That is blatant Trahearne slander and I will not have it.
Yes, Personal Story had us stand second to Trahearne – it is his wyld hunt we're helping accomplish, he who becomes the leader of the Pact – BUT! Unlike in SotO, our opinion did matter. Our choices had an influence on the story – Trahearne confided us his doubts, asked for our guidance, trusted our judgement, and more than gladly shared the honours. SotO, as far as I've run it, doesn't give us that acknowledgement – we are here, yes. But apart from Peitha leeching on our mind and finding in us a way to confer with the Ward... we might as well not be.
[Addendum because I didn't mean to make this sound like aimed at OP, just a general rant 😅]
Me whenever someone speaks of Trahearne 🤣 :
So.. after reading some posts about Secrets of the Obscure, I just now realize that we, the commander, are really just a helper monkey to the new Trahearne aka Peitha.
Arenanet needs to learn not to put us into a secondary role.
#gw2#guild wars 2#gw2 soto#secrets of the obscure#yes SotO has its issues and no I'm not enjoying it but I'm optimistic and still wanna see the story unfold as a whole before I judge it#but *this* will not stand this agression will not stand man#first Mabon then Peitha?!#none of these hold a candle to Trahearne! show some respect!#trahearne defense squad

hi youre the first person [who doesnt like the outcome of the mlb postseason] that showed up when i searched baseball and i need ANSWERS !!! i only really recently got into mlb so im out of the loop but why do people call certain teams “evil”??? is it just trash talking or is it like a serious accusation or are people just mad over teams spending lots of money please help im so confused
hi! you picked a hell of a time to get into baseball lol. i'll do my best to explain.
i don't think any team is quantifiably evil in any real way, but it's a combination of factors. Yes, these two teams spend a lot of money (iirc they're the two most expensive teams in the league) and they've been spending money for years to be consistently pretty good. The dodgers have been in the playoffs every year for the last decade, the yankees have made it every year except one since 2017.
because these teams spend so much money, they have some of the biggest players in the game. these are names like shohei ohtani, aaron judge, juan soto, mookie betts, freddie freeman etc. good players on good teams get marketed more -> they get pushed by the league to the point where you can't escape them -> people who don't really care about those players or their teams start to resent hearing about them. i used to be ambivalent about judge, now i actively dislike him. i used to LOVE ohtani, and while he's still the only dodger i want to see succeed, i also don't want every post i see on instagram to be about him.
also, both teams are known to have pretty obnoxious fanbases, not to mention they're both extremely big market teams (more people follow these teams than teams like detroit or washington) no matter who wins, either team is going to be even more inescapable than they already are.
overall, the general sentiment is while yes, it's fun to hate these teams because they're big and successful, it's also just a very boring matchup because we've been hearing about them all year. there's no surprise, there's no excitement, you basically just know they're going to hit a bunch of home runs and we'll see highlights for the next five months. idk. there's no soul in this matchup and i wish they could both lose but also sports fans are known for being dramatic.

Okay so I think the ghouls would be fucking fascinated by ice cream but when they find out bubblegum ice cream exists.. they lose their marbles. Cause like hands down they can not have any kind of gum, the ghoulettes can, but they can't.
So showing them bubblegum ice cream would be hilarious. Mountain would be intrigued and try a few bites, Soto and Swiss start picking out the tiny pieces of bubblegum and shoving them in their mouths (they are the reason why the no bubblegum rule is in place), rain trys it but then remembers why he doesn't eat ice cream (it makes his whole body super cold and it hurts at first then just makes him uncomfortable and craving warmth), phantom just looks at you like "Tf is this" after taking 1 bite, aether thinks it's okay too sweet for him, end result you have rain cuddled up on you trying to get warm and slightly anxious because Swiss is sticking tiny bits of chewed gum on things meanwhile Aether is harshly judging him and soto is trying to put gum in mountains hair without mountain noticing... mountain is oblivious.
