Television; Friend or Foe?

Hard to tell.  Sometimes it is both... Sometimes its both at the same time.

With that being said, now I turn my examination of the boob tube to the latest in all of the horrid American offerings... The Jersey Shore.

About a year and a half ago I began working on a side project out side of my normal life of playing in a band and being a tattoo artist.  It wasn't started with a hope to change the world or to bring enlightenment to the world.  I hoped that if… Read full post »

I live in a city with just over 8 million people in it.  Kinda hard to make a splash when you are under a drop in the bucket.  Not even a blip on the radar of life.  In NYC they like to call it the capital of the world... As if… Read full post »
