Who do you work for?
If you're a people pleaser this is a tough world to live in. Chances are whatever you bring to the table is being looked at with jaundiced eyes. The crowd looks at each other to determine what kind of deal they can get on your services. There's a general lack of humanity at work and letting you keep your dignity isn't part of their bargain. '
There will be 20 rooting against you for every one who isn't. This is the world we live in now. Trying to bring value to the surroundings is generally thought of as a selfish act in this era. If you don't put blinders on when living in an institutionalized hate den, you'll have nowhere left to turn.
It's a shame the way she makes me scrub the floor.
I ain't gonna' work on Maggie's farm no more

Well such a jaded fly.
Seems you've flown 'round the world a few times by now.
Well...
Yes Maggie's a bitch, leave the farm, asap.
20 rooting against you for everyone that isn't?
Nah, real life has a lot more 'wha who don't know him' in it than that.
That ratio is mainly stupid worthless idiot forums
where absolute wastes of life pontificate and stroke each other's
minuscule organs. You make the mistake of wandering into such dens
of dissonance, you are assured with what you'll get.
Avoid moron forums----not this one, this one's COOL.
and you'll be fine.
Or, about normal.
Now.....
You want the whole stupid thing on a map?
Which you'll promptly lose then have to ask directions?
I'm addressing not only the talking fly,
but anyone paying attention.
Okay.
You got basically three kinds of minds,
and more to the point,
three kinds of crazy.
Which account for all the people, in the world.
1.
2.
3.
that's right, you heard me.
3 kinds.
1.Lazy Crazy
2.Bad Crazy.
3.Good Crazy.
Lazy Crazy?
That's the most common,
practically everyone.
Everyone and anyone,
who tries not to rock the boat,
tries to fit in, tries to 'move with the herd' or 'think like the crowd' or whatnot.
The ones who do what they do because 'it's the thing to do!'
The lemmings in other words.
Yes, this refers to you're a bunch of scampering rodents
with no clue to speak of, each following the next,
sometimes right off a cliff. Haha, buh-bye now... whoossh look at 'em go.
I know. What a BITCH.
Then, there's 2.Bad Crazy....
well this is the second largest portion
of people on Planet Hell.
The ones who've got it 'all figured out'.
And whom do whatever they have to, whatever they have to,
to come out ahead, and leave everybody else in the dust, hopefully choking.
The ones who won't go out of their way to help you,
but might stop the car long enough to get out and kick you
and get back in and ride away with a fresh smile on.
So, already, you got, Two Kinds Of People
makin' up for nearly everybody in the fuckin' world.
The clueless sheep.
The fuckin' scumdog wolves.
Who else is left?
Group 3.
3. Good Crazy.
We are the Absolute NUTS in the equation.
When the going gets weird, the weird turn professional.
We're the ones, who could have been bad,
we just didn't like how it smelled. Pew.
We could have been clueless sheep
only we woke up with a clue so that one was out the fucking window.
WARNING: I'm saying Fuck here. Oh wait, couple more. Fuck and Fuck.
Also Fuck Monkeybutt.
Not really. Monkey probably rip yer damn fool dick off you try that.
So... just gettin' warmed up here to take the nation by talk show radio storm...
Mum's the woid.
Mum said the Three Mooseketeers.
We're not quite Three Stooges,
possibly three centrifuges.
But I'm getting ahead of the chronology here.
Nevermind that, you'll all know soon enough.
But what makes a Type 3?
Oh... Big Brass Balls. In other words Chutzpah like, oh, you wouldn't believe.
Intelligence, yeah that helps. Use it if ya got it.
A playful sense of 'this is boring, I think I'll liven things up a bit, what the hell'.
Also, if you're a Type 3,
the Type 2s really tend to annoy you.
And it may well be that if you're a Type 2,
the Type 3s really definitely annoy the crap out of you.
But you're a goddamned Type 2,
basically the thing that's wrong with everything,
so die die die die die die die.
This was written by a Type 3, predictably enough.
Death to Type 2.
Rah Rah Rah.
Pizza Is Great.
This one is! God Made It!
Yum.
So....
People pleasing?
Okay THAT is a fickle gig nowadays.
You're talkin' about impossibility there.
I mean, come on.
We're all semi smart here, right?
Idiots don't even come here, because their brains'll fall out.
Soupy warned that might happen, he did, I heard him say it.
How can you please a bunch of idiots
who don't themselves have a clue of how to be happy?
It's harder than it looks.
And yet, easier than you might imagine.
I may even explain that one,
if I feel grand poobah big whooteedoo asshole enough to try.
So far, no. I don't.
So guess. hahahahah
Hint:
"new normals" get arrived at.
You learn to love being miserable as shite.
How? It's the thing you can trust. Ohhhhh.
See? What's not to love?
You wanna do good? You're a Type 3, glad to have you aboard.
Here's your standard issue medal
from Our Lady Of The Lost Cause,
your slap on the back, here ya go, *slap*,
and Get Going Joe and Good Luck.
This broadcast originally had twenty rainbow colored panda bears
dancing in a unison chorus line, but they were edited out for time.
Sorry bears. Very nice though. We'll try again next time.
Bad news for the bears, they are not happy.
Okay Bears, I told 'em about your dance, so they pictured it.
Reasons to be Cheerful. 1. 2. 3.

