  • To update, things went shitty as expected. I found out that three people don’t have the same dream that I have, and from time to time, I wonder about a fourth. That said, I’m still in high spirits that I will have a few production credits to my name by the end of the year. Either that or be dead.

    Currently, I am working at the Macaroni Grill. IHOP just hired me as well, so I’ll be working 4 in the evening till 7 in the morning to try to make ends meet and better myself financially.

    Film is looking extremely promising right now. I have already been offered a deal that I do believe I could make no less than $1000 on. We shall see though. Sidewalk film-fest is the end of September. I’ll know something by the first of October if all the dreaming and believing and delusional attempts at trying to make a go of it will pay off. If not, I fear that unless I met a young woman soon that I want to give the world to who will allow me that privilege, there will be nothing left to live for since “this fell sergeant Death is strict in his arrest”, i.e. I will be getting older, approaching death and having nothing to live for.

    For those of you who are wondering about Butterfly, it ain’t gonna work out. She did tell me that if we had a shoot to give her the hook up if an extra pair of hands were needed. I am not upset nor depressed about this. I am depressed that those who I’ve been working with the whole damned time backed out on me. Oh well, different strokes for different folks.

    Um, that might not have been the juicy stuff you’re used to, but I’m starting to wonder if my readership is worth it since all they want to do is give me grief, with the notable exception of a wonderful friend with excellent advice who has a great perspective on life. So I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong woman and perfectly content about it. Who gives a damn? It’s my Goddamned life and I’ll fuck it up myself, thank you very much.

    Speaking of which, Dragonfly has entered the picture and is following the model set forth by Seduction Insider. We shall see how long that lasts.

    Oh, there’s one more character I need to introduce you to, and for those of you who know your literature, kudos for getting the reference: Pumblechook. We shall talk more about said character when the time merits wasting the effort doing so. Insert aptly penned comment here.

  • Wow dude, lots of ground covered here. To make things easier on the both of us, I’ll try to reply paragraph by paragraph:

    I just read through your every past post. Nowhere did it indicate that you expected things to go shitty. That was rather unexpected, actually.
    Fifteen-hour days? At least you’re not salaried. You’ll get paid for every hour you work, and you get tips! Congrats!
    Good luck on Sidewalk film-fest.
    Maybe she’s playing impossible to get?
    If it weren’t for grief you rec’d from your readership, I wonder if you’d get any feedback at all! Enjoy the game, Tom, if you’re going to play. We do ;)

  • /Who’s your daddy?

  • Inserting apptly penned comment….

    First of all…..has it ever occurred to you that pain, grief, criticism and depression are all motivators and inventors of good storylines and are applicable to all other creative outlets?  Why rid yourself of that?  That being said…..

    How old are you?  20?  Im ahead of you by 12 years, and let me tell you, being tied down limits you creatively…it has nothing to do with love, and everything to do with logistics and time.  Why in the world would you want to settle down now?  Truthfully, if you were to settle down, find a woman about 7 years your senior.  She will have already been through most of the drama of acting like a stupid young twenties airhead, and be a lot more experienced…and i am not just talking sexual.  

    Furthermore, by being single and working your butt off now, the ‘world’ or the piece of it you try and give ‘her’ stands the chance of being MUCH bigger…

    Think about that….

  • Damn, so…true. I’m awed into…silence. Bravo danzigfried!

  • Women are dream killers.

    You’re at the prime time of your life to fondle stripper’s tits and establish yourself in business.

    Any attempt at a long term relationship at this age will almost certainly result in a) a bad break-up as you both grow into the real people you’ll become and b) the delay or even abandonment of your career goals as they get put off for things that seem more important.

    I highly recommend staying out of ‘relationships’ until you’re both successful and at least 25 years old.

    Until then, you really should be attempting to deposit your genetic load in as many different heads of hair as possible.

    Also, I recommend against taking advice from people who tell you that some invisible man in the sky will be your guide/guardian/etc. God is like an imaginary friend for grown-ups — but even children aren’t deluded enough to think that their imaginary friends can tell them how to live their lives.

  • Are you actually allowed to fondle stripper’s tits? I thought that was an arrestable offense? Hmmmm.

  • You’re just not going to the right clubs.

