Who is the most awesome band ever. Pretty Lights!

My favorite group for so many reasons. They are awesome, they are AWESOME, their own record label, free music (you should be kind and donate). They used to just give it away, but I, and I am sure hundreds of others, emailed them begging for a donate button so we could send them something for their awesomeness; within a few days the music was still free, but there appeared a small donate via paypal button.

You can download their amazing music here.

What is wrong with artists today

We have the internet and everyone is on it. They don't need stinkin' record companies. I saw in the news yesterday that congress on behalf of these vultures are trying to start prosecuting little kids for lip syncing to their favorite songs on youtube; how sick is that?

I read in the comments some musician whinging about how these kids are stealing his profits. I commented that perhaps if some funny kid did post one of his songs maybe I would have heard of him. Really if you have sold 20 million albums you have plenty of money, and why would you sue and put in jail someone for promoting you? It's just sick.

How to get hot pepper oil off of your hands

Time!

I love the burn in my mouth, but oh god does it hurt on the hands! Normally I freeze them and when I cut them up I have no problem... I guess this time I let it thaw too much. Right now my hands are on fire.

I have scoured the internet and tried every single piece of advice others have offered; vinegar, baking soda, milk, yogurt, sour cream, nail polish remover, bleach, alcohol, beer, soap, stainless steel, lemon, lime, oil. I even got the bright idea that since the burn only lasts for 10 minutes in my mouth, maybe my saliva would work, so I started sucking on my fingers, I couldn't believe how much I could make my mouth burn after washing my hands like 50 times, plus it tasted like bleach so I stopped.

I have decided the best solution is to wrap my hands around a cold beer and get drunk... and try to remember not to touch myself!

Can't pay student loans - Time to get get scared

One of my student loans is defaulted and I know there are millions out there just like me. It is bad enough that student loans can never be discharged, but now they are beginning to get violent.

If anyone out there is thinking of going to school... DON'T TAKE LOANS!
Going to college was the worst mistake I have ever made.

It's time to get scared.

Bad economy? Lets raise prices, that should fix it!

Nothing that is going on makes any sense at all. I just got my latest power bill and about choked on what I saw. Even though we cut our energy usage in half our bill was double what it was last year! It costs $50 to fill up my car, when a few years ago it only cost $10. In the grocery store, generic cheese costs the same as the expensive cheese and I saw bacon for $7! A can of tobacco that a year ago cost me $7 now costs $30!

In my field there are 50 applicants for every job and everyone else is dead broke... yet prices are skyrocketing. Did I mention you have to drive 30 minutes away to get to the jobs? Crap, that will cost my entire paycheck just to get there!

WTF is going on?

in a whiny voice "Folks are forced to buy less, lets raise prices; Oh crap, we are selling even less and might go out of business!" I am no economist, but this makes about as much sense as parents who spank their kids to make them stop crying!

Big business and government say spend or fail, mamma and my dwindling youth say save or fail! I say it makes no sense even though self professed experts say it does. Whatever! If anyone really understood it and actually gave a crap (at the same time), we wouldn't be in this situation.

Oh yeah, Ron Paul understands and he cares... awe crikey, I forget, he is a terrorist. Never mind.

I say it is a conspiracy! It is almost as though we are being set up to fail and "they" are trying to make as much money as "they" can before it all goes down the crapper. Probably because "they" know that the aliens and zombies are about to take over.
