So what did happen Jason? i vaguly cuaght on another thread that you lost your gig or summink, and then this email gets posted, what gives. Did i miss another thread somewhere with all the gory details?

Your right we've heard the other persons side, so can't we hear yours too?

As for professionalism I have to agree with Kyle its not the smoothest step to take (blur the email and names at least), and i dont think that everyone is jumping on the 'lets bag sketchy J'. in reality the situation is what You make of it. esp on these public forums.

So come on then if you want to share this mess with your fellow forumites spill it all. We'll support you dude.

Peace

LOL actually I was going more for teletubbies Akira. And your original post was just as hostile as can be...you were not asking for my side of the story, you said WTF, is this even legal? Akira, someday when you are older, perhaps you will look back through your forum posts and blush when you realize that you are full of hate and anger and everyone sees it. There are a choice few that I would consider as friends here at VJ forums and if they PM'd me like a real person and asked what was up I would definately confide if it was someone I felt comfortable talking to (like Holly).....even if I were to tell you the "gory details", Akira, you would do your best to publicly twist it so that I am the villain. So please, Akira, refer to my recent post in The Business Side under the thread "How's this for business?"
mmkay?

Wow.


You cant just expect everyone to come to you with open arms and praise you like you feel you deserve, especially by posting something like this without any explanation. I mean come on! What did you expect everyone to think right off the back? Everyones a "reactionary a-hole" when you pull somthing like this.
Even if I was someone close like your best friend I still wouldnt baby you like it seems your looking for. I'd have to give you a reality check by slappin you upside the head!

Dont let the drugs get to you man. Control yo self.

Think you find thats bollox. Most people welcomed you here, other just put up with you coz thats what people do.

You remind me of how bart imagines himself when he becomes a rockstar.

Sketch, you're attacking the wrong people. Akira is (I'm not trying to put words in his mouth) pretty much assuming what we ALL are assuming given the information....

If you read any back posts on bad-job situations there is always a way to say what happened, and another way to just flame and be pissy and angry -- the first might earn some sympathy, but doing this makes you look bad, and everyone is reading the reasonably-toned email from your sister-in-law(?!) and then reading your attacks on Kyle and Akira.... It's pretty obvious who we think is in the right. At the very least you are wrong here, and we can make the leap that you handled getting fired (or not getting hired?) with the same amount of charm.

Save the drama for the stage! This isn't helping you or your VJ career. If you want the dude in the mask to be able to say and show whatever he wants, then your going to have to keep Jason under control and professional. Split your personalities if that's what you have to do. You can't possibly hope to influence and manipulate others without self-control except in the most sloppy and damaging way!

Now everyone is assuming you have a drug problem because that is what YOU posted here! You can't blame anyone but yourself for that. If it's true then dry-out and stop causing your family so much grief. They are not there to give you their resources so you can break shit and look like a freak to their customers. You're trying to damage their reputation and livelihood! How is that helping them by VJing at their bar?! She is willing to believe it is a drug problem and that it can be solved -- That sounds pretty generous in my opinion.... I think it is something else, but that's none of my business so I won't comment except to say again EMAIL ME and I will be honest and straight with you. (Don't PM because I'm on the road and can't always be on the forums right now. Besides, PM has limited space and is useless for anything but short messages.)

Look, I cut off my family because they were fucked up and expected me to be fucked up too. I moved out and far away, and yeah it pissed my chance at college and made it really tough on me for years but I'm better for it now and never could have succeeded with them trying to keep me down. What I'm seeing here with you is a different situation. You are sticking around with student loans and trying to use your family (and extended family) as a resource for more job opportunities and experience, not to mention the occaisional shower.... Dude, you gotta either be a family member and contribute POSITIVE to the clan, or you gotta cut yourself loose and do what you gotta do, become who you wanna be. Can't keep your cake and eat it too. Difficult drama-artists aren't supported by their families, only mentally ill and drug addicts are.

If you're going to stay in a small town believe me you are going to need your family. If you are going to move out (for real) and become a fabulous discofreak then go to a real city and create real opportunities where there are clubs and a nice big freakscene for you to work your magic on. Find the crowd that wants you, is what I'm saying, because you can't turn family into fans.

My advice at this point: apologize to your sister-in-law. Offer to pay for the window even if you can't afford it (don't buy a single beer until it's done). Apologize to your brother, and apologize to your mother. Tell them you had some bad blows recently and tell them you are getting cleaned up but it's hard because of being in a financial hole. Then figure out the nearest big city and plan a date to move there and get your grown-up life started.