  • I DON’T GO TO STRIP CLUBS! (it was just the sudden thought of fondling stripper’s tits that set me off) Damn I need to get to Kansas.

  • Its harder to fondle stripper tits if you don’t go to the stripper emporium.

  • White out, anyone?

  • Besides, why the hell won’t you go to strip clubs anyway? I mean, you’ll sit around and whack it to donkey/co-ed porn but you won’t go see saline-enhanced funbags shaking to modern pop hits?

    Freak.

  • I prefer the term, ‘ass’

  • dude, don’t post your donkey-on-bondes porn here!

  • now now Eric, settle down!

  • And now, a word about Dragonfly. I was 21 and in Germany. I met this most beautiful British woman, and we started seeing each other. She was gorgeous, funny, delightful to be with. I visited her often. Then her sister moved to Germany also! Her sister snatched me away from her, and took me to her house in England where we lost our virginity to each other. Yes, it was fantastic, no, it ultimately did not work out between us, yes, the sister was pissed off, and I never saw her again. Sad, but true. With the first girl, I was the hunter. With the second girl, I became the hunted! Did she just use me to get at her sister? Who cares! Still…

    You have to ask yourself, Tom, what do you want?

  • Who do you want to be?

    Excellent quote from Jeffery Deaver’s The Blue Nowhere

  • Where do you want to go Today?

    –Bill Gates

  • I wish i was a hunter in search of different poon…

  • God, you kids are a riot. If this is what I am going to get every time I post, I do believe I shall do so more often. That having been said…

    Thoughts on Eric’s thoughts:

    Perhaps what I ment was I lacked the confidence that I would be able to talk her out of a relationship and into another. Maybe that’s where things went arwy, but something tells me it was long beofore that. Needless to say, I will still go down there every once and a while to vist with old friends, her included.

    Yannow, she gave me her number at one point. Maybe I missed the sign she was giving me at the time. However, he’s going to have to be a really big ass right now. Either that or she was crying for help on her own terms. Hence, a phone call (with Eric) is in order to sort it all out.

    Working all the time for no money sux.

    Thanx. Don’t think I’ll have the presentation ready that I was hoping for, but we shall see.

    I do enjoy the game. But aren’t I allowed to whine, moan, groan and bitch about the rules?

    I was awed that Danizfried actually hit the nail on the head. Then again, I suppose that even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    True, women are dreamkillers. Which bars allow the titty handling? Perhaps you could send me a list to try. LOL

    I want to be me. Successful movie director who also greatly understands technology and even programs. I also want to give the world to some lucky young lady. Too bad it won’t be Butterfly. I’ve got to find a more descriptive term than Dragonfly for our new contender, but the term shall have to suffice.

    Talked to Pumblechook this afternoon. He sucked less during our conversation, but he still sux.

  • Punblechook fondled poor little Pip. Where the hell do you think all that animosity came from? Are you Pip? Is Danzigfried Ms. Havisham? WTF is going on here?

  • DefyDescription, you so totally rock! I’m glad our advice to Tom is in harmony. There’s strength in numbers!

  • I’m awed into disgusted silence.

  • In response to the comment that it is stupid to rely on God: You sneer that “even children know better than to rely on their invisible friends to help them.” In the same breath, you encourage Tomas to not take advice from people who believe “some big guy in the sky” is gonna guide them.

    Your mindset really disturbs me.

    It implies:

    <LI>That our existence on earth has no higher purpose, no meaning, no reason. We just are. And when this life is over, then what?
    <LI>That what we do with our lives is just a series of chances…that fate is the only thing “guiding” us. It suggests that we are entirely in charge of our own lives. If that thought doesn’t scare the living daylights out of you, I don’t know what would.
    <LI>That there is no higher standard in life. Without a God, there are no ultimates. No moral standard to live by.

    It’s no wonder that with advice like that, a person might find themselves completely drowned in a spirit of depression. After all, what’s the point of even living another day? Why try to do anything substantial with your life, if we are here with no purpose but to satisfy our fleshly desires?

    And if we are here by chance and there is no “higher being” guiding our steps, then not only does it give bleak perspective to this life, but it gives no hope for the future. What happens after death?

    Before someone’s questions about life can be answered, their understanding of God has to be straight. Life isn’t going to make sense without it.

