Event Apathy - RTOTD #829

Day 829

So here's a challenge for you all:

Convince me why I need to re-think my "fuck events' policy and make an argument for why any specific event is special. Pick your favorite event and tell me why it's killer and why I should want to go. Because I am reaching a point where I am maybe(?) re-thinking my "fuck events" policy but can't really figure out why I should reverse it. Nothing I can think of is doing the job, but it's a policy I've had for a while now and I've justified it with things like "you can't drink there so it's not really your scene" and "you hate dealing with new people at this point and 95% of people at events are new people so it's not really your scene" and "you don't really play much at this point and none of the classes speak to you, so why not just stay home and watch tv?" or "I'm tired of seeing naked people that I don't want to see naked and it seems like events are filled to the brim with them" and other arguments that a narcissist with some borderline sociopathic tendencies would make.

And they're all very true and very accurate arguments as to why I shouldn't bother to change my mind. But I'm trying to have a more fair debate in my head about it and can't come up with much beyond "new boobs, some of which I might actually want to see" or "I can play the 'see how many people I can make hate me' game with strangers in a different city" but those kinda suck.

So that's where you come in. I want you to push me off the fence. I can't remember why I enjoyed them at all in the first place, or if I really even did. The cynical side of me has been telling me for a while now that the only reason I ever bothered with events in the past is because whoever I was fucking at the time really wanted to go. And to keep them happy, I'd give in and go and then, once there, I just kinda meh'd my way thru it all weekend until it was time to go home and I could go back to not giving a fuck. But I don't know if that's actually true or just something else I tell myself to reinforce my "fuck events" policy.

That's why I want you to try to convince me otherwise. Hell, just use it as a chance for you to pimp whatever event you really care about.Or tell me to stay the fuck away from your event if you're an organizer and don't want to deal with me. Or it might make me really want to go to your event then if for no other reason than to fuck with you and cause a problem. Because I'm a dick like that.

But I want to try to find some of what I used to think was passion again and maybe hearing about the passion of others will help me find mine again.

Blah.

Kill The Future.... Build The Future - #809

Day 809

It's hard to get myself back in the habit of writing daily here. Especially when it's fallen on so many deaf ears in the past few months.

I mean, that's one of a dozen fairly-obvious reasons I put this daily blog on hiatus for almost 3 months. I had no passion for it and you all obviously had lost your passion for reading it. And that's because things stagnate when the bar doesn't get raised and you don't challenge the status quo. Because the status quo sucks. No matter what it is or no matter how cool it might seem to you right now, the status quo really generally sucks.

It's also why Fet has been sucking so much for so long. Because I think we've all realized that there's nothing new under the sun and outside of picking up minor skills here and there or seeing an interesting twist on an idea, there's not really all that much to give us that same delight that we once had with our kinks. I know I don't speak for all of you but there's a very large segment that I am speaking for and we're bored. Seriously. Fucking. Bored. I mean, yeah sure... there's some cool stuff here or there but for the most part it's a whole lot of "been there, done that" bullshit that we can't really bring ourselves to adjust our schedules around anymore.

You know what I'm talking about. Those things that get you so excited that you work the rest of your life schedule around certain things to that you don't miss a second of it. Those things that bring up a sense of wonder or joy or child-like enthusiasm in a way that not much else in our boring, monotonous, responsible adult lives provides.

I mean, if we're just doing the same old shit with little changes here and there, I'm pretty sure we can all figure out the future that's planned. And it's the same as now. Boring as shit.

That said, I just figured I'd mention that we won't be throwing any parties anytime soon because it has just been the same old shit. Not until we get an idea of something that is fucking AWESOME and nobody has done in years if ever before. No more trotting out themes that were fun the first time and are just the same-old-thing. No, I don't wanna throw another party until I've got an idea that's totally fucking rad.

And in the same vein, I'm done being involved in stuff that is just a lot of the same-old-shit all over again.

In fact, I'm done doing shit that's not a wholly new experience. I want something that's really going to spark my passion again and I think a lot of you do too.

So I'm also challenging you all to do the same thing. Get out of your comfort zones. Do new things and don't just get caught up in doing the same old shit over and over. Break the status quo and don't support things that are just more of the same. Don't do anything that doesn't add something new that DEMANDS that you adjust your schedule around whatever it is instead of the crap that you do if it fits in your existing schedule.

Do something new. Do something original. Do something that changes the game. And push for something different. Break the future that's coming and build something different.

Bored - RTOTD #791

Day 791

Fet has become so boring for me that I don't even know why I check it most days.

