Mixed Chat Nuts

Okay, everyone, this is why I should not chat online. Crazy nutjobs message me and start ranting about things. The first is a guy I talked to tonight and I would like to say on my behalf that I am very fond of baby seals, but I am also realistic. The second was with a guy in December and it was something to do with movies. All I have to say is that people are NUTS. Enjoy! (PS: I am "The_Bobbing_Cat" after my little bobble-head cat thing that I lost... lol)

March 29, 2006: The Crazy Nut
nocturn-aerial: newf, you need some sun..u
and your pale sister

The_Bobbing_Cat: at least I don't need an
attitude adjustment, and I'm not a newf,
but nice try, AND she's not my sister

nocturn-aerial: u look like a newf

nocturn-aerial: u look inbred

The_Bobbing_Cat: I don't care what I look like,
you look like a grumpy ass, and oh wait,
you message a random person to tell him
he looks pale, so you ARE a grump! Us
inbreds are perceptive

nocturn-aerial: maybe you need to support the
mass slaughter of more seal babies

nocturn-aerial: you stupid canadian

The_Bobbing_Cat: wow that's clever, seeing
as I'm not from Atlantic Canada, I really
have never even seen a seal, so try again

nocturn-aerial: you are in newfoundland you
moron

nocturn-aerial: and the seal hunt is happening

The_Bobbing_Cat: Am I? Did you read my
profile?

nocturn-aerial: and you have done nothing to
stop it

The_Bobbing_Cat: Where in it does it say that
I'm from Newfoundland

nocturn-aerial: u are in the newf room,
douchebag

The_Bobbing_Cat: Wow, and so are you! Are
you from Newfoundland?

nocturn-aerial: as a canadian what have you
done to stop the seal hunt

nocturn-aerial: i am here working, prick

nocturn-aerial: canadian scum allowing the
seal hunt

The_Bobbing_Cat: LOL you are INSANE, I'm
allowing it because I'm not doing
anything, from ONTARIO, to stop it?

nocturn-aerial: yeah, you could protest it

nocturn-aerial: make calls

nocturn-aerial: write letters

nocturn-aerial: assuming you know how to
write or dial a phone

nocturn-aerial: they are babies you moron

The_Bobbing_Cat: LOL so do you message
every random person and start attacking
them about seal hunts? Frankly, I haven't
given much thought to it because I am
very very close to helpless when it comes
to stopping something like that, and the
time or energy to make an efficient stand
is beyond what I can do, so get a grip,
whoever the hell you are or think you are

nocturn-aerial: helpless...

nocturn-aerial: you are using a computer..you
can easily write an email

nocturn-aerial: they are not even two weeks
old and they are clubbing them to deah

nocturn-aerial: death

nocturn-aerial: they are too young to swim

The_Bobbing_Cat: ooh an email! oh boy lol
well while I'm at it, I'll email every single
other horrible thing that is happening
thousands of miles away and fix that too,
because an email will change the world

nocturn-aerial: its sick what you are allowing to
happen

The_Bobbing_Cat: I think it is horrible, but get
a grip on reality

nocturn-aerial: but, its happening not a
thousand miles away..but, out your front
door

nocturn-aerial: reality is if enough people do
something it will end

nocturn-aerial: thats reality

The_Bobbing_Cat: I live in Hamilton, unless
seals are made of dirt and buildings, it's
not on my door step

nocturn-aerial: its not a thousand miles away

nocturn-aerial: lazy bastard

The_Bobbing_Cat: and unfortunately, my life
goal is not to save the seals, sorry to the
seals

The_Bobbing_Cat: SHUT UP OMG WHO THE
HELL ARE YOU LOL INSANE GOODBYE

nocturn-aerial has been added to your
persistent ignore list

**I went kinda nuts at the end because I realized he called me a lazy bastard for whatever reason.. sheesh.**

December 15, 2005: The Movie Man Who Hates Money.. or something

**We were talking about King Kong at first, and he doesn't show his craziness for a little while, but keep reading.. you'll see.**

ennis_d_mar: no way

ennis_d_mar: crappy?