    Belief in God is not for the old and the weak-minded. Belief in God takes more will and backbone than the agnostic will ever have to muster. Belief in God makes you accountable. It forces you to be a real man (or woman) and face up to the fact that you blow it on your own. There’s no hope of ever being good enough. It takes humility to realize that you’ll never make it without SOMEONE’S help.

    Whether you believe in God or not, there is no mistaking the fact that someday, you will die. Assume with me for a moment that there IS a God and that He’s actively part of our world today. But more than that, He is holy and perfect—without sin. That same God says that man has one appointment with death, and after that he faces judgement. Judgement = standing before God and accounting for every single word, thought and action of your life. And the outcome of that little trial will determine whether you spend an eternity in heaven, in perfect happiness; or an eternity in hell, tortured beyond imagination in an empty, burning void.

    The questions are simple, taken from God’s own “ultimate standard.” Have you ever lied (even “white lies” count!)? Have you ever stolen something? Even a few minutes of your employer’s time perhaps? And I think by the nature of the comments here, this next one might ring in the affirmative. Have you ever even looked at a woman and lusted after her?

    A yes to any one of those makes you guilty. And if you think you’re still innocent, there are 7 other questions to gauge your life by. If you’re honest, you would admit that you fall short in at least one of those areas. Here you are before a sinless Being…and your life looks black in comparison. Because He’s perfect and holy, He’s left with no choice but to say, “I’m sorry. I don’t know you,” as He turns you away.

    Let’s say (for we are still working on assumptions here), that you could’ve done something in your lifetime to change the course of your eternal destination. What if God had made a way for your sins to be wiped away? What if it was as simple as believing that God paid the price (death) for the sins of every person through His Son, Jesus Christ? What if all you have to do is confess that He is Lord—over all, and of you—and repent, then you would have access to eternal life?

    The issues here, gentlemen, are not about how Tomas should deal with his wild dreams, his lonely life or his flailing career. At the center of his struggles…or ANY person’s struggles…is an understanding of God. Maybe some of you don’t believe in God, and who am I to stand in the way of “forward thinking.” I just have one question for you. Are you willing to bet your life on that?

    And Tomas? I’ve talked to you before. At one time, you at least claimed a Christian background. I really don’t know what you claim these days, as we don’t really talk much anymore, but one thing’s sure. If you claim to believe in Christ, then I’d take a serious look at whether you’re really living the way He’d want you to. You’ve grown up in the church, so this thought is probably cliché to you, but just humor me for a second. Suppose Christ visited your home or your blog? You think He’d find the perverted joking amusing? Do you think He’d be laughing with friends over pornography? What do you think His reaction would be to the language—HIS NAME being put in the same sentence with things like the f-word? Do you think God would be pleased at all?

  • Tony got pwned!

  • I greatly respect the opinion of those who have lived life and speak through experiences of the past. Most of what you said is good, true, and accurate. However, do two things for me first. Spend a good 10 years of your life trying to do good deeds while scratching out a meager living for yourself while attempting to maintain your own dignity and self-respect, keep your humour about you and not let the oppresive worldly existance around you press you down. Second, hold down two jobs while simultaneously maintaining a mortgage, two car payments, and two children. There are those of us who do, and do so cheerfully, and respect the Lord. We do not sound like you. You will no doubt be a shining light to most, but keeping that light after you experienced life is what counts. Not before.

    The Jesus figure is bourne from pagan religions 10,000 years older than Christianity. Do your research. GOD is the only ONE. GOD does not condone human sacrifices and being saved through the blood of another is an abomination to HIM. How then is one saved? Isaiah 30:15 says, “For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest (repentance) you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”"

  • Dear Hisgrrl187,
    I think I speak for a great many of us when I say that we preferred it when you were awed into disgusted silence, but since you put so much time into your response, allow me to retort.

    I find it highly likely that the following things are true:

    That our existence on earth has no higher purpose, no meaning, no reason. We just are.

    When this life is over our bodies decay and the only thing remaining of ‘us’ is the legacy we leave behind, in our works, our accomplishments, our children, etc…

    “Fate” is sort of a nebulous concept. The word seems to imply some sort of external hand, planning, or that something was ‘meant to be’ I don’t think that’s true. I think things are, or aren’t. I think we can effect the outcome of things by interacting with the world around us, but I wouldn’t say that anything was ‘fated’ or ‘destined’ to happen either way.

