2023.03.25 18:15 Senior_Sense_8071 Wedding recap! $74k in LCOL, Cary, NC, 120 guests
Photos:
https://imgur.com/a/6EY5dRL Welcome dinner at Tribeca Tavern: (100 guests, budgeted $15k, spent $16.7k, FIL paid $13k) -we rented out a brew pub on St Patrick’s Day, so we knew the minimum would be high and budgeted accordingly. We told everyone to drink the top shelf liquor and actually came pretty close to hitting the minimum!
Venue rental, food, and open bar ($13k after tax and gratuity) —included plated dinner with choice of steak, chicken, salmon, or vegetarian option, multiple appetizer stations, and dessert display of cheesecake, bread pudding, brownies and ice cream
Attire ($3k) -this includes my dress which was actually my original wedding gown and so much more expensive than I would’ve spent ordinarily
Decor ($100) -this was all thrifted florals! I got all the materials at our local scrap exchange and put some arrangements together. I was super pleased with how they turned out and I’m planning to donate them right back to the store
Sound system ($100) -the restaurant didn’t have an AV system so we brought in a cheap speaker and mic
Photographer ($600) -this was a last minute addition and we ended up hiring the photographer from our proposal! He was chill and while we don’t expect super artsy photos, I’m sure they’ll document the day well. We contracted him for 2 hours but he stayed for 3, he didn’t charge us for the third so we just added his hourly rate to the tip to cover it
The Good: We had so much fun! I loved being able to chat with all our guests and spending more casual quality time with friends and family. The food came out great and everyone seemed to have a great time. The speeches were beautiful and it was so meaningful to have everyone there. We debated whether we should just do a rehearsal with people in the wedding party or out of town guests, but we just decided to invite everyone and go all out. No regrets on that!
The less good: -My husband’s brother has autism and was not prepared for the size of our welcome dinner. I’m not sure where the breakdown in communication happened, but he was not prepared for such a loud and crowded event and ended up having to leave almost immediately. That sucked because he can usually handle crowds and such if he’s properly prepared, so we should have communicated better with him. -my father in law had Covid the week before the wedding. This added a lot of stress to planning. He wore an n95 for the events and thus far no one has gotten sick, but it was a tough decision. My brother in law decided not to come to the rehearsal because of it, and was pressuring my sister not to give a speech because he didn’t want her anywhere near my husband’s dad. We ended up changing the speech order so my sister could go first and then leave the room, but my brother in law still wasn’t happy with this and it caused a lot of drama.
WEDDING DAY!! (Original budget: $50k, spent ~$53k, paid for almost entirely by my parents) -we wanted a garden-style wedding, but we also wanted a venue with an indoor ceremony option that we wouldn’t be disappointed to have to use. We ended up being able to have an outdoor ceremony (65 degrees in March!!). Unfortunately, our ceremony followed a cold snap so all the grass and greenery that usually naturally covers our venue was dead. Had we known in advance, we would have had the florist add greenery to the terrace, but oh well. It added a nice spooky forest vibe to contrast with our enchanted garden florals! We were very happy with the wedding overall.
Very All Inclusive Venue- Chandelier Event Venue, Cary, NC ($30k) -we went for a truly all inclusive venue both for the price and the convenience. The package included an open bar for 120, 2 passed apps (pork arancini and fried green tomato bites), a fruit and cheese display, 2 signature cocktails (we did a bourbon peach sweet tea and a strawberry basil vodka lemonade), a plated meal (salad and a choice of filet, shrimp risotto, vegetarian risotto, and a vegan meal), 8 hours of photography coverage, a day of planner, and a dj. The venue owners were absolute pros. The venue was relatively new, opened in late 2019 and obviously shut down for a while during Covid, but the owners had owned a catering company for years. The food was absolutely amazing and the owners and planner made sure there was tons of food set aside for us and time for us to eat it. The only thing we didn’t get to try was the fruit and cheese! We chose a venue that was a little more budget friendly in order to go all out on decor and florals; we decided we’d rather have the most lavish wedding our venue had ever had rather than a sparser wedding at a pricier venue

2023.03.25 18:13 LordArlo My first Diablo game. I can’t stop playing. I AM ADDICTED.
This is my first Diablo game so I’m playing without any expectations. All my life I thought this game was totally different than what I was met with. I’m your typical COD/Madden player and a few single player games. This game right here is doing something for me and I can’t put my finger on it but I love it lol. I’m on PS5 for anyone down to play when the full game releases PSN: DeadBoiVB

2023.03.25 18:12 YouJGaming Friede is the most intense fight I have ever had in any game I've ever played
Now, I beat her in 3 tries. This may make you wonder 'It cant have been that intense if it didn't even take you that long, right?'
Wrong.
I enter the boss for the first time, and there Friede is. I do a lot of damage to her so I instantly assume the fight has more than one phase, and I was correct.
She never killed me in her first phase, but the first time I have a hard time with her teleport and she manages to hit me with that multiple times, getting my estus down a bunch the first time.
Nevertheless, I kill her with a few estus left, and stay focused as I'm sure there's a second phase. There is. With Ariandel now in the picture I assume this phase will be a lot harder, but it ends up being the easiest.
Ariandel is a lot easier to hit and kill, so I just focus on him while also keeping an eye on Friede. I die with 1 estus due to paying too much attention to Friede and Ariandel smashing me with his massive bowl.
I enter the boss for the second time, and the first phase goes pretty crap, she's way more aggressive than last time and I just can't handle it well, so I lose more estus than last time.
After I kill Friede, the second phase comes, and I do better in this phase than last time. I don't pay much attention to Friede and just wail on Ariandel, causing Friede to hit me a couple of timed but it wasn't a big deal in my eyes because the boss was almost dead so I'd just finish it quickly.
Partly because of my intentional recklessness and allowing Friede to hit me just to wail on Ariandel, this is not the attempt where I beat the boss.
I manage to kill Ariandel and Friede, put my controller down and I audibly say 'Eyyyy, 2nd try, let's goo'. Then out of nowhere Friede runs at me and whacks me. I was very surprised at this lol and my face showed it a lot.
She's on crack in this phase and just unleashes flurry after flurry of attacks, leaving me running for my life and not hitting at all due to the risk of death. I knew I was gonna die so I just didn't attack and analysed her attack patterns until she inevitably killed me.
I enter the boss for the third time, and the first phase goes very smoothly, and I only lose a few estus, due to me having her attack patterns down and managing to dodge the teleport attack (I still don't even know how that attack works, I literally just spam rolled).
The second phase also goes smoothly, and I lose 2 estus. Friede did seem to be a bit less aggressive in this phase than list time, but she did still try to attack but I don't think I got hit by her once, she just made me dodge at the wrong time as I'd end up getting instantly hit by Ariandel's bowl.
After I shred Ariandel, the second phase ends and I run away from Friede's body. Because I'd been studying Friede's 3rd phase attacks the last time, I had a better time with dodging AND attacking.
However, she is very high on coke and even though I said I had a BETTER time dodging and attacking, I didn't say that it was good, either. I keep trying to dodge as well as I can but she is not having it.
I'm fighting for my damn life while she's laughing her ass off at me running away every 5 seconds. She ends up getting me to no estus and a bit more than half health, and I end up getting her to a few hits away from death.
I am tense af at this point, and I am taking NO CHANCES. When I finally see an opening to get the last couple of hits in, I run in and pray that she doesn't attack again. I start to wail on her and..
She does the ice attack on me, gives me frostbite leaving me one shot away from death, and the ice is about to shoot up. I am audibly saying 'NONONONO, PLEASE, PLEASE', begging for my life. JUST before the ice shot up, I finished her off. If I'd waited just a second or two longer, that ice would've been the end of me.
This is the most relieved I've ever been ever playing any game ever, and the same goes for the intensity of the fight, even if it only took me 3 tries. This is a wonderfully crafted boss and the intensity only added to that.
TL,DR: Friede is a good boss

2023.03.25 18:11 Little-Equipment-510 I (18f) am with a dangerous psychopath (24m) who won’t let me leave and I’m so scared
I’m with a psychopath and he won’t let me leave
I met this guy on a random chat app. We met a month ago and all of a sudden we are together . He lives in Spain and is 24, I live in England and I’m 18. He won’t let me go. He says he is intensively in love with me to the point where If I leave that is betrayal for wasting his time and he will ruin my life forever or murder me. His ex girlfriend took her life 7 months ago because when she left him for being too controlling, he sent all her nudes to every job she applied to, her friends and family. He has managed to track down all info about me and I’m so scared. He has my address, my college name, details about my siblings and parents, even where they work. He says if I ever betray him or leave him he will make me unemployable and plan to murder me in a way that he will get away with it. He doesn’t allow me to even speak to my teacher to ask for help because he is a male or my uncle because he classifies that as cheating. He tells me nobody loves me as much as him. When I don’t call him Master or I don’t answer within 10 mins on the phone he punishes me by making me cut myself with a knife, drink my urine or write 600 lines of a degrading sentence. If I refuse he threatens to send all my nudes to everyone and do what he did to his ex. I feel so depressed , I should have never gone on that app. He is planning to move to England in September when I start university and is going to carve his name on my chest to stop me from ever cheating and to show me owns me. I don’t want this, I’m so fucking sad and feel at hostage. I can’t wear what I want, do hairstyles or anything . I’ve never even met this guy in real life but knows every detail about me and every single member of my family. He brings up things in conversations about my family such as the school my sister went to when she was young . I just want to leave . I have cuts on myself because I don’t want my life to be ruined . I just need all the photos he has of me to be deleted, I don’t know what to do. When he’s angry he even wants me to cut myself to make him ‘happy’. Please help me

2023.03.25 18:02 magirific Certain Paladin/Dk spells that won't mouse over cast?
I've been playing this game for a very long time, I'm very familiar with macros and all the different conditions you can add to a macro to make it only work in certain conditions.
For the life of me I cannot figure out how to do a basic mouse over macro for blessing of sacrifice, lay on hands, and intercession/raise dead. I use Grid unit frames for my party frames but I tested mouse over macros even with basic blizzard ui and it still doesn't work.
I've even tried a macro to ONLY cast on mouse over, and this still didn't work. Normally my mouse over macros have a condition to prioritize mouse over, and if you're not mousing over someone, it will just cast on your target (or yourself if it's a healing spell)
Almost every single macro I've tried will not cast when I mouse over someone's unit frames, but it will mouse over cast if I physically move my mouse over their player models. This is obviously not ideal and I'm convinced there is something wrong with these specific spells.
Also yes I did enable the option in the default ui to enable mouse over spells

2023.03.25 18:01 QuietWeirdCurse Need some guidance from people who know… I’ve wanted out but I’m still in…I’m so confused by BPD bf.
I don’t know what else to do. It’s been 5 months. I’m trying to understand when he’s splitting and when he’s himself. His anxious attachment is just so out of control. It doesn’t help I’m avoidant and it triggers my ptsd when he doesn’t let me leave and cool off from a situation. If I’m upset there’s no me being able to cool off. He just follows my car. He won’t leave my car. He will show up to my house. He’s pulled a knife on me before saying to k*ll him if I leave him. I love him too. But my life has gotten worse since I’ve met him.
He then reels in my bad living situation and trauma to justify his hurtful behavior. He says he wants to help me with my things I have going on but it always ends up feeling I’m his therapist and I’m taking on his shit all the time and it’s sucking the life out of me. My therapist helps with me seeing his behavior and identifying symptoms but I’m still unable to exit out of this.
He needs to touch me at all costs especially when he’s anxious, and I’ll let him because I want to make him happy but it’s not good for me. I’ve been staying away from his parent’s house he’s living in but he convinces me to get hotels.
I feel I’m ripping my heart out everytime I explain to him I’m not happy and it’s a lot of my own life I need to work on and healing from so many abusive relationships (the past 2 were NPDs and all this BPD has triggered me into psychosis) then he won’t accept I feel I’m being stripped of my independence when he needs to be around me everyday and not process the BPD trauma that’s happened in the past months. (ideation and superficial cutting, and his parents lean on me to fix everything which I’ve stopped).
The start of the relationship he really lovebombed and then trauma dumped to the point where I would stay days at his house because I didn’t know he was BPD and took his suicide threats seriously. The parents are just smothering spoiling white TM who don’t really support him. It’s been an emotional roller coaster. It’s so much ptsd for me from my past relationships.
Yet he reels me in when he’s normal again, and I want us to work, because he sees me. But when the BPD happens I feel he knows nothing of me. He’s emotionally abusive. Hes making me trapped. I don’t know how to navigate this anymore. I spend no time with friends or anyone else since I’ve met Him. I deleted my social media because i though exposing him online would get him to leave me alone (he was following me again all over the city when I was trying to leave).
It just starts again with guilt trip and how it’s about my trauma. Everytime I’ve tried to break up with him or even just reason that we have some time apart he just goes fucking hard with the promises, manipulative behavior, not splitting for large amounts of time… but it’s always lingering.
It’s become that it’s my avoidant problem, which I do have. But he’s manipulating that with it being ok with not giving me any space or time on my own. That he’s worried and he needs to know I’m ok… even though he’s the one causing my distress. I don’t know what to do because I feel I’m so trapped in this situation. I don’t know if I can trust time with this. He wants me to move in with him and he knows how much I need that but a lot of the desperation is because of how much time I’ve put for him and none for me. He says it will be different living on our own together.
He’s going to therapy and I’ve seen a lot of improvement, but he’s very off and on about his BPD. But days like this happen where I finally realize how drained and dead I am and I can barely even hold a job when this person has been putting me through hell the past months and I just get depressed because I just love him but I’m not sure love is enough when I can’t even give it to myself anymore. How can I exit out of this the appropriate way without me needing to file an RO… I sometimes feel that’s the only way I can get the emotional abuse to stop when I’m this stressed but he’s proven to not take it seriously. Will going to a counselor help with me breaking it off? Or do I want to make it work? But I’ve tried. I don’t know anymore. Lost.

2023.03.25 17:59 Baticula How do I make the days seem different?
The only day that actually seems to matter is my work the rest is iffy. It's all the same each time. I hate it. Nothing feels different anymore. I know I should join a club or something but my college has nothing. I wanted to do rugby but im gonna wait till I'm on t to do that. I could cycle but the seat hurts my ass and my parents won't buy me a new one. My other option is that I wanted a bike trainer so I could exercise on it even if the weather is shit plus it'd be able to get used to the seat but they don't see it as a necessary purchase but like it's what I want for my birthday. But other than running and my one day a week at my exploiative job it all blends together. I'm just daydreaming away again. I wanna make it fun. I wish I was a kid again so then I didn't feel guilty about wanting to do stupid shit (I'm 16, 17 soon) and like lock down took away my teenage years so I just wanna scrounge on them last years of fun. Like just messing around outside but all my friends seem to be addicted to tiktok or live too far away. Idk how do I make myself feel alive again because I just feel like a dead husk as the weeks go by. I'm scared of growing up too. My parents say you work your life away but that's not a good way to spend it to me but they act like it's the only option. If these are the best days of my life should I just end it because this is already pretty damn bad and I don't wanna feel worse. This is mainly just a vent but still.

2023.03.25 17:59 gontafangirl2712 I wish I could force my friend to go to therapy
TW//Mentions of mental issues and self harm. Its not to much in detail though.
I (17F) have a friend (17M) that I have known for a year now. We are friends at distance (im in canada, he is in the United Kingdom) and I wish I could do more for him that I already do.
He as been struggling alot with mental health because of constant harassment from classmates. He as been hurt alot, verbally and physically, sometime indangering him aswell. Without any teachers helping. Its upsetting to see such a great friend is going throught so much.
Im helping him the best I can, letting him vent when he needs to and bring him support.
I've seen him grow and honestly I've been happy I did. He told me that if I didnt came into his life, he would have been dead by now.
Unfortunately, my help is not enought. He still going throught alot still. His breakdowns are not as intense, but he still have them from time to time and I have to heavily monitor him when he does.
Honestly I have no clue how to handle them correctly, I wish I knew but im no therapist. I want to force him to see one but doing that from what I've read, Is more harm them good.
But he desperately need it, I even am willing to spend the money on it. But he is deeply scared of hospitals, his parents are anti-vax and do not trust them. So he as been thought to not trust them aswell, he knows they are nothing to be worried about, he knows the anti-vax stuff is bullshit. But he is still afraid.
I wish I had a way to encourage him, I did many times, but I feel like its a lost cause. Its not like he didn't want to go, he knows he needs the help, he wants to be better. To have better memory and how to handle his breakdowns better.
I dont trust his parents, he doesn't trust them aswell. I dont know them much but I know they are very questionable to say the least. The other people that cares alot for him are often far away and he doesn't talk to them much.
Also is it wrong to keep things a secret from him. He as been cutting but he forgets every time he does it. So he thinks that he as been cut free for a while, I feel bad for not telling him the truth but I cant help it. He feels proud of himself for one thing. I dont want to make him sad. He would also forger about me saying that to him, so thats also a thing.
I wish I could help more and I think I need the advice to help him more in the future and to help me not having to worry so much.
Goodbye and thank you for reading.