The_Bobbing_Cat: oh my god yes lol the
whole theatre thought so, at least from
what I heard from people talking after the
movie

ennis_d_mar: huh?

ennis_d_mar: what was there to hate? it was
simple fun

The_Bobbing_Cat: LOL it was excrutiatingly
long, it was cheesy, drawn out, and I
wanted to mute that blonde chick after the
500th time she screamed lol

The_Bobbing_Cat: simple, yeah. fun, not so
much lol

ennis_d_mar: well the vast majority of critics
disagree and so do i

ennis_d_mar: anyway go see BrokeBack
Mountain when it comes out

The_Bobbing_Cat: well good for you lol I'd
check Rotten Tomatoes in a couple
weeks, I doubt the verdict will me very
positive

The_Bobbing_Cat: Yeah I can't wait to see that

The_Bobbing_Cat: and Memoires of a Geisha

ennis_d_mar: BBM is one of the best films I've
ever seen in my life

The_Bobbing_Cat: you already saw it>

The_Bobbing_Cat: how? the Toronto Film
Festival?

ennis_d_mar: yup

The_Bobbing_Cat: ahhh lucky!

The_Bobbing_Cat: Yeah I can't wait to see it

ennis_d_mar: I have an 'in' there - hehe

ennis_d_mar: coming out Friday in TO

The_Bobbing_Cat: lol very nice

The_Bobbing_Cat: I leave for Barbados Friday
so I'll have to see it when I get back lol

ennis_d_mar: nice!

The_Bobbing_Cat: haha yeah, Brokeback can
definitely wait

ennis_d_mar: I can't wait to go see it a couple
more times

The_Bobbing_Cat: it's that good eh? wow
awesome..

The_Bobbing_Cat: best movie I think I've seen
this year was Crash or The Corporation..
we'll see if Brokeback can top them

ennis_d_mar: I NEVER cry and after watching
BBM - even the trailer makes me tear up

ennis_d_mar: Corp was good I agree

ennis_d_mar: Crash was a little thick

The_Bobbing_Cat: thick? how so

ennis_d_mar: it was like an Oprah episode at
times

The_Bobbing_Cat: hah well yeah, it did force a
message, but I think it was very very well
done and some of those scenes I was in
so much shock I think I choked lol

The_Bobbing_Cat: Heights was really good
too

ennis_d_mar: I didn't see that one

The_Bobbing_Cat: it was intense.. has Glenn
Close and James Marsden

The_Bobbing_Cat: I think of it as what Closer
should have been

ennis_d_mar: still haven't seen that either

The_Bobbing_Cat: ah, it was dirty lol not my
fave, but some people seemed to like it

The_Bobbing_Cat: I'm James, by the way

ennis_d_mar: Justin here - good to meet you
James. Most ppl here unable to hold a
conversation

**Yep, I'm able to hold a conversation.. even with a crazy person! It starts very soon, I swear!**

ennis_d_mar: commercial for Kong on tv -
WAIT the T Rex part!!! there were THREE
of them!!

The_Bobbing_Cat: I noticed lol gay.com is
more my type of place to come and chat in
the rooms and argue with people who
don't have a clue what they're talking
about, for entertainment purposes lol

The_Bobbing_Cat: Yeah, three... ooooh lol

ennis_d_mar: Skull Island was awesome!
You can't deny that!

The_Bobbing_Cat: well the entire concept was
neat, sure.. but everything about it was
drawn out

The_Bobbing_Cat: ick, that cavern full of bugs
though was just icky lol they lost points
with me just for having that scene lol

ennis_d_mar: drawn out?? Did you even see
Lord of the Rings??

