Another Good Video- "Burn"

I've been a real fan of some of these Canadian bands lately, like Nu Sensae and White Lung. Eating Out has members from both of those bands. What I really like about this video is how it has a throwback feel to what music videos were like in the 90s, and yet it still has a contemporary youthful...thing about it. Drummer, Daniel Pitout, say that 90's VH1 videos, " used to feel more like movies or stories [and are] really nostalgic and beautiful, which I never see much of anymore”. I also really like the high school stereotypes that were incorporated into this and party scenes are always good. 

They Come To Get Us

I first heard this song by The Death Set when I watched the most recent addition to anthology/first person horror movies, V/H/S (I highly recommend it). It was the perfect ending note for this movie, because after being exposed to tons of gruesome imagery you actually kinda felt up-beat when it was all over. The video itself is also really cool. It's filled with tons of chaotic pop-culture icons and does a good job of setting the mood for a good "get amped" type of sound. I honestly watch this video whenever I feel like I'm falling asleep at work and then I wake up right away. Enjoy.

      

So I Got A Job

Yep, for almost a week now I have become a productive member of working society. I got a position as a sales planner at a digital advertising firm. It's not exactly what I was looking to get into (seriously who thought I'd be qualified for sales?) but its a job. At least now I'll be making some cash so I can fund some more projects and shenanigans. Maybe I'll save up enough to move the fuck out of my boring ass hometown and get into some real cool shit. Anyway, there should be some good posts to be expected in the near future, but in the mean time check out me and my friends other blog www.dumbassia-wreckage.blogspot.com. Its got some good stuff on it. I promise.  

     

Some Art I Made

These were two paintings I did about a month ago before my graduation. My teacher, who is a bit eccentric, actually made a poster print out of one of them for herself. Kinda creepy. I felt like posting this now, because I'm at that very depressing point in my life where I'm unemployed and am not sure how much longer I'm going to be able to do this kind of stuff.

In happier news, I won tickets to the Orion Music Festival in Atlantic City off a radio giveaway the other day. This means I get to see bands like Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies, Fucked Up, and Modest Mouse...for free. Thanks WSOU. You guys suck mostly, but sometimes you're okay.   

One Day I Will Live Like This

Real World Syndrome

Real World Syndrome or RWS is the dread that is experienced by soon to be college graduates, who have absolutely no idea what they are doing with their lives. I myself am experiencing RWS and I feel like this is a major characteristic of my generation. Most of my friends have no idea what they're doing after school and if they do it's probably some entry level job that they have no intention of staying at anyways. I feel like our parent's generation had this belief that if you went to college you were basically guaranteed a spot in our work force. Fast forward to now and I can't even get a job at McDonald's. I'm not saying that going to school isn't important, but it's definitely lost some value.

Personally, my biggest fear is that I'm going to get a job that I don't enjoy just to get by and end then up staying there until I'm dead. Or even worse...I do the lame job thing until I can finally get the cool job, but I end up being too old to enjoy the cool aspects of it. So here I am, trying to enjoy every second of what I am told are supposed to be the best years of my life. I haven't even made a proper resume yet. My only question is,why do we do this to ourselves?



(If you don't know what movie this is, get off this website.)



Why does our culture tell you that as soon as college is over the fun part of you is dead. As if when graduation comes your life is either doomed to be stuck in a cubicle from 9-5 or your an unproductive member of society. I have to believe that somewhere out there, there is a job that wants my talents and will pay me to have fun as well. This could also be a pipe dream of mine, but an art major can only hope for the best and expect the worst.That being said, if anybody has heard of such a job please contact me as soon as possible.
