the hater does not exist. there is no hater.

if I leave a nasty comment i am a hater if i leave a fawning comment i am alright oh raymi can so many negative nasty haters really be wrong? they just see you that’s all. no big deal. content. take a picture if yourself thinking about it over a drink and some gourmet pizza…
raymi: no you’re nothing that’s the thing. if you leave a nasty comment, you are a nasty person. if you leave a nice comment, you are a nice person. not just here, anywhere, in general. get it? look instead of just trying to dig at me as a person, tell me what it is that is pissing you off about me so much.
i worked for my gourmet pizza you jealous little twat so if you hate that, maybe step it up a little for yourself and earn your own gourmet pizza.
mom: The reason you get more nasty comments then most is because of the large volume of traffic. It comes with the territory.
So you attract the fans and the miserable jealous ones too who shoot off negativity for attention.
If you’re asking them to tell you what pisses them off
your opening up a whole can of worms because everything pisses off critical abusers.
If you are open though to being critiqued on certain aspects,
you need to be strong enough to know what is true & good for you, and what isn’t.
For instance. Sometimes you say yourself you have so many photos and you can’t decide so you put them all up.
So less might be best in certain instances.
Its all about experimenting with suggestions and figuring out which ones are more fitting to you.
why on earth would the volume of photos i post get on someone’s nerves? they can get fucked for all i care. me saying tell me what bothers you so much is basically being like, i dont care what you think but maybe YOU should think about why you felt the need to tell me this opinion of yours that you took the time to share. is it going to change me? what is the intent aside from the obvious desire to hurt me. i don’t even have time to have this back and forth volley because i am too busy living my dream and achieving my goals and sharing it on my blog. if someone is jealous that’s their problem not mine and guess what i AM human and i DO have feelings and i am sad a LOT of the time and this ISN’T always easy. it IS work.
Mjölnir:
I love your photos Raymi, every one of them – an interesting chronology, to say the least.
You look like you have some Norse in your lineage, and your actions are like those of a carefree swede, please tell me your part Svenska!
Thanks for brightening up my day.
Skal!
i love this comment!!!!

ok, i’ll confess. you killed papa doc with your voodoo.
the bee says:
its so lame that people keep coming back, looking at this blog and leaving nasty hurtful comments. its so simple, if you don’t like, don’t look. the end. clearly they’ve got a case of the jelly mellies and think they can break you down and then what.. you’ll stop blogging? will they feel like they’ve succeeded if you stop? or would they just be bored now they don’t have a blog to read. aaaaannoying.
raymi: you mean i won you over?
well bee according to the first “hater” comment they’re all supposed to be right, but, about what? i don’t see the point. what does it matter to me if 400 people hate me, if they hate me why are they charting my every waking move? is it like ok magazine?
evendoctorlauraknows Says:
won me over? no, you played ping pong with me. it’s all just a base form of entertainment. like big brother meets the bachelor. you are not to take it personally, negative or positive. we come back-haters and fawners and in-betweeners ’cause there is nothing good on tv anymore and we are too tired to masturbate so we watch you in your cage. like silence of the lambs but shot in toronto. u see?
in my cage? ok you’re a little affected there. thank you for explaining to me that i am entertainment, i’ve been doing this dance for ten years and now i finally see that i am entertainment. guess what water is wet too i learned that this morning also. i do not take it personally as i don’t take it seriously, how can you take anyone seriously if they’re anonymous and saying the most ridiculous shit to engender a response? you aren’t human to me if you don’t act it.
yououghtnotmixyourmetaphors! Says:
well kid, of course you take it seriously so drop that affectation. look…all we are saying is give peace a chance and think about larger dreams. you gonna learn to write about shit that matters? or what? this here not the chronicles of narnia. it’s the chronicles of excess. i enjoy reading about your early stage alcoholism but i need more cowbell. you got one thing right though. i am an asshole. a nothing? that’s excessively cruel. and inaccurate. the end.
when you prod at someone unnecessarily you become a nothing to them as a means to protect theirself from harm. you fucking slung mud at me with that alcy comment, uncool. you have offensive social manners. you have mentioned the pink elephant in the room because you are bored, therefore, boring. this is the chronicles of pays my fucking bills if you are looking for literature WALK TO THE FUCKING LIBRARY. ASSHOLE. you seek attention from someone who makes their living based upon it. i have won. i take my blog seriously. you, your comments, i do not. i knew you would confuse that and i kept it there because i thought perhaps i might actually be dealing with a smart person here.