2023.03.25 17:58 The0takuPotato I wrote a college essay on Technoblade. Here is it if y'all wanna read it.
I'm posting this now because college season is almost over and I really did not want to do this before the college released admissions. Also, I thought it was broad enough for me to not get doxxed.
ANYWAYS I have a college essay prompt where I could write about Techno; it is my favorite essay I wrote all season. So here it is (fun fact the essay word limit was 600 and I wrote 599 words):
The first time I truly understood what grief felt like was when I watched a video on YouTube titled “So long nerds”. After I heard the painstaking three words, I cried. I cried for someone that brought me joy at a time that I needed it most, made me laugh when I felt down, and gave me comfort through the stress I could not avoid. I cried for someone that brought joy to millions around the world with his humor. I cried for someone who left an unwavering legacy that shaped an entire community. Most of all, I cried because it was hard for me to accept the fact that a cornerstone of my childhood and a source of reassurance has left this world.
For the next few days, I reflected upon why I was so devastated by the loss of someone that didn’t even know who I was. It seemed utterly ridiculous to be attached to someone that society deemed I had no real connection with. I felt ashamed to talk about my sorrows and apologized to my parents for crying in the car after hearing the news.
Parasocial relationships are often given a negative connotation in the media. Growing up, I was taught that these relationships were often toxic or obsessive. I was never taught that they could bring feelings of joy and happiness or that they could help me through times when I was depressed and needed comfort or that they brought inspiration that motivated me when I needed it the most.
Seeing a community that put any differences that they had behind to grieve a legend none of them would ever forget made me understand just how wrong society was. Parasocial relationships can become toxic, but that doesn’t mean they started obsessively. His humor shaped mine, his videos gave me inspiration for creative projects, and his influence formed a community where I found a home. Defying society’s arbitrary standards helped me connect with myself more. I truly felt confident in what brings me happiness and pride in being part of such an amazing community.
I often joke with my friends that I only have three personality traits, watching him being one of them. For my entire high school experience, this community was a staple of entertainment, conversation, and relaxation. I felt happier because of a connection society deemed fake. Yet, for the longest time, I denied ever being a part of such a community because I feared how other people would react if they knew.
Spending over a year at home, I confided more in the friends that I made because of him. Hours would go by with endless talk about his video, making references to his videos, and enjoying the comfort that he brought in a time of anxiety and depression. I became more vocal about watching him, wore his merchandise in public, and posted related content on social media. I was able to connect more with this part of me that I had been denying because I thought society would reject me.
I truly was foolish to allow people’s arbitrary standards dictate my life. So I broke free. I stopped caring about what others thought and lived for myself. It didn't matter that I cried for someone who didn’t know me personally. The denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance that I went through were real. The understanding of how important this community was to me was real. The growth I went through to finally accept my true feelings was real. And I’d rather die than let anyone take that away from me again.

2023.03.25 17:53 WreckageHothHead Evaluating RLM's SW commentary, thread 1: logic of Deathstar interior, Bespin hell levels and "Theed power room"
In the context of evaluating critiques and video essays on movies, in general but in particular prominent ones on controversial productions, I thought what better place to start than Redlettermedia's SW commentary - examining one topic at a time probably, since that makes for a long enough post as it is.
Not sure how far I'll end up going, but here's "part one" I suppose:
Plinkett audio commentary: SW Ep4
But really, a space station the size of a small moon? And they just happened to get pulled into the exact hangar bay which is located right near all the things that they need to get to.
But they do get back to the Millennium Falcon on foot, right? Like right after when they rescue Princess Leia and get all showered up; so the prisoner room and the garbage dump that's like one floor below it - is like right near where the hangar bay is?
Same with all 7 power reactor control things that shut off power to the main tractor beam...
Why is this Death Star so big again?
Oh right, the giant space laser. Ah, whatever...
The Death Star is silly and nonsensical; each set is designed for the purpose of the movie's needs:
The prisoner cell block only has one way out; which is great by the way, in case a crazed prisoner escapes and corners a guard?
There are giant steel doors everywhere, that close to block off hallways - utterly pointless, except it's neat to have Han and Chewie jump through a door as it's closing while they're being chased by Stormtroopers.
"Open the blast doors! Open the blast doors!"
I guess they're blast doors...
What are they blasting against? [...]
I guess they're like watertight bulkhead doors? - like on the Titanic? You know, in case the Death Star hits an iceberg.
And then you got the extendable and retractable bridge over the cavernous pit; this serves no purpose? - unless we want a scene where Luke has to swing across the pit heroically with Leia.
And don't even get me started on the fact that there are no railings anywhere on any of the [?] walkways, that go above endless pits to nowhere...
It's all very stark, and abstract, and science-fictiony stuff.
I guess the Empire's so confident in its efficiency, that it doesn't need shit like safety railings - they've been accident free for over three years now!
Now you might be saying to yourself, well, I did complain about the Theed power room, right?
But I never really complained about the look of the Theed power room - or the fact that they didn't have no railings either!
And they have these silly rotating force field doors, that led to a little room with a pit in it for no reason...
It was like that little Keymaker guy from the Matrix sequels showed up - and he opened up the door to a completely different fucking world.
I guess George wanted them to have a fight scene on a Star Wars looking set, or something that looked like the Death Star kind of environment? - but he couldn't get them onto one storywise, so he just said that there would be one underneath this old quaint city.
You see we need some kind of connection to reality?, and as absurd as a planet-sized space station with a giant laser is - it's still much more believable than the fact that Naboo has a gigantic power generator under its city;
accessible through doors in some kind of hangar bay for some reason.
And it's like underneath the main palace? And not like a 100 miles away in the middle of nowhere.
It's like having a nuclear powerplant under the White House - not necessarily the greatest idea....
If I owned a nuclear powerplant, I'd probably go and touch the Uranium rods. I'd rub my face against them.. in hopes that I would get superpowers and be able to shoot laser out of my eyes... But I'd probably just get horrible cancer.
You know, I got something to admit - I got cancer once? But I was cured of it... Because you see, once the cancer cells saw what I did in my basement at night? - they all killed themselves. They said they didn't wanna bring their children into a world such as mine.
This of course being an expanded version of a point that touched briefs in the Ep1 review:
Plinkett: SW Ep1
Oh, and then they go from the palace to this room, what is this room? Is this in the palace??
I mean I know George wanted the Jedis to fight in a cool place that's really Star Warsy? - so.. so what this is like a power generator? What does it power, the Universe??
So you're expecting me to believe that the people that built this technological wonder were dying without space supplies for 2 days??
One additional plot hole I seem to have found here (at least haven't seen anyone else mention it) is that at the beginning of Ep1, the hangar with the ships quite certainly was not in the palace (the Queen's group looked like it had walked quite a distance away from the palace before the 2 Jedi freed them - and then Panaka's like "the hangar, this way" and next second they're at the hangar; no way they made the whole trip back to the palace during that cut?) - however at the end, they enter the palace via the hangar.
Either way this aside, while the comparison in that commentary section is accurate, the big problem here is that a much closer and more natural comparison to what happens here with the Theed hangar->"powerplant", is not the Death Star here, but rather the Bespin duel - and Plinkett doesn't make that obvious comparison anywhere.
As an environment, Bespin is a direct predecessor to mainly Coruscant (i.e. the exterior) as well as to a lesser extent the Naboo capital - its interior doesn't directly look like the Palace (if anything that one's much more comparable to the Yavin throne room), however it's an exotic, idyllic and embellished, arguably "aristocratic" looking environment built right next to the hellish looking carbon freezing chamber, a junkyard featuring a conveyor belt leading into an inferno, and probably other industrial areas;
this in itself is not yet "unjustified" in any way - Cloud City is a "gas mining colony" after all, and as James Cameron is well aware, smoke-filled metallic industrial environments already have an inherent tendency to look like Hell on Earth and serve as a perfect setting for climactic showdowns against creepy villains and monsters.
However Han's group never visits Lando's moody looking industrial facilities before being taken there by Vader - so from their perspective, and the way it's conveyed in the movie (starting even with the room Threepio initially enters), these industrial and engine rooms represent the "evil underbelly" of Cloud City, hidden beneath and inbetween the picturesque city and the soothing bright hallways that serve as a "front" for this hidden truth;
even the gnome-like aliens first found by Chewie in that junkyard, and later seen participating in in the carbon freezing procedure, while literally just being industrial workers there, come off as malicious, almost demon-like creatures who're seemingly exclusively found in these grim underbelly rooms.
Then, even though it's reasonable to expect a city with a police force to feature prisons and detention centers, the one that Chewbacca gets locked in has an emphatically grim and evil look to it - a complete contrast to the public areas.
That's not what the Enterprise's detention cells look like?
Moments later, Han is strapped into a torture contraption, in a similar room with a dark red ceiling - one might assume the Empire brought the torture equipment with them, but really this place increasingly starts looking like an evil Imperial fortress rather than a benign, idyllic city built around some factories.
And if the initial scenes inside the freezing chamber didn't outright confirm that this place exists right "next" to the bright hallways, then certainly that's exactly how it turns out to be when Luke arrives and is lured into this trap - one moment he's in the white hallway, the next he enters a door and is pulled into the hell room with Vader.
Plinkett's "Keymaker from the Matrix" comparison becomes more and more applicable here - even though the believability isn't stretched as much yet, since why shouldn't there be quick and easy access to the industrial/engine rooms from the public hallways?
And the Empire just happens to be using this room, since Vader wants to use this otherwise normal industrial facility to freeze Luke so he doesn't try to escape during the trip to the Emperor... or something.
However as Luke starts following after Vader after pushing him off the platform, and walks through a creepy tunnel into what seems like a level of control rooms connected by darkly lit hallways, the place becomes hard to distinguish from some of the interiors of the Death Star - especially the Emperor's throne room from the 2nd one;
and then Luke is blown out a window that looks like a spider web (not quite unlike the one seen behind the Emperor's throne in the next film), into a vast, round bottomless pit with walls that look like the surface of the Death Star.
Sure - if that long shaft emerging from underneath the city and reaching down into the clouds (possibly connected to the "gas mining" somehow) were to be hollow inside, then it would look like a gaping bottomless pit - but why does its wall have to look like the Death Star's surface? And also evoke the bottomless pit that was surrounding the tractor beam controls for some reason?
So at this point, Luke and Vader have gotten from a smoky industrial facility that you would expect from an industrial city like this, to what looks indistinguishable from the interior of an evil Imperial station or fortress - even though these interiors have been here for years, way before the Empire arrived here a few days ago, and effectively made it into its temporary evil space station fortress;
they hardly could've revamped the design of all these rooms and chasms during the short time they've been staying here, to make them look like an Imperial base instead?
Really by all looks, these levels beneath the carbon freezing facility, as well as those "prison rooms" from before, look like this for no other reason than that the Bespin city functions as a honey-trap Imperial fortress in this film;
and as the duel starts protruding into the increasingly Deathstarish looking environment, it seems like dream logic starts completely taking over any pretenses the environment initially had of "making sense in-universe":
each set is designed for the purpose of the movie's needs:
What's happening on a small and not even anywhere as immediately noticeable scale in Ep4's Deathstar, is taking place on a much larger scale here - the environments are designed according to the needs of the film, as well as to reflect the meaning of what's happening in the story as well as the protagonist's mental state:
the "control room level" looks like an Imperial fortress because it's functioning as one here, and exists as a representation of the dark place (morally and mentally) Vader is trying to lure him into; and the claustrophobic hallways, spider window and gaping chasm reflect and intensify Luke's bleak states of mind during those respective moments - the unfamiliarity of the environment reflects the hidden knowledge that he's about to discover, the hallways and thin bridge intensify his "trapped in a deadly situation" situation, and hovering above a gaping pit into nothingness is seemingly how he feels about having learned what he just learned: that his entire aspiration to go after his father, and what his trusted mentors had been telling him, were all lies, and he seemingly has way to escape the "dark abyss" that Vader is trying to pull him in (ironically the literal dark abyss is what he jumps into to escape it - having changed into representing the preferable nature of death/uncertainty to what Vader is offering him).
So how does this all compare to the Ep1 counterpart?
You see we need some kind of connection to reality?, and as absurd as a planet-sized space station with a giant laser is - it's still much more believable than the fact that Naboo has a gigantic power generator under its city;
accessible through doors in some kind of hangar bay for some reason.
And it's like underneath the main palace? And not like a 100 miles away in the middle of nowhere.
It's like having a nuclear powerplant under the White House - not necessarily the greatest idea....
To get this one thing right out of the way out of the bat, there is no indication of those power beams or anything else in this place somehow being hazardous like the fissile radiant material in nuclear powerplants - so at least there's that.
However the believability is certainly stretched a lot farther here than anything in Bespin - for one, Theed is not a relatively small city built around an industrial function, it's just a regular royal capital; so unless the Naboo culture has some kind of "the kings are also the producers of goods" thing going on, this "power plant" being right in the palace building seems like a non-sequitur;
being next to the fighter jet hangar might make a slight bit more sense, but still not really at all - plus the hangar's in the palace now, unlike the start of the film.
Another big difference here is that the "powerplant" area is not just extending downwards into bottomless chasms, but also upwards towards the unseen ceiling - and one might ask oneself whether the buildings seen from outside were really high enough to contain that massive area, although the Palace (despite not being a skyscraper) just might.
And also while there's nothing inherently absurd about underground levels, or a round bottomless pit leading underground, the latter hadn't been set up by an exterior shot of the station, with the "bottomless pit" axis growing out of the flying saucer's lower half and reaching into the clouds/gas below (in what had been established as a "gas mining facility") - this time all that stuff is literally coming out of nowhere.
However ultimately what really doesn't make sense, analogously to the Bespin "control rooms levels" beneath the freezing chamber, is it looking like an evil Imperial fortress - Naboo isn't an evil fortress, so why would it have an evil looking interior like this?
However, a major difference here is that while the Empire had only occupied Bespin for a short while, was intent on leaving again (unless Lando refused to cooperate, that is), the Trade Federation has been here for quite a while longer - certainly in "film time" terms it takes up the length of the entire movie, even if the in-universe time that passes between the invasion and the return to Naboo might be ranging between a significantly long period to a few days) - and by all looks they were planning to stay and had some kind of huge sprawling plans in mind that involved the entire planet:
"Is the planet secure?"
"We have taken over the last pockets of primitive life forms - we are in complete control of the planet now."
"Good."
And in this movie, the Trade Federation is a proto-Empire of sorts - not only collaborating with the Sith and led by the literal future Emperor, they also seem to be a dystopian megacorporation of sorts, who've already (unofficially?) taken over significant Republic territory:
"You can't take Her Royal Highness there, the Hutts are gangsters! If they discovered her-"
"...It'd be no different than if we landed on a system controlled by the Federation; except that the Hutts aren't looking for her - which gives us the advantage."
"Your Highness - with your permission, we're heading for a remote planet called Tatooine; it's in a system far beyond the reach of the Trade Federation."
Their ships literally look like mini Death Stars (with Saturn rings around them, to make it slightly less obvious?), and their interior generally looks very Empirey as well.
So, compared to the idea that one might easily think of to try and ground the Bespin look in the universe, namely that "the Empire has started changing this place they're occupying into their evil fortress", such a notion certainly makes a lot more sense in the context of Ep1's plot.
Additionally this is somewhat supported by the visuals of Gunray riding around on a crab-throne while in a darkly lit looking Palace interior at night - even if only in this scene here:
"Your Queen is lost, your people are starving... and you, Governor, are going to die much sooner than your people, I'm afraid."
"This invasion will gain you nothing! We're a democracy - the people have decided!"
"Take him away."
"My troops are in position to begin searching the swamps for these rumoured underwater villages. They will not stay hidden for long."
This also conveys some kind of notion of "them remaking the place into their own", even if technically it's just a creepy looking robot chair and this scene (along with the later Sidious scene where they tell him they've taken over those primitive lifeforms) happens to take place at night.
Ultimately though, even if making more sense than Bespin by comparison, it's still a heavy stretch on rational world believability - and, of course, there's no direct hints at this actually having physically taken place there.
Similarly to ESB, this duel starts with the villain getting in the heroes' way as they're there for a different mission (having waited for them from behind a closed door as well), and at least partially showing signs of following a plan to lure them into increasingly dangerous environments:
Maul arbitrarily opens the gate to the space room and leads the fight there - then he backflips onto a bridge even further away from the hangar, and is subsequently seen stepping back from Qui-Gon all up until ending up in that corridor with the red force fields, and eventually the sealed room with the gaping pit:
where he immediately reveals to have been pretending to be retreating from Qui-Gon and turns around at him the moment the force fields reactivate again.
So, just like with Bespin, there's a surreal, dream logic element here that extends and reflects the literal premise of the villain luring the heroes into a trap - the environments he's leading them into look like an evil fortress, evoke power, awe and danger, and feature both claustrophobic small rooms/corridors to make the protagonists feel trapped, as well as gaping pits and chasms showing just how deep they can fall into uncertainty and death, in what's getting brewed up by the villains here;
and analogously to Luke in Cloud City, while the 2 Jedi aren't literally "surprised" by this environment hiding behind the door of a benign looking palace (which can be attributed to it either making sense to them in terms of how real-world logic, or their reduced lucidity), it's a place they haven't been showing seeing at any earlier point, and reflects the much vaster scope of what's going on here (i.e. the Sith plan to take over the world) that's hidden from them, is shrouded by secret, and that they're only going to proceed to uncover gradually.
"There is something else behind all this, your Highness - there's no logic in the Federation's move here. My feelings tell me they will destroy you."
Unlike ESB this isn't something that they learn the full truth of in an instant, without any direct hints preceding it - with the possible exception of this:
"I cannot teach him; the boy has no patience."
"He will learn patience."
"Much anger in him - like his father."
"Was I any different when you taught me?"
Effectively, or if explicitly going with a "dream logic" reading of these movies, according to which places, characters, circumstances and hidden schemes pop into the universe's existence the moment they're imagined by the author / enter the narrative, both these environments materialize inside these buildings out of nowhere to reflect and enhance the mental states of the protagonists, the villainous intents and schemes, and the meaning of what's happening in the story;
just like, albeit on a much smaller scale, all those Death Star parts only materialized in front of the heroes in order to give them new dangers and obstacles to overcome - incl. the garbage chute beneath a latticed hole right in the prison corridor, the monster that made itself known right as someone said "could be worse", and the walls that started closing in on them right after the monster disappears.
Then she shoots a vent on the floor and somehow knows that it's a garbage chute... HOW'D SHE KNOW THAT?
And why would a garbage chute be grated like that? Usually that's just like a air vent or somethin'...
It could've led to a dead end, where they all got stuck somewhere...
Or it coulda let straight to a garbage incinerator - nobody knows what that is? So their idea is to jump in it?..
I guess it's better than nothing? I guess you're fucked one way or the other...
But shit I wouldn't follow her in there, I'd surrender...
However, exclusively comparing these ANH examples to the Theed spaceroom without mentioning the much more similar Bespin spaceroom, amounts to a very incomplete comparison - and the accompanying conclusion that:
You see we need some kind of connection to reality?, and as absurd as a planet-sized space station with a giant laser is - it's still much more believable than the fact that Naboo has a gigantic power generator under its city;
and that this warrants "complaining" about:
Now you might be saying to yourself, well, I did complain about the Theed power room, right?
But I never really complained about the look of the Theed power room - or the fact that they didn't have no railings either!
leads to the question whether Plinkett/Mike/Rich/etc. are aware of Empire engaging in a very similar (in fact directly analogous) and comparable display of environment surrealism, with "the Keymaker opening a portal into an evil dimension", and stretching this "connection to reality" a whole lot further and more noticeably than those Death Star scenes (with the garbage chute itself standing out among them all, in turn);
This trash compactor scene is really a lot of fun;
but it always felt like a "give them something to do" kind of scene, in a movie where nearly every scene is motivated.
It's one of those "lowest point" kinda moments, where our heroes struggle against opposition - but it doesn't really serve an overall purpose in the storyline.
It's fun, and tense, and memorable, don't get me wrong - but from a story perspective it doesn't advance the plot too much...
The plot here being that the bad guys wanna blow up the Rebel base - and Han; Luke; Chewbacca; and the useless complaining woman need to stop them.
Having them tied up in the garbage compactor only to escape and go right back to where they were? - eh, it was a little unnecessary roadblock in this series of events.
; and how exactly this fits in with their high appraisal of that movie:
Plinkett: The Star Wars Awakens
He accomplished his task of creating a sci-fi film about the Hero’s Journey; and then had to live under the shadow of “The Empire Strikes Back” – one of the greatest films ever made for which he had the least to do with creatively;
he desperately needed Star Wars to be about something bigger and greater than just popcorn entertainment - so he went back to his classic literature book and his CliffsNotes to search for ideas.
Plinkett audio commentary: SW Ep1
So at this point as we're wrapping up, you're saying to yourself: "Why does this guy get so worked up over Star Wars - these are films for babies! They're just made for 5 year olds that like to play with toys."
Well - I don't find that entirely true; and I don't think that's all this could've been.
This is more about achieving greatness; and those that make excuses for greatness when it falls horribly short.
In "Empire Strikes Back", the filmmakers took the material from the 1st Star Wars, and brought it up to the next level.
They took a movie with robots, and a floating cloud city, and a rubber green puppet, and made it completely realistic and believable;
This ANH-ESB comparison and how the latter "took it to the next level" including on the "realism" front, seems to ignore how much it turned up the gears on the surrealism and dream logic when compared to those Death Star scenes - particularly in that very same "floating cloud city" mentioned in this quote.
it's a very dark movie that's brilliantly done in every aspect - filled with heavy emotion, stark realism, and beautiful visuals.
For a brief moment, "The Empire Strikes Back" showed us what could really be done with these movies and characters.
I think people have a hard time differentiating between movies that are made for children, - and movies that children can also enjoy.
If you're any age, "Empire" can speak to you on some level; "The Phantom Menace" caps out at about age 10 - unless you're a drooling fanboy that just loves lightsabers.
And saying that "The Phantom Menace" is really "just a film for children" - is code speak for it sucking.
Even if a reasonable comparison between these analogous sections of ESB and TPM would lead to the conclusion that the former is surrealist art kino while the latter is nonsense that disconnects you from reality; that the former is "one of the greatest films ever made" while the latter "sucks" (incl. at the example of this particular comparison) - they haven't yet made such a comparison or analysis, it's missing from their thesis;
and judging by them praising ESB and its floating cloud city as "starkly realistic", as well as leaving all of this out of their Death Star / Theed comparison, strongly suggests that they haven't ever thought of any these points, and are severely overestimating the amount of rational sense-making that EpV is built on.
For similar themes discussed by RLM, check out their Suspiria re:view (crazy dream logic inside the dance school),
as well the somewhat mixed commentary on the evil look of the Event Horizon (also re:view) and how there doesn't seem to be an in-universe justification for its gothic design prior to it falling into the hell dimension - since Sam Neill's character isn't some kinda "hell worshipper cultist" who would construct it in that fashion.
In that sense, the ship's look only reflects its role in the movie, and its nature after reemerging from the hell dimension, but since having been there didn't change its design, the issue is that it "makes no sense" for it to have been designed in this way;
however a very similar thing can be applied to the environments EpV climax, as explained above.

