You're Generally Indie. There's nothing wrong with
this. You like music all over the map and
aren't adversed to listening to some Top 40
here and there. You just know to comment that
The Neptunes are the best producers around
right now. You don't feel the need to debate
constantly with other music geeks, because you
know that Pavement were the best band of the
90s.
You Know Yer Indie. Let's Sub-Categorize.

Hi everyone,
If you have visited my site recently, you've noticed a new link on the right hand side that says
do yourself the favor. I created it to provide a link to sites which feature online
media content, ie movie trailers, animations, etc... This week I've featured Spider-Man 2
trailer, and now I'll present one of the most unique trailers I have ever seen. Don't know
much about the movie, but that's not the point. The trailer rocks. Some scenes
looks like a propaganda poster from the 30's come to life. Enjoy.
P.S. Don't forget to let me know if you come across good online media content.
I had to put this quiz up. I makes me look so good. :>
Honor: You are an honorable person who is firm with
his/her beliefs and treats others as you are
treated. People would consider you humble at
times and very respectful, and someone to
definitely respect back.

Just minutes ago I received a phone call that I've been waiting for. I was offered a position at a company called VMS. The company is a media monitoring service that focuses on news and advertising. They cover the top 50 television markets in the country. By cover, I mean they record the top stations 24/7/365 in those top 50 markets. Clients then request VMS to send them news stories/editorials/advertisements pertaining to their product. For example, if there is an ebola outbreak at a Miami Burger King, BK HQ would request a copy of all news broadcasts in Miami relating to the outbreaks. BK now knows the media exposure and can act appropriately in whatever way they see fit. My position is editor/P.A.. I'll be in charge of the video library, making sure all satellite feeds are being received and recorded. I will also be editing the videos requested by clients. I'll be starting on a part-time basis of 30hr a week, and by February 2nd VMS and I will decide if we are right for each other. I'm very excited, and optimistic things will work out. There is great opportunity to move upward within the company, and I could also move to any market I desire, if a position is available. Hopefully this will be the start of good things to come.

Breaking News has just hit the AP wire.......
The Saddam US coalition forces caught is not the real Saddam. The picture below is of one of Saddam's clones. As many of you may, or may not know, Saddam cloned himself in order to confuse the filthy Zionists, and Americans trying to overthrow him. With help from the French and Russians he was able to duplicate himself to keep his true self save. Got it?
Failure, after failure, concerning the where abouts of the real Saddam has gotten US forces. As a result US forces have called in the big guns to find Saddam.
The Papperazzi
Within minutes the Papperazzi have honed in on the real Saddams location and have published the following two pictures. The first photo being his current location. The next being the most recent photo capturing a full facial shot.

You are Professor X!
You are a very effective teacher, and you are very
committed to those who learn from you. You put
your all into everything you do, to some extent
because you fear failure more than anything
else. You are always seeking self-improvement,
even in areas where there is nothing you can do
to improve.

I was looking through the paper and found an interesting ad. All it said wasLooking for Black and White photos of all kinds I figured, I'd see if the person would be interested in my prints. Maybe I could sell a couple.
(For those of you who don't know, I love photography and have a small collection of 8x10 B&W prints I affectionately call my portfolio. The love has always been there, but the money for this expensive hobby has not. Not to mention finding darkrooms to work in. It wasn't a problem while going to Kean cause I took my photo classes their, and I knew the teachers. They let me come and go as I please. NJCU is a different story. Not only was it significantly harder to gain access to the darkrooms, the projects I had to work on for my major were very time consuming. Now that I'm out of school I'd let to get back in the game.)
So the lady from the ad calls back, and the story begins. Turns out she owns an art gallery here in Miami, and she wanted me to bring in my portfolio. Some how through our conversation on the phone she got the impression that I was an artist. I mean, I am an artist to a degree, but she thought I was a real artist, not someone who's trying to get back into photography as art. The second I hung up the phone the anxiety began. I dug up my prints that were stored away and dusted off my portfolio ready for this Monday meeting. I show up, and I kid you not, the first thing she says is "So your the artist." I almost tipped over from the lump in my throat when she said that. So I sat down, and she began to review my photos. The old familiar feelings came back: clamy hand, rush of blood. I felt like I was in school again getting my work reviewed. She told me I had some good stuff in the portfolio, and to keep on taking photos. She wasn't very specific which leads me to think she was blowing hot air up my ass, and the portfolio sucked. While she was looking at it all she said were things like "Thats good, Nice, I like that one" She didn't get into any specifics about the photos. Now I have doubts about the quality of the work. But whats worse is that I didn't ask specific questions while she did the review. I could have had the answers already, but like always I left and in the car, thought about questions I should have asked. On the other hand though, the gallery didn't feature any photos in my style, and maybe thats not what she was looking for. Her gallery was mostly full of photos like: close up of flowers, canyons, furniture, vase on table etc.. Nice stuff, but not my style. I'll definitely like to shoot landscapes, but furniture, fruit plate on table, bed in corner, are not my cup of tea. My stuff is mostly urban with some landscape, and a splash of the strange. So now the dilemma is, does my stuff suck or is it just not whats she's looking for. I'll probably never know, cause I'll most likely never ask. So rather then let the feelings of anxiety over take me, I am going to put it to good use. I'm gonna take this experience and use it as motivation to further grow as an artist. Now all I need is a darkroom and some money for prints.
After going through the many email and guestbook entries the following are the best.

Oh wait, that's no movie! That's real life!!! ;-) Submitted by Guy LeCharles Gonzalez
2. Whatever that movie is where the long-haired hot chick is feeding grapes to the hot guy in the loin cloth..... I want Kucinich as the guy eating the grapes and me feeding them to him. I have a sick crush on him that makes sense to no one but me. Submitted by Name withheld for obvious reasons.
1. I can see Joe Lieberman in a remake of Different Strokes, playing Mr Drummond and bouncing a look-a-like of Gary Coleman on his knee. Then again. I think the real Gary Coleman is free, now that he didn't win the governors office. Submitted by Cal Gonzalez
The race for first place was tighter then I expected, but Cal won outright. He gets bonus points for incorporating Gary Coleman, and the thought of Kucinich in a loin cloth really disturbs me.
As the winner, Cal receives free of charge a one year electronic subscription to d generation.
