Hard to believe isn’t it?
The first month of 2010 is now at an end.
How are everyone’s New Years resolutions coming?
How is life in general going?
Mine’s good, thanks for asking … well you didn’t but I know you wanted to.
My resolutions seem to be going well also … again I know you wanted to know

So far 2010 hasn’t been that bad of a year.
Not a lot has changed, so not a lot to talk about.
Just sitting here listing to Johnny Cash sing ‘Sunday Morning Coming Down’
Trying to think of hot topics to talk about, and or something important in the news.
Hum, politics have been kind of boring, news even more so.
I guess that leaves me with hot topics?

OK then, Hot Topics … how is it that we have a store for people trying to dress outside of the norm?
I mean, in most areas there is only the one store that sells stuff like that so how original are you when you buy something form there and go out in it.
Yes, to the other 95% of us we all look over and ponder how nice it must be to have so much excess money that we could go but clothing that no one else really wants.
If that is your ultimate goal, let me take you to ROSS and we can hook you up for less then $5.

I would like to think that I understand the Goths and some of the other sub-cultures in some way or another.
Even though they will say that I just can’t understand them because I have not been touched by the soul of Jim Morrison or the pain of the life lessons of some other singer.
That being said, you ever notice that most of these people these other people are looking up to don’t do the same things that they expect there fans to do?
(I think that sentence is right …)
Yes, some of the performers do get full body tattoos and piercing, but the majority of them don’t.
They also don’t shop at Hot Topic …
Why is it that we can’t convince people now and days that this is an act?
(Cough Pro Wrestling, cough cough)
This is what they do for a job.
I am pretty sure that when Amy Lee of Evenescene goes on vacation to spend our well spent money, she is not all upset and thinking about killing herself.
I mean as she is sitting there on a world tour drinking champagne looking over her vista of Paris.
Yep, that’s when I think I would think about killing myself.

I read a quote once and it has stuck with me veer since.
“I want to be different, just like everyone else!”
That’s what Hot Topic is to me.
A store for people to go and be different, just like all of there friends and idols.
All of this being promoted by big business and capitalism to help promote sadness and suicidal thoughts in our youth.
So, thanks big business!
The next time a musician dies, and then a child takes there life because they felt that this artist was the only one who understood them and is now gone because of the music you wrote for them and pushed a pone our society.
Well, I hope that you not only get dragged to the funeral to bare witness, but also into the court room to be forced to face your punishment.
Because something tells me that this worlds punishment would be better for you then the next life’s …

PS: I hate lobbyist‘s!
