The Current Situation 8/2013

Ok heres the deal, For $30 I have a lady that comes to clean my house everyday, she has 9 children ages 10 - 3 yrs old and cant afford a car so I go pick her up and drive her home at the end of the day and she pays me $10 each way because she lives a little past Boulder City. 

 Anyway, last Friday I had a party and couldnt drive her home so I asked her if she'd like to stay and attend the party and afterwards she could sleep on an air mattress in the garage. She accepted and heres the problem: While at the party she had dinner ($25) 4 cocktails ($20) and spent the night sleeping in the Garage ($30) and I gave her a blanket ($5) and a pillow ($5). So she owes $85 and only makes $30 a day still owing $55 and if I driver her home thats another $10, so $65 and she doesnt have the money so she spends another night in the garage ($30) plus 3 meals a day ($30). So basically at any given time, after working all day, she is owing $85.

So now she is sad and crying and says she wants to go home and she cant call anyone because nobody she knows has a phone and she says she's worried and misses her children......I'm at a loss here & dont know what to do. Its like a Catch-22 ya know?

I think the only solution is to sue here in small claims court.

Business as Usual.......SANDUSKY!!!

Sept 1, 2012

The Crowd cheered as the Penn State Nittany Lions raced out onto the field for the beginning of a New and wonderful Season full of promise even though due to some "nastiness" it would not lead to anything but the scheduled games. No Post Season Bowl Games or any chances of a National Title......Nevertheless, the mood was positive and festive as the crowd cheered, screamed and waved their arms in the air.

Then during the silence of the Traditional Pre-Game Prayer some unexpected awful event happened when some person screamed "SANDUSKY!!" several times at the top of their lungs. It was awful and just ruined the moment and set a bad dark cloud over the whole stadium.

As the game went on these "SANDUSKY!!" screams and shouts could be heard all around the Stadium. It was horrible. After the Half Time show when the 3rd quarter resumed it got worse when the drunken student body section began chanting it "SANDUSKY!! SANDUSKY!!" and it seemed to spread to all sections of the Stadium as the good, decent and moral people with families and children began to leave.

At one point the game was stopped and the Officials on the field had the announcer communicate to the crowd that the game would be forfeited if the chanting did not cease. During the announcement the chanting went on and it did not cease but only got louder.

The game was stopped several more times under threat of forfeit but resumed to the end......THIS was the Penn State 2012 season with home and away crowds screaming madly "SANDUSKY!! SANDUSKY!!" and other vile and despicable remarks.

And it proved that No College Football Program, no matter how HIGH and MIGHTY and revered by even its most loyal fans are above the Moral compass of the people or the law......I imagine this chanting will go on for some years to come.....A worse penalty any Commission could ever impose.

Kind of hard to sweep Hundreds of Thousands of pissed off voices under the rug isn't it?

Cross-Eyed Fuck Face

It had been a routine day at the Courthouse with the comings and going of people in all sorts of attire, of all sorts of race, shape & size and I sat quietly on a bench in the 4th Floor Main Corridor working on a free-lance article I was doing for the Herald that had required me to be there to gather some facts....... Unknown to me at the time there was a Life Changing event taking place just down the hall in Court Room 4-C....

Court Room 4-C:

 Divorce Court. The Case of  Gerald S. Fienburg and Gloria A. Stanton Fienburg....The FINE Bergs, only everything was not fine. He was a well to do and prominent Personal Injury attorney with the ads on TV "Everything will be FINE with Gerald Feinberg"......Everything but his marriage to Gloria A. Feinberg that was.

 She had filed for the divorce and he was taking it quite hard as it hit him right out of left field. He never saw it coming and had been a good and loving husband. He had never cheated on her and treated her like a queen ever since and well before their illustrious over the top $350,000 marriage ceremony and honeymoon in the Swiss Alps and 3 month island hopping cruise back to the states. He was devastated and wanted a reason why and up to this point she had only stated through her Attorney Milton Goldstien, the well to do and prominent Divorce Attorney - Irreconcilable differences.