Lesson learned: no bubblegum.. EVER
I’m at the beach at beside the pool they have a standard icecream and Italian ice stand going inside with like nachos and shit, so this is based off of it!
The ghost beach episode everyone wanted
“Paaaapaaaaaaaa! Please!!” Sodo whined blocking the sun from copias chair laying in the sun.
The poor man sunburnt but he claimed that he needed “tan” so the ladies would notice him. Thank goodness they have aloe at the hotel.
“Ugh, ok dokie fine.” Papa sighed, searching for the zip lock bag full of bills.
Sodo and aether stood excitedly, calling the other ghouls over to go with them.
“Ooooooooooh why do they put a tigers blood on it?” Swiss looked a bit sad, but then brightened up when the sign said, “wine.”
Once they order and return back to the chairs without copia hundred dollar bill, they all take a bite and all of them are instantly in heaven!

MYLES SMITH - "STARGAZING"
youtube
"I just signed with my label [RCA Records], and I was like, 'I want to write something that’s really warm, fun and happy.'"
[4.15]
Jonathan Bradley: Three makes a trend, and it turns out the '10s are back, baby! Myles Smith is riding shotgun all the way to the folk-EDM festival and he... did I just hear a millennial whoop? [3]
Wayne Weizhen Zhang: "It's okay to feel x," reads Myles Smith's Spotify bio. What an exciting, original insight, reflective of the amount of utility one might glean from this generic thumper, which sounds like a Coldplay and Lewis Capaldi hybrid. [4]
Alfred Soto: I hear OneRepublic's "Apologize," hints of Chris Martin's oat-voiced yearning, and in the combination of piano + shows of vocal soul Sam Smith's creamy dance tracks from a decade ago. I'm less churlish in the face of Myles Smith's generic humility as I get older. Someone has to testify on the pop charts. [6]
Taylor Alatorre: Wake Me Sister Up Top Counting Will Go By Gone Paradise World Let Ho House Soul the On Home Talks I of Hey Hey Gone Her Little Drive Wait Lego Riptide Stars Gone Home. (English translation: “Accept the truth of Eternal 2013 into your heart today.”) [7]
Katherine St. Asaph: I realize it's hypocritical to praise Shinedown's remarkable recreation of 2004 but criticize Myles Smith's remarkable recreation of 2014, but christ. [1]
Brad Shoup: It's fucking cryogenic, isn't it? [5]
Harlan Talib Ockey: Close enough. Welcome back, "Budapest" by George Ezra. [4]
TA Inskeep: Mewling post-Sheeran nothings -- of course it's big. [2]
Mark Sinker: Lovely voice, and the song does good work with that — but that’s all it does really; as melody and story it ends up at just one pleasantly unexciting level. [5]
Ian Mathers: It's for the best that this was a lyric video so that I could be immediately disabused of the notion that he sings of the two of them as "intertwining songs" (it's "souls" instead, much less distinct and lovely; oh well). Still, if we're going to continue to try to fill every single niche between the ballad and the dancefloor, this feels like a relatively productive mutation. [6]
Nortey Dowuona: Songwriter Peter Fenn, during a 2018 interview with Vogue LA, mentioned that he's scored commercials for "Dr. Seuss, Thumbtack, Red Cross, Baptist Health Care, and Dropbox" under the Sunny Productions banner. (The website no longer exists.) He also wrote this light, soft gem. Please take a chance on this guy -- he's very talented and capable of making soft cotton-candy guitar pop. Do not judge him by this. [5]
Jacob Sujin Kuppermann: Every part of this is rote; the verse melody recalls "Heart and Soul," the chorus Avicii. This is the music that remains when all creative choices have been removed from the songwriting process. I feel nostalgic for Benson Boone already. [2]
Scott Mildenhall: The song of a Southgate summer; a man who would pick this for Eurovision if he could. Once more, his pragmatism would prevail -- it would finish fifth, bewildering all who see only a barren display. All the stars have gone missing, and that in itself is remarkable. It's an achievement to write something so cosmically vapid, but this is what they train for. [4]

@thatndginger This ask you sent me back in November (mea culpa) was sitting in my drafts. But since it no longer seems possible to edit a reply to an ask (?), I had to start fresh.