The_Bobbing_Cat: haha you're talking to
someone who seems to have a trend with
Mr. Jackson's films lol

ennis_d_mar: George Lucas would die to be
HALF as good as Peter Jackson

The_Bobbing_Cat: can't say I'm much of a fan
of either of them

ennis_d_mar: I loved L of the R

ennis_d_mar: HATED the new Star wars films

The_Bobbing_Cat: yeah, I'm definitely in a
minority when it comes to LOTR

The_Bobbing_Cat: and I refrained from seeing
SW altogether

ennis_d_mar: made the right choice

The_Bobbing_Cat: lol good to know.. some of
my friends would disagree, but oh well :P

ennis_d_mar: they LIKED star wars???

ennis_d_mar: If any of my friends like it I would
never talk to them again

The_Bobbing_Cat: yeah, I have some friends
who are all up in that.. for some reason

The_Bobbing_Cat: hahahaha

The_Bobbing_Cat: well I mean all of the films
have done well, so there must be some
redeeming qualities?

ennis_d_mar: hol shit

ennis_d_mar: In The Mood For Love is on
CBC

The_Bobbing_Cat: what's that

ennis_d_mar: wait - because I film makes $$$
it must be good???

ennis_d_mar: no

ennis_d_mar: sorry

ennis_d_mar: It's a Wan Kar Wai film

The_Bobbing_Cat: no, but it must have a
reason that people went to see it, and
went to see it more than once

ennis_d_mar: yeah and there must be a
reason americans vote for Bush

The_Bobbing_Cat: there must be something
good about it, and I mean that can't be
denied because it grosses tons of money,
and people wouldn't support something
they don't enjoy

The_Bobbing_Cat: exactly, there must be

ennis_d_mar: again - doesn't make it good

The_Bobbing_Cat: I didn't say that

The_Bobbing_Cat: I said it must have
redeemable qualities

The_Bobbing_Cat: which it must

The_Bobbing_Cat: I never said it must be
good, because if I thought that, I would
have seen it

ennis_d_mar: "redeemable' to children or
non-discerning audiences

The_Bobbing_Cat: to anyone.. if we sat down
and watched them, I'm sure we could pull
out the reasons why OTHERS like it, if we
studied it hard enough lol

ennis_d_mar: you can do that with ANYTHING

The_Bobbing_Cat: I KNOW

The_Bobbing_Cat: LOL

ennis_d_mar: so it's REDUNDANT

ennis_d_mar: that

ennis_d_mar: that 'in' I have at the film festival
- is me - so I take films seriously

The_Bobbing_Cat: lol you're missing my point
I guess, hard to communicate by text

The_Bobbing_Cat: well great, I take films
seriously too and I don't have an in

ennis_d_mar: you think Star Wars has

ennis_d_mar: redeemable qualities
WITHOUT EVEN SEEING THEM

ennis_d_mar: your issue is RHETORICAL not
specific

The_Bobbing_Cat: but I know it does because
why would millions of people go see
them? There has to be something about
those movies that is drawing them in

ennis_d_mar: Of course there is BUT NOT
QUALITY!!!!

ennis_d_mar: art isn't DEMOCRATIC

The_Bobbing_Cat: lol well you can't say that
because that is ridiculous, even though I
didn't like King Kong, I can still say it had
quality in different parts.. so for you to say
there was no quality in Star Wars is very
ignorant, think about what you're saying

ennis_d_mar: what? that people are stupid?

ennis_d_mar: sorry - they are

The_Bobbing_Cat: stupid people can't like
things? lol so Star Wars, if this is what you
believe, is directed at stupid people, it
must have qualities that make it likeable
to the less intelligent.. now that statement
is obviously false, but if that's what you
believe, then sure

ennis_d_mar: by your definiteion EVERY FILM
EVER MADE IS GOOD

ennis_d_mar: definition

The_Bobbing_Cat: NO NO NO lol I'm not
saying the film as a whole was good, I am
saying that every film, especially those
that do well like Star Wars, must have
redeemable qualities, like anything does

The_Bobbing_Cat: I never said the film was
good

The_Bobbing_Cat: ever ever ever lol

The_Bobbing_Cat: The reason I think Star
Wars must have good qualities is
because it grossed like a bazillion dollars,
so something about those films is good,
yes

ennis_d_mar: WELL THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
YOU WERE IMPLYING

ennis_d_mar: Or I just inferred it

The_Bobbing_Cat: lol you get worked up too
easily, and no I didn't imply that, because I
really don't believe it to be true lol

ennis_d_mar: ok you said it again "The
reason I think Star Wars must have good
qualities is because it grossed like a
bazillion dollars, so something about
those films is good, yes "

ennis_d_mar: NO!

