RANT to your heart's content.

[Alex(sadly)Maleev]

I dedicate this thread to Matt Hollingsworth, great rant master and a dear friend.

[Professor Oreo]

So, we can rant about whatever we want? Interesting...

[Alex(sadly)Maleev]

From Matt's blog:

begin rant

Yes, that's right. It's Sunday. Time to release the pent up anger from the preceding week. You go do your fucking yoga. Me? I'll just rant, thank you.

This rant is devoted to all the waitresses in LA who say they're actors. I suppose it goes to all you male waiter/actors too, though I've never seen any of you. In fact, I see very few male waiters in LA.

Anyway, begin rant again:

You are NOT an actor unless you act! Just because you moved to LA from wherever the fuck you are from does not mean you are an actor merely by living here. And it's not Hollywood from 50 years ago where you will just be disovered by someone who sees you. All sorts of gorgeous girls move here from all over thinking that very thing, and because there are so many of you now, nobody is going to "discover" you. Okay? You are merely another tree in the forest.

If you're an actor, then act. In small neighborhood plays, in student films, whatever you can get. Do stand up. Get on stage somehow. Then, once you're actually acting, THEN you can say you're an actor. If you never act in anything and are just waiting around for someone to think you're great and give you an acting gig, you are NOT an actor.

I know this one waitress who refers to herself as an actor. So, naturally, I asked if she was doing any theatre or getting any work, in any media. Her response? "Oh no, no theater. I want to be in film." Well, that's great. But you think you're just gonna get into film by NOT acting anywhere in anything? She's NOT acting in anything, anywhere. And thus, the chops do not get developed, nobody sees her on stage, nobody even knows she's an 'actor'.

And, by the way, this also goes to all you motherfuckers who call yourselves writers. If you're a writer, you write. If you don't write, you are not a writer. Simple as that. I'm not even talking about getting work with it here. Just people who never do any writing of any kind but still somehow think that they are either a writer or are going to be a writer. It's like someone who never draws thinking they're going to draw the X-Men for god's sake. Or someone who never picks up a baseball thinking they'll be playing with the Dodgers. And of course, I am NOT referrring to you fine folks who actually DO write and DO act. YOU people know the other poseurs I am talking about, and they ain't you.

That doesn't even touch on all the people here in LA who have screenplays and who have otherwise not written anything, and don't even enjoy writing. It's not a lottery. You're not going to win, and nobody is going to give you millions for your stupid film. Okay?

If you love writing, that's fine. Then write. If you love acting, then that's cool. Act. But if you think some magical pixie is gonna fly by and sprinkle movie star dust on you for sitting on your ass and not doing anything, simply because you live in LA, then you can fuck right the hell off. Ain't gonna happen. Now get away from me and shut up. Move to Omaha or something. I hear they have a vibrant farming industry there that could use some writers and actors.

end rant.

[Professor Oreo]

Matt is Awesome!

[Alex(sadly)Maleev]

He is more awesome in person. I wanted to do a rant thread for a long time. I will start posting as soon as I get packed and ready to move.

[Hollingsworth]

The other two rants from Sunday to follow:

begin rant:

Okay, so if you live in a town with lots of bike lanes all over the place, like where I live, Santa Monica, then here's the deal:

Do not ride your fucking bike on the god damned sidewalk. Do not nearly run people down on said fucking sidewalk. There are bike lanes all over the place. Use those, you stupid motherfucker. If the sidewalk was meant for bikes, it would be called a "sideride". See that word "walk" in there? It's for walking, you dumb motherfucker.

So, please, use the bike lanes.

end rant.

[Hollingsworth]

Okay, this one's shorter.

begin rant:

If you have a surgical enhancement of any kind, you cannot act like you are spiritually deep. I don't care how much pilates or yoga you do. If you paid for your tits, then you are automatically NOT spiritually enlightened I don't care how many books by Deepak Chopra you read. I don't give a shit how many times you voted for Ralph Nader. If you had a face lift, you are not spiritually deep.

end rant.

[Hollingsworth]

Heh heh. Well, thanks man. We had some fun in Croatia, eh?

Ah I had a nice long rant two weeks ago about my roommate. I had a whole thread devoted to it.

Right now I'm in Bio Lab, and while I really want to rant, I have to finish my work first. After that I'll be ready to rant...

[Taki Soma]

I am totally :heart: ing Hollingsworth

[Professor Oreo]

Okay here's a quick one



Shopping Carts...

Put your fucking shopping carts in the goddamn recepticles in the parking lot when you leave the grocery store!!! I know the store hires young kids whose job it is to collect the carts and return them to the front of the store, but that doesn't give you free license to fling them wherever the fuck you please when you're done with them. Those cart holders are liberally placed throughout the parking lot so that young kid doesn't have to spend all day marching his ass across every square corner of the lot to pick up after you, you fucking sloth. I know you're all lazy fucks who can't wait to get home and stuff your faces with the new freezer full of hot pockets you just purchased, but if you knew that about yourself when you showed up here, why didn't you just park your car next to one of those cart holders so you didn't have to make the agonizing 10 foot trek to find one later? I shouldn't have to weave and dodge free range floating carts all day to find a fucking parking space just because you can't be bothered to clean up after yourself.

Something that set me off at dinner tonight (how convienent)

Today I dined alone. While I was sitting happily reading comics enjoying my little rice and bean platter thing a guy decided to sit with me. First off usually I don't mind eating alone, especially if I have some reading. Well, guy who joined me is (to say the least) not my favorite person. He's obnoxious in class and around campus. He is the manager at the snack bar and condecends the people who are "under him". He thinks he's hot shit because he was once a Manager at McDonalds.