Original Ask: Happy STS! I might be bearing my own secrets a little here, but oh well! Your characters are playing a dating game, which archetype are they going for? (ie: the arrogant one, the cold one, the childhood friend, the older man, the shy one, the flirt, etc)
Answer:
Fortunately for us, Dorian is as much an expert on dating games as they are vampires and dinosaurs. They graciously compiled the data for us in their observation notes while traveling with their companions
Test Subject #1: Isaac Soto
Little to no prior experience with material in question
Self-reported type: Claims he doesn't have one
Game Selected: Love, Me
Subject initially very grumpy and reluctant to play. Finally agreed after I batted my eyes teehee 💜
Took nearly 20 minutes deciding which character to spend personal time with when first prompted
Went with the Shy, Quiet Type who only opens up after earning her trust (recognition of the self? working out personal issues through fiction? just trying to throw me off bc I'm watching?)
Played through that storyline and got happy, romantic ending. Subject expressed general satisfaction and was amenable to a second try
Went with the Playboy who's secretly deeper than he appears and craves love (going to the other extreme? unconscious desires?)
Subject sarcastically expresses doubt and scorn about Playboy's every action. Not unlike with a Certain Someone irl 😏
Subject grew increasingly more flustered and annoyed as Playboy showed more facets and genuine feelings
Subject very quiet and went to bed after getting happy and romantic ending. Has been still and silent but not actually sleeping for the past half hour
Test Subject #2: Kinslayer
Claims extensive knowledge of material in question
Self-reported type: "Gothic novel protagonist" or "anyone with a heart that continues to beat despite how easily it bleeds"
Game selected: Monster Wife
Judging from the amount of tentacles involved in the game design, I may have made a grave miscalculation here
Subject has kindly offered to let me know when to avert my eyes. However, I will remain vigilant. For science 🫣
Went with Tsundere Type werewolf (identity crisis? repressed emotion? just likes brawny women? <- relatable)
Surprising amount of story layered between the heaving bosoms and horny cutscenes
Subject makes game and gift choices which net high approval every time
Image feed flickered several times during more emotional scenes. Subject apologized off-handedly. Said they'd been "tasting the story", which can interfere with electronics (???)
Subject achieved happy and rather explicit ending. Asked whether I had learned anything
I deflected by suggesting we go out for pancakes, which was accepted
Subject #3: Renato Faria Dimas
Has heard of subject matter but has no experience with it
Self-reported type: Self-destructive and/or tragic heroes
Game selected: Wine x Blood x Roses
Subject very amused by the vampire theme
Despite stated preferences, subject is romancing Unassuming Girl with Glasses. Claims it's bc she stood out from the rest of the brooding/seductive characters (protective streak? desire to corrupt? being honest about his feelings for once?)
Unassuming type is indeed quite interesting. Not shy per se, but with a disarming cheer, and keeps avoiding talking about her history
Subject obviously intrigued despite his jokes about how she must secretly be evil. Gives no sign if he's noticed he uses the same cheery tone as her while doing this
Turns out Unassuming is much older than the other vampires, and she killed a lot of people in the past. She's slowly turned around, though, making a quiet life for herself among books and studying nature
Subject did not have any quips for these revelations
Same during the points where Unassuming questions whether she even deserves peace after all she's done
Subject repeatedly chose responses that reassured Unassuming that she's not a monster deep down and that people can change and learn from mistakes
Happy, platonic ending achieved
Subject thanked me for showing him the game despite his haunted stare. Quietly slunk off to brood somewhere for awhile before I could figure out how to get him and Subject 1 to just talk already
#dysthanasia#answered asks#what type does Dorian like you ask?#they can't say no to a Rough Around the Edges but Sincere type#or just a classic Mysterious but Likely Murderous Vampire

No surprise here as Ronald Acuña Jr. takes over the top spot following his historic season for the Braves that resulted in a unanimous NL MVP Award. That decision was made even easier by last year’s No. 1 right fielder (Aaron Judge) moving over to center field for this year’s rankings. Speaking of position switches and Yankees outfielders, Juan Soto – the No. 2 left fielder last year – checks in as the No. 3 right fielder this year. And if that wasn’t enough to show just how stacked this position group is, the reigning NL Rookie of the Year Award winner joins in at No. 4.
