The News Sucks
Right now on CNN.com, the leading story with the big ass picture is about one of their anchors getting boyfucked by a priest. Then they have additional headlines. 4 of the 12 headlines are entertainment headlines. This isn't to mention the actual news stories that are written in an entertainment style.
Richard Jeni is dead, Danny Bonoduce is making fun of Rosie, Regis is having bypass surgery and Actor Fred Tompson is eying the White House. Who the fuck cares? Obviously a lot of people, and they are the ones who need to be punched in the face. Read the entertainment section and get this fucking shit off the main pages.
I just hate it all. I need a good reputable news site. I like to read straight AP stories but you usually have to pay for that. I can't find a decent inevasive website for straight AP. When I have the time, I will find my source.
I just hate it. Here I am, with the time and energy to write and there is no content. So I decide to bitch about the lack of content, but it just feels so unrewarding. So trivial. I think I'll just talk about myself.
I will be getting on the air in a DJ capacity soon. I'm on the air all the time with my amazing commerical works, but this will be different. I will finally have a chance to be Matt on the radio. I will finally be able to entertain the masses. I'm excited. I know my first few shows will blow, but I'll get better and son enough I will be in a position where I am making people laugh their asses off and piss their pants while they're driving. That's my real goal anyway. To make people piss their pants while they listen to me on the radio.
I'm working full time now at the radio station. Doing a lot of good work. Like I said, I voice a lot of commercials but I produce way more than I voice. I would say I produce around 80% of the commercials that air on both of our radio stations. I'm a creative guy, as you know. I do a lot of good work here. The best part is for 3 hours in the moring I get to sit as a desk, like I am now.
It's amazing. I am very lucky, but I got here with a ton of hard work. It wasn't long ago that I declared on this website that I was going to Radio school and getting into this amazing business. And now I'm here, in record time. The determination of a mad man. That's my secret, you know. It's not that I'm some God living amoungst the homosapians. It's not like I'm Jesus reborn. The secret is this: I am absolutely fucking insane, but I have a strangle hold on the insanity. And to control that shit is what gives me this freakish determination and drive. I'm very lucky.
I'll go one step further. I'll tell you the secret to my entire being. Imagine your ears, eyes, your taste, all of your senses as a receiver. A box-like receiver. Everything you hear, see, taste and feel go right through this receive and into your brain. Well my receiver isn't a rectangle. It's a fucked up cock-eyed crazy shaped box. So when all of this stuff goes through my receiver, it bounces around and enters my brain in a completely different way.
Then I talk about it, or write about it. You say "What the fuck?" or "I never though about it that way." It's good fun, all for the people. The people who read and listen to me. I'm an entertainer. That's all I want to do, and I believe I have to goods for it. I believe I have the natural ability to entertain, in one way or another.
I'm done talking about myself now I believe. I just wanted to babble about something and I think about myself enough to where I knew I had something to talk about. I hope some good news comes around soon. I need to learn to talk about things other than news. That's my real issue I believe. I need to be pissed off to write, and the happier I get the less motivated I get. I'm understanding now. Solutions developing.

I agree with you regarding what passes for news these days, but you probably knew that anyway. I look to a variety of sources for news information everyday. I also look to particular writers for opinions on the news. Take none of it as Gospel and look for dissenting opinions, then draw my own conclusions.
Keep up the hard work. You will go far. Take care of that family.
What Ken said. You are one of the several places I look for information and when I see a story that's interesting I read your opinion on it, try to find information from an actual news site somewhere, and that works out. The news is 24 hours, there's not newsworthy stuff that happens 24 hours a day, so they need to come up with some shit to fill up the empty space. Unfortunately the empty space now seems to be when there are no celebrities doing stupid things, maybe the hour between 3 and 4am? We're in a fucking war in Iraq, people are dying, I'd like to hope we're accomplishing at least something over there, perhaps the media could maybe talk about what's going on over there. Stuff that the average American can't find out by just picking up a supermarket tabloid. The sad part is what makes the news is what will boost ratings, which is what people want to see. People don't care about the country, they care about what's going to happen to the baby of Anna Nichole Smith. They don't vote in elections, and they don't care about politics. They want their celebrities and they want them now.

Well said, Zack.