The_Bobbing_Cat: Yes lol

ennis_d_mar: just because it makes money
doesn't make it good

ennis_d_mar: you've been brought up to think
money makes something right

ennis_d_mar: you equate $$$ with correct

The_Bobbing_Cat: No lol I'm saying that
because so many peoople enjoy watching
it that there has to be something good
about it

ennis_d_mar: or good

ennis_d_mar: exatly

ennis_d_mar: exactly

The_Bobbing_Cat: no no, it has nothing to do
with the money, the money just tells me
the population of the audience, which is
huge

ennis_d_mar: that's PEDESTRIAN

The_Bobbing_Cat: wha

ennis_d_mar: I've gotta go - this is
depressing. FGo watch Cyrano De
Bergerac.

The_Bobbing_Cat: haha alright, night man.. try
not to get so worked up, you'll give
yourself an anneurism

So yeah, nuts. I just wanted to comment on something I just noticed with this last nut. He said "art isn't democratic". Art could be defined as democratic and I could explain why I think that, but I'd rather say that art is subjective, which still proves my point. People choose to see a film, and the total box-office gross shows how many people went to see it. There has to be a reason people went to see it, and therefore shows that there is SOMETHING in it that was captivating, right? I don't mind debating with someone, but when the guy goes off the deep end, it kinda bothers me lol especially when he wasn't listening in the first place.

Anyways, long post over. Moral of the story is that there are NUTS out there. Guard your babies, or baby seals.

Preacher Curl

So I'm posting again today, just to spite you! Mwaaaa hahahaha.. *cough*. Actually it's because I'm bored and have nothing better to do.

I'm SO BORED. OMG! Something needs to happen... now! Hmm, didn't work. Bah! That's what the sheep said! Then I hit him right in the snout, if sheep have snouts. Ew, who was it that ate that pig snout that one time? Ew, I can remember it, so I'm not making it up. Ew. That sure is nasty, whoever that was that did that.. whenever that was.

My ties still need ironing. You're slow and your face is stupid.

(Just kidding. I love your "face".)

No one's online, no one's around.. what is this biz-nass with people having "lives". I think that it's time that they either got rid of those or shared. Sharing is nice, ya know. Even I know that. Look at me, I'm sharing my boredom with you! Seeeeee, I'm so nice.

Joel asked me today if I think I'm conceited. I said yes. I think he was confused. If he wasn't, he should try a pig snout and get back to me.

I bought a poker chip set on the weekend so I can have poker night sometime! You should be more excited than you are.

I posted on some random guy's blog.. twice! He was hawt so I went for it lol. Plus he was Oscary, so that's always a plus. Oscary, as in interested in the Oscars.. not like Oscar the Grouch lol.. what was his pet elephant trunk thing called? I can't remember.. bah. Quiet, sheep!

Steve's gloves are still here.. they're cluttering up my room! I can barely see my floor.. crazy Steve and his gloves.

If anyone can tell me what a Preacher Curl is, I'll make them my hero-of-the-day at some point in the future, cause I can't make a hero-of-the-day for the past! I just can't! I'm sorry! Get off my back!

LOL Kay, so I have -45 things left to say, so I'm gonna go nnnn..

..ow!--Jam

The Robbery, The Burglary, & The Space Between Your Ears

Yo dawgs! Sorry I haven't been posting as much as usual, but to be quite honest, nothing ever happens, so it's hard to write down stuff. It's better to save up the good things and post a big long blurr of greatness! Like this!

The Robbery
My bank was robbed on Friday. I wasn't there, but still managed to get freaked out. It wasn't like a hold-up with rifles or anything (my life is too dull for something THAT interesting to happen), but it was still freaky. Gave the girl a note, said he had a gun, yadda yadda. Bank closed and reopened hours later, and we got free lunch and dinner out of it. It was yummy lol. Not much else to this story *shrug*.

The Burglary
So I went home to the exciting world of Brantford this weekend to try to get my mind off of scary bankness, and my Nana's house was broken into while they were at the mall on Saturday! Luckily they're boring and not really frivalous, so nothing but my uncle's PS2 was taken, but still freakay. My Nana was all "They even looked through my gotchy drawer!" Hahahaha, oh Nana. You so crazah.

