The 2009 Rant, Vent, and Share thread
stuffOK. Please calm down. I know you are upset about your mom and my post/lock was poorly done. When I said 'I and everyone on drunk duck' I was referring to our emotional support and desire that your mother turns out well, not that all our advice would be the same.
I locked your thread because you came in asking for advice and help did not seem to be taking what was given. We can only go on what you post in the thread, and as I said, you were leaving the impression that you were not seeking much help on your own despite the increasing seriousness of your mother's situation. I was trying to voice a concern that you should NOT do that, if that was the case, but made the point very badly. The purpose behind your post about Sri Lanka was unclear and I interpreted it as an attempt to guilt us into helping you more than we had, which I did not appreciate. If that was wrong then I am sorry for misinterpreting it and locking the thread because of a misunderstanding.
I'm sorry that I upset you, and I will unlock your thread again so you can update it if you like, but having a shit fit in an unrelated thread (rather than PQing me directly, since your issue is with me personally) just makes you look bad. If you have an issue with me then you talk to me.
Why should I book a flight to US? Who would do something stupid when it comes to any emergency?I can think of many times when flying to the location of the emergency is exactly the thing to do, especially when no one involved will contact you or give you information and loved ones are in critical health and in an abusive and financially predatory situation. Trying to get to the US was my own personal advice to you, take it or leave it.

How would PQing you directly change your decision? Did you PQ me that you'll lock the thread? You thought that by locking the thread you're gonna kill my voice! This is a rant, vent, and share thread – are you going to lock this too? Who made the issue personal?
How would PQing you directly change your decision?I wasn't trying to "kill your voice." I already explained my reasons, apologized to you and unlocked your thread (which I would have done if you'd PQed me the same thing you posted here), I don't know what else you want from me. It's fine with me if you think I'm a horrible person who wants to oppress everyone on Drunk Duck because I'm mad with power on a rinky-dink website, and at this point I don't think I could change your mind about that if I wanted to.
I do hope you are getting the help you need, and that your mom recovers, and that the situation with her siblings is resolved. I reopened the thread so you can continue to keep us updated.

*facepalm*
You are arguing with Skool.
And since you aren't really speaking to anyone else, that would pretty much make that personal.
And it's not really killing your voice, brah. Chill.
It's fine- people are free to disagree or argue with me if they want. I just think it derails threads like this one if it's all directed at one person, whether that's me or anyone else. I've upset Timlight at a very bad time for him and I should have been more sensitive. I overreacted to some misinterpretations I made and I apologize to him.
Carry on rant, vent, and sharing. :]
I had a packet of buns than needed to be cooked in the oven but they had no instructions. So I placed it on a random heat, stuck them in and read a book for the next 10 minutes.
They got burnt and now I have no bread, my house smells of fire, it's raining and I have to vacuum but instead I'm sitting on DD :)
Hmm. Sounds like trouble. -_-

