Onion Writer Enjoys Indie Rock Show, Hits On Co-ed

An onion writer was “comp-ed” one ticket to attend an indie rock show in manhattan yesterday… where they say they had a “good time, and it was a pretty good show.” Then went on to further add “it was pretty great getting free tickets, I got in quick, didn’t have to wait online – I just said I was with the onion, and that I was a writer, I think that they thought I was the music review person, but I wasn’t, but they didn’t need to know that, I’m a ‘contributing writer’ but I know the music people…they’re cool, they were there, I saw them, they were hitting on this pretty hot looking co-ed so I didn’t wanna spoil it for them. I ended up talking to a few really cute co-eds myself, I told them that I worked for the onion and that I didn’t have to pay to get in, and that I got in real fast and didn’t have to wait on line… they said that it must be so cool to write for the onion and that they thought the onion was so funny and then they asked me how I got my job and they said they had a friend who wanted to write for the onion…we exchanged emails… it could have gone better… I would have liked to have had sex… so I guess it was a failure… but still, I hit on some really hot co-eds… and I mentioned I wrote for the onion."

Brandon's Prejudice Black Snake Moan Review

I haven't seen Black Snake Moan, and I haven't seen Hustle and Flow... is it me, or does the trailer for Black Snake Moan look really fuckin' stupid... I don't really give a shit about Christina Ricci all unhealthily skinny trying to be sexy, I don't give a shit about Justin Timberlake, and I don't give a big enough shit about Samuel L. Jackson starring in a movie to just go see it... based on the other shit I chose not to see that he's been in... The trailer makes the directing or writing seem so dumbed down THIS SHOT IS A SEXY SHOT ... THIS SHOT IS A SUSPENSEFUL SHOT, THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE SHOCKING, THIS SCENE IS SUPPOSED TO SELL TICKETS WITH 'AWH THIS IS COOL' FEELING! well fuck you, call me an ignorant stubborn idiot who needs to see a doctor... but that movie looks like cake for idiots.

After May 2002

You know what I’ve done since I graduated college in 2002, film school in 2002, nothing, I sit online and I don’t even have the internet, I bought a lap top computer and I move that around to get a very weak internet signal where it takes two hours to log into something write a message and log out and hopefully not accidently send 4 of the same message cause like an idiot hitting the elevator I hit the send button 4 times…trying to get it to work… and im not above waiting 3 hours to upload a youtube video… while I sit there attentively monitoring it, making sure the computer doesn’t go to sleep and I gotta find something else to do in that time and by ‘find something else to do’ I don’t have a television, so it’s either read, masturbate, or think about suicide, but somehow I usually manage to do none of the three, I sit there and stare out window and I honestly couldn’t tell you what I was thinking about, because I’m probably not even thinking, I stare at a building and let my eyes sorta blur… that’s what I do, that’s what I’ve done since I graduated film school in 2002, I gaze out the window and let my eyes blur as I vaguely look at a building… the general direction of the building… not thinking anything, just sorta worrying…

Bar Patron Smoking Cigarette Outside Strikes Up Conversation With Other Smoker About Smoking Laws.

Two Things I've Learned While Living In New York City...

Religion a Hoax! Creators go public!

Religion a Hoax!

Faith sensation mystery solved, creators go public!

The creators of "bible" and "religion" stepped up and claimed it was an attempt at a new form of story telling. The three twenty somethings met at a party somewhere in the African area a long time ago, one is an agent at CAA, a large Los Angeles based talent agency, one an ex-"food gatherer" who turned to the "story telling business" and a young screenwriter. They decided they wanted to try a new medium- telling real like stories with a meaning or message, that could be told and passed along, where people could "take part" in this new interactive artform.

The three admit that the stories were false or made up, but that isn't going to stop them from making their stories...

"So what Jesus' mom never had sex and had him through 'magic' and Moses split the ocean and communicated with a shrub that was on fire with a supreme being, I'm still gonna listen to it and make it something I do for my entire life," says Michelle Olsen, 17, Illinois.

A representative from CAA did not immediately return a call on Monday morning.

So far millions of people have been killed and burned and tortured, repressed, hated, murdered, raped, molested, mislead to do all types of crazy shit - but even the creators don't know exactly where their story telling will take them. Stay tuned...