 And so the proceedings went on and played out as property matters were discussed and inevitably as these things go, the mood was getting uglier and uglier as both sides locked horns and it was a powder keg, a pressure cooker ready to blow and finally the fuse was lit when Jerry S. screamed at Gloria A.
                 "I don't give a fuck what you want! I will fight you Tooth and Nail for every dime until you
                   tell me WHY!! What have I ever done to you to deserve this. I LOVE YOU!
                   WHY?".......

 And it was then she had had enough and she exploded

                   "Every time you fuck me you have this CROSS-EYED FUCK FACE look and it creeps
                     me out! I cant stand it! Its all I ever see - Night and Day! I dread you, I dread seeing you
                     and knowing you will mount me again with that LOOK!

It was then that all Hell loose in the courtroom causing the Judge to call for order and a recess and that's when Ted Clark came running down the hall screaming "CROSS-EYED FUCK FACE!! CROSS-EYED FUCK FACE!!" I thought he was chasing after someone and then it occurred to me that nobody had run past me but him and that maybe he had just lost his god damned mind.

Later I learned of the entire facts and looking back now, I can say I wished I never had. I spend nights awake with insomnia thinking about what that face looked like and I wasn't the only one. Some people had taken the liberty on the Internet to photo shop Feinbergs photos. He became known worldwide as "The Cross-Eyed Fuck Face". Several tabloids and a National Syndicated Talk Show had offered him millions to have his photo taken while revealing the contorted look that so appalled his wife into divorcing him. He had shunned them all.

Meanwhile, the Ex-Mrs Feinberg had become a celebrity in her own right giving countless interviews on TV and radio Talk Shows each time giving her own account of the contorted "Cross-eyed Fuck Face" look. None ever seemed to be the same as in some she would have her tongue out and in others some variance forgetting to close & cross her eyes etc. She had even done sessions with profile artist giving an account of the look. But still the fact was it wasn't a photo of the original that everyone demanded to see.

Imagine waking up to the Hell of people screaming"One Eyed Fuck Face" at you non stop and laughing. It was no wonder the man had become a recluse holed up in his house and then finally the inevitable self inflicted gun shot to the face. It must have been his final "Fuck You" to the world to choose to put a shotgun to his face. And still in his death he will get no rest and be eternally known by this. In Fact, the cemetery had to move his plot to another unmarked location in the area so that vandals would stop desecrating his marker with pictures and "One Eyed Fuck Face" whatnot.

So I, as well as many others, will lie awake at nights wondering, but never knowing what The One Eyed Fuck Face really looked like.

Rock-n-Roll

I sat there satisfied. inebriated as my cock oozed out onto the floor..

I watchted entertained as they licked and scooped it up in thier mouths and hands and thier brains and whatever else they could use to collect it and they brought it back to me....

I asked them what I was supposed to do with it and they said:

Give it back to us again

Punk Rock Guerilla Marketing 101

1.Catch stray dogs & carve your bands name in their fur....Hell go all ART-SHIT on Everybody!!

.....Actually this is about a question I got and I thought it opened up a BIG Can of worms about Punk & Marketing. The question was:

"How did Nuclear Skull get Advertising in Metal Edge & Metal Maniacs? Did your Label buy this space for you?"

....The answer is NO!!...NO!!!....D.I.Y & Let it Fly doesn't mean include Labels and Managers etc, it MEANS = DO IT YOURSELF!!.....I once knew this woman who said "FUCK THIS!!!" and told the Decorators to "Lay Off" the Front door and on Saturday at 10am went to work on the door hammering and nailing up Things & Stuff while her work week, Mon thru Fri Husband was sleeping in, OR trying to sleep in. It didnt turn out well, but the point is - She tried and did it herself.