RIGHT FIELDERS
Ronald Acuña Jr., ATL (Last year: 5)
Kyle Tucker, HOU (4)
Juan Soto, NYY (No. 2 LF)
Corbin Carroll, AZ (NR)
Fernando Tatis Jr., SD (9)
Seiya Suzuki, CHC (NR)
George Springer, TOR (6)
Teoscar Hernández, LAD (8)
Adolis García, TEX (NR)
Josh Lowe, TB (NR)

DE PODER A PODER: YANKEES VS DOGERS, LA SIERE SOÑADA
Los Ángeles, Califor nia., viernes 25 de octubre de 2024.-Dos titanes se enfrentarán en la Serie Mundial. La batalla entre los Yankees de Nueva York y Dodgers de Los Ángeles es una de las más esperadas por los fanáticos, pues ambas novenas llegan en igualdad de condiciones
En cuestión de nóminas, son los Bombarderos del Bronx quienes toman la delantera con un total de 309.4 millones de dólares, mientras que la novena californiana no está muy lejos, con 241.1 millones de dólares, sin embargo, en ambos casos, los nombres que se encuentran en los roster justifican las altas cantidades.
Para nadie es un secreto que en las filas de Dodgers y de Yankees hay dos peloteros que se robaron el show en la temporada regular. La superestrella japonesa Shohei Ohtani, bajo el mando de Dave Roberts, y el líder de cuadrangulares de todas las Grandes Ligas, Aaron Judge, con la franquicia neoyorquina.
Quizás son los Yankees los más necesitados de estar en la cúspide, pues no se llevan a casa un Trofeo del Comisionado desde 2009, en cambio, los californianos se coronaron en 2020.
Aunque se han visto las caras en 11 ocasiones, con saldo positivo para los Mulos -con 8 Clásicos de Otoño ganados (1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1977 y 1978)- por solo 3 de LA (1955, 1963 y 1981), la última vez que se encontraron fue hace 43 años y muchas cosas ya cambiaron.
Los mánagers
Aaron Boone
La séptima temporada fue la vencida para Aaron Boone.
Desde que el ex jugador tomó las riendas de Yankees en 2018, su plan de trabajo siempre fue la unión sin protagonismos individuales.
En este 2024, a los Bombarderos del Bronx se unió el dominicano Juan Soto, que supo responder y acompañar a sus cañoneros Aaron Judge y Giancarlo Stanton lo que elevó las expectativas de Nueva York, sin embargo, el enfoque no cambió, pues en Playoffs los maderos de Soto y 'El Juez' se apagaron por momentos y le tocó al resto del equipo sácalos adelante.
"La cercanía que estos muchachos tienen entre sí y el trillado refrán 'jugar el uno por el otro' es palpable en este grupo. Ha sido así todo el año, incluso desde el primer día. Estos muchachos se aman y aman hacerlo el uno por el otro", compartió Boone.
Dave Roberts
Aunque Dave Roberts es un mánager polémico, nadie puede negar que, bajo sus manos, los Dodgers han prosperado.
Tomó las riendas del equipo en 2016 tras un breve paso con los Padres de San Diego en 2015, y poco a poco fue construyendo su historia, lejos de los fantasmas por la sequía de títulos.
