After 12 long weeks of not touching this thing, and i have to go look and what do i see... im tagged by showtime with an interesting lil thingy doo... its about guilty pleasures...
The Rules: The first player of this game starts with the topic of "5 Guilty Pleasures" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about 5 Guilty Pleasures as well as state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names.
1. as with showtime i too myself dabble in the art of what he called "street magic" and i think i will fuck with him next time i see him... anyway picked it up from watching stumbling drunks have conniptions about basically moving your hands faster than their already inebriated minds... ooh stinger.
2. dur... wrestling, i love violence. i cant help it, weather its an action movie, or a stupid cartoon, if someone gets hit, i enjoy. Even if its me, because i know damn well that who ever saw it is laughing on the inside, because its not them. We all have the moment when we see someone get hit in the nuts with a baseball bat by a little kid swinging at a wild pitch. but back to the main point. ok, heres a little story of evolution, animals protect their own, with violence. humans fight and kill over the ground they walk on... like territory... like animals, because we are animals. Back in Rome they held huge get together like things with royalty and everyone around, and they held shows for entertainment, with gladiators. they fight and kill, and everyone cheers and screams, almost like the gladiators fight for the people, and then they can go home and they wont really want to fight because their inhabitions were used during the show. Now the other drawback... gladiators died. all the time. Running out of men they eventually stop shows, and Rome crumbles. everyone starts killing and blah blah blah. Carnivals, like smaller versions with poor people, had strong men. who demonstate strength and wow a crowd for chump change. cocky crowd members get pummeled and strong men get in trouble. so they travel to other carnivals and put one strong man vs another, now it draws huge crowds. strong men get hurt, no more shows, people riot, elephants rampage, stomp thru gates, and get shot up by cops, its crazy. so yea, wrestling is like that... almost. just evolved to todays standards of health litigation and laws against violence unless permitted by promoters and insurance and all kinds of bullshit... so next time you think wrestling is fake. its not, its just watered down fighting, because we have to... and if you dont like it, go to the law. believe me, we will kick your ass on the streets anytime, but probably get arrested for murder.
3. smoking. i know its bad but it fells good... so there.
4. video games. i have binary code encrypted in my genetics. put the controller in my hands and let me fly. any environment, i can adapt. new ability becomes second nature. thats the closest thing to playing a God since feeding tubes and those things that shock the shit out of you... CLEAR!
5. film, has alot to do with the violence thing, just much safer and you can almost take out aggression just by watching something, you can feel scared, or happy, just by vegetating and watching it happen, you dont have to be there, you just get to see it and its happening, and you respond. whether its raw unedited film of real life shit, or a complete theatrical release, whatever. the experiences ive had with making films are even better that just watching it.
here's 5 that probably wont do this...
charlie rockstar
jeff king

my favorite team jessica and jon, both count for 1
