Fish don't fry in the kitchen. Beans don't burn on the grill.

I keep telling the guy to work for himself, but he doesn't listen???

Quote from: Ravey on November 23, 2024, 09:45:08 PMCONGRATULATIONS on your promotion, Blaze!!!!! I am so damn happy for you!! Omg.. It seems like it was just yesterday when we were posting about you changing your career path. I wrote this on Jul 26, 2023 VVVVVVVV

"Hang in there, though.. You're new and will move up the chain where it will get easier!! Newbies always start out at the bottom with the hard stuff.  Think of it as a test so they can see what you're made of.  I have no doubt with your hard work ethic, you'll be singing a different tune in years to come."

And holy shit, you fast-tracked it!!   

Hell yeah I did lol, thanks!!! In fact, I tried for an even higher position a few months back, where I could've also went to first shift. They told me I scored the highest, and would've gotten it, had I had the experience from the position Im about to move into lol. So give it a lil more time, Im moving up

You're a dreamer! Mark my words...when you work yourself...the world will become your oyster. You don't need to work for some small-change shitter!

And also...if you wake up with a hangover, you don't even have to go to work, because you're wealthy as fuck and you need a rest. How good is that? 

Have you considered aquaculture?

Oh I get it man. Hell, I almost went into business a couple times, as a graphic designer, but it never felt right, and didn't seem like something I would be happy doing the rest of my life. Thought of opening a pub or a diner, but don't know if I wanna work weekends lol. Shit takes commitment. Just haven't decided what adventure I want yet.

Do you know why, as an artist myself, that I never went into graphic design? Because of the computer age and anybody can do it. It's not too late for a career change.

Unless you can print off pamphlets for a major firm, you'll never make any serious money. Why don't you try journalism....you love forums?

I'm not going to beat around the bush Blazor...graphic design sucks donkey balls. You'll be hitting midlife crisis soon and wake up one day thinking... "what the fuck am I doing with my life for fuck sakes!?"

Exactly, folks even outsourcing graphic design over seas for cheap.... but that's what they get, is cheap product.

My lil bestie and I joke about making a podcast lol. We say some funny ass shit.... hell you know the kind of conversations you and I had before lol. Me and her will say something and be like "that's podcast material right there"

Quote from: DKG on November 23, 2024, 11:40:26 AMJFK was the last good Democratic president.

Er, no.  He wasn't a very good President at all.  He was basically an empty suit who didn't know what he was doing who won the Presidency in 1960 through verifiable and indisputable ballot fraud in Illinois. He didn't accomplish much of anything during his three years in Office aside from sending "military advisors" to Vietnam that got us involved in that mess and failing to support the anti-communist Cuban Patriots at the Bay of Pigs fiasco which led directly to the nuclear stand-off with the Soviets with the "Cuban Missile Crises" that ultimately consigned the Cuban people to the past 60+ years of dystopian hell.

Jack Kennedy was not an icon.  He was just young, handsome, had a hot wife and got his brains blown in Dallas while riding in the back seat of a cool Chrysler convertible. If the getting his brains blown out thing hadn't have happened, he would not be so fondly remembered.

It was my grandma lol, and it was a Chevette that looked a lot like this, but was neon green lol, "the Green Machine" lol.

Shittiest car ever built and sold.
