We Live Vicariously.

College and Job hunting.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. At least, I’m sorry to the few that actually watch me. Currently I’ve been looking into Full Sail, and today I sent in a request for their information package. I can’t wait to get my hands on it and see what’s within. On the other side, I’ve also been looking for a job. Which sucks. So, I’m hoping Barns & Noble could use me. I’ll be putting that application in today or tomorrow. Depends on when I go. I need the money, for various things, one being college. Another being the Novit Falcon controller, and this MP3 player docking station!

Hopefully my dreams will come true. Rofl.

Choke: A book by Chuck Palahniuk.

Choke, another masterpiece by Chuck Palahniuk. He’s once again suprised me with his genius, this book is put together quite like Fight Club, piece by piece. Each piece drawing you further into the story, confusing you.. then giving you a moment to process the events occuring. The story is rather intersting. A man named Victor Mancini, a medical-school dropout, needs to pay elder care for his mother. He does this by pretending to choke on pieces of food in high class resturants. He lets people “save” him. These saviors feel responsible for his life and send money, supporting him.
On the side, he vistis him mother and works at a colonial theme park. He spends time at sexual addiction recovery workshops for relaxation.

It’s a great and easy read. I recommend it!

The reason behind the blog name.

The blogs name is derived from a song by the band Tool. The songs name is “Vicarious”, it’s about the thrill the public receives from hearing about the misfortunes of others in the media, despite their refusal to admit it. This is mostly true, I believe so at least. The song itself is very enthralling. You’re drawn into its magnificence. It’s something different The sound complements the message behind it. Both are executed perfectly.

I’ve drawn my inspiration from that song, and so it became the name of this blog.
