I had a nice entry in my head this morning, but every time I've tried blogger it's been down for maintenance! The waiting has been killing me!!! And it killed my inspiration as well, unfortunately. I'll just ramble like I always do.
Yea...
When I got into work this morning I got my usual number of spam emails in my Outlook account. I need to find a way to block the damn spam (oooo, that rhymes...catchy ain't it?) because it pisses me off. The names they use to get their stupid ass penis-enlargement drug emails through are fucking insane! Some examples...
*Purls H. Earthlings* ~ Yea! Earthlings! I think I knew him in high school!
*Nudism C. Predicament* ~ OOoooh, right! I worked with good 'ol Nudism at one of my temp jobs...
*Bacon L. Tidewaters* ~ OH NO! How on earth did my fat ex boyfriend find me?!
Insane, I tell you...INSANE! And who FALLS FOR THIS?! WHOEVER IT IS, STOP! YOUR PENIS IS FINE THE WAY IT IS!!!
OH yea!
Now I remember what I was going to talk about... I was listening to the annoying local radio DJs this morning, a rare thing for me because I hate the radio. I happened to tune in as they were talking about animation, a little bit of a sore subject for me. I rambled a bit about it in this entry. Anyway, they were talking to a guy (now I forgot his name and the name of his site, DAMNIT) who opened an animation studio (in some state that I also forget now) for animators who do it the old fashioned way...BY HAND. I came in when the guy was talking about how Disney has downsized so much since they do the majority of animation on computers now. He went on the compare works of art such as "Snow White" with "Toy Story" and how each is unique in its own way. He said that hand-drawn animation, when it is done right, is beautiful and takes so much effort. It shoul!dn't be completely wiped out by computer animation. It should continue to be appreciated for the art that it is. For the skill that it takes. I don't blame the DJs for getting bored with the guy because he did go on and on in a dry boring way and even used the word "Golly" twice! But he made some valid points that the DJs just didn't get because they haven't an INKLING of artistic sense when it comes to illustration and animation. Actually, they don't have much sense with music either, but that's beside the point. They kept saying stupid shit like, "But the computer animated movies look so cool!" and "Everything looks so real!"
ARUGHGUGHGHGHGHH!!!!!!! DUMBASSES!!!!!!! YOU HAVE NO CLUE!!!!!!
It pissed me off so I had to turn it. Mass produced shit is what it is to me. Countless video games (I detest most video games), stupid cartoons and full length animated movies that all look the fucking SAME to me. I have absolutely NO desire to see "Over the Hedge". More fucking computer animated animals. Art is such a difficult field because so much of it has been done before. However, I do want to see "Cars". And I DO like other movies like the Shreks and the Toy Stories and the Ice Ages. But they don't even come close to the hand-drawn ones, in my opinion. Sure, you can use computers to help the process...but for the WHOLE project?! Sure! Just churn them out so you can make more and more and MORE MONEY! Because we all know that Sonofabitchgoddamnmutherfucking MONEY rules the world!
Ooooh...that's another thing I was thinking about. How would we function as a society without MONEY? Ah, but that's a topic for another entry. For now I'm just happy because I think that I've figured out FOR SURE that I NEVER want to work in the field of animation. If I do anything, it will be illustration. People can use computers for THAT, too, but that's okay...I guess. You know what it is? I'm getting older and becoming resistant to change. All these whipper-snappers who have got patience for NOTHING but instant gratification! All this newfangled hodgepodge! Why, when *I* was a kid... Heh. Can't be resistant to change. But I have a right to my opinion!
And before I sign off... Good news! The MP3 player works! I'm finally with the times there! Now I get to do what I've been wanting to do for a while now...but I had to hold back because it was better than having nothing. I have to try to jog with my CD player, for old times sake. Then when it starts to skip I will first, remove my precious CD and THEN I get to THROW it as HARD as I can! Be it against a wall or the sidewalk, I want to see that piece o' shit SHATTER!!! MUUUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! I know I'm insane. That's fine. EEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeee!!!! DErrrrr!
