yeh i guess i look pretty skinny and not as tanned in this picture. it was taken, um, a couple of weeks ago. i’m still pretty tan, though, it’s just the lighting and the pale hungoverness of my being at the time and the angle that shows the skinnay. and the, well, stress. the metabolism. the depression. the everything i decide to take on because i am trying to be everyone’s mother.
enough on that.
the video music awards things are on now and fil is on his way over with my cat hat to watch the shit out of it and tell me about the canoe trip and stuffs.
oh and i am not taking lithium i decided. that shit hurt my stomache like nobody’s business, ulcers dude, causes ‘em. as well i was drinking like bukowski all over the place which ain’t cool.
and i saw bb king the other nite and he was too, too moving and this lady told me to shut the fuck up even tho i wasn’t talking the most, well, maybe the loudest but at least i don’t have feathered hair and a leather jacket at a bb king concert and if i wanted someone to be quiet i wouldn’t wait 50 minutes to tell ‘em so and i sure as shit wouldn’t tell them to shut the fuck up ‘cos you never know who yer mouthin’ off to, you know. so i simply stubbed my cigarette out on the back of her chair, went to the bathroom, and expressed my anger in an adult manner to the other pupils of mine, yes, by using sign-language and dolphin squeaks.
and then i went BLAAAARRRRRHHH YAYAYAYYAAAAAAAAAAAA BB to the Kizzle EAST SIIIIIDE!
dear: this movie, could you be any better or sweeter? i don’t think so.
dear: little girl from signs I AM GOING TO ABDUCT YOU SO PACK YOUR LITTLE BAGS!
dear: everyone else, if you are not busting up laughing whilst sobbing quietly simultaneously then you are a huge asshole and officially removed from my friend list.
steve carrell plays the suicidal uncle who goes along with the family to california in the vw bus cos he can’t be left alone. his facial hair makes him look like a terrorist. the development of his character is pretty nice to witness, in the beginning all sad and mopey and by the end he is all triumphant and a key player in bringing the family closer.
he runs funny too.
the teenage emo son doesn’t speak cos he’s doing this vow of silence and so he writes everything down on a notepad and the first nite he writes to carrell PLEASE DON’T KILL YOURSELF TONIGHT.
ok i don’t want to spoil anything but at the end the little girl does this dance performance that rivals john heder’s in napoleon dynamite.
it’s pretty pathetic that your station is reduced to making fun of carnival workers for its show content. is that really the best you can do? why not make fun of black people next or gas station attendants!? seriously, 99.9 is shitty enough but now it’s just plain humiliating to live in toronto and be associated with a radio program that belittles a people who come to our city to work and put on a yearly event and all you do to say thanks is point out their body odour? hey maybe my 10 year old cousin could be a guest speaker on the program tomorrow his fart jokes totally SLAY!
anyway, i’m not one to stop myself from making fun of every person and thing in my immediate surroundings however, i would know better than to broadcast it on a radio show that is heavily followed by young and impressionable youths who in-turn will be attending the CNE and who knows what after that, i’m not telling you that you should feel responsible that pretty much should be OBVIOUS to you, what i’m saying is YOUR RADIO STATION WAS MAYBE A 5 BEFORE THIS CARNEY SHIT AND NOW IT IS A ZERO.
also i am a popular toronto bigmouth, i have a website that receives roughly 3,000 hits daily and i will definitely be making a stink about this on it, you’re welcome.
ok so i read my friend sarah‘s blog the other day, you have to scroll down to the carney’s post with the photos i dunno why i can’t link to it specifically anyway i was a little miffed at what i read:
twice in the past week i have listening to seemingly intelligent dj’s on different radio stations be-littling carny workers
who the fuk are these pedantic blokes to judge
anyone who makes an effort despite the shit they may have been dealt or the way their life has unfolded to be honest and make what they can of themselves should be commended
to demean and ridicule people for the job they hold or how they look and talk or their level of education when there are so many people out there that make every effort to be slothful and live off the backs of others makes me sick
so i’m angered cos i get angry at things and i know this is going to surface a bunch of RAYMI YOU SAY RETARD – the difference is i SAY retard but i don’t MAKE FUN OF HANDICAPPED PEOPLE just as i would say carny but i wouldn’t make fun of them.
so then sarah emails me today and says guess what they’re having a make fun of carneys contest for the duration of the CNE!
so anyway i’m going to write to mix 99.9 and inform them of just how whiter than white trash they are and i invite you to do the same here is sarah’s letter try and copy it but change the words around so it looks likes you wrote it hahaa SCHOOL!
Dear Karen,
I am 30 years old and have been a mix listener for many years, and now quite frequently on my long drive to work from Toronto to Oakville.
On two recent mornings, both last Wednesday and again today, I have heard the morning show hosting a contest called “Carney Masterpiece Theatre” at approximately 8:30am. I have to say, I have never been more embarrassed, disgusted or offended listening to the radio before. I like to think that I have a healthy sense of humour and am not someone who becomes offended easily, but I was actually so angered, that I felt the need to contact you.
I am not sure whether it was a scripted introduction to the contest or just the dj making his own comments, but he spoke of “carney” workers as having BO and other derogatory descriptions. Not to mention the whole premise of the contest depicting Carnival Employees as laughable, sub-par people. This is blatant stereotypical harassment. To demean and ridicule an entire group of people for the job they hold and how they seemingly look and talk is entirely offensive and unfair.
Anyone who makes an effort, despite the cards they may have been dealt or the way their life has unfolded, to try to earn an honest living and make what they can of themselves should be commended and not belittled.
Toronto of all cities, given our multicultural mix and diversity of people should be mindful and respectful of all individuals who live in or come to our city.
From what I understand, this contest is running through the duration of the CNE. I would like you to consider stopping the contest, effective immediately, given your responsibility for under section 3(1)(h) of the Broadcasting Act for the programs you broadcast, not to mention the high standards and level of professionalism and respect that the Mix aspires to in this city. Pending your response, I will be contacting the CBSC to conduct a full review of the content of these specific radio segments that have been aired.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this email. With kind regards, Sarah
