Rage, You wont catch an flack from people that actually know something, and have been in the game for 2 decades+ like we both have.
How the hell did we get here???
most cities in Ct used to be so much better, because the participants knew better. The standard was HIGH. If you wanted attention, any attention, you had to put in work... not just mountains of bullshit, but high quality work with a thing called S T Y L E. You had to put in years of hard work and staying out of other's way just to get noticed.
Then all of a sudden comes the internet... now anyone with a computer has the ability to showcase their bullshit for everyone to see... as if the were somehow selected for their skill and ability.
somewhere along the road, this instant access to attention without having to work for it made it SOMEHOW SEEM THAT IT WAS OK TO SUCK!
We all start somewhere, and suck when we start... but those with any sense of respect for self and the culture know their place when they start. they know they suck, so they work hard to get better fast while respecting those who have clearly been around longer then they have.
So what do today's clowns do rather than learn from writers who have been around for years??? The scribble their pathetic "look at meeee" bullshit all over it instead.
It really hurts me to say this, but it's never going back to the way it was... and the worst part about that is, kids today think this is how things are supposed to be.
For all the attention starved fuck heads who run around craving instant street cred thuggery and attention, please pull over to the slow lane until you catch up to speed.
Respect to those starting out who take the proper steps while starting out... there seems to be a real shortage of it lately.
