Um, as an artiste, did you not tell him he needs a hella thicker skin.

People will do and say all kinds of nasty things, in a culture that supports this type of extremism.

Just because they are nasty and pulling for YOU and YOUR side doesn't mean it is RIGHT behavior.

Stop rewarding bad behavior on both fronts; tell supporters you can handle criticism w/o them lambasting YOUR critics as much as it is nice to have that loyalty, but in the meantime, you can certainly tell your critics what you feel but tempered w/ a human heart. Don't let them drive you off grow strong roots, but don't give in to the pain of rejection nastily phrased.

Hang in there, I'm so proud of you both; you can do this.

Life is long, Mrs. These people you tear down today may be critical in your future and the opposite as may be your supporters w/ a change of heart ruin you're future.

Be very careful, pain and righteousness are slippery slopes; don't create the cycles you want to break, believe me it is not pretty; regurgitated issues are hard to relive.

Now where's that Aeton guy , pacocat, right in the okayers' ball? Why isn't he in here calling me names; or anyone of his buddies over there?

Be careful what you call crazy; today's crazieness could be tomorrow new way of life

I do not understand the "God did it" scenario. This is a complete testament to free will.

And free will is so much a part of this....

we create our own reality, lock, stock and barrell.... it's a problem of our short term memory that we don't remember that we did, indeed, start down a course but sometimes it takes a very long time to get fruition from a seed or see the beauty of the perfection of our throw.

I actually have to present some concepts about how seed becomes fruit or cause becomes reality very soon. So, I don't have it clear yet.

Initial conditions must be focused and strong; if you launch a cause and then discount it or change it the next minute, it loses it's punch.

There are those that can see patterns unseen by our crowded minds; there is nothing mystical about it; to be unfettered to the clutter can and is achieved. We all have these moments of clarity.

It would be a God did it moment if we lived in a closed life system but our lives are full of openness. we can study and believe in determinism b/c humans follow some set patterns. We have not evolved
beyond our trimmed garden-variety lives; our basic fear of the unknown and desire to dominate and control what we do not understand. Our cave man fear of chaos.

I embrace enough of my genetic code to want a job so I can be out of the cold and clothe and feed myself and to find my keys in the morning; but flexible thinking is a part of me as well. To not accept what only my 6 senses tell me; to apply all my senses and to do it sensibly.

It is said that once you set your mind and heart to something, everything in your "universe" will work toward getting it. Even the counter problems and people are there to help you refocus and adjust what you want. the "are you sure" factors.

If you're not getting them, then you're endgame will not net you what you want.

SO don't resent these "negatives" embrace them and THANK them!

And let me take part of a very bad day to speak of artistes'

Just because you claim it, does not make it so.

Just because you cry artiste, that does not give you carte blanche on being a crummy person. Sure you can be an artist; however, do you plan on shutting away the world for the next 40 years to protect the fragility of the ego or are you gonna say "frak it!" I'm going to do my art in some form regardless of outcome. Letting go of outcome, again.

Now before hackles go up, I am, by no means, saying you are a crummy person. In, fact, after seeing the endgame I would surmise the exact opposite. It is a Buddhist saying you can see the wife in the husband's actions and if we are speaking of tolerance and forgiveness, you are incredible in that regard. You go and keep going!

I don't think if RDM needed to smoke 3 packs a day, drink 3 bottles of scotch and bang anything he can grab, all for his "art" : you'd go for that. Though history is full of that kind of artist,too.

May be you would, but well you'd be more tolerant than most people.

Again, free will, if you are not going to attempt to please us, the unwashed, uneducated masses, crawling with vermin, than you should be prepared to starve or horror of horrors:become one of us.

SO, be careful once again, or you may be picking out that cardboard box sooner rather than later.

You can't be on the mark all the time, sometimes you will slip; opportunities come and dry up constantly.

If you are smart and not snarky by design; you create a public and private artistic face. One to feed you physically, one to feed your other hungers and passions.

I feel the screaming and neon arrow with the big "Artiste" on it is a waste of valuable time; most artists i studied and know worry more about the art they are creating: with some it consumes them: than the label they give themselves.

Just some points, to consider.

I have diabetic gastro-paresis and so today i'm quite ill with it but even as my body fights with the food I eat, my mind is at peace.

I have horrible intestinal pain, and nausea; enough for cold sweats and fetal positions today. I stay in bed w/ water and my laptop propped next to me and a clear path to my bathroom.

The problem is that I don't know from day to day what I'll digest and what i won't; and because of it my blood sugars are wonky at best.

