Resurrection
I'm resurrecting my dead blog experiment as time allows.

My ears! Sue Apple!
The Wall Street Journal Tech News Briefing brought up the fact that the new iPod updater has institutes a volume control function that allows users to set the maximum volume on the iPod. Apparently this is a result of a class-action lawsuit (aren't they the best kind?) against Apple for selling a product to willing consumers that has a volume control that has the possibility of being turned up to uncomfortable levels. Says Dr. Mark Levine, ear nose and throat specialist: "There's not that self-motivated potential to turn [the iPod] down, because as loud as you make it the sounds are still sounding excellent."
Looking past the semantic garble, it's easy to see that he wants to punish the company for making a good product. Because the sound retains quality when it's being turned up, it fails to "motivate" people to turn it back down. Hm. . . I'm going to beat myself senseless by smashing my head with a hammer. Black & Decker fails to motivate me to not smash my head with a hammer properly.

Well, the doctor's got a point. But, since when has anyone actually listened to a doctor? If iPod users wish to blow out their eardrums, let them. It is on no part the fault of the manufacturer. There are safety instructions that come with each iPod. So it is the fault of the consumer who decides to put the volume up so loud they can't hear a train coming from behind them...

Shut Up About Seinfeld!
For the love of God! Shut up about Seinfeld!
I think that I have exhibited great patience with humanity in regards to that damn show. But when I see the next person who mentions that the way I stubbed my toe on my way to the water fountain reminds them of George stubbing his toe in episode B27-F14A, I’m going to skin them alive and bleed them dry.
Dark tales circulate in hushed whispers of a time, pre-Seinfeld, when mediocrity was not enough to incite raving fits of uproarious laughter in deranged motomorons. What was funny before the despotic kitchen owner refused Jerry’s order for soup? Nothing. The world was a dismal abyss of loathing and despair. Ask anyone. They’ll tell you. For how can the comic genius of Rodney Dangerfield and Lenny Bruce compare to the outrageous behavior of people who eat candy bars with knives and forks?
Reason and logic have failed. Pleading for an end to the horror has not worked. So today I make a bigger commitment. My New Year’s resolution (albeit a couple months late) is this: every time somebody mentions George or Kramer or Jerry or Elaine walking down the street in a hilarious fashion, or answering the phone in a bizarre way, I will disembowel them with a sprig of onion and feast upon the succulent contents of their cranium. Right there on the street. That way I can enjoy squeezing Seinfeld’s remaining vestiges from my bowels later that night. The next time somebody turns on a rerun of Seinfeld, I will shatter the television over their head and thrash them in such a way that they will be able to fit into a blender.
So please kids; let it die. Because every time you recite another tired Seinfeld joke, Satan devours another infant.

Hahaha...I agree despite the fact I do love Seinfeld. I cannot fucking stand people constantly qouting stale and unfunny jokes during normal conversation either. Did I mention I had a layover in Dallas on my magic carpet? I was on my way to learn how to grow giant corn, when a man came out of his house and said, "I"LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"
Although I recognize the layover in Dallas part, the "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" doesn't ring a bell. I'll also be quick to point out that I barely ever bring up the layover in Dallas, but I'm always quick to finish it.

Zombie Riot Cartoons

I spent all day studying for a math test that I have tomorrow, and I'm not even done. Integration is a bitch.
Anyway, I changed the comments around so that they should appear on the main page instead of that annoying web page. I also changed the title graphic. I figured I'd point out these obvious changes in case you are blind or severely stupid.
For the last couple of weeks I've sat back and watched the world go utterly insane. Apparently twelve cartoons are enough to incite riots and the destruction of bastions of democracy all across the world. It's pretty amazing how much power these simple cartoons have over the Muslim population of the world. In response I drew a cartoon of me hitting a zombie with a fire axe. Hopefully, this cartoon will either directly cause the unmitigated zombification of the modern world, or incite the pro-zombie factions world over to revolt and destroy civilization. There's really no good reason to decimate the planet, I'm just bored.

Zombies will take over the world eventually...I have been rethinking my stance on my survival statistics during a zombie outbreak...I realize now that I am better equipped to deal with such a crisis than I originally gave myself credit for. I am very good at dealing with a crisis under extreme pressure, as I discovered long ago with my father nearly dying and requiring us to keep him awake unti lthe ambulance got to him, and the events of new years 05' I kept my cool fairly well...Plus all of my weapons and zombie knowledge would come in handy too I suppose.
Oh yeah, New Years '05. I must admit that I flew into a panic rather quickly. I came to my senses eventually, though.

Your Escorts to Hell

I figure I'd start my first post with my first attempt at artwork in years. It's a sketch of the Hell Guardians the Reel Splatter's aborted zombie movie Gut Rot Pie! The actual sketch looks much better, I swear.
If you're reading my blog, I assume that you have already seen Reel Splatter Productions and all of their awesome movies. If not, go check it out already!