So guy sits down one seat over next to me. I didn't invite him nor did he ask to sit with me. Then he starts talking to me about how he found out this past weekend that he has "dangerously high cholesterol". Laughing it off he shoves another spoonfull of chili and cheese in his mouth. He goes on saying that the doctor said he will die by age 21 if he continues.

Annoyed now, I ask him why he seems so relaxed about it and continues to eat french fries and macaroni salad. (Yes he was eating a little bit of all these things, nasty in itself.) He told me that he doesn't know what foods are high in cholesterol and it's the doctor's fault for not telling him so he'll eat whatever he wants.

So still annoyed, I say why the fuck doesn't he go eat some Cheerios, that's healthy. And more over why hadn't he googled that shit? If a doctor said that you could die in 2 years wouldn't you think, "HEY!, I should change my ways ASAP?!"

He then said I better watch what I say to him because he'll slap me. I won't know what hit me due to his arguing skills that he developed working as a manager at McDonald's.

I forgot to mention that before the cholesterol convo came up he was talking at me about how our Biology teacher made him fail the test.

TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY! This guy would take NO responsibility for his actions, and he is the worst kind of douche bag out there....

[Hollingsworth]

Oh I didn't realize I could completely rip on this guy... well in that case :twisted:

Guy looks like a fucking penguin and waddles around bossing and blaming other people for his bullshit life. Instead of getting your kicks on telling the little old hispanic woman who makes the wraps that YOU can take a break whenever you want because you're the Authority, you can make up a fucking bowl of mayo and beef and clog those arteries up! That was a run on I'm sure, but I'm all fired up.

[LenNWallace]

Okay, so about 15 minutes ago, my girlfriend and I are driving around, in the 3 'o clock Sunday traffic, when suddenly we hit a stoplight. (Figurativly) Unfortunately, the old lady behind us so did the very old lady in the car behind us, who hit our car quite literally.

Not a hard hit, mind you. Just a small bump, like at a bumper car rally. Still, I can instantly feel my blood begin to boil in my veins with anger. I turn back and look her in the eyes, shouting some choice obscenities in her direction, and what does she do in response...?

She WAVES at me...

Think about it, you get hit in your car and you turn back to see the person behind you giving you the finger, that's one thing. To have a little woman rear end you and then just smile and wave like "Oh, don't worry about it... Nothing's wrong."

So, we pull over as we see the old lady turning into the neighborhood with us, we're thinking 'Hey, maybe this is going to turn out okay, then. At least she's cooperating..." Only to park the car on the side of the road and watch the old coot drive RIGHT THE FUCK PAST US!

So, we got her plate number. We're calling it in to the cops. The car wasn't apparently damaged and no one was hurt, but really... It's the principal of the matter.

Posted from the BenBo at Maleev's request.

Fucking old people...

[Hollingsworth]

You know what Sunday means? It's rant time!

begin rant:

If you are jay walking, do not expect me to stop my car for you. I may not hit you, but I won't stop unless you step directly out in front of my car. You motherfuckers need to realize there's a god damned crosswalk for a reason. Where I live, it's a shopping street. And sometimes, driving up the street, I literally have to stop every single block for pedestrians. And on top of that, people try to cross in the middle of a block too. There's a crosswalk every block. You lazy motherfuckers need to just walk another 50 feet or so.

And, they act all indignant when I don't stop for them. Well guess what motherfucker. You don't have the right of way in the middle of the block and can be ticketed for jay walking. If there are no cars, go ahead. Who cares then? But if there's traffic, don't step out into the middle of the street acting like it's your right and that I have to stop. Use those fucking legs and walk to the crosswalk. You could probably use the exercise anyway. Step in front of my car and I will crush you just for the joy of hearing your spleen pop.

end rant

[Hollingsworth]

And another:

begin rant:

If you are faint of heart or easily offended, don't read my fucking rants. By it's very nature, a rant is over the top. I had someone somewhere else get offended at my comment about the popping spleen above. Well, duh. Obviously I'm not going to run anyone over. It's a fucking rant, okay? They acted like I have anger issues or something. No, no anger issue. Now shut the fuck up.

end rant

[lost in the flood]

here's another specific rant:

Begin Rant:

This is one about my roommate. She can't understand why she can't find the love of her life. She only finds guys who want to fuck and then leave. Why is this? Oh I don't know, maybe because you post nude pictures of yourself on the internet!?

Hey guess what, you're not going to be attracting the great guys off of myspace. The only reason they're talking to you is because you have nudes up. "Oh but they're artistic" doesn't work in this case. Just because a photo is taken in black and white doesn't mean it's artistic.

People who drive in the far left lane

[begin rant] Where the fuck did you learn to drive? You fucking people driving 5 miles under the limit in the left lane. Do the words "Passing Lane" mean nothing to you? Do you understand you are endangering the lives of the people you share the road with? Do you even know there are other people on the road? Can you even see over the goddamn stearing wheel? If you are driving, drive in the center lane. The right lane is for entering and exiting, the center lane is for driving, and the left lane is for passing. IT'S NOT FUCKING ROCKET SCIENCE, PEOPLE! When you are cruising in the left lane it forces people to pass in the center lane, which is the lane that people who have just entered the freeway are merging into. This causes the high speed passers to merge left with slow speed traffic, frequently involving people in other people's blind spots and can cause serious LOSS OF LIFE ACCIDENTS. If you aint passing anyone, or about to be passing anyone in the very near future, stay in the center lane! That is why it is there, for crying out loud!

