I love and live pop culture and can expend my so-called creativity by picking up on a past time I've long since forgotten; writing. May it be by making top ten lists of really hot men, writing about extinct pop culture phenomenons (i.e. MASH and slap bracelets), giving updates and recaps for professional and collegiate sports, or simply providing book/movie/music reviews, I'm your one stop (pop culture) shop for all that is entertainment.
Why do holier-than-thou tween morons feel the need to open their yappers about anyone? Especially when this particular anyone is one of the hottest new actors in the scene. I don't even have to go into detail about Robert Pattinson because he is incredible. And not just for the reasons Miley Cyrus thinks:
"I'm not a huge Rob Pattinson fan. Girls aren't really in love with Rob; they're in love with [his Twilight character] Edward."
First and foremost- I love Rob. And Edward. The fact that he is Rob and he plays Edward is simply coincidental. Secondly- you're a no-talent slut with a whorish mouth. Don't get mad because RPattz and the Twilight Saga has taken attention away from your terrible show, your whacktastic movies, and your even shittier albums. Oh, or are you losing fans because their parents think you're a terrible role model and don't want their children turning into someone like you? I presume it's the latter.
It's baseball season! Does that signify a pop culture shop sabbatical no more? My sources point to yes...
I just had to pay homage to America's past-time with awesome nineties photos of Donnie Baseball and Chris Sabo
...But I guess we will have to see, as the Yankees and Reds take the field today, both teams with talented rotations and lineups; one with many more expectations and even more to lose if their season isn't a successful one. The anticipation has built to an all-time high throughout the Yankees' extremely eventful and productive off-season. With CC Sabathia and AJ Burnett beefing up [let's hope this time that doesn't mean literally] the Bombers' already-stellar rotation [joining Wang, Pettite and Chamberlain], this could finally be the year they've been looking for since their last title in 2000. And I don't even need to get started on the line-up [with or without ARod, it's unreal]. This season is going to be one for the books. I guess when you're talking about the Yanks, what year isn't?
The hype around the Reds this year should be great for the city, even though year in and year out Cincy crawls with die-hards despite god-awful records. Their young, carefree players won't be playing under much pressure, and should provide for great entertainment at Great American Ballpark. It would be nice if they get to make a postseason appearance. I mean, it's been about 15 years anyway.
i love adverbs. what could be better than a modifier of a verb; where all the action happens around here.
definitely. absolutely. specifically. especially. i even love making them up (standardly). instead of simply (see?) throwing a boring "yes" as an answer to a question, embellish your dialog with an adverb
I suppose my being discouraged from the [unsuccessful] search for a full-time job directly reflects my feeling unmotivated in everyday life, thus affecting my once-persistent need to blog. That was a very complex sentence, which I suppose also reflects the jumble into which my brain has spiraled.
It's been over a year (and over, I'm sure, hundreds of applications/sent résumés; I haven't kept track) since I graduated college. Still, no bites for a full-time job. That is sure to make a huge blow to my ego and confidence as a "designer." I've started applying for glorified secretarial, clerical and even telephone operator positions (not that those are necessarily bad, but I didn't go to a four-year university for graphic design to not pursue relevant endeavors!), all to no avail. (And yes, I look around the entire country).
I've considered grad school (for either creative writing or social work; hey, I need options here), but my current, massive amount of debt from undergrad hinders that decision greatly, and (gasp) learning web design. Somewhere along the lines and the growth of the industry (perhaps just the boom of the world wide web?), employers have become deluded into thinking that graphic designers need to know web and web designers need to be trained and qualified in graphic design. They are two different professions and each should not be expected to know and excel in the other. But hell, it looks as though at this point, I need to learn it if I ever want to get a job.
Marina & the Diamonds (she is Marina and we are the diamonds) is amazing. No, really. Amazing. Her single, "Obsessions" won't be released until February (pre-order at www.neongoldrecords.com), but I've attached two videos since they are hard to find online: one of the aforementioned and another one of her songs, "Mowgli's Road."
