People that just can’t seem to take enough punishment from me. They must be masochists.

Oh, I forgot… it’s all about you, isn’t it?

Posted on by Eric Brooks

One of these days I am going to learn that with people in the blog world, it’s all about them. We’re all here for your amusement.

Rather than deal with guilt over something you know is hurting your friends, you’ll take the easy way out and bury them. Sell them out even though you know damn well they once went to bat for you.

When some people try to something nice, since it didn’t apply to you… rather than do something similar (since you’ve noticed a need for a different group), it’s just easier to piss in someone’s sandbox and walk away laughing, isn’t it?

I can go on and on about the self-centered bullshit in this community that makes me sick to my stomach, but I’m aggravated enough. Oh right, let me guess what your cop-out answer is going to be… you’re only human, right?

Fuck! No wonder why I choose not to get involved with people in real life…

If the shoe fits… wear that bitch.
Excuse me while I go puke in your honor.

No soup for you!

Ok… EXPLAIN this to me like I’m a six year old.

Boycott-Hollywood – A site that has been set up *specifically* to target and punish celebrities for their “anti-war” statements, has been dealt a death blow by the William Morris Agency. The site is being closed down by dotster sometime within the next few days.

Get this… Boycott-Hollywood complaining that their “freedom of speech is being infringed on”, and this is unfair.

You really have to laugh at the irony of it all.

Not really a divorce, more like a separation

Posted on by Eric Brooks

A lot of wonderful people have written me about the last post, and I thank you all.

I’ve made a decision to distance myself FROM the community.

I’m not going anywhere, and neither are you. Your links are simply being moved to a new section, away FROM anyone that can hurt my friends because of something I may say. And you certainly don’t need the pressure of “what is *that guy* doing here?” in your comments.

You can’t quit… you’re fired!

Posted on by Eric Brooks

I was brought to mind a funny little story about me a few years back.

I worked for a bank in Manhattan. Part of my job was hopping across town on a train and picking up a suitcase full of cancelled checks. To make a long story short I found myself once getting off the train…

… and forgetting to take the suitcase with me. Half a million dollars worth of returned checks on its way to the Bronx. Buh-bye.

Bored Stupid

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Man… if I had one of those “I’m feeling…” buttons on my site, it would probably say “cheap & used” right now.

How are you supposed to feel when you make amends with someone, you write nice stuff about them, they write nice stuff about you (well, more like USE YOU as a cheap tool to keep people FROM dropping out their project like flies in a mass exodus…) have these hundreds of people come here overnight to read my post…

….and then they read the next one, which looks like a “pig party”, and makes them look like a REAL asshole?

Eric Brooks, as played by Judd NelsonWould YOU remove all that nice stuff that you wrote about ME, and declare it a “useless rant”?????

*sigh* THE TRUTH: It’s not for everyone, y’know.

Yes… ignore me now. I’ll go away.
*SNORT* Oh Yeah, like *THAT’S* ever worked before!

Web Skirmishes 101

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Yoo hoo… can we talk?

On a serious tip. No more wisecracks on the subject. I have to realize that I play to a more global crowd. Not everyone thinks I’m funny. In the world’s defense, a lot of Americans think I’m a mean-sprited asshole too.

What started this was a remark I passed in my comments. It was a “racial/ethnic” slur directed at Mr. Razavi. No semantics, no excuses… WHAT I SAID WAS WRONG. Simple as that.

I am very sorry for hurting you, Sayed. And I mean it. I am very sorry for anyone who was offended by the remark, too. It was crude and insensitive.

What followed after that was a chain reaction of disasters on both sides. Events that we have *BOTH* admitted publicly we could have handled better. Exacerbated by caring friends on both sides who wanted to defend us.

We both lost our cool. While we can’t erase the past… we can only move forward INTO the future.

As I planned to resurrect this site over the summer, I VOWED that this kind of stuff was not going to happen anymore.
I wanted to come back and be a POSITIVE force in the community. At a time where people are being polarized and torn apart over a war that affected the entire planet… I wanted to help bring the web community back together, torn apart FROM all the debate and harsh words, and I wanted to work with the same people with the same mindset.

Bloggies, bloggers, egos, and a big-ass glass of alka seltzer.

Posted on by Eric Brooks

Daily Affirmations:

  • I am sick of awards and egos
  • I am sick of bloggers and their petty insecurities
  • I am sick of bloggers who think ONLY of themselves and then whine about why no one thinks of them

*OMMMMMMMMMMMMM*
Ahhh… a moment of zen. The delicate balance of the universe has been restored.

A brief history of the Bloggies (and then I’m done with the Bloggies forever. I’ve had it.)

  • 2001 – “A-Listers” dominate the nominations. Described as a “Pyra Love Fest” – Those not nominated scream “Foul”, “Elitism”, and “fix”.
  • 2002 – “Z-Listers” find a way to equalize the nomination process by “Block Voting”. Z-Listers and Surreally sites make it in. Wil Wheaton creams everyone in the votes. Everyone screams “Foul”, “Elitism”, and “fix”.
  • 2003 – Yours Truly Tries to recreate the magic of last year, knowing DAMN WELL there’s cheating all over, successfully helps his friends up on the board, with a fool proof plan to equalize the voting – Those not nominated scream……Well, three fucking guesses what they scream. The first two don’t count.

You can’t please everyone… so what is the answer???
We all have our different circles of friends… we have very under-rated bloggers who deserve a pat on the back for all their hard work.

Dawn Olsen is thinking of a new awards program. Learning FROM the mistakes of the Bloggies, and ensuring that those who deserve it will win it. She needs help and suggestions.

Faith has just completed her first round of the “Undisturbed awards“… of which, I just won this… SMOKING the competition:

2002 - Most likely to be seen on COPSThe Anti-Bloggies – will be back in business March first. As always, I wish to take the opportunity to rub mine in everyone’s face:

My Blorgi still remains my most treasured award, as it was given by a dear friend, FROM the heart.

As is my Haldol Hop Award FROM the Crazy One (which I, uhm, lost while moving around so much… sorry.)

So what is the answer? What kind of awards would YOU like to see?
Here is my official stance on awards and accolades. What’s yours?

Wet yo’ pants, candyass!

Can we talk?

Wow! It seems the Trolls had a field day this week. Nico took down pictures, Michele scrapped her 2002 Most intriguing Bloggers project. wKen had to remove comments off his photo site, and Solonor has been taking shit FROM the Muther Farkers resonsible for it. And, in Wil Whatizname’s defense… spoke out against what happened to wKen.

(Speaking of which, I see my homegurl took Wil outside for a private spanking, yesterday. YOU GO GIRL!)

Well, isn’t that ALL a fine, howdy do?
As Michele once said: “How come the people with the biggest opinions and loudest mouths are always anonymous?”