My scarf just dipped in my noodle soup. Shit T_T

Travelling on the train tonight to see a some performances at a gallery. There were a lot of Chinese people sitting around me. I saw their happy smiling round faces in reflected in the window, and there's my hollow cheeked white face in among them looking like a skull with a pointy nose. I look like death T_T
Anyway, the performances were interesting. It's good to get away from the insular world of comics and graphic design and see raw art once in a while. Everyone one there was pretty much dressed like me, which doesn't happen often.
The art performances were varied, most involved projection. The first I saw consisted of two naked and blindfolded men each holding a large bloodied Ox heart in both hands, sitting on a wooden bench in front of a projection of a clock with Jesus on it, with sheep hearts scattered around them on the floor. The clock was 5 minutes fast… They sat there for about an hour, raising and lowering their hearts in poses of supplication.
I didn't get it either, but I suspect it was religious. :)
Another cool one was 4 electric bass guitars all leaning against massive amps and speakers. Occasionally people would come in and strum a string or adjust a knob or something. The distorted sounds were amazing, Lots of variation. That was the final performance.
the second last performance was pretty funny. A girl in a black PVC coat calling obscenities at a gate, as bubbles blew past us. Then she hides in the outside toilet block and utters weird high-pitched phrases, then runs out wearing a tight black leotard, a bowler hat and black glasses, giggling madly, running up to people and giggling in their faces… Then she had a plastic mayonnaise bottle, holding it like a knife and squirting it everywhere. Then she's on a high stairway in a bondage mask, dancing to a crappy old transistor radio, she dances down the stairs, puts the radio in a big flowerpot next to a pink rotating vibrator, dose another dance and then runs out the gate into the alleyway and street giggling madly.
Best show of the night :)
The food sucked. Cheap red wine and chips. ugh. Not even good enough to get drunk on.
you ever have a dream and have the taste of it carry throughout the day? i had a dream last night that my great granpa had died[ he's been dead for a long time now] but that his coffin was sitting out in this cemetary by the woods waiting for someone to claim it so i walked up and the coroner was there and asked me to look at the body to confirm who it was, so i agreed and he really wasnt in as bad of shape as i was thinking he was gonna be cuase he'd been out there for a week. but he was still really pale, his face seemed a little enlongated and his skin had this white waxy look to it,and that's what the whole day feels like now. a white waxy dead guy. [no disrespect to my great grandfather.]
after that i had another wacky dream where i was hanging with a buncha teenagers or somethin in this big barn type building and of corse some bastards started trying to kill us all with knives and what not and would pop outa no where and ya couldnt get away and all that crap.though at one point we all realized we were gonna be in this palce for a while cuase the dream kept kinda repeating itself and even if ya ran outa the building the outside was just fuckin erie,completely unsettling. so we found a few minutes and made some chocolate brownies with yellow icing that was fuckin delicious and now i fuckin want some.
I told myself I'd stay off the internet and do comics this weekend. T_T So far I'm 0 for 2.
ditto.
there's my hollow cheeked white face in among them looking like a skull with a pointy nose. I look like death T_TI thought you said you were getting all… more attractive and craggy. :]
The guitar thing sounds cool, but I just don't understand performance art. Part of me will always think it's just what attention deprived people do so they can be weird and get reactions from people. Maybe I just haven't seen any good performance art.

skoolmunkee, remember I posted the thread's title as Online Communication Under Attack because any blocked communication is detrimental to emergency situations. I've tried so hard to attain the exact details about my mom's condition and I've made risky moves even exposing my mother's identity or my own. My only chance would be to just get the message out.
I think US immigrants are in big trouble too, knowing that accurate info is not arriving in their country of origin. So the thread is not primarily about my immigrant mom being in danger or being isolated, it's about America's isolation now.
Some internet sites are already blank. Why? I don't know. The only result I could think of when communications are blocked - perplexity.
I don't want to argue with you or anyone else. Thanks for your apology and for opening the thread again.

i feel pretty much the same way,though im sure there's none pretentious stuff out there that's easy to swollow. that bass thing he mentioned sounded pretty cool!i woulda liked to try that! reminds me of Denis D'amour.
Some internet sites are already blank. Why? I don't know. The only result I could think of when communications are blocked - perplexity.I wasn't aware that any of those sites were still affected, the ones that I use have been running fine recently. I know you are using the thread for a number of reasons and even if I had valid concerns I should not have locked it. I hope we're cool again. :]
OK, that's it. I'm gonna turn off the computer for today, make some lasagne, and do some comics while I watch 80's comedies. Steve Martin or Bill Murray? Or BOTH? Hmm.
I forgot. I took some pics :)
Hearty nekid men
Dildonic flowerpot… my phone flash wasn't going for some reason:
Aural distortion:
——-
Well, my face looked hollow and deathly in the lighting and in contrast with the other nice faces. Looked very sad and sorry and serious. T_T
I need to bone up on my anatomy- since I've been inkin' and not drawin' as much, I've gotten shoddy. I swear if I don't draw naked folk like, every day I slip back into bad proportions and incorrect structure. Especially on male figures.
Unfortunately I have no idea where any of my figure drawing/anatomy books are packed up… I mean, the boxes are obsessively labeled, but I've got so many and they're stacked so tetris-like that finding 'em is gonna be a bitch.

if it helps i ussually just google shit. specialy muscular-skeletal charts. they dont get very dynamic, but i know it helps me just to see how shit works.
gets real weird if you look up animals, specialy horses, horse skelitons a fuckin freaky.
So I just found this comment thread about my comic on facebook where this kid was telling his friends to check it out.
It was mostly backhanded compliments like "this is so bad it's good." and "I wish I could stop reading this webcomic."
In my opinion, any publicity is good publicity. I can take the haters, it's not like I'm creating the next MAUS or something. I have created the ultimate guilty pleasure comic!
It was mostly backhanded complimentsI've seen a few commenters who seem only capable of that, it's usually some weird mix of jealousy and admiration queefing out from their empty souls.
j/k
I got some awesome comments the other day here http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=107343, made me feel bad afterwords for being a lazy loser. *plays p4 and watches animu*
