People solve things the wrong way
3 min read
No one can be mature and talk anymore. NO one can. They think they are doing whats right by sick-ass sneaky underhanded baby shit, but okay...so lets say someone does that. Fine. They feel they triumphed. (Aside from the fact, that they SOOOO didn't at all!). What was solved? In fact, is it not worse!!?? From their point of view I mean! If they have a problem with you and they are nervous around you...WHATEVER, and they go about trying to fix things without ACTUALLY doing so...they are still nervous! They are still upset! They are still waiting for some theoretical shoe to drop! All of this, when the answer has been in front of them all along in SIMPLE, HONEST COMMUNICATION AND HEALING. But I suppose that's too hard for some people. These people are pussies. Yes, it takes work. Yes, it takes commitment. Maybe even a few tears and hugs...the works. But by doing so, everyone can get along and not feel that they have the sword of Damocles hanging about their head by frayed piano wire.
I'll tell you why that doesn't happen. People feel avoidance is easier, but what does it solve!!?? It makes this WORSE! It's fucking proven EVERY....GODDAMN...DAY. And then....they are left no better than they were before, if NOT worse! It's like, "congrats...all that blood, sweat, and tears for not a goddamn single thing you gained for peace of mind. You must be proud of yourself" lol. It would be funny if it was not so tragic, because look...I don't wanna see even my worst enemies SUFFER. That's not who I am and not who I ever been.
My advice to anyone out there: If you have a problem with someone. If you are scared to heal. If trust is gone....TALK TO THAT PERSON. MAKE...IT...RIGHT. In my experience, and trust me, being gay, I've dealt with SO much drama in the club scene (sorry, but some stereotypes are sadly true), but in my experience, it's never EVER EVER EVEEERRRR too late to bite the bullet (just an expression) and reach out, saying "Look, this has gone on far enough. Let's talk, because this is no good for anyone. People are hurting, they are scared, and they just wanna live their lives". See, people do not do that because they think it's admitting some kinda defeat or something. It's pride. It's hubris. But it's not defeat!! It's the opposite! By talking, and I mean REAL HONEST communication with no drama and no games, makes you the strongest person alive in my eyes.

So, there's this two-faced hypocrite that I know. He claims he wants nothing to do with me. Yet, lo and behold, there he is on my Visitors List, like I *really* wouldn't find out. 
I guess it takes all kinds of people to make this little blue marble go around. But seriously...what a loser that he feels the need to lurk but won't talk. Doesn't make ya look good, buddy.

My future podcast!
1 min read
This week (prob starting tomorrow!), I will be writing my script for my first podcast! It's going to be about horror movies...histoy of horror, reviews on New Releases as well as classic favorites, debates such as CGI vs. practical effects, where horror movies are heading in the future, tropes and themes, some shows devoted to one particular film or franchise, etc etc. A TON of stuff! 'Script' is prob the wrong word. More like an outline. I will have guests and such, so it's gunna be pretty free-flowing. 
Eventually, I want this to be a professional podcast...like available on Mixcloud, Soundcloud or whatever. BUT...since I have NO idea how to get that started yet, I am going to broadcast the first one on YouTube and it will basically be my describing the podcast, and what everyone can expect. So stay tuned!

The Decline of Entertainment
2 min read
Question I ponder:
Does anyone think intellectual and thought-provoking art will EVER become mainstream again? (In all forms, I mean. Movies, comics, music, videogames, etc).
Even as recent as a couple decades ago, art seemed to be pretty cerebral. Sitcoms where at least trying to be clever, movies had some depth (even horror movies and action movies. I mean, look at the Indiana Jones movies...while they had a lot of action, there was tons of down-time...enough to flesh out intrigue and a good story), music was mufti-faceted and inventive. (you had INSANELY complex guitar solos, artists taking chances on atmospheric New Wave, and even pop music had a level of thought, clever lyrics, and artistic videos).
Now? Heh! Where do I BEGIN! The few sitcoms we have left are extremely vapid with catch phrases and easy jokes (mostly sexual), mindless reality shows and talent shows have taken over, (I use the word "talent" very loosely), movies decided that the modern audience prefers not to think when going to the theater, opting for CGI over complex practical effects and action over story. (this is exactly the same w/ modern videogames as well), and the music industry is utterly atrocious with artists taking the easy route of Autotune, VERY simplistic lyrics (many times written by the studios and not even the artists themselves.
Why did this happen to art and entertainment? Is it the audience? Or is the Recession to blame? (Is it that the entertainment industry just doesn't wanna put up the money anymore and instead goes for the cheap and easy?) Maybe Is it due to the internet? Has social networking and easy access watered down entertainment? Or is it something else entirely? (Is this merely a phase of intellectual apathy that society as a whole is going thru or can we expect things to get worse before they get better?
Bottom line..in almost all things entertainment (and yes, as always there ARE always exceptions!) there's just no SOUL anymore. It's mindless "fun".
Thoughts?
