All I can say is WOW. It seems this blog is getting MUCHO-POPULARO with the spambots!! They just CAN’T STOP leaving comments!!! How blessed can echoflip.com get? I don’t mean to brag, but I posted some of the comments below so you guys can share in my joy and happiness.

The open-jerk-face sandwhich spambot at best-global-hotels.com/hotels writes:
I found your blog via Google while searching for six star hotels and your post regarding yourself in Gaylord Palms at echoflip.com looks very interesting to me. I have seen many sites before and most of them do not look this good. I cannot wait to let my friends know about this site. Thanks for the excellent content.”

Thank you so much spambot! Even though my blog post was making fun of the name of the hotel, I’m glad that you and your friends are benifiting from my obviously amazing site layout and excellent content!! Suck an egg!

 The shouldn’t get out of bed in the morning because I suck so hard spambot at myyoungerlookingskin.net writes:I couldn’t understand some parts of this article amid.gov at echoflip.com, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.


Sorry there spambot. I know that I use allot of big words and I honestly hope that you can find some more resources to de-code my 4th grade writing level.

Dear Fat Girl Standing beside me at the Day to Remember show.

Hello there. It’s been awhile hasn’t it? It was very nice standing beside you at the show a few weeks ago. Thank you so much for singing every effing word of every damn song as loud as you could and off key. I am sitting here torn miss… you see, I can’t decide which I enjoyed more. You’re miserable attempt of trying to sing the screaming parts in between bites of your cheddar cheese pretzel, or your giant flabby sweat soaked arm pressing against my side. It shows real character to keep singing, even though every single person near us was glaring at you.

I don’t know what I’d do without people like you at shows. I mean, sure I went to see the band perform, but hearing you instead was totally better. I have been contimplating fronting the money for alittle studio time for you. That way I could get you in there to sing overtop the vocals so I could enjoy it again and again. If only there was a way to make the disc smell like cheddar cheese and cigarettes. Do you have any suggestions?

In closing, it was my pleasure to spend 40 minutes standing beside you. I hope I can meet you again sometime so that you can ruin another experience for me.

Love,
Matthew Ryan Gondek

Peace Out Stinkface

untitled.jpg
I thought of a great book idea for children. A corner of the market that is virtually untapped and just BEGGING for representation.

Urban youth with goofy nicknames that actually don’t like being called said nickname.

I present to you my book idea, called “Peace out Stinkface”.  It’s about a young boy who wants to leave his community because all his friends and family call him Stinkface. He doesn’t know it, but everyone calls him that affectionately. Ol’ Stinkface decides that he is going to run away due to the intense morose and turmoil he experiences daily, and lets some of his schoolyard chums know about his upcoming plans.

The chums devise a super sneaky going away party w/ balloons, cake, banners, and the finest tracks from the first Kris Kross album. When the party is sprung on Stinkface, he is taken back by the generousity and genuine sadness that his friends are dealing with due to his upcoming departure. This confuses him at first, but during the Kris Kross song “I missed the bus” he realizes that although he might have “a dumb ol’ nickname”, his friends and peers actually do care for him… even his teacher Mrs. Bucketbeard.

Stinkface realizes that moving away would be the wrong thing to do since he is already surrounded by people who admire and care for him. It’s a truly heartwarming tale that will teach the lads and lasses about the effects of namecalling, and also to put yourself in the shoes of the aggressor.

P.S. Yes this post’s artwork is a Matt Gondek original, thank you for asking.

No Electricity means No Updates :(

On Friday afternoon I got a text message from my roommate. Apparently there was a mix-up at our electric company. They thought we didn’t pay the bill. Therefore, without any double checking they shut our electricity off.

 My roommate called and asked what the problem was. They told him that they made a mistake, and that it was their fault… Ok great, so come turn our power back on right??    Wrong     They said that they couldn’t send someone out until Monday!  So we payed our bill on time, they messed up and shut it off on Friday, and now we have to wait until Monday to get it turned back on?  Yes, thats what we had to do.

 By Saturday afternoon the house was roughly 120 - 130 degrees,  and the kitchen smelled like a dumpster full of dead prostitutes. Also, the house was pitch black at night, making the heat from the candles we had to light pretty much unbreable.

 Anyways, this is why the blog hasn’t been updated in a few day.. so sorry about that. My bad

Redneck Rampage

redneck_1.jpgI recently overheard a conversation between two redneck country looking girls, and one of them was trying to explain to the other how her new I-Pod worked that she bought off her aunt. Apparently she just got it yesterday, and still couldn’t quite figure out how to get her aunt’s music off of it, let alone put hers on. She knew that she needed “some wire” to connect it to her mom’s computer, but she didn’t know how to do it. Getting her CD’s onto the computer was another problem she mentioned. Also, she couldn’t figure out how to get the batteries out, because they looked like it was running low on the screen and she needed to buy some new ones.

How in the hell can it be 2007, and someone in their early 20’s completely not understand how to work a damn I-Pod? I gotta admit though, I did get a kick out of listening to their conversation. Probably the same feeling someone educated gets listening to me talk about ANYTHING. Haha, oh well.

MAKE MONEY ONLINE RIGHT NOW

Being really new to this whole blog scene, I feel like that early 30’s something guy who just recently started shopping at Hot Topic and listens to the new Good Charlotte record. He’s just trying to fit in and be cool like everyone else, but at the same time, he has absolutely no idea what he is doing. That said, I have sort of been doing research on how to drive people to our new blog here, and how to make that oh so sweet cash flow come in too.

 What I realized is that to make money online, you need people to come to your website, and one way to do that is to talk to other people who have blogs and trade links and whatnot. This is where my problem came in.

Everyone and their mother’s blog is about how to make money online. One guy does it right and now 70,000 people copy him. If all I wanted to do with a blog was learn how to make money online, why wouldn’t I just go to the ONLY guy who is doing it right? Not the 70,000 other bloggers who are trying their damndest and not getting anywhere near what they had hoped for.

 Do I want to make money on this blog? YES OF COURSE I DO. Is my blog about making money? NO OF COURSE NOT. I hate when people bite off someone else’s style. Especially when those people are un-interesting, talentless jerks who have nothing decent at all to write about. They spend their time writing about ways to make money on their blog and it isn’t even working for them. I am getting to angry. I need something to calm me down. Where is my “magic eye” poster?

Sweet! A dinosaur! 

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, blog.

 With all that said.. the new Good Charlotte cd is pretty decent actually.
