After All...

Blog Time Again!

Published on September 11, 2004 By Anne Alogy In Blogging

Hello Again,

When you argue with someone, and they don't counter on a point you made, but harp on something else out of the blue, that's their way of admitting that they've lost the argument, but are trying to save face.....Continuing from last blog's Beatle references: A Hard Day's Night and Yellow Submarine are both 4-star, gold-plated classic films.....Help! falls a little short of classic status, and Let It Be is just plain boring.....Nobody's fault except Paul McCartney's.....Al Brodax, who also produced the Beatles' cartoon show, should get a Lifetime Achievement award for his work on Yellow Submarine.....We've been getting some un-California like humidity here the last few days.....I'll take an earthquake anytime over a hurricane.....I don't lose sleep worrying about quakes.....You can't live here and do that.....So many myths about earthquakes.....Hollywood hasn't helped, but they are in the entertainment business, not the information business.....The ground does NOT open up and swallow people and buildings.....California CANNOT fall into the Pacific.....There is NO SUCH THING as Earthquake Weather.....In the 1970 flick, Earthquake, starring Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner was cast as Lorne Greene's DAUGHTER!.....There was something like seven years difference in age between them.....The safest place to be when a quake hits is the actual epicenter.....As if you could plan that!.....In the epicenter, you won't feel the quake at all.....The Dodgers are collapsing in the wrong direction.....C'mon guys, lose, dammit!.....Only 2 reasons to visit Maryland: Camden Yards & crabcakes.....Great Dilbert punchline: "We gave the boss an Etch-A-Sketch and told him it was a laptop! He's trying to make it work now!".....While doing some browsing the other day, a woman said "Excuse me" to me so that she could look at some clothes I was standing next to.....She was smiling and very pleasant, and I was glad to cede the space to her.....She picked out a few items and tried them on in a dressing booth, don't know if she bought any of them.....She was Natalie Cole.....Prediction: Miami Dolphins (+3) 24, Tennessee Titans 17.....Take the unders and the points!.... 9-11-01.....Always in our hearts and minds.

Thanks for reading. As Always, Anne Alogy

Excuse me, but is this your way of commemorating 9-11? Aren't you the one who said you had paid no attention to me? Aren't you the one who complained about a "moldy" old argument? I made several remarks that you NEVER countered. Neither did the choir that you preach to. You proved NOTHING. I left the argument for the sake of peace in the JU family. And you're continuing it without my participation, I guess. I'm not a mental masochist, like you apparently are, so I have no need to see what the "pack" is saying about me. I don't care, either. I can fight my battles alone. Apparently you can't. I live and work in Hollywood, so I've had to deal with people much sharper than you, face to face, for years. And I haven't had to get a prescription for anything yet. You wouldn't last a day here. Bother me all you want. At worst, you're annoying, at best, you're amusing. If you've missed hearing from me, it's because I have a life here. Sorry, I don't have time to get into petty arguments with someone who doesn't have a clue in the first place.

Dish it out? What names did I call you? I don't have hateful listings like Gay Niggers, or posts like "I prefer the company of whites, so what?" like you do. Did I take any cheap shots at you after your revelations about your manic-depression? Tell me what I "dished out", because I'm befuddled, especially by someone who keeps saying that she ignores me, and compared JU rankings to make herself out to be better. I guess you need the head boost more than I do.

Did you argue with me when I wished you well? Now please excuse me, I haven't been through something like this since grade school. Go ahead and tell your friends that I'm chicken. Bask in their telling you "You tell her, LW!" If you need strokes like that for self-esteem, well, I'm against suicide, so go right ahead. That's the kind of wording used in grade school. And that's exactly where your behavior level is at. GROW UP, FOR CHRISSAKES!

All this from someone at least 13 years younger than you!

Thanks for the extra points! When can I expect to hear from your friends?

Nothing of any merit, they are all as foolish as she is. I am glad you are sticking up for yourself Anne, well done!

