Miss Voltaria (3:24:18 AM): I could totally see you doing that
crushedtwinkie (3:25:16 AM): I like things post apocalyptic too, it's the only reason I am wanting to see the Terminator sequel/prequel coming out

I am obsessed with the Geico commercial featuring the money you could be saving or "Kash" as he is formally named.

I am obsessed because the music at the end is so damn catchy and I was determined to find who made that song. Apparently it's a remake by Mysto & Pizzi of the '80s Rockwell hit "Somebody's Watching Me." So to make it easier and share the electro goodness of this song with you, I have embedded it on my blog. Enjoy!

Every time I hear sad news on the news, I can’t help but feel guilty that I live such a comfortable life. It makes me physically sick that bombs are going off near other people’s homes, while I am here typing this.

Number 1, thanks to every one who came out the Hexagon in Baltimore. Sorry I didn't do much promoting, but I dropped the ball on that one. Next time I will be sure to better haul your asses out to the show. The bands played a hell of a show and for the few that got to see it, everyone who played thanks you for your support.

I spun a dubstep/Drum&Bass set to kick off the night. Here is my setlist from the night:

I was followed by Worms of the Earth who tore up the PA system with his intense powernoize set of tracks off his new release "The Whore" (which is also for sale and a great Christmas gift for Mom, Dad, Little Jimmy and Grandma). As an extra bonus, Dan called me up onstage with him so that we I could sing along to his WOTE remix of Sacred Virus by Caduceus Virus (our ex project). It turned out great and it was so fun to pull out he old stuff.

Vicious Alliance played a scorching set of pure terror. The lead singer, Elijah S. Arms and his dually important female vocalist and right hand woman, Natalia, brought down the house with the duality of blistering harsh vocals next to the clean female vocals. The power of the performance was just as much if they had been playing for an audience of 3000 instead of 30. VA played both old and new tracks so that anyone could enjoy and feel the power of their music.

Please don't be one of these people. There is no good imitation for meat at your damn vegetarian restaurants.

Holy jingle bells, batman! It's almost Christmas.

I am thinking I may not be able to handle another one.

While Christmas used to be a magical special day of getting together, now it's just a nuisance to me. Not to be a grinch or anything, I respect the love that others have for this holiday, but I simply cannot empathize with how they feel.

I wish Christmas was optional. like, would you like to celebrate this year or not (please check one). That way no one would get offended at your lack of holiday spirit.

for example:

"Hey Jim! Where's your ugly holiday sweater?"
"Oh the wife and I aren't celebrating this year. Figured we'd take a year off with the economy and all"
And then it's no big deal. You can't get mad at someone who opted out of Christmas.