    It seems to me that a major motivator for people buying into religion is that they are deathly scared (excuse the pun) of death, and of the idea that once we’re gone, we’re gone. No more. That’s all, folks. Religion gives them an out. You too can be immortal. You need not fear death! All you’ve got to do is follow these simple guidelines…. I don’t know why, but I’ve always been comfortable with the idea that when I die its game over.

    If I did, however, feel absolutely petrified at the idea of there being nothing else… I still couldn’t possibly use that as a justification for faith in god. If I’m falling towards the earth, fear of hitting the ground is not reason enough to believe that the impact won’t kill me.

    The standards in life that exist are nothing more than a set of guidelines agreed upon by society. The church went a long way towards implementing and enforcing these standards, and most of them seem like fairly good ideas. Don’t steal, don’t kill folks, don’t touch another man’s pee-pee or we’ll throw rocks at you until you’re dead… Like I said, most of them were good ideas.

    I strongly believe that man created these rules just as man created god in his own image. At first as a means of giving some sort of meaning to their lives, to explain the world around them that they had no other means of explaining. As time went on, the power hungry realized that they could use people’s loyalty and fear of this myth to control other people. The church is clearly the result of man using the myth of god to further man’s own goals — not necessarilly for naughty or evil ends — but certainly to exert power, enforce order, etc…

    What startles me is the number of people who seem to fear that without the threat of eternal damnation that they wouldn’t have the willpower not to become hedonistic, fornicating, bottom-feeders. You don’t have to buy into mainstream mythology to live a moral life. It astounds me that religious people seem to think that they’ve got the market cornered on morality. How absurdly pompous

    Morality is just another concept created by society, much like time, distance, temperature, beauty, etc.

    Anyway, you’ve made a lot of statements and implications about “Judgement” and how god will react and feel about how I live my life and how ole’ JC would react if he were kickin’ it in my crib… I can only presume that you’re drawing conclusions about how god might react (which is pretty presumptuous, if you ask me) based on information in this book. This book, written by men. Flawed men. Revised, rewritten, translated, and EDITED FOR ARTISTIC VALUE OVER VERACITY over the years. I don’t see how you can claim that the book you’ve got access too and claim to be the ultimate word on life, the universe, and everything can be taken as being remotely accurate as a representation of original intent, even if it were the inspired word of god thousands of years ago. In other words, you’re putting a lot of faith in something highly suspect.

    Incidentally, I’ve read large portions of the bible, and let me tell you… I’m glad I’m not beholden to your god because the god i read about in that book is a real flaky, inconsistent, imperfect, sadistic asshole.

    I understand that this is really a pointless conversation to have because neither of us are going to budge from our positions. I have no illusions of you waking up and saying, ‘you know, ole’ drax0r’s got something…’ nor are you going to convince me to repent and accept the jesus as my personal lord and saviour…

    So let’s consider this an exercise in futility and an attempt to help pass the day. I do, after all, chose to live an immoral life and take pleasure from stealing even a few minutes of my employer’s time.

  • Eric,

    Perhaps the reason it’s hard ”keeping the light”  after 10 years of real life experience and why a lot of people mock at Christianity is because they think it IS about doing good deeds. It’s not. Christianity is about having a relationship with a very real and personal God. But it sounds like you know all that already. I’ve talked with you before in chat…I doubt you’d remember it…and for all the years of life experience you’ve had, sounds like you’ve done a pretty good job of staying above your circumstances.

    I suppose the only gripe I might have is that your crude humor/remarks here on Tomas’ site don’t really speak highly of self-respect…or much respect for people like myself, who visit the site because we’re friends of Tomas’ also. Some of us don’t really appreciate being blasted with sexual references with every visit. Maybe some discretion might be in order? Sex has its place in life, but is that really supposed to be in descriptive terms in a public forum? Maybe I’m just old-fashioned in thinking that it’s kind of a personal thing.

    This is the first time I’ve ever heard someone say that Jesus is a myth dating back *before* Christianity’s existence. I’d be interested in reading where that conclusion comes from…can you point me in the right direction for research? There’s very little that could sway me in my belief on that matter, but I am always willing to research, if it’s a legitimate subject.