Y así, después de 32 años, le devolvió la grandeza a Los Ángeles al ganar la Serie Mundial de 2020.
"En realidad, trato de enfocarme en el momento. Pero cuando ves la historia en ese contexto, es abrumador cuando quieres hacer tu trabajo y ser bueno en eso, para tratar ganar un juego en un día determinado. Hay mucho que viene con eso. Pero no tomo a la ligera esa historia", compartió el mánager hace 8 años.
Los bateadores
Aaron Judge
Su poder en la Postemporada ha ido de menos a más.
Es un jugador indispensable en el line up de Yankees, sobre todo porque es quien promedia mayor velocidad de salida con sus batazos con 96.3 millas por hora, así que entre más fuerte pega a la bola, mayores posibilidades de volarse la barda tiene.
Hasta ahora tiene 2 cuadrangulares en su cuenta, los cuales consiguió en la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Americana.
Giancarlo Stanton
La buena forma del bateador designado no se puede esconder en la Postemporada.
Antes de octubre, Giancarlo Stanton bajó su nivel y las lesiones lo alcanzaron, así que no había altas expectativas.
Pero, sin dudarlo, asumió el rol de líder con 5 vuelacercas en la Serie Divisional y de Campeonato, y registra un promedio de bateo de .294.
El jonrón más potente que ha conectado es de 117.5 millas por hora.
Shohei Ohtani
El japonés está obligado a retomar el protagonismo en el Clásico de Otoño, no solo por su contrato multimillonario, sino porque sus números son de otra galaxia.
La velocidad promedio que alcanza una de las pelotas que conecta con el madero es de 95.5 millas por hora, un poco menos que Judge, pero igual de potente, mientras que su cuadrangular más poderoso fue de 117.8 mph.
Ohtani se mandó la bola del otro lado del parque en 3 ocasiones y solo necesita un empujón más para explotar.
Mookie Betts
Es un bateador que deslumbra con su bate y su guante cuando se levanta con el pie derecho.
Sus apariciones en el diamante son de gran ayuda cuando los Dodgers no encuentran el camino hacia el triunfo.
A su nombre ya puso 4 cuadrangulares y 12 carreras impulsadas con porcentaje de bateo de .295.

I love Juan Soto ❤️ once again, I said hit one over the wall, and he did!! Juanderful!! Number 37 for the year!!
Aaron Judge hits back to back with Soto and gets his 51st home run. Multi homer game, again!! He gets a curtain call, and rightly so!!! Judge was so shy as he took his curtain call. He's such a sweet man. He's still humble. I love that 😍 he's gotten 5 homers and 8 RBIs in his last 6 games. Holy guacamole!!!
The Soto Judge Show continues!!! I love these guys!!
Giancarlo Stanton hits back to back to back with another home run!!! Number 23 for the year!! That's why they are my boys!!! Un fucking believable!!! Spectacular 😁😍
I love these guys!! I love this game!! The Soto Judge Stanton Show!!! Triple threat!!! Let's go Yankees!!!!!
Sept 17, 2020, was the last time that the Yankees went back to back to back. It was Gardner, Voight, and Lemahieu back then.
LET'S GO YANKEES!!!!!
#Juan Soto#aaron judge#giancarlo stanton#back to back to back#un fucking believable#incredible#they are sooooooo great#the Soto Judge Stanton Show#joy#love#happiness#thank you#sharing#baseball#sports#ny yankees#let's go yankees#ny baseball#bronx bombers#these guys are amazing#how do they do it#phenomenal#magnificent#my boys#i love this game#it's our year#wow#yippee cayay motherfucker

Yankees Sweep Twins.
