true perfection has to be imperfect

School

My mother didn’t let me go to school today, not exactly a good thing. There wasn’t a reason, how am I to explain this?

Recession: It’s hitting the web aswell

It breaks my heart when I see my mother get a letter from our realtor saying that our house is about to be taken away for the fifth time. We don’t pay any car bills, we don’t have a home phone number. The only payments we have are our house, insurance, and tv/internet. We actually got our cable cut off the other week, so we had to call to get that put back. We’re always in danger of losing power and water because we can never get our bills on time.

In my case, it’s hitting me pretty hard aswell. I can’t afford to pay my phone bill, my hosting packages, and screwups. I’m a good designer, but no one’s wanting to pay me the full dollar for my work. It’s the same thing with writing. No one is wanting to pay $75 for a good article these days, they want the work done for staggering prices.

My friend has a web hosting company, he loves it, but the costs of keeping it alive are putting him into more debt. He’s tried to sell it, and a teenager almost bought it, but he turned down the offer. I think that’s great, I wouldn’t trust teenagers to handle something like that, I could hardly do it at that age.

The problem is that so many people are offering $1-$5 dollars for hosting on huge servers. People would rather have that then pay $20 for a package. That, and people kinda know who they’ll go to for that sort of thing. The industry is inflated, but so is everything else on the internet right now. It’s one huge pile of spam and cheap stuff.

Dear Nickelodeon,

Hi, maybe you don’t remember me, but I’ve actually written to you before. Yes, when I was about seven, I wrote you guys an e-mail and got an auto reply a week later, so maybe this’ll never reach you aswell. Anyway…

I used to like your tween shows, they were original and pretty realistic, nowadays though, they’re about kids who have everything in the world (particularly iCarly). Now how about your previous network actors? Well, one of them is making a mess of themselves on SNL.

I hate to dwell on just one show, but really, iCarly is just really, really out there. I saw an episode the other day, and they were giving away a car. One of their enemies won it, and they wouldn’t give it to him, and so he got a lawyer. Yeah, that’s all I can say. Then again, Hannah Montana isn’t that realistic either, but if that’s what the kids like…

What happened to real TV?

I’m so tired

Spend most of the day in class, helping with the patch bay testing, was pretty boring. At least that part went by fast. I absolutely dislike using ProTools for five hours straight, especially on tracks that I wouldn’t bother with. I’d rather work with dance tracks.

Speaking of dance tracks, I really, really like The Prodigy’s new one, Omen, it’s amazing! That would be a cool track to work with, the sound effects make the song, and it’s very pleasing to the ear. I don’t like stuff that makes your ears hurt.

But yeah, I guess because we’re in Texas, we’re more likely to edit country songs, but I think we need to have a little more variety in our work. At least they’re well known works.

I complain too much.
