Mark? Excellent.

So, to recap, I say that I have a $500/month budget, somebody responds with "I'm having trouble making payments on my Audi" and everyone else responds with "You settled for a cheap Audi?" ... Rich bastards.

Paranoia. How many pointless posts like this do I have to make before I can download the rest of those MP3s? Can you just send them to me?

Alright, so maybe I live a LITTLE bit in poverty.

Waking Life

I spent my halloween in the usual way: getting trashed, making an ass out of myself, not being allowed back somewhere ever again, then sleeping in the hallway because I lost the key to my apartment. I 'm a classy man.

I thought minimum wage wasn't a living wage, too, until I became an adult and actually had to afford to live. You can't raise a family, by any means, on minimum wage, but the conditions I currently live under require 20 hours of minimum wage pay a week to survive. Granted, that doesn't take in to account any kind of frivilous spending or anything, but it's still kind of mind-blowing. I mean, working full time at minimum wage I have double what I need. And, sure, I'm poor and live in squalor, but I'm happy. To clarify the math, $300/month for rent + utilities (because I live in a living room), plus $25 a week or so for food and $100 for a TTC pass. $500/month in total. For easy math, put minimum wage at $7 and you get 17.8 hours a week.

I've always really liked "The Folk Singer" and "Joe's In Trouble". Matt's talents weren't as developed when he released those albums, and it comes out in the music, but I bet if he released a guitar and piano album now it'd be brilliant.

It took me a while to realise this thread wasn't about me. At first I was kind of creeped out that you guys know that I work at Canadian tire and have a beard. If you hate him now, try watching him in the same ad on eternal repeat.

They didn't really have that much differentiation.

Yeah, they sure were pretty rebellious in the 1960s. Then came Zeppelin, then the Sex Pistols, then Minor Threat and DC hardcore started yelling, then nu-metal kinda kicked out everything but yelling, then modern hardcore and grindcore started celebrating drumming where you can't make out anything but a blur of double-kicks in the drumming. And now I don't really think a lot of kids rebel by listening to The Beatles anymore. Ever since rock has come in to existence, the underground's been constantly trying to be one step heavier than what's in the mainstream. Now we're at a point where singers make legitemate attempts to sound like Satan when he's pissed off, meaning one of two things: 1) I just don't have a good enough imagination to think how they could make music (much) heavier. 2) This is kind of just another sign that rock'll be lucky to get 10 more years before it's completely dead. I had a conversation with a friend about this one time and said, "What's even left? Just sounds of people dying?", to which he responded, "Actually, Fuck The Facts already has a song that does that." That kind of put it in to perspective for me.
