business is busy
There's alot going on. I would like to comment on something, and I'll get to that, but in the meantime a few things to note.

I hate the new website. Its boring poorly organized and makes me want to hurl. I need to change it again, hopefully with the help of someone who has a better eye for design than I do (Ahem...wonderful girlfriend...ahem).

I want to change the new website also because I have been re-learning the ways of the web due to a possible business venture I may be embarking on. So I've been playing with divs and classes and flash (no not in a dirty way) and I'm quite impressed on how far things have gotten. How easy it is to make a fully interactive website. Oh yes, there are good things to come.

Now to the complaints! Real World! Fucking Real World! I have to admit, as is the usual case, I was forced to expose my eyes to Season 804 of the same thing that has existed for too long. Yes, there is some pleasure in watching it with others who agree with its stupidity and pure lack of moral dignity. But I can never sit there and watch it for just that reason. There were just too many times I wanted to jump up and smash the screen of the TV due to the complete stupidty and lack of anything intelligent the "cast members" did. And oh the cast members...we have the Paris Hilton bimbo, the ethnic chick, the different emo chick, the frat boy asshole, the kinder frat boy asshole, and the black guy. I think there are no gays this time because gay isn't popular anymore. Can you actually believe those words exist? Gay went from being taboo to popular within a year all because MTV shoved it into the ground. There really isn't much more to say than this. And while the show maintains its the "Real World" how come their lives don't reflect ours...in the real world. They don't go to work everyday, they don't have bills to pay. They drink every night, are given some miserable project that will fail anyway, and fuck everything that moves. And if you met someone who had a camera following them around, wouldn't you do anything to be on the show? Oh and if it were so real, there wouldn't be a pool in my living room. The show without a doubt is as far from real as humanly possible.

I've said it before, I really find it annoying to comment on something more than once, but MTV makes it so easy. We all get angry at video game makers and tv shows for creating content that is offensive to the younger generation because nudity is involved. In doing so we've created this imaginary line that says only if a tit pops out then it can be considered indecent. Did it ever dawn on anyone that children learn more from example than anything else? So if they see a naked body on TV just there, then they aren't going to be hurt. If they see idiots drinking, and kissing, and acting without responsibility they are more apt to follow suit. Indecency goes far deeper than nudity and the country just doesn't understand that. MTV just doesn't care.

QUICK NOTE: You know you're in love when your girlfriend tells you, "Quick, go wash my crotch off your hands; we're going out to dinner with my parents."

you can read pazzesco on the internet
You already know my severe distaste for TV news. CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Local Anything, and especially the weather men that riddle the airwaves with bullshit; they're all overpaid talking heads. But my hate for the news doesn't stop at the people you actually see, oh no. It thrusts onwards into the behind the scenes realm as well. How bout this:
Take a good look. Do you see what I'm talking about? I look at the picture and I wonder to myself, "What could those military people be doing? Baking? Having a party? Swimming? Oh wait, good thing it says 'Troops Launch Military Operation' cause I would have been lost without it being so explicit. Is that what troops do? How silly of me."

That's right folks, apparently we are so stupid that CNN thinks we need to be told mundane facts; that we can't easily put two and two together. They do this for everything. My personal favorite was always "Pope advocates peace" while Pope John II was speaking. Do I really expect my fucking pope to advocate anything but peace? What more, he's been doing that for 20 fucking years. If you don't know that by know then you don't own a TV to begin with and any education CNN is trying to give is a lost cause anyway. And you can try to argue that its for the people who have the sound off, but if they really wanted to know the news and not have to listen to it, they could just friggin read. Plain and simple, CNN thinks you're a fucking idiot so they cram the same thing down your throat for 24 hours: unimportant bullshit.

QUICK NOTE: Shark attacks happen every summer. They are nothing new. Just because the media is a bunch of violence whores, and they happen to be reporting them more frequently, everyone is freaking out. Listen: sharks are not trying to eat people any more than they've wanted to in the past. I'm just surprised Staten Island hasn't put an article in the paper linking Osama Bin Laden with the shark attacks. Cause you know everything that happens in Staten Island is related to terrorist activities. Well, that or Vito fossil in a positive way. NEWS FLASH! VITO FOSSELLA KILLS TERRORIST SHARK! WHOLE ISLAND LICKS HIS BALLS!

waste of my time
If you think I'm just someone who complains all the time, why are you still reading? You obviously know enough about this place to make a judgment on what you see, and if you had a serious problem with it, its sheer magnitude would have already forced you to turn away from that which you found repulsing. But it didn't. So read on oh dissenter. And here's a gatuitous "Fuck You" for judging me.

