How far VJ ego can go???

[vjrei]

"I will kill myself so all of you can pray to me when you are in trouble or before your gig".

I was just thinking in VJ ego and how egocentric some one can be, any ideas?

[unjulation]

1) It might make a decent visual, but of course you will have to die a spectacular and memorable death. :fridge: :club:

2) I don't think suicides are allowed to become saints, but maybe we see when it happens?

Oh, yeah, and then "I" would have to be canonized and stuff but between the VJ community I do not think that would be necessary.

The idea came to me when I was connecting all the equipment in a club and just the day before the opening the 16/16 Comprenhensive Kramer router didn't start up! it came broken. So... you can imagine the picture, I had 12 screens to feed and no way to replace the unit and I was responsible for the set up.

Then I though: is there a VJ santity I can pray to???? A Saint of all the VJs????

Of course after reading about some characters in this forum it came to my mind that some one could be so egocentric that could sacrify him/her self just to become this omnipotent entity and stuff.

What ever...:cool:

[deepvisual]

well, there are two patron saints of lighthouse keepers.
St Dunstan
St Venerius of Milan
maybe we could hijack one of those.
otherwise, St Timothy Leary.
without him there would be no club visuals.

[cat]

Or Ken Kesey, the pranksters were into projections and raving while Leary was still getting his Guru kicks....

By the way in my experience of Kramer matrixes, if they dont work, have a look inside and see if the ribbon cables come off the front plate, I had a mare with one the forst time I used, rs232 was working but the panel didnt, an hour later I popped the lid, and got it working in 5 minutes.

Also just found out apparently the Archangel Gabriel is the patron saint of Broadcasters. (wtf??!!)

With 12 screens to feed and no way of doing it i'd probably opt for St Jude - (lost causes) :D

[alangeering]

Angel Gabriel is chief messanger / broadcaster (amongst the angels).

Think of Gabriel as the primetime anchorman. He gets to deliver the really important news and gets his name recorded for doing it.*

[alangeering]

If you were catholic you'd have a few to chose from:

patron saints of artists:
Luke (http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=76)
Catherine of Bologna (http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=111)
Patron saints of druggists:
Cosmas and Damien (http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=471)

[kommy]

yeah, theres nothing like praying to demons to get your work done.
you better watch who you're praying to, this includes the blood thirsty god jehovah.

[alangeering]

well, if you pray to (with) rey and some miracle happens then be sure to get it confirmed and then you can have the RC church put him on a fast track to sainthood.

[deepvisual]

a Vj miracle?

that will be the client paying on time then...

or the DJ asking the VJ to take a bow...

According to Gustav Davidson ("From A Dictionary of Angels including the fallen angels")