Yankees 5 Twins 0 W-Schmidt (5-1) L-Ryan (2-3)
The New York Yankees are showing the Twins just how good the American League East can be. They took the first two games of the series and looked for the sweep this afternoon. The Yankees were ready from the start as Anthony Volpe smacked a Joe Ryan fastball out to left for a solo homer to lead-off the game. Aaron Judge kept the rally going with a walk and Alex Verdugo singled to center. Gleyber Torres doulbed in a pair and New York led by three before Minnesota grabbed a bat. The Yankees would get back to work in the seventh as Gleyber Torres lined a one-out double to center and Austin Wells singled him home. New York had one more rally in the seventh when Juan Soto walked and Aaron Judge doubled. Alex Verdugo hit a sac fly to left and the Yankees lead grew to five. Meanwhile, Clarke Schmidt was phenomenal with eight shutout innings. He struck out eight Twins and Victor Gonzalez had a 1-2-3 ninth as the Yankees finished off the sweep.
-Final Thoughts- Joe Ryan had a rough first inning then settled in. He went 5 1/3 innings and allowed four runs on six hits with a walk and five strikeouts. Caleb Thielbar eventually got out of the sixth, Cole Sands gave up a run in the seventh, and Steven Okert had a perfect eighth. Jay Jackson had a 1-2-3 ninth. The Twins scattered three hits on the day. They went 0-for-1 with runners in scoring position and left six men on base. Today's game lasted a quick two hours and fifteen minutes. The Twins will head to Cleveland for a big early season series with the Indians. Simeon Woods Richardson will face Triston McKenzie tomorrow night.

THE GONG SHOWS
(Thoughts on COMEDY, HIP HOP, HARD WORK and RESPECT)
I had come to DENVER in the FALL of 1996 on a GREYHOUND BUS. The trip was relatively uneventful. I watched a braggart kid from CONNECTICUT who ran his mouth the whole way get yolked buying drugs on the street outside the station in CHICAGO. Those places were very dangerous in the 90’s at every stop. It was a cheap way to cross the country, but it would lead a person through a gauntlet of bizarre dead-end places where the dirty dog stopped to collect the living attempting to find greener pastures.
GREG had talked me into coming. I saw him that summer and he was quite pointed about the perilous state of my plight should I choose to not leave NEW ENGLAND and get out west to escape the headaches and severe DOPE CRISIS that was breaking like a wave at NAZZARRE. It was the 90’s and things were seemingly very prosperous and the severity of QUID PRO QUO was profound. CREDIT, LIFE, DEBT, and CHOICE all loomed as they impeached the president and I went away from the dark strange world I was raised in and got on a bus to build a thing in a blank form.
Our doings would lead to a myriad of things and alliances. VICTOR IZITT aka PRIZNA 101 aka DJ RICOCHET, our roommate, and I formed a GRAFF crew quickly with some other kids and would throw our first parties in 1999 as 314 BREAK CORP with our mentor ED SANTIAGO aka NRG BOY. This event would feature many of the crew mates who would charge at endeavors they found clever and proliferated to levels of dopeness to deep to touch here in any correct manner.
COUNTDOWN was held in DEC in 1999 at BUMP AND GRIND cafe on 17th and PENN in DENVER. CLIFF T, the owner, and our big brother let us use the space last minute as our initial plan fell through. The BUMP AND GRIND was a coffee shop, bakery, and drag brunch destination of over 15 years in DENVER prior to much of that type of culture being more mainstream. CLIFF had lived in NY in the 90’s as well as had taken the gritty attitude of DETROIT where he grew up and fused it with the NY roots he came to earn. His hard work supported many of us and allowed a real family of artists and outsiders to gather around a father figure.
GREG and I would riff. It would lead to him pursuing comedy and eventually our collaborations in this space. We threw events in different spots despite the stigma of music and comedy. I was in two HIP-HOP groups at the time and GREG was running the SQUIRE LOUNGE open mic that lasted over a decade. We were speaking on the GONG SHOW I had thrown with BABAH FLY of BUGABOO, one of the two groups I was in. The show had been a cool idea but the spot was some odd biker bar in a pocket no one even knew existed. While this may have been sick if we wanted to stage some COCK FIGHTS or perhaps get that FIGHT CLUB we kept hinting at starting in motion.. But BAD IDEAS tend to stay stagnant for good reason.
