Things I Think I Think

Here's the latest list of Things I think I think. Whether they are wisdom and wit, or nonsense and sh*t is up to you.

Yes, they should ban all cellphone use while driving. Right after they ban all "put on the makeup especially eye liner" while driving. The time I came closest to getting run over by a car when I was in the crosswalk was when the driver was putting on her eyeliner, her eyes so close to the rear view mirror that I am sure that her nose was touching it. While they're making up a list, add drinking coffee and eating breakfast.

A photographer was critized by a model for promoting the work that they had done together. All it told me was that, once again, we had a model who doesn't understand the business. Photographer pays the model, taking the financial risk, even hoping that she becomes more popular than the average model. Most models don't, so it's tough to recoup the money. When the model does, however, it's the 1 in 50 times where the photographer may get a decent return on his investment. And then, of course, be criticized by the model. Yet I don't hear that criticism when a model is starting out and making a good bit of coin from the photographer.

The flip side is those photographers who tell each and every model that the business could not succeed without them. Yes, that's true. But it's just as true that the business could not succeed - or even exist - without the photographer/rigger/website. But not for that, msome of the models would be working for significantly less money at Hooters, or even learning the phrase "would you like fries with that burger, sir?". Both need each other, but that is, regretably, often forgotten.

I continue to be glad that the election is over. But I continue to hear the phrases "it's a fact that...", "listen", and others. Talkiong heads will always be talking heads; I have come to the conclusion that there's a reason why only their head is shown. With those bloated egos not much else would be able to fit on the television screen.

There's an axiom that goes something like this: The most important part of being an elected official/politician is sincerity. And once you learn how to fake that, you'll be okay. I think the same thing applies on the Net. The most important part of running a website is sincerity. Don't tell folks that you update three times a week when you actually update only once every three weeks. Don't show sample videos in one format but not have them available to members in that same format. For instance, don't have the sample vids available in .wmv but only have the actual videos available in an odd ball "no one else uses it" format. Yep, had that happened to me recently. I won
t post the name of of the website; they've got some very interesting looking videos but they're not a lot of good if members can't download and view them without .... well, without a lof of extran work. (Cue here for RD to step down from his soapbox ..... hehehehe)

Al Franken is saying that he has been elected to Congress. Thank you. I have long suspected that Congress is little more than a bunch of jokesters. Now I finally have the proof. Anyone political party intereted in having Chevy Chase as their candidate in the next round of elections?

I must be getting old. I am coming across more and more models who don't remember the 80s (let alone the 70s or the 60s). Maybe because they were either very young or simply in the process of being born. Whieh makes it tough to talk about those "great" television shows and their themes from back in the 80s.

I know I am getting old. Yes, I have gotten used to some of the new technology, such as cellphones and I find them to be very convenient if "managed" properly. Text messages? Considering that I am all thumbs and that I am using a keyborad little more than the size of a business card,, it's not the easiest thing to do. But a couple of generations behind me? Text messaging is indespensible. For instance, my niece last month sent and received more thatn 24,000 text messages. On average, that's more than 750 text messages a day. Which makes me wonder if that genration is going to develop thumbs the size of bananas as they grown older.

What I am sure of is that life is still good. The last several months I have been close enough to be sure that I have felt the breath of the grim reaper on the back of my neck. Yet somehow I have survived (insert here "that song" by Gloria Gaynor...lol). There's at least one upside about going through that; you really do learn who your friends are, the folks who give a whit about whether you survive or not. And that's always a good thing. I have said this before, I will repeat it again here for those of you who somehow managed to escape it the first time: I have lots of business assocites in this biz, but little more than a handlful who I would call friend. And, at least IMHO, I like it that way.

I'm only stopping ere .... because it seems like a good place to stop. Got lots of damsels. And to paraphrase the line from Jaws ... we've got to get more rope! Hehehe