There are small, yet unrealistic hopes inside of me that one day the world will wake up to the fact that popular culture is a complete waste of time. That there is not one redeeming quality about Hollywood, mainstream music, or anything that falls under the "What's Hot" listing. Why does it bother me so much? Why do I feel it necessary to become so adamant about these things? Some people think it's jealousy. My sister thinks I don't like Oprah because she is a woman with a lot of money. If I had a problem with woman having money, I would have already left the planet because there are tons of them; and there's nothing wrong with that. I don't like Oprah because she exploits the gullibility of the average person. She shoves filth in their brains and they listen to it because she's "The Oprah." Just because she has alot of money doesn't make everything she does and says, fucking gold plated diamond studded wisdom.

Other's think I just like to complain for attention. Umm, there are better ways to get attention: Complaining is never one of them. There is nothing that infuriates me more than someone who complains and then never does anything about the situation. If it really bothers you that much, DO SOMETHING!

In the end, I think I've just learned not to waste time on things that give no value. By value I do not mean monetary, but personal value. I'll watch something if it makes me laugh, listen to music that makes me feel, date a girl who makes me a better person, talk to people who provide intelligent conversation, and do stupid things because I find it interesting. Isn't that the whole point of life? To enjoy all the things that make you feel like you? To continue experiencing those things to enhance and grow in who you are? Why would I even bother then to partake in something that makes me angry and annoyed? Maybe I find these things so offensive because they really do have no value whatsoever? And finally, being able to write about them allows me to express who I've grown to be by doing the things that have value to me. Makes alot of sense doesn't it?

So I'll always press on being myself; continuously breaking down and analyzing all things useless to the world. Like MTV's The 70's House. I had the glory of passing by this shitstorm of a show, channel surfing today. Of course the premise is taking more stupid teenagers and twixters, who have nothing better to do then be on a MTV show, putting them in a 70's house, and seeing how long the spoiled yuppies can last without their cell phones and computers. Yeah, I want my children to look at these assholes and be like "I want to be them when I grow up." MTV created and makes money off the idea that if you want to be successful in this world, being on TV and doing unethical and stupid things is the quick easy way to go. If celebrity's are praised for being degenerates, then why not make that your life's goal? Worse part is, they know half the population will swallow this filth. There's a reason why MTV doesn't have a show called "The I got an education and worked my ass off instead of lowering my standards to make money House."

QUICK NOTE: Of course after the events in London, the Staten Island Advance, intellectual periodical that it is, headlines "The new 9/11. 7/7!" Fucking idiots. I don't think this island will ever wake up to the fact that 9/11 meant just as much or more to other New Yorkers, and they don't taint their entire opinion of world events with a stigma almost 5 years old.

the day my mother squeezed me out of her vagina
You're looking at the new site. I know it's not much to look at, but I'm still working on tidying it up. My schedule seems to get busier and busier, even though I'm not adding anything to it. Amidst the traffic I get stuck in, the work that keeps piling up, the workouts, and the doing of nothing, trying to sit and code becomes a low priority. Actually the first day I put this up, I realized the formatting in Internet Explorer was completely off, and Firefox displayed it without hesitation. I thought the browser wars were over and I didn't have to code individually once again like in the days of NETSCAPE VS INTERNET EXPLORER. Those were the days, when men were men, and battles were bloody and conquestual.

Things I feel like saying
The Foo Fighters must be considered one of the best bands of all time. Not only have they been around for years, their music is good; something considerably lacking from today's new music. Their new CD, In Your Honor is close to being on my purchase list. If I did buy it this would be the 4th or 5th actual CD I've paid for. Oh and perhaps one of my favoritest videos of all time is the one for Learn to Fly. Good stuff.

I'm on a pie fix again. I've already baked one at Erika's house, and I'll be baking another one this weekend. I really don't know what the novelty is with pies and me, but I enjoy their assembly and ingestion. Maybe it's because of that wicked pie girl?

Why do Nissan's always look so shiny? Seriously, here's a little homework for you. Look at every car on the road, and then look at a newer Nissan. I swear to God they will always look more shiny than anything else around them. Whether their clean or dirty, they still have this sparkle about them. If anyone knows the answer to this, please inform me.

QUICK NOTE: The world needs to get a fucking clue and realize that the life of celebrities do not directly impact them, and vice versa. Just because you are angry at Brad Pitt (angry being used very loosely here due to the fact that YOU haven't met Brad Pitt, and thus couldn't actually be angry AT him) for leaving Jennifer Aniston (who needs a bra that doesn't show her nipples 24/7) for Angelina Jolie (comments later) and you choose not see his movie, has no direct effect on him AT ALL! He doesn't fucking care whether you saw his movie or not because 5 million other idiots did. That's like someone choosing not to drink or eat something just because they want to make a point against some company; the company doesn't know about you and probably has already found 100 new customers in your place. Oh, and Angelina Jolie: she can beat the shit out of me and fuck me all at the same time for all I care. I like strong women...in fact I date one...and I have the bruises to prove it.
