Black Friday For Poor People

 People are going to go crazy pretty soon to get all that cheap stuff since the economy seems to be in the toilet. You won’t see me out there I’m sure… I’ll be in here watching TV and enjoying some diet coke.

Oh I may go look at some people
. See what’s going on out there as I will be up super late on Thursday… I’ll be attending late night meetings and burning candles at both ends.

What are some good deals out there? Anybody know what a poor ghetto blogger can do to have a decent Christmas with his girl and 6 kids?

So now you know why I have a “donation” button on this blog…As well as Google Absence ad’s that don’t pay anything… I just want to be able to get my kid’s a few stocking stuffers.. You dig?

Home Recording – Digital Recording…

I took yesterday off and didn’t post a single thing… I was actually working on some music that I had on my digital recorder… It didn’t come out as well as I would have liked… It’s funny how when you listen to tracks through headphones it sounds pretty good…Then you master it and export/burn it and it sounds completely different.

I used to love doing music but now with this digital stuff it is just getting so complex..But you do get a good home recording

Anyways… I’ll wrap that noisy crap up and then get back to writing some wacky stuff…

Joining the Army?

It’s amazing to me that the military can still get recruits to sign up for years of possible wartime employment… Perhaps with the failing economy and jobs disappearing that Uncle Sam has people willing to sign up…

Those cat’s don’t want this old man
… Heck, I’m to old to be drafted now… They want those young strong guys that are easy to “train” Wouldn’t you say?

Hope everybody is having a good weekend!

Addiction to War and Violence?

I wonder how it came about that the guy with the biggest gun “keeps the peace” To say that by having superior weapons and more fighting power keeps war to a minimum is strange to me.

Oh we LOVE violence
.. We always have. The Romans fighting these gladiators in the bloody games. It was a form of entertainment. Now, it’s all in TV, movies and music.  Are we addicted to violence and war? I’d say yes… Do we need to be? I dunno?

Is it absolutely necessary that we be the biggest kid on the block? That we are capable of kicking ALL your asses so, show some respect. Is it necessary that we have enough bombs that we can destroy the world many times over? Isn’t one worldwide fireball enough?

Maybe I should buy a gun myself… I’d certainly shoot somebody who came in trying to take my computer away… Heck, how could I keep writing these silly blogs if some guy “takes” my stuff? I ain’t going out like that….

Boom boom, bang bang, lie down your DEAD. –Addiction

Do Church’s Accept Sinners?

It was pointed out to me tonight that the difference between Church and Alcoholics Anonymous is that AA accepts “sinners” (alcoholics) and tells them to keep coming back.

I would think that is the church’s job… Maybe this is the reason that people feel they need to “clean up” before they go to church.

AA also provides a “program” to change… One step at a time. The church seems to fail at helping people overcome their sins… Of course there’s nothing wrong with doing both..
Keep on coming back!

Christian / Secular

Christian or Secular?

Wassup? Well there has always been a dividing line between secular and christian music..You can go into any christian record store and find bands that “sound like” their secular counterpart:

This is an example

So why not just go ahead and listen to the real thing?

Guess what?  That’s what I do.

Do ya hipsters think there should be Slayer records right along side Amy Grant records?

Sure, why not? Perhaps you can study some Slayer and it’s very intense description and analysis on hell.  And then not want to go there.

Beatle Spirituality

I have heard that “The Beatles had it right”

Wow, what a statement. It depends on the interpretation of the songs. Much music is very positive rather it’s “Christian” or not.

Why does there have to be this complete dividing line between Christian and secular pop culture?  This has always been quite a puzzle for me.

Christians need to learn to just keep it real. Know what I’m sayin, Dude?

But then how long can I sit around and listen to slayer talk about complete blood baths’ and angels of death?

Come on guys’ Lighten up will ya?
