. check back daily i will let you know whats going on.

alarms? what the hell?
ok so waking up to the sounds of alarms is not what i had planned. i guess some wasters decided to rush the gate, but they seemed to have stopped them. looks like i wont be sleeping tonight. player is not charged and no way to charge it till the sun shines again. guess i can walk the outpost and see whats going on around here.
oh by the way, the outpost loved abney park when i played them, especially stigmata martyr and dear ophelia. so glad i got those tracks when i could. used to be i would dj all the top 40 stuff and remixes and such, now any music will do, but the people love the classics and the steampunk stuff. who knew this would be a trade after the dust and ash settled.
ok all you out there in the wasteland, i might update some more later if not you all sleep well.

outpost cielo - party in the wasteland
just me and my bag of tricks, who knew that by just playing some of these old songs people could feel so happy. the old man was right, make em smile and they will feed you. funny thing is he had a terrible sense of humor. in fact he stayed away from these outposts, he was scared of them. so far so good I suppose just played for a little over an hour before the charge ran out on my player. hope to get more sun tomorrow to charge it.
the smiles on the little ones always makes my heart warm, the hot soup helped that a lot too. been walking too long need to take a break, im not getting any younger. maybe find a woman to settle down with, maybe a place of my own in an outpost or a town? hahahahaha who am i kidding? me settle down? no way in hell is that happening. must be the soup and coffee talking, hehe.
need to get some provisions before I head out tomorrow, maybe some dried rabbit, at least I think it was rabbit. i hope it was rabbit.
time to sleep, can't break the habit though even in an outpost im still all huddled around my pack. i think this blog thing is gonna be fun, i do like to hear myself talk.
goodnight wasteland, safe travels.

was asked how it all started
first of all thanks to the tinker for fixing my e button.
here you go,
its not very clear to me how it all happened, i vaguely remember something about a war. some said it was the earths end, nobody was supposed to live, but here we are. the old man that found me said he had been walking for months when he stepped on me, said i was half buried in the sand. at first he was gonna loot me, but said he felt nice that day and decided to wake me up instead.
i remember that first taste of water though, such a sweet taste. my tongue and throat were so dry i couldn't even talk for a while. he just sat there by his little fire telling me stories, how he escaped wasters and how he wandered all over between towns and outposts. never going in any of them always staying a safe distance, he just liked seeing the lights, said it made him feel less alone.
he sat with me for 3 days, then we started walking, don't remember which direction but we ended up on the outskirts of vegas town. he said that was a dangerous town, filled with hatred and pain. you could smell something burning even as far out as we were. he said it was the smell of burning flesh they were canns in there and outsiders didn't stand a chance, they would be captured and eaten straight away.
we saw caravans of people go inside vegas town but none of them seemed to leave. he made me promise to not go into vegas town, wouldn't leave me alone till i did. So why am i headed there now?
okay that's enough down memory lane, need to get set up for this party. its funny, the world is over but people still love a party.