GALIONE! HOP IN!
GOOD START CONCENTRATING
IT IS AN INTRICATE COURSE OF ACTION BUT A SET OF SIMPLE TASKS
YOU GET OUT WHATEVER YOU DEDICATE YOUR ENERGIES INTO
THE FUN ELEMENTS OF DANGER FROM THE LIFE OF THE STREETS AND THE OPPOSITE SEX ARE ENTICING
MOST WON'T MAKE IT OUT FROM THOSE TWO TRAPS
THE STREETS AND THE OPPOSITE SEX CAN END YOUR FREEDOM
ECONOMIC FREEDOM, PHYSICAL FREEDOM, MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL FREEDOM, FREEDOM IS MULTI DIMENSIONAL
TOUCHY SUBJECT, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING
I'M NOT THINKING, YOU'RE THINKING, I'M EATING. AND HE'S GOING
YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO FULFILL YOUR DREAMS

WHAT DO YOU HOLD ON TO IN THE JUNGLE?
HOLD ON TO YOUR BALLS

HOLD ON TO YOUR CRAFT
HOLD ON TO YOUR TENACITY
THEN REMEMBER YOU'RE IN THE JUNGLE
THOSE WHO GET LOST IN THE JUNGLE LOOKING FOR DOLLARS THEY AND MAKING IT OUT ARE AT ODDS
IF WE SHOW THE VISION WE MADE A FILM
IF YOU DIDN'T CATCH THE POINT THEN WE MADE AN ENTERTAINING MOVIE
THE JOURNEY OF THE NERD IS SOMETIMES BORING, DULL AND NOT EXCITING TO AN OUTSIDER
TO SEE THE EXCITEMENT IS TO SEE THE VISION
EVERYONE AROUND THE NERD WILL NOT SEE THE VISION
HE IS THE NERD
HE WILL CREATE A NEW SOCIETAL STRUCTURE ONE DAY
HIS IDEAS WILL PROPEL MANKIND'S ADVANCEMENT
WHAT THE NERD DOES WITH HIS TIME WILL ECHO ALL THRU OUT ETERNITY
THIS WAS THE CAUSE FOR UNIVERSAL ISOLATION
WHAT'S THE DESTINY OF SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T ATTAIN THEIRS?
WHO WAS DESTINED TO BE A STREET FELLA IS THE QUESTION
SOMEONE WITH A GREATER PURPOSE BUT LOST FOCUS ALONG THE WAY
THEREFORE THE CRIMINAL NOW BECOMES OUR RESPONSIBILITY
THERE'S A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE AT HAND
THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CRIMINAL ARE EQUALLY INSANE
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CRIMINAL AND THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT?
THE CRIMINAL EVENTUALLY ENDS UP IN JAIL OR PRISON
NOW LOOK AT MY NERVE
WHO DOES THIS GUINEA PUNK THINK HE IS A NEGRO?
essere fuori dagli schemi – an unconventional person
avere una personalità forte – to have a strong personality
THE NERD LEARNS AT SOME POINT, THERE IS AN ECOSYSTEM BETWEEN THE NERDS AND THE STREET FELLAS
AT SOME POINT SOME STREET FELLAS SEE THE SAME BALANCE
THE STREET FELLAS WILL EVENTUALLY END UP IN SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS
IF THEY ALIGN WITH A NERD AND ENTER HIS WORLD INSTEAD OF DRAGGING THE NERD INTO THE STREETS THEY BOTH CAN SURVIVE
THE NERD WILL HAVE STORIES AT 30 OF THE STREET FELLAS WHO DIDN'T SURVIVE
IT WILL HURT THE NERD
THE NERD LIVED HIS OWN LIFE

WHO TRIES TO DRAG A NERD INTO THE STREET LIFE?
WHO TRIES TO DRAGE A STREET LIFER INTO THE NERDS WORLD?
WHOSE WORLD IS THE STREET LIFE?
THEY SAY THEY DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER
WHY DOES THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM TEACH YOU TO READ
YOUR BOSS IS GOING TO NEED A SLAVE WHO CAN READ LETTERS
WHY DOESN'T THE AMERICAN PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM TEACH FINANCIAL LITERACY
THEY TEACH LITERACY BARELY
THEY WANT YOU SMART ENOUGH TO TAKE THE ORDERS AND DUMB ENOUGH TO NOT QUESTION ANY OF THEM

FINANCIAL LEVERAGE
FINANCIAL CONVERSION
FREE MARGIN
TECHNICAL INDICATORS
THE DRUG GAME IS THE TRAP

IS THAT ALL THERE IS TO YOUR LIFE?
IF SO THEN IT IS A WRAP
IF YOU REFER TO FIAT CURRENCY AS MONEY AND NOT FIAT CURRENCY YOU MAY FAIL THE TEST IF TESTED
THERE IS A CHANCE YOU WON'T PASS ECONOMICS AND OR FINANCIAL LITERACY

THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO BE A NERD THEY WANT YOU TO BE CRIMINAL
THE NERD THINKS YOU CRIMINALS ARE CRAZY
CRAZY AND SUICIDAL
KAMIKAZE DIVER

THE STREET LIFE WILL END YOU BOY
THE DEVIL RUNS THE STREET TOO
A ROD THAT SPITS FIRE SOUNDS LIKE A RIFLE

THAT'S THE FINAL FILM
FOR NOW IT'S A PILOT
AN EXAMPLE
WE NEED FILMS SUCH AS THESE
THE NERD PAYS HIS 15 YEARS
FOR WHATEVER HE LOVES MOST
DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES AFTER TIME
THE STREET LIFE AND THE OPPOSITE SEX CLIP SOLDIERS
DO YOU DESERVE YOUR DESTINY?
WHAT WERE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP?
HOLLYWOOD SAID YOU HAVE TO OFF SOMEONE CLOSE
ARE YOU WILLING TO OFF YOURSELF?
DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH ART TO LIVE FOREVER IF YOU DIE TODAY?
WHATEVER THE NERDS PATH IS
HE FINDS IT
HE FOUND IT
IT FOUND HIM
THE PRINCE WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
WHAT THE NERDS PUT THEIR TIME INTO
WHILE IN THE HOOD
WILL BE IN THE STORY
THE 15 YEARS IS A CONTRAST
OF COURSE WE SHOW THE 15 YEARS OF DIFFERENT CRIMES
WE CAN GO THRU A LIST OF CRIMES
OBJECTIVELY
AND SPECULATE ON THE CRIMES COMMITTED IN 15 YEARS
SPECULATE ON THE TIMES YOU GET AWAY
SPECULATING ON THE TIMES YOU COULDN'T
WE HAVE TO GIVE THE CODE TO WALL STREET ON BOTH SIDES
HOLDING ASSETS AND TRADING ASSETS
GOD GAVE YOU A PLATFORM
YOU HAVE TO KNOCK THEM DEAD EVERY SINGLE TIME
WHEN THE FANTASY IS REALITY YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A ROUGH SPOT THAT GETS BRIGHTER FASTER MORE OFTEN

YOU HAVE TO GIVE YOUR WHOLE LIFE
HALF OF IT
HALF WAY THRU LIFE IF YOU GIVE T
HE 15 YEARS YOU'LL SEE IT
IT'S A DIFFERENT PERCEPTION
SUCCESS IS INEVITABLE
FEEL THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
I FELT THAT WAY FROM THE BEGINNING
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS STAY IN PRACTICE
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PRACTICE
CRIME IS THE REAL THING YOU CAN'T PRACTICE IT WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE
WE NEED A METAVERSE FOR CRIMINALS SO THEY CAN SEE HOW HORRIBLE THEY ARE
KEEP IT IN THE METAVERSE
IF YOU CHARGE FOR THE RESPAWN NOW EVERYONE IS A META VERSE MURDERER
2:39PM EST -

