I'm going to try very hard not to be Debbie Downer. I just need to let all this stuff out before the new year begins. I am at work and feeling the need to express myself. I'm not in the most festive of moods today...instead I'm emotionally drained. This year has been a whirlwind of disappointing scenarios, unemployment, and emotional upheaval. I have never felt so unstable in all my life and I'm hoping it gets better. I am sure it has to in order to balance it all out. I'm not sure where I'm going or what path I'm suppose to take here, and it's all very opaque to me. I feel like I'm really aging at this point. Either I've been suffering and sacrificing for a grander outcome or this is a downward spiral to an oblivion of hell! I hope everyone else has better luck than me. I am not trying to think I'm the only person in the world, nor are my problems really that extreme. There are people I know that are dying as we speak which pains me, but somehow their station is desirable to me at this time. I sometimes want the sweet release of non-existence in this world...perhaps a figurative death is what I'm referring to here. There are some things I discovered about myself this year:
1. Crazy and neurotic people are attracted to me (mostly women)
2. I have no tolerance for people who do not have self confidence.
3. I do not trust anyone in the music industry....EVER.
4. I am a lover who loves to fight.
5. I threw my brain out the window at the end of the year and went back to thinking with my heart....bad choice but it is what it is.
6. My view of marriage is a bit different than it used to be.
7. I can eat vegetables.
8. I have a texting/facebook addiction.
9. I'm nobody's momma.
10. I can be a lazy bitch.
11. I am not a corporate person.
12. I have the capability to really destroy people's lives.
13. I found that I really like soup.
14. I have a deep deep connection with the music I listen to.
15. I miss traveling.
16. There are people out there who really believe in what I do.
17. I really wish I could help everyone.
18. I take on people's burdens.
19. I really enjoy men...not in "that" way, well yes I do, but mostly in the conversing sort of way. I'm calm when I talk to men it seems.
20. I will never really be the person everyone wants me to be and in that I will hurt some people.
All these things I've accepted. I'm just not sure where to go from here. Should I stay or should I go? Give me 17 back....hell give me back 22 maybe...yeah 22...can I have that back??? Can I have back all my recklessness? Can I have back my life without all this complicated bullshit? Please be kind and rewind?! I know, we all have to grow up sometime. We all need to be RESPONSIBLE...but why? If we're all dying then what difference does it make? Jeesh...ok I'm done...I think I've broken the seal. I can only hope for more transgression in the new year.

FINALLY - ANTI-MAG RETURNS
Hello everyone...it's been so long since I've written anything and I do apologize. I've been busy relaunching Anti-Mag and now it's ready for viewing. There are some small things I'm still working out so forgive any mistakes. I just want to let everyone know I have new features up finally and am proud and honored to have these people join the Anti-Mag family.
I would also like to do some thank yous. One being, Mr. Brian Landis for creating the new AM logo. He rocks and I love his work. Next, I would like to thank Mr. Muffinhead for providing me with the cute logo you see on Suzette Coquettes page. He is remarkably talented and I hope to feature him soon. And last but certainly not least, thank you to all you readers out there who've done nothing but give me support and kind sentiments about the 'zine. It is well received and appreciated. It is also nice to see a number of you at our monthly Thirst Fursday!
Now, without further adieu I give you this month's spotlights.
I'm working on an upcoming event for Miss Michael Quinn of Glampire Deisgn. She creates incredible head pieces. So stay tuned for that update. Hope you enjoy the new site. Feel free to leave comments!

New Graffiti Documentary - BOMB IT!
April 11, 2008
Hello All...I'm loving this weather! Although I have to say this weather provokes bad behavior, such as, obtaining Spring Fever and having the uncontrollable urge to pick up a frisbee instead of a briefcase, watching men absolutely fawn over the skin being revealed on the streets, wearing flip flops in the morning, taking a VERY long lunch as you dine outside and let's not forget the margarita lunch break...just kidding, boss! Anyway, I have some very exciting news. I urge, no wait, I demand that all yous who have love for art and the way it influences the world, to catch the screening of Jon Reiss' "Bomb It".
This is probably the BEST documentary on graffiti I've ever seen. It's an in-depth look at it from many different angles and even if you're not into that type of art, it's still an interesting film. So PLEASE check it out!
Here's the info:
Fri. April 25 - Thu. May 8, 2008

News Bitches!
April 8, 2008
I know, I have features...they are a comin'...I've just had a ton of visitors the past week or so. Forgive me. In the meantime, I attended a benefit featuring some prominent tattoo artists. I will give full coverage as well as photos of the event soon. I also attended a very gorgeous Semi Precious Weapons' photoshoot done by none other than the most fabulous Justin Hyte. As soon as pics arrive I will share the experience of being around beautiful people. This Friday, Working Man's Clothes will be presenting "37 Stones" at the Looking Glass Theater (422 W. 57th Street b/t 9th and 10th, NYC). It is written by Mark Charney and directed by Will Neuman. For more details about the show, please go HERE! These people put on some amazing plays so if you are in the area, you should definitely check it out. Hopefully by this weekend I will be presenting the following individuals:
Everyone else I was going to feature, didn't feel the need to respond to their interview questions...it will take some pretty hard wooing to get me to feature them now. People like this are too busy for me anyway. And I don't care if it's mean to say! Sometimes calling out people is just what they need to get a swift kick in the ass. I don't have time to waste either, nor am I into broken promises. OH THE DRAMA!
On a lighter note. Is Spring here? Will we be able to store our Winter clothes underneath the bed already? Can I please stop wearing the same shite I've been wearing everyday? Time will tell. Do I have any other news? Not really, not yet. There could be something huge in hours to come....I could spot a sasquatch coming out of Club Monaco? Perhaps, my friendly neighborhood Spiderman will drop in for tea? I could very well contract a deadly virus making me a man-eating zombie...this one could take a while...the transformation could be involved. Or, nothing will happen and I will be counting the hours down to get home and finish up these features.
Oh wait! I do have a little bit of news. It seems I am only one woman and things for me can get quite time consuming and difficult to produce. In lieu of this predicament I have asked two members to join the Anti-Mag militia. You may all know the lovely Miss RunAround Sue. She has been deemed my co-producer/coordinator of Anti-Mag events. Susan will help me come up with some creative and fun events for you all to enjoy. I have also enlisted Ste Duggins as my artist liaison/events photographer because after the first event, I definitely need one. I like art people, I don't do it. So, there you have it. Stay connected...More to come.