what shit matters to you why don’t write about your fucking self?
also, my buddy tyler stewart of the barenaked ladies had this to say, prior to your stupidity, (his opinion matters, he is a legend),
You are so ALL RIGHT it’s ridiculous. Don’t change your path, quest, anything. You know what you’re doing more than any of your peers. Keep on being RAYMI. Until you can’t…. xox
all of this went down here i have no idea the relevancy of the comment linkage to the post itself. do you guys even know how much crazy i deal with behind the scenes? like, people who don’t even know they’re crazy. you threaten to make an example of them and they come back with ludicrous shit like documented evidence of my attempting to screw with their miiiinds. seriously. so, do me a favour “haters” unless you have some actual constructive criticism for me, leave me the hell alone. i mean, go to town all you want just realize i have actual mentally (scary) ill people contacting me alongside you. some people don’t have the capacity of understanding that part of my job is making people become obsessed with me. the scariest part can and is the part when it actually works but yet, they don’t know how effective a salesman i am so they legit obsess and freak on me, remember the most random obscure bits of information about you i can only imagine how terrifying it is for real celebrities aghh i’m freaking myself out now bye i wasted the day like an insane shut in like the good old days.
ironic how i feel no guilt over blogging yet immense guilt over the time it takes to do such. also writing. being an indoor kid. i feel disgusted with myself when i feel like i have wasted time, or a day but i know i do a lot, more than many. i am learning how to mellow out it’s hard.
flickr is being a bugger so no pix just words for now see ya.
raymi, i don’t know why i read your blog, but i do. and have been for years. i think it has now become just plain habit. sometimes i read what you write and sometimes i just look at the pictures. but what is comes down to is it is addictive to watch someone live their life so publicly explicit. i think this is obvious (see: EdTV). you have made a spectacle of yourself and to be honest, you can be quite obnoxious, which is excellent fodder for both entertainment and criticism. thus viewers and thus haters. not everyone would do what you do, and not everyone can do what you do and whatever it is you are doing, you do it very well. so like that baranaked lady guy said, just keep being yourself and people who expect you not to be are just dumb and unaccepting (aka not okay with themselves aka yes, jealous). i don’t expect that this is telling you anything you already didn’t know, i just don’t know what you are expecting from these kinds of posts.. but just know that you are very respected, girl. peace and love
come on kid, you don’t want to know anything about me. it’s a rare day indeed when you evince much interest in much north of your belly button. i have no hair extensions. ok? the observations about your blooming substance abuse issues is hardly revolutionary. you drink like bukowski but you write like hilton
omg christ shut up already you boring oaf enough did i ask one goddamn question about you like i care? this is a one-sided relationship i have no time or interest in any longer. good luck to you.
I love you. You are a little sparkly rainbow hot fox mama what is wicked smaht. I bet you smell like a candy necklace. I have been reading for 8 years. I will read until there is no more to read and then I will cry. I am not even close to joking.
Love Veronica xoxoxoxoxo
LOL Reading your blog that is…..I have also been reading books for some time…… ><
lots of people on the planet.
I guess sometimes you just make some people so mad they feel like tearing you down from whatever pedestal they think you’ve placed yourself on.
Happens to lots of people man.
Maybe you’re just getting bored of trying to deal with these folks rationally…I mean fuck, it has to become tiresome and you say yourself that it has repeatedly.
While I can see where you’re coming fro on this, pretty clearly, I am confused why the guy above here who admits there is nothing on television so he comes here bothers to try and poke at the blogger with a stick.
My friend, you’re kinda boring if thats all ya can do, I mean, you seem intelligent, so really if all you’re doing is poking for the sake of poking while knowing full well why Miss Raymi here doesn’t always satiate your games with award winning banter, then really, you ARE just being a dick bag.
Just sayin.
