BOYCOTT THE DVD RELEASE OF ZOMBIELAND ON FEBRUARY 2ND 2010

here is why:

Rhett Reese saw people posting on twitter about how they were downloading the new movie Zombieland online.  Rhett is one of the writers and directors of the recent blockbuster hit.  Rhett claims that the amount of people who downloaded Zombieland is going to ruin any chance of a sequel (boycott Zombieland 2 too!) and he feels like those who are downloading his movie illegally are ripping him off.

Read this article for his exact post:

Looks like Rhett has joined the likes of Lar Ulrich and other millionaires who have stood up to bitch about how people downloading their content is taking money away from them.  (I can’t wait for South Park to pick this up and make fun of Mr. Reese)

Now first let me clarify something for you.  I do not think that bootlegging content on the internet is right or that the people who downloaded Metallica or Zombieland should have done so.   I especially do NOT agree with people who download others original content and then use it to make a profit.

But there is one thing I hate more than anything in the world and that is bitching.
And this isn’t just bitching but unjustifiable whining and complaining about something that is not really drastically affecting the person who is doing the bitching.

Let me break it down for you, read this:
http://www.revolvermag.com/content/metallica-set-records-album-sales-and-concert-revenue

Metallica set breaking record sales and concert revenue.  In ONE show they made $1.6 million dollars.  That is all in one day for one show.  They just go on stage and play their music.  But that money is just not enough, they still have to bitch about people downloading their music.  And that is why I don’t listen to Metallica anymore, I smashed all their CD’s and I have been boycotting them since they stood up against Napster in 2001.

Once again let me reiterate, I do NOT support bootlegging.  I but I also don’t support BITCHING.  I never downloaded any Metallica songs,  I bought all their CD’s.  However, because they are arrogant money hungry bitches, I decided to stop listening to them and have been avoiding their music entirely.

Wanna guess how much money Zombieland has made in 2 months?
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=zombieland.htm

Well would you take a look at that!   Zombieland has grossed over 85 MILLION DOLLARS worldwide since it has been released.  85 MILLION DOLLARS!  I’d be happy to just have 1% royalty of 85 million!  Which I’m sure the director of the movie is getting much more than 1%… and that is just the money the movie has made in the 2 months it has been in theaters.  The DVD’s haven’t even hit the shelves yet!
So listen up Rhett Reese, stop being a whiny little bitch.  You are making your hard earned money off your movie AND you still making more money than the average American makes in a lifetime off just one flick!  Why don’t you quit whining, maybe if you weren’t so rich you could find something more constructive to do with your time than bitch about the money you didn’t make because people downloaded your movie.  Who cares!

Just like Metallica songs are played on the radio soon enough Zombieland will be on TV and everyone can watch it for free, so what does it matter anyway.  You are still just a rich bitch.

You know who deserves a license to bitch about people bootlegging their work?

The poor starving artist that are struggling to survive.
The guy who sits on the street corner and plays his guitar or sells his sketches.

The people that struggle to find time around their busy jobs to sit down and paint or draw or perform music and create, not for the money but for the passion.

The hard working artist who don’t have corporate sponsorship or million dollars to back them up.
The struggling artist that has to support himself with a 9-5 job.
I’m talking about the starving artists, the ones that struggling to make it in life.
I commend them and I commend what they are doing and I would much rather spend my $5 on them instead of going to see a stupid zombie movie in an over priced theater that was directed by some rich bitch.

So Rhett, Lars and any other rich bitch who wants to complain about how people are bootlegging their content, why don’t you come up with a creative way to prevent it…  better yet, why don’t you take all you have and give it to the poor.  Only then can you enter the kingdom of heaven.

PS:  Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails released the album Ghosts free to the internet via torrentz and Radiohead offered free downloads of their CD In Rainbows prior to the CD release.   Both of which were a huge success.  I commend them both and all other artist out there who create for passion and not for money.  I support you today and will continue to support all the artists who stay true to themselves and their art.

So as many of you know, this past weekend involved “Black Friday” the biggest shopping day of the year. So I’m watching the news and these two stories jump out at me… At a New York Walmart an employee is trampled to death after a mob of shoppers tear down the front door and stampede in to get amazing deals! they had a 50″ PLASMA TV for $800!!! OMG! WOW! I totally need one of those! uhh… is that someones skull under my feet? oh well! they ALWAYS have low prices! Besides you can save MONEY! and LIVE better! Well… except for this guy:

But its not just the East Coast that had a very dark Black Friday this last weekend. On the West Coast 2 women were arguing in a Toys-R-Us, probably over the last Hannah Montana Singing Doll on the shelf. I imagine they were both insisting that their daughter was going to get the doll for Christmas. Well I guess their husbands both decided to take matters into their own hands and both pulled their straps out and shot each other to death as terrified customers ran for cover. I guess neither of their daughters are getting Hannah Montana this Christmas, or to ever see dad again.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!!