2023.03.25 17:48 Khantraszo Khan's Heart of the Zone : Chapter 11 : Mind Break
The firefight ensues as the figures pop out from cover and immediately fire upon Simone and Garik, who is still struggling to get a grip of the situation.
Simone pulls Garik back, and throws him into a corner as he deals with the unmistakable foe firing at them. A large group of 6 monolith fighters now run towards them in the old industrial halls of the underground laboratory of the brain scorcher. Retreating slowly, moving from cover to cover, trying to shake up the still shell-shocked Garik and fire back, Simone found himself in a terrible situation.
He looks towards Garik and yells at him “Hey, Freedom dumbfuck,” He grabs Garik’s Mp5 and smacks him with it “get to shooting”
Getting his bearings and hearing back, Garik got himself into gear and fired back, halting the push of the monolith and firing upon them with his weapon. He screams;
“Simone, Rotate around back! Find a way to flank them, I’ll hold them off” And with that said, Simone nodded his head and proceeded to holster his MP5 and jumped up some piping as Garik is in the fight of his life. Now in cover and loading his weapon, Garik notices his broken wrist mounted anomaly detector fizzling out. He almost reaches around to touch it but is reminded of the approaching monolith forces as a gauss rifle round cuts through the air just beside his head. The unmistakable sound of the gauss rifle could be heard echoing throughout the corridor and almost deafening those around the monolith marksman which fired it.
Garik notices that the shot does truly deafen those beside the shooter as they could not hear Simone crawling through the air ducts beside them.
He uses this to his advantage and lures out a shot from the marksman before chugging a grenade towards the group.
His theory was proven right as the grenade landed on their feet without them noticing before quickly turning into a mist of blood and guts.
The explosion as well rung the entire corridor, like being in a giant bell. Those who survived the blast were very disoriented and fell to the ground. Even Simone, in the vents came out of it vomiting, albeit trying to execute the wounded monolith fighters that lay disoriented after the blast.
“Fuck me Garik, that was ballsy of you,” Simone spoke as he finished wiping vomit from his mouth.
“WHAT?!!” Said Garik as he points at his bleeding ear.
Simone rolls his eyes but moves closer to tell Garik. “That was an excellent move there!” He shouted into Garik’s ear.
“Yeah thanks,” Garik casually says as he wipes the blood from the ear. “You know I heard you the first time, I just got a small cut above my ear, my hearing’s fine…”
Simone exclaimed “ So why did you pretend to be—”
“Cause I love hearing compliments” Garik smirks and continues “Anyway, more coming on, let’s go!”
With that said, the fighting continued in the underground laboratory, Garik and Simone try to move forward towards the exit as Private Pasha and Yana thin out the retreating monolithians massing outside its walls.
“Yana, cover me… I need to get up close.”
“Right on, let me get to the hangar and I can cover you from there.”
The two move forward into the Industrial yard of the building. Taking out any distracted monolithian or any resistance they face, Yara was finally able to get up the ledge and onto the Hangar to oversee most of the area.
“Well, you’re up there.now, you see anything?!” The Private screams through his radio
Peeking through her scope, Yana looks around the area, scanning for potential threats before responding
“Nope, nothin---” Her words were cut off as a bullet ricocheted on her scope and broke it.
Seeing Yana go down, Pasha quickly dives for cover, under the sandbags laying out beside the hangar.
“Yana--- Respond, you alright?”
Pulling small shards of glass from her skin, Yana throws a grenade below, landing on Pasha.
“2nd floor, roof crack, the asswipe shot through my scope, probably thought I died… I want you to throw that down to distract him.”
Yana now removes the broken-up scope from her weapon and cleans it off.
“Pasha, you still there?!” Yana speaks through the radio
“Yeah, waiting on your command”
Yana screams “now!”
With that said, Pasha throws out the grenade towards the general direction of the building and runs out. Shots whistle by his head as Pasha zigzags, running closer and distracting the sniper.
Without a moment of hesitation, Yana pops out of cover and takes the shot. Or at least she should have if her target was still alive.
Now, looking down the irons of her weapon, Yana sees several Chimeras walk out of the large hole the sniper was positioned in. One of the Chimeras, a large one held the sniper’s head in his teeth, crushed it and swallowed it whole.
In the eyes of Yana, everything froze as if time was at a standstill, “Pasha…” she whispered on her radio “Don’t panic but I think we’re boned.”
Hearing this, Pasha looked above him towards the sniper hole to find a Chimera looking towards Yana, saliva dripping down to Pasha.
He readied a machete in silence as the Chimera leaped to the first floor of the building, mere meters away from Pasha. Close enough to gut him in mere seconds yet, completely unaware of his presence.
Encroaching behind the Chimera, Pasha raises his arm, ready to strike the thick yet, weak vertebrae of the dangerous beast.
He slashes down on the beasts spine and neck as blood splattered out, the beast kicked and flailed but Pasha did not budge, almost like an epic of Greek heroes, Pasha continued to thrust the machete into it’s back as the Chimera struggle to fight back as it was paralyzed now from the neck down.
The beast let out death’s scream as it lie face down on the ground, unable to move and bleeding out with Pasha beside it, ready to make the final blow.
It breathed ever so slowly now, as the warm blood had covered it’s body, ready to strike the final blow, Pasha raises his machete high above his head.
Suddenly though, several more chimeras came rolling in. Hearing the roars of the dying Chimera, several others came down to investigate,
One swoops down from above him, landing beside Pasha, he stepped back, Then another one to his front, then another to his back. Slowly surrounding the Dutyer.
They hiss and growl at the Dutyer, preparing to strike, playing with their food.
Backed into a corner and unable to visibly fight 4 Chimeras, Pasha does the only thing a man could do in that situation. He throws a steak from inside his pack and offers it to the Chimeras, just as he hands off the steak to the Chimeras, a bullet quickly passes through it’s skull and sends it back to the afterlife.
“Run Pasha Run!” Yana screamed as her weapon ejected a fired casing from it’s chamber.
The remaining Chimeras howl and scatter, seemingly unwilling to fight.
The Dutyer, now running away sees this and is stumped. He slows down from a run to a jog, and just walks back to the now dead Chimeras.
“So… they just left?” He looks around the corner wiping the blood from his machete. “Just like that? Huh… it’s weird, those things never hunt in packs.. and yet”
“We don’t have time for this Pasha, let’s first get Garik and Simone before we go scientisty yeah?” Yana replies.
And so, the duo enter the underground facility to see that Garik and Simone have already dealt with the situation and are now at the end of looting the deceased monolith fighters.
“You know Sim, when looting monolith scum, you should really check inside the jackets” Garik states as he is picking off anomaly detectors of dead soldiers.
“Inside the—you mean like under their uniforms? Huh how come?” Simone replies as he now takes of the monolith vest.
“They usually carry body armor inside their uniforms to mitigate impact, and they’re usually in really good shape, sell them off easy”
At that moment, Private Pasha and Yana enter the room and their eyes immediately lock on to Simone.
“No Simone!!” Pasha screams out as Yana loads her rifle and points it at Simone.
She exclaims afterwards “Do it and you’re dead.
An awkward silence fills the room as the now confused Simone raises his hands up and backs away from the corpse.
Garik comes in and says “woah woah woah, come on I was just kidding.” He says jokingly.
Pasha smacks Garik on the side of the head and apologizes to Simone “Sorry about the scare Sir.”
Left in the dark about this topic, Simone asks what the big deal about the situation was.
Lighting a cigarette, Pasha goes for another round to smack Garik’s head and reply “Monolith troopers don’t eat, sleep, shit or piss…” Their suits keep all that inside the first layer or so of skin and they have several systems in place to seal up holes in their armors automatically which would be amazing to use…. But” He looks at Yana and she continues while somewhat gagging at the idea. “But--- hughhh,, but, when you open their coat, all the flavor comes out and… I’ll tell you, it will kill you on the inside”
“Garik here just wanted to play a practical joke with you, unfortunately, it would have probably scarred you for life and you may never forget the smell.”
Garik laughs at this but does apologize and leave the laboratory after looting.
As they exit the brain scorcher labs, an emission quickly brews and clouds thicken with acid rain and thunder.
“Alright, inside the hole we go” Pasha yells as the team slowly walk back to the safety of the labs, however a large bolt of thunder hit the building and forced it to collapse, forcing the group to find shelter in the closest place to hide from the emission, the large canal under Yantar.
“Shit! To the pipes then!” Yana quickly exclaims, grabbing Garik by the collar before the building collapses on the absent minded Freedomer as they rush into the Canal.
As they reach the Canal opening however, another large flash of light and thunder touched the ground.
The flickering lights quickly faded and revealed another large monolith fighter. Unmistakably… was a scourge.
The team paused as more lights quickly came about, and more and more scourge members came out, two… then three, then four… surround them.
“Uhh- fuck fuck fuck…” Garik was whispering as a new one kept appearing around them.
Everyone was silent, only the flashing lights and the storm could be heard.
Suddenly, All the Scourges around them suddenly opened their eyes and faded away. Except for one.
His face like a mummy and with bruises and a broken suit, he raises his hand at Pasha and whispers, “Help.Me”
Before he collapses on the ground.

2023.03.25 17:47 throwaway10000081111 23 y/o, living with parents who are moving out of country in 5 mos
I have had terrible anxiety all of my life. Saying that understates it. Many forms of therapy throughout the years, I've tried medication, so many things. It's still there and it's always been debilitating - the only reason I mention this is because before this year I was completely sedentary, so in a lot of ways I am starting from scratch now. Which I know is still my fault.
Living with my parents, they're moving out of the country later this year, and I haven't really built a savings so I'm working on that right now. I recently got a pretty good full time job, about ~$600/week. I'm saving 50% of my paychecks but it's been hard to get the ball rolling because I have had to pay a couple of tickets (my car's plates were expired by 2 years so they got siezed. It's a whole situation, but the check engine light is always on alongside various mechanics having told us nothing is wrong. The other vehicle I can drive is my parents', which is technically legal but accelerates so slow that it is seriously unsafe to drive.), and whatever costs the upcoming mechanic will charge, and I need a new phone because my new job is centered around mobile connectivity and my phone is from 5 years ago and is hardly working anymore. After those things, I'm ready to save as much as I can.
Credit karma tells me my credit score is around 675, but I get turned down from financing opportunities on basically everything due to no credit history. I also have a little over $700 in collections.
The gist is - I am trying to accumulate as much savings as I can. I have no credit history, I don't know anything about finances or saving money effectively. Looking for good starting points, like what kind of accounts I should open if any, and what kind of credit card I should try to get so I can start building credit ASAP.

2023.03.25 17:45 FitInvestigator5945 POEM ON ECONOMICS
MONEY IS FAKE
MONEY HAS NO VALUE
MONEY IS A FRAUD
THE CONCEPT OF THE PAPER DOLLAR IS A FACADE
YOU HAVE BEEN DUPED
EVERYONE YOU KNOW HAS BEEN LYING TO YOU FOREVER AND ON PURPOSE
SHAME ON YOU FOR LISTENING
MAYBE THEY DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE WRONG
MAYBE THEY DID
AND THIS MAKES YOU WRONGER
MUCH MORE WRONGER
WRONGER ISN'T EVEN A WORD
THAT'S JUST HOW WRONG YOU ACTUALLY WERE FOR LISTENING TO THE WRONG THING
HOW OFTEN DO WE TAKE THE WRONG ADVICE?
THEY SAID SAVE YOUR MONEY
YOU EVER TRIED SAVING A BANANA?
WHY NOT?
UH DUH?
IT'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO SPOIL
THEY KNOW FOOD SPOILS
LIKE DUH RIGHT?
NEVER BEEN TOLD THE PAPER DOLLAR SPOILS AS WELL THOUGH
AND THAT'S A MOTHER FUCKING SHAME MY NIGGA DAM
YOU BUGGIN
LIKE A FIRE ANT
MAN THESE FIRE ANTS OUT HERE BUGGING BRA
BRA WHAT DID THEY DO TO OUR MONEY?
BRA WTF HAPPENED TO THE AMERICAN DOLLAR?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AMERICAN DOLLAR
THE AMERICAN DOLLAR IS RESERVED FOR AMERICANS ONLY
IF YOU'RE NOT WHITE YOU'RE NOT CONSIDERED AN "ACTUAL" AMERICAN
YOU'RE CONSIDERED A MINORITY
ALL MINORITIES ARE TO BE ENSLAVED WITHIN AMERICAN BOUNDARIES
THIS IS WHAT AMERICA WILL NEVER TELL YOU
HERE IS WHY I SAY THIS
March 4, 1861 – April 15, 1865
Abraham Lincoln's career as America's 16th president spanned about four years, from March 4, 1861 to his murder on April 15, 1865,
By a Confederate sympathizer.
Long before entering Washington, Lincoln's life was in danger;
His entire presidency was marked by civil war and contentious conditions.
The 1913 Federal Reserve Act created the Federal Reserve System, known simply as "The Fed."
It was implemented to establish economic stability in the U.S. by introducing a central bank to oversee monetary policy.
1 The Federal Reserve Act is one of the most influential laws shaping the U.S. financial system.
Racial segregation in the United States is the segregation of facilities and services such as housing, medical care, education, employment, ...
When did segregation end in USA?
1964
In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, which legally ended the segregation that had been institutionalized by Jim Crow laws.
And in 1965, the Voting Rights Act halted efforts to keep minorities from voting.
SEGREGATION AND INTEGRATION ARE THE MAIN POINTS HERE
WHEN AMERICAN SEGREGATION WAS ACTIVE
THE AMERICAN DOLLAR INDEX OR DXY
WAS BACKED BY GOLD AND SILVER
INTEGRATION OF METALS TO THE PAPER DOLLAR
THE PAPER DOLLARS WERE CALLED GREENBACKS
GREEN BACKED BY METALS
NATURAL RESOURCES WTF?
GO FIGURE
WHEN AMERICAN SEGREAGATION ENDED IN 1964
THE 1913 FEDERAL RESERVE ACT HAD ALREADY
SEGREGATED THE METAL RESOURCES FROM THE PAPER DOLLARS
51 YEARS PRIOR
THAT IS HALF OF A CENTURY
BASICALLY WHAT I AM SAYING IS
ALL OF THAT MONEY IN YOUR POCKET ISN'T REALLY WORTH SHIT NIGGA YOU'RE A CLOWN
YOU'RE A CLOWN?
OH HELL YEAH YOU'RE A CLOWN
NO OFFENSE
YOU FUCKING CLOWN
NEVER CALL A FOOL A FOOL
BUT YOU CAN DEFINITELY CALL A CLOWN A CLOWN
BECAUSE HE'S A FUCKING CLOWN
WHAT I AM SAYING IS THE FEDERAL RESERVE ACT OF 1913
WAS THE BEGINNING OF CLASSICISM IN AMERICA AND
THE BIRTH OF ECONOMIC SLAVERY
DEFINITION OF PHYSICAL SLAVERY?
HERE IT IS
The physical or psychological manipulation or coercion to force a person to work.
DEFINITION OF ECONOMIC SLAVERY?
Wage slavery describes a person's dependence on wages or a salary for their livelihood, especially when wages are low, conditions are poor, and there are few realistic chances of upward mobility.
AND I JUST MURKED YOUR ASS OFF
YOU'RE DEAD
DEAD YET?
YOU'RE GONE
FINISHED
GOODBYE SIR
OR MA'AM
OR MA'AM
THAT WAS BORN A SIR
OR SIR
THAT WAS BORN A MA'AM
KILLED YOU AGAIN
YOU DONE YET?
WHY YOU KEEP ON SHOOTING IF YOU KNOW THIS NIGGA IS DEAD?
DRAKE SAID THAT NOT ME
I LEARNED ALL OF THIS FROM A DRAKE SONG
HE PROBABLY STOLE IT FROM SOMEONE ELSE
I BLAME EVERYTHING I JUST SAID ON DRIZZY DRAKE ROGERS

