the discovery channel needs to quit using the mtv model

“dirty jobs” marathons every damn night are as boring and futile as “real world vs. road rules challenge” marathons.

perhaps they’re just looking to capture the attention of the mindless-types for their advertisers on their flagship channel, if so they’re doing right by all involved.

fuck it. i’m gonna watch the nova marathon on pbs, where they don’t have ads.

FUCK. they do have ads now. back to stealing books…because if you want other people to hear what it is you have to say and you think it’s important, you’re not doing it for the money. and if you are doing it for the money, your work telegraphs your plight over your desire to share. which is why i never bother to steal magazines or cookbooks, that shit is diffused and stupid. i’ll rob and ransack a publication about caramelizing onions and learn from it. and damn right i’ll teach that shit to others for fucking free at a cookout. it’s how i roll, it’s how i do my current job. and rest assured that i could just as easily and happily live deep in the woods with just a knife (good thing i know how to sharpen it! or make a new one if i lost it!).

advertising means nothing to me, i incorporate products based on their own merit and design properties as per their function and my benefit from including them in my workload. the correct and proper tools to execute the effect is carried out by usage and parameters and benchtesting while disregarding recommendations or any aforementioned aspects in leiu of one’s own specific utilizations thereof.

now excuse me while i go fill my zippo with “vm&p -varnish-maker’s and painter’s- naptha” ($9.99/half-gallon) instead of “zippo fluid” (same shit, but $2.99/half pint).