~Computers Are Cool~

So today I have decided to make a difference. I’m going to make a stand for personal freedom and liberty by boycotting every major corporation in America. I’m going to start this boycott by talking about:

Yes the giant corporate steamroller, coming to areas and plowing over every small business there with their LOW LOW LOW prices. Yet like mindless sheep people of towns and cities across America stop shopping at their local business to go to the super-center. Eventually these small “mom and pop” shops go out of business and even the property their store is on has decreased in value because of the ominous Walmart that was built up the road. Think about it people, when you shop at a corporate business you are circulating your money through that corporation. Wouldn’t you rather shop local and circulate your money through your local community? Don’t you realize the more you benefit your local economy the better chance you have of it bettering you. Walmart can sell for less because they have so many stores that they can buy such a large quantity from manufactures that the price break is phenomenal. Most of these manufactures are from other countries! The more you support the nationwide economy the closer you push us to a single global economy. That is not what I want! I support individual freedoms and liberties. The ideas that this country was founded on! Not economic slavery to a government that controls both my money and my ability to do what I want. Isn’t it amazing how many personal freedoms have been stripped from Americans in just the last 100 years!?! So stop shopping at Walmart… unless you want to be a slave to the global enterprise.

Now we have walmart destroying small business and runing local economys and then you walk inside and what do you see:

Now I know not every Walmart has a McDonalds in it. But a lot of them do! And for every Walmart in America there is probably at least 2 or 3 McDonalds within a few miles. Now I’m sure many of you have watched “Super Size Me” and seen how McDonalds is really bad for your health. But have you ever thought about how much money is poured into that business on a daily basis. American are paying for suicide through delicious hamburgers! MmmmMmmmmMM Burgers! LoL But now stop thinking about the burgers and how unhealthy they are for you. Anyone can cook unhealthy food, hell some of the crap my ex girlfriend used to cook looked (and tasted) pretty damn unhealthy. But think about the money you make and where you spend it and also what those business or corporations are doing with that money. Is it ever going to get circulated back to you? Well unless your a McDonald employee then probably not. Now think about this for a moment. When you buy food items from McDonalds, HEB, Walmart or any major corporation where does that food come from? Huge farms and factory’s that harvest and process it. What about your local farmer? what about the people that grow their own vegetables, raise their own cattle and try to sustain themselves through their own food production? That is who I want to support, not the corporate farmers that can put any product they want into our food supply. I want to get my food like they did over 100 years ago, from a neighbor or grown myself. That is why I say screw the corporate food business and buy from your local farmers market. Remember, support your local economy, its a stand against globalization.

Now next on the agenda of corporations I am boycotting and very much dislike:

Now many of you are thinking “why starbucks!?!” “I love their coffee”
NO
NO NO NO
This is CRAP!
Do you realize how much money you a pissing away each year on this CRAPPY coffee thats not really that good, overpriced and not much different from coffee ANYWHERE ELSE! You can go to any small local coffee shop and buy the SAME coffee made from the SAME machines for the SAME price (or less) but because it has the crappy Starbucks logo you want to go there! Stop and think about it people, spend your money on the business that you want to support and not because of a brand name or logo or popularity. Besides Starbucks is WAY overpriced anyway! Spend your money on small business and local economy, people that will come go out and support other local business and help grow your local economy. The more you support corporations the more you shackle yourself to eternal economic slavery. So Stop!

Ok next on my list of corporations I’m going to point the finger at today and say I will not support is:

Yeah their computers suck, their customers service sucks, their marketing sucks, and yes they are also overpriced. If you want a decent computer for a good price I recommend building it yourself. Its not that hard or expensive and you might learn something in the process. But please don’t buy a Dell, buy purchasing yourself a dell computer your showing dell that people will actually buy their crap and also giving them money to produce even more crappy computers. So go shop somewhere else!
While I’m on the subject of computers I would like to add that

Yeah, I hate windows Vista… don’t install it, don’t use it, its a piece of crap! If you have it down grade to XP!

Here is the easiest corporation to argue against:

Notice the slogan: “I came, I saw, I conquered”
Why do we even give these cigarette corporations our money? To kill ourselves, so we can die and not worry about the world we pass on to our children to take care of! Well I like smoking, it was definitely a hard habit to conquer. But I conquered it! I realized how much of my hard earned money I was giving to this huge corporation for NO REASON at all! So I stopped buying cigarettes and I recommend the rest of you do the same. Think about every dollar you spend and where it is going. Are you spending it for the right reason? Or for selfish reasons? Look at the whole picture, the global picture, look at the direction things have been headed for the last 100 years, and then how they have progressed over the last 10 years! Money is used to control you. Don’t be a slave to it and PLEASE don’t give it back to the slave masters.