Also if someone flashes their lights at you the proper response is not to give them the bird! They are not disrespecting you! That is what they are SUPPOSED TO DO so that they dont HAVE TO PASS ON THE RIGHT. Get it? Simply pull into the right lane and let them pass, and while you're at it, stay in the right lane until there is a reason for you not to be in the right lane. OK? PLEASE?!?! ASSSSSSHOLLLESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!![/end rant]

Thanks. That felt great! :lol:

Oh my, I felt that rant. Unfortunatley I'm a bit guilty of cruising in the passing lane from time to time :Oops: Ugh I'm so embarassed. Usually only on route 287 which is on my way to/from school where big trucks drive and aren't allowed on the left. Ahh I'm sorry! :surrend:

[Hollingsworth]

There is no excuse. You must now be executed. Or, you must drive faster when you are in the left lane. Your choice.

After all the tickets I got in the past, I tend to stick with the flow these days. Got sick of expensive insurance.

I've only been pulled over twice in my life, both times for speeding in a residental area near my house (hey I was trying to get to school). The irony is that I was stopped in the same exact spot, at the same time of day, by THE SAME COP. First time crying got me out, second time I used my PBA card. He was so pissed and I was scared as hell because he was screaming at me.

The worst part was that the second time happened in the dead of winter and my windows wouldn't go down due to a combination of being frozen and the power window motor dying. So needless to say when I opened the door to talk to him, that got him very angry....

Maybe I should just ... not speed... haha

chicago people who have vacation homes in michigan

begin rant

just because you own a vacation home in michigan, doesn't mean we're all a bunch of fucking dumb ass hicks. just because there's a lot of farms in the area doesn't mean we have erotic dreams about our siblings. stop coming here in the summer and acting like your superior to us. it might be hard to believe, but most of us have a i.q.

and stop getting pissy when there isn't a fucking starbucks on every corner. if you want real coffee, go to the dunkin donuts. take your pretentious coffee and stick it in your pretentious ass.

and for the love of god, learn to drive. speed limits might be a suggestion in chicago, but here it's the actuall limit. get off my ass when i'm on i-94. no, i take that back, stay on my ass. i'll be glad when you cause a five car pile up and become another statistic on the "widow maker". also, just so you know, in this state you can fucking turn on red.

if you don't like us or we're not as refined as you, then stay your happy ass in chicago during the summer. maybe the more of you that stay there, then there'll be more murders there that can weed you fucks out.

[DaGetHighKnight]

Yeah, I dig. I knew guys that did actually have real studio setups where they lived, though. Mind you, some of them lived in warehouses.

;-)

You know those meth musician guys, who are always working on something and yet you never hear it?

We had a practice space at this wack job's studio that we'd use sometimes. WE were waiting outside at one point and our bassist saw this horse shoe and picked it up, checked it out,then set it back down facing the opposite direction. The freak guy came out to let us in, noticed the horse shoe and asked who had touched it. He freaked out about all the bad luck he was gonna get now because it was facing the wrong way and actually told us to fuck off and leave.

Hahahahaha!

He had an afro mohawk, so we always just called him Frohawk.......


Im trying for the life of me to picture an Afro Mohawk right now..:lol:

Rant on!

Manhattan Cab Drivers. The worst form of anti-social scumbags going. They never know how to fucking get anywhere, Try asking them to go into the Lower East Side and they look at you like you asked them to drive to Tampa. The are ALWAYS on the phone with their other cabby buddies talking and plotting numerous bomb attacks around the city, im sure of it.
They STINK!, They are selective in who they pick up,They are always "Off Duty during the peak of rush hour, clog traffic and the bus's and pretty much do nothing positive. Not to mention they are all all sick perverts too.

[Hollingsworth]

I got into a cab in NY once and said something like "34th and 6th, please". The guy asked if I meant 34th *street* or avenue. Hahahahahaha! Great. Then he drove totally the wrong way and I literally had to tell him each turn to make. We got there, I paid him and got out. Door still open, I reached in to grab my bag and he started driving off with the door still open. Fucking retard.

As for the basement studio, I totally disagree. When I lived in Portland tons of people had their entire setup down in the basement, and some nice spaces indeed. Just depends on if it's some half assed BS where it's somebody trying to ACT like they're a musician. You're either playing or you're not. I'm a drummer, so I gotta take what I can get and can't be so elitist.

Shit, I totaly forgot about them driving away before you check to see if everything is out of that cab, that gets me crazy. I actually beat a cabbie once in 1997 infront of the Limelight with a chicken Kabob in my left hand throwing punches with my right..

Now the studio thing...If you do not have a control room , its not a "studio" Its a room in a home with recording gear..

But Im refering to the guys that have the half assed shit going on like you said. For example.. I know this guy that owes me money and i called him for a week and he never answered my calls or got back to me and when he actually did call me back he said "sorry I was in "The Studio" all week ..I was like "the studios in your fucking laundry room in your home" "you couldnt pick up the phone thats right next to your arm and call me?

Recording Studios to me will always be an actual facility with a lounge, pre-production area,ISO Booths, Live Drum Room, an operator, 2 engineers and a bad coke habit among the group ;). and if its a REAL studio it will have a choice of Tape or digital for your recording needs..

Shit, I totaly forgot about them driving away before you check to see if everything is out of that cab, that gets me crazy. I actually beat a cabbie once in 1997 infront of the Limelight with a chicken Kabob in my left hand throwing punches with my right..

Now the studio thing...If you do not have a control room , its not a "studio" Its a room in a home with recording gear..

Yeah, I dig. I knew guys that did actually have real studio setups where they lived, though. Mind you, some of them lived in warehouses.

You know those meth musician guys, who are always working on something and yet you never hear it?

We had a practice space at this wack job's studio that we'd use sometimes. WE were waiting outside at one point and our bassist saw this horse shoe and picked it up, checked it out,then set it back down facing the opposite direction. The freak guy came out to let us in, noticed the horse shoe and asked who had touched it. He freaked out about all the bad luck he was gonna get now because it was facing the wrong way and actually told us to fuck off and leave.

