Daytime Tv and Unemployment Blues


Hello all, so I've been unemployed for sometime now and besides applying for jobs online, by mail, and in person, I have been trying to stay sane. When you have a shit-ton of free time, you mind tends to go a little crazy. I end up for the most part in the mourning watching TV in my underpants, eating cereal. Finally times are a changing, and I've been accepted into the U of MN teaching program to be a biology teacher. I'm super happy, but I feel like this whole time I should have pursued another career that I feel totally confident I can do well. Maybe its all the daytime TV but I think I could be an amazing jingle writer.

Jingles you say? Why would you want to do that? Those stupid songs get stuck in my head all the time?! Well, I answer I want to be that jackass who writes a catchy tune and makes you slowly go crazy. Think about it, Jingles are sweet as hell! You get paid for writing a 20 second tune! shit I can do that in my underwear and while eating cereal. Plus, some people find these jingles to be heart warming, bringing out happy thoughts of there childhood. Anyone remember coco-wheats and how they can't be beat? I remember that tune, despite never eating them, and you know what, I'm happy cause it showed during cartoons. Also, a while back Goldfish changed their jingle from "I love fishes cause there so Delicious" to some other thing about them be baked and not fried. I don't even care cause the second jingle sucked so much. I think many would agree and strongly urge you all to write to Goldfish to set things right.

I am going to flat out say it, I think the freecrdit report guys are cool! Those songs are funny! In the jingle community they totally top 1-800-588-2300 empire...today and "Gimme that Fillet-o-Fish" which FSN has to show 60 times a hockey game. Its just so weird.? Well, because of my love for these credit commercials I did some investigating with the help of Ronnie Waldjawkowski. I found that the lead guy is Eric Violette, and he is French Canadian. http://www.ericviolette.com/index_eng.php and apparently he is only an actor who is dubbed by another person for the commercials! I know, Sad! It was probably for the best, just watch Jacues Lamier of the Mn wild to get an understanding of how his English is and you have "french canadian". It would be pretty boring if he sang like that too. Well, going over his resume, this guy apparently has martial arts training so I'm hoping to see if they utilize that in the next commercial. Holy shit, this dude put his number online I could call him right now?...

Anywho, If someone just gave me a chance I think I could sell some stuff with some sweet grooves. Maybe the Sham-wow! can't sell it self, maybe a jingle may be helpful:

So I threw a big party,
and my friends all barf,
Spilled beer and booze, and now my carpets all fucked,
But its OK, Its all right,
Cause I'll just Sham-wow that shit out tonight!


FreeCreditReport if other screw your credit. Just as a personal note, my roommate does pay rent regularly. Thanks Steve couldn't do it with out you!


So my roommate, yeah my buddy,
didn't pay the rent, and now my credit is bad
So I can't open up my dojo and make some money
and now I'm fighting crime as a part time job instead


No I can't get a loan, for a fuckin' dojo
cause my roommate thought it was better to buy beer instead
so now I'm in tights and a mask handing out business cards
to guys i just beat the head.


So there you have it, untapped talent just sitting in underwear waiting for paychecks to start rollin' in.
