T-shirts?

If I were to print things on T-shirts on sale for FC, how much would you be willing to pay for it and what would you like to see on it? Would you actually buy a T-shirt?

And how do you feel about shopping bags?

My Favorite 2006 song

"When You Were Young" by the killers with the key of B major and written in common time, displays the band's move towards a more "American" musical style, as it is part of an album that was supposedly heavily influenced by the music of Bruce Springsteen

My Favorite 2003, 2004 and 2005 songs

2003
"Hurt" as performed by Johnny Cash is the best cover song in my opinion. Even Trent Renzor who made the original song was blown away by it.



2004
"Float On" by Modest Mouse has a very interesting guitar riff as well as a video with quality anesthetics. Asked about the song in an interview with The A.V. Club, Brock said that he consciously intended to write something that felt more positive than some of his previous work:
“It was a completely conscious thing. I was just kind of fed up with how bad shit had been going, and how dark everything was, with bad news coming from everywhere. Our president is just a fucking daily dose of bad news! Then you've got the well-intentioned scientists telling us that everything is fucked. I just want to feel good for a day."




2005
Cuomo's story behind "Beverly Hills" by Wheezer: "I was at the opening of the new Hollywood Bowl and I flipped through the program and I saw a picture of Wilson Phillips. And for some reason I just thought how nice it would be to marry, like, an “established” celebrity and live in Beverly Hills and be part of that world. And it was a totally sincere desire. And then I wrote that song, Beverly Hills. For some reason, by the time it came out—and the video came out—it got twisted around into something that seemed sarcastic. But originally it wasn’t meant to be sarcastic at all."
I must admit, it's definitely a feel-good song.

QUOTED FOR GREAT JUSTICE

1) Being gay is not natural. Good people always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal. Marriage MUST be consistent!

5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because there is no such thing as orphanages, and the world needs more children.

7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in the world.

9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

My Favorite 2002 Song

Well, after Zack left Rage Against Machine, the remainder of the band got themselves Chris Cornell from Soundgarden who provided his familiar classic rock-esque wails and croons to the songs. Bassist Tim Commerford claims that the song is about an old man waiting for death, who sits in a house alone after all his friends and family have passed on, waiting to be reunited with them. However, while Commerford originally thought it was a song about love and romance, vocalist and writer Chris Cornell explains that "It's a song about concentrating on the afterlife you would hope for, rather than the normal monotheistic approach: You work really hard all your life to be a good person and a moral persona and fair and generous, and then you go to hell anyway." That song is "Like A Stone" by Audioslave

My Favorite 2001 Song

In 2001, I stopped listening to top 40 stations on the radio and switched to alternative rock stations. One of my instant favorites is "In The End" by Linkin Park.

2/3 Childhood Mysteries Solved!

1 - Song from a video game I used to play as a child.

2 - A pizza I once had a few times at a local restaurant.

3 - A cartoon show I cannot remember the name of.


1) SOLVED!

The song was "Rondo Alla Turca" from the game "Captain Comic" on the NES. Replaying the game, I can't figure out how I could ever play it and not get flustered as a child, as the game was absolutely horrible, but I liked the music of one stage and it stuck with me forever until I finally heard it once more in another game, "The Lost Mind of Dr. Brain" for the PC. It was there that I learned the name of it, and then realized the REAL name of the song (it was mislabeled) was "Rondo Alla Turca" from Mozart when browsing Youtube one day.

2) SOLVED!

The pizza I once had at a pizza buffet restaurant in Florida was an apple dessert pizza, and for the longest time I could not get my parents to remember the name of the place, and thus the restaurant was lost to the folds of time. However, I would not let that pizza be forgotten, and tonight I successfully remade that same flavor! The recipe is as follows:

-=-=Zachary Geyer's Childhood Apple Pear Pizza Recipe=-=-


-=-INGREDIENTS-=-

- Thin pizza crust.

- Peeled apple slices.

- Peeled pear slices.

- 1/2 cup cream cheese.

- 1/4 cup sugar.

-=-PREP-=-

-Leave cream cheese out for at least 20-30 mins in order to soften.

- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees farenheit.

- Take the soft cream cheese and combine with sugar in a mixing bowl, continue to mix until smooth.

- Spread sweet cream cheese mixture on top of pizza crust.

- Place sliced apples and pears on top of crust, making the slices thin and narrow will give a neater arrangement.

- Place pizza in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

(You'll know when the pizza is finished by the softening of the fruit slices.)

- Let it sit out for 5 minutes in order to cool.

- Slice, divide, enjoy.



3) UNSOLVED...

The cartoon clip burned into my memory is a short one. It was of lizard-like "furry"(anthropomorphic) superheros, very well a TMNT ripoff of course, but these guys would suit up into silver spacesuit-esque gear, and full face helmets with half-visors. Each team member had a different colored visor and most likely a different superpower. The one clear character reference left is of a red-visored lizard using telekinesis to move a table over a pit of spikes, so he could safely jump down from a chandelier he was grasping.


I hope to have the third mystery solved, as I cannot truly be at inner peace without it.

Socialism

Right now, many people are up in arms screaming about the Obama administration and their attempt to create a better America.