Lovable February!
February 1, 2008
HOLA!
Well I do hope everyone is having an eventful new year. I will be celebrating the Year of the Rat. What exactly does that mean? Well the Chinese new year is on February 7th and although I'm not a Rat it is going to be a good year for us all.
A Rat Year is a time of hard work, activity, and renewal. This is a good year to begin a new job, get married, launch a product or make a fresh start. Ventures begun now may not yield fast returns, but opportunities will come for people who are well prepared and resourceful. The best way for you to succeed is to be patient, let things develop slowly, and make the most of every opening you can find. People born in an Earth Rat are said to be logical realists, shrewd, charming, ambitious, and inventive.
We are very close to confirming a date for the Anti-Mag/Sugar Shack showcase. As of yet it has been confirmed that artist Matt Siren will be showing and band What What Where will be performing.
More artists will be confirmed and I'm still going full steam ahead on the actual event. More to come....
I'm looking for freelance writers. If anyone out there wants to maybe have their own column, please feel free to contact me with writing samples. It is not a paying gig, as I've said before, I wish I could pay myself! You can email me at: Jo_Ann@anti-mag.com
I want to let any bands interested in having someone do their press photography, album art, banners, etc., that my good friend, Joel Decatur, is available. He takes amazing photos and also does incredible graphic work. His company is called The Elegant Elephant and if you would like further information you can contact him at: joeldecatur@hotmail.com
FEATURES
I'm incredibly pleased with the upcoming features for Anti-Mag. I've truly been smitten with these individuals and hope you will see what I do.

Anti-Mag Tops 2007!
My Tops - 2007
It is the end of the year and although I feel that this year has been hellish for me, I have to say that in music it has been a myriad of good discoveries. So, like all other magazines I felt that I needed to list my top 10 albums of 2007 and some other fun stuff. Still waiting for the revolution to take place but think we are on the verge. If we can complete the assasintation of Fall Out Boy and Panic At the Disco, we will be closer to achieving the goal of creating real music for real people. Boys, put the tight pants away because what's going to take place in the coming year I predict will be an onslaught of sound which will be worthy of a decent wardrobe.
Top Albums - These are in no particular order - These are the records I listened to most which had the best overall quality.
1. Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worse Nightmare
2. Battles - Mirrored
3. Grinderman - Grinderman
4. M.I.A. - Kala
5. Radiohead - In Rainbows
6. Nine Inch Nails - Year 0
7. Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
8. LCD SoundSystem - Sound of Silver
9. Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
10. Jay Z - American Gangster
Top Songs - These were the songs I liked to shake my booty to or just played over and over again on my Pod....goddamn ear candy.
1. Rhianna - "Umbrellas"
2. The Pierces - "Three Wishes"
3. Amy Winehouse - "Rehab"
4. Hot Rod Circuit - "US Royalty"
5. Eisely - "Invasion"
6. Battles - "Atlas"
7. M.I.A. - "Bird Flu"
8. Tegan & Sara - "The Con"
9. Modest Mouse - "Fire it Up"
10. The Virgins - "Rich Girls"
Top Mems - There are a few albums I liked just a wee bit...they kinda give me the warm and fuzzies.
1. Foo Fighters - Silence Patience and Grace
2. Hard - Fi - Once Upon a Time in the West
3. Bjork - Volta
4. The Prids - ...Until the World Is Beautiful
5. Spoon - Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga
Top Shows - I saw a lot of music this year...I saw a lot of BAD music this year, I did however see some kick ass shows that left me a little sweaty.
1. Muse at Madison Square Garden - Phenomenal
2. The Killers at MSG - Lovely
3. Foo Fighters at Irving Plaza - Rock the hell outta here!
4. Generals & Majors at the Annex - not just a little sweaty, a whole lotta sweaty!
5. Hot Rod Circuit at Knitting Factory - for a band that sux they sure rocked the house.
6. Zac Clark at Knitting Factory - kid knows how to swoon a crowd.
7. Queen Killing Kings at Annex - piano rock never looked so hot.
8. Brass Band - I don't know their real name, but they play in the Union Square station and they kill it!
9. The Prids at Southpaw - all I can say is...what a delightful discovery.
10. Jack's Mannequin at anywhere and everywhere - they are just an incredible bunch of musicians...I've never been to a bad performance.

If we can complete the assasintation of Fall Out Boy and Panic At the Disco, we will be closer to achieving the goal of creating real music for real people. Boys, put the tight pants away because what's going to take place in the coming year I predict will be an onslaught of sound which will be worthy of a decent wardrobe.
