ART IS RESISTANCE

About Me


Personally, I think society, as a whole, needs to be reinvented. Take the government for example. Is there anything good going on there? I would say "no". How about your average person walking down the street? Would he mug you and take your new Nikes? The answer is a resounding "yes", my friends. As soon as you realize this, you will be free. Free to do whatever you want, whenever you want, how ever you want, all it takes is a free mind and a nonchalant attitude.
Now, this, by no means, that you should give up hope in the human race. Doing this could result in unacceptable behavior. Just remember that it's what you do that defines you. I stole one from Katie Holmes there. ;)
Take a nap when you are tired. Sleep deprivation could be fatal over an extended period of time.
Remember to get all of the essential vitamins and minerals during a day. Tasty Wheat will do the trick. It tastes like a fat man's sweaty taint but it's worth it.
Remember to have a nice day. If not for yourself, for me.
On a serious note:
The Nine Inch Nails Webpit
This is the site that I have been webmaster of for a good four years. I have learned much from maintaining this site and I have met many people I would have never met if it wasn't for it. Now, I am taking it to the next level. I am trying to start up my own web design business. The name of my company is Simficent Graphic and Web Design. I am currently in the process of putting together an official web site for my services. It should be going live sometime in the near future. If you are interested in services, mail me

Jaygo's Albums of the Year
____________________________________
2005: Depeche Mode: Playing the Angel
2006: Dredg: Live at the Fillmore
2007: Dave Gahan: Hourglass

Perhaps if Depeche Mode or David put out something for the year, I should automatically give them "Album of TEH Year". Once again, DM (particularly Dave Gahan) have floored me with their talent. Everything from the soundscapes to the emotional lyrics are truly mind blowing. I would be remiss to neglect the new Radiohead. It get a VERY honorable mention. Thom Yorke continues to amaze me. He is quite simply an auditory visionary, if that makes any sense and I know it does.

Truth be told, I'm not much of a reader. This is a strange fact because I enjoy writing. I know, doesn't really make sense. Basically, I like to create better than absorb when it comes to literature. Slowly but surely, I'm beginning to enjoy it more and more. Reading work superior to your own makes you a better writer yourself.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ
Buddha
Bill Clinton
Al Gore
Trent Reznor (for creative genius)