Honestly... there's very little here that I care to look at. There's far more activity on Twitter with people I actually talk to and hang out with. There's better porn on Tumblr. And I won't even get into the writings. It's either verbose erotica that bores the crap out of me, or it's ranty-rants about policies, drama, or 101 bullshit.

Really... it's just boring. And none of you motherfuckers are entertaining me. I can't always be the one doing the entertaining. It's your god damned turn!

Though this is probably just my own personal expression of SAD. Around this time each year, some people seem to like to start shit with people and create drama. Others seem to like to go on ranty diatribes about preposterous bullshit that isn't even funny or throw a temper tantrum about some perceived injustice. I, on the other hand, get bored and find little to no inspiration to write, while also being disinterested with most things on Fet.

Maybe I just need to look for better inspiration elsewhere? I don't know.

So I'm gonna just state a bunch of stuff that some people might get pissed about and others will be amused by and most everyone else will go "oh... meh" and ignore because it's as boring as everything ELSE around here. Plus, I don't feel like being super interesting today.

1. Susan Rice kinda looks like a mouse. Yes, the US Ambassador. She totally looks like that mouse from one of those animated movies. I think Stuart Little, but I don't feel like looking it up. In fact, she kinda looks like she has whiskers.

2. People that use sockpuppet accounts are childish pussies hiding in their mom's basement with massive inferiority complexes desperately seeking relevance by throwing temper tantrums.

3. I don't give a fuck if Shit, Incest, or any of that other crap is now banned from Fet. And I have no idea why people are throwing a tantrum about it. Oh, what's that? Don't like Visa's policies? I still bet you have a Visa in your wallet. Jesus christ, children... settle the fuck down. 4 things that violate obscenity laws in the country where most of the members are and where the banks are almost all centrally located are out. Give it up with your "bunch of Nazis" and "when will MY fetish be blacklisted as well" crap. Settle the fuck down and just deal with it. You do know that IRC is still around for your weird kinks, right? Go there. And please take the Furries with you? Please?

4. You people do know that when you find a way around possible new regulations and laws, you're not actually supposed to go straight to the press with it, right? Cause I just saw an article about how 3D printing is the way to get around any bans on the sale of "high-capacity magazines" for rifles. I wanna know how long before 3D printing of machine guns is the wave of the future. Cause I kinda wanna see if they can 3D print me up a motherfucking jetpack. WHERE'S MY FUCKING JETPACK! The science fiction future that we're living in says I get a god damned jet pack and I want it.

5. Hey @Diotima... some broad just died from drinking too much coke every day. Might wanna cut down on your "multiple 2-liter bottles per day" diet coke habit. Just a public service announcement.

6. Every joke that could be made about what you're giving up for Lent has been made. I'm giving up bad, recycled, and not-very-innovative Lent jokes. You're welcome. I think just about all of the rest of you should do this as well. They're just old now. But zombie jesus Easter jokes? Never get old. Same with fart jokes.

7. In case none of you bothered to look... @Artemis_Fallen's birthday party has been slightly changed. It's now a Masquerade party instead of a "just wear whatever the fuck you want" party.

8. I really kind of hate you all.

9. ENTERTAIN ME, YOU LAZY PUSSIES!

10. I am on an old-school, horrible movie kick right now. I just re-watched "RAD" and "Gleaming The Cube". I kinda wanna watch the original Super Mario Brothers movie and The Wizard... but that's mostly because I am apparently also on an old-school video game kick.

While I'm at it, I kinda wanna see what would happen if you stuck these kids that play 47 hours a day of Call Of Duty at an 8-bit nintendo system and gave them duck hunt or the original Super Mario Brothers. Maybe Contra. I'd love to see them so confused on how to beat things.

I really think that the only thing that got me thinking about this is that the Super Mario Brothers theme is now my phone's text message alert tone. I also wanna re-watch The Avengers because I made Shoot To Thrill my ringtone the other day. I'm apparently very affected by hearing certain noises.

I Really Am This Bored - RTOTD #785

Day 785

I'm so bored that I think I want to make a sockpuppet account on FL just to troll myself.

I've been severely lacking trolls recently, so it might jump start the trend.

Or they just all realized that I'm smarter than them and will own every insult they throw my way, plus I can be a jackass back at them with more originality than them, and eventually leave them as sniveling puddles of tears and blood.

Or just break out a bullhorn and be louder than them so I never even hear them.

So here's your lesson for the day... Bullhorns are Troll-repellent.

Or maybe I'm just really really bored. I think I'm just really really bored.

Since it's Friday, I figured we could... oh fuck it. I'm just gonna sit here and play solitare on my iPad or read a book or something. I just want to go home.

I mean... I'm bored enough that I'm not just going to fill this thing with porn just to amuse myself.

Or maybe I will...