Hahahahaha!

He had an afro mohawk, so we always just called him Frohawk.......

short one, as almost always, about driving:

Okay, just because you wave at me when driving like an asshole does not mean you are any less of an asshole. And it doesn't mean that I let you in if you rush out into moving traffic, cut me off, swerve into lane and then wave at me, as if to say "thanks for letting me in". I didn't let you in, motherfucker. In fact, I didn't even see you until it was so late that I would have hit you if I hadn't slammed on my brakes. The wave doesn't make it okay to drive like a dickhead.

And please, for the love of god, hang up the phone and drive.

I don't understand why a former best friend from high school who basically told me to fuck off would contact me now after three years... just to say "hi"? What the fuck?! I had the worst falling out with this girl... well actually she had a problem with me and I just was fucked from the beginning. I tried to do the "lets fix this" shit and all I got was a big FUCK YOU. This girl seriously made my last year of HS a living hell. And you all know how girls can be, they're nuts.

So here I am, three years later and she's messaging me just to say hi. Like nothing happened? Like she wasn't the biggest c^|\|! inthe world? And like she didn't fuck my brother. Yeah that too hah. Yeah this may have made sense if she contacted me 4 months ago when my dad died, but no, she just wanted to say Hi. No, fuck you... you nasty coke head... you don't get to just say hi. I want nothing to do with you and your "hello's".

As usual, it seems to always have to do with driving. I think they should give an IQ test and only allow people who score over 100 to get a license. Call me elitist.

Ah anyway...

Please, for the love of God, do not fucking merge onto the freeway at 40 miles per hour. Especially if you are in front of me trapping me. Look, motherfucker, you have a Nissan Z, a small sports car, and I have a fucking Nissan XTerra, an SUV. IF I can merge at 70, then by bloody fuck, so can you. There's no fucking excuse. Here's the deal; this whole merging thing works on the theory that you, yes, *merge* into existing traffic, matching it's speed and getting into traffic much like a zipper coming together. This will not work if you are going half the speed of the traffic you are trying to merge into. And I don't wanna hear excuses about how your car can't speed up that well. The people I most often see this with have cars that are far speedier than mine and yet I manage.

And, while you're at it, do NOT fucking hit your brakes while merging. If anything, hit the gas. The reason the merge is not working is not because you need to hit your brakes. It's because you're going to slow, you fucking retard.

While you're at it, can you just hand in your license so that the rest of us are safer on the roads? Or, at the very least, if you are afraid of freeways and driving at freeway speeds, then please just stay on surface streets.

Another rant about the roommie and pretty much any dumb girl out there...

Begin Rant:

I don't get girls who complain about not finding a boyfriend ... no hold on let me back up. I don't get girls who complain about not finding a nice guy who doesn't want to have sex the first time you meet. Or says "I love you" on the second date. BUT she will go out of her way to meet a guy and "get a room" with him first time meeting.

Does that make sense?

Fuck no it doesn't!

"Oh I hate men, they are either sex maniacs or they are pathetic and say they love you way too fast" Well, hmm... if you feel this way, why are you going to meet a guy that you met on the internet in a motel room on the first "date"? "just to hang out". NO, you're going to fuck. Duh. If you walk into the room and there's mirrors in place of paint, then you should know you're there for one thing.

Quit complaining. If you just want to get laid, say the words. Sex and the City changed it all for us ladies, we can say that and it's ok. But don't go on saying men are pigs!

The other day I was in a hurry to get to work but nipped into a store to get something for lunch. 1 item.

The one person at the one and only checkout was busy with something, there was someone else in front of me and there were some plants that would look wonderful in my new flat...

I place my cup-o-soup on the belt and quickly go check the price of the plant. When I come back a few second later an elderly guy is standing in my spot. No problem. I'll go to where I stood early, where I still had my cup.

I can FEEL him fighting the urge to say something and eventually he does: "It's not ok that you skip the queue like that..." he tells me off in this seemingly calm, patronizing, yet pissed off way...

I say "I was standing here earlier. I just checked the price of the plants over there - I left the soup here, see?" -"Didn't see that."

So he's quiet but the tone of his voice is enough to tick me off. So now I am fighting the urge to say something and as I am paying my soup I place something else I had with me on the belt and forget to take it with me as I leave, but notice straight away, turn around and the guy says:

"There you see how attentive you are." with that awful know-it-all voice.

DAMN! I am close to exploding but lucky for him I am actually in a hurry.

Who is he to think age gives him the right to judge me within a couple of seconds that he has talked to me! Bloody pensioner with all the time in the world and by default smarter and wiser than anyone who is considerably younger and in a hurry - or what?

Socks with sandals.

Do these people realize they look like a goddamn idiot? You look halfassed. Like you started the day off wanting to get fully dressed then, once you finally had your socks on, got lazy and said "fuckit, I'll slip into some sandals."

Well, guess what, you look like a dumbfuck. Ever public place you go, ever sensible person is thinking the same thing: That guy's a re-re. The only people NOT thinking it, are the other dumbfucks that wear socks with sandals.

Either take the socks OFF, or put on some shoes.

Flip-flops with socks are worse. What, in the obvious whole foot covering design of the sock, makes you even THINK that you should squish part of your sock between your toes in order to wear flip-flops?

Maybe it was the fact I was busy with my own work, avoiding eye contact, and keping quiet, to myself. Whatever it was, please, let me know so I can STOp doing it, because the last thing ON EARTH I want to do is hear about your sordid affair with a co-worker in whom I ALSO have no interest.