One last corporation I forgot to mention:

WHERE IS THE JUICE!?!
thats right, where is the juice!?!
I go to so many restaurants to eat and when I look at the selection of soft drinks all I see is: Soda, Soda, Soda, Water
WHERE IS THE JUICE! Where is the 100% all natural caffeine free delicious fresh squeezed JUICE! Why is it that everywhere I go coke or soda is practically forced down my throat? Well I’m sick of it! Sodas are packed full of sugar and caffeine and horrible for your health. They will give you pimples and make you fat! Yet it is still practically forced down our throats! Well let me remind you of something. The stronger and healthier your body is the stronger and healthier your mind is. Remember that! The more you let your body deteriorate and be destroyed by the things you consume the weaker your mind will become. So eat healthy, promote a healthy lifestyle, avoid fast food, support your local economy and do what I do, avoid these corporations that want to dumb us down, strip us of our personal freedoms, drop computer chips in all of us and make us their slaves.
I for one will stand up against them. Who is with me?

Remember, the #1 priority of a corporation is its responsibility to its share holders to increase the return on their investment. In other words their #1 priority is to MAKE MORE MONEY. Usually with no regard to individuals, communities, the environment or the world.

~Computers Are Cool~

it will open your eyes…

Part 1 – The Greatest Story Ever Told – 0:00:00 to 0:40:40
Part 2 – All The World’s A Stage – 0:40:40 to 1:14:40
Part 3 – Don’t Mind The Man Behind The Curtain – 1:14:40 to 2:02:09

I would highly recommend watching Part 3 if you disagree with part 1 or part 2. I found it to be the most interesting (although it is all very interesting) Also, don’t just believe everything you hear. This goes not only for this movie but for EVERYTHING. Do your own research, come to your own conclusion.

And then the new one….

Its not too late to change…..

~Computers Are Cool~

I would like to start this blog with a little advertisement for
http://www.factcheck.org/
exposing the politicians for who they are… lying, slandering scoundrels…
don’t believe what your told, check the facts first! then make an informed decision.

Now to continue with our regularly scheduled blogging…..

The year is 2008 and after a long tyranny of political injustice President George Bush is going to be REPLACED!

HORAAYY!!!

LOL

ok so we have 2 major candidates running for supreme ruler of America (aka President)
So I have decided to take some time out of my day this beautiful Sunday and overview the two candidates and my personal opinion on both of them. Should be fuNNN!!!

So lets begin…
I would like to introduce to you today, the technologically impaired, too old to last all 4 years, this man thought the world wide web was created by Spiderman…. let me get a warm round of applause for:

Mr. John McCain

LOL Ok so seriously now… look at the guy! He has just started to be able to get on the internet “without supervision” This guy can barley check his own email! He thinks you should call your dentist when you have problems with your bluetooth! He’s so old he has a heart attack every time he sneezes! Plus, he is a republican and do you really want to trust them after Bush? I didn’t think so. He wants us to stay in Iraq for who knows how long, he is on the same political agenda as the Bush administration and he will continue to take away our personal freedoms and drive our economy into a deeper rut. He is constantly contradicting himself on important issues taking the stance that is most appropriate at the time and never sticks to his guns on his opinions on important issues. In fact is seems as though he takes whatever side of the issue he is instructed to take.

Remember guys, the ultimate goal is 1 world government!

Ok enough about McCain… for all you conservatives that are voting republican because its what your parents did or because you’ve just “always been a republican” I think you need to re-think your stance and think about what is best for EVERYONE as a whole (in the world) Open your eyes and see the hidden agenda now before all our freedoms are taken away.

And were back! Welcome back to The Mind at Nathan Goodfellow (dot us)
and we continue our program with (cue nothing but a G-Thang)
and now introducing the man who asks for change, gives change, promises change, and changes his underwear every day!
let me get a resounding “whoop whoop” for:

Mr. Barack Obama!!!!

HA HA That picture makes me laugh!
Ok now everyone keeps telling me about Obama and change, change, change, change
Were gonna change this
were gonna change that
change the economy, change the war, change the goverment, change the people
change change change
Well NO SHIT!
have you looked at the stock market or the cost of gas recently? Look at how most people feel about the government right now and whats going on in America
OF COURSE WE NEED CHANGE! Thats what everyone wants is CHANGE!
but what kind of change? change for the better, change for the worse or just different?
I’m sorry everyone, this may be unfounded and I just might be crazy (Yes)
but I don’t trust Obama… I agree he is a much better choice than McCain but he sounds like someone who is telling me what I want to hear and not the truth (my ex girlfriend used to do that all the time)
Also I am positve that he is going to win the presidential election, I believe that to have been predetermined and sadly to say, I don’t think my vote or anyone elses vote will change that. The question is, what is his real agenda going to be once he is in office. Is he going to bring the kind of change that is best for the people of the world or is he going to be even more devious and destructive than those before him. I do not know.
What I do know is what I’m going to do on November 4th 2008. I can and will not in right mind and concious cast a vote for either of these candidates. Yet I refuse to throw away my opportunity to make my statement to the world (despite the fact that I still believe voting to be pointless and elections rigged) Instead of casting a Republican or Democrat vote, Instead of supporting McCain or Obama, I will instead take the opportunity to WRITE IN this man who did not make the ballot:

Senator Ron Paul

p.s. I’m sorry Stephen Colbert… you were my second choice…..
