I went to visit my parents at their boat this weekend. There was a pot-luck picnic sort of thing at the marina.... ----------- as a side note, i'll tell you that almost ALL boaters who are not sail or houseboaters are either- a)very old b)wanna-be sporty c)shameless "weekend warrior" alcoholics d)too rich for their own damn good e)all of the above. ----------------------- .....which i was not hyped for but my father made me go with him. We both whined at mom: "But they're all old and/or drunk!". Dad's old too, i guess, but he doesn't drink and neither do i. I get all my anti-social genes from him, so we usually end up together at these things, equally annoyed. So after everyone eats I'm sitting around, planning my escape and mom tells me to get the design portfolio i brought up to show her (the one i spoke of here.) and show it to her friends. One of them used to be a graphic designer. I don't want to do this. It's good stuff but I'm not a graphic designer, i'm an illustrator and i don't want to offend any real designers. Mom calls it "networking". So i cave, perhaps someone here has some contacts i could use one day? I get the book and sit with the people. They say it's very good and very nice and all that. Then this one REALLY old guy, who's been friends of my parents since i was 12 or so, who hasn't seen me on any regular basis for maybe 5 years, says: "Hey jen, you should have talked to my son Robby before you did all this. He would have told you to not go into that industry!" I just stare. disbelief. Woman who used to be graphic designer but now runs a daycare: "Yeah, no kidding! I used to be in that industry too!" hahahahah they all laugh. rage. Book is put in my lap. I storm off. Rage. -------------- Why was i incapable of telling off my parent's friends? How the hell does anyone become so fucking rude? Does anyone think i went into the arts for the money? Why must i justify myself to people who will be dead in 10 years? How was that information even supposed to help me, so many years after graduation? WHAT THE HELL MAKES PEOPLE SO FUCKING RUDE god. |

Because in 20 years, you could be one of them. "WHAT THE HELL MAKES PEOPLE SO FUCKING RUDE" It's called experience. You should have asked them why they said that, then stopped being so defensive and listened to their replies. |

They had the same reasons that everyone else has. There are no art jobs anymore, so they say. And, i simply do not care if there's no jobs right now. I followed where my skills and interests took me. Many people think this is a waste of time. I just don't understand what that means. Should i go learn plumbing? Plumbers get tons of money. And i would be miserable, but hey, it's a great industry. Is it just money? I can understand doing something like that if you have no natural talents and don't know what you want to do for a living. Then sure, be a plumber. Or a mortician. It doesn't matter what if you don't have any idea. Go get rich of a "good industry". But if you WANT to do something, why give up everything for money? And why laugh at someone trying what you failed at? it's sad. |
why can't you have a career for money and a career for interest? I do, however, agree that saying things like "Oh don't do THAT with your life!" is quite rude. There are more tactful ways to give advice. |
are you happy, wisper? why be concerned with what people who gave up their souls in pursuit of money say? tiggy: the nsa is going to give you the schitzo drug if you don't be careful, son. |

Antigone: I'll forward your conundrum on to someone who digs these sorts of things. Here's one he offered while back: 1+1=2 101+3=21 1001+101=13 1001+3=10001 101+100=110 20+4=200 200+24=200000 12+12=13 and 12+102=5 102+21=? 1000+1000000=? |

wisper. there is still work in the arts. look around you. moreover, who cares what a handful of people, who most likely do their part to muck of that talent pool have to say. |

by the way, I must say I absolutely LOVED the fact in your gallery, that the photo of Rob Halford's bald ass screaming into a mike fades into a photo of your daughter. Great selection of photos there, it really shows that you are talented not just in portraiture, but also in more abstract works. I really liked the color photo of the glass building against the blue sky, it was well composed. I also liked the the four girls with the whipped cream and the cherries. that was also, um, well composed. |
rowlfie...i dont think so. and honestly sem, the designer laid out the order of the photos. he inserted a few smarty pants things like that....on the intro, if you notice at some brief moment my name comes up as 'p ri k mo r on' which i thought was pretty fuckin funny. the architecture shot is of the Getty Museum. The surface you see there is actually all white, a section that looks a lot like the High in Atlanta. In fact, same architect, Richard Meier. and thanks for the nice words of course. i still have some tweaking to do and lets hope i can get some fuckin work from it, its long overdue. |

I tried to tell you that the machine didn't work so well and your people does not have a clue on how to TROUBLESHOOT the problem on the machine I was working on.And to say if your company believe communication is important for the company? Why not? When it was my last day at RTC Industries, I see Iqbal Khan so pissed off, he let it out of his mouth to someone mentioned about me,I surely liked to see him say that to me again.And yes ,Jeff you were pissed off too, No one talked to me about the problem. This surely enough makng me looks so bad, also making me one the most. Hmm, Joe Desidero too also was there... No one talked to me .....uhmm, I believed someone at RTC Industries flushed me out......Jeff, is that what you mean with the phase," You will be sorry if you don't finish the job", Jeff, I tried to tell you that. That there is something is wrong with that damn machine. I was proud of what i can do to accomplish with the job,every job done is part of your work signature. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.......... I have had enough of episode already.........Maybe soon... It is my turn to say it to you Jeff. You will be sorry..... |
WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN? Nice website. |
i saved what i had for the two most important people in my life. you know who they are. but Im getting better. I feed the fish again. I find time to try and water the plants and I will check in more here. i just felt polluted and didnt have much to say that wasnt foul and gaseous, thus i stepped off, which was probably a first since ive been coming to this joint. |
YOU BASTARD! |

there is an animal clinic near where I work, and if you walk by it they've got a big window that gives passbyers a loverly view of all the cats boarding there. For a long time I was in love with Shaggy, who was big and orange and fluffy, and liked to stare at my boobs for some reason. now that Shaggy is gone, I have been admiring Nathan Detroit, who is fat and has cool black and white hair. at home, my bunny just sits there. sometimes she flips her food dish over and kicks her poo around. I miss kitties. |

Good name. I'm glad you're back, Patrick. |

I knew you'd think so. |
I'm glad you're pack, Batrick. |