The Space Between Your Ears
Well, not necessarily you. Just people frustrating me. My family was saying that I'm wasting my time just working and that I should go back to school, and now that I am, they think I'm choosing the wrong option and that I'm "getting old" and should get on track. Kiss my ass, family. I know you don't read this, but still, kiss my ass anyways lol. Like what is wrong with people? Get a grip! Just because you screwed up your lives doesn't mean you all have to be pessimists and screw with my MIND. Ugh.

Hmm what else? I got this crazy song called "Chaiyya Chaiyya" that was the main track from Inside Man that Athena and I saw on the weekend. It's like crazy Hindu music fun! Yaaaay!

I meant to iron my ties and I didn't. Maybe I'll do that now... or not.

Well, time to DDR! I'm starting to work out again soon.. got a new regimen and everything, so that should be super duper!

--Jamer Duper
(Yeah, weird.)

JAM Extreme 2

Yo ma peeps!

So I've been playing DDR Extreme 2 like a mofo lately. The songs are so amazing in it and I wish I had given it a chance when I first got it in the fall. They're so upbeaty and challenging and aaah, love it! If by some strange chance you don't know what DDR is, go immediately and find out because you're being deprived of super..ness. So, yeah, Heidi, get DDR Extreme 2. It's happy-go-fun.

Big shopping trip this Saturday with Lisa in Toronto! I've saved up some monies and I'm just gonna go and buy some gnarly stuff! That's right! Gnarly! With a G! !!!

I might be getting contacts tomorrow if I can make it into Brantford and can get them relatively quickly. I have enough monies for that too, so maybe I can finally rid myself of these glass things I have on my face.

Hmmm.. what else you say? I say my room's a mess and you were supposed to come clean it. No allowance for you. Like, seriously, what the hell happened to my room lol. If this is what working full-time does to one's sense of cleanliness, then my future husband is going to kick my ass once I start working. Ah well, I could beat him up. Yeah, I dunno. lol

Tomorrow I have an appointment to set up RSP's (RRSP?) and a savings account. Jam's an excited boy! I'm finally gonna get my finances in order and start saving some moolah so that I don't die of.. no money. Hahahaha HA!

So I don't wanna stop writing yet and you can't make me!

I think I'm going to set a word limit per month or per week or something so that I get some writing done. Maybe get 75,000 words done by the end of summer? Novels are about 75,000 words or more, right?.. right. I decide I'm right, and since all my decisions are right, it's right too. Right.

If anyone has the Rex Goudie music video for "Run", can they send it to me? He's yummylicious. Oh, for Liz, Rex Goudie was the runner-up for Canadian Idol this past year, so you should check him out if you have the chance. He's, like, WOO! Haha!

Holy crap.. it's STILL a mess! Why aren't you cleaning it? I'd even let you clean it while I slept, thus doing nothing! Sheesh.

Well, I'm off to bed I suppose. By bed, I mean watch a hundred episodes of Futurama and then me grumpy in the morning from lack of sleep. Hurrah!

Happy clover day!

--Four-leaf Jam

Self-Confusion

Howdy.

So I'm trying to write and I just can't! I assume this is writer's block, but I have it so often that I'm going out of my mind. I want to write down all the ideas I have and I'd love to finally finish a novel or something, but it just won't happen! Aaaaaaaah.

Also, I still have more than five months to go 'til Memorial. Booooo.

I guess that's it lol.

--Jam

Death by Laziness

Hey Peeps,

Well, I'm heading home this weekend to do my taxes (yay rebate!). I'm so happy it's the weekend because this week has simply dragged by. Boo-urns to slow banks and strange people.

I'm starting to get myself organized for Memorial in the fall. Deciding what to take, what not to take, what I need to buy there, what classes to take, etc. I'm soooo excited though; a fresh start is exactly what I need. I love you all, but it'll be nice to know even more all. Yay, all!

So I've noticed that everyone's blogs are suffering, including mine. I think it's due to the fact that life is getting repetitive around this time of year, and people are in lazy mode. Spring should be newfound energy, so all you lazy bloggers never fear! Spring is almost here! Rhymey rhyme rhyme!