That was very cool ALJ. Thanks! Enjoyed reading that. I hope I am a type 3 but I am sure the 2's think I belong with them. Those fuck heads always get it wrong. May the ego's fall down and vanish in the fog. Let truth be multiplied by faith. The world will be better for this.
Much Respect!

wow this turned into a pretty good thread thanks to you 2. I was pretty sure it was going to take the oh, Fly is being cryptic again, or worse yet, somebody who thinks he knows what I'm talking about but doesn't.
There aren't many type 3s. Type 2s rule the world.

Oh fly your rolling now you got two whole comments. I'm guessing "the somebody who thinks he knows what I'm talking about but doesn't" is aimed at me.
Guess what a-hole I one of the very few people who actually does respond to your cryptic bs. Maybe you could I don't know try to be a straight shooter instead of taking pot shots around the corner?
Why don't you stop being a little bitch and just call it out. Try to be a man for a change instead of a little whore douche bag.
Oh golly gee does my venom make me type 2? Whoa is me I'll cry myself to sleep for a week.
If you don't like what I had to say you could delete my comments but no instead you throw them in my face.
Next time I'll let your pathetic attempt fall on deaf ears and your thread can die a slow painful death and roll off the page with no response at all because normally I'm one of the few that bothers talking to you but I wont bother you since I have no idea what I'm talking about anyway right old buddy fly?
Holy Mary mother of GOD people are never happy give them a dollar they wanted six sorry fly the levy is dry I got nothing more for you.

Ken I am flabbergasted by your post. My thread had zero to do with you. Even moreso I don't even recognize anything you're talking about.
I think you need to cut yourself some slack, the world is not out to get you. I know people the world is out to get and this is not you.

Leave Ken alone, Fly. You are usually so unresponsive to his posts, it's no wonder he thought that was directed at him. Why talk about stuff that has nothing to do with anything here, in the first place? It's tedious, it's like talking to yourself except it's not that interesting.

There is so much misunderstanding and mistrust in the world. I am always pleased when common ground is discovered - I think we can all agree with Leslie's assertion that fucking monkey butt = bad. If we all internalize this truth mankind can take one step towards becoming truly civilized.
Fly I think your life is too complicated.

Fly, you are boring as hell, yet nobody will kill you, I am boring too (as hell, to be precise). You have my blessing and I love you bro.
Nobody screws around with Ken though. The only reason why I am on this site is to ensure that really cool musicians still have a fair chance to be heard, not that I am to eager to be heard.
Ken's sound is cool. He represents IMP as does Richard, Chandra, Silverwood Studio and many others.
American Lesley Jane you just made my day. I really enjoy your creativity. Well Johann Giel is alive, and so is John Lennon, thanks to you. Thanks man, I really appreciate your comments.
Needless to say I miss both very much.

My apologies fly. I did think your comment one who thinks he knows what he is talking about that but does not was aimed at me since I'm one of the few who does respond and I thought you were referring to my response in previous threads with that comment.
It seems I made myself a self fulfilling prophesy and became to one who does not know what he is talking about in this thread.
I screwed up, I misunderstood, I looked for a meaning that was not there. I guess As you say I am so used to being rejected I don't really expect much else and when I do get the opposite I'm not really sure what to do with it because its like a foreign language to me.
Thanks for the support and standing by my side Em and Russ Roman. In this case I was wrong and for all my faults I can and will admit when I am wrong.
Despite what others say your posts are interesting to me. Keep on doing what it is that you do and for those that don't understand you well maybe its better for them not too.
Again sorry Fly for my misunderstanding.
Peace,
Two Silo Complex,
Ken

No Ken, actually you're only Type 2 by that scale
if being 'Bad Crazy' is making you a decent living. Is it?
Type 3 often never sees any money for it.
Type 1, just do what they can.
You sound like either 1 or 3...
you may be 1, only you tend to think, so maybe not.
You may be 3, but don't want anyone to know,
so you act like a prick, this in and of itself does not make you a prick.
But, I can give you the benefit of the doubt, if you say you're a prick,
perhaps I'll believe you.
Are you a prick?
Or simply a Complete Dick?
No wonder you got so upset when you found out they were me.
What? LESLEY?? IS... The Complete Dicks??
Yes, All Of Them.
Let's just lay all that on my doorstep.
Be nice to fly.
Or are you not that guy?
The one of which they say,
"he wouldn't hurt a fly"....
you want it to be like,
"Nah, not this guy, this guy tries to hurt the fly"
Don't hurt the fly unless he flies at your food,
then all bets are off of course.
Be good.
And if you can't be good,
be fuckin' accurate.
Or be what you want, what the fuck do I care?

