So two and a half weeks ago, I somehow found enough anger, frustration and self esteem within myself to realise that the job I've held for 7 years and hated for 6 1/2 was not keeping me on life support so to speak and that it was downright ridiculous to continue working there.

Anyway, with an entire decade behind us, it really is time to reflect upon a truly encapsulated era. The 80's were about excess, the 90's about change and so I guess the 2000's were about instant gratification?

He was 29. I wasn't a crazy fan of his music, but I really liked his music and saw him play Riotfest a couple of years ago during a day long drinking session and remember (vaguely) being really impressed by his set, and hours later saw him on the street and tried to bum a ride from him.

We can really feel driven toward any type of cause, no matter how strongly we feel about it, but if one minor aspect of it is taken away, we can loose all interest in it in the blink of an eye.

Do they think they taste good, because they don't. Case in point; six and a half years ago when Uncle Sam said I was old enough drink legal, I flew home from school for a weekend for one reason and one reason only: so my friend Tim Lowery could take me out drinking.

Sorry. I've been more apt to writing blogs on my Myspace page if you’re ever really jonesing for some bitter sarcasm from someone who obviously watches a lot of television. Just search for my profile under Mogan.

The VMA’s (because dumbing everything down makes consumption easier) have in past years at least served some sort of amusement for those like myself who obtain a fair amount of amusement from watching morons attempting to be talented, and from moganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05558894783219368381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714689.post-1094492222084123022004-09-06T10:35:00.000-07:002004-09-06T10:37:02.086-07:00That’s right bitches! I’m back, and like Flava Flav wearing an alarm clock of himself around his neck I’m back to show y’all what time it is. During my hiatus, mediocrity has continued to reign over our youth and society and it became so obvious that I figured my own analysis of it would be simply redundant.

I guess not alot of stupid music industry stuff is surprising me as of late, but here's a couple of blurbs.

I was going to try to bust it out in December but I’m lazy and the only reason I’m getting to this now is because I’ve done nothing this weekend besides trying to recuperate from a mysterious illness I’m suffering from that’ll probably be gone by the time I have to go tomoganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05558894783219368381noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3714689.post-1070865385967381722003-12-07T22:33:00.000-08:002008-01-23T06:24:18.752-08:00Being that I haven't updated in a while and that I just realized that I don't need some mad epiphany to strike my brain like a light bulb over my head to post an update, I decided to take a queue form Jabez Kemble and just post what I’ve been up to.

Not too bad a job. I’ve had better, but I’ve had worse. However my college isn’t going to much use but at least the shit-work will gain me more focus than watching TV all the time did.

The 9th time I'd seen them since 1996 and they were as great as always. I was still hoping to hear more old stuff but they'll be back again. They're touring machines.

Back in the day, if you didn’t like someone or didn’t want to talk to them, you’d tell them so. If they were a jerk you’d let them know and you’d let them know why.

All and all a decent film. It was no E.T. or Goodfellas, but I saw gore and boobs I came to expect, so I got my money’s worth.

You know, the time when bands were more known for what they were wearing than for the music they played. Or, to be more precise, cared more about how the looked than how they sounded.
