If this person would, like me, be up front and say who it really is, ( I am not asking for much) I would have respect and pay attention. Until then, how can I take anything that he or she says seriously?
Anyway, I need a full name and ID, and no more cute tricks of hiding identity, cloaked in a few layers of internet bullcrap, and playing around with language.
I'm dying here, and all I want is honest discussion.
I am completely above board, and everyone knows where I live.
And who the hell ever said that I am, or ever wanted to be a "Poster Child" for anything?
Fuck all that, and Fuck every American Celebrity or public person that has ever lived.
FUCK HOLLYWOOD! AND FUCK THE ENTIRE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY!
And I have grave doubts about USA Political life, and the entire USA media in general.
NO. Poster child I am not.
All I wanted was a quiet life when I filled out a Law School Application.
A dignified Career in other words, and the last thing I desire now is the eye of the "Mob"
To return: Yesterday, this horrible commenter left a comment telling me to go ahead and kill myself, in so many words, after reading one of my poems. (The Giggly Poem)
I did not publish the comment.
Today, the same "lgalgal" decided to tell me that I am a personal failure, and that lgalgal knows painters that do very well, and seemed to imply that I could pay off my Student Loan debt if I were not such an all around failure and/or shithead in general; that my failure in Law and my failure to pay off my Student Loans are all my fault, one hundred percent.
I will take blame where and when blame is due, for not paying off my Student Loan Debt. But there is a line somewhere, between all of that, and outright Usury.
And furthermore: LGALGAL seems to want to point out that people in Nicaragua have it a lot worse than me.
Well, in reply to lgalgal, (and draw your own inferences) :
I won't go ahead and kill myself yet, but I have worked alongside a number of Latino painters from the Mexican Panhandle: El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala.
And I am a keen observer, I like to think, of the whole "Painting Business" in general.
Including the underground "Cash" service economy that is part and parcel of painting and many services in general.
So I will discuss, and stay tuned.
I have been completely non-anonymous on my blog for quite a while now.
Therefore, I have decided that I will not publish any more Anonymous comments.
Time has passed, and things do have to change as time goes along.
If anyone wants to write, my e-mail is in my Profile description.
If a friend wants to comment, just write to me, and I will post that comment on the friend's behalf, with or without identity.
So this Post will be continued, and keep checking in.
I have lots to share about some of the New Americans: The Latino Painters. To share not as a lawyer "Type" -- but as just another painterguy.
Some of the stories are quite heart rending.
