The other day I was chatting with my father, and he told me this: "When are you going to get it through your head? Know one gives a shit about any of your ideas! Get a fucking job!" I've tried a number of times to explain my ideas to him. I've come to a simple conclusion. He's either mad or doesn't give a shit. I'm not sure which? Anyways, I figured what the hell. Lets try one more time.
"Pops, I know you think I've lost my mind, but I'm here to tell you my ideas make sense. Now, you've got to remember where I'm at..I AIN'T IN KANSAS ANYMORE." Whenever I talk about Collective Buying Power, organic growth strategies, blogging, reality viewing..Basically, any idea I've had the last few years? He thinks it's a total waste of time, and complete hogwash. "Now, if I was in Kansas thinking or acting this way? Lock me up in the nearest crazy house, or get my real estate license..The problem being? Your not taking into account the environment I live in! How do I say this any clearer? Your used to a Kansas conservative approach to job creation and entrepreneurship. That won't fly in Las Vegas. You've got to be way more outside the box in this town!" I could ramble on forever about why I think my ideas are legitimate, but, it just go's in one ear and out the other with him?
How many people have seen the movie Poison Ivy? The Drew Barrymore classic. Anyways, a lot of the women in Las Vegas remind me of her character..You know what I mean? That girl your mother told you to avoid, but you just couldn't..Well, that's the kind of feeling I get from a number of Vegas dimes..Now, I've got a favorite girl in Las Vegas and her name is Roxy..aka..Foxy Roxy..I'm convinced that her and I have a connection, her? Not so much..But still, I guy has to try, so I called her up again.."Hi Roxy, it's your friend Rob. Can I come over?" Roxy is out of this world in the sack..One of the best women I've ever been with..Miles out of my price range, but still a guy has to try.."Jethro, why the fuck do you keep calling me? Any why the hell do I keep answering when you do? What is it with you guys from Kansas..Can't you take a fucking hint? Call me when you have some thing going. Until then, lose my number." A lot of people would think that Roxy is rude and abrasive with the way she talks to me. The truth? I find it attractive..In the end it's just a business with her, and that's the kind of relationship I like:)
I like to end every post of mine with a thought I'm having..Call it the village idiot thought of the day.."When I talk about reality television, and how I've got a good idea for a concept..I'M BEING DEAD FUCKING SERIOUS..Most people believe I'm just a wind bag..Think about this for a moment, with a little investment, and a decent script (I would write it)...If you had those two ingredients? I promise! I'd be able to line people around the block, who would be willing to participate! And you should see some of the characters I've got in mind. The plot would revolve heavily around Guerrilla marketing and all the dimes in Las Vegas..Have more on that soon!"