...And thats the answer to the question = I did it myself, and like in Real Estate and ALOT of other Scenarios I happened to be in the "Right Place at the Right Time doing the Right thing." To be more precise, I responded to the advertising address listed on ad space within a classified area within these magazines and followed the direction and paid $20 for 2 small lines in which I used minimum words for max efficiency & the www.nuclearskull.com contact......I did this for 8 mos or so wt CRAZY results of people sending Demos and ALL HELL BREAKING LOOSE......

.....So this went on for a year or so and BE AS IT MAY, what was going on is these 2 old ex-advertising industry Jewish ladies in Port St Lucie, FL. had this advertising scheme where they were soliciting numerous print magazines and buying several months of ad space in advance of STRAIGHT ACROSS THE BOARD orders and they got discounts, and so they were breaking up the ad space & re-selling it and this is how they were making money.

...As time went by living in FLORIDA, a Tropical Storm popped up, Several in fact, but one in particular that hit HARD and the old ladies either got BLOWN AWAY into the Gulf Of Mexico or they said FUCK IT!! We are out of here, OR I DON'T KNOW???? They just disappeared off the map. No return mail response, disconnected phone - GONE!

Somehow in "The SPIN of the Wheel of Life" in my then constant rabid obsession for promotion & The ROYALLY FUCKING BLESSED SON OF A BITCH I AM, with the absence of the 2 old ladies and contacting the magazines directly, I ended up taking over the entire 5 inch x 2 inch space for the whopping cost of $60 a month, and I bought a years worth of this advertising in advance. Now I don't know about now, but at the time these magazines had "legs" and traveled the world. As a result of this we got in front of ALOT of peoples faces and it didn't hurt that I was designing all the ads myself and was using the "M60 Machine gun Skull guy" with skulls leaking out of his barrel. It was crazy to say the least and not a day went by without receiving a stack of mail not to mention the net traffic.

Finally, the owners of the magazines sold out to another publishing company and "the writing was on the wall". In the transfer, I somehow was receiving billing statements for The Eddie Trunk Radio Show under my name (WTF right?) and in opening this mail I discovered that Eddie was paying $5000 a month for the same ad space!! I was informed that I would be "grandfathered" in on my ad purchases BUT after my time ran out I too would be paying this enormous price. I had a good run lets put it that way.

So that's the story. And I'm not selfish or greedy and will throw you guys a bone: If any of you out there reading this have bands or projects you want to promote (Music, Books,websites, etc.) there are still several outlets to get some great exposure on the cheap = Maximum Rock-n-Roll in San Fransisco, The punk rock bible, is one zine that has legs and travels the entire globe and offers up some really inexpensive ad space and packs a bang for the buck. Also there is RAZORCAKE out of LA. which is not as globally widespread as MRR, but still offers ad space on the cheap while getting you in front of the target audience. Also subscriptions to the above are highly advised and will defiantly improve your life with some good reading.

DIY & Let it Fly!!

"The NORMAL People"

OH the damned thing is caught the machine again!!....YOU"D THINK TECHNOLOGY had caught up wt the Beast and the demand of the damned thing!! SHIT!..
......GO and see what it is this time.....

And he marched out onto the Metal Hulk of the thing like it was a walk in the Park and the Park was flying through Space at the Speed of Light x 4 and any mistake was a No Man's Land. Instant Death...... And there he was marching out there like it was nothing and getting the job done again and again.....

.....Some said he was a Robot sent from Jesus to correct Humanity on the Right Path to do the Right thing for "The Normal People".....The Sun cooked so hot outside that it boiled thier blood at that high extreme temperature, Yet it still coursed strong through thier veins. It seemed like the Hotter it Got, The Hotter They got....

...... and They Burned like 1 Billion white Hot Molten Suns.....It was so hot that if you wanted to roast some marshmellows you wouldnt even get one out of the package Hot....

.....Walking through Time and Space touching wherever they may coursing through Eternity, Forever and Ever and Ever...

The END.

PS. Can I get some MORE $$$$ Money Now?
