The Rise and Fall of Hypnotoad

It's fall and that means a bevy of things. Kids are out of our cool hangout spots and back in school. The number of available people for a "summer fling" has dwindled to nearly nothing but people on dating websites (I will write about that topic soon, I promise). And, most importantly, the fall line up has begun for the majority of shows.

For a lot of us, we our devoted to our shows. We know that Thursday night will be great because our three favorite shows will be on Channel X or that certain nights totally suck because the only thing on is American Idol. Don't act like that statement isn't true, that show takes up more time than the Olympics. I know for a fact my Saturday nights have been devoted to catching Doctor Who and my Thursdays have been devoted to Community, but this season has me worried. The Doctor has had only four episodes on and so far only one was good...the second two were dull and I fell asleep during the one last night.  Community hasn't started yet, but the director (original creator) has been replaced by some guy that has a terrible show with poor humor.

All hail the Hypnotoad!

Shows get cancelled all the time. There have been countless shows I have loved that were taken off the air and replaced with "stellar" shows like So You Think You Can Dance. Sure, it may take time to find new shows we can count on, but half the fun is the hunt. If that isn't enough for you, we can sure as hell enjoy the good memories when the cancelled shows we love come out on DVD.



Just Remember: We can always look back to shows that have made comebacks. Doctor Who was cancelled for several years before it returned. Same with Futurama. Sometimes it may take others a bit longer to realize how great something is.

So I'm a Delivery Boy?

The economy had a massive downturn in 2012. Some blamed it on national output while others blamed it on politicians. The poor blamed the wealthy. The wealthy blamed the poor. The middle class went out for a smoke because they only had five minute left on their break. As for me, I blame Andy. He knows what he did. That smug bastard.



Normally this would effect mainly college graduates, but it seems to be effecting everyone. Are you a recent college graduate attempting to reach for your dream job, but not finding any luck? Or are you someone that just lost their job because their company is "restructuring"? Hey, it's ok. It's never a shame to do something else while you are trying to get to where you want. Einstein was a patent clerk until he made major discoveries, Hemingway was a journalist when he was between books, and Richard M. Nixon was President of the United States before he became President of Earth in 3001.

Yes, it is scary and freaking annoying to get a new job, but who knows? Maybe you will get some funny stories out of it. I had to work at a stupid hotel for a while, but I gained tons of funny stories from that...like the time the horrible wedding guest head-butted a table. Heck, if Kevin Smith can write/direct/produce a movie about working in a convenient store, I'm sure that almost any job can be entertaining to some degree. You don't have to stay there forever, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do until things get better.


Just remember: The only failure would be to give up on your dreams all together.