    Thanks for your diplomatic confrontation. It kept me from outright reacting to your response.

    I’m out of time for this evening, but if I can find a few minutes tomorrow, I’ll respond to drax0r.

  • drax0r,
     
    I love it when people take it upon themselves to speak for others. The–what?–3 or 4 of you who visit this site and would disagree with me, preferred my disgusted silence? That’s cute–the small handful of us who despise your crudeness and in general, your outlook on life, could say the same thing in return. But we keep those kinds of remarks to ourselves for the most part. It’s a common courtesy.
     
    So you’re cool with the idea that once you’re dead, it’s over. Excuse me for making the assumption that you would believe in fate, instead of God. I find that very interesting. Even an atheist believes in something. So if you don’t believe in fate, or God, or some force outside yourself, what DO you believe in?
     
    To correct you, the remarks about how Jesus would react to some of the things you do was not directed at you, but at Tomas. As someone who has quite adamantly stated he doesn’t believe in God, I don’t expect you to really care one way or another how someone you consider to be fiction would react.
     
    Last of all, you are right in that neither of us will probably change our opinions through this dialogue. But I have one final thought.
     
    If I’m wrong, what have I got to lose? The respect of a few people during my lifetime? If I’m wrong, some will pass me off as just another religious nut. When I die, I’ll just cease to exist, I’ll still have made the most of my life while I had it. I think I can handle that.
     
    But what if you’re wrong? If you’re wrong, we’re talking life after death…and it won’t be pretty.
     
    Maybe you’re willing to take that chance.
     
     

  • This is a very new subject for me. I was brought up in a church that kept the Old Testament Holy Days and did not celebrate things like Christmas or Easter because of their pagan beginnings. Those subjects are easy to find since even the Catholic Church admits them. But I digress. Recently I’ve come to believe that because of this pagen past, that the entirely of Christianity is pagen, up to, and including the appointment of Jesus Christ as savior and the Son of God. Why do you think there’s so much controversy surrounding the New Testament Covenant? I’ll try to find some sites to post to you where I’ve been reading about other world religions. Almost every single one of them has a ‘virgin birth’ Christ figure who is the ‘Son of <their deity>’ as savior. Unsettling only because these pagan religions far pre-date Christian’s Jesus. Because this is so shocking and unbelivable, and if you do love the Lord, you MUST read what HE has to say about all of this. When you re-read even the Ten Commandments (which you’ve had memorized since childhood) you are shocked to actually see them for the very first time and wonder how you could not have missed it:

    Exodus 20:3-5

    There are 10 more on the top of my head but I will leave you with that one for now. Still in all, it is a very deep subject, yes still open to interpretation at times, but once you realize that every aspect of Christianity is pagan (think of the symbolism alone!), there is a desire to go back to the Old Testament to see what HE has to say, thus begins the cycle of research.

    As far as your other comment, yes discernment is a damn rare thing these days, and an honorable gift indeed. I can only suggest that as I mature, the value on what I place as important changes and as such, thus is how we all learn and grow. The decisions I make today will appear foolish and childlike when I reach the maturity of a 50-year old, but I also know, through experience, that the ‘mature’ decisions I make at 50 will seem foolish and childlike to my 70-year old self. Again, life. Live well, laugh often, love much.

  • Eric, do you have a Jewish background? If not, what other kind of church adheres to Mosaic law and practice?

    I’ll have more time to respond in a few minutes.

  • Girl,

    Forgive my uncommon discourtesy in making comments regarding your silence or lack thereof. Or don’t. It doesn’t particularly concern me. It was, however, meant as a joke. I’m sorry it wasn’t taken that way.

    You say that even an atheist believes in something. This is not necessarily true. Nihilists, on the other hand, generally don’t believe in anything. Not even nihilism. I don’t profess to be either of those. I prefer not to put labels on myself as such.

    I just mentioned the whole ‘what would the jesus think’ part to establish a baseline to ask a question that you avoided answering because you apparently thought it was more important to correct an irrelevant portion of the text. I didn’t really expect any valid answer to that anyway, but I more expected you to just ignore that part of the post like you did the other ‘hard’ points rather than dance so close to it.

    Finally:

    If you’re wrong, you’ve wasted time and energy etc etc and you’re more than free to do so. More power to ‘ya.

