One of my favorite pastimes other than making music is going out to listen to my favorite artists. I have seen many wonderful concerts, but recently I saw both one of the best concerts I have seen in a while and heard one of my new favorite albums ever released for free. At least in my Top 5. The artist is Tim Fite (otherwise known as Little T of "Shaniqua" fame).

Those who don't know him, Tim Fite is an artist in his own right. He creates cartoons, mini books, and even has great albums that are both on sale and for free. One of which is named Under The Table Tennis, the flipside of Over the Counterculture. Where Tim once railed against consumerism and a fake reality on "It's All Right Here", Tim Fite now shakes his head at the fact that we wound up in a recession, and creates a soundtrack for the time. On the album, he puts himself in the place of a carpenter who loses his house in "For-Closure", boasts about the fact that he's heavily employed in "Jobs", talks about lack of healthcare coverage in the upbeat "Not Covred" (no, that's not a typo), and also turns the dialogue we are all familiar with into a wonderfully silly tune on "Money Back" (personal favorite!).

I watch the G4 network almost as much as I watch the movie channels. They usually have a constant flow of Attack of the Show or Xplay on. I love these shows. They're very informative and extremely funny, but I would be lying if I said I didn't watch them to also be a creep and drool over Olivia Munn. Holy crap - she is hot!

Although this might seem cliché, there is a reason for it. You would be surprised how far good posture will go. It’s an important body language signal that tells everyone in the room “I’m approachable, friendly and you want to get to know me”. Both men and women are drawn to someone who looks like they are having fun and are fun to be around. Next time you are out at a bar, pay attention. You will rarely see someone who slouches and avoids eye contact with with a crowd of people around them. More Here...

I already know what half of you are going to say. I know: "NOBODY READS ANYMORE!" Sadly this is kind of true. BUT! If you are trying to impress a semi-intelligent woman in a first conversation, you might want to know a few books to talk about.

I know, reading isn't as easy as watching TV or playing video games but it can be more rewarding than these; I promise, even though I sound like a teacher.  So if you have some free time this summer, maybe go into a Borders or Barnes and Nobles (if you don't catch on fire when walking in) and look for some books that suit you.
