When when you add features to a class and they aren’t seeming to work, STOP. Your doing something that doesn’t jive w/ you code. You are overwhelmed w/ all the code you already have. You are missing something or your code just doesn’t work w/ what your trying to do.
Solution:
Simple, create a new class. Name it controlVariable (yep, just like in Science class). Try that troublesome code there all by its self. That way if it works in controlVariable then you know you code is correct and just the implimenation in you project is off. I feel this is very helpful when I’m in the trenches. Cause sometimes some code chunks don’t play well w/ others.
Don’t be prideful and recompile a swf for 2hrs just because you think, “I declared that Blue Rectangle, it should be there”. When you didn’t addChild or import or instantiate the Shape Class.
Hope this helps someone.

So I receive my e-mail for the beta test for a Google analytics reporting tool. It is great almost like the original only visually more appealing. See if you can get on the list.

Hey I just wanted to tell you about a great open source video player. (Sounds like I’m plugging the total gym).
The player is a one stop show for video. I didn’t need to download any codexs or a separate flv player for flash stuff.

I’m in on Pownce. I have invites if anyone wants one. Leave a comment
If you don’t know what Pownce is here is the definition from the site:
Pownce is a way to send messages, files, links, and events to your friends.
You’ll create a network of the people you know and then you can share stuff with all of them,
just a few of them, or even just one other person really fast.

I heard the new Smashing Pumpkins single for Zeitgeist. It’s nice, I can’t get it out of my head. Catchy, rockin’, w/ a lite punk flavor. I can’t wait to here the new album. And pay $100 for tickets to the concert… maybe.
P.S. I got some flex and as3 stuff going on to share in a few days.

I saw Inside Man tonight. Great movie. Only a few locations but kept me interested. It took me awhile to slow my brain down, due to all of these mindless movies hollywood makes. It was like a stew it took time like the “oldie but goodie” movies.
Denzel is great, watch him, watch any movie where people act well. It is hard to convey that emotion and be in that moment after 15 times of doing it and doing it with no knowledge of how exactly you should feel because you haven’t shot the earlier part of the movie.
I want to do that one day, I want to be a comic but I would like to be an actor and director too. Maybe be the Mos Def of comedy or another Woody Allen.

So about a week ago I made a comment in the call in to Dawn and Drew, they had started group called the “Kool Kids Klub”
KKK (similar gag to the simpsons Krusty Komedy Klassics) I thought it was funny so I left a comment(The Redneck).
One hated it so much they wrote me this:

| You are a very, very ignorant negro. You are an Uncle Tom. Do you know what that means? Google it you stupid ignorant negro. You have no respect for yourself. The sad thing that is you don’t realize that white people don’t differentiate a self-loathing clown like yourself and the rest of the black population. The’ll just say, “Hey you gotta hear what this black boy just said. He’s fine with the KKK. Ye-haw! Let’s see if he wants to play a coon in our Lee-Jackson pagent.”My poor ignorant brother. The joke that I really don’t think you get, because you’re to fucking dumb, is that Dawn and Drew are testing the audience to see how stupid they are. And you my friend are the most stupid. You and the person who bought stinkin slippers. They just want to see who will mindlessly follow them.I excuse them for wanting to toy with people. It’s human nature and I think its very punk and funny. But you’re just a fucking dumb ass. Can you have some fucking self-repsect? Your fucking self abasement makes me feel like shit. You’re the only fucking black person on this board and you’re lack of self worth is so fucking disgusting it hurts me as a black man to watch. Get a pair of fucking nuts and stop trying to get laughs at the expense of black people. White people aren’t going to care how silly you make yourself look. They will just laugh at your ignorance. Bro, some feedback, I know you want to be a comedian, but you’re not funny. DND for prez is alright. Its not funny. It could be though. I think you need some kind of comedy school. You suck. |
I responded with this:
Don’t have time to spell check so I’m sorry for errors, anyway…
Since you didn’t step to me personally I will rebudle publicly
Uncle Tom – A black who is overeager to win the approval of whites.
First of all thank you for your the complement. Way to teach me Brother Malcolm. I see the the error of my ways and will conform to your ways.
When I hear these Marcus Garvey type talks from other black people it makes me close my ears. Since you are so pro-black Black Paul with the “brother” talk why do you call me an Uncle Tom and fucking dumb ass.
You should be ashamed of yourself because you are showing “these white people” (And there are more then just white people listening) that we have no respect for each other. You’re a bigot and you’re are coming off as a racist. It’s cool to speak your mind but not in the disrespectful way like you did to me. You must have just left your college debate class, picking a fight like this. I am a person and as you verified comedian. I poke fun at everthing my white wife (yes I have a white wife), my Jewish friend, my Indian friend. I have jokes about my grandmother who is dying from Alzheimer’s disease.
Is interracial marriage hard, was the hollucast horrible, is it sad my grandmother doesn’t’ know who I am and is technically dead to me, yes, but I have to laugh. I have to kid, because that is what keeps me going. Being p.c. all the time and trying not to step on toes that’s not living (if it is you should not be listening to dawn and drew). Living is letting your guard down, lightening up, being open. You’ll love life more if you laugh more and critize less. Mel Brooks does it, look at The Producers…Springtime for Hilter (this is coming from a jew that lived during the holocaust). And not unless you marched with Medger Evers or Dr. King, not unless you were brough on a slave ship or hung for being black you have suffered nothing. And if you were, I’m sorry I offended you.
I spent half my life in an all white town, given may reason’s to be mad and hateful. I have been at an MLK rally that ended when the cops opened the trunk of a skin head’s car and there were guns in it. The KKK is stupid, Skin-heads stupid, Black Panthers stupid, they all should be mock and belittled. They are what still breaths hate in our country. If anything should be mocked it should be these. Whether DnD keep the Kool Kids Klub or not whatever.
And about being funny, I don’t think Carlos Mencia, Carloynee Ray, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Bememy, Corey Holcom, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, and Jim Brewer are funny and some of these people are millionares. Does that mean I curse at them in a shows forum, no. I keep my OPINIONS to myself.
Man you don’t know, to have an audience in the palm of your hand to impart knowledge, break stereotypes, and make them laugh is beautiful. I love it and the only thing that will stop me is me or God. Your rant is only MOTIVATION.
I LOVE YOU DnD fans, white, black, asian, crippled, blink, gay, straight, atheist, scientologist, whatever, everyone, even BlackPaul (it sound stupid but really) ONE LOVE
Josh
p.s. Black Paul, if you have more please email me and leave this forum alone

What a great couple of days, called a nigger by a mexican who stole my bike, go in to an arguement with a bum, and called Uncle Tom by a fellow “brother”. I can’t wait for the rest of the week.

Me and another comic (I won’t name name but he a big myspace headshot) were talking about moving I to NYC him to ? We weighted it because of the money issuses, flexible job and cost of living.
But I have imediate family there and I’m married so I need to get moving before she loses hope in me and doesn’t want to move. She is adiment about moving for a change of scenery and a possible comedy outlet for me. I know NYC isn’t the magic cure all for someone to become a working comic or actor but I think it would help.
But I don’t know I’d be going in blind and I lot of things can go wrong, I have a great job here. But nothing could happen here, too. Figuring your way in comedy (even life) is like a choose you own adventure book that was as thick as the bible, all lord of the rings and Narnia.Where will any of us end up.

It was a fun time in the motherland. My wife and I got to visit for 12 days during the Thanks giving holiday. We had to bring along my niece for the plane rides it was scary but out of most kids she was well behaved and carried her own bag. That’s good for a three year-old. She all sung I like to move it, move it song as well as we are family, over and over.
My wife was so excited to go to New York and Central Park, but when we got to central park it was cold, I was in a bad mood and all the areas of tourist intrest were under renovation.
I got to see my uncles, my dad and step mom. I went to my dad’s church. It was interesting. I’m not a big church kind of guy. They had security and guys with guns. I don’t want to get in the middle of a shoot out during communion. I’m not a let’s have church in a tent kind of person, but it was too fancy for my taste.
Man, my wife was originally slow with getting on the train thing. If you don’t know in a city with transportation you are at whim of the conductor or driver. Once he closes the doors you have to wait til the next one comes. That might be a while so you need to run if you swipe your metro card and here a train. But she got better.
I got to go up at The New York Comedy Club it was good.
I ended up getting a sommons for spitting on the subway. That was fun.
Video to come.
