Community Cancer. Pershing Square. 12/18

BusTard actually wanted to try to do some community building the other day…oh god.

“Let’s go to that bloggers on ice thing,” BusTard.

“Are you fucking high? How about you go and I go drink at the Biltmore,” Browne.

BusTard actually is part of humanity.

I view humanity as something interesting to mock.

So we met up at the Biltmore's Gallery Bar post BusTard’s ice skating adventure, but apparently it didn’t go well.

BusTard has huge feet. My nick name for him is scary monster. Apparently size 14s is the biggest that they go in regards to shoe sizes for ice skates. Much too small for BusTard.

How many jokes are there in the above line?

Though this did not matter since no one else was there, so sad. I know that Mother Nature’s spit hurts the delicate sensibilities of the small footed LA residents, but it was only 8:00 p.m. and it wasn’t like it was snow or real weather.

(The event started at 6:30pm, but skating was supposed to start at 7:30pm.)

I told BusTard that being a team player is a worthless exercise that leads to things such as:

1 Pulling punches
2 Obligatory boring dinners with boring people
3 Long conversations with old people
4 Having to refrain from words like- fuck, pussy, bitch, cunt, asshole, dick, bastard, gutlessasskissingtool, ballesswonder, ihateblahblah, ihateyou, ihatethatbullshittoo, pleaseshutthefuckupnoimnotkiddingimsoserious.
5 Showering in case you run into someone you know at Pete’s Café

And lots of other things that just make writing not fun. Community building and clubs turns writing into an exercise in politics. Who wants to be a politician? When you’re a politician and you cheat on your spouse everyone acts as if you’ve killed someone. When you’re an artist and you cheat on your spouse everyone is like, "Thank god, he was a real asshole."

Community building is also the faux bullshit that smears the wheel of business through governmental paperwork. They get the grassroots people on their side by inviting them to parties and giving them plaques and then those grassroots people won’t ask questions to the people who do big business' bidding, people like Jan Perry:

Jan Perry does the south side of your district even exists? I mean you spend an awful lot of time in the northern section of your district. The southern section of your district is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Does that bother you?

(According to Angelenic Jan may have been in attendance.)

Hopefully BusTard learned his lesson and remembers for next time that community building exercises are for people who want to make connections. It has nothing to do with friends or community, at least not the benign definition of it.

Uh, yeah...can you say liberal bloggers? I mean the Big Boys...look at them bending over backwards not to bring up uncomfortable stuff. And they say, "Well, we didn't touch it because [insert random blog you've never heard of] is doing such a good job." or "Well, this blog is more focused on [other] issues."

Yeah, they have access and they want to keep having access so they play the wimp.

Liberal bloggers are such bullshit. You know why liberal bloggers always talk about things far away, like Iraq, babies in Africa, and China being the anti-christ? Because it takes balls to talk about what's going on next door.

They don't want to risk running into someone that they said something unpleasant about.

That might be uncomfortable.

Liberal bloggers lack balls (or for the chicks, they lack ovaries.)

Most liberal bloggers just want some job at a paper, and they are willing to be as safe as they can to make that dream happen.

Remember that Jena bullshit. Oh man I'm still mad at Daily Kos and Huffington Post for that bullshit. I used to have them linked, I de-linked both of them, yeah I'm small, but you know I try to link people who are real.

It wasn't the conservatives or the moderates that upset me, because you know, you get where they are coming from, but the so called liberals...that's the group that made me the most mad.

Um, I don't get it. What happened at 8PM?

[browne]

Nothing. That's just it. No one was at the ice skating rink. It was raining a bit and everyone was gone OR BusTard couldn't find them.

He completely missed the event. It was a non-event, at least for BusTard.

I felt slightly bad for him, he was pretty excited about making friends...lol....

I've edited the post to add the start time (6:30pm) of the event and to link the weather of the day. It's so easy to forget not to write like people actually can read your mind. The internet can be bad in lots of ways. That's one of them.
