Raven’s Log | Stardate: Whatever the date is.
Yeah yeah yeah, I know it’s late. Sure, it’s only been 3 months since the last journal entry, but better late than never … I think!?!
The winner of the Ms. Raven Effect contest is … First, I have to make a point. This was a monumental flop. You people are mad at me for not announcing a winner in forever, but, that’s what you get for not competing as aggressively as you should’ve. Here was the perfect opportunity for me to be a sleazy perv and ogle pictures of hot, preferably naked, women or, and the ‘or’ is important, to ogle women as more than just sex objects, but as intelligent creative visions of originality. You people chose to participate in much much smaller numbers and since you competed so poorly, I have put just as little effort in deciding the winner. Let me rephrase that, I picked the winner months ago, I decided to put as little effort as you did into letting you know who won. I decided to show as much or as little interest as I presumed that you gave it. So, nyah nyah nyah nyah. See, the ones who did the work were forced to suffer due to everyone else who didn’t do the work.
For every girl out there who thinks they know me, you really don’t. You get journal entries and the occasional interview but you don’t know me. You all believe I’m only fascinated by hot naked women (who wouldn’t be) but, without intelligence, creativity and humor, I am only stimulated for the very short term. And that is why envy’s piece was so fantastic and why she’s one of the co-winners. For anyone who hasn’t read it, Vic will provide a link. My other co-winner, Cangothuk, sent the most amazing original photos that showed drama, art and tasteful nudity. I would show her pics if she’d let me, but somehow I believe they’re for my eyes only. Its amazing to me that all you people are so self conscious (actually that’s not that amazing). What is also amazing is your unbelievably snobbiness towards others who aren’t self conscious. Like they should be penalized for either not having baggage or rising above said baggage. This site should be populated by people who aren’t afraid to blaze their own path and who don’t care what others think. Yet, it seems the ones who don’t care what others think are always being shit on by those who say they are above that. Case in point, some people jumped all over my banging whores and the whores themselves. Why? If thats what I want to do and thats what they want to do, God bless ‘em. By calling these women ‘whores,’ I never specify if I just meant sluts or actual professionals (I meant sluts). But, if you are offended by that verbiage, when I never singled you out, then obviously I hit a nerve. As Sinnaya said, “If somebody felt offended when Raven called women that he is banging whores, then that means you are identifying yourself with that sort of woman. Nobody called you whores. If its bothering you so much, it means that you took it personally (I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings by this, but maybe) you have some points in common with them.” As Angry Chairr, goes on to defend whores as the backbone of government, “I’m ashamed any of you would want to disparage their good (albeit fake) names.” Hear hear! Evenflowed wrote, “Whores are the glue that hold together the gears of our society. And girlcreeture responded rather brilliantly “Really, I think the glue comes from somewhere else.” Ba-zing! Ultimately, (besides my last journal entry obviously being tongue and cheek) I have nothing but the utmost respect for women who sleep around. I use the word whores because that is the most descriptive term. If men can do it, why can’t women? They have the balls to do what they want, regardless of what society thinks or how badly it condemns them. I would be a hypocrite if I said its ok for men to sleep around and not women and I will never be a hypocrite. It shows a lot more sack to be a whore than to make fun of one because you’re too scared society will mock you for fulfilling your sexual needs. Of course, some women choose not to sleep around at all because they just don’t feel like it which is completely fine too and obviously this portion is not addressed to you.
Odds and Ends
A/V Club. Brotherhood of the Wolf DVD. Phenomenal. A great example of storytelling with drama, emotion, originality and Matrix-like highspots.
Someone for some reason sent me some pictures of our posters and I guess he was sending me only the hot ones or some of the hot ones or whatever. But I thought that skadi, mir8lle, girlcreeture, Fantastic Terror, Deathangel 557 and sidd tripp were super hot, now this is not an all inclusive list, this is just a bunch of random pictures somebody had sent me. I am amazed that none of you entered my contest. Or if you did, I can’t remember it. because the contest started so long ago. Also I would like to see sidd tripp’s holy grail movie.
For those upset at ECW Hardcore Homecoming that I didn’t stay longer for the Q and A, well, I’m sorry but if that’s not good enough, tough titties, because:
A) I came out after the last match and signed for an hour against the back wall.
B) Nobody told me there was a Q and A until that night during the show and that is when they were telling me that it was cancelled. This is how the conversation transpired.
Them: “Hey, the Q and A was cancelled”
Me: “What Q and A?”
Them: “The one after the show.”
Me: “So, I gotta do a Q and A?”
Them: “No, its cancelled.”
Me: “O O O-kay?”
C) I was exhausted, beat up, tired and had nothing left.
Some people were mad I wouldn’t take a photo with them. First of all, if I take a photo with one, I’d have to take one with everyone and that includes every moron who can’t or doesn’t know how to work their camera. That includes everyone who wants me to hold something or sign something in a particular marker color, not the marker color I have in my hand. It also includes everyone trying to squeeze in next to me when there is no room or table between us. Smaller show - no problem. That big a crowd, that many people wanting pictures - grow up. If I have a limited time, a chance to sign x amount of autographs or only take a small percentage of x amount of pictures, I would rather accommodate more people. Besides, I don’t even actually have to come out if I don’t want to. I do it for 2 reasons.
1) To sell stuff. Hey, I am trying to make a living here. And …
2) because I like seeing the joy it gives people.
But, have a little respect, people. What we do in the ring hurts. Its tiring,. Coupled with the travel, it’s exhausting and, bottom line, it is a job. I guarantee that if a couple of hundred people show up after your job ended and wanted you to sign autographs and take pictures, (even if you were making money) that it would get old real fucking quick. Also remember, I’m just a flawed human being like you, if not more flawed, so sorry if I show human emotions. Remember, there is a very good reason why I am still in therapy.
Working stiff rant: I hear the boys say all the time, ‘Ooh, let’s work stiff.’ What a bunch of marks. Anybody can hit somebody for real. There is no art in that. The art in this business is to make it look as real as possible without actually hurting the other guy. Although impressive that people can take punishment, there is not one iota of art to it. This is an artform. I love Rhino’s stuff: it looks stiff as hell, but doesn’t hurt a bit. That is what we should all aspire to.
Charlie Luciano, hang in there, I’m proud of you.
P.S. Eventually, I will give out the prizes for the Ms. Raven Effect contest, except it’s been so long I forgot what they are. Vic will remind me I’m sure and I will definitely get around to it sooner or later.
P.P.S. Sorry to anyone who hasn’t received their merchandise yet. We had a major backup and somebody got fired. So I want to give everyone a heads up. Any merchandise that hasn’t been sent out yet will be sent out soon. And expect on future orders a good 2 -3 months between ordering it and receiving it. I’m working on finding someone that will get it done in a shorter time, but well see how that goes.
P.P.P.S. Sorry I took so long to get this journal entry out, but I blame my ADD for it. I was gonna call it ADHD, but that takes too long.
