Space by me
What do guys think? For those who don't know what it is, it's space. I feel like I might have added to much to it and made it to dark.

<-Shared shop-> Want a sig? Fill out the form.
I've decided to make my own. So far I'm pretty happy with it. Right now I'm putting the finishing touches on it. If anyone would like to try and make me a space scene still feel free. I'd like to see what the artist on tipit can come up with.

Labtop Help
I would recommend staying away from larger screens. They just become they're a pain because they are so HUGE and take up so much more space then say like a 14" when trying to carry it around in your backpack. I have a 15" MBP and sometimes that starts to become a pain to carry around because of its size. If Apple had like a 13.3" MBP I would be in heaven because then I could just get a 22"+ monitor and just hook my MBP up to that whenever I'm at my home desk. tip of the day: Laptops are meant to be portable.

Recommend an artist/band to the poster above you
What indie bands would you say CYmbals Eat Guitars sound like, in your opinion. I know lala.com has the related artists, but I never trust those lists, so from one indie fan to another, what artists would you say they are like? For the most part I can't really relate them to another band. They are kinda just doing there own thing. Animal Collective is a fair comparison with maybe a mix of like Sunset Rubdown/ Wolf Parade. Like I said they are really just doing their own thing here, its hard for me to compare.

McDonalds Is Good For You!
I eat McDonalds 4-6 times a day(4 during summer, 6 during winter), 7 days a week. Trust me, I'd admit it if I like it, but I'm not a fan. I've never quite understood why people would eat it if It makes them sick, or if they think it makes them fat. It honestly isn't worse for you than a lot of things you would cook at home if those are the kinds of foods you like to eat. I'm technically overweight, but that's because A) I play sport for a living. (I have a part time job to cover social expenses) B) It's the off season. C) I'm apparently an alcoholic. It's perfectly reasonable to enjoy eating food that is cheap, tasty and convenient. You're overweight because you eat McD 4 to 6 times a day. That's the reason you're overweight. Stop finding excuses for that. And oh, if that's how you cook at home you really should learn to cook better/other things/healthier. Personally, I eat McD a few times a year. I have no need for it, at all. Don't see what I would be missing out on. The McDonalds will help that, but on an average night out you'll consume twice to three times as much calories in beer than a standard McDonalds meal, a 500ml can of Budweiser has roughly 500 calories in it, more than a large chips from McDonalds. Perhaps that's the food he likes? Heard of opinions lately? People have differing opinions / tastes / likes, if that's what he likes then let him eat it and stop being such a [puncture] about it. 4 to 6 times a day :shock: .. Your technically overweight because you play sports? That is like the reverse affect .. unless you don't actually take it serious and are participating in a sport just to please your parents. I think you should watch Super Size Me.

Recommend an artist/band to the poster above you
I recommend Cymbals Eat Guitars to anyone who likes a good indie rock band. I just found them today browsing Pitchfork.com and had to go out and buy their CD, only thing is that they don't have a record label yet so there are very few places to buy it. I bought their CD off insound and I also downloaded it off some blog while I wait for the CD to arrive.

Summer...
AWESOME. Alone in Rome? Holy [cabbage] that would be so much fun. Yep, I'll be completely alone in Rome for better or worse. I'm really excited to see all the different things I learned about back in my high school world history class. It still hasn't quite hit me yet that I'll leaving Thursday morning. I blame it on Arizona's heat, the [cabbage]s deadly.

Summer...
Usually to start change you need change, summer isn't always the best place to start because when school comes back around you'll go back to your normal routine. Best place to provoke change is getting some new friends. I started my summer about a week ago. I'm leaving for Europe on Thursday, the 21st of may. I'm going to Amsterdam, Rome, Paris, and Athens in that order. I'm traveling with my twin brother for most of the trip. In Amsterdam we're meeting up with some friends from ASU so that should be crazy. Me and my brother are going to split up from there. He's going to London, and I'm doing the whole Rome thing. Should be fun kinda nervous being alone in a country where I can't speak the language. We're going to meet back up in Paris for a few days then fly to Athens where we're going to spend the most time. We're flying back to PHX on like the eighth of june where after a few days of resting we're eventually drive back home to Washington. No big plans for when I get back home but I should be going fishing, helping my Dad with a few projects around the house, hang out with friends. About a month before school starts back up in August, we're driving back down and moving out of our apartment and into a house so that should be pretty interesting in like 110+ heat.

Angels & Demons (The Movie)
I didn't think the movie was that great. I didn't like it as much as The Da Vinci Code. I'm not going to say anything else just because what I don't like would be a huge spoiler to the movie for those who haven't seen it..

Rap lol
[hide=] Mainstream.. You name two artist who haven't even released a single CD as "mainstream". Wale & Kid Cudi have only released mixtapes. B.I.G. on the other hand is/ was a "mainstream" rapper. I like Aesop Rock's voice. He has a unique sound. Does being a mainstream rapper make them less talented than a rapper that hasn't released a CD as mainstream or something? [/hide] No. Kid Cudi is has actually become one of my favorite rappers. I was trying to say that it is hard to call someone mainstream when they haven't actually released a studio album. I was NOT trying to say that mainstream music is bad.

LOST
The season finale was crazy. I really want to know more about Jacob and what is going on in the present more then anything else right now. I also have this horrible feeling that the show will end the say way it started and it is all one big loop.

McDonalds Is Good For You!
I never even heard of that one. And I guess I should have been more specific but I meant I never witnessed someone hungry that was offered fast food (any) and turned it down. I wasn't trying to say people don't prefer other food over fast food, but the way people are talking they make it seem like they'd rather starve than eat McDonalds. In N Out is only in the 4 states, Cal, AZ, Utah, and Nevada. It is a really popular chain and known for its freshness but I prefer a Famous Star from Carl's Jr or a Jumbo Jack w/ cheese from Jack in the box over an In N Out burger. Some people I feel just don't understand that it isn't purely the foods fault for so many people becoming obese and have health problems but that's a whole other topic.

McDonalds Is Good For You!
Well, I do usually get a pretty bad stomach ache if I eat too much of it, but I enjoy the taste and honestly can't recall anyone turning down a fast food offer because it's "icky", except for my grandparents who lived on a farm and made all their food from scratch but that's excusable. I turn down In N Out about 80% of the time because I really just don't like their hamburgers.

Eminem's 'Relapse' -
I downloaded the CD two days ago but I haven't had time to listen to it all the way through yet. I'm going to try and listen to it before the end of the week, I probably won't like a lot of it because I'm not much of a Shady fan but I'll definitely give it a try.

Plug adapters/ converters
I'm going abroad in eight days and I was wondering if any of you could recommend a good power converter/ plug adapter set. I've been searching around for them all day but I haven't found anything that I've really liked. I'm going to the Netherlands, Italy, France, and Greece and if I'm not mistaken they all use the same style plug? Also I'm only taking my ipod, and my phone so I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible.

You can't. BK would own them too hard. This man speaks the truth. And who the hell actually goes to McD's or BK for chicken nuggets? I only order a 6pc chicken nugget meal at McD's with tarter sauce ..

McDonalds Is Good For You!
Sounds kinda dumb. When you try to be funny, that is when you fail. What is your audience suppose to take away from watching your skit? Why would the kid have a kids meal if he isn't going to eat it? Also global warming? Seriously you have the kid basing his decision of eating McD's because global warming is going to kill him, not because its "healthy" for him. What makes him turn down better opportunities to keep working at McD's? You just have a collect of random ideas that honestly make no sense and your audience is going to hate your skit. Keep it simple and focus on your message. Again don't force comedy but far fetch ideas. Everything has to be believable.