I've had one bath today and I'm considering a second if I sweat anymore.

Talk about hell on Earth in the physical realm.


But my mind is very clear. odd ain't it?

Hmmmmm.... I'm going to say something you may not like.

When certain events allow a person to blaze a trail; to create something unique, there is almost always a lull afterwards; for rest, rejuvenation, reflection.

If the trail blazer does not rest his machete arm; he will injure himself, and might impair his future journey. So many times, if we do not impose this rest on ourselves, events will do it for us. Athletes see this alot, R, you saw this yourself, when a change is needed an injury proceeds it.

That is why it is important NOT to choose sides in ideas and in people who support your current ideas: you must feel in the air the change caressing your mind; this change you must undergo might make enemies of friends and friends of enemies.

It might, heaven forbid, rid of your melancholy writing. What would you do without that?

These changes in opportunities are signposts:rest, reflect, and listen to Still always

I would help you , but you must stand on your literary own now; until you can't stand it anymore.

Then you may call my name and I will help you.

By the by, I always wanted to ask the Mrs....
remember this one....


"Oh step along in the Campfire way
and sing a song any merry day. and

our make our work

merely seem like play;

and happy tasks will soon be done.

We like to cook and sew and hike along,
with all he knowledge we pursue.

Hold onto to health and stand up straight and strong
C'mon now girls let's step along.

Bluebirds to Wohelo Medallion baby all the way.

I finally went into the thank you thread on syfy and surprisingly it was frakin; hilarious!

I thought it would be all praise w/ pics but it was very individualized w/ the original posters' personlality.

The man whore-ness that was carefully downplayed but everyone knew it was going on. You'd have to be dead not to know.

The criticism of sci-fi execs.... priceless! Give 'em hell!

The "get a haircut" to the man. Okay, cut it or grecian it or do something, you've got script selling to do.

Mrs help him out, he can keep the locks but it's at a strange length and not flattering.

He looks as old as Mitrocondrial Eve; what happened to that guy that started the series; the best pic was the one in front of the viper; the other ones are too creepy for mass selling.

I know, you love your cuddly man, mrs. and in your heart he is your Charming, but well we cannot afford to have product look dumpy you know.

It's been a tough day but it is brightened w/ that unexpected lift.

Thanks!

I think I will itunes purchase Daybreak, but not for the character; got that down after 3 viewings.

To see "my boys" clean some clocks.

I want a pic of my boys kickin' ass and takin' names.

A painted red stripe makes 'em mine baby. And taking off with a hybrid to the outer reaches; yep that's something I'll watch repeatedly and of course the line that states "if we don't leave her, she won't abandon us."

And all the shooting, love the gun battle, it is much more satisfying, like the guns on the mini. I loved it then, I loved it in Daybreak. And well, all the shooting and explosions yet she took them one last jump.

Yeah, that's my faves. Weird, for a woman, but drama?

Hell that is MY life; why do i want to relive THAT constantly?

I'm gonna crawl up in a ball, try not to bawl from my painl ike earlier, and re-watch the gun part of the mini.

see ya on the other cycle

I don't understand oh i should "what has happened before, happens again."

Baiting, angry retorts, banning or deleting posts.

I just am re-looking at some of my fave eps including now Hand of God.

I just can't deal with all that now; why is not this karma expunged yet? A change is needed somewhere but It's not my karma;

I just watch the show.

I love this show, the risk board w/ models; On my list is Pegasus, Flesh and Bone, possibly OMG, the bully line and the hard six in one line. Priceless.

I suggest, humbly, some one should rewatch "Water" about leaders. Put a list in the pocket about those cut from a board including me. And well, remaining is humble is key is another line in this ep and Six's line about opportunities and having them taken away in "Water"

All answers are there, yet you do not listen. What will you have to endure to "Get it?"

AHHHHHH!

hey you readers.... stop.... what's the word


"appropriating "

my words: you little hoodlums!

Expunge, you lifted that!

Appropriating? *snort* you're not building a railroad, my ideas are not public domain.

It's morally wrong and thievery;


but I loves ya (now NOT that kinda love; it's like widdle bro love); so of course I'm letting it go 'cause I got a million more... ideas

and sucha wide variety of interesting men to whisper to

It's gonna make up for a lot of what I missed for 4 years; you know ....kind words, appreciation ... all sweet stuff like that.

These are some strange posts... half the time I don't even get what it's about or what prompted it... Oh well.

Thanks!

Now go where you understand the posts.

