shameless self-absorpsion

I'm very interested in music (finding new, keeping up with favorites, etc.). In this day and age, the best way to do that is myspace.com. Most bands don't even have websites anymore because it costs money to build and maintain them so why not use (or abuse) a free networking site? Well that's fine, but what irritates me is that bands will make an elaborate layout with 20 ways to buy their music and merch scattered amongst youtube videos of them, 'want us to play your town?' banners and pictures of their prepubesent fan base showing their "love" for them. When I see this it makes me not want to look at their myspace page, much less listen to thier music. I understand it is hard to "make it" in this industry anymore but the ones who are taking these desperate and shameless measures are showing that their intentions are merely to make money off of their music which isn't even art anymore. It's more of a business and that just doesn't sit well with me. I understand you're trying to reach your target audience consisting of 12-16 year olds whos parents are coughing up the dough for concert tickets, lunch boxes and wrist bands. Well here's an idea... write good music and play good shows with other good bands. You will get recognized. If you're really an artist you will be acknowledged eventually for your creativity and originality instead of "whoring" yourself out. To me that's what it is, sorry, but how much of a career does a hot prostitute really have? You start out blowing some old dudes then you take the one-on-ones and are making a decent living, then move on to anal, then threesomes and are living the life. 5 years later youre a heroin addict begging to suck someone off for $10. That's the career these bands are setting themselves up for. Maybe five years of "getting laid and paid" followed by a major narcotic addiction and nobody wanting you.

Give a dog a bone.

Today is Wednesday and I'm in a pretty good mood. And good moods make me wanna talk about things I like. So here's my top 10 (in no particular order).
1.) The fall - There's pretty much no better time of the year in Ohio. It's not too hot, not too cold. Most shows worth seeing come during the fall. You can hang outside before being cooped up in the house all winter long. Finally, they start selling Christmas Ale in November.
2.) Breasts - They've always fascinated me since I was a child, and they never run out of variety.
3.) Cheap alcohol - It serves the same purpose as expensive alcohol, and after a few drinks you don't notice the difference. I hate it when someone is "too good" for a certain beverage. You may only refuse if you know you will vomit profusely because there hasn't been recuperation time since the last time you decided to binge drink the aforementioned substance.
4.) Swenson's - Best fast food, hands down.
5.) Friends - Always good for a laugh weather its at your expense or theirs.
6.) Toddlers - Ah, what a great stage to be a human. They are at the age where all conversations can be made humorous and don't know enough to argue with you. If kids stayed that age forever I might consider having more.
7.) Girl fights - They crack me up, it's kind of like watching a retard fight...I mean "handicapped person" fight (sorry) but there's just a better chance you will see way more girl fights and won't feel as bad for laughing.
8.) Finding a new band - There's just something special about the feeling I get when I hear a band for the first time that sounds like nothing I've heard before and makes me want to cum in my pants.
9.) youtube - I could be entertained for hours on end!
10.) Free stuff - come on who doesn't? Unless it's an std or a black eye or a roofied drink, it's free so why not enjoy? Free songs, free food, free furniture, free sex (without stds), and free cars are all things to make anyone a happy camper amirite?

I jack off to good times!