2023.03.25 17:42 FitInvestigator5945 THE RAIN MAN
GOOD AFTERNOON READERS, MY NAME IS CHIZZY CHAD ROGERS AKA THE WHITE RABBIT OR THE DXY RAIN MAN. THEY CALL ME THE RAIN MAN BASED ON MY ABILITY TO ASCERTAIN KEEN OBSERVATIONS FROM STUDYING THE CURRENCY MARKET CHARTS. I HOLD STOCKS AND CRYPTO AS FAR AS VALUE INVESTING GOES BUT I AM A BONAFIDE CURRENCY SPECULATOR, IT IS HOW I PLAN TO FUND AS MUCH VALUE INVESTING AS MY SOUL DESIRES.
I STARTED TRADING CURRENCY FOUR YEARS AGO, I SPENT FOUR YEARS JUST CRASHING THE ACCOUNTS AND STUDYING THRU HINDSIGHT WHY IT DID WHAT IT DID, AND WHY I DID WHAT I DID. NOW WE ARE A FEW INCHES AWAY FROM THE GLORY WE SOUGHT OUT AFTER AND SO WE ARE STARTING A YOUTUBE TRADING CHANNEL WITH PODCASTS AND SKITS TO ILLUSTRATE THE PROPER TRADING STRATEGY. BEFORE I STARTED TRADING I WAS A FILMMAKER SO THE CONTENT WILL BE FROM AN ACTUAL ARTIST WHO LEARNED TO TRADE IN ORDER TO FUND HIS ART.
HOW WE ARE GOING TO CONDUCT THIS SUB REDDIT IS TO CONTINOUSLY POST THE FOUR HORSEMEN FOR TWO DIFFERENT CHARTS AT A TIME. WE WILL CHECK THE FOUR HORSEMEN ON BOTH CHARTS. FOR EXAMPLE, I TRADE SILVER PRIMARILY. SILVER PAYS MY BILLS. FOR EVERY 10 PIPS OR 100 POINTS OR 10 CENTS IN PRICE LEVEL SILVER MOVES IN THE WAGED DIRECTION, THE PROFIT IS $10 PER TRADE. I TRADE 0.05-0.10 LOT SIZES. THAT IS 50 CENTS TO $1 PER POINT. THERE ARE TEN POINTS PER PIP. PIP MEANS "POINTS IN PERCENTAGES."
https://www.investing.com/indices/usdollar-technical
THIS IS THE SITE I USE TO CONFIRM MY ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS.
INVESTING.COM TECHNICALS CHART. I AM LOOKING AT THE FOUR HORSEMEN OR THE FOUR MUSKETEERS. THE VERY FIRST INDICATORS FOUND ON THE TECHNICALS TAB WHEN YOU SCROLL DOWN PAST THE MOVING AVERAGES BAR CHART. THEY ARE IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER: 1. THE RSI. 2. THE STOCH. 3. THE STOCH RSI. 4. THE MACD.
WHATEVER PAIR YOU ARE TRADING, YOU HAVE TO ALSO CONFIRM YOUR ENTRY AND EXIT BASED ON THE DOLLAR INDEX, THE DXY. ANY PAIR YOU ARE TRADING, IF IT HAS USD IN IT, THEN IT MUST BE TRADED USING THE DOLLAR INDEX TECHNICALS. THE FOUR INDICATORS ONLY EVER HAVE THREE SIGNALS, THEY ONLY SHOW ONE AT A TIME. WHEN YOU SEE THE HOURLY, I USE THE HOURLY RSI ON DXY CHART AS WELL AS XAGUSD, SILVER'S CHART.
THE RSI WILL ONLY EVER SAY OVER BOUGHT OVER 70, OVER SOLD UNDER 30 AND NEUTRAL NEAR 40-50. THE HOURLY CHART WILL SHOW YOU WHICH WAY THE PRICE WILL OVER EXTEND. THIS IS YOUR ENGULFING CANDLE. THE HOURLY CHART IS THE ENGULFING CANDLE YOU HEAR ABOUT. WHATEVER THE HOURLY MACD CANDLE IS, THIS IS YOUR ENGULFING CANDLE. LOOK FOR THIS ENGULF PAST THE HOURLY 200 MA OR MOVING AVERAGE. YOU CAN SEE IT RIGHT ABOVE THE RSI ON THE WEBSITE PROVIDED.
YOU WANT TO CHECK THE HOURLY RSI AND MACD FOR XAGUSD AND FOR DXY IN THIS EXAMPLE. IF YOU TRADE FIAT OR ENERGY LIKE OIL OR NATURAL GAS, IT IS THE SAME STRATEGY. PICK YOUR PAIR, FOR THIS EXAMPLE WE WILL SAY YOU AS WELL PAY YOUR BILLS WITH SILVER PROFITS, HERE WE GO.
- STEP ONE IS GO TO INVESTING.COM TECHNICALS TWICE, ONE FOR XAGUSD OR GBPUSD AND ONE FOR THE DXY.
- STEP TWO IS YOU CHECK THE HOURLY TAB FOR BOTH CHARTS, THIS IS THE ENTIRE PAIR, WITHOUT BOTH CHARTS YOU HAVE HALF OF THE INFORMATION AND IF IT'S NOT THE DXY YOU'RE OBSERVING, YOU HAVE THE WRONG SET OF INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED, WHICH YOUR PROFITS AND LOSSES ACCOUNT WILL SHORTLY REFLECT.
- STEP THREE IS YOU CHECK THE MACD ON BOTH CHARTS TO SEE THE ENGULF BEING MADE. THE SILVER HOURLY MACD IS NOW GREEN FOR BLUE BULLS TO BUY. THE DXY HOURLY MACD IS NOW RED FOR THE RED BEARS TO SELL OR SALE. ONCE YOU KNOW YOUR HOURLY ENGULFING, YOU KNOW THE SHORT IS THE OPPOSITE OF THE HOURLY MACD. YOU ONLY WANT TO SHORT THE MACD CANDLE WHEN THE DXY HOURLY RSI IS AT OVER BOUGHT OVER 70 OR NEUTRAL BETWEEN 40-50.
- STEP FOUR IS TO REALIZE THE NEUTRAL INDICATOR STANDS FOR "THE HOURLY MACD EXTENSION IS COMING". THE DXY AND XAGUSD CHART'S HOURLY MACD ARE OPPOSITE. NEUTRAL FOR THE HOURLY SILVER CHARTS MEANS "THOSE BUYERS ARE RELOADING UP ON THEM BUYS YA'LL BOYS." NEUTRAL FOR THE DXY HOURLY CHART MEANS "THEM BEARS ARE RELOADING UP ON THOSE SALES YA'LL BOYS."
- IF THE MACD HOURLY IS GREEN, THAT IS A BLUE BUY AND HERE IS YOUR MOVE. OVERSOLD RSI YOU BUY IT, AT NEUTRAL YOU BUY IT AND AT OVERSOLD OVER 70 RSI HOURLY YOU SELL IT. IN THIS EQUATION, YOU ONLY HAVE ONE SELL TRADE, ONE SHORT AND IT IS OVER BOUGHT OVER 70 HOURLY RSI INDICATOR. BEFORE YOU EXECUTE THIS TRADE, YOU MUST CONFIRM IT WITH THE HOURLY DXY RSI. THE DXY IS $103.30. XAGUSD PER OUNCE IS $21.600. THE DOLLAR IS OBVIOUSLY ORE EXPENSIVE THAN SILVER, BUT IT IS NOT ALWAYS SO OBVIOUSLY AT FIRST. YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LEAD OF THE BIGGER AND MORE EXPENSIVE PREDATOR IN THE JUNGLE MARKET.
- BEFORE YOU BUY SILVER, YOU WANT YOUR TWO RSI INDICATORS TO REFLECT THESE VALUES. A BUY ON XAGUSD WOULD MEAN THE HOURLY MACD IS GREEN AND THE HOURLY RSI IS NEUTRAL, INDICATING AN EXPANSION TOWARDS THE HOURLY MACD OR THE CANDLE. THE MACD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INDICATOR ONLY BECAUSE IT TELLS YOU WHAT YOUR SHORT IS. FOR A SILVER BUY I WANT TO SEE THE HOURLY DXY RSI @ OVERSOLD OR AT LEAST UNDER 30 WITH AN OVERSOLD ON THE STOCH OR THE STOCH RSI. FOR A SILVER BULL TRADE, I'M LOOKING FOR THE HOURLY XAGUSD CHART TO REFLECT THE RSI OF NEUTRAL AND THE HOURLY DXY RSI TO REFLECT AN OVER SOLD. THESE TWO HOURLY RSI VS THE MACD INDICATIONS WILL DIRECT YOU TO THE PROFITS. THE XAGUSD CHART WILL GO NEUTRAL FIRST, TO TEMPT YOU, IN ORDER TO SNATCH ALL OF YOUR HARD EARNED BREAD FASTER THAN AN ONLINE TRANSACTION. THIS IS THE PUMP FAKE. THIS IS DEFENDING KOBE BEAN BRYANT THE GOAT. HE WILL HIT YOU ABOUT THREE TIMES WITH THAT SUPER TRIPLE PUMP FAKE THEN ACE THE SHOT AND DRAW THE FOUL. YOU'RE A ROOKIE THEN.
- WHEN YOU WANT TO SELL SILVER, YOU SELL IT ONLY WHEN THE DOLLAR INDEX 5M AND 15M CHARTS ARE SELLING AS WELL. YOU SELL SILVER WHEN THE DOLLAR IS SELLING BC THE DOLLAR INDEX RUNS THE WHOLE SHOW WHEN OPPOSED TO $21 SILVER. $103 VS $21...WHO WILL YOU BET ON? BET ON THE TOP DOG IN THE YARD. THERE IS A DOG FIGHT GOING ON IN THE MARKET AGAINST THE PIT BULLS AND THE YORKIES AND THIS MAN YOLOED HIS RENT CHECK ON THE TOY DOG. HE PUT ALL OF HIS MONEY ON THE CUTE AND FUZZY ONE. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SANITY REPORT OF A MAN WHO BETS ON A POODLE TO KILL THE PIT BULL? SORRY FOR THE IMAGERY BUT IT GETS THE POINT ACROSS DOESN'T IT? YOU COME BACK TO FIND NOTHING BUT FREE MARGIN BLOOD AND NEGATIVE GUTS IN THE ACCOUNT AND YOU'RE WONDERING WHERE YOU BREAD WENT...IN THE BELLY OF THE RED NOSE.
- WHEN YOU WANT TO SELL SILVER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE HOURLY XAGUSD RSI TO SAY OVER BOUGHT OVER 70. YOU ALSO NEED THE HOURLY DXY RSI TO SAY OVER BOUGHT OVER 70 OR NEUTRAL. NEUTRAL MEANS TWO DIFFERENT THINGS IN THIS EQUATION BC THE HOURLY MACD DIFFER. WHEN THE DXY 15M CHART IS SELLING THEN YOU STOP SILVER BUYS AND SELL SILVER SILVER MUST COPY CAT THE 15M DXY CHART. IT IS MONKEY SEE AND MONKEY DO AS WELL AS MUSICAL CHAIRS WITH A BUNCH OF MONKEYS. IF THE HOURLY DXY MOVING AVERAGES CHART IS ALL RED AND YOU SEE A GREEN POP UP, YOUR BUY IS ON THE WAY FOR SILVER. SELL SILVER WHEN THE DXY 15M IS SELLING, UNTIL YOU SEE A BUY SIGNAL ON THE DXY 15M MOVING AVERAGES CHART ON INVESTING.COM.
- IF I WANTED TO SELL SILVER, I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR THE DXY 15M TO BE SELLING, I WOULD BE LOOKING FOR THE FIRST BUY SIGNAL ON THE MOVING AVERAGES TO POP UP AFTER HOURS OF THE 15M BEING ALL GREEN. YOU ARE WAITING FOR IT TO MOVE TO AN AVERAGE ON THE 5HR CHART POSSIBLY IF IT MOVES PAST THE HOURLY MA200. YOU WOULDN'T SELL UNTIL THE HOURLY 200MA GETS PUSHED PAST IT THEN RETURNS HOURS LATER. YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE PRICE FROM CHART TO CHART, SEE HOW FAR DOWN THE NEXT CHART IT MOVES BEFORE IT LOSES POWER AND RETURNS TO THE HOURLY 200MA.
- A SELL EQUATION FOR SILVER LOOKS LIKE THIS TO ME...DXY HOURLY MACD IS RED SO THE RSI MUST EITHER SAY OVER BOUGHT OR NEUTRAL. THE BUY EQUATION FOR SILVER LOOKS LIKE THIS TO ME...THE DXY HOURLY MACD IS RED SO THE RSI IS TO BE AT OVER SOLD HOURLY BEFORE BUYING. THIS IS JUST THE FIRST CONFIRMATION BUT IF THE DOLLAR INDEX REFLECTS IT THEN IT IS TRUE. CONFIRM WITH BOTH CHARTS. HERE IS HOW BOTH CHARTS SHOULD READ IN BOTH EXAMPLES.
- XAGUSD BUY TRADE = WHEN DXY MACD IS RED AND XAG MACD IS GREEN. BUY SILVER WHEN HOURLY SILVER SAYS NEUTRAL AND THE DXY RSI HOURLY REFLECTS AN OVERSOLD.
- XAGUSD SALES TRADE = WHEN DXY MACD IS RED AND XAG MACD IS GREEN. YOU SELL SILVER WHEN EITHER THE 15M DXY SUMMARY SAYS SELL OR STRONG SELL OR WAIT UNTIL XAG HOURLY RSI IS OVER BOUGHT AND THE DXY HOURLY RSI IS AT NEUTRAL.
- REMEMBERING NEUTRAL MEANS RELOADING ON THE HOURLY MACD. WHEN SILVER SAYS IT IS NEUTRAL IT IS PREPARING TO EXPAND. REMEMBERING NEUTRAL FOR THE SILVER HOURLY CHART IS A BUY INDICATOR BUT BEFORE IT CAN BUY THE DXY HOURLY RSI MUST BE AT OVERSOLD...THE ONE BUY THE HOURLY BEARISH RED MACD CANDLE ALLOWS. THE HOURLY MACD CANDLE OF GREEN ONLY ALLOWS ONE SELL AND IT IS AT RSI HOURLY OVER BOUGHT. OVER SOLD AND NEUTRAL IN THIS SITUATION IS A DOUBLE BUY INDICATOR. THE HOURLY MACD CANDLE OF RED BEAR HEADS ONLY ALLOWS ONE BUY AND AT THE HOURLY RSI OF OVER SOLD. OVER BOUGHT AND NEUTRAL ARE THE TWO SALES FOR A MACD RED FORMATION.
- IF THIS STRATEGY EARNS YOU PROFIT THEN CASH APP ME @ $SILVERBURGER FOR $10-$100 BC WE JUST SHARED HOW WE EARN 1000% PROFIT IN 12 HOURS, 2000% PROFIT DAILY.

SILVER IS READY TO RELOAD UP ON THEM BUYS AND THE DXY HOURLY RSI CONCURS, THEY ARE CONGRUENT. WE HAVE CONGRUENCE PEOPLE BETWEEN THE DOLLAR INDEX AND THE XAGUSD SLIPPERY CHART. WE HAVE A VERY GOOD GRIP ON THE HOURLY EXPANSION FOR XAGUSD. DXY BUS ON THE WAY FROM OVERSOLD TO NEUTRAL OR OVERBOUGHT HOURLY RSI. HOURLY RSI XAG BUS EN ROUTE FROM NEUTRAL TO OVERBOUGHT. BOTH BUSES MUST REACH THEIR DESTINATIONS AT THE SAME TIME BEFORE ANY PASSENGERS LEAVE THE BUS TO ENTER THE NEXT ONE. EVER SAW THE 1994 FILM "SPEED"? THANK YOU ALL.

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE CURRENCY TRADERS AND SPECULATORS
EARLIER TODAY, WE CAUGHT THE DXY CHART HOURLY RSI AT 23 OVERSOLD OR @ 23 OVER SOLD.
AT THIS POINT, THE XAGUSD HOURLY RSI CHART WAS AT 53 NEUTRAL.
THE DXY CONTINUED IN THE HOURLY MACD DIRECTION OF BEARISH SENTIMENT WHILE ALL OF THE LOWER CHARTS UNDER HOURLY WERE REFLECTING THE HOURLY NEUTRAL DXY RSI OR SILVER HOURLY NEUTRAL RSI.
THE HOURLY DXY WILL CONTINUE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE MACD CANDLE, WHICH IS RED AS OF NOW, UNTIL THE 5 MINUTE CHART AND 15 MINUTE RSI REFLECT AN OVER SOLD OR NEUTRAL RSI YOU CONTINUE IN THE DXY HOURLY MACD MOMENTUM.
YOU WANT THE TWO CHARTS FOR XAGUSD AND DXY FOR EACH TIME FRAME TO SHOW THE SAME SIGNALS. IT WILL BE THE HIGHER CHARTS THAT GIVE THE FIRST SIGNAL, THE HIGHER CHARTS BECOME THE LOWER CHARTS. THE LOWER CHARTS DON'T BECOME THE HIGHER CHARTS. I USED TO THINK THIS. THINKING THE FIVE MINUTE CANDLE WILL DICTATE THE HOURLY CANDLE, NOT NECESSARILY, IF ONLY SO THE WORLD WAS THIS PERFECT.

WE SPOTTED THE 30M-60M TECH CHARTS RSI AND STOCH AND STOCH RSI INDIES, OR INDICATORS, AT OVER PURCHASED IN THE MACD DIRECTION FOR THE HOURLY AND HALF HOURLY. HOW ABOUT THAT NOW? THIS CHAT ROOM IS FOR TRADERS WHO DESERVE THE SECRETS AFTER FOUR PLUS YEARS. IF YOU HAVE BEEN TRADING FOR LESS THAN FOUR YEARS, YOU DESERVE TO PAY FOR THIS. TRADING OUR SILVER UPPERCUT COMBO STRATEGY MEAL, YOU'LL SEE TENDIES. WE ALL LOVE THE TENDY TENDIES DO NOT WE?
IF YOU SPOT THE DXY DOLLAR INDEX HOURLY AND 30M CONGRUENT AND AT 100 OVERBOUGHT STOCH AND STOCH RSI AND OVER 70 OR 69...PLEASE TRADE THIS SIGNAL AND TELL US. WARN US OF YOU SEE THEM BOYS. THOSE ARE THEM BOYS. THE FEDS. JAKE. JAKE THE SNAKE ROBERTS. THAT'S A RETICULATED PYTHON ON THE CHARTS MAN, THOSE CANDLES. THESE CANDLES ARE THE BAIN OF YOUR ACCOUNT'S EXISTENCE.
THIS IS A CLASSIC AND TIMELESS SUB REDDIT. THE MOST PROFITABLE TRADE AND HOLD ASSET GIVER KNOWN TO MAN. WE PUT AMERICA ON THE DOLLAR INDEX. EVERY TIME I CRASHED AN ACCOUNT WITH HORRIBLE TRADES, IT WAS NOT BASED ON THE DOLLAR INDEX. I WASN'T FOLLOWING THE DOLLAR INDEX. I HAVE THE BEST CHANCE WITH THE DOLLAR INDEX. LET IT MATCH THE SECOND OR BASE CURRENCY CHART AS WELL.
YOU ARE LOOKING AT FOUR CHARTS. TWO OF THE CHARTS YOU ARE LOOKING AT ARE THE HOURLY AND HALF HOURLY. THE OTHER TWO CHARTS YOU ARE LOOKING AT EACH TIME FRAME, FOR BOTH CURRENCIES. IT IS A CURRENCY PAIR. THIS IS VITAL. TRADING SILVER AGAINST THE DOLLAR. SILVER IS $21.50. THE DOLLAR INDEX IS $103.50. SILVER MOVES TWICE AS MUCH PIPS AS SILVER DOES. SILVER IS XAG. XAG IS THE POODLE. THE DXY IS THE PIT BULL WITH A RED NOSE. WHO BETS THEIR RENT MONEY ON A POODLE? WHOSE POODLE IS THIS? IT WON'T BE A POODLE MUCH LONGER. WHOMEVER OWNS THIS MONEY MAKING POODLE BETTER GET HIM OUT OF THE RING BEFORE THE CHAINS COME OFF. THE DXY ARE THE CHAINS THAT CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER.
YOU HAVE THE BEST CHANCE WITH THE 30M-60M DXY INDEX AS YOUR MAIN INDICATOR. THE MACD. 30M MACD. 30M ROC. 30M ROC PRECEDES THE MACD'S ARRIVAL. LET THE 30M ROC BE GREEN FOR A BUY. LET THE ROC BE RED FOR A SALES. TREND DISCOUNTS IS ALL IT EVER IS. ONLY CHAMPIONS DESERVE THIS SITE. PRIVATE CLUB YOU CAN FIND OR BE INVITED TO. THE FLYEST CLUB ON THE WEB FOR MONEY MAKERS. WE ARE MONEY FAKERS. WE FAKE THE MONEY OUT TO TAKE THE MONEY HOW WE NEED TO MAKE THE MONEY. NOW WE RAKE THE FUNNY.
IF I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH TRADING AND NOT KNOWING ABOUT THE DOLLAR INDEX AND ITS VERY EXISTENCE, MAKES ME EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE KNOWING I AM NOW AND FINALLY GAMBLING ONLY ON THE DOLLAR INDEX AGAINST A WEAKER PRICE. IT IS A GAMBLE EITHER WAY. NO MATTER THE RESEARCH, THE RISK IS THERE MORE SO THAN THE REWARD IS. THE REWARD ONLY COMES AT THE END OF THE PROPERLY PLACED TRADE. THIS STRATEGY IS NEW TO ME AND SO THE NERVOUS NERVES OF CHART WATCHING IS THERE.
SO BY STARING MAINLY AT XAGUSD AND DXY 30M-60M RSI AND STOCH AND STOCH RSI, USING THE 1 AND 5 MINUTE CONGRUENT CHARTS TO BE ALIGNED WITH TRADE AND MAYBE EVEN THE 15M CHART AS WELL. WHEN THE 30M-60M AND 1-5M AND MAYBE EVEN THE 15M CHART ALIGN, THIS IS THE ENTRY. THE 30M CHART TELLS WHERE TO ENTER. THE 1-5M CHART 200MA SHOWS WHERE TO ENTER OR EXIT OR CASH OUT. TO SEE A NEUTRAL, OVER BOUGHT, OR OVER SOLD, KNOWN AS OVER PURCHASED MOMENTUM.

