The past few days, I’ve been stressing out over finding a job. I search for “IT Technician” jobs in the search bar on monster.com, but it always gives me unsatisfying results. Either, the jobs have nothing to do with a computer technician, or it’s located in Nashville. I’ve been out of school for about 3 months, now; I’ve only applied for one job. I thought I had a good chance of getting the job, but I guess- I was wrong.
I recently finished reading Marilyn Manson’s autobiography, The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell. If anyone wants to know how the most controversial, mainstream artist became who he is, read this book. It’s packaged with a lot of eye-raising surprises. Last week, I sent off the Cinder Fingers book idea to an agent in New York. I probably won’t hear a response back, until two months. Until then, I’m writing on my new novel, & poetic brainstorms- like the one that I posted recently, > http://therevelationofarevolution.blogspot.com/2010/03/my-lifes-torturing-punishment.html#comments
For months, I’ve been playing an app on facebook called, Restaurant City. It lets you manage your own, virtual Restaurant: you get to choose what dishes you serve to your customers, decorate your Restaurant’s exterior and interior, hire avatars representing any of your friends, earn ingredients to unlock new dishes, trade ingredients with friends, level up to get a bigger restaurant, prevent disasters from happening to your friend’s restaurants, bury seeds in your garden to grow into plant ingredients, and earn coins to purchase from their catalogue of items. Each week, they introduce new items from a variety of different themes. For example, my restaurant is called, King Tut’s Pool; it’s a restaurant based in Egypt. Restaurant City came out before Café World. Café World’s fast popularity came from its paid advertisements. It’s made by the same company as Farmville; so, many of the Farm addicts probably raced over to Café World, thinking it was totally original.
I’ve been a BIG fan of American Idol, this year. I’ve been voting for my favorite contestants- like a drug addict needing a hook up. I’ve NEVER been a fan of American Idol, until last year, when I heard Adam Lambert’s sick, high-pitched vocals. There is just so many talented people on that show. It makes the audience feel like they are a part of it, since they get to participate- by calling in and voting. Simon Cowell is one of my favorite judges, because he reminds me of myself a lot. He states his unfavorable opinions, whether the world is ready to hear them, or not. Simon is leaving after this year, because he’s bringing his show, X factor, to the states. Paula Abdul got replaced by Ellen Degeneres. For Season 9, Ellen brings her quirky humor to the show, which the judge panel desperately needed. Recently, I’ve instantly became connected with contestant, Crystal Bowersox. It’s like our souls are running on the same frequency level. I believe that her raw, natural talent will take her far in life. I love success stories, that’s why I like American Idol. There are just so many great contestants performing on stage, each week. Here is a good example of Siobhan amazingly performing, Rolling Stone’s “Paint it Black”

Last week, I went to see Alice In Wonderland 3D. It’s not an exact remake of the Walt Disney classic that you love. It’s more of a sequel. Alice has grown up, since her first adventure in Wonderland. (This entry is based off of Lewis Carroll’s books, Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland & its sequel, Alice Through The Looking Glass.) It DOES have some sleepy parts; that being said, Rachel fell asleep through some of it. For me, it filled in many of the lost details missing from the first, Alice In Wonderland. In story, it makes the original look half-baked. I, personally don’t think it’s going to be remembered as an epic story like, The Labyrinth, with David Bowie. Tim Burton could of used some of the uplifting music from the original, to make it seem less lifeless, at times. He could quit putting the pale makeup on his actors; it didn’t look right on Alice. Though, I like how his iteration of Alice In Wonderland was more honest with Lewis Carroll’s original vision. I like how he doesn’t take out the sadistic, brutal parts- like Alice chopping off the dragon’s head. The story is told in an inspirational atmosphere that looks believable in 3D. If it just acted more like a remake- with the original music, this would have been purely epic. I give it a *** out of **** stars.
By the way, for all of you hardcore, Sega Genesis fans out there. Sonic The Hedgehog 4 is coming out exclusively to download on X-box Live, The Playstation Network, & Wiiware. That’s right, it’s the official, 4th entry of the ‘original’ Sonic The Hedgehog series. Don’t believe me? Look at the screen shot up above. Now, this is gonna be an epic return for the blue hedgehog.
