If anyone's looking for an escape from reality, smoke a big doobie and go see Waiting. It's one of those movies. If you like Super Troopers, Harold and Kumar, etc. Entertaining.
Just saw this movie, wow. That was similar to my job but we don't have an annoying manager hanging around all the time. And we don't **** with peoples food like that a lot of that was just wrong, but overall pretty prettty prettty pretttttttty funny.
that's a priceless expression. more restaurants should have these rituals. I don't understand why people are so uptight about life. so what if I make dirty jokes, so what if I have a foul mouth, so what if I have a sense of humor. At least I'm open and honest. We all work so hard for these lives that don't mean anything unless we're having fun (or you just haven't found a way to have fun). I think that by human nature, competition, and the need to succeed, we all miss out on some enjoyable parts of life due to stress, pressure, and societal expectations.
There's a name for people who feel apart from the daily riff raff. We are called artists. We don't see the world in a 9-5 sort of way which is against the status quo. We experience life and get off on the next experience. It could be at 4 am on a wed. or 8 am on a mon, but we will find a way to paint, write, act, or make jokes (my favorite) and tell it like we see/hear it in our own way. So many creative minds get flushed down the toilet because the ratio of creatives to shall we say "left mind" people is about 1 to 14 and we feel inadequate/don't get paid/and fail to get respect. So when the juices are flowing, the images are churning, don't be ashamed, roll with it, and make art. It is a dying breed, because there is a difficult perceivable reward. What if art became as important as professional sports? what if people took to art to make it out of poverty? The further away we get from art, the more robotic we become. If only it were that simple.
This is why I love movies; an escape from reality, art, going on your own personal mind trip adventure. Create, dream, awake, go. We'll make a movie about you when you die; even you cynical fuc^s who get off on bashing others.
I smell the talent. What if we can make something right here? Will we be happier? More fulfilled?
Man I don't know what you just said little kid ........ but it came from the heart. But seriously as artists we must respect what we do because if we don't appreciate our work then why the hell will anybody else? So do whatever it is you do that makes you CHE' flow, and I'll do the same and then maybe one day I'll catch you off gaurd and you'll see my veiny wrinkled scrotum too.
You must have met a "Unique" artist. Yeah a lot of traditional artists take **** to seriously. But I would probably have to ask you to describe more what you mean by artist? Because isn't a comedian an artist? Are you gonna tell me Richard Pryor isn't funny? I mean I'm paint-n-shiiit but I still know how to laugh it up (When I'm not thinking about suicide).
I'm going to stand behind my first statement. Most artists (painters, drawers, the usual art stuff not verbal cleverness) are so serious and it's rare to see them excuding any sort of a grandeouse personality. Have you ever noticed if you're in a room with a bunch of arty types who dress really cool and have some exhibit that they're showing that they usually are not that fun to be around? I'm sure that they're brilliant and have a vision but they really don't have much to entertain you with. Oh, and my biggest pet peeve is when/if you bring up something mainstream they flip out or give you this look like "you are dead to me now."
case in point: Jackson Polluck (he's hot in the movie but he's moody)
I am actually an artist. And I guess if you wanna get down to the watermelon and fried chicken of it (stereotype) than yes all artists are a downer, and boring but thats why they die and then become famous so don't worry about it. I think I am more of an artist than any of those lame Phoneys, I have a very bad sense of style I have been told that I am funny and yet I can paint. A lot of my (artist) friends are the same way but we all go to art school and hate it. The reason is because of all the bug-up-their-a$$ cliche' little metrosexual f u c k heads that act like exactly what your descibeing. I think these Warhol-esque wanna be's are what is killing art from the inside they are bitter bitter people.
just add water
