Previously, on Nerd Nexus: http://www.nerdnexus.com/so-i-went-to-this-theme-park-pt-2/ Where was I? Oh right, IN A DARK, POWERLESS, BORING C&C! Well naturally I caught some shut-eye. Not much really happened during the night. Lots of 'roar' sounds playing from outside. I wish they'd have shut up, I mean, sleeping on a floor is uncomfortable enough, right? The funny-lookin' fatass from earlier had hauled out and I guess he was gone. They kept talking about him anyway. "Wayne" this and "Wayne" that. Even ol' Samuel L., "We can't get Jurassic Park back online without Wayne Knight." Oh man, no internets? Now what am I gonna do when you fix the power, play solitaire? Well okay, I'm not gonna lie; Freecell FTW.
End of Discussion
A stranger enters the bar. He is of average hight and build, his hair and colouring are both dark but his bearing holds no menace. As he passes, you detect the memories of smells in the air; exotic spices, sun bleached deserts and the cold salt of all seven seas. He sits and stares at you, around his eyes cracks, wrinkles and lines tell tales of laughter and loss. The deep forest colour of his irises are full of life, hidden within them a keen mind searches your face in a friendly fashion and in that moment your soul is examined carefully. He leans forward in a conspiratorial manner and you turn your head to hear his quiet whisper, "Are you a seeker?". Confused and intrigued you can't stop your head from signalling affirmatively. "Ah" he replies. "I've found it" and he tells you... Finally after months of travel and misadventure I have returned. It has been an arduous quest across the vast surface of our world. I have travelled by every method known to man, and some only previously to women.
Rants From A Film Students – Artists Do Not Work For Free
This Topic has been on my mind many times but what inspired my to finally write about it was reading a hilarious site called http://clientsfromhell.net/ It's full of anecdotes from graphic designers and web designers about funny and crazy requests from clients. At least 50% of the posts involve clients trying to scam their way out of paying the designer. The film industry has similar situations. The film industry tries to get as much as they can for free. A lot of the problem is young designers or young people aspiring to go into film don't realize that they are supposed to be paid for their work. People are spoiled by young people's ignorance and expect the same from established professionals. I myself am just entering the film industry and it is true that early in your career there are a lot of things you have to do for free in order to get your name out there, for example I was a PA for a Billy Talent video about a month ago.
So I Went To This Theme Park… (Pt. 2)
Here we are in these green SUV's, I don't know, I guess green's the new bling or something - and the bratty chick I mentioned? Oh man, she has a couple orgasms over the inter... ackta... viddy... ah, the touchscreen. I'm just sitting here thinkin' "man, if I want touchscreen, I'll just get a DS. OLD!". So everyone who ISN'T a total fag just gets into the other lime on wheels and we finally get moving. After passing through some giant doors and a rewind-the-VHS-to-watch-it-over-again joke about King Kong, we finally get to the POINT of this whole trip; the wildlife that supposedly isn't just some 3D-image. Apparently, we're entering the "Dielofosore-us" pen and wow, what do you know, no pee on the car. No monkeys. No 3D... no nothin'. Srsly, it was trees with bad narration. Like, if you're gonna pour all this money into a theme park, at least get Morgan Freeman to narrate, right? So yeah, guess you could say "total bull, yo". In the middle of the road at the next term, half the people get out of the SUVs, probably on account 'a how bored we were.