Gabirel ("God is my strength") -- One of the 2 highest-ranking angels in Judeo-Christian and Mohammedan religous lore. He is the angel of annunciation, resurection, mercy, vengence, death, revelation. Apart from Michael, he is the only angel mentioned by name in the Old Tesatment -- unless we include among the Old Testaments the Book of Tobit, usually considered apocryphal, in which case Raphael, who appears there, becomes the 3rd-named angel in Scripture (but see Gustav Davidson's article "The Named Angels in Scripture" wherein no less than 7 angels are named). Gabriel presides over Paradise, and although he is the ruling prince of the 1st Heaven, he is said to sit on the left-hand side of God (whose dwelling is popularly believed to be the 7th Heaven, or the 10th Heaven). Mohammed claimed is was Gabriel (Jibril http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriel_(archangel) in Islamic) of the the "140 pairs of wings" who dictaded to him the Koran, sura by sura. To the Mohemmedans, Gabriel is the spirit of truth. In Jewish legend it was Gabriel who dealt death and destruction to the sinful cities of the plain (Sodom and Gommorah among them). And it is was Gabriel who, according to Talmud Sanhedrin 95b, smote Sennecherib's hosts "with a sharpened scythe which had been ready since Creation." Elsewhere in Talmud it is Gabriel who, it is said, prevented Queen Vashti from appearing naked before King Ahasuerus and his guests in order to bring about the election of Esther in her place. In Daniel 8, Daniel falls on his face before Gabriel to learn the meaning of the encounter bwtween the ram and the he-goat. The incedent ia pictured in a woodcut in the famous Cologne Bible. Cabalists identify Gabriel as "the man clothed in linen" (Exekiel 9, 10 ff.). In Daniel 10-11 this man clothed in linen is helped by Michael. In rabbinic literature, Gabriel is the prince of justice (Rf. Cordovero, Pal, Tree of Deborah, p56.) Origin in De Principilis I, 81, calls Gabriel the angel of war. Jerome equates Gabriel with Hamon (q.v). Accoring to Milton (Paradise Lost IV (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0484138/), 549) Gabriel is chief of the angelic gaurds placed over Paradise. As for the incident of the 3 holy men (Hamaniah, Mishael, Azariah) who were rescued from the furnace, it was Gabriel, according to Jewish legend, who performed this miracle. Other sources credit Michael. Gabriel is likewise identified as the man-God-angel who wrestled with Jacob at Peniel, although Micheal, Uriel, Metatron, Samael, and Chamuel have laso been out forward as "the dark antagonist." Rembrant did a canvas of the celebrated encounter. A mohammedan legend, growing out of the Koran, sara 20, 88, relates that when the dust from the hoofprints of Gabriel's horse was thrown into the mouth of the Golden Calf, the Calf at once became animated. Acorrding to the Encylclopaeida of Islam I, 502, Mohammed confused Gabriel the Holy Ghost -- a confusion understandable by virtue of the conflicting accounts of Mathew 1:20 and Luke 1:26 where, in the 1st instance, it is the Holy Ghost that begets Mary with Child and, in the 2nd instance, it is Gabriel who "came in unto her," and also then informs her that she "had found favor with the Lord" and "would conceive in her womb." In Bamberger's Fallen Angels, p. 109, quoting a Babylonian legend, Gabriel once fell into disgrace "for not obeying a command exactly as given, and remained for a while outside the heavenly Curtain (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114194/)."

enough bible class...

here, complete with stigmata. is my choice for the patron saint of VJs....

The truly devoted VJ exhibits spontaneous bleeding from both nostrils... the stigmata of St Robert Downey Jnr.

I'll be calling on him next time it all goes pete tong.

Praying isn't going to help.

Amen!

I know a very egotistical vj where Im based.

Shit he's virtually is a martyr the way he's been going on, but hey I just let them get on with it.
Maybe once they get their Saint hood Ill bow at their feet.

[synoptics]

Your ego can go as far as you want it to go, wether it be deserved or not.

[lowRes]

as far as an ego can go...
that just reminds me of a very known vj in my country who said in an interview that he invented vj'ing in this country....
:lol: :roll: :lol::roll: :lol::roll:
where does an ego ends and arrogance starts?!

[akira_k]

If not, we have REIROM (http://www.geoshock.com/interviews/interview_reirom/) who invented almost everything.=, like EFNet ;P

All wannabes

I experienced the real thing. Talked to it through IRC. Visited its poopy website.

You have no clue of the scope of what reirom REAAAALLY is.

All you can know now, is that he is "A SOLDIER OF JEEBUS".
That he "IS IN SICK"
and that he feels "MANY PAINS"

Memorable quotes ;D

Patron saint? It must be Saint Claire... just see this -

Toward the end of her life, when the was too ill to attend Mass, an image of the service would display on the wall of her cell; thus her patronage of television. She was ever the close friend and spiritual student of Francis, who apparently led her soul into the light.
Born
16 July 1194 at Assisi, Italy

compared to the egos of some performers, VJ's are a fairly reasonable group, I'd say...

[VJGern]

Its about being on stage jumping round like a nutter infront of thousends of people who love the music you do.

The best DJs dont have an EGO there in to it because they love the music

those DJs who do have egos have lost there passion for it and are more conserned with image

Peas and love