*Sir Peter, I humbly curtsey in your majestic presence! Thank you for the nice words. I wish I had more time to read more of other people's blogs. I will make a point of reading yours. I also hope someday to make another trip to England. London may be the most fun city in the world.

Anne Alogy - I wish I had more time to be on here reading all of my favorites, such as your blog. I like your style and your attitude.

so you think an actor is generally "sharper" than anyone else? Even the most ignorant amongst us can have talent

sorry anne, but i really do have impulse control issues and this is just tooo much temptation. even those who work on the far periphery of 'da biz' very quickly lose any illusions about actors (as a generic for film/tv performers) being sharp--never mind sharper--than anyone at all. the vast majority have a single talent (of sorts) in common: they're photogenic. for everything else, theyre dependent upon writers, directors and a broad spectrum of skilled professionals ranging from makeup artists to fx techs--all of whom must constantly and concurrently ward off unrelenting incursions of the ever-persistent predatory powerphages known as agents and studio personnel. all but the very strongest soon succumb; survivors return for another day of explaining each joke in stupifyingly simple terms to those who'll ultimately be showered with laughter and statuettes just for remembering how to deliver their lines properly.

which is why the only thing more hilarious (in a very ironic sense) than an 'actor' running for governor/president/dog catcher--or those who vote him into office--is the public's inability to distinguish between statecraft and a well-scripted performance.

Besides, celebrity worship is disgusting.

shonuff is--the very reason i was so shocked to see people actually admitting publicly to voting for arnold in broadcast interviews.

although ive never discussed with anne what she does in that jungle or for whom, she says shes a working writer--an avocation not for the weak or faint in mind, body and spirit--and im sure she is what she claims to be

My, my, my, talk about people who just don't get it! Let's go point by point over this nonsense:
First, I wrote people, not actors. It's RIGHT THERE in the portion you cut & pasted! That includes producers, directors, executives, technicians, administrative assistants, other writers, AND actors! Can you somehow grasp the concept that show business is a team effort of many people working together?
Next, I couldn't agree with you more on the following point: having worked in the business, and being in the know about some people, I also think celebrity worship is disgusting. That's why I never got Ronald Reagan's popularity, or Arnold's election as Governor!
Third, You're the one who keeps using the N-word, seriously or not! In your own words in your latest reply, you deny being a "nigger-hater"! Thank you for making my case for me!
Next, If you can find where I called you names like Psycho, or used terms like Sandbox, cut & paste it, display it here, and I'll apologize. I do know this, you have NOTHING to make me apologize for. My conscience is clear.
Instead of saying vague things like "that much is obvious" or "yes you did" or "look at the link", why don't you cut & paste actual quotes of mine and show them here, so that you can put me to shame? Can't you do that without making people read supporting comments from your friends? I'm guessing no.
Next, YOU are the one who tried to pull rank, complaining about a top-10 JU user having to be nice to someone ranked 422nd! You say that you have just as many detractors as admirers, does that mean you think you're a celebrity? You seem to have an expanded sense of self-importance. It's sounding like JU is the only place you get any praise. Marraige & real life haven't been very fulfilling?
As for being part of a gang, I noticed your friends didn't come here to attack me, like I expected. Is that because I disarmed you with that point?
As for my topics, what you think of them is your opinion. There's a big difference between opinion and fact. Do you really think I'm going to feel bad because of what you say and change the way I do things? You may have power & influence with others, but not here, not with me. You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, just don't try to confuse people into thinking it's a fact. If I cover a lot of topics, it's because I can speak of a lot of topics. It's called in polite circles being well-read.
Jealous? Let me see, I'm at least 13 years younger than you, you've admitted you're on medication for Manic Depression, you've made broad-brush statements about different groups of people, You've shown intolerance to anyone who disagrees with you, you've admitted to using an illegal substance, which by the way, shouldn't be illegal, You're cyber-stalking me now, and you're moving from Cleveland to Richmond, where old times dere are not fergottun, ask Arthur Ashe's surviving family members, And I'm supposed to be jealous? That's as funny an idea as Newt Gingrich being President!
Who's whining? With this exception, I'm not the one leaving replies that require measuring tape! I'm certainly not an attention whore. I got all I needed from my family, friends, classmates and lovers. I don't need JU for aggrandizement, like others I could mention. When I get a compliment, I feel it's earned & deserved, not because I'm friendly with anyone.
If I discovered an error of my ways, why would I blacklist you? I would be grateful to you for pointing it out to me. That's what normal people do.
I also believe in freedom of speech, for EVERYONE, no exceptions, so blacklisting people is not an option for me, come what may.
For someone you keep trying to convince is irrelevant, you sure pay me a lot of mind. You have been trying to knock me down ever since our first encounter. Apparently, like a lot of other things in your life, you've failed at that. I haven't backed down, apologized, whimpered, hung my head, or even given you a second thought off-line. AND I NEVER WILL! I will, however, repeat something I said to you earlier:
GROW UP!!!