Hmmm. Reading these comments is deflating and heavy. How sad that people seek what you’re selling then rather than a ” no thank you” or a ” I will not re-patronize” or even a ” I usually enjoy your product, my last experience no b/c…I’d like more X less Y” they spew hateful, judgmental, personal attacks. Hello! You fucking sought it out; and why?!? To get all riled up and show the readership and writer how ignorant you are and how much time you have to devote to reading things you hate???? Raymi, sending a big hug ( I’m not creepy:) just a hugger;)- xo
Raymi, why aren’t you out solving all the worlds problems?! I AM SO ANNOYED THAT YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR HAIR LOOKING GOOD. Just because you have a popular blog you are somehow a shell of a person and should never write again! BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Fuckkkkkkkkk. What are these people DOING?! I know I have talked about this before but I am SERIOUSLY so freaked out by the amount of hate you receive. If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing/reading ummmm…go somewhere else? Is this rocket science?
I send a non-creepy hug along with Alana above me.
Your a fresh ass chick Raymi. And it looks like your more than capable at bobbing and weaving these opinionated dickweeds. Your a young Muhammad Ali on these blogs, they can’t touch you. Much respect, like always.
Holy crap! not only have I been quoted by the great Raymi, but tweeted too!
maybe I WILL get lucky tonight..
Skal!
Not sure what it is about you, but I keep coming back every day or so to see what is happening to Raymi. You have fans in Arkansas, keep it up.
Well, you did get a pretty good blog entry!
There’s that!
I agree with Veronica, except about the candy necklace and crying part. (I would use more rugged words)
Monday through Friday (and occasional Saturdays) I work inside alldaylong. On beautiful days I used to feel that it was such a waste of life. It took a while to chill out and appreciate the fact that I do a good job and its been worthwhile. So I hear ya.
Your fun. Your quirky. You have an interesting life that is so far removed from my own it’s insane (thus why I read so voraciously). And you inspire me everyday with your outfit choices.
Do you say shit that irks me or makes me shake my head?
Of course!
But so do my best friends.
These people just don’t get it, and that’s their loss.
Keep doing what you do, Raymi.
Hey Raymi. It’s easy for me to say this, cos I don’t have a blog for people to shoot at me on, but …. ignore the cheap shots and criticisms and general bitchiness. You are bright, funny, attractive and young … probably all things many of your detractors are not. So, keep on doing what you are doing. If they don’t like it, they can always just fuck off … but then that wouldn’t give them the opportunity to be smug, superior and condescending, would it ….
I don’t really understand why anyone needs to leave a nasty comment. If you don’t like Raymi’s blog then don’t visit or bother reading. If you do then continue visiting. What purpose does leaving a nasty comment serve? Raymi is right just makes you look nasty. You don’t have to agree with every thing she says or does, and you don’t even have to visit her blog.
Your blog is definitely addictive. I can attest to that. So sorry to bug you but are we still going to do the shirt swap? And am I going to ever meet you? I would love to. I’m not a stalker just a long time fan.
I agree with Tyler Stewart! Raymi, you enliven the lives of so many people and make this difficult world a better place to live.
Sincerely,
Jason Michael
You are so ALL RIGHT it’s ridiculous. Don’t change your path, quest, anything. You know what you’re doing more than any of your peers. Keep on being RAYMI. Until you can’t…. xox TYLER STEWART
People talk shit in comments because they think they’re anon and it’s not face to face. In the real world, face to face they are that creepy person who never speaks at the bar but always stares. Or the one that kind of idles behind / besides you as you talk to someone else. Scared shitless that someone might want to have a conversation. And being that getting a life for themselves is so hard it’s easier to come say something nasty on the blog of someone they’ve never met. Life is better spent living “for yourself”, if you don’t like how she lives “her” life. Go out and live your own and blog it up. Otherwise move on and don’t read it. Instead of trying to make yourself interesting by trolling it’s been done and there are way better trolls. Linkin Park is the best heavy metal band ever! ;p
To Raymi: I remember way back when you sent me the link to your blog and rocketpack. I’ve been reading ever since because it’s interesting and fun, I take for what it is a break from a stressful day. The fact that you’ve been around so long is proof you know how to keep ‘em coming back and it’s great to see you so successful at it. So in short. Since I only leave a comment like every 2 years. lol Fuck all dem dat wanna hate and keep rollin’. But you already do that.
damn that was a long comment. Sorry ’bout that.
If you don’t want the haters to keep at it, quit feeding them with your responces. Haters/Flamers/Trolls live off of responces, it shows that they are getting to you.
Your blog is pretty cool overall, only complaint I have Too many plugs for companies. I get enough advertising on other forms of entertainment.