(It is not possible to remember which idea really came first as the dates for them were close)
We stumbled into the idea of doing an actual GONG SHOW but really making it more in the mean-spirited SQUIRE LOUNGE model GREG had already formed. He pitched his comedy partners who were a decent size crew at this time and all agreed it was a great idea. Initially, the idea of YOU SUCK GET OFF THE STAGE and putting DAVE SOTO in a CASER suit was all just the ball rolling downhill. We somehow found the real GONG SHOW GONG that MR CHUCK BARRIS himself had WACKED to end the MEAN JEAN dancing and so many other people's blind charge at FAME.
The show was a nightmare in a lot of ways. It’s easy to DJ or just do COMEDY. Not a lot of moving parts. The show we built had a shitload of performers of a varying degree of skill, songs that would need to be played and cued, video and audio cues to be flown in live from the board, and an entire banter of judges on stage as GREG paraded the stage of the ORIENTAL THEATHER. He would take the stage as the monster he would allow himself to transform into called BOBBY VALENTINO. This person was a version of my boy but was the EVIL PURE SITH version of him that was the DOG he kept muzzled at all times. The act of letting this person stand on stage and act out this mustachio’d fever dream of filth was stepping deep into the chummed waters in a sausage suit…
The show went off in flying colors despite the massive technical problems mostly due to the use of DVD content in the live show. Most of the performers and the actual content given to my AV guy were OLD and used DVDs that were not fit for home play much less a production. These disasters would really rock the booth and boar but ultimately it was never a thing I let get to me. The shows would run 3 nights usually and we ran it 4 times I feel like. Each one is more complex and pro than the last. The first show did have the BUKAKKAE ALARM CLOCK skit GREG and I wrote like so many bits just being fools talking shit at the BUMP AND GRIND.
The roots of that CRUEL demand for the best and funniest stuff were rooted in that hungry world we came out of. The characters we came up with in that scene have gone on to define a era in COMEDY and put our CITY on the MAP. It’s a proud thing to look back on. So many names that are too numerous to mention respectfully. It’s been amazing to see the organic way true people delivering and producing shows and working with love will invariably rise up and create a legacy. I do not ever claim anything beyond what I know I’ve done and never waited for anyone to tell me it was ok. This was offputting I guess and it made me leave DENVER. I’m proud to represent my home even though it’s not where I was born. DENVER is a place where many writers find themselves on the journey. It’s a strange and mythic place I love and hate in equal measure. So many memories of joy and such deep loss and sadness. Some of the faces of the sublime humans I know still knock on my door as I awake daily. But the faces of the EVIL folk who I had to face and pass on were not jokes and warned the young people that it is not a joke.
The West was won in AUDACITY. The concept of MANIFEST DESTINY is a QUID PRO QUO of taking the land from those who were there in AUDACITY and clutching a GUN and BIBLE on the other hand. This is not a debatable fact. But to forget this trespass and pass on is silly. The West was won in BLOOD and ACTIONS GOOD, BAD, and UGLY. But the actions of simple passion and love all live side by side as those monsters ride off to rob another train or train their sights on the next slow-moving animal to poach.
The GONG SHOW is a moment in the AMERICAN MYTHOS that represents the common person being allowed the 15 seconds ANDY has promised in jest. But the AUDACITY to be a FOOL or be COOL is a thing that most don’t know. It’s easy to see a comic, deejay, producer, artist, writer, chef, or human as a thing you get to judge and talk out an opinion on. This is everyone’s right. BUT PLEASE KNOW. If you do not make, do, say, think that thing you choose to run your YAP ABOUT… It is fully permissible to have a REAL ONE tell you quite simply and plan that it’s not your place and it’s probably best to respectfully STFU.
FOR G.B. 314 and VICTOR PRIMO IZZIT 314
