Making your life better by the second.
Well it’s that time again. Every four years we get to celebrate Quantum Leap Year, and today’s the day my friends.
All month long good boys and girls have been learning their black history, in hopes that Scott Bakula will leap into their bodies and right the wrongs, hoping that his next leap is the leap home.
Oh Boy

Hey music fans… If you go out and buy the Re-release of “For Those Who Have Heart” by A Day to Remember, you might just notice a great photo of one of my Tee Designs right smack dab on the inside cover. I had a chance to meet with these guys over the weekend. Look for some big projects coming from us in the extremely near future. They’re growing in popularity quickly due to their cover song, Since You’ve Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson. Look it up on myspace, it’s great.
I only eat a handful of things. Ask my friends. It’s true
1. Chicken
2. Tuna
3. Peas
4. Corn
I’ve been like that as long as I can remember. I eat the same thing for lunch every day. Most of the time I get groceries at Wal-Mart. It’s probably the cheapest place around here to buy good food. However, today I made a mistake.
I was in a rush, and though that I could just “pop in” to the Giant Eagle because it was closer. Then I got really mad. Every single thing in Giant Eagle was ridiculously higher priced. A bag of chicken I get a Wal Mart for $6.00 was $11.00. The 69 cent can of peas and corn at Wal Mart was going for 97 cents at Giant Eagle. I already had the cans of vegatables and tuna in my cart. When I got to the chicken, I just left my cart in the middle of the freezer aisle and walked out. Giant Eagle is an asshole. They charge way to much for their food and EVERY SINGLE person that was working there was either over 70 or had a limb that didn’t function like normal. Their cartboy was in a wheelchair. I’m not kidding. That place has got some problems.
Also. ALSO. Little cards that you swipe at a store for discounts can suck my ass. Giant Eagle has the advantage card. I don’t see the advantage of being an exclusive member of a store which is unable to staff young able bodied people to stock the 11 dollar bags of chicken. I Hate Giant Eagle.
If you ever mention around me that you’re broke and later on I find out that you do your grocery shopping at a Giant Eagle, I’m going to punch you right in the stomach for being an idiot.
Blade Runner: The Final Cut is coming to the Harris Theatre downtown the weekend of March 7th thru the 13th. I will be there to experience the glory of one of the best sci-fi films ever. Granted I bought the limited edition suitcase with the final cut of Blade Runner inside.. but seeing it on the big screen is a must. Be there or be square nerds.
I love apples…granny smith, apple pie, apple cider, candy apple.
Here is just another reason for you to love apples too…

Have a splendid weekend!!!
I’ve been reading a couple articles how young people are communicating less and less in real life and more on the computer. Since everyone is spending more time alone, they’re also hurting the music scene in a way. If you don’t hang out with your friends, you can’t be in a band.
However, there sure are allot of techno computer dance one man bands popping up on myspace. I think this kind of music is going to be the next big thing. Grunge, Punk, Pop, Pop Punk, Hardcore, and now Repetitive loops.
You know who had repetitive loops first? Nintendo.
I’m not sure what kind of program this people are using to make these songs, but I’ve been working on one. I call it “No Dankin’s Required”. Let me know what you think

Yea. That shit’s copywrited too so don’t even think about it.
I am wrapping up a project where I will be distributing at least 500 5 page comics for free. These will be given out at my art shows, stores in downtown Pittsburgh, or anywhere I can drop a couple off.I am looking for Clothing Companies, Bands, Blogs, or anyone else that needs promotion to help fund this project.What you will get in return is this:
On the last page of the mini comic (page 5), there will be half a page where I will have a “brought to you by” section. This is where your website address, myspace, or whatever would be listed, as well as a logo if you have one.
I am prepared to pay for 500 of these comics to be made out of my pocket. However, any additional money I recieve will be put into making MORE than the 500 comics.
I am asking for $5.25 per add. This money can be sent through paypal only, as I plan on getting these things made this weekend. The extra quarter is to cover paypal’s stupid fees.
For $5.25 your getting your advertisement on my 500 comics, PLUS the extra comics that your $5 is paying for.
If your interested, please send me comment on here or email me at gondek@mattgondek.com. My paypal account is “gondek@mattgondek.com” Please respond by Friday night, as I’ll be getting these printed on Saturday the 23rd.
As of writing this, I still have 4 spaces available.
keep on truckin’

Magmo is here to help. Magmo is here to destroy. Destroy pollution, greed, poor healthcare, trans-fats. Pretty much anything that destroys us. He’s an artist w/ a message in his work, which is apparent on his website http://www.magmothedestroyer.org/. Even if you could care less about the environment, I guarentee that you’ve never seen anything like his work. It’s truly unique.
He had a show here in Pittsburgh last summer, so hop in your time machine, and check that out too!
I recently recieved the fifth season of my favorite TV show on DVD as a gift. Although this season is good / funny overall, you can tell that these episodes were made during the production of the movie. Two episodes are based on the feature film itself, and a couple of the others seem rushed, and not as well planned out as past seasons.
Still, the good outweighs the not so good. Highlights include meatwad’s dog that constantly rapes their neighbor Carl, Shake’s son, and an entire episode that promotes Boost Mobile.
The DVD’s themselves are pretty good. All the menus are sung and the special features are funny. There is a music video, deleted scenes, and allot of stuff dealing with the movie. The only special feature I didn’t like was called “Learn to Shred Like the Master” which is just two minutes of some dude playing guitar.
Also, the DVD comes with stickers, which is an A+ on my book. You should go out and pick this DVD up as fast as possible. But, if you don’t own the earlier seasons (especially three), I recommend going and getting them first.
