Riffstorm, I just love the way your name implies all the topic trauma you create, you're great.

Riffstorm 01-22-2004 12:09 AM

Thanks gwen...it rubbed off of you!

gwen snyder 01-22-2004 12:18 AM

we must be on here at the same time! I have never been on here at the same time as anyuone...strange. You are a delight. Sex is the only thing we hear of in our sad world anymore. I wish other more valuable and important issues could be valuable!?!?

Riffstorm 01-22-2004 12:19 AM

Gwen, i picture you as a mother that never stopped caring about anything, as well as a friend and a regular citizen in our great homeland!

gwen snyder 01-22-2004 12:24 AM

thank you Riffstorm, I picture you as a caring person who looks at things from an honest and unambiquous (SP?) perspective.

Good thing I'am not a car salesman anymore huh?

gwen snyder 01-22-2004 12:29 AM

yeah. You were a car salesman? That is scary, did you sell alot?

Riffstorm 01-22-2004 12:34 AM

Sure! I usually think from the seat of my pants and everyone I come in contact with tells me I should do stand-up. I give them a reply back and say...."I'am standing up...what the heck is wrong with you buddy!!. It really keeps people alert ya know.

gwen snyder 01-22-2004 12:40 AM

no seriously do you do stand-up? That would be too cool!

Riffstorm 01-22-2004 12:48 AM

most of all the real great comics like...lenny bruce(same h.s. as me), murphy,carlin,fox and pryor had either a very disfunctional family or had some types of tragedy in there lives. So, I believe that they and myself use those times in our lives to mend, and seek serious therapy threw the laughter of other people and especially an audience. It really works wonders on taking the pain away and it really helps other people who can relate to it in some sick and twisted way!

I dab a little with stand-up. I usually sell jokes....I get calls all the time from comedians that lost intrest with there material. My signature jokes are a story with a plot and a sledge hammer as a punchline.

Sex sells,But I wish it didn't. I hate to see young people believing that this is what being grown-up is. I'm totally repelled by most of today's so-called "talents". I liked C. Aguilera until she decided to go head to head with Spears. As most of you know,I've never liked "her" either. People can say she's beautiful but I've never liked female celebrities that basically "put out" for the camera,in any sense.

When I was a teen,I truly felt Hollywood was insulting my intelligence with thier making of "teen-sex" comedies. I knew those films were beyond stupid just from the commercials! I chose the more intelligent,"Breakfast Club" and almost as intelligent,"Fast Times At R. High". At least those actors made their characters human!
Keep faith though folks,like most things in Entertainment,the bottom has to drop out on this sometime! It's just the law of averages! Later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif
