Top 40 Blues

Will we ever get back to a time where actual talent earn you album sales and box office receipts? Now it seems the more pre-teens you can make scream the more YOUR song or movie will get money for advertising. Then the suits shove you so far down our throats everyone starts to believe "Well this must be what's in right now" and then all reason for original thought goes out the door.

Oh vocoder it was so nice when you were used in smaller rotation of songs. Ke$ha who doesn't seem like she sing or rap found a happy balance with just talking into auto-tune. This is the problem with most songs on the radio. Just put a four on the floor dance beat with some trash lyrics about drinking and puppy love with auto-tune and you got yourself a hit!

Don't get me started on Justin Bieber. If he was anymore whored out by his management and record label he be staring in the next documentary about children born into prostitution. I just pray he will fade away fast like the Jonas brothers at least they faked played guitar. No talent.

It seems like they just throw money at everything they think tweens will buy and hey thats one of the best demographics who will scream at their parents until they take them to the midnight premiere of the new Twilight movie.

But in a way I am glad these movies and songs get made because they make money and that lets that same record company feel safe enough to take a risk on that experimental band or throw a movie like Scott Pilgrim a budget it deserves. Even though it was not a box office success it was a amazing movie and they can't take that back, it's been made. Though if you want to have more bands and movies that you like there is one solution, buy that album or movie ticket. That is the best vote for a change of this teenage daydream pop that we are stuck in.

The Debts Of My Mind

I am a twenty-two year old American and I am in debt up to my eyeballs.

Like two thirds of America the thought of getting vast amounts of money now was too tempting for me. I was behind in medical bills and rent, I just needed a little breathing room. A BREAK FOR ONCE! So I applied for a credit card from my bank and to MY surprise was approved. All was to be well I could get caught up with my bills and save. A happy ending!

...Then reality happen. For two months I was feeling good and living comfortably for change. Then I started to notice my interest and monthly payments started to go up. Okay no big deal I'll just not use it and pay twice my payment to make a dent and I did. But as many would probably say SHIT will hit you in right in the face while you are trying to clean up the toilet.

I still see a doctor on a regular basis, still use my phone, still pay my unused gym membership that I can't get out of and I still paying the health insurance that won't help with my doctor bills. On top of that I am trying to paying twice the regular payment on my card.

Now the granddaddy of all worst possible things has happens I got not one but two speeding tickets back to back in a speed trap. This is the first time in my life where I can not honestly pay all my bills and usually on here I have a point but today I just needed to vent.

I thank you for listening.

Or I guess reading.

Don't get a credit card.

The average purchase with a card is 112% more than what it would be in cash.

Comic-Con...

CHECK!

I got to go and do something off my bucket list and that fabolus thing was the San Diego Comic Con. It was truly amazing, better than I could imagine. I got to meet a punch of great people, learn more about my craft, and get lots of free shit in the process!

My trip did not start out well as I had an unexpected stay in lovely Denver for a night. With only four hours of sleep I made my way to California. I lived in San Diego for small portion of my life. It's the only other residence that I have had besides the house I grew up in. So I have a special place in that thing that I have that closely resembles a heart. I got to eat at all my favorite Cali eateries such as: Jack in the Box , Tom's #23 , and In & Out.

My mother and I along with a selected few of others got to attend the coveted "Preview Night". I was not prepared for the shear amount of free comics I was about to receive. We went to the DC booth and we notice people making lines around the table and we decided we better hop in. We were glad we did as I received probably 20 issues of free comics along with posters, buttons , and something I had been reluctant to spend five dollars on, The Black Lantern Ring!

Also something very special happen to me on preview night, I got to meet the person who got to start reading comics again and inspired me to start writing comics, ROBERT KIRKMAN!!!

I also got meet comic greats the likes of John Layman, Rob Guillory, Nick Spencer and Cliff Rathburn. Cliff who I also got a cool Walking Dead print and an original piece of artwork.

The next four days were amazing filled with informative panels, writing seminars and Hollywood celebrities. I also got complete some collections of comics and obtained some rare ones.

The best part I think about the whole trip was sharing it with my Mother and by the end I think I even turned her into a comic book fan as she was reading Chew and the exclusive advance issue of Morning Glories which we were only of a selective 100 in the world to get.

Now I am stuck counting down the days until next year, which hopefully I will display my first comic!

I'm a Mac and You're a PC!

We get it by now everyone loves their respected brand but what I want to tackle today is the battle between the fans of these computer/operating systems. Why is there so much hatred towards Mac users and why do Mac users act like they are so above everyone else.

As a long time Microsoft fanboy I used to goof on Macheads and how they must love the smell of their own feces because it must better than a PC user's excrement. Then when I was recording music and my friend invited me over to use his Macbook to help record. To say the least I was blown away at the easy to use programs on it. Within the next couple of weeks I bought a Mac and I have been in love ever since.

Like most new Mac users I was eager to share this new godlike technology with the rest of the known universe. Quickly converting some of my friends and family to the light side of the computer world. I think many people mistake this for a kind of pompousness by Macheads and some of them it is probably the case. This is no need for the PCs to get upset and attack people for there love of a good product. The guy in the '92 Accord doesn't honk at a stoplight at a guy in a brand new BMW. Not all luxury car owners are arrogant pricks but some of them are thats life. Don't hate Apple and its products because some posh users hold their nose up at the coffee shop when you pull out your HP laptop while they are typing away, with ease, on their Macbook Pro.

And don't worry the PC isn't the odd man out so to all the users out their who feel like they are surrounded by showy fancy Macheads remember there is power in numbers as there are still 80 PC users to every Machead.

I just ain't one of them.
