friday


today i will be blogging about a two sided issue. Space exploration! I do have to admit that I enjoyed astronomy very much in high school, however I am against it. three reasons why.

1) money, we spend a lot of money form the building of the spacecraft to the technology we have to have to use it. to me this is pointless dollars down the drain.we need to fix our economy and worry about our own situation before we spend billions for an activity that is very minimal.

2)false dreams little kids dream of becoming astronauts but really how can this happen. in certain cases it does but overall no. becoming the very first country to do anything for instance the first country to the moon now it has become a competition that in the long run has no significance. Also the beings on other planets we are always trying to find and guess what still nothing but another false dream.

3)God, has this place the way he wants it if we were supposed to be in space don't you think that he would have made it a little easier. I don't think a sane God would have people killed trying to do something. I have no Questions about what is beyond our world. I worry about the things that are tangible here in front of us.

In my opinion we need to take a step back and think for a second of A what is this accomplishing and the cost to do it. and B are we even supposed to be doing this.

humpday poem

Lying on the beach beer in your hand
enjoying the nice breeze in you hair
while your feet feel the hot soft sand
something feels wrong in the air

it feels so nice this 70 degrees
not a thing on your mind
but the gentle breeze
you realize that your where to blind

here comes the storm
and you are lying in the middle of the beach
the wind and rain begin to swarm
and all the water begins to breech

now all you can do is run
looking back at what was
you had all your fun
and exposed are all your flaws

Now machine

inspired by Tilting at Windmills "the humble author" I have decided to create my one "time machine" as he calls it but with a twist the new age music. I'm going to call it the now machine.A lot of the music out there today sucks. me being bluntly honest the rap is a disgrace, and a lot of rock is becoming the same way. the artist I'm going to put on here have catchy lyrics and a gutiar solo.

Alternative music has kind of taken a backseat to rap and the Mexicans here in Fort Wayne. I have found this website called www.purevolume.com were they play alternative bands and they have there own chart. these artist will never compare to the beatles, beachboys, elvis, ect. but this is my favorite genre of music. each monday i wll do a band spolight followed by my top ten and purevolumes top ten.

first lets start with my pick for band of the week Move Out West!They are relativley new to the scene they have relased songs and are working on their very first album.

Making the Move Out West is a staple statement of the American Dream, this glamor of the west coast has not failed to entice the 4 guys who have rightfully titled their band "Move Out West". The group began developing their sound around the music they had all individually grew up on, enlisting the help of iconic Ace Enders of the now defunct "The Early November" to help produce their early style. With members of multiple previous touring bands, Move Out West began a full time touring and recording schedule to personify their DIY attitude. In their first year the band has debuted 9 released songs for free download, recorded their 5-song debut EP in Atlanta, GA w/ Zack and Kenneth (All Time Low, Cartel, Mayday Parade) and toured an extensive portion of the United States, all of which have been self-funded. Their debut EP, titled "On The Run", will be available April 12th internationally via iTunes. purevolumes bio not mine!

you can only check these guys out on purevolume.com on of my favs is turn around. give them a listen it's worth it.

school or no school?


OK I was at work and doing the same damn thing for ten hours you tend to let your mind of the leash. by this I mean letting your mind wander wherever it wants. In my "wandering" I was thinking about school why well on the news they were talking about snow make up days. like extending graduation and the school year and even possibly Saturdays school. First I think man when I was in high school there is no way I would be at school on Saturday not a chance. Second thought when I was in school they had these things called built in snow days. Because guess what in Indiana it snows four months out of the year maybe more.

Now the deep stuff you ready? I got thinking back to my days at Hoagland Elementary, and thinking about it now that was like a Nazi school (not that they killed Jews)for instance we had to walk on the right side of the hall we could not talk in the hall , they counted us going in and out of class rooms in gym we HAD TO TAKE SHOWERS!
the only places I know that do that are PRISON and the MILITARY!

Then I got thinking deeper(see the smoke) our whole education method is screwed up we are in a society that does not create geneses any more our educational system is built for creating workers a person that will do what she or he is told.we don't have creative thinking in this country what so ever.

now I'm not saying we are raising dummies no. but i have noticed some really dumb people. think about this now that I'm out of school i don't work with everyone my age I don't go on vacations with everyone my one age. At school your age and your grade are together ( well until college) but after fifteen years of being carved into a "worker" that is what we end up doing. now for some of us who overcome this cool great. as for me I haven't i became somebodies yes man and it sucks. I strongly recommend home schooling your child may be hard yes but think of the good of you and your child .
