Can you say brain-washing?
“Television is altering the meaning of ‘being informed’ by creating a species of information that might properly be called disinformation. Disinformation does not mean false information. It means misleading information - misplaced, irrelevant, fragmented or superficial information - information that creates the illusion of knowing something, but which in fact leads one away from...

A Quick Post About Healthcare.
I am in this case working with a presupposition, that one of the government’s primary purposes is to protect the conscience of its people. In other words, they are to protect the American people from being forced (enslaved) to take actions that go directly against their moral convictions. I believe this can be achieved by giving more power to the states when it comes to social issues...

Something's been annoying me lately...
Let’s talk about selling out. How much do you hate it? How much respect do you lose for an artist that “sells out”? Do you hate it enough to stop burning CD’s and start buying them so that The Killers won’t have to give a salute to Dr. Pepper™ and all of it’s 33 wonderful flavors, a 12-pack of which may be purchased at CVS for a mere eight dollars (don’t...

My Three Least Favorite things about Southern...
Don’t worry I’ll include a “favorite things about southern california” list later. I’ll just need a LOT more time to think about it.
1. Too much sun - Any of the infamous leathery-skinned cougars that occupy the region would tell you that the sun is the best thing about Southern California, as would any one who has some sort of seasonal depression disorder....
Worthless.
Every since I heard the song “Be Calm” by fun, I don’t feel like anything I have to say is significant.

High School is Over. Be a Grown-up.
“High School is such a serious thing… these problems matter.” (note the sarcasm).
Even though you have to sometimes fight through Seth McFarlane’s political agenda to enjoy it, Family Guy is one of the best shows on television for this reason: It reminds us of how ridiculous we look when we take things that don’t matter way to seriously. I am among the guilty...

Thoughts on "500 Days of Summer".
So I just finished watching the movie “500 Days of Summer”. I’m no movie critic, but I thought it was very well done. The episodic structure of the movie was perhaps the most interesting part about it. The contrast between the various periods of the relationship between Summer and Tom was vivified by the quick mood changes provided by the non-chronological scene changes and...

What Is Music?
Studying music at the University level has provided me with friends that have no problem voicing their opinions regarding the definition of music. The interactions I’ve had with these people have given me the opportunity to evaluate ideas that I otherwise would not have considered. I know that this post will be, to some people, extremely pretentious and mind-numbingly boring, which is why...

An awesome comment from my buddy Zach
My buddy Zach commented on my last post with a really good point. Here it is:
Loved your post, still love it in fact. Not sure what you said about Jazz was completely accurate though. I believe Jazz artists from Louis Armstrong to Miles Davis had to have the balls to do something insane, something that no one else had done before, perhaps not with a scowl on their face but for sure with the...

A Post about Queen that's probably way to long.
Let me first say that I do not believe there is such a thing as the single greatest band of all time. But let us forget for one moment that the opinion of music is completely subjective, and think scientifically for just a small moment in time, never forgetting that this little experiment is completely and totally hypothetical. You know, just for fun…
Queen is the greatest band of all...
