2009 and 2010 could possibly be the best years in music since the 80s

In the upcoming years you have many bands and artists releasing there latest projects all at the same time. Just a small list of these artists would include: Green day,Blink 182,Eminem,U2,Bowling For Soup,Good Charlotte,Micheal Jackson,Goo Goo Dolls,ZZ Top,Black Eyed Peas, P Diddy or Diddy or W/E he goes by now,and MANY MANY MORE.The reformation of bands and artists going back to work is all converging at the same time something we haven't seen since the Regan era. But what do the Regan Era and now have in common A financial deficit the likes of which we have never seen, a president people like after a president people hated, and a need to hear and feel something that isn't in the now. All of these may be theory's but the biggest thing to keep in mind is the fact that in these hard times people need symbols and musicians are excess something America hell even the World cherishes as a major value and there is nothing more excess then rockstars and rappers. If you look back at 2008 can you really name more then 3 major albums that came out...now think about 2007 and 2006 hardly any good music came out in those three years. Metallica and Guns and Roses were the only releases anyone cared about. We should enjoy this time of musical expression and bliss because it could be the last time we see it for 20 years maybe longer. With this odd combination of musical releases in our head lights it might be just what we need to boost the economy right now. Pure consumerism and capitalism the building blocks of what we need as a world now. All I know is that I have expressed my thoughts thoroughly and hope you can see things my way and remember "Arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics.
You might win, but you're still retarded."

A Review of Chasing Amy

Chasing Amy is considered to be Kevin Smiths masterpiece and it truly shows that every time I watch it. It is a movie that battles the demons of modern society through a humorous aspect. This movie stars Ben Aflek,Jason Lee,and the beautiful Joey Lauren Adams. The story's main focus is on the relationship between Holden (Aflek) and Alyssa (Adams). Alyssa is a gay woman and Holden is a straight man who is hopelessly in love with her. Holden's friend Banky(Lee) constantly gay bashes and hiding behind a fake cover hiding his true feelings. This movie combines the feel of Romeo and Juliet meets Smith's previous work Clerks. Chasing Amy has a sweetheart beneath the potty mouth exterior in this tale of star crossed lovers. This movie has the best scene near the middle where Aflek makes a speech that literally proves he is one of the best and most deserving actors of this time. See this movie immediately is my only recommendation if you don't you will miss your opportunity to see one of the greatest films of all time. 10/10

Its been a while...

So whats up Youtubers and Youtubetes and all of you beautiful bloggers you (and anyone on TGWTG or community.watchtheguild.com). I decided I am going to write a long diatrybe about how I got started on youtube and the internet alltogether. It all started 1 year ago when I got my first computer I was so happy. The first game I bought was a little game called Guild Wars. I then started a youtube account where I made my first video (honestly it was more of a pictorial made in WMM) after I made it I talked to a few other youtubers and asked there opinions and ideas on video editng. I only got one reply back from Pantsma. With his help in telling me about a video editing program called Sony Vegas Movie Studio and video game capture program called Fraps I started on my way. I started my first real "Machinima" in May 2008 when I uploaded my first video with movement. I continued to edit and make videos with the aid of Pantsma until I made the biggest mistake ever I got involved with a group of youtubers who would be my downfall. The G W V M (Guild Wars Video Makers) in their odd were the masters and you are low lives system it was obvious that if you joined you were at there whim. To bad I didnt see it. I entered a contest that the GWVM was holding. It was for a lot of gold and items and ectos so I said, "Why Not Try". I entered a video that didn't make it into the top 4 I believe it was so I asked a judge from the contest Tidus and she said "I cant tell you". I asked one more time "Please can you tell me". She flipped out and decided she was out for blood. I talked to another youtuber Roc to ask if he would stay neutral he said yes. So I talked to another youtuber Lokii to see if she would talk to Tidus she cussed me out for no reason. Durring the sane time a hacker and spammer Harwin was about (this is important to remember). I end up talking to another person from the GWVM Kitiara about how there are issues with the way the G W V M works and that it will end soon if they keep on the path where there going. She re twisted my words to make it look like I was some cyber terrorist out to kill the G W V M at this point I was fed up with the G W V M (I had already left after Tidus flipped out) and I joined a new alliance with a guy who I am just gonna call Mr. X. Now Mr. X and his friends in the alliance were sudo anti G W V M so I could vent all I wanted I had fun while I was there in that alliance I was on TS all of the time to. Fast forward about 2 weeks later Roc Dis Joint is going on ranting about how I am harwin and this that and the other thing to the point where he hits low and EMails my father and my fathers friend. The emails made no sense just random peices from the convo to make it look like I was talking about destroying the GWVM. My father threw it away marked the guys email as spam and so on. I continued talking with my alliance and a person Fallen came up in a few convos people she seemed nice so I talked to her about my problem and she "acted" supportive to my woes. She preceded to photo shop the screen caps of my convo together and make it look like I said I was harwin. Fast forward another 3 weeks later I left the alliance I was emotionally drained from Guild Wars and I left for other reasons such as the alliance leader Mr.X (not his real name) was a d bag. Roc continued to trash me until people started calling him out on and he let it go and gave a non apology. By this point I was truely done with Guild Wars and making videos. It was about a month since my last video and I make sorta a shout out to travis Barker telling him to get well soon after his plane crash. I got a webcam like a month after my barker video and the first vlog I did was a supernote for the Shay Tard Rebelionites. My second video was a vlog entitled RalasInChains vlog 10-2-08 and it was the first time people really got to know the real me. and all of the random hate generated by Roc Fallen and Tidus was gone what remained was a strong youtuber. and I started growing subscribers at a fast rate I went from 22 to 110 in one month. I had 22subscribers for 8 months previous so it was a huge change. The change was partly to do with my subscribathon and during the subscribathon I developed friends that have helped me even more then Pantsma did. These friends I made like Gatorad379 JeffDordy , QuantumCrayons, and other really taught me the way of the tube. By the end of my subscribathon its December and I am ready to be the youtuber I know I can be I am no longer the naive little youtuber with any influence. I now had POWER I continued to experiment make blogs even the occasional Guild Wars video. For Christmas I Received a Cannon Dc 320 camcorder. I can make videos that are almost in HD 720p I can film from beyond the computer. I am now wiser from my experiences and some of what I say in this blog may get me in trouble but does it seem like I care. In the long run everything I did I needed to do to become me to become a youtuber to become an adult. I can honestly say I am happy I blog every week and I twitter every day. I make a video or two a week I watch The Guild,Nostalgia Critic,and AVGN to fill my time up. Some random facts about me are that my favorite three favorite movies are Platoon Chasing Amy and Pump Up The Volume. My favorite bands are Green Day Blink 182 and Maximum the Hormone. Some of you may say WHY IS THIS BLOG SO LONG I say to you because I had something to say.