I don't even know your name, so what makes you think I care oyu're ending your affair to finally concentrate on making your marriage better for your hunsband and son? Know what information I got from the conversation? You're a cheating whore who deserves to lose custody of her child in a divorce.

I notice you don't block the manga books. Maybe next time I'll just bend right over in front of you, flash you my hairy crack and rip a nasty FART.

Time for the ever popular one.

STOP drawing Ron Perlman as Hellboy. In other words, STOP drawing Hellboy with a HUMAN face. He HAS a specific design, and if you draw him with lips and a mouth, you're DRAWING HIM WRONG.

Stop it.

Take 5 seconds, look at any Mignola drawing of Hellboy, and compare that drawing of Hellboy to Mignola's random muscle human. Notice how they don't look the same? Cause they're NOT. Hellboy is a MONSTER and has MONSTER proportions, and a SPECIFIC design to his face.

It IS possible to draw Hellboy without aping Mignola's style, and DON'T call your wrong interpretation of him as "artistic interpretation." Cause it's not. What you're doing is the equivellant of drawing Beast from X-men as a Mermaid.

It's wrong. It's off model.

I've worked in retail, so I don't mind slow service if it's busy and there's one person waiting on 50. I don't mind inexperienced service. Everyone was new to the job at some point. I don't even mind silent service. Take my order, and don't say a fucking word to me. Social itneraction isn't the reason I went there in the first place.

What I DO fucking mind, is you flirting with the goddamn busboy and ignoring the customers. YES, I will cut off your goddamn conversation. YES, I will be rude, obnoxious, and slam my hands on the counter like a child to get your attention.

You know why? Because you're not paid to try and fuck everyone behind the counter, you're paid to take orders from customers, THEN suck off your co-workers.

So, NO, I don't give a fuck if you're offended by "it doesn't take two hands to ring up an order, why don't you just give him a handjob and press the fucking buttons, cumbucket."

Oh, and the next time I see someone taking my order while they're on the cell phone, I'm grabbing the goddamn phone from you and throwing it into the ketchup busket.

it costs significantly more to store sets and scenery per square foot than to build them

which means after every show is over it gets broken down and thrown into giant rented dumpsters. this is thousands of dollars worth of set and hardwear thrown out after only a few weeks in use
and that's fine, i do it all the time for the various mid to large professional threater companies that i work for, i enjoy the work and i do my best to ignore the incredible waste of resourses.

but what REALLY fucking sucks is that i also do work for small theater companies and i'm the technical director for the nation's longest running community theater, which never has any money, ever. so i'm usually stuck modifying things i find or can pull out of dumpsters around town. EVERY time i strike a show, i see tens thousands (occationally hundreds of thousands) of dollars worth of set that i (and many other poorer theater companies) could use in up coming shows and desporately need.

but unless you happen to building that show at that exact moment, you're screwed
because sets and scenery cost more to store than to build

Please don't get pissed at a comic book pro when he/she charges for sketches at a show. Usually they pay their own way there and are just trying to pay for the trip.

Rant:

Friends who take advantage of friendships. I have a friend who owes me over 700$. I made him swear that before he got in this deep with me he was aware of agreement of payment that we set up...Since then he has Lost his Job, Had a wedding to goto, Didnt get an unemployment check yet and basicly has lied to me about the day of payment.
Now what really gets me mad. On said day of payment this friend didnt even call me to say he wasnt able to do it, i had to leave him a phone text and then i heard his sob story. He did this to me twice.
Now, normaly id hurt this dude. Like wait for him to walk out his house and take 700$ out his ass kinda hurt, But I know his parents and I actually like the guy..But im loosing sleep over the fact that he has fucking wronged me , a friend who respected him and helped him when he needed it...Im battling good and evil right now over this. Its not even about the money anymore. its about principle...What would you do?

What would you do?

Hmm toughie. Well my brother does this to me. I lent him $100, not much in comparison to the 700 you lent out, but still. So he just wouldn't pay me back... so eventually I had to make up a story on how I need the cash because I need to buy birth control. This was annoying because A. I never NEED money because I'm pretty good at saving and controlling my spending and B. It was embarassing saying what it was for. But that's the key, I think I embarassed him enough to pay me back hahah. Not that this story will help, but I hope in some way it can. :)

I've been working on this shit, whatever it is, for days. If you wanted to be part of the creative process you could have come in and sat down here in the room before I spent 2 days of my life making this shit. And if you want a change, that's fine, that's why I'm here. But don't minimize it. It's not "Just" anything. It's a different thing than I've just shown you. That means I have to re-edit the thing. Major, minor, whatever. How about asking "how long would it take you to add X, Y, and Z elements?"... that I can tell you, and then we can balance the relative worth of 2 more days of editing to add your buddy from Alabama who just happens to have been in those shakey shots which I didn't use because they look like shit. How about we remove the words "Can't you just..." from our vocabulary, OK?

So there. The mouth in Hellboy was a given, since it would have looked worse to have his jaw correct. Likewise with the boots. Having Perlman walk around in hoof-feet would look silly in an unbelievable way.

I will agree, yes, it IS a pet peeve of mine. A MAJOR one, and the only person who can say WHAT is accurate is Mignola. BUT, Mignola has a design page in "Art Of Hellboy" that he sent to Corben to refer to when designing/drawing Hellboy in his own style. There ARE specific design elements to Hellboy, like his jaw, that are just as part of his design as the right hand of doom, the tail, the horns, and being red.

Drawing him with a simple human face, sideburns, and horns on his head is only 2/3 accurate as per Mignola's own design sheets. So, to continue the Beast analogy, it's be like drawing him as a normal clean shaven man with dyed blue head of hair.

But, it's just MY opinion.