Perhaps they are right. Providing a social system for every individual in this country is very expensive. We are a free market economy, and as such, the market should be allowed to grow on it's own, unhindered by government interference.

Plus, we're talking billions and billions of dollars a year, meaning the largest portion of your tax dollars will go to just this one program, and subsidizing those who can't afford to pay for it on their own.

A a public option? This is surely killing the system entirely, and dragging down the best companies.

Am I talking about Health Care? Fuck that, only the wealthy deserve to be able to get health care.

I'm talking about the school systems. That's right, I don't even have any kids, but yet, my tax dollars are going to pay for children all over the country to go to school. And it's not just like i'm subsidizing just the poor children of this country.

This public option? Did you know even wealthy kids can go to public schools and not have to pay a dime? And if they want to go to private school, the government will even write them a check to help pay for those private schools?

The public school system has long been dragging down the world's education system, and has been bankrupting this country for as long as it's been around (ya, the real reason for the great depression in the 1930's, public schools).

Perhaps I'm being a little sarcastic, but to me, I don't see much difference in all Americans having the right to free health care, any more than I see all Americans having the right to a general education. Sure, perhaps you want something a little extra (like a Hair Transplant, or College), and then you should have to pay out of your own pocket.

LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Don't forget the first word there.

This plan being passed through congress, I hope that it does pass, in the form that the House wrote. Health care is something currently only accessible to only the very wealthy, the very poor, and those who happen to fall under laws already in place (meaning those of you with full time jobs who have not been converted to "contractors" yet).

It will not bankrupt America. It will only mean that all Americans have the right to health care.

If you don't like it, then I suggest you first start writing your congress members to remove the public option from all public schools, before you can rightfully say anything bad about public health.

Random Ramblings

Thanks to a random link on Furaffinity by Ambercoyote, I watched an episode of "ReBoot" an old show from when i was a kid. Curious about it, I looked it up on Wikipedia and found out that the series actually ended WITH A CLIFFHANGER! That's so awful! The last five episodes were never made, because for whatever reason they stopped.

Ugh! SUCH a depressing nostalgia trip! ( T_T)

So when I mentioned this to Stephen and conveyed my dismay he said I could write the ending myself via fanfiction, and I could have closure that way. When I think about it now, it makes sense, because since the last five episodes do not exist who is to say that mine would be wrong?

In any case, this evening two funny things occurred to me.

The first was when i was making this new rose hip tea I bought at the Alpine Market. When I went to steep the tea bags, I noticed how the water started to become stained. It looked like blood, and then the idea of a vampire dunking a tampon into a mug made me laugh. Stephen made the same connection. Very funny.

The next idea was when I was reading "Not Always Right" a site about stupid customers and saw one about some idiot complaining about black Christmas trees and saying how they were Satanic. The idea crept into my mind, what if you made a stink about that?

"Excuse me! Satanists are people too! They may not believe what you believe but dammit they don't deserve the flack you're giving them! Not once have I ever heard of a Satanist being so arrogant as to say 'Satan is the way! You're going to heaven if you don't follow him!' or ripping on Christians for being who they are!"

Would piss sooooo many people off! XD Hah!

My Favorite 2000 Song

Good golly, did we start the beginning of this decade with crappy teenage pop stars and boy bands? At least Never Let You Go by Third Eye Blind has a hint of 70's blues-rock in it.

Its ok....

Cuz I'm a bunny now.

I've done some deep soul searching and I have decided that after some time spent not acting as a furry, and some time thinking about it I'm going to go with the bunny character "Toast" A well spoken well dressed rabbit, tan and black in color typical light toon style (not warner brothers, but maybe more disney antro, think brer rabbit maybe?)

Also, I hear some buzz on this is worth keeping an eye on

www.antheria.org

The link was passed on to me by a friend of mine. It looks intriguing. I wonder whats up?

has anyone heard anything about it?

My Favorite 1999 Song

You Get What You Give by New Radicals is an upbeat youth anthem, based around a piano chord sequence and an electric guitar lick in the background over a steady drumbeat. Many were drawn to the song's optimistic attitude and feel-good atmosphere (the song itself is about remaining true to who you are and not being "a fake"), making it one of the mainstay singles of the late 1990s. It has been played over one million times on U.S. radio. Man, I love that song back in high school.

Avatar, and German Market

This morning Stephen and I went to see that Avatar movie. It was absolutely beautiful, the world of Pandora was stunning, the imagination of all the plants, animals, the world itself, everything was so awesome.

Then after relaxing at home for a few hours we went out to Ikea to look for stuff bins. (Bins in order to store stuff.) Ended up buying more hangers, a LIME GREEN AND TACKY AS ALL HELL bathmat, as well as a bright red shower curtain to replace the crappy tacky one we got at Walmart that tore within a few months.

We then headed over to the Alpine Village Market, which is this small German import supermarket. Bought some brats for Stephen, among a few other things, everything is kinda pricey there, like they wanted 20 bucks for a jar of honey with a honeycomb inside. I mean you gotta be freaking kidding me. That's insane.

Going to do laundry in a bit, today's been such a great day. We even found Stephen's car charger for his phone that I thought I lost. :)

My Favorite 1998 Song

Lets face it; I didn't like most of the music that came out in the late 90's and early 2000's. Inside Out by Eve 6 didn't suck though.
