Making your life better by the second.
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.
There are alot of new albums coming out next year, but only one you’ll need to care about. The band Doughnuts in November will be releasing their MUCH anticipated record here on American soil early next year. Up to this point, all their releases have only been available in their native land of Mexico. That all changed last month, when a merger between two of the biggest record companies in the business took place, allowing music from other countries into ours.
These actions did not come without sacrifices. Already losing two band members in the past, (Freddy Loser in a vicious knife fight outside a local club, and Dead End to malaria) Doughnuts in November had to be literally sneaked out of the country due to a public outcry of traitorism when they found out they were coming to America to record. The day before their 4 week burro ride across the border, the lead singer of DIN, Doug Dickens, almost was fatally wounded when an unknown assailant rigged his burrito with explosives. Fortunately, Doug was to busy pleasuring one of their numerous groupies and had skipped on lunch. The burrito detonated in his refridgerator and no one was injured. Another account saw their drummer, Astella Dios, with a three day hospital stay due to an attack from a moltov cocktail, which was dropped from a bridge while he was passing underneath in his camaro. The attacker was caught two days later by fellow band mates Finish Line and Maximum Buick, and was severly beaten. Courts ruled in DIN’s favor, and Finish and Maximum were let two with a paltry fine of 40 pesos and three hours of community service. The last, and most outrageous feat to stop the band was to their sole roadie, El Roadie Diablo Negro, from foreign dignitaries. While America and Mexico were discussing the merger, Europe, whom also wanted rights to DIN, invited El Roadie to an “all inclusive” vacation celebrating their success. However, upon arriving to Europe, El Roadie was quickly siezed and his four groupies (which is the standard number which accompany any member of DIN at all times) were shot on sight. Taken to a remote location, El Roadie was tortured within a mere fraction of his life for nearly four weeks for any information that would result in the inner colapse of the band. Standing fast, El Roadie endured hours of beatings, water torture, and starvation daily but never broke. He finally escaped after a clumsy guard forgot to re-tie one of his hands. El Roadie managed to untie himself and escape, but not before taking the lives of no less than 14 European guards, 3 horses, and 18 children.
Through much struggle comes much benifit however, as predictions claim that their album will be no doubt, the smash success of 2008 and possibly the first quarter of 2009. With a very grueling tour lined up of “at least 7 shows” next year, the album is expected to make the band 10’s of dollars. Stay tuned for further updates on the release of the album.
My roommate has a computer printer just sitting in the hallway for quite some time so I decided to put it to use. Using Photoshop, I constructed a little 12 page book of artwork and made ten of them. Then using some gold paint I signed and numbered each one.
After all that, I stapled them together, and sent out a bulliten on myspace letting everyone know I have limited edition DIY art books and they’re free. One comes with each piece of artwork or print bought off my myspace or website. I was suprised at how high the demand was for these things. I recieve alot of messages about them, and already sent three off this morning. 
I still have 6 left (I kept one for myself), so yea… www.myspace.com/huskydiver or www.mattgondek.com

As I go about my week, alot of different ideas for blog posts pop into my head. Unfortunately, not all of them can be fleshed out into a complete post. Therefore, I just mushed them all together, and got away with not having an actual decent post today. Hooray!
Scientists found this new breed of delicious looking Jelly Fish 3 miles under the ocean! I’m no oceanologist, but it looks comprised of an upper level of grape jelly. From there, we see the body, which is most likely some sort of orange glazed crab meat flavor, with just a hint of butter. Add that whole taste sensation, coupled with those crazy chinese noodle things dangling off of it, and you got yourself on hell of a dinner! There is a store in my hometown that sells diving equipment… I plan to go this weekend.
On my drive to work today, there was a blind man walking down the street with a seeing eye dog. He was dressed in a full suit… but his tie was crooked. It was so sad and funny at the same time.
This is one of the two new shirt designs I did for the band “The Devil Wears Prada”. You can pick one up on their current tour with Chiodos… if you’re into that sort of thing.
All carrots were purple until the 17th century. Look it up
I have been working at my current job for 8 months, and every Thursday this one guy says to me “Is it Friday yet?”. Then he LAUGHS. Not conversational courtesy laugh like I have to do when he says it. This ol’ boy LAUGHS and LAUGHS and LAUGHS. He loves it. I want to be him.
Studies show the leading cause of pedophilia is sexy kids
In a recent article on MSNBC, I learned that scientists predict that humans will be marrying and sexing robots by the year 2050, which is right around the corner.
Robots will soon become more human in appearance, along with more advancements to make them act and think like a person. With one exception. You can program a robot to love you.
The second I read about this, I thought about one of my favorite shows, Futurama. In a certain episode the main character gets a robot clone of a famous celebrity, and instead of living his life, he just sits around all day making out with it. Eventually he learns why this is such a bad idea. Everything mankind has ever done.. every invention, theory, sport has all been done w/ the intentions of impressing a girl and getting laid.
If there is no longer a reason to impress the opposite sex, why bother doing anything? Why work out or get a job when you can work at NeoMcDonalds (that’s what I call McDonalds in the future) then come home and get it on with your Jessica Al-bot 5000?
And didn’t anyone ever see I-Robot? What if these things get tired of fat sweaty ugly guys on top of them all day and they revolt? Humans can’t beat robots. They’re made of metal… hard, sharp, pointy metal.What are we going to do then?
They should just invent a way for people to look better without trying, or invent a pill to make girls I like lower their standards.
