I stumbled across something yesterday and thought of you guys! I’ve personally never gotten into comic books over the years except for Richie Rich, Archie and the Gang, and maybe a few others; but, nothing serious.
Well, actually I didn’t “stumble”. It was more like I was pushed there… :eek:
On my fairly “new” MySpace account’s bulletin board yesterday, I found a note from one of my now 8 friends. Prior to yesterday, I only had 7 friends. Now I have added Students of the Unusual , who other than what I have just discovered I know nothing about and with whom I have no common interests…but, I 'll take all the friends I can get 
Except, I don’t want those men who are just trolling MySpace pages to get laid.
So, if you are one of those, don’t click my link.
Wow, that sounds kinky. That may because I should be in the bed sleeping right now instead of posting this extremely long, mundane pointless stuff that I must share so that my cousin can be a winner in life…
This is what it said…
He had indicated the “Subject” as “Help me win at life.” Being the wonderful cousin that I am, I want to help him feel like he is a winner at life. Wouldn’t you? I mean, I’ve seen him naked! He probably wouldn’t remember those days, but I do. I’m old, I remember things! It’s not what you are thinking! GROSS!
Not only do I want him to succeed…I want to see him write a song where he says all of the MySpace names of everyone who votes for him.
He is a talented young man who has a lot of interests. I have told him over the years that he needs to take a look at the SDMB because I think he could find a home here. I’m hoping though that he doesn’t usually write without capital letters or he will drive me insane.
Students of the Unusual is according to a blurb that I found in their Myspace Blog the cutting edge horror adventure comic book series which features the adventures of homeless storytellers, zombie rock icons, mystical tattoos of power, obscure monsters of legend and so much more. With stunning illustrations, another cover artist Jorge Alderete (Dr. Alderete) was recently honored with inclusion in Taschen’s “Illustration Now” featuring the top 150 commercial illustrators in the world. Plans are now being made for the publication of the latest issue with the winners of the Students of the Unusual Song Contest included in a special commemorative CD insert. See patrial list of musicians and bands involved here
So, bottom line…
Check out the Students of the Unusual if you enjoy that type of stuff, even if you don’t want to vote for the contest.
If you want to humor me and vote for the contest then apparently you have to request to be their friend and then you can vote. Unfortunately it looks like their link of music to listen to is not working. Or at least it wasn’t working for me. So, if you want to hear some of his music, check out his MySpace
Deadline is of course today!!!
I guess I should crawl back into bed now.
This is what I get for posting when I should be sleeping! A sucky OP that no one wants to reply to.