No, that was harsh; I don't explain what I'm saying here b/c I don't have time.

ANd I'm going to use what the rabid fanbois have been using for an excuse for a while; the "you don't like.... don't watch"

You don't like to read it, I'm not pistol whipping you and propping your eyelids open to read this.

Write what you want in your own thread.

We could use the posts and topics.


Or, go get your own sandbox.....

Gosh, scitale I'm sorry; I'm not a linear thinker/writer. Out of the box would explain it. Just be assured that those it was meant to make sense to, it does. You have to know the whole back story which I am not privy to relay.

The main concern about Caprica is that it is easy to write or cross write it like.... well Dollhouse.

I mean, recreate a teenager. What will the teenager do, will it be a weapon for the government, again done before.

A weapon for a splinter group; better but still not original.

A illicit affair; well why stretch that over 13 episodes?

There has to be arcs that put current conditions of their culture into play.

I'm really concerned if they start w/ character developmentand jettison actual action, this show will not last beyond the eps ordered.

If it deals with more than Caprica City and the planet of Caprica; they might glean enough to keep it afloat.

You see, I don't need to be shown 4 times the same premise, I can get it after 2 times at the most, but to repeat the movements and reactions but play wheel of fortune w/ characters also is not a good sign.

That is not to say, one event cannot not elicit different responses from different characters , but doing the same actions and seeing the same limited response is silly.

I just can't watch something that goes over the same ground over and over. Or cheats by bringing in elements at the last minute.

Now, to be honest, I have good friends that are gay but i can't understand the need to insert gay relationships in everything. It's got to fit the characters from the beginning. Gay story lines for gay story lines are annoying and crappy writing if you can't weave it in from the beginning.

You can leave it open and lose for later use but it has to have a start with all the other characterization, or it's another Esperson druggie friend coming in before a Kat demise.

An insert and an insult, actually, to the story.

To be honest, Jane Esperson ,as a writer doesn't impress me. I stopped watching Dollhouse; I won't watch W13 and if she is running Caprica, no way. I started the webisodes but it moved way too slow to be of interest.

Too bubble gum for the little humor she injects.She has no spark, no risk. Everything fits formula.

It's boring.

So this is where I get off the merry go round.

I'm glad you chose this woman,

it gives me a chance to leave.

I'm just going to see if my help vs. no help; which will garner more interest and attention.

Make no mistake, if she canna pull this off she and BSG writers, who may be hot now will lose status. You see it is lazy nature for the execs; "You had a good run w/ BSG. This show is similar w/ AI or sci-fi elements. You should bring them in or bring in awards. Now here's your budget and get to work."

You drop the ball; your name might as well be written in sand in that industry because they have no memory there.

I can't explain the feeling of impending not doom but really disinterest in this spinoff. The higher interest is now; but another hiatus will kill this in the cradle or snap its neck. I just feel this great malaise when i think of Caprica; like "oh nice to see you.... hug hug, but no spark in story.

Too much organic writing. Too much characterization. Too much Smallville, Dawson's Creek, and all that other Roswellian tripe. It's not like we haven't seen this. But i guess if people have to see the same types of stories over and over again ; this is your show. With a spot of modern tech thrown in.


I miss "Where no TV show has gone before"
You see, the series will not follow the pilot, it will be a re-imagining of the pilot. What happens when you dilute something; it is a weaker version of the original.

Then who'll be laughing then, dear Jane dear Ron.

I've decided not to beard the lion and his lioness in their den; you wanna talk to me; you go to Atlanta on Labor Day weekend. I don't think you will but I see no reason to my waste time and money in July which, only for the sheer reason: you are no more important than me at the level of human beings, so I should not have to suffer to "see" you. You're ego pride makes you "think" you're contribution to humans being is more than valuable than mine. Are you serious?

We'll see about that.

It's time to step out of comfort zones and take in the world as it is.


SO good luck .....no really, I hope for you're sake.

and

Peace,
N.

Wow, people still read this tripe?

I'm going to watch The Bucket List. i just re-watched the quintessential "God Did It" movie, The Ten Commandments.
"So it shall be written, so it shall be done." and all that jazz.


Have a good resurrection /spring equinox/ Easter y'all.

To be completely honest, I get a mixed feeling about where these people go from here. If they continue on the same course, they will definitely be "off course"

or even on the golf course, 'cause there will be little to write.

But I can't say because the seeds were planted, they must bear their own fruit.

All I can say is, intellectual understanding is not the same as real knowing; if it touches not the heart and mind it cannot sway people.