I have so much more to write about annoying security guards at work, hot dads, and lack of boys, but I have to get ready to go to Brantford! Yaaaay?

--Jam?

PS: OMG If people are on away AND didn't answer you the first time you said "hi" or something on MSN, that means you should leave them alone because they're away, busy, or don't wanna talk to you! Learn, people, learn!

Where the Academy Oscarred

Kay, so the Oscars were last night. Let's see where Jam thinks they went wrong:

"Winner" is who actually won, "Best" is who should have won.

ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Winner: Philip Seymour Hoffman -- Capote
Best: Heath Ledger -- Brokeback Mountain
This one should be a no-brainer. Although I have yet to see Capote ('cause boy, does that ever look riveting), it cannot be as powerful and moving as Ledger's performance as Innis. Case and point.

ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Winner: George Clooney -- Syriana
Perfect.

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
Winner: Reese Witherspoon -- Walk the Line
Best: Felicity Huffman -- Transamerica
I suppose this was okay, but Felicity Huffman played a transexual! That should have been pretty hard to beat.

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Winner: Rachel Weisz -- The Constant Gardener
Sure, why not.

ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
Winner: Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Tough call as I have not seen any of them. I like Gromit.

ART DIRECTION
Winner: Memoirs of a Geisha

CINEMATOGRAPHY
Winner: Memoirs of a Geisha

COSTUME DESIGN
Winner: Memoirs of a Geisha

DIRECTING
Winner: Brokeback Mountain -- Ang Lee
Well deserved.

DOCUMENTARY (Feature)
Winner: March of the Penguins
Best: Anything else.
Okay, BIG strike #1. MOTP was a horrible excuse for a documentary! Sure, it took time and money to film, but does that constitute an Oscar-worthy film these days? It was boring, dull, and pointless. Hated it.

DOCUMENTARY (Short Subject)
Winner: A Note of Triumph: The Golden Age of Norman Corwin

FILM EDITING
Winner: Crash

FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
Winner: Tsotsi -- South Africa

MAKEUP
Winner: The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

MUSIC (Original Score)
Winner: Brokeback Mountain
Best: Memoires of a Geisha
Brokeback had a great soundtrack, but Memoires was made by its music and definitely deserved this one. Boo-urns!

MUSIC (Original Song)
Winner: "It's Hard Out Here for a Pimp" from Hustle & Flow
Best: Either of the other nominees.
BIG strike #2. Are you kidding me? This song was terrible! Dolly Parton was nominated for the second time in her career without a win, and the Crash song by Bird York was phenomenal, but no, we'll pick a song that is an awful example of hip-hop music to "seem" like we, as an academy, know what we're doing. GAH!

BEST PICTURE
Winner: Crash
Best: Brokeback Mountain
Not a big miss, because Crash was amaaaazing, but here's my beef. While Crash was ultimately more powerful, Brokeback really displayed greater emotion. It's a tough call whether shock comes above emotion, so I'd imagine it was a very close vote.

SHORT FILM (Animated)
Winner: The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation

SHORT FILM (Live Action)
Winner: Six Shooter

SOUND EDITING
Winner: King Kong
Best: War of the Worlds

SOUND MIXING
Winner: King Kong
Best: War of the Worlds

VISUAL EFFECTS
Winner: King Kong
Best: War of the Worlds
Three strikes, you're out. The past three categories should have all been taken by WOTW. I saw both films and the sound and effects in the sci-fi epic were far greater and more powerful than King Kong. King Krap.

WRITING (Adapted Screenplay)
Winner: Brokeback Mountain

WRITING (Original Screenplay)
Winner: Crash

Where I'm most upset is in two missed nominations. One is the fact that Zhang Ziyi was not nominated for Best Actress (she should have won, also), and that Memoirs of a Geisha wasn't nominated for Best Picture. It was really overlooked and now that I look at it, I may almost think it should have won Best Picture. A sad miss on the part of the Academy.

Every year the Oscars make me mad, but I still love 'em lol.. ah well. Real post soon, I promise.
