Wanted...One Photog

You know, I once had my own personal photog

I forget his name

but we were aquantances for about 18 years

and he became my own personal papparazi for the past six years

well last year I had to let him go

and I was looking through the old pics and realize that all of these are ...well...old

I need a new photog

no experience necessary

it's on the job training

I promise you

I'm the only one that gets hurt

mostly

and I also promise

you'll love the work environment

The Hole

I like cartoons

no, I love cartoons

I especially love old cartoons

I have quite a few random vintage cartoon dvds

most are just cheap ones from Walmart

there are some real gems on there

like this one

it's a 1962 short animation by John Hubley and Faith Hubley that won an Academy Award for Short Subjects (Cartoons) in 1962.


The film uses improvised dialogue from Dizzy Gillespie and George Mathews as a pair of construction workers.

man, I love this short

I Got Your Message God, But It Was In Spanish

before I get into this one, I have a couple of notes

I took a huge hit on readers by removing myself from facebook

but I'm just gonna keep truckin'

greetings to Serbia by the way

and these posts are even more frequent

I guess now, this is my only outlet

anywho...

so, the day after I quit my job

I bought a drink at the 7-eleven

so, now I'm kicking back in my truck

which, I'm fond to do by the way

so I'm leaning against the arm rest on the inside

and my feet are propped up and out of the driver's window

and I'm re-evaluating my life

I'm thinking, "now what kind of predicament have I gotten myself into?" "I drink too much, when am I gonna stop drinking so much." "Am I gonna be like my dad and drink until I make myself sick?" "Why do I keep starting over in my life?" "It's a good thing I'm divorced." "I don't want to work in television anymore." "I need to grow up, get my life in order."

just then a little frail old lady comes walking up to my window

I could only see the top of her head next to my feet out the window

so I sit up and say hello

she greets me in Spanish

she then hands me a pamphlet

says goodbye in Spanish and just slowly walks away

it's a pamphlet about God

I look it over

but I can't read it because it's in Spanish

obviously, the timing was amazing

and I'm not saying that I would have made any major changes with just one pamphlet

but in that present state I was a little vunerable

but I didn't get the full effect cause I couldn't read it

so I just tossed it aside and finished my soda

whew

that was a close one

maybe next time, God

Nothing is All I Have, and You're Welcome To it

So without getting philosophical let's just jump right into this one

so I've been unemployed since the end of March

and naturally I've gone through all of my resources

sure things have been tight

and I've gone to bed more than a few nights hungry

I'll live

besides, sometimes I forget to eat anyway

but I still have a roof over my head and family here in Austin that check in on me

so I hear that my most interesting connection, The Swagger got himself into a little pinch up north

he was without car and home

He found a way to Austin and I told him he could stay with me as usual

I also drove him around town

then I found out an old friend, a guy I call Beautiful Bobby was in a bit of a pinch

Bobby was the guy that coined the nickname The Big V

anyway, he was without housing so I opened my doors to him

so picture this

Beautiful Bobby on the couch and me and Swagger in the bed

I got tired of the macho shit and got tired of sleeping on the floor

we're all broke

anyway I give my food, my bed, my house,

it ain't much but it's all I got

well, we're all a little hungry and not quite at our best

but, we're singing, drinking, laughing, and surviving

to me that sounds like good times

it's easy to be you're best when you're at your best

these are days I look back on fondly

so I say to them

take it all

The Facebook Blog

So, I quit facebook

this was after  I wrote a little rant about my frustrations about facebook

granted, it was a drunken rant

and at the end of it I stated I would deactivate my account

I passed out and when I woke up I read what I had wrote and then I deactivated my account

sober Vince honored what drunk Vince wrote

so allow me to elaborate why I left facebook

facebook is goddamn depressing

while I understand that this is all the rage to be connected socially with technology

I don't think you need to know what your friends and family are having for dinner

or where they're at in the world

"Jenny checked in at Walgreens

Eating chili mac, I haven't had this since I was 13"

so I meant what I wrote and I did something about it

I'm out

even if it means I took a step backwards from the rest of the masses

it doesn't look like much progress is being made over there anyway

if you want to quote me how's this?

Greatness is not something that every man or woman possesses

however, the potential for greatness is something that is inherently inside us all

we are all geniuses

some do not recognize it

some do not want it

and most do not nurture it

now if you'll excuse me I have to go check in at the restroom cause I  have to take a shit
