Randomness Squared

Welcome to the future! Nope, just kidding. See, random! That is exactly what this next podcast is about. A brand new podcast! And guess what? It is TWO PEOPLE! That's right!

Me (Jake) and Melissa, who apparently just posted on Lava-Productions, has joined with me, I think it was her idea, not sure though, ANYWAYS, we are starting a podcast, and because it takes a little while for iTunes to recognize a new podcast and get everything set up I am putting it up here first. So, yeah. Here is the episode:

On a Tangent

So, what should I talk about today? Hm...Well I will be reading this out-loud on my podcast eventually, so. Why don't I just start talking, so the podcasts are longer than 5 minutes. Sorry, not quote for this one!

What is up with society these days? Have we turned to gladiator show, pitching teachers against actual wrestlers, have we pitched dads against each other only to let down their sons? What the heck? News programs are in a constant battle to be the first one with every story. Including ones about celebrities. Why should we even care? Leave the poor people alone. Every time I see a celebrity on a news show I am depressed and I feel sorry for them. News should be news, not, BRITNEY SPEARS IS BALD! Why should we care? TV sucks now-a-days. ABC seems to have the only quality program, aside from "The Bachelor", which is a stupid reality show...I hate reality programming. It just puts people against each other for our own entertainment.

I remember in 2006 when this marvelous, smart and funny show came out "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip". It obtained better ratings the "30 Rock" and was also funnier and smarter. BUT, NBC is just a stupid bunch of morons who spin around with a blind fold on throwing a dart into the next show they have to cancel because they have horrible ratings. Yes, I just made that up. Back to the news thing. You can never be the first, it is near impossible these days with the internet. Back to "Studio 60" See, I am jumping around a lot here, try and follow me here.

Aaron Sorkinn, also wrote "The West Wing" which was highly successful, and I still need to get the DVDs and watch it. Me wants it so bad. I wish "Studio 60" was still around, that way I wouldn't have to go around hating NBC, which I do. If you don't watch ABC Family, you should for two reasons. Reason 1: "Whose Line is it Anyway?" Nuff said, if you haven't seen it, you need to see it. And it is still a mystery to me why it got canceled. Reason 2: "Greek". Great show, in it's second season I believe. Very funny. Check it out. ABC seems to be on top of things with their programming. I love "Lost" "Grey's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives" all good Drama-Comedy's. So, yeah, enough on television. How about school...

School, a kids (not a baby goat's) worst nightmare. Homework-test-homework-test-homework-test and the repetition goes on and on. Doing the same thing every day. Going to the same classes every day. Getting up everyday. We are only kids and yet you are torturing us! I absolutely loathe my Spanish teacher (Feliz Cinco De Mayo, btw), "No writing while watching the movie" and the movie was in Spanish, English subtitles, questions in English, but we have to answer in Spanish. I was ready to blow my brains out half the time, AND we have a test on it tomorrow. HOLY CRAP! Pardon my language. My topics teacher put it best "I'm surprised you guys haven't dropped dead yet." It's true! She's a cool teacher.

Yep...What next? I'm not sure...Ummm...maybe I have worn out the tangent for this time. I'm sure you don't want to read all of this anyways so, I'll save more for later. SO thanks for reading/listening, subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, helps me get more attention. Which will be good for Lava-Productions and stuff like that. So iTunes link: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=277452921

So, yeah, that's all for now. Thanks for reading! ~Jake