*WiseFawn, thank you for the nice words. I'm just trying to be myself, no games, no trying to impress people. There's a big difference between showing off & proving yourself. I wish more people knew that difference. For all I know, she may be a nice lady. She just has funny ways of showing it. In any event, she can't possibly be having an easy time of it, so I don't wish her ill will. If I'm helping her get something out of her system, then so be it.
I'll be looking foward to reading you, WiseFawn!

*kingbee, there is little I can add to your remarks. As usual, you're right on the mark! We should exchange experiences sometime. Maybe we've run into some of the same people, or can tell similar stories. Thanks for the response.

*Sir Peter, once again I am humbled in your presence! We needed the British in WWII, we needed the British musically from the 60's on, and for as long as the world exists, we'll always need the British! Rule, Brittania, I always say!

Your last line made me think about something I said to her earlier:

Perhaps, I was wrong about something I said to her. Maybe she could last a day here, as a guest on the Jerry Springer Show! The program is owned by Universal TV!

I wonder what she'd say to me if I was a person of color or Jewish. Sir Peter, thank you!

I dread to think my dear, I would never speak ill of a Jewish person.

(take a look at these thugs they call "Rap Artists" these days, some of them are barely literate.)

Another low blow from someone who does not know what she is talking about, putting "artist" and "barely literate" in one sentence makes you and your sentence the biggest oxymoron I have ever encountered. Don't attack people who can't defend themselves and whom you know nothing about, that just cheapens your silly prejudices.

At least SPM has a more believable premise about his "peasants" which is more than I can say about your little anti-anything not white outbursts.

As always great blog Anne! I love your style of writing and the way you put a lot of thought in your work:)

*Kelly, thank you!

*Wuxiaomao (how do you pronounce that, phonetically?), very well put, and thank you!

Finally, to our KKK alumnus, I was in NYC in May, always a pleasure to visit there, and I've been to Baltimore. Outside of Camden Yards, Chesapeak Bay and crabcakes, I wasn't impressed. The accents of Cajuns and New Englanders are easier to understand. Tell me about your West Coast visits some time.
Finally, I'm glad for you that you left the Klan once you learned of illegal activity. However, I'm more disturbed that you joined them in the first place. That's like thanking Hirohito for surrendering after Hiroshima & Nagasaki, but not preventing Pearl Harbor. You must have thought something of them.
At my high school graduation in 1992, a female school district Assistant Superintendent told our class something that I feel is far more important a lesson than "Be careful what you wish for." She said:" Be careful what you do. It can never be erased."
If you find my blogs unreadable, 3K-lady, don't read them. Simple.
Perhaps you missed your true calling. If you had been born in Germany, all you would have had to say is "I was just following orders!"

Wuxiaomao (how do you pronounce that, phonetically

*You are welcome*

My name is tonal. Wu 1st tone as in woo
Xiao as in shawl
mao as in owl

wu is a family name but also means 5 if you pronounce it in 2nd tone
xiao means small
mao means cat!

Basically, I figured if my students can give themselves names like Kobe, swallow or even god in English why can't I be a small cat in Chinese?