Only time you usually get a sketch for free is if the show paid the persons way to the show and part fo the payback is to sit there and do sketches. Saw this in Paris with Alex Maleev and Esad Ribic. And, there'd be these guys who'd get a sketch, then get back in line and want another and another.

OK I've got a rant:

So I just went to our school's Holiday Ball. Now usually I don't like going to these things but I got suckered in. So the thing that annoys me is the girl who is drunk and starts crying because of whatever stupid reason. There's got to be "that" girl. Ew, gives us all a bad name. Shut up, stop crying and realize whatever it is you're crying over, is probably really stupid like you saw your exboyfriend eating cheesecake, and he always hated cheesecake. Stop crying... ugh

Straight from Zagreb:

begin rant:

Do the gypsies *really* need to stop their donkey cart in the middle of the fucking road and stop traffic while they go to the side of the road to steal firewood? It fucks up traffic pretty badly and even causes fist fights. At least pull the cart to the side of the road so we can drive past. It's the fucking 21st motherfucking century, for god's sake! Fuckers!

end rant

[Hollingsworth]

And, if you believe the previous rant, I laugh in your general direction. Hahahaha!

While there are no gypsies with donkey carts topping traffic here, people DO stop their car right in the middle of the road and leave it. I've seen this a buncha times. Most recently, I was driving with Esad, and saw a car in the middle lane, just stopped, with nobody in the car. Not to the side, and not on a side road, on an arterial, main road. My reaction was like "what the fuck, stupid asshole!" And Esad explained it's not uncommon and that they won't get ticketed if they leave it for under five minutes or so. Wow. If you did that in the States someone would slam into your car and total it. But then we Americans *are* retarded, so there is that.

[Alex(sadly)Maleev]

come to Sofia and I'll show you the donkeys in the middle of the street. They do exist.

[Hollingsworth]

Remember Donkey Island in Tribunj? Good times!

Esad and I have already discussed seeing about going to Bulgaria with you during the Makarska trip. We'll all have to check deadlines and such, but it'd be great if you showed us around a bit. I wanna see the coast.

This song is a bit of a rant, so I'm posting the lyrics:

begin rant:

I Got Cash

by the Brooklyn Funk Essentials



I got cash in fuck you quantities
Know what?
That makes you uncomfortable?
Fuck you and the Range Rover you drove in on

Fuck your Saab convertible
And fuck your twice weekly trips to the analyst
Stupid mutha fuck

Fuck the Hamptons
The fly infested south of France
I'm paid asshole,
I got more cash than God can count
so why don't you just... die?

Choke to death on your damn designer bagel from Balducci's
Low cholesterol, naturally

Fuck your big ol' Sunday New York Times
Fuck the Wall Street Journal
And Newsweek
And the lot
Including Nation, Village Voice, Guardian and the rest
Stupid set of privileged mutha fuckers
Think its fashionable to have an alternative view

An alternative view

And fuck, if you can
Your pencil thin, Evian drinking, calorie counting, caffeine limiting, sodium sparing, nutrasweet sweetening, rear view mirror preening, carrot nibbling bunny

Go drown in a lake of Diet Coke, fucker

I got cash, what else matters?

I got cash

Slave

Fuck your fencing and screw your squash, yo
Piss on your Polo and your Pavarotti,
Fuck all that shit you call music and pretend to enjoy

I got cash,
Mega cash,
Unhappy with that?
Oh go and sit on your ski rack,
Money talks you little pussy,

You let your politically correct pals know,
That i think you're a dick also
Neutered asshole

And your idea of multiculturalism
Japanese restaurant on Monday,
Indian on Tuesday,
And on Wednesday, Caribbean,
Not too spicy please

Well
I got stash on stash and it ain't nouveau cash.
Moneys in my family for generations,
My great great great grandfather made the bag,
Selling European slaves in Africa

I got cash mutha fucka,
And you can't tell whether or not I'm joking, can you?
Dumb fuck.

So I just got back from double runs for dance and of course I was missing the big Giants/Cowboys game. So I come back into the room, excited to maybe catch the last 10 or so minutes. When my roommate who NEVER watches tv was watching a DVD. Now whatever she was watching a DVD but she was playing on the computer. What the fuck? Choose one. You know I was excited about the game and I'm like... uh can I just check the score real quick. And she's like u mmmmm can't you check on line. I mean this would make sense if she was actually watching TV or even cared about TV. This girl spends HOURS on the computer. What the hell made her actually want to get out of character when there's a huge game on. WHAT THE FUCK. So I ran down the hall to see if anyone was watching it AND I just missed the final winning play of the game. Fucking Cowboys won by a Field Goal. GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

RANT: People who can't admit they make mistakes, too.

My best friend is the king of "it's their fault". In the two years that I have known him I have never even heard him say "I forgot". Always "didn't have time" or whatever lame excuses people come up with - he knows them all.

He feels all powerful when he lies to people while looking them right into the eyes - knowing they believe every word he says.

He feels all merciful if he tells a white lie... why should he tell them that he forgot, kept postponing, whatever. It won't make them happy, will make them feel bad about him so he'll tell them fairytales! Delays, courier has lost the package, whatever.

He feels powerful, strong, superiour.

He is so pathtic.

But he is my best friend because apart from his cowardice and arrogance, in private he is actually a nice guy at heart. Falling victim to his own lies.

[DaGetHighKnight]

Ha, Im rather hypnotic in person.

