Nothing Good Comes Out From Working with Toys

I don't know why I continue applying for these idiots. I'm already losing money from purchasing lunch on campus to going to the movies and making purchases to please myself be it a new manga volume or a new t-shirt (I still don't know whether or not I should regret buying this DuckTales t-shirt yesterday or not). By the time I looked at how much was still left in my pocket, I knew that soon, I would be back asking my parents for cash. This was a route I didn't want to take. I applied everywhere from Sears to K-Mart to today's victim of my hate Toys R Us. Why should anyone apply to work for them is anyone's guess? The store continues to send me e-mails about me not being good enough to work at any of their positions especially that of a team member where I would begin as a cashier and slowly working myself up the corporate ladder until I become a manager. At this point, I rather be the manager so that I can make other potential candidates feel bad rather than the other way around where I have to fall victim to being left out in the cold while having to hear on the news or read online about the biggest lie coming from one of the country's biggest toy stores. I mean what do I have to to get the company's attention?

I'm not even going to bother with them anymore. They can go on and hire some newbie fresh from college for all I care. I'm surprised that people my age and lower can get a job and I can't. Is it because of me being in school? That was one of the reasons I was applied to work at Shopper's World but also was mistreated there. Guess this means that this Christmas, I'm not going to get anything. Good bye my future copy of Toy Story 3  Blu-Ray+DVD+Digital Copy Combo Pack. Good-bye to that Combo Pack copy of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Blame the corporate roulette that chooses candidates that the store think are good enough to work for the company even though there are plenty of people out here who can do much better with their job descriptions than they ever could.   

Stop Complaining PTC!

Hey, what do you know? I'M BACK!! What's new? Well not much except the PTC (Parent Television Council) complaining about three of the members from Fox's 'Glee' being in provocative photos with GQ Magazine publishing the photos and actress Dianna Agron having having a defense and an apology. Agron's sorry for the photos while the magazine says that the actors are old enough to do what they want. I have to agree that everyone's complaining about nothing. First, there's porn. There's so much of it that no one from any adult group, from what I remember, have complained recently about wanting to protect kids from adult images online and in your local 7-11 store. Here's the thing: the PTC, about two weeks ago, was complaining about Miley's new European single turned "adult" music video with her gyrating with boys and girls. I can't say a lot about both stories since there have been so many web sites discussing about these issues, all I can say is stop complaining. The PTC's worse than me having to write about everyday being a bad one because of past regrets and feeling that I don't have a lot of close friends. My words may not have a lot of strength to make sure that the PTC's weakened to the point of being turned away from its responsibilities of being the parents for children with parents who think they're good providers yet not the best to guard them from material that they'll see once they get to my age. Let's all complain about something else such as Taylor Swift's popularity. At age 20, how many more break-ups does she need to go through to create song after sone about heartbreak. recovery, and finding a better guy in her life? It's all been done and those themes have been covered in other songs written and sung by those who have been around the block about 25-40 years. Time to sing about something else sister.

Here's the link of one of the two stories covering the PTC babying children from celebs they've come to adore:

'Glee' Photoshoot Too Sexy? Yeah right.

'Tower Prep' "Pilot" Review Part 1

With three shows dead in the water for the fall, I decided to take the chance to watch CN's newest live-action series taking another look in high-school life: Tower Prep. It begins with a fight where our protagonist (Drew Van Acker) who looks like he just came out from an Abercrombie and Fitch photoshoot takes part in a fight to protect a lowly freshman when he's sent home only to end up having a good ol' family dinner, playing an MMO only to talk with a player named Whisper119 and end up in a preparatory school the next morning. From here, he tries to figure out how he got to the school and planning an escape. What made me laugh from the first 15 minutes of the show is how easy you can recognize characters such as the potential rivals and love interest and calling bullshit when the head master informs Ian about why he was brought to the school with saying that it was a "lucky guess" when he brings up a past memory that might have a connection with his out-of-control behavior. Then again, after one fight and a brief tiff with another student in his new dorm, there's not a lot of fighting per say but then again, it's just the pilot. Oh did I mention that he might have the power to drown out sound. Either that or he have some faulty software. There's also something called The Program where, from what I'm guessing, is a program training young minds to learn to enhance their special abilities. So yeah, that last part will make you think of X-Men but let's see how this show goes. More about this episode later.

Gosh, I have a TV Show. Napoleon's Back.

While browsing around online, I came across this little piece of information. It turns out that we're getting an animated series based on the film Napoleon Dynamite. I have been tracking down this little project since Toonzone.net had talked about it earlier this August and I really like the character designs. They all look like the characters they're representing and though the show might be too little, too late, who knows how funny it will be? At least it will be on a faster pace than the film itself which, while funny, felt too long though it wasn't anywhere near the 100 minute mark. If anyone checks it out, let me know what you thought of it. In case anyone's expecting this to die a short death, it's only six episodes.

Mid-Term Bombs

What is this pit in my stomach? Is it heartbreak? I had to go through that all of last week. Is it hunger? No, I had to deal with that everyday but won't get to filling myself up until around 12, 11 this morning at the latest. It's the feeling of guilt and disappointment as I have to deal with the final three mid-terms along with having upcoming projects that I haven't worked on because of my own laziness and the feeling that the teachers should have given us some more time to prepare ourselves. I was blessed to receive a B for my first mid-term of the semester though I had to cram a bit a couple minutes before that class began. I was feeling so sure about myself around then but forgot to give all of my devoted attention to studying for both Main Currents in American Literature and Principles of Film and Media Production. *sigh* It's days like these that I wish Maryland had balls to actually keep us out of school until tomorrow. That would have given me more time to study the latter class but brings me one inch closer to dealing with Ms. DC again.

Ms. DC's the reason why I don't want to take this exam. Like Mr. L, I was given a brief account of what would be on the mid-term. The bad news was that it would be more analysis over many bodies of work from the likes of Emily Dickinson, President Abe Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and many more. I wished that I, along with the rest of the class, was told about the authors that we specifically have to study for this test rather than re-read everything from the beginning of the semester until last Thursday because this led me to receiving a D+ for Origins of Western Art. Teachers need to be better prepared is all as well as me. Then again, I was told that retaking classes from my last major would be a waste considering that my current major or a future interest in being in Mass Communication would me that I would need about two semesters or three until I can graduate. Oh boy. /:
