Company Brands, Money and Garfield...




It's really hard to come up with new material to rant or criticize about. Sometimes I have to "keep" it in my memory banks until I could find my notebook to write it so I could forget it and think of something else (like porn or select clips from How I Met Your Mother...) Hey, everybody who values their brain has something that they write on... Sometimes I blame myself when I forget something noteworthy by procrastinating. I also suffer from the age-old disease of forgetting something when you are ready to write a material. It happens sometimes...

As I'm typing this I'm eagerly waiting for our salary. Seems the past few days I've been spending a lot on stuff I need to stuff I want, like groceries and a scale model of 57 Chevy, respectively. Especially with the crap that USA is experiencing, it must be really hard to save when you need some disposable income. You just have to prioritize. I just hope that things will be alright around the world 16 months from now. We really don't need another period of The Great Depression that happened in 1929. See? I read my history. Wish I knew more, though...


Speaking of finances, my girlfriend (yes, i have a girlfriend. want to make something out of it?) remarked last time that we went out. She said that she doesn't like those big-name brands that cost so much. It's like you're buying the brand and not the actual product. Y'know, she's right. Most big-name brands are like that. One time I saw a shirt that so thin it's almost transparent and you could see your bellybutton if worn. And it's worth almost 2000p!!! F*ck. You don't need that. For me, being a cheap bastard and all, I buy t-shirts for what is written on it. I like the feeling of someone reading what's printed and laughing at it. Sweet...

I'm currently hooked on Garfield comic strips lately. I enjoy the simplicity of the strip and removing Garfield from the strip and marvelling at his owner's extereme boredom ( to know what I'm talking about, go to http://www.garfieldminusgarfield.net/) although I've seen two instances where a joke was recycled. But I guess being in the business does have it's disadvantages. But still, I'm glad that Garfield is still active, churning out new jokes and misadventures and making kids read.

Rants: Watchmen looks to be good, although it mostly caters to comic book geeks. Ah well, there are like 200 bajillion lonely dorks around the world. With recession hitting the US, maybe Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson might need some more cash and return to drawing. Maybe...