People who hire me to make music for them and want "jazz" like sounds in their track..90% of everybody request this and I fucking HATE jazz. I think they just say it cause they think its "cool" or " smart" or something... Its so damn anoying...Originality is lost , everybody wants something that sounds like something else..Thank god for Paint and canvas.

man, I can't relate to that at all. I wouldn't want to live in a world without great jazz music.

guess I'm with Basquiat on that one, nothing like drawing or painting to jazz for inspiration.



and my rant is simple and pretty new york-centric, but:

what the fuck is up with people who try to get on subways or elevators before the people in them can get out of the doors??? I mean every day, year in year out, you deal with idiots who do that in this city, and I just don't get it!?! I find myself afterward walking around with Travis Bickle's voice from 'Taxi Driver' in my head doing the "someday a real rain will come" monologue ...ugh (ok, told you it wasn't original or profound, but man that is one thing that really does piss me off)

That is not exclusive to New York, any large city, or this time of year. Its a basic problem of stupid people, that can be applied to any venture outside the home (be it walking, driving, parking, waiting in line....)
There is an entire class of individuals that do not understand that 2 objects can not inhabit the same space. Its simple physics, but eludes them entirely.

Honk the horn all you want-- you can't have my parking spot until I have vaccated it!
And if you go into a store, even a grocery, you'll wonder how the people got there to begin with-- I try to walk on the right side of an aisle, as one does in traffic in this country. An inordinate amount of people will head straight for you like some game of chicken. They expect to draw you into the weird little
dance where both parties step to the same side & then the other before apologizing. Fuck that- I just start breathing heavy & get rid of 'em.

And this one may be of special interest to Alex:
A child in a stroller has a stronger attraction to assholes than fuckin' gravity. People literally make a b-line across a park to trip over the wheels of a stroller, & then scowl at you or, worse yet, stop to comment on the child.
I need a cow-catcher for my stroller, like on an old train. To most people, the stroller is a liability, like an old man in a Buick that no one wants to get stuck behind. (Well, I drive a Grand Marquis so I get that enough, too!)
The way I see it, the stroller is designed for ramming-speed; if I wanted to go slowly, I'd let the kid walk. Kids have short legs though, & they whine, so I throw 'em in the stroller & plow right through crowds. Spikes coming out of the wheel spokes would be nice too.

Come to think of it, my grandpa's wheelchair needs these modifications as well; God knows people aren't getting any smarter

Honestly, I haven't had the stroller problem yet. Even down on canal street where tourist meets Chinatown, people part in front like the red sea. So far, so good. I hate the honking too, why the fuck do I need to listen to your polluting noise when the traffic is backed up and I have nowhere to go myself. Last time I checked, my wheels don't fold under my car and it doesn't fly.

Right. Here we go. RANT:

Guys: how stupid to you think I am??? Every now and then there will be this guy who asks what time it is. And even before he finishes the question I already know he doesn't care. COME ON!!! But ok, I play along. I'll give him the time and maybe he wonders off with an "OK, that didn't work" face. Or maybe he'll ask "Do you live here?" FUCK!

But recently there was this guy. I am in a drug store sending some photos from my laptop to that photo station via bluetooth. OK, I can see how this might be unusual and curious. Whatever. This guys asks me how this works and again: *tingle* I KNOW the guy doesn't give a damn.

I give him the explanation and I am really patient and kinda getting pissed cause even while I am taking time out to explain this stuff I know he doesn't really care. But I can't be bothered to say that so... I play along... I make the mistake of being nice. That's just me.

With the result that he follows me around wherever I go! GET A HINT!
When you asked me for my name I gave you my first name only.
When you asked me for my address I told you I wouldn't tell!
And when you ask me why, I am not even being polite anymore!
So why the fuck do you keep circling me???

So after all this I will NOT give you my email address so we can chat. NO! No, no, NO!! I stopped giving a shit about you when you asked for my address!

I know in some cultures it is perfectly normal to start small talk with the address, but round here I don't give out my address to complete strangers.

[lost in the flood]

Guys: how stupid to you think I am???

ok so not to get all girlfriendy on you... but i agree. what do guys think? are we just vapid morons? like we can't see through your little act.

this guy at the gym continually annoys the shit out of me. once i got the vibe that he was workin an angle i brought up the boyfriend thing. while he def. backed off a little, he was still lingering. then he met my boyfriend when i was showing him around my gym at school. and still he now "asks" me how my boyfriend is doing. like ok, you don't care, you want to see if we've broken up. everytime he brings him up he says something like... oh you have been together for so long... and being all weird. so i think he finally got the point and has moved on to my roommate. ugh...

oh and yeah i don't get why guys can't just get the hint sometimes. i have knee problems sometimes and i go to see the school trainer for taping or ice. so this guy spots me there and starts the usual "friendly" convo, oh what happened to your knee, what year are you, do you wanna hang sometime?. but we ladies know the difference. i was giving him the one word answers and the "heh" laugh. meaning=leave me the fuck alone. do i really have to say, listen just relax because not only am i taken but i'm so totally not interested. ugh. again.

oh and ps myspace guys, you're not being ballsy by asking me out on myspace, anyone can do it. i can go ask go ask joe from montana if he'll marry me on myspace... doesn't take balls. you never have to face the person, it's easy? right?

ok that's enough guy ranting. not all guys, just a select few that i happen to run into around.

[Seth]

not all guys, just a select few that i happen to run into around.

Ahem- women do the same things to me all the time, & I wear a wedding ring! The gym is the new singles bar. When I'm in the gym, I have goals that I want to accomplish. I'm not in training or anything, but to me its about a progression, pushing myself, & completely unloading the day's stress. I also like to get all that I can out of my time & I can't stand all the damn chatting going on.
I'm not picky (or else I could stay home!) but people are literally chatting, answering phone calls, general mingling. Why the fuck would you want the cell phone around in the gym!?
If I'm standing next to a bench or machine that you're using, I'm not waiting for a chance to ask for your number. I'm waiting for you to stop talking, finish your set & move on. If I even wanted to speak to you, I could have done it any of the 4 days that I'm in here every goddamned week.