I read your blog cause you are interesting, creative and brave, not because I am interested in where I should get my head shaved or my nails painted.
thank you dan but i really dont need to be told how to run my blog i am very well versed in the nature of the troll as i have many years experience dealing with them. i fuck with them back because i enjoy challenges, i give people chances and hope that maybe i can sway them, if not, i let them have one more say then ban them. but they always come back from another ip, trash you in forums etc etc. people like a good tiff and they like to watch a good tiff. i know what i am doing here. they may THINK that they are under my skin, they are wrong.
as per my products hocking, i have always been a product whore and i always will be. absolut gave zach galifianakis a lot of money to do those online viral vodka ads and they gave him 100% creative license to do whatever he wanted so he made retarded videos of himself in bathingsuits talking nonsense for like 6 minutes over spilly martinis. the point is if i’m pitching a service or product, i’m doing it my way always, so it doesn’t matter, you’re here for the raymi signature psycho babble and that’s what you get shouldn’t you be happy for me that i get paid doing what i do and love? some people want to see me out and about getting my nails did, it’s a lifestyle thing, not everyone can just be a drifter idiot like me so they just watch me at it. too many plugs for companies? what is it that you do exactly? you know i quit a “real” job so these “too many plugs” are necessary and also lead to bigger and better things. i want to buy a house eventually, i’m a long way off but that requires money and to get money i have to keep at it. there will always be the in-between emo romantic posts about bike riding and shitty dates so you can just skim to those instead.
you are also a man and therefore in the minority of my readership, the last time i took a gender poll it was something like 52% women 48% men so i’m sorry to break it to you, i too am a woman, i do woman things and i blog them.
when i go to town with trolls i am righting their wrongs and setting things straight. it’s my obsessive compulsion to correct people, especially when it comes to facts about my person and life. eventually i will have to shut off comments completely if i ever want to get anything real accomplished as it takes up a lot of time and they outnumber me also they don’t deserve my attention anymore. i feel like it’s to the point now if one leaves a negative comment i put them in the crazy department. you are a crazy to me if you come at me with nastiness as i have mentioned copious amounts of time that you are not getting to me, i don’t have time for your hatred so move on elsewhere. my being accessible to you is a privilege.
Can I be your female Realtor when you are looking for your house?
I think that U of T should offer a course on Raymi, then people would have a larger forum to discuss and critically analyze your blog and your motives
Then again, cheap stabs wouldn’t be allowed, so forget about it.
Haters gon hate, trollers gon troll.
Wow, Raymi, your last comment above is simply the most brilliantly clear explanation of your intent I have read or could imagine. Blindingly intelligent. Searingly honest. Commercially astute. After six years, I finally think, perhaps, I get it.
it’s taken you 6 years to get me. wow. you fell down the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down eh hahaha WINKY EMOTICON
I said get ‘it’, not get ‘you’. My comically inept attempts to get to know you have made the possibility of crossing that particular rubicon as remote as the pole star.
i don’t believe you. you’re a liar!
the comments left here, and especially yours Raymi, have led me to a great deal of laughter. You know your shit and are incredibly articulate.
Oh geez,
Jason Michael
I adore you, Raymi. I just started reading your blog recently and it’s entertaining, but people really need to get over the fact that, though it’s written for them to read, it’s also written for YOU.
Blogs are essentially journals, and the part people love about them is that it’s a peek into someone’s (often) private life.
If you’re going to be a nosy creeper (Yes, blog readers including myself fit into the creeper category. We’re like peeping toms!) then accept the fact that the person whose life you’re looking into isn’t really going to give a shit about your negative opinions….
If you hate reading about Raymi’s life, go find some bland general no-photo blog to get your rocks off on
i think the lovers should love the haters. and the haters should love the haters. in the end we wear out our worries. stephen king says so. and he should know. he took oxycontin and lived to tell the tale…
robert i do not have time for your bullshit. last chance.
=) i’m glad you wrote this.
i heard about “raymi” a long time ago. when i first got into blogging. then i left blogging when i joined the military. then i recently got back into it and SURE AS SHIT RAYMI IS STILL THERE ON THE INTERNET.
it’s pretty simple. you’re like the britney spears of the net. she got all famous young n shit. everyone loved her. then they were like ‘that chicks crazy. let’s try to break her down’ and they still hound her to this day. does she give a fuck? no. does she still get paid? yep.
hate it or love it,
you’re better than most of the people who are bitching.
welcome back