The old tricks of the ages do not work here, I feel, at times, this is the time of intellectual fiefdom and those dissenters are driven off to other lands to speak freely; as if we crossed the great Atlantic to again regain our right to speak without the rigid caste system in place on some boards.

I chafe at the yoke placed upon me, as not agreeing with all of the "Manor" says. We may "hurt" them. What of the hurt you caused and cause by holding on to the anger of a bruised ego? What world do you create through fawning and favoritism? Do you know what happens in these worlds of privilege? You should, you are basing a whole series on it.

I can't go and see these paragons of temporal wealth, because I have no... yes, wealth. But you can thank whoever or whatever that you believe, don't favor those who" have" most of the time.

I do not have even $500 to throw away on trifles; to play at CONS but my wealth is more satisfying. longer lasting, and tailored to me and my growth.

I do not show my face because I cannot AFFORD to show my face, do you understand?

I believe in forgiveness, yes; I believe it is possible, with the right tools, know more than we can experience with all our senses.

I believe we choose and chose our world, and if we have a perception that colors it, it will take us off course to what is really there.

I have limited the corrupting influence of temporary baubles.



I choose a different life.

Your life is your choices, mine is my choices. You reap your rewards; I reap mine, you agon-
ize over your bad choices, as do I, in my choices.

Do not expect to receive my rewards of seeing, I have abandoned my expectation of being well compensated and revered to a degree; these are yours.

We have worked well together, in a dialogue of sort, but it too must end.

You must show me, that you, and only you, are ready to take the next step. you must be willing to risk all to gain all.

You are not ready for this .....yet.

Sleep my friend.

I decided to erase my rage post and let the "power of nature, baby" deal the cards.

I'm off to watch PBS.

Stop liftting, I won't warn you again ; I'll do a Pilate and let what happens, happen.

And it's not pretty.

What will it take for you to leave me be? To forget I exist; to forget everything i've ever said.

To co-habitate the planet but you don't realize I live. lived. and died.

Like the billions of faces you've never seen, will not see and will pass without your knowledge.

You MUST do this.

You don't get the whole spiel by playing only on nicey-nice boards.

I've ben a baaad girl; and peeked at frak heads, and though they have a boner for nastiness or just a boner, I found it very enlightening.

I want to know the "pencil" story. Some one over there knows a lot they aren't spilling.

Sour grapes, and all that.

I mean, I'm tired of one sided BS; I want the whole thing.

Even the moisites can be mundane at times, they don't go fer the jugular.

These people will tear out your heart and eat it in front of you;

with a fine Chianti.

"Here I go to lurk again, lurk again, lurk again."

Toodles.

I edited b/c why give them a leg up; all will revealed and the surprise is better if left unaware.


Justice will be swift and sure and will not miss its mark

Again, justice will be swift and sure and will not fail to miss its target.

I pity them, I'm angry but It is being quickly replaced with pity.



Yeah, that's what you'll be doing in a short while.

Sorry.

I feel very satisfied.... I did my ritual.

I write on paper the names of those who have used me, taken me for granted, hurt me. I chant about them.

I then tear them up, light them on fire, douse the flame with water and throw them in the trash( I bury those I really feel sorry for but not in this case), where they belong. I tell them while they're burning, hey you did this to you not me. It would have been easier on you with my help but you made your choice. I'm sorry I can't help you now.

They exist no more for me. They are dead and dead to all I know. If they are dead to me, they are dead to all forces I know.

With that, I will leave; no blog, no post, no Caprica, nothing.

Goodbye again but for the good and good.

My parting song..... I've been humming it for 2 days now

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RZKHQnReig

N.

I think I've figured out why your posts are weird... you are essentially writing a blog here in the forum. Which is a bit of an odd way to use a forum.

But anyway, instead of watching Caprica, you could watch Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles. I know that the BSG people liked to talk of their show as the best one out there, as unique and what not, but of course that's BS; TSCC is also very good and it's also asking some pretty interesting questions, such as, is it ok to resort to terrorism in order to save the world?
And McCreary is also in charge of the music there.
They recently wrapped up season 2, and sadly, possibly the entire series, with a finale that left most viewers absolutely flabbergasted and excited (of course there are always some exceptions). So if Caprica turns out not to be to your liking, there's this to show to spend some time with.

I just wanted to pop in and say, scitale, I' m really sorry for treating you harshly.

I'm off sci-fi for a long time and the internet as well.

And my ending tune to everything BSG and sy-fy