TRADING RIPPLE XRP. A CRYPTO CURRENCY. $0.40600. WE ARE BUYING IT ON THE ONE MINUTE RSI TO OVER BOUGHT OR PURCHASED @ 70 PLUS WHEN THE STOCH AND STOCH RSI ARE CROSSED OVER 80-100 OVERBOUGHT.
TRADE ONE. ABOVE.
TRADE TWO. BELOW
ONE MINUTE RSI WAS AT 29 OVER SOLD. WE BUY UNTIL SELL LIMIT TWICE PER ACCOUNT WITH TWO ACCOUNTS. FOUR XRP BUYS UNTIL ONE MINUTE 300MA OR 70 RSI WITH STOCH TWINS OVERBOUGHT AT 100 OR CROSSED OVER 80.
4 SELL LIMITS PLACED FOR 300MA ONE MINUTE AKA CLARICE AT $0.41000. BUYS ARE TAKING PROFITS AUTOMATICALLY AT $0.40900-950.
THIS TRADE WAS MADE BC THE 5 MINUTE-WEEKLY CHARTS MACD WERE ALL NEGATIVE. INDICATING A HORRIBLE DOWN TREND FOR THE "BUY THOSE" ENTHUSED. ENTERING THE BUY KNOWING IT WAS A ONE CHART BUY. THIS IS A ONE CHART BUY. I WANTED TO SELL. DID THE MARKET SELL FROM WHERE I WOULD HAVE ENTERED INTO A SELL AT? NO. I FELT $0.40200 WAS A BAD SELL ENTRY. THE DIP DOWN FROM $0.41000 WASN'T THE ONLY DIP FROM THIS LEVEL. THIS IS WHERE I AM AT NOW WITH TRADING PYSCHE SCHEMAS.
TRADE TWO HAS NO TAKE PROFIT. MAYBE $4 PROFIT AND I WILL SHORT BUY INBETWEEN ONLY AT THE ONE MINUTE RSI OF OVERSOLD UNDER 30 WITH STOCH TWINS CROSSING OVER 80..
TRADE THREE IS THE SHORT BUY ONE MINUTE RSI AT OVERSOLD. THANK YOU ALL. SMOOTH SAILING ON SUCH A TURBULENT WAVE.

WEEKEND SESSION TRADING XRP ON
WWW.FXSWAY.COM READING THE INACTIVE CHART FOR SILVER XAGUSD FROM THE HOURLY CHART TO THE ONE MINUTE CHART. FIVE CHART READING. FIVE TRADES BASED ON ONE PER CHART OF FIVE. PARTY OF FIVE TRADING. THESE FIVE FRIENDS WILL HAVE YOUR ACCOUNT JUMP, JUMP, JUMPING FRIEND.
THIS CHART IS FOR XRPUSD. PUT IT ACCIDENTALLY SO WE WILL RETURN TO THIS. THIS IS THE FIVE MINUTE CHART AS SEEN ON
INVESTING.COM SLASH XAGUSD TECHNICAL DIAGNOSIS. HERE IS YOUR TRADING PRESCRIPTION.
THE RSI IS NEUTRAL. INDICATES A MACD COME BACK SESSION ON THIS ONE CHART. EVERY CHART IS IT'S OWN ENTITY WITHIN THE ENTITY AND EVERY CHART HAS ITS OWN MIND. A NEUTRAL RSI WITH A GREEN MACD FOR BLUE BUYING BULLS INDICATES A BUY RELOAD READY, THOSE BUYERS HAVE REORGANIZED THEIR PORTFOLIO AND THE MARKET IS ONCE AGAIN READY FOR THE MACD CATERING. CATERING TO THE MACD WILL CATER TO YOUR EACH AND EVERY NEEDS AS WELL OLD PAL. FRESH PAL.
THE STOCH AT NEUTRAL INDICATES THE SAME. THE STOCH RSI HAS MOVED FIRST TO OVERSOLD AT 0 AND BACK ON ITS WAY TO OVERBOUGHT OVER 80 TO 100 MAX. THIS MEANS THE FIRST THREE OF THE FIRST FOUR INDICATORS ARE IN ALIGNED POSTURES. THREE UPPERCUTS TO SOME ONE'S JAW. THERE IS A BUY COMING UP TO 70 PLUS OVER BOUGHT ON THE RSI WITH THE STOCH AND STOCH RSI TWINS AT OVERBOUGHT OVER 80 TO 100 MAX. THE STOCH RSI IS THE FIRST OF THE FIRST FOUR INDICATORS TO MOVE IN A DIRECTION. THIS IS WHEN YOU COULD DOUBLE DOWN ON YOUR POSITIONS. YOU GO FOR THE GUSTO YOLO STYLE THIS WAY ONLY.
AT THIS POINT THE MACD DIRECTION OF BLUE BULL BUYING UP TREND ASCENSION, EXPANSION, WILL KILL ANY SELLS PLACED BELOW $0.40700, WHERE WE PLACED OUR FIRST SELL. FOR US AT LEAST, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BAD. I WANTED TO SELL XRP WITH THE REST OF THE CHARTS. THAT IS THE KEY, THE REST OF THE CHARTS ARE SELLING YES, THIS ONE CHART IS THE LAST BUYING CHART. ALL OF THE FURTHER CHARTS INDICATED A RED BEAR SALES MACD AGGRESSION EXPANSION ON ALL BUYS AFTER THIS CHART.
THIS IS A ONE CHART BUY. ONE CHART BUY. SO THE SELL I WANTED WAS 4 HOURS AWAY ACTUALLY. IT HAS BEEN FOUR HOURS. ONE FOUR HOUR CANDLE. I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRESSING. I HAD DEMO TRADES IN ALREADY PRE LIVE TRADING FOR HOURS SO I KNEW THE BUY ON THE FIVE MINUTE WAS STILL NOT FINISHED. THIS IS THE CONCEPT BEHIND WHAT WE CALL AT "HOLLYWOOODTRADES", "THE GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS OR MEMPHIS RAINES MACD RSI STRATEGY". YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CALL THIS STRATEGY THE MEMPHIS RAINES, MEMPHIS RAINES MACD OR THE GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS AND PIPS STRAT, STRAT, STRAT.
BASED ON THE FIRST FOUR INDICATORS ON THIS CHART WE GAVE YOU THE THREE TRADE PLAY. THE FOUR TRADE PLAY. INCLUDING THIS CHART IT IS A FIVE TRADE PLAY, A FIVE CHART TRADING STRATEGY. YOU HAVE TO TRADE OFF OF FIVE CHARTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. SORRY BUD, THIS IS JUST HOW THE GAME IS FINANCIALLY STRUCTURED .
IT IS PROPER HEDGING. TO HEDGE, OR NOT TO HEDGE? IS THIS NOT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS? HEDGING IS FUNDAMENTAL BUT COMPLICATED, WHEN TO GO BOTH WAYS? IS THIS NOT ANOTHER ONE OF THE QUESTIONS? HEY GOOGLE, WHEN SHOULD MY TRADE GO BI SEXUAL? UH, AT THE PROPER PRICE LEVEL. MAYBE AT THE SAME PRICE LEVEL BUT TO A DIFFERENT PRICE LEVEL.
THE ANSWER IS TO PLAY EACH CHART INDIVIDUALLY. YOUR ONE MINUTE TRADE ALWAYS EXIST. MAY NOT BE THE TRADE LOOKED FOR BUT IT IS ABOUT THE TRADE FOUND MORE SO. CAN YOU SPOT THE OPPORTUNITIES ON THE ONE MINUTE UP TO FIVE HOUR OR DAILY CHARTS? THIS IS HOW YOU SCALP THE ENTIRE CHART.

2023.03.25 17:40 aznnuclearcow This is no longer about clicks. Wired deserves reputational risk front and center unless it acts. And maybe there is a real story about Brandon to be told in mainstream media.
The floodgates are out. It's no longer about the view counts - the Wired article has already hit their top article for the week and it's not ad-driven anyway. Trying to "not link to the article" is meaningless. Now we're at the next stage - articulating the reputational risk to the magazine and its generally thoughtful content.
When I read the article, it was worse than I could have ever imagined.
- "This time the food is better: Utah Japanese. Sanderson and I order ramen. He salts his. Then I watch his son salt his yakisoba. I could cry again."
- "For now, the fans, even the turned-away ones, are in unconquerable spirits. As is typically the case at these things, there’s a general air—warmish, body-odored—of unselfconsciousness."
- "This is what I drove all the way from San Francisco to the suburbs of Salt Lake City in the freezing-cold dead of winter for? For previously frozen dim sum and freeze-dried conversation? This must be why nobody writes about Brandon Sanderson."
- "Could it be, finally, because he’s a weirdo Mormon?"
If you skim the article very, very quickly, you might miss the quotes. You might think that the structure is generally ok: boring day-to-day life, Mormonism has some unconventional elements, Sanderson's prose needs work, and the theme parks are a bit over the top. But by folding in passive aggressive comments, the bully inserts his poison. This is how bullies create plausible deniability while trying to throw in a few sucker punches. This is how bullies insult his son, his family, his culture, his fans, and his entire ecosystem.
This article is also a caricature of how a coastal elite would think about Sanderson and Mormonism. As a coastal elite (having lived my life in San Francisco and thinking Book of Mormon is one of the funniest musicals ever), I apologize and affirm that this article doesn't speak for any of us. Thinking it's cool to denigrate a 'boring life' or the fact that 'families live and work together' or that there is 'no sex in the books' is a highly inappropriate position, period.
Of course, there is the possibility that he is being asked/paid to write a hit piece, and this is a half-hearted attempt to do so. In that case, shame on the publication for doing hit pieces. In this case, shame on the author - please write a better hit piece. In this case, shame on the editor - please edit a better hit piece.
So I ask you to read the article. Know that when Wired comes out with actual content you enjoy, its editorial standards also passes through articles like these.
Now let's talk about Wired. Wired editors can look at their internal dashboards and choose either to reward or disincentivize this type of content.
Wired editors can look at their data and say "Damn, look at the views. Should we be doing more articles like this? "Even if it feels wrong, it works". "Maybe it's worth the short term reputational damage for the views". "Maybe anti-Sanderson fans are subscribing to this kind of vibe". "Maybe a small dose of being the TMZ of nerd culture can be a promising niche".
But I believe Wired is not that type of magazine. I believe it is one that cares about its reputation. Wired is a subscription driven, low ads magazine. The Editor in Chief, Gideon Lichfield, comes from the MIT Technology Review which means they are looking to be a leader in reporting on technology. One of my favorite AI writers had also moved to Wired to report on AI long form.
This is a contagion for not just Wired but the entire of Conde Nast. Few years ago it had a big (but different) controversy at Bon Appetit. Though an entirely different flavor, the beloved property has not been the same since its genderacial pay controversy and all of its fan-favorites quit. If you are a journalist there who spends time writing thoughtful content at Wired you should be asking yourself - is this the type of place I want to be? Are these the articles that I want mine next to? And finally, if Jason is my friend, how can I support him as a person while being clear that this is not acceptable?
I guess my message to Wired is obvious. Stunts like these are a bad look. And now you can't ignore it because it is your top article. Top of funnel view counts from rage bait creates a depression effect on legitimate, thoughtful articles. If you're going to rage bait, don't do it to one of the nicest people in the industry. Apologize. Or make a real effort to try to understand the people in this community - that would be the best apology.
Now let's talk about Sanderson & the coming media. This reminds me a bit of the recent Hailey Bieber / Selena Gomez drama. For those of you who don't follow (probably most of you): Actress and Pop Star Selena Gomez was publicly insulted by similarly popular individuals Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner on Instagram for having gained weight after dealing with Lupus for many years. You might think Selena is just another "blargh" pop star but she's Sanderson-esque in that she's a kind and thoughtful persona and seeks peace and forgiveness for her insulters (as of today, anyway). And #teamselena has pretty much blown up the internet, propelling Selena to another level of popularity.
My point? The result of the Wired article is a not just a
defense of Sanderson, but a counterattack waiting to happen.
The article asks a good question - why hasn't Sanderson been covered by major news outlets? Maybe there is a very interesting story for how these fantasy subcultures exist, how Sanderson deals with mental health in his books, and the internal struggle Brandon has with the LDS that he's posted about again and again in his personal blogs. Whether it's direct competitors (The Verge, TechCrunch), or culture (New Yorker), you know the views are there now. And if the fans can spend on premium leatherbound books, they can spend on journalism too.
Not to forget... Finally, threats to others are a real problem. Even thought this post is mostly against
u/mistborn's wishes, I do 100% believe we need to leave the writers alone and put pressure on the publication itself.

2023.03.25 17:36 FitInvestigator5945 NAPOLIFILM
Alright boys, this spot is hot and somebody saw 10 bodies sink to the river’s bottom. Let us skedaddle up on out of here. We have more hostages to tend to.
NAPOLI and his crew head on to return the truck and finish out their other plans.
We cut to how the police officers woke up in a fucked up position like that anyway. NAPOLI, SEBASTIAN and CHESTER the JESTER all enter a navy blue van to capture police officers. CHESTER and NAPOLI are the gunmen while SEBASTIAN drives.
Their current mission is to scour the roads looking for police officers who have pulled over citizen vehicles. In total they find 10 and hold only 5 captive. We cut to the 1st cop’s perspective.
His name is CHET PATTERSON and he sees somebody speeding profusely. CHET proceeds to pull over ADAM right away. ADAM is scared because he left his license at home. He prays for GOD to help him out. CHET walks out of his patrol car and walks over to ADAM’s car. OFFICER CHET asks ADAM for his license and registration.
We cut to NAPOLI and his crew pulling up behind them in their van. NAPOLI pulls out his tranq gun, sticks his upper body out of the van window and shoots 2 darts in CHET’s neck. ADAM shakes in fear from witnessing what just happened.
CHET falls to the ground as NAPOLI and CHESTER the JESTER exit the van. NAPOLI holds up CHET’s upper half while CHESTER
35
gains control of his lower body. NAPOLI apologizes to ADAM for startling him and asks him to leave the scene. ADAM holds a silly, sad facial expression out of shock.
ADAM voices his appreciation for NAPOLI’s intervention due to the fact ADAM didn’t have his license present. NAPOLI jokes that now the police are after him and his crew. NAPOLI tells ADAM bye and ADAM reverses and drives south while NAPOLI and his crew drive north looking for more pre-occupied police officers.
NAPOLI and crew drive back to a hideout to drop the 1st body off. On their way there they see another cop on a routine traffic stop. SEBASTIAN pulls over 10 yards away from the police cruiser. NAPOLI and CHESTER the JESTER put their gas masks back on and exit the vehicle. NAPOLI instructs SEBASTIAN when to pick them back up.
NAPOLI pulls a spiked baseball bat from under the van’s seats and CHESTER arms his pistol with a silencer. NAPOLI and CHESTER exit the van and CHESTER takes the lead role in distracting the police officer while NAPOLI sneaks up behind him. CHESTER runs up to the car’s passenger side and shoots the cop’s partner twice in the head.
After hearing this, NAPOLI increases his velocity and launches at the officer as he pulls his weapon out on CHESTER the JESTER. The camera freezes on an in air NAPOLI for 5 seconds. We cut to a still shot of NAPOLI connecting the spiked baseball bat into the remaining officer’s head. The audience is expected to “ooh” and “aw” during both still shots.
CHESTER screams out with glee. NAPOLI looks at the bloody spikes innocently. SEBASTIAN pulls up next to the soldiers. NAPOLI points his bat at the citizen being pulled over.
NAPOLI
You didn’t see anything, we didn’t do anything, and this officer was never even here. You are going to go home, get some pussy, go to sleep; and wake up convinced this was a startling night terror. Don’t make me come after you.
NAPOLI slides open the door for CHESTER the JESTER as he pulls the bloody officer into the van arms first.
NAPOLI
Naw, I’m just fucking with you man, this nigga had it coming, big time.
36
NAPOLI looks at his handy work (the dead cop’s body). CHESTER heads to the 1st cop who died during this transaction and pulls him out of the car and into the group van.
NAPOLI
You can tell whoever you want; we paint our van weekly nigga and never drive with license plates. I wish a pig would pull us over. Negro please! What do you thinks’ going to happen next?
The man trembles to get his words out.
MANNY
You’re most likely going to engage them in armed combat?
CHESTER falls out of the van laughing at MANNY’s response.
CHESTER
What type of fucking response is that? I can’t do this, I can’t do this!!!
NAPOLI
You got damn right sonny boy. You know why?
NAPOLI picks up CHESTER and helps him back in the car.
SEBASTIAN
Come on man, we need more pigs.
NAPOLI
I’m lil Wayne bitch! Tunechi!!!
NAPOLI slides the door closed as the van drives off. There are 2 coffins in the van and NAPOLI and CHESTER the JESTER place the unconscious cops into a coffin. NAPOLI instructs SEBASTIAN to relocate to the hideout to dump the bodies. NAPOLI, CHESTER and SEBASTIAN drive to the “good spot” to stash the bodies.
They all enter a shady looking facility. NAPOLI questions CHESTER on the cement and CHESTER shows the containers to NAPOLI. NAPOLI rubs his gloved hands together and responds with “excellent!!!” NAPOLI walks over to the corner and arrives back with 2 heavy buckets of wet cement. 2 empty metal trash cans sit in the room’s center and CHESTER wheels the caskets over to them.
CHESTER and SEBASTIAN open the 1st casket and share the weight of hanging his upper body over the trash can while his legs flop on the inside of the can. NAPOLI then pours as much
37
cement as needed to cover their bodies’ hip down. NAPOLI looks up at the ceiling, makes an animated face as the camera moves down to see him pull out his silenced pink pistol. NAPOLI shoots the officer in the head. NAPOLI shouts out “Bingo!!!”
NAPOLI asks to leave the vicinity and come back once this cement is concrete. “Then we begin principal photography.” This refers to the scene where the 10 cops get dumped into a NYC River. We cut back to SPENCER and TEL AVIV’s law conversation. TEL AVIV continues writing down these detailed notes.
SPENCER
Part II of preservation of evidence AVIV; evidence seeming to be favorable to a suspect and the suspect would be unable to replace should not be destroyed by law enforcement officers. Next chapter, last one actually: entrapment; a person “entrapped” into committing a crime is immune from prosecution for that crime. Entrapment occurs when law officers or their agents implant in an innocent man’s mind the disposition to commit a crime and then induce him to commit the crime so they can prosecute him. Merely giving a person who is already predisposed to commit a crime the opportunity to do so is not entrapment.
Well that is all for today Ms. TEL AVIV. I hope your thirst for criminal law knowledge and police procedures are temporarily satisfied.
TEL AVIV
Oh yes, I am so ready to build a case study around this information. I’ll email it to you once it’s entirely completed. Ok?
SPENCER
Sounds grand! Have a great remainder of the afternoon.
TEL AVIV stands up and exits the building.
We cut to NAPOLI and TEL AVIV walking out of a restaurant months before she returned to Sweden. As they pass a nearby river they notice a white girl fall into the river. NAPOLI selflessly jumps into the river and rescues the child along with help from her father. News crews begin to arrive on the scene. NAPOLI refuses to comment and he and TEL AVIV catch a ride back to her apartment.
We cut to a recap of every single police officer who was murdered or at least injured throughout the film. The montage will be accompanied by Lupe Fiasco’s “Little Weapon” from his “The Cool” album. We cut to different scenes of all the minor characters in the film, (SAM, CHARLIE, JAFAR, SASHA, CARTER and a few others) watching the news. The news anchors discuss the
38 recent events where over 100 hundred police officers were murdered over the last week. All the characters display their individual concerns. The news then reports supposedly a terrorist has sent in a videotape possibly containing unreachable demands. NAPOLI’s 1st video begins to play on the television screens. We hear “ladies and gentlemen, salutations.” And we
FADE TO BLACK
o 1. There was a conversation I was having with a friend a yr ago and he brought this observation to my attention. “If a domesticated housecat were the same size as the bigger cats, they wouldn’t be housecats anymore basically.” I like that idea, just have to figure out how to explain it, soon enough. Any ideas? There is a chance I can include this story with the shark one, not sure yet. If I do I haven’t decided if the cats will help the people from the sharks or assist the sharks, maybe both. To the cats the sharks can be tuna out the can. “No Ceilings Got dammit now the frikkin sky showing UGH!!!”

