In a good way though. Music is really what I love in life. On average I’m listening to some form of music for a good 9 hours a day. Constantly on music blogs I love finding new music and showing people good music. It’s why I got a radio show, KBVR 88.7 Corvallis Mondays from 5-6 or Here. We each need some form of music in our lives, and whatever you have is great just for you. I will almost never criticize people’s musical choices or favorites. I suggest artists that I like, but since music is such a subjective thing it is wrong to expect that people are going to have the same taste as you. I let people listen to what they want to and if I don’t like it, that’s what FSM created headphones for. Finding new music is often difficult for the analog folks though. Going to a record store every day is unfeasible for most people and might even turn some people away from finding new music. Sites like hypem.com and a few others aggregate millions of music blogs a day to find the best new music that people are talking about. No, I’m not being paid by them, I just really like the site.

I’m not really sure what I would do with out music, probably be more proactive and get my work done faster instead of dancing in my room by myself to daft punk. You all do it, Don’t judge me! Music can follow our moods and really plays into how we behave each day. There is upbeat music for when we are happy, sad music for when we are sad, and daft punk for everything else. If we attempt to live our lives to their upmost potential, we first have to realize that music helps us. But sometimes it is good to take off the headphones or turn the stereo down and just listen to the music around us we just need to pump up the jams, have a good time and rock out. Enjoy your music, and stay classy.

Blogging is not necessarily a difficult thing, once you get the main site set up. Here are some good things to think about when you are trying to get it set up.
 

1. Keep it simple.

You don’t need a million little colors and sparkles, it makes it too difficult to navigate. You should try to cut out parts that you don’t need and really focus on making it simple to browse.
 

2. Know your colors.

Any bright colors on black are a bad idea. Imagine that people are going to be on your site for hours.  You want something that is easy to read and doesn’t stain the eyes. The same goes for fonts and font size.  It is always better to use consistant colors rather than contrasting colors.

3. Use a template

There are many, MANY, different templates on the internet that will give you a great place to start. You can always change what you start with and the people that put together the theme probably spent a bit of time trying to create something that looks good.
4. Take people’s suggestions

People will talk to you and if they give you a suggestion. Often this might come in the form of harsh criticism. Try it out and if you don’t like it you don’t have to change it.

That’s pretty much all I have right now. If you have other ideas about how to make a site look good just comment. I always want to hear what people say. Stay pretty people.

Last week, I posted about the worst movie ever, Electroma. It just made me so angry, so i decided that I needed to watch a good movie this weekend. Hot Fuzz, is one of the best comedies I have seen in a long time, the writing is good, if a bit predictable. It was simply just great. It has action, comedy, and drama and keep’s your attention all the time. Since Shaun of the Dead, I have wanted them to make another movie and this did it. It starts with Simon Pegg’s character in london and he is forced to move to this small rural city. The police force there is very stupid and never has to deal with anything. And then people start dying. from there on it’s kinda the whole movie and it’s hard to say stuff without giving anything away. In conclusion, this is a movie that mostly everyone should see, I say that because it has quite a bit of swearing. Have a good weekend, while I try to download grindhouse. I’ll put up a review soon.

King of Kong is a wonderful documentary about the journey of one man to break the world record score in Donkey Kong. As first sight that may seem like a very boring movie, but this movie has two very different characters. Steve Wiebe is the challenger. A father of two from Redmond, Washington who recently got laid off. The record holder is a wealthy business man from Florida. His name is Billy Mitchell. Through out the movie the viewer grows a strong attachment to Steve and a deep resentment for Billy. Steve is shown breaking records all over the place in tape and live in front of a lot of people. Being a gamer myself I can understand the pressure that he was put under, but yet he proved himself to be an excellent player. Meanwhile, Billy is shown selling his hot sauce and restocking shelves. Never is he shown playing a game, any game.
The way that the movie is directed makes you feel like you were with him through it all. I wanted him to beat a record so badly it was sad. I won’t say if he beat a record or not, you’ll have to see what happens for yourself. Steve is the type of person that is very easy to like. He is nice to everyone, he never gloats, and he realizes that this is a hobby. Billy, on the other hand, makes himself look like a jerk. He only sends in tapes, yet is shown driving around, eating in his restaurant and relaxing. Obviously he can’t take the challenge and I think he should probably give up the title if you can’t accept you’re not the best anymore. The worst part is that he sends out other people to watch Steve for him. I mean, honestly…?
This is a documentary that plays out like a classic good vs. evil tale. It has moment of happiness, sadness, hope, depression. To make it short it’s got it all. As far as documentaries are concerned it is one that will hold your interest the whole way through and make you want the good guys to win. Go see it, tell me what you think. Did I get anything wrong?
