fuzmeister: Almost Forgot...

---

I finally ordered these... maybe ten years too late.



These are fantastic soundtracks even if you're not a fan of the show or anime in general. If you have an appreciation of jazz, you owe it to yourself to check these out!

Mood: Still Excited
Music: Tobacco - Truck Sweat

fuzmeister: Shadow Lounge

---

I am playing a gig tonight at the Shadow Lounge in Pittsburgh. This is significant mostly because it's the first gig I'm playing in almost two years with a full band set up. The new outfit is called Steve Thompson&The Professionals and we're mostly working with my newer songs from God's Justice.

I'm pretty darn excited about it. If anyone who reads Vent will be in the area (highly unlikely), stop by. :)

Some videos and/or photos could surface after the show as well!

Mood: Excited
Music: Neu! - After Eight

fuzmeister: Another New Year

---

The more the years go on, the less Vent is being actively used - Just a little new year observation.

Why not make a resolution to post more frequently? Seems more realistic than other resolutions... then again...

Mood: Moderately Awake
Music: Tom Waits - Jockey Full of Bourbon

fuzmeister: Food Poisoning

---

When you eat sushi, mexican food, and a gas station grilled chicken sub all in the same weekend, it's hard to determine the guilty party.

Either way I feel like poo.

Mood: Drained
Music: Green Day - Stray Heart

fuzmeister: Four Weeks To Go

---

I am so tired of the rhetoric from both sides. I am so sick of being bombarded with political advertisements every minute of every day. Before you know it, we'll be blaming whoever gets elected for whatever our current problems are. I'm not trying to be a sniveling bitch, but when are people going to realize things aren't probably going to change that much no matter who gets in?

That being said, are there really people who think things have gotten that bad? Maybe I have an unrealistic perception of what a good standard of living is. I still see people consistently buying luxury items and eating out daily. And, no, I don't live in some affluent part of Pennsylvania; I live in one of the poorest parts of the state. Now, I do NOT want to make it seem like I am not in favor of social assistance when it is needed. My point is that people generally do things they can't afford to do these days (myself included at times). Maybe people don't know how to manage their money properly. That's probably the real crisis that should be addressed here.

Neither candidate is going to be able to magically create jobs out of thin air. An ever-growing group of slacker twenty-somethings who feel entitled isn't helping anything. I hate working too, but I know a job is something I must to do to maintain my desired quality of life. Maybe you should have gone to school for something more career-oriented. I was going to go to art school for illustration, but I ended up doing computer science and communications. Yeah, those aren't fun, but at least I can own my own place and do things I like now. It's just part of how things are. Sometimes you have to man up and do things you don't want to do. I've come to accept this. You have the right to follow your dreams and do what you want in life, but if you can't make it on that path, don't go crying about it!

Whoever wins the presidential election probably won't change the world. In fact, it's virtually a sure thing that in four years we'll be going through this whole blame game campaign stuff again. I guess that's just the nature of 21st century living...

As a side-note, what's up with everyone saying our president is a socialist these days? Maybe people should look up socialism in the dictionary.

Yours truly,
Comrade Steve