    If I’m wrong, I’ll burn eternally in the fiery pits of hell.

    I couldn’t go through the motions ‘just in case’ because I just don’t buy it. It would be insincere, I would be living a lie, and would be therefore invalid anyway.

  • I was a member of the Worldwide Church of God for many years. They didn’t believe the New Covenant dissolved the Old Covenant, so we followed the teachings of both, minus the obvious pagan Chrisitan celebrations. They have since embraced the modern concept of Christianity. I am interested in learning more about Judaism, minus of course the numberous ‘laws’ of man they’ve adopted. I want to do this to see what they believe end time prophecy is. If you read Ezekiel and Daniel, end times are outlined, but muddied with the study of the New Testament books, most notably Revalations (which almost identically mirror Ezekiel and Daniel). But if you dicredit the New Testament, that means that (for example) Tim LeHay’s pre-tribulation rapture theory is suspect. I’m curious of what Jews expect in end times when their non-son-of-god messiah appears. As far as I can tell, that’s when the Lord will write his laws upon the hearts of men. Confusing, I know!

  • Confusing would be an understatement. You’ve obviously put a TON of thought and study into various belief systems. And you seem to know your Bible pretty well also. I don’t understand what you mean by Ezekiel & Daniel being similar to Revelations and yet “muddied” by the same. And also, just for clarification, is it safe for me to gather that you believe in God, but not that Jesus was His Son…correct?

    drax0r–did I hear someone call you Tony before? mine is Amy, by the way–I’m sorry if your remark was made in a joking manner. I am normally a very easygoing, sarcastic kind of person and read the same mannerisms into everyone else, unless I’ve opened some can of worms that I expect to get flack for. This was one of those cases. Sorry to have misjudged your response.

    I also re-read your retort and don’t see what questions I sidestepped. Yes, I did some picking and choosing as to what I responded to, simply because I only have so much break time at work, but you never asked any questions outright, so I didn’t realize there was something specific you expected response to.

    Again, your mind is set in your ways–I don’t expect to change that; and you’re not going to sway me. So this conversation is purely for the debate.

  • Daniel & Ezekial are very specific, albeit shrouded in symbolism. Daniel & Exekial were prophets of God. Revelations retells the same events with similar symbolism. But if the line of thought is that the New Testament, all of it, was re-written by man for the express purpose of creating Christ from the man Jesus to rebrand pagan religions into Christianity (so that the masses would follow and give them a savior), then one must dissect the Old Testament prophecies and disregard the New Testament prophecies altogether. Yes I believe that God is our Lord and creater of the universe, and the HE wants us to follow HIS laws for salvation. I’ve also discovered something even more startling. Zondovan (as well as others I assume) have started omitting versus of the bible in their New International Version (NIV). Case in point, pull out your old King James (which also one has to assume is flawed, we’ll save that for another discussion) and open this Chapter in both versions: Mark 16:9-20. I know this is New Testament, but bear with me. Mark supposedly is the oldest and most reliable of the early manuscripts. It’s in the KJV, but not the NIV, citing, “The most reliable early manuscripts and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20.” (http://www.21cent.net/cf/cf-frame-nivonline.htm) I have about a dozen more examples of omissions and rewording of scriptures which as far as I can tell serve two purposes (though my opinion at this point is far from exhaustive): To diregard Satan as an actual force against us (Prince of the Power of the air – subverting and manipulating us) and to remove all accounts of people worshiping Jesus – most of them changed to show they simply acknowledged him. To what end? I don’t know.

  • HisAmy84,

    You are correct, I guess my questions were more implied, rather than outright stated.

    What is the basis for your faith? It is my understanding, at least insofar as I’ve been told when having discussions such as these in the past, that a lot of unanswerable questions regarding god, the jesus, the bible, etc come down to having to have faith. What I’ve never understood is the motivation for going down that road in the first place. Perhaps I’ve always just been one to question everything for myself and make my own decisions on what I’m told, but I truly don’t understand the point at which, or why, for that matter, one would actually make that leap.

    Also, as I mentioned earlier, wanting something to be true badly enough still doesn’t make it true, and my points about the likely veracity of the modern bible were made to a specific purpose. In the face of such limited evidence to support your belief, how do you justify such a life-defining course of dedication?
