10.13.2006 Whoa Sacrafice Alert



In the old days, before God had a cellphone, it would be a struggle to get these kind of messages out to his people in time.

IT'S BEEN A MONTH AND A HALF OH MAN. But you did see that Death posted a new MYFACE blog, right? OF COURSE YOU DID, BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS KNEW HE WASN'T REALLY ANOTHER ONE OF MY ABANDONED IDEAS YET.

news for today:

engaged with young couple in the following conversation:
COUPLE: [can I check for more of this lightbulb?]
ME: Sure, let me... here, hold this.
OTHER EMPLOYEE: Well, you want me to help them?
ME: No, hold this and I'll help them.
OTHER EMPLOYEE: Well, I was going to help her.
ME: What? I'll -- no, I'll help them.
OTHER EMPLOYEE: Yeah, and somebody needs to help her [indicating additional customer].
ME: Ohhhh. Ok. [Begins to set down handful of lightbulbs.]
MALE (OF COUPLE): Shit, I don't care who goes up there. The ladder's right here I'll fucking go up on the ladder. [Walks toward ladder.]
ME: No, no, I've got it. [Takes ladder from male (of couple) who walks back to wait for me to bring it to the shelf.] I mean, I had lightbulbs in my hand. I could have thrown them on the ground to impress you...
MALE (OF COUPLE): Man I just wanted some fucking lightbulbs I didn't ask for no fucking smart ass attitude.

The rest of the conversation was basically an argument, in which it was decided that nobody will go look for lightbulbs.

This was on in the waiting room for my hand-bone surgery today. Another Starting Over housemate had to make jewelry and sell it at a profit even though she doesn't know how to do that and it was supposed to demonstrate that she has skills even though she thinks she doesn't. Ok and yeah she might have a lot of trouble with the concept of 'trying' but what the hell how is somebody supposed to do something completely new without ANY FUCKING TRAINING and succeed at it in a day? Most people who excell or innovate within a field have had YEARS of experience in that field. If anybody figured out how to do something new in a FUCKING DAY without the benefit of other people's experience then he or she was like one in a billion and probably didn't turn out to be anybody that important anyway. That is what is disappointing about the apprentice show. What do you expect of people that you aren't bothering to train? The tool who doesn't care if he does something remotely right or not, because his stupid tool parents will still love him either way, will win your dumbass contest. If you think you can see what people are capable of in a few hours without showing and explaining to them what they are supposed to do for several days at least, then you DON'T UNDERSTAND MANAGEMENT. I don't care if you DO run a company, you freakin tool.

Connie or whoever's coach was very upset about the whole thing, waiting on the street where Connie was supposed to be selling shitty jewelry, for an hour and a half. OH MY GOD SKANK SHE LEFT YOU TWO VOICEMAILS. WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST NOT BE A TOTAL ASS AND CHECK YOUR FUCKING VOICEMAIL, AND PLUS WHICH WE SAW THAT STREET IT WAS ON THE CAMERA THERE WERE JUST TWO PEOPLE THERE AT 5PM HOW DO YOU SELL JEWELRY TO TWO PEOPLE??? NOT BY YELLING SELF-RIGHTEOUS BULLSHIT AT THEM PROBABLY! Oh, and Ellen was on before that, and somebody named Wynona Judd played a song and it was awesome? And I am going to buy that cd now?

Anyhow. Maybe I talk about my hand bone on MYFACE. It is why this site was dead for a week.

myspace update: Death writes erotic indie-rock fiction.



6.12.2006 Clean joke.



That was also just about how most 'your mama' jokes went back then. Someone was getting on your nerves, you would just say, 'Oh yeah! Well, your mother sex with your father and then she gave birth to like ten new babies.'

Fuck it! This vacation has just become an OFF-SEASON. I spent my week, among other things, reading more other webcomics finally and YO THERE ARE TOO MANY HUMOR WEBCOMICS. Nobody needs me adding to it unless I've really got something to say.

During off season:
-I will be working on causing my two real comics to start existing more.
-Death will be active on Myspace and reviewing music -- man that guy is pretty determined!
-Occasional comics may appear here and they will be large and theoretically worth the wait.
-One of my real comics will begin. They are both SO AWESOME.
-No one will notice what this website is doing anyway. Man, if this website fell in a forest, nobody would hear SHIT.
-Oh, and Shit I need to do some gardening I mean seriously. I bought these, uh, gloves? I really need to use them.

And then at some point in the summer, SFP will return with season two, featuring four+ updates a week again! FUCKING COOL.