- The working title of this movie is “Ah Hell Naw!” it’s a reactionary title due to the synopsis. It is intended to be a horror-comedy but the scarier We can get it the better. There have been so many horror movies made over the decades it’s challenging to bring an original concept to the table. And here it is courtesy of YOUNG MONEY FILMS: I was walking around in my old job many months ago and I was carrying a notebook to log down ideas in like I always do. It got me thinking, the scariest thing to me personally as a creative artist, would be if something was hell bent on stealing my ideas. Like Wayne just imagine, some devilish creature ACTUALLY stealing your rhymes before you can record them and completely wiping your memory of it. It never fails, you think it, and they snatch, just leaving you blinking. A
41
creature whose purpose was to steal your drive, your passions, your hobbies, is basically stealing your life force. They just leave you lethargic. To some people, this is worse than death. I’m combining this idea with one just recently being sent to me from OUR GOD. I want these same creatures to attack you while you’re performing productive activities. You’re taking a shower and they’re after you. They catch you making up your bed, you’re toast. Washing the dishes? Oh hell Naw, you’re dead motherfrikking meat then! Washing the car, same thing. One of their catchphrases while attacking you will be “Yebba de dep”. I haven’t figured out if everyone attacked will die because the point is to let them live meaningless existences. It’s going to end up being extremely funny. I did figure out the human being responsible for these creatures spread thru suburbia and he’ll lose his life by the creature’s hands as well. I want these creatures to have EXTREME SWAG! The working taglines are “Lethargy anyone?” and “Where only the lazy survive!” the overruling theme throughout will be CHORES DO NOT KILL anyone, so do them. People don’t get attacked while taking showers and washing the dishes, most times. My older brother and I argue about the dishes because he’s 28 and he just expects me to clean all the dishes when he only cooks for himself. And thus this movie was born. I hope you see potential because I do, I’m currently asking GOD for inspiration for their physical appearance, demeanor and disposition. The other theme will be balance between ambition and lethargy because even the lazy will be attacked, just for the hell of it. Now you probably understand why it’s titled “Aw Hell Naw!” 2. Steven Spielberg scared the crap out of the world when he created
“Jaws”. The next YOUNG MONEY FILMS commercial hit is this: over the last million years, the oceans began drying up and sharks began evolving to live on land. They operate like big cats do basically. Where “Jaws” made it unsafe for people to swim, this makes it unsafe for people to be outside period. That’s what makes it so scary, in “Jaws” you had to swim to be a victim, here it is so different. Its not realistic but once immersed in the story, you are so happy it may never happen. And if Sharks do in fact evolve to live on land, we called it 1st with GOD’s help. I want these sharks to pounce like tigers, lions and panthers. I even want them to evolve to the point where they have wings. It will be a fantasy and all the explanations come from evolution, not genetic mutation, that’s outdated. Where the Jaws poster had the shark swallowing a person from the bottom, our film
42
will have the Great white shark swallowing the person from the top; he’s flying down. I see so much potential in this film particularly. 3. There was a conversation I was having with a friend a yr ago and he brought this observation to my attention. “If a domesticated housecat were the same size as the bigger cats, they wouldn’t be housecats anymore basically.” I like that idea, just have to figure out how to explain it, soon enough. Any ideas? There is a chance I can include this story with the shark one, not sure yet. If I do I haven’t decided if the cats will help the people from the sharks or what, maybe both. To the cats the sharks can be tuna out the can. “No Ceilings Got dammit now the frikkin sky showing!!!”

The following are Short Film treatments
Treatment# 1:
“You know what would be good for You? Creating Commercials!
A group of guys dressed in all yellow rainbow colors or tie dye continually robbing people on camera The victims never truly see it coming because they are immersed into their reading The victims will be walking down the street reading their books oblivious to the crimes being planned and plotted against them
These groups of armed burglars and shop lifters specialize in one thing stealing innocent people s books These crooks love to read and apply the knowledge they learned (The camera will catch them robbing small book stores of their entire inventory) They will then photo read the books and re sell them on Amazon thus creating a huge fan base and income window
They beat the stuffing out of the kids they catch reading in public humiliating them purposely (Once funding gets better We can show different sets of these groups all over the state, country and world). They can be seen emptying out their duffle bags full of stolen books and book lights on
43 their hide out tables They will be as excited as a group of bank robbers who pulled off 1000 successful heists while invisible
The moral of the short film will be promoting reading because it is not nearly as dangerous as the short film suggests. The film actors will mock the average viewer’s inability to choose reading as an active pastime by looking directly into the camera’s eye and screaming out “And We better not catch You slipping up either...”
The Screenplay
EXT. On the main road –DAY
Jimmy Jam Shot is walking down His neighborhood’s main road reading His newest book. Two other shady characters, REOUS and SEBASTIAN, are plotting to escape with Jimmy’s books.
JIMMY JAM SHOT
...the best way to gain an attractive status with Women is to improve You constantly. Women love what they can not have and nothing is more attractive than a busy and successful male figure. If ladies see You constantly around town filming movies...they are going to be crawling ALL OVER YOU.
REOUS decides this is the perfect time to pull off the information abduction. He pulls out the unseen part of His baseball bat and prepares to “crack an effendi skull.”
REOUS
Right...now
REOUS and SEBASTIAN begin to pace quickly towards JIMMY JAM SHOT. JIMMY is so into His book He doesn’t see the pre-planned ambush in pre-production.
JIMMY JAM SHOT
44
What in the ---?
At this point in time, REOUS and SEBASTIAN initiate the beat down on JIMMY. JIMMY is totally unaware of the imminent danger He is in when it starts. The first strike is a blow to His neck and head area with a wooden baseball bat. REOUS hits JIMMY first and SEBASTIAN follows up with a thoroughly placed hit to the knee cap. By this time JIMMY is on the ground screaming in agony’s pain. (These scenes will all feature the freeze frame. Right before the bat connects with His different body parts, the camera will just freeze the current frame. The viewers will assume JIMMY was effectively hit by each blow because His body will keep assuming the new injured positions.)
JIMMY JAM SHOT
Please... just take it...I don’t want it anymore, DAMN!
Also, JIMMY is giving up His books, His most valuable assets at this point in time. He tosses the books further away from His body to avoid further physical damage. REOUS and SEBASTIAN begin to run off with a bag full of books courtesy of JIMMY JAM JAM. JIMMY tries to regain His physical composure but is heavily unable to do so.
INT. REOUS’ hideout spot –NIGHT
REOUS and SEBASTIAN are so excited to witness the sun set on another successful mission. They receive extreme thrills from robbing people only for their books and reading materials. SEBASTIAN empties out all the contents of the first bag. They have collected three bags full of books today. SEBASTIAN
Now I know this wasn’t the most successful day We’ve had in recent months...but Woo Gee Jolly Christopher, We are effectively in business.
REOUS and SEBASTIAN are researching how much the books they have “collected” are worth online. They are consulting Amazon’s website, entering the ISBN numbers from the book’s back covers.
REOUS
How to be a better macaroni!—worth $12.00 Used.
10 better tips to employ in Your employment search--$5.00 Used
The 100 most successful seducers of all time--$7.77 Used
Make More Money by Speaking--$11.00 Used
45
How to run an effective farmer’s market grocery chain--$22.00 Used
SEBASTIAN
Bingo! That is $57.77 U.S. currency My good man. Look’s like We can just stop here. No need for greediness My man. So You know the protocol way before We even THINK about selling one book online
They both respond in harmonious unison
SEBASTIAN and REOUS at the same time
PHOTOREADING!!!
INT. SEBASTIAN’s private study room --DAY
The scene now switches to just SEBASTIAN sitting in His “private study” located inside His hideout. He is sitting formally, with His right ankle on top of His left knee while reading. He looks up towards the camera and addresses the viewers. He begins to briefly break down the most important steps to the Photo-reading process.
He has one of His archive’s books in His hand for the presentation
SEBASTIAN
First step is to tell Yourself what the purpose of reading the publication is in the first place. The 2nd step is to spend no more than 3 seconds on each page. This should take You about 10 minutes tops, maybe 30 minutes. This is labeled the previewing process. What previewing does is conditions Your mind to the format of the book. After previewing, You are aware of all the sub-chapters, the charts, graphs, boxed in sections, author’s notes and any other surprises. Previewing is similar to coming to grips with all the food located on Your dinner plate. It is easy to become confused in the 1st 20 pages of a 320pg novel.
The 3rd step is the actual photo-reading process. This is where You stare at the middle of the page. Your peripheral vision should be able to absorb both pages at thee same time at this point. This process stores all the pages into Your subconscious mind. This is a time consuming process and from experience, I recommend keeping a list of the exact phase You are in with each particular book. The more books You engage, the easier it is to forget where You are in certain books. It is not the most encouraging feeling.
Now tis is the funniest part; The incubation section. Incubation is when You let each book relax in Your mind for at least 24 hours or overnight. This is where
46 metaphysics comes into play because You have all the information in Your brain; You just are not aware You are using it. Here, awareness is important though. Put the book up until You wake up now.
Once the book is effectively incubated, rapid reading is the next step. Rapid Reading is when You read every word as quickly or as slowly as You desire. Throughout this entire process, You should feel déjà vu. It should seem as if You have read through this information before; because in essence, You really have. This is where the majority of laughs will take place. Before You can get to the rapid reading section, You must first let the material incubate itself inside Your mind. This is where the most evident benefit stemming from photo-reading is visible. While the first book is incubating, You are encouraged to preview and photo-reading at least two other books. Attempt to photo-read two books per night, and in 2 to 3yrs tops; You will be an expert in at least one field You find interesting. Now what’s better than that home-skillet?

He will look incredibly frustrated due to the stressing aspects of the “current situation”. He will verbally inform the viewer of just how aggravated He is at C.L.’s responses. He finishes by saying: “You know what viewer? I won’t stress it...Not at all. I’m just going to keep a cool demeanor and initiate another conversation with a female; right in front of C.L. From C.L. to C.L.” The scene switches back to “the present moment” where C.L. is ignoring Chad.

Treatment #3- Being More Responsible and Responsive
(This short will start with Chad sitting in a deli speaking to a former co worker They are discussing life at the present moment and the mistakes Chad made in the past resulting in Him getting fired Chad let s Sissy know He is really broken up over the consequences His actions held in store for Him ) Sissy tells Chad at this point He didn t do anything wrong just because He admitted everything He did wrong She tells Chad; now the issue is the other girl involved is the one lying Chad understands how other people ARE involved in the situation but He doesn t forget HIS ACTIONS got Him fired It is just so easy for Me to blame any one else for what happened to Me But the fact remains; I did this to Myself This short will mainly just focus on the conversation between the two companions The visual effects are still undecided Chad lets Sissy know; the only way He is going to get C L back into His life is to become the most Successful person anyone has ever observed The irony is once I am this successful My options will be damn near unlimited Sissy laughs uncontrollably for 30 seconds and then recites Mike Jones Back then they didn t want Me now I m hot they re all on Me Now the scene can switch to Chad sitting down in a chair talking to the camera. He could be explaining how being more responsive helped Him earn Sissy’s respect. “It’s not about earning Her respect. It’s more about following through with Your spiritual principles all the time. And that earns people’s respect all the time.”
Treatment #4- Work On Yourself instead of Women
I used to work at a Supermarket and while there I worked on Myself NOT on the Women but on Myself I can only change Myself and You can only change Yourself Nothing ever has to be entirely TRUE If things are not going Your way and Your first thought is to change another You are playing for the wrong team The best way to a Woman s Romantic Yin Energy is to Change Yourself first Your Perspectives Perceptions and Life Results will have little choice but to change afterwards
48 This short will start off with Chad plucking His bookshelf Plucking His bookshelf is when Chad stuffs His most valuable unread books into His bag before He leaves the house You will also observe Him putting three pens into His pocket One for lending out which may never be returned and two for Me to transcribe Our ideas 3 pens have little use without an empty notebook to write special ideas in so Chad of course includes one The scene shifts to where You see Chad sitting in the middle of social group conversing He is the most silent because His self defined purpose is not conversing He is working on Himself Almost everybody around Him knows about Him He just chooses to be self sufficient at the present moment The simple fact He is so indulgent into His work makes the group s majority just wonder and ponder about His intentions At some point the group decides to include Chad in the conversation. Chad secretly intended this because His props had been in place. His “conversational props” include His laptop, headphones, music, books, pens, notepads and self sufficient, positive mental attitude. “With all these items in place, it is tempting for a stranger not to ‘initiate’ small talk.”

Treatment #6-Formal Conditioning Riot continued
This scene will focus on “Troy the Light Casey” aka “J Quest” meditating in His own special way. These next scenes will heavily illustrate the difference of perspective and routines when approaching meditation according to different souls. Troy the Light WILL NOT be seen throwing His books. Instead, the viewers will observe Him collapsing on the floor in laughter because of what He has just internalized. The next scene will show both Chad and Troy in a grocery store “picking up women” together. Chad will have Mystery’s “Pick Up Artist” in hand; Troy will have “The Game” by Neil Strauss. They will then be seen switching books and then initiating conversations with various women.
The short will conclude with both Troy and Chad letting their respective women read separate excerpts from the text resulting in different situations. Troy will induce “His female” into a fainting episode; He will then catch Her and kiss Her intensely. She will then wake up thank Him for His efforts and pull Him outside the store while declaring “Have I got an assignment for You sweet cheeks.” Chad’s female will be outrageously offended by His chosen paragraph and will bend over and punch His chest and abdomen with both fists. Another lady will have crept behind Chad by this time and is awaiting Her friend’s punch. The punch causes Chad to stumble over the other female. He laughs out of shock and necessity as He falls to the ground. While Chad falls to the ground, Brendan will throw a bunch of His notes into the air for an added effect.
Brendan will now pop up over a freeze frame and state: “Now I know that was funny...it was...My moms still laughing. Now check this result out. In this scene, the lady will still react in a hostile manner. This time the female will perform a spinning kick to Chad’s face. (I have yet to come up with a special effect for this so I just may be kicked in My face in reality.) Now the captions will read: “To avoid disastrous consequences of this nature...Be sure You have fully conditioned Yourself formally.”
Treatment #7-Creating a Powerful Self Image You Love Now for FREE!!!
This scene will begin with Chad living in His bathroom mirror He will be observed listening to His favorite positive mood inducing music while dancing with His shirt off He will have a list of His favorite and most positive aspects ABOUT HIMSELF in which He recites with the upmost sincerity and confidence in Himself He will ask Himself on camera What type of person shall I die AS Chad WICK?!?? Chad will then list the qualities the dead Chad will have possessed before that fateful time Chad will also introduce the viewers to the 3 Dimensional Image theory by using His pyramid example Once the pyramid tidbit is finished He will encourage the viewers to clear up the image they see of themselves He
50
will deliver a 30 second speech based upon Association and Human Development The short will conclude with Chad asking the viewers Are You the Person You would like to Be?

