thanks man. i appreciate it. i have my art and i suppose that's is good enough. no salary will ever tell me i'm good enough. that has to come from inside and i know i am. i don't need a job title to know i can lead a creative team but a chance to do so would have been fun. i know i'm not going to have my turn at bat this go around. i'm okay with that now. i enjoy your posts. i have www.byronking.com with all my stuff. be well. take care. glad you are doing well. but be nice to be able to have creative direction with the work you do and get a paycheck at the same time.

I'm a nobody in the industry with 14 years of experience. I have never gotten a break, period. From a brain tumor, to fighting the war on terrorism. I still work in interactive design and have my passion for my art which is currently poetry and my project www.globatron.org. I love this post but wonder how you think about people who never got to work for these amazing companies or ever had a chance to wonder if they should leave them because they had to pay bills and support a family by doing whatever digital whoring job we had to do to get by. Just a little jealous I suppose.

This is a hashtag revolution. This is what democracy looks like.

Brilliant Joey. Troll Poll Dole Roll Mole. I didn't expect more or less. Sticks and stones I guess but you don't address the meat of my comment which is your lack of real content or soul on this blog.

But who will come to your defense? When you are surrounded by zombies why would a zombie defend your apathy?

Apathy is at the heart of the post-modern hipster. God is truly dead.

Why do you guys give such a frick about Jacksonville. I mean shit man. It's never going to change. The global economy is going down the toilet. We're entering a depression soon. All major economists are predicting a double dip recession that will possibly tear our country apart.

Also, there's an oil spill the size of Rhode Island about to eat our beaches. I wonder if any of you guys are talking about that tonight while sipping your PBR in your skin tight capri jeans. It just blows my mind how little you all seem to care about anything but Jacksonville and your pretentious hipster scene.

The fricking fate of the human race is in our hands and you all choose to talk about what's happening at the club tonight. What band is playing out? What decade Jax is going to get mass transit. It's truly sad.

What a waste of human potential. It's America though, what should i expect?

In attempt to find a job, Fake Steve, as I am currently unemployed I made this homage to the iPad.

What if the iPad actually changed the world? What if it brought us global peace and helped evolve the human race? Maybe taking it a bit far but who knows. I'm all for it trying.

SJR, you are becoming my best ally in this world of words. I really appreciate your support. I'm beginning to find peace in writing and it calls me. There is no guilt attached to it. There is no studio time I have to put in or weight of having to store big paintings. I am enjoying this journey now more than I could have realized knowing I can have words as an outlet. Thanks you.

Mr. Apathy needs another episode. Since the first one it's been three years and the world is more apathetic than ever.

Re: Healthcare Reform is Communism

globatron — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 10:21:52 -0000

The point is the similarities in calling anything that scares the right communist. It's McCarthyism all over again. The point is the similarities between this photo and the photos of the protesters at the town hall meetings. Just replace Race Mixing with Healthcare Reform and you have nearly the same people but much older or from a different generation protesting about something they are scared will change their white America.

I love the idea of creating Globatron dollars. Money is actually created out of thin air it would seem we could do the same thing. The first twenty five minutes of this movie breaks down the worthlessness of our currency and how debt and interest are a means of controlled slavery.

Re: Globatronics – A New Term for a New Age.

Exciting to see the evolution of Globatron into Globatronics. Globatronics sort of just rolls off your tongue too.

Looking forward to see the new developments of this new life form we call Globatron. I'm a true believer.

New portfolio design. Check it out tweeps. Wanted to keep the same layout but keep it more basic.

Re: Letter to the President #2

globatron — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 23:52:08 -0000

I must admit the emails asking for money are a bit unnerving but they don't upset me to this extent. I just see them as spam really and delete them. It's a good point to make but I think the anger in this letter is not the solution.

I personally can't believe that he is actually pursuing healthcare reform as he promised. That alone makes him a flipping hero in my book. No one expected him to follow through with it I don't think and he really is. With so much going on right now he's making it a priority. I give him respect for that alone. He is doing militarily what he said he would in Iraq. The economy is recovering from a recession and now we have a healthcare bill that will most likely turn into some sort of reform.

What does healthcare reform mean to you? I would be more interested in reading that, than a letter about your anger over a small part of a big big picture.

I'm sure it felt good to write this letter though. I'm glad you have a place to write a letter to the President.

This letter makes me want to write a letter myself and tell him how proud I am of him. I watch the news like a hawk and try to follow both sides of the debate on all headline issues. I'm truly amazed by what Obama has been able to do in such a short time as President. Thank you Mr. President for making healthcare reform a priority.

The Dream Lives On!!! I'm still at it. Ran two miles today at a nice clip. The workouts are becoming enjoyable and are giving me more energy after the end of the day.

Globatron is on week two of the fitness challenge. So far it has been enough incentive to get my little award each day by logging into the program and tracking my progress. Globatron has also started a clean eating diet of which he is on day two. He plans on developing a topless workout video by the end of the challenge to showcase the six pack in the refrigerator. He might remain clothed. That is sort of up in the air depending on the progress of the diet and exercise plan. How has your progress been?

Re: Get Waterboarded

globatron — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 09:01:24 -0000

Akbar I think your vision for the Waterblessing piece is wonderful. I can see it happening. The sound is not sound but experimental music. Maybe we can somehow incorporate the music into the project. I'm going to the space this weekend and will have more info on that soon. Love how you took my original concept and have turned it into something beautiful. That's the power of collaboration my friend. Truly divine.

Globatron will not be waterboarding himself for art. Sorry folks.

I thought we were getting a blessing. Now you speak of cigars. I'm confused. :) Did you intentionally make it so we can't figure it out? I felt my answers were dead on.

Re: Akbar’s Word Search #1

globatron — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 08:53:44 -0000

Can we try again? Also what does a blessing by Akbar consist of? Can we see the prayer that you will use to give us your blessing or is it some other sort of blessing. Interested.
