I am saying those are the only east coast artists I like.I didn't know who Lil Dicky was until my oldest son showed me some of the guy's freestyle stuff a few years ago and it is pretty amazing. Ahh, I guess I read that wrong. My bad. Ehh, I'm in the minority about Dicky then because I'm not a fan.
I am spoiled when it comes to rap/hip hop music. I grew up on the west coast and got to see a lot of great ones including Tupac, Dre, Too Short, Snoop Dog, Ice Cube, MC Eiht. That is probably why I like Kendrick Lamar so much since he has that west coast style and feel about him.

I don't listen to any of the same stuff as all you people. It is either 90's hip hop ( west coast except Wu Tang and Nas), classic rock like Zeppelin or Cream, 80's and 90's Rock/Metal with Motley Crue, Billy Idol, Pantera, Faith No More, or it is electronica sh~t that Drakz turned me onto like Massive Attack. I don't like any form of Punk music, new rap music is awful except Kendrick Lamar and Lil Dicky, country music has gone to sh~t outside of Chris Stapleton. The majority of music that comes out these days does nothing for me. Why aren't you a fan of Wu Tang and Nas?
I disagree about Lil Dicky.

Sort of but I am not a chef. But the essence of the company is the same general stuff you would see on Kitchen Nightmares or Bar Rescue. The company was started by a few chefs and one restaurateur who saw a lot of local places having issues that could have been fixed if they had been educated. I kind of fell into this job. The hours suck but the money is good and I get take time off most of the time as long as I give them enough notice. Sounds interesting. I assure you, it is far less interesting than what you see on television.

That is kind of what I do now. I work for a company that basically sends me to different restaurants to help fix them or help the owners or company get back on track. I come in tell people how they suck at running a restaurant. TIL, you're Gordan Ramsay. Sort of but I am not a chef.

I have met some ruthless editors and book agents through her that would drop you as a client or from your book deal over something like that. Most have that option written into book deals. And editors are usually people who can't get their book published so they tell people how to write theirs. It makes no sense. The literary industry is dying and insanely ruthless. I will stick to the hospitality industry. I've long since accepted that I can't sell my dreams, but I'm not about to make a career out of trying to drive others toward that same realization. What a miserable existence that must be. That is kind of what I do now.

My last serious relationship was with a girl who wrote books professionally and just watching her go through just the editing process of a novel is something I never want to go through. You have to rewrite everything so many times, I don't have the patience for that. I mean, everyone's seen how I react to critiques as they pertain to my stylistic decisions. Your sentences are too long."Yeah, probably. I'm not fixing it." An editor would kill me before we ever got past chapter one.

I can't listen to music when I write (or read, for that matter). My mind can't bend that way. I also have a hard time eating while listening to music, for that matter. Music definitely plays into the equation of getting me into the mindframe I need to be in to write. I've always coded as I go. I don't edit once it's on paper, but I do as I go. Everything I write, from scenes to monologues, is very stream of consciousness. Sometimes I have a line in mind that I need to build to or incorporate in some way. For my latest Rodriguez RP, I really wanted to use that Pesci line from Goodfellas. It wound up being the title. All of this is probably why I'll never get my book on paper. A friend of mine is about to publish, and just reading his tales of back and forth exploits with his editor makes me want to hang myself, and I have no vested interest in the project. It's possible that I'm on some sort of spectrum, but I also think it's arrogant as f*ck to self diagnose, so I ain't gonna. I used to drink when I wrote, but I just don't really drink anymore.

I'm officially on my 9th complete rewrite, but I think this is "the one". Assuming I get the outside approval needed to proceed, I should be able to post either today or tomorrow. PSA: if it's been thirteen years since you wrote a character who never had any backstory, it might be best to just leave them where they lie. I do a lot of editing as I write, which makes my writing sessions long, but there is little to no editing needed once I'm finished. Really, it's less editing than it is caring probably too much how each sentence sounds and reads. My stuff tends to lean on the poetic and dense side, which probably lends itself to that type of 'editing'. I always enjoy hearing other people's writing process. I smoke a bunch of weed and listen to either old school hip hop or a Pandora station built from Motley Crue and Kiss.

I will just step in. It will be like you never left and it will drive High Horror crazy. I, for one, welcome the return of the Kyzer regime. And say what you will about the unorthodox nature of the Kyzer/Drakz regime we had a big roster and we got everyone involved that wanted to be.

What would you expect from such a learned man? He does have an associates degree after all. You're gonna make a great solo owner. I will just step in. It will be like you never left and it will drive High Horror crazy.

So Drakz and Brennan were useless with this question, so I will as everyone what is the average word count on your rps? I have taken what I had wrote for the Ante match and altered it to fit with what I want to put out against Drakz and it is coming out a lot longer than I anticipated intially. You can't throw the word "average" at me and not expect me to coil up in a ball at the notion of getting you a mathematical average of the word count of my 37-ish RPs. Just looking back at my recent batch of high stakes matches (which is really just to say any matches wherein I was fighting for or defending a title), my average word count is 7,179. That's only a sample size of seven RPs, but just at a glance, the only one that really stuck out as skewing particularly high is my SuperBrawl RP against Lucas Crowe, which took the cake at 13,646 words. By contrast, my entry against you for our title match was just over 6,700 words. I figure this is probably a decent look at my offerings anyway, given that I don't try and fluster myself too much with quantity so much as I do quality (sup, bad guy™'s 900 page SuperBrawl RP). I didn't expect you to turn it into a science.

Put together a real attempt at a show poster; not some five minute hack job Zmey-zilla poster. Hope you like it. That is straight gnarly. I love it.

It's also not totally off the mark. It pretty much is since one didn't have anything to do with the other.

Wait til you see the plans for the reanimated, self righteous corpse character we have planned. Those aren't plans that are going to make him happy.

WFWF isn’t ready for Indian Muhammad Hassan yet. We have a guy who uses an army of Thai orphans commanded my a drugged up midget to win fights. We're ready for anything. Well this is inaccurate.

My favorite part of the Hall of Fame was the blanket statement up top that said all inductees were voted on by the WFWF, which is weird, because I was around when the Epoch got inducted, and there wasn't no voting on the matter. CBT tried to put me in, twice, and I refused both times and told him I'd quit the fed if he did it. Which is ironic that I'm now a 2x Hall of Famer, and was actually the first to be double inducted You aren't a Hall of Famer. It doesn't exist anymore.

'Member when the National title was defended every week? That was fun. Fun fact: I recently floated the idea of reinstating that stip with a new title. Ultimately, it was decided that it wasn't the best course of action at this time, which is weird when you consider that I'm actually deferring all executive decisions to an outside party. High Horror is the puppet master.
