My neighbor is downstairs grilling burgers, hence my entire apartment smells like hamburger.  Awesome.  Very considerate.  Thanks muchly.


Anywho, I have officially been approved by the nice folks at Google for their AdSense program.  I'm awfully glad of that, since it's the next step in this little experiment o'mine.  Too bad their site is down right now.  Ironic timing, no?

I'm noticing now that The Dark Knight has been out for a couple of days that there is a clear divide among people in my social circles.  They either love it and are at least semi-obsessed or they haven't even seen it yet because they're so tired of the Batman trend.  For myself, I just really enjoyed Ledger's performance as the Joker.  I'm hesitant about seeing it again, though because I'm broke and I could do a lot of things with those two and a half hours.

Also, is it just me or have all DVD player electronics begun to rebel as of late?  All of our three DVD players in our apartment have begun to skip playing DVDs, even when there are absolutely no scratches on the disc.  It has occurred to us to purchase a laser lens cleaner.  We're going to try that first.

Back to being broke, I heard somewhere that this economic recession we seem to be in is the closest our country has been to depression era conditions since that time.  From my position, I'd believe it.  Being a white male who happens to, for the moment, need to live in the south, I cannot get a job.  After all, being a young white male, I suppose I'm already supposed to have all of the advantages...r-right?  Well, not from where I sit.  All I have is $130K worth of debt from a supposedly prestigious art university and nothing to show for it that I didn't have before I attended.

But I'm not bitter.  I'm using my creativity to try and find other ways of income to support myself until I can find a stable job.  This blog is merely one of those avenues, albeit an experimental one.  I'll most likely continue this blog no matter what just because I find it fun.  I am, after all, an entertainer at heart.  I should hope that my ramblings aren't too droll for any of you.  I'm sure my whining side will burn off within the week, giving way to some even more humorous rants as they happen.

For now, though, I shall drift back into the electric pink and purple-hued gaseous vacuum of the antimatter can.  Anyone reading having any suggestions for topics, shoot me a line at matthewjohn42@yahoo.com.

Ugh...burger smell can penetrate even the antimatter-verse...