But in all honesty, the guys are worse. I see guys using form that will lead to serious injury just so everyone can see them lifting the big weights, chatting with their lifting buddy like it was a quilting bee, & the ever popular sitting on a bench, resting between sets for 20 fucking minutes.
You're cheating, you're wasting your time, & you're wasting my time. Don't ask me if I need a spot to try & cover the fact that I caught you looking at me; why don't you work out while you're in the gym?

So yes, I get hit on by girls & guys all the damn time. The gender of the person is completely unimportant to me as the answer is no either way; its the circumstances, the situation, & that its supposed to be the one public place where its OK to wear your ratty t-shirts, breath with your mouth wide open, & possibly smell pretty bad by the end of it. I almost vomitted yesterday from the raw stench of cologne wafting off a guy 20 feet away from me! I'm afraid to use the shower there anymore!!!

I guess this was a rant, though basically I'm just telling everyone to leave me alone & get the fuck outta my way.

[lost in the flood]

I guess this was a rant, though basically I'm just telling everyone to leave me alone & get the fuck outta my way.

uh yeah i totally agree. i go to the gym to work out, hence the head phones. oh and yeah i also read comics when i'm on the bike. like how much more removed from the gym atmosphere do i have to be?! i'm not interested in listening to you OR seeing you. so go away!

and i love how people mistake the friendly "i-see-you-every-day-so-i'm-acknowledging-your-existence" nod as "i'm hitting on you" nod. completley different. i'm there no make up, sweaty, smelly, and SOOO not interested in being asked out.

oh and over the summer i was going to a gym and the guy at the front desk was ultra friendly, which of course turned into him asking me out. after that i was nothing, i didn't even get a hi as i walked into the door. mr gym friendly guy couldnt handle being turned down. UGH

so yeah both sexes are guilty of this. although i do wait for the day a girl hits on me, i just want to hear what she'll say hahah.

Since they were about to fall out of her pocket, I tapped her on the shoulder from behind to tell her, and when she turned and saw that she didn't know me, she started to tell me the time in an annoyed manner before I could even say what I was trying to!! :) Once I did though, and she saw I wasn't hitting on her, she smiled and thanked me. ...a few moments after though I think she realized that I must've noticed the money falling out becuase I was checking out her ass, and I'm pretty sure she went back to hating me again!)

I want to get a PT Cruiser, or the Chevy CHH, so if I ask you how the car handles, how much gas mileage it gets or how roomy it is, DON'T try to talk me out of it by telling me it has a small motor or the chasis of a Neon.

I. DON'T. CARE.

When I go to buy a car, I couldn't fucking care less how fast it goes, how much power the engine has, or how speedy it looks. Whether or not I can "pimp it out". When I go to buy a car I look for 4 things.

4. That's it. 4.

Cost. Comfort. Gas. Spacious interior.

Will the payments be low? Will it have a smooth ride? Will it get 20 or more mpg in the city? Do I have leg, elbow and ass room without moving the seat ALL the way back?

That's it. I don't care if it has 6 speeds. I don't care how fast it gets from 0 to 60. I don't care what kind of motor it has.

Cost. Comfort. mpg. Roomy.

Look at the cheaper Honda trucks if you want cheap and good mpg. PT Cruisers are not the best put together ride and they are not very Roomy at all IMO.

I'd have to sit in it to find out if I like the rommyness of it. Plus, I like the Chevy CHH better. My wife rode in a PT and says it's roomy, but she also said the same about a Mini Cooper.

I've been in a minicooper. It. was. not. roomy.

Even with the seat all the way back it was like Homer getting stuck in the waterslide tube.

Roomy for a 140lb 5'9" woman is not roomy for a 310lb 6' man.

Spoilers on the rear end of front wheel drive cars are pointless, retarded, and look silly.

Okay. So, you know those word verifier thingies all over the place now? The ones meant to stop spam by having you enter the word code, thus ensuring actual eyes are looking at it and it's not automated? Well, how about fucking making one that works, eh motherfuckers? I find that I very often have to enter this shit more than once because I get it wrong. Some letters look like numbers, some overlap, some are all caps or don't care about caps. Look, you stupid computer programmer motherfuckers; beta test this shit, would you? I'm happy to take part in anything that will help stop SPAM. I get 20 to 50 every day and appreciate the effort. But this system has been all over for years now and still doesn't work 100% of the time. So, fix it, already, would you.

My guess is that Microsoft is behind it. They're like George Bush, easy to blame everything on. So, I will blame them for this, the evil cocksuckers. Or, maybe it's actually Bush!

There IS no best of anything. Everybody on the internet thinks they know what the best movie ever is, the best song ever, the best comic ever. Whatever.

Any time I EVER see a post that says "best. movie. ever." like that, then I know the person is a fucking moron. And they always write it like that, with a period after each word. Maybe it's to emphasize how fucking stupid they are. Or how limited their world view is that they think they actually know what the best of anything is.

So, shut the fuck up and stop telling us what the 'best. song. ever.' is. Once you have personally heard every song ever recorded in the history of this planet, then maybe you might have some idea. And even then, it's only a matter of taste.

Once you realize you don't actually know shit about anything, then and ONLY then can you climb the mountain and touch Buddha's belly. Otherwise, please just shut the fuck up.

Punk Kids on my block.

My landlord told me the other day that he was looking out the window and saw some kids leaning in front of my car trying to pull the "H" off the front of my grill. I have a Honda.When they saw him in the window they ran.

WTF? I was such a bad kid but i never fucked with other peoples property, It was respect thing that i was raised on. These kids these days have no respect.
God help them if i ever see that shit.