ALJ,
I’ll answer your questions this time because it amuses me to do so
You said “you're only Type 2 by that scale if being 'Bad Crazy' is making you a decent living. Is it?”
Well I make a decent living but not from being a bad guy but because I put years if work into making a career for myself. I make nothing from music. I worked my way up and now my experience in my field talks for me. Business people tend to perk up when you have as much experience as I do in certain areas. So yes I make a living because I work for it and for no other reason.
“Are you a prick?”
Sometimes I can be other times I’m not same as just about anyone else.
Or simply a Complete Dick?
Sometimes I can be other times I’m not same as just about anyone else.
“Be nice to fly.”
I did apologize for my misunderstanding and have tried in my own way to help him at times when I thought I could.
“what the fuck do I care?”
I won’t even chance to guess the answer to that because I’m not even sure if you know the answer yourself.
Two Silo Complex,
Ken

Hey now--we are all creatives here, that's rare in todays' Accountants' world !!!
Yes, that is a fact--- creative accounting is to blame for a shitload of todays misery.
So my good fiends lets share the thought, that we have a big job to do--together
Changing the direction of society, with well aimed barbs of music, or prose or even bullshit---that's why I like Kens and Marcus's and Flys output we are in this together, with American Lesley Janes commentary keeping us smiling when we fuck up

I love the pipeline, because I love to hear from you. Rob, Ken,The vibe I get is even bigger than music or fame but personalities which are beyond anybody could strive for. I am proud to be your friend, and I did not even fix my guitar. but I will because of you. Lindsey and Tom are getting anxiety, well I wished...best joke ever

Well Ken, you're right, I have no idea why I give a fuck,
and therefore, I'm not entirely sure any longer that I even do.
But I'm curious now that you pique my interest.
This career at which you have experience
that makes businessmen shudder and the lowly mutter
(or is that the other way around?, don't answer that, it's facetious!)
what is it you do exactly?
Also, I'm a bit curious
why you always sign your posts exactly the same way each time,
"Two Silo Complex,
Ken"
Is that an automated signature generator?
Or do you think we all forget what your band name is?
I suppose I could write,
American Lesley Jane
BEATLESEX
The Complete Dicks
ELVIS LESLEY
~L
But that's a bit long, and it isn't even all of 'em.
I get it with the signature, it's called 'branding',
get your name everywhere, it's self explanatory.
I'm curious though.
What do you do?
For a living, I mean. If you don't mind saying,
and if you do, well then don't.
I just heard a brag in there, whatever it is you've been doing it a while.
I wondered what.

well its getting a bit off topic. What I "do" is really none of your business but I see no harm in it. That being said its kind of difficult to explain to someone that ins not in the field that I am but I will try.
I do technical support for custom in-house propriety software. The last job before this on was supporting over 12 different products for consumer packaged goods (what you can buy at the grocery store. Soup, ketchup, anything sold in major grocery chains). The software is for business analyst to look for marketing trends to see how historical promotions worked or did not work and make predictions based on those trends and develop marketing pricing. What I do now is similar just a different product line and only one line of software.
Now most people don't stay in support very long its a frustrating job trying to help someone who doe's not always give you all the information you need to solve the issue they are having. So I got very good at asking the right questions and data mining them to get at the real issue. At one point in time I managed a group of 8 other tech support people. That position was beyond frustrating so now I'm back at support. Since normally people don't tend to stay in this field but I have for a long time when people see my years of experience they are interested in my skills.
I would say that over 14 years in one career path and promotions at times when others were overlooked do to budgets but management wanted to make sure I was happy is usually a pretty good indicator.
As why I sign the way I do I never put much thought into it its just they way I always did it. Its no auto signature. I have to type it but I could copy and paste but its not really worth the effort.
Two Silo Complex,
Ken

Yeah, the guy I work for is an asshole, too. It's me. :)
And my signature on another forum is
"Their expectations will meet with vacuity"
That's a quote from a semi famous guy. I believe it's appropriate. Mostly.
Lyin Dan,
You can call me Asshole

Also, yeah, hardly anyone stays in support for ANY software/system for long. People in general, as per technical stuff, are fucking stupid. Not ignorant. Stupid. Most people who know something can't stand it for long.
Are you numb?

Well Dan,
I said it was hard to explain. Most people think of support is talking to the average half wit who can't figure out how to turn on the monitor. That is not what I do and If I did I would not be in support very long. The kind of support I do is for specific software and its functions. The people are business analysts or in my current position they are the actual IT for the business not the end users.
Eventually all software has some error or some one has a question about a specific function. I deal with those high end type of issues not the average user.
The fact is I've done it so long I really am not qualified for or know how to do anything else that would pay the bills. It is because my area of support is specialized and not everyone can do it that it pays the bills.
I also do end user testing so before the software is released to the customer. To be sure that the latest code is tested to make sure whatever new features or bug fixes did not break anything.
Its why when people ask me what I do its hard to answer because most people think of IT as one thing but I am not in that area at all.
Two Silo Complex,
Ken
