WHY I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE FAILURE

There are only so many podcasts a person can watch. Religious people will say that you just need to read the Bible and pray more. Meditation teachers will say that you just need to meditate more. Gym people will say that you just need to lift weights more. There are only so many things a person can do to distract themselves. Inevitably, the pain always finds it's way back.  I am a total failure. A complete and utter failure. I went back to school and got a Master's degree to close a gap on my resume, and got myself back in to my career field. Then the pandemic came along and put another gigantic gap right back on my resume. I failed to close that gap in enough time to save my relationship. I could have gone to work part time at McDonald's or Disneyland, instead I spent 3-4 years building a YouTube channel under the assumption that the channel would pay out significantly more over time.

"The Howling" by Babel - Halloween Movie Soundtrack Fest 2017

The Howling II: Your Sister Is A Werewolf is an oxymoron of a horror film. We won't mix words. It's a terrible movie. But it's a terrible movie that you tell all of your friends about. More disturbing than scary, but disturbing in a hilarious way. Kind of like your crazy Uncle Bob at a family get together.

The film can best be described as An American Werewolf In London meets The Rocky Horror Picture Show with Barbariana thrown in there randomly.



Wait... is Barbariana an actual film? Anyway, we're not here to talk about the movie.

The main song that plays repeatedly throughout the film was performed by a band called Babel. We use the term "band" lightly because this appears to be the only song ever written or performed by them. Oh and by "them" we also mean Stephen W. Parsons, who wrote and performed all parts of the song. Parsons is a film composer who wrote the song for the film and then created a fictitious band to perform it in the film. That's him in the movie as the lead singer with a backing group of actors.



This is about as 80's as it gets, folks. Not the best or brightest shining moment by any means. But you can't take the good without the bad. Or in this case, the hilarious.
