Adult Content

Maybe you're getting a warning now when you come to the blog, as I am sure all of you do many times a day. It may be warning you that this site contains adult content. Some of you may be concerned or excited that now my blog contains pornography or gore-nography.

Well no. That's not my style nor is it my interest curate images of wet-and-sticky-ness.

Rest assured that I really just wanted to  type the word "f**k" unabashedly and without feeling like I might get caught doing something wrong.  I felt like the lie I was telling to myself and google was too much for me to bear; that I would be writing age appropriate content or that I gave a f**k if any verbal prudes were disturbed by language or content.  I had to set myself free, and warn grannies, and entice willful youngsters with a tease of unsavory or inappropriate content.

But please do not be dismayed, mostly, I just wanted to be able to appropriately write "f**k" in my blog posts.

B*lls,
Matt.

UPDATE: 7/1/2013- The googstopo said something about not allowing adult content or deleting blogs, so I decided to play it safe and change the settings. I guess I'll just hint at the word "f**k." Your loss internet. 

I am wearing an unmatched pair of socks to work today but no one will know but me... and I guess you, too. 

Let there be WiFi

After a week of asking around and being told that the internet in Abbeville lived at the library, I found a cafe with wireless internet access in the beautiful downtown area! Awesome. A little cold out in the smoking section today, but a comfort to know I have a little getaway.

In related news, the presentation I gave at the LTC this morning went great and my class will probably be starting up soon.

Friendtime Listening Party - Episode 003 - I Want You, I Want You (She's So Heavy), She's So Heavy!

Episode Three, technically. I have shortened the format until I can afford some proper web-hosting. I will return to the longer format unless you like this better.

New Podcast, Happy Martin Luther King, Jr B-day celebration.

So I made the new podcast, but am still juggling the best way to distibute for free. So Friendtime Listening Party is on hold for now, which is perfect, because it is a holiday.

It had been a long time before this morning since I had seen this speech in it's entirety.
Awesome.

Friendtime Listening Party

I made a podcast, sort of.

That's what we watch?

I know, everyone is tired of cynical/idealistic bitching about media and our culture, but seriously. We were watching Good Morning America this morning ( I know, my bad) and they spent about a minute and a half on the fact that two Democratic Senators are planning not to run for reelection. I know, not super exciting or anything, but fairly important as far as the legislative future of our country is concerned.
Maybe a minute was adequate for that story, but in contrast to the 7 and a half minutes they spent on the death of Johnson and Johnson former heiress, Casey Johnson it is pretty telling of where most people's heads are, and it is at least a little scary. They made a giant story of this relatively non-contributing member of society, including excerpts from interviews not deemed television worthy before she died, and of course web cam clips from she and her fiance, Tila Tequila. They also brought in a hack relationship therapist to say that the parents, in light of their daughter's publicized death, probably did the wrong thing in cutting her off when she repeatedly relapsed in her fight with addiction. Where was Terry Real (douche bag publicity whore masquerading as an expert) when Johnson was alive?
I didn't know anything about Casey Johnson before she died, and I am not all that interested in finding out more about her because she is dead. I'll also reserve judgment on the family since I have no clue what relationship they had with their daughter and I honestly feel sorry for their loss.
I would however love to be more informed about the change up in our federal legislative system, if the change matters, more probably, why it doesn't matter, and what we as well informed media consumers and active citizens could do to change it.
No, fuck it, I'll just buy some more stuff.
On a more positive note, iTunes genius play list hit Brian Eno's "Slip Dip" from The Drop spot on, so I am listening to some great random songs while I kick out some more corporate propaganda. I am not listening to John Cougar Smith Jacob Jingleheimer Mellow Mellencamp's "Ain't that America."