2023.03.25 17:35 FitInvestigator5945 NAPOLI FILM
AS ALWAYS!!!
The two cousins begin to pay homage to their favorite film “Pulp Fiction” by imitating the “famous dance scene”. DAVE is Uma Thurman and CANDICE is John Travolta and they have the twisting steps down to a “T”.
63 The animation now freezes and flashback proceeds to take over the show for the current moment.
CANDICE
You see “Wonderful as Always” is my at work catch phrase DAVE and I came up with while reading some customer service enhancement techniques on the internet. This is something most people slash workers just don’t do. It is almost as if to these books, they are allergic, which only helps them become more and more socially lethargic. My positive life philosophy is the surgeon; therefore I am...and I am the sergeant. Napoleon Hill’s Law of Success textbook teaches us many stores sell the same famous product. The famous product itself has all the credibility in the world, to sell itself. The competitive part however, is which local store will receive the eager customers wishing to purchase what they were told they needed on the idiot box aka...the television? Napoleon Hill lists almost 18 success principles and I HEREBY REFUSE TO TELL ALL 18 OF THEM TO THE LIKES OF YOU!!!
CANDICE stands up in an outraged manner and storms over to the camera screen fast. He then points his finger at the observing audience for a second before he reveals his playful attitude towards the subject.
CANDICE
I will however; give you a few. PENS AND PAPERS OUT NOW!!!
CANDICE points his fingers down until they hit a nearby table hard. A semi loud thud is heard and his facial expression resembles sludge because his features are being dragged down for dramatic effect. After all, this is an animation.
CANDICE
Snippet numeral Uno: A pleasing, energetic, magnetic and highly adaptable social personality is BY FAR, the best weapon a salesperson can ever have. Do not ever be fooled by your actual positions people;
The camera zooms in on CANDICE’s face and a sly, slick, maneuvering expression overcomes his face
CANDICE
Everybody sells something (laughing). It may be a hamburger, a double whopper with cheese, antique chessboards, TV show seasons on DVD, groceries, car parts, cars themselves...or it may just be yourself as a likable person. No matter what actual product you do sell, always remember it is only of secondary importance. Your personality is the primary product you sell. You can sell a blind person a package of college ruled writing paper...if he likes you enough. You have to aspire to become the most successful person who is not in your family. And if one of your family members just happens to truly be the most successful person in the world, then go ahead and break this rule. Once you continue pursuing to be the most successful person you know, in a month or 6...you shall observe some wondrous results...as always.
Now the greatest obstacle slash challenge with this practice for the average newcomer is this:
64 CANDICE assumes the facial expression of an ashamed toddler in trouble. He is in the following statements, mocking the people who don’t believe in themselves enough to entertain their respective customers with their pleasing personalities.
But everyday is just not really wonderful. I don’t have to lie to these customers to sell them some sugarcane now do I Chizzy?
No man, no...the answer is no. You do not have to in fact lie to our precious customers. YOU HAVE TO LIE TO YOURSELF YA FOOL!!! Everybody has trials, everybody has tribulations, and everybody faces daily hardships and adversities. What separates the beyond great from the below average is the ability to put aside their personal grievances and setbacks...and make the customer feel better about theirs. You just have to constantly remember FREDERICK; the customer has her own issues to deal with. And instead of dealing with these issues, she is shopping at the store you are currently working for. Maybe by shopping at your place of employment she is solving some of her issues...but most likely not. In that case, also remember FREDDY that your customers have probably shopped at your job way before it was, your job; and they just may continue to shop there once you leave for whatever reason, if you don’t scare them off with your negative attitude first. Now here is the fun part, there is a small majority of workers spread sparsely throughout the entire world responsible for a great number of their customer’s many visits to the shop in which they are employed. How do they accomplish this almost impossible task you ask? They do it by making the customers feel at peace and at home. Every customer does not reside in a peaceful abode, and the grandest of all the employees recognize this fact because maybe, they don’t either. For the great servicemen, work is an opportunity to escape their annoyingly rude 9yr old niece and her highly ignorant father. Work for them is an opportunity to learn how to treat people, how to interact with people of all different characteristics. It provides them the chance to treat an 80yr old female patron special, in front of the finest 26yr old model looking customer named Ms. Angel they have ever witnessed.
If that monologue didn’t convey the obvious benefits to you pimping, check this one out:
You have problems and so do your customers. So if you just happened to radiate a more positive outlook than anyone else around you; by law it would have to rub off on those whom you come into contact with for long periods of time. The formula is simple: make 100 people feel better and more at peace with their current situations and your personal problems take a back seat to the new attention you so often receive now. Do not ever forget FREDDY; you ARE going to receive a ton of positive press for this new found spiritual mentality. Once again, the formula is simple, guaranteed and proven to attain easy, free results: make 100 people laugh in one day and your problems seem much less relevant. I promise FREDDY, I promise.
The screen now turns black and a loud voice
JOEY
WARNING, WARNING! HEY SPOILER ALERT NNA
The screen fades back in with Chizzy resuming his informing rant
CANDICE
65 Now since the fun parts over, here comes the emotionally troubling part of this equation: The first 2months of this new mentality is going to bring many rumors your way. A few people are going to constantly accuse you or at least spread behind your back rumors of you being some type of drug addict. This is just a defense mechanism for the self conscious and insecure people who just can not understand why you are so “damn positive all the time”. By the time 6months rolls around, you should be a local celebrity. When you walk in the store with your uniform on, ready to clock in and perform your easy duties ever so wonderfully as always; the business patrons will be watching you. They were thinking about you. After all, you did a great job charming them. They walked into the store hoping they would run into you at the register right before they left the vicinity. The wives tell their husbands about you, they tell their sisters and girlfriends about your past conversations as well. The husbands may not be so chatty however. You often secretly know why people leave from other cashier’s registers just to be serviced by you. Why do they love you so much though? It is actually very, very simple. When they first walk up to you, they hear you thanking the previous customer for shopping at “enter your establishment here”. They secretly observed how well you interact with all the other customers, even the rare or not so rare rude customers. When you are ringing up their items you ask them how they are doing today. They give you a semi authentic answer sometimes. You have an ability to force them to reveal their positive side by pulling yours out first and SHOOTING THEM IN THE FACE
This is an exaggeration as well as a double meaning, which forces a laugh out of CANDICE
CANDICE
When they ask you in return the same question your reply is much more authentic. “Wonderful as Always” is your answer and the following is the breakdown. The word wonderful is in fact a wonderful word. What makes this phrase catchy and memorable are the last two words. By telling your customers you are doing wonderful, they will feel slightly elated but nevertheless they will just later brush it off as a temporary state. Maybe you are just doing wonderful for today. But no FREDDY, this is a huge mistake. Never let these people confuse you with the average frustrated chump worker bee. You my friend are an uncompromising genius. Now on the other hand, the “as always” part of this equation; creates a fantasy world in which you successfully live in. The “as always” immediately isolates you from the remaining employed staff members. This, “as always” forces the customer to fantasize about you. It forces them to imagine you as a person, so damn happy, every day of the week. Now the truth of the matter is, there are only a few people in this world who feel wonderful every day and in every way.
These people are the ones who understand “now moments”. Now moments simply represent the present moment. The only thing we humans ever truly “posses” is; the present moment. Every funny memory, every horrible memory and every future memory occurs in the present moment. The present moment is always changing and will always change. Every person has a mental ego; that negative inner voice which is always trying to judge what we see on the daily. It is always trying to convince us we are under siege, a threat is always near. Life only rarely gives us threatening situations. The funniest thing about it is; even in those times, we are still not facing eradication.
CANDICE looks down with desperation and a bit of confusion all over his face
CANDICE
I still haven’t figured this part out yet...soon enough though.
66 CANDICE then resumes that familiar pleasant facial expression he is so known for.
CANDICE
The easiest way to live peacefully is to understand now moments. A now moment is only meant to be appreciated. God’s universe gives us laws concerning appreciation. Statistically speaking, if we find 100 things in our current life situation to be grateful for, who’s to say God herself won’t give us 100 more things to be grateful for. Now wouldn’t that be great? So once we combine the law of gratitude with all the present moments, we receive a much more abundant life situation.
Now we have just stumbled into a wonderful conversational topic right here. What is the difference between your life and your life situation? Your life is just the culmination of everything you do; it can not be changed. Your life situation on the other hand, is every thing you can remember. All of these events are just your temporary life situation. Your life situation always changes. Now speaking of changing, I’m hopping in the shower.
CANDICE begins to stand and starts singing his famous shower tune.
CANDICE
I’m hopping in the shower. I’m going to need about an hour, while I hop up in the shower.
CANDICE walks to the last step and the camera will freeze. Once the camera resume, CANDICE will be at the first step of the flight.
INT. DAY. CANDICE’s bathroom
The camera will once again freeze and transition. The next time you see CANDICE, he will be in the foggy/misty shower booth.
The camera goes into a split screen. One side shows CANDICE washing up his upper body in the shower and the other side shows CANDICE’s girlfriend ASHLEIGH SATURDAY, knocking on the front door. CANDICE’s mom PATRICIA answers the door
EXT. DAY OUTSIDE OF CANDICE’s MOM’s HOUSE
PATRICIA
Good afternoon ASHLEIGH, how was work?
ASHLEIGH
It was ok until your son clocked out on me.
PATRICIA
That sure sounds like a nice compliment to me.
ASHLEIGH
67
Speaking of him, is he here?
PATRICIA
I believe he is; he is however in the shower. Would you like to wait for him? He should be on his way out very soon, or he’ll be paying for the water bill.
ASHLEIGH
Oh yes, Ma’am! ASHLEIGH wouldn’t have it any other way.
INT. DAY, CANDICE’s ROOM
ASHLEIGH proceeds to walk up the stairs to the second floor after Ms. PATRICIA asks her to step inside of the house. ASHLEIGH then decides over her options:
ASHLEIGH
Now I can get underneath his covers, make myself comfortable and pretend to be asleep inside of my own bed. Or I could matter of fact
ASHELIGH’s gaze heads over to CANDICE’s closet while she ponders her next move. She walks closer and closer to the closet until she is able to open it. She then opens it and finds a clean, crisp shirt which she presumes CANDICE will slide on after he successfully dries off his body. She knows CANDICE has just given away some of his smaller clothes and the proof of this is a big, empty space on the left of the shirt. She decides to position herself right there as she closes back the closet door.
INT. DAY, CANDICE’s BATHROOM
CANDICE is now dressing his lower body (socks, undergarments, and khaki shorts) right outside of the bathroom door. As he finishes, he slides over to the dirty clothes hamper and puts his dirty clothes “in their place”.
INT. DAY, CANDICE’s BEDROOM
As CANDICE enters his room with his towel around his neck, his intuition is buzzing with an incredible intensity. He can not put his finger on what is going on but listening to his intuition always feels so good. He tosses his towel onto his bed as he heads over to his closet to dress his upper body.
Right as he slides over the closet door, ASHLEIGH surprises him with an “attack kiss”. This surprise is so well planned it brings CANDICE to his left knee with his right foot positioned in the football huddle stance. ASHLEIGH then repositions herself so she is bending over him with their lips still in unison.
The camera now freezes on the couple kissing almost intensely. CANDICE now resumes narration of the story
68
CANDICE
Ah! ASHLEIGH NICOLE SATURDAY, the love of my life I hope. I’m young yes, almost 16; but still old enough to establish what makes me feel good. And this young lady right here, gee golly pish posh does she ever makes me feel good! I mean, way before we ever locked lips or even hugged. Her hugs feel better than her kisses to me sometimes. I love being the center of her attention. I myself am the center of other people’s attention so for her to be the center of mine; it is an outstanding accomplishment in its own right. Maybe she planned it like this, I know I didn’t. This is just the way God intended this situation to play out. The day I met ASHLEIGH was by far the best day of my entire life for several reasons. Turns out, I had interacted with ASHLEIGH 2 weeks before we were formally introduced. I had just printed out my 3rd official newsletter on positivity. I remember speaking to Monique one on one in the store’s deli café about something related. There she was, ASHLEIGH, sitting quietly and by herself at the table to our right. After my conversation with Monique was finished, I smoothly looked ASHLEIGH in her “gorgeous” eyes...passed an extra copy of the newsletter, asked her to read it for me and I left the store and went home.
I remember thinking, oh snap; if she’s too young I could get in trouble for giving her mature literature. So a few weeks later, on the day I was supposed to travel to Jacksonville, Florida, I met ASHLEIGH. I cancelled the trip due to lack of preparation. So on November 20th, instead of being in Jacksonville romancing a blind date, I had the exquisite pleasure of introducing myself formally to ASHLEIGH NICOLE SATURDAY on her 16th birthday mind you. I was off for that day and I was checking the schedule. I saw ASHLEIGH in her nicely ironed uniform and I failed to recognize her from before. It wasn’t until a month later that I made the connection. I loved shaking her hands. So the next few days, needless to say, I was smitten. I had this one other girl I was into at the job. She was into me as well but she had for the last year been romantically involved with another female who also worked with us. Cross that one off, now back to ASHLEIGH S. My job is to assist the customers and the cashiers along with a little handy work here and there. ASHLEIGH just so happens to be a cashier and it makes my job that much more interesting. I just feel so much calmer when I am under ASHLEIGH’s love spell. I never want to be around her more than when I am away from her. I am growing into a very independent young man but still; she affects me in a most positive manner. She is very mature, warm hearted, cool headed and an evenly balance individual. And she seems to like being an influential figure in my life as well.
CANDICE snaps back to “reality” once he notices ASHLEIGH has him face down in his bed sheets while she plays gleefully in his “long, silky, girly hair”.
CANDICE
Well since we are already here and ready...is ASHLEIGH thinking what CANDICE is thinking?
ASHLEIGH
Yes baby, of course I will braid your locks up if you’re patient enough boo. What were you just thinking about? You seemed pretty far gone yet I could still feel your presence...it was very weird.
CANDICE
Well of course ASHLEIGH, I was thinking ‘bout you boo. Why would I ever disrespect your company by thinking of anything...or even worse...any one else?
69
ASHLEIGH
I don’t know (very sarcastically)... every body makes mistakes
As ASHLEIGH says “every body makes mistakes” she playfully pushes CANDICE’s head back into his pillow
ASHLEIGH
So in what fashion were you thinking about me CANDICE? (She says CANDICE very strictly) What exact memory were you focusing on at the current moment?
ASHLEIGH whispers in CANDICE’s right ear in a very seductive and sexy manner “the current moment”. It is as if ASHLEIGH understands CANDICE’s thought process and what effect such an emphasis on those words would have on him.
So she taps his right shoulder twice while she sits on the edge of his bed. CANDICE understands the body language and sits down in-between ASHLEIGH’s legs in a non sexual manner so she can braid up his already locked up hair.
CANDICE
Well if you must know, NOZIPHO...I was re-imagining the best days of my life...the first month I interacted with you baby.
ASHLEIGH
Damn CHIZZY...you really know how to steal my emotions don’t you?
ASHLEIGH wipes a few oncoming tears from both cheeks and kisses the left side of CANDICE’s freshly cleaned neck. As ASHLEIGH begins the braiding, CANDICE resumes his ever so interesting monologue chronicling how he met ASHLEIGH in the first place
CANDICE
Now when I first became comfortable with ASHLEIGH...life appeared problem-less. There happened to be one problem however...it took the physical form of DUSTIN. Now DUSTIN is at this time, ASHLEIGH’s boyfriend of 3yrs. She told me she loved him still but she was no longer “in love” with him. Good for me in any case, but this would prove to be a most delicate situation. So how do you extract a young lady from a situation you helped her realize she no longer wants to be a participant in? The answer is so simple; you don’t. You can however, persuade her to extract herself. After all, it is she who is involved in the exclusive relationship. I only saw DUSTIN less than 10 times and I never wished to increase this count. Every time I saw him he seemed so quiet. Now there is nothing wrong with being quiet because I am quiet as well. His quiet accompanied a strange sense of insecurity however. I remembered ASHLEIGH showing me a few pictures on her phone of her and DUSTIN hanging out together. In the majority of the pictures, she was the only person actually smiling. To this day, I still have no clue what could have possibly been troubling him so
70 much that he felt it was politically incorrect to smile. Like did the camera man hold up a sign reading “show one tooth and I’m knocking all of them out!” with a sledge-hammer to go with it?
That’s the first time I realized I really wanted to be involved in an exclusive relationship with ASHLEIGH. I felt, if God gave me the opportunity, I wouldn’t let any of them down. It was so easy to visualize myself with her; once I was with her in my mind, I always saw myself smiling all the time like I was 5 again. There is a combination of innocence about ASHLEIGH as well as an undeniable sense of maturity about her. I know it’s obviously highly unfeasible for one person to possess both spiritual qualities...but her spirit is aligned enough to balance out both. I mean, simply put, she gets it in.
So if CANDICE is making ASHLEIGH out to be the “perfect woman for him”, then traditionally speaking, she must have been another man’s trash. The worst thing DUSTIN ever did was give me the opportunity to:
The screen fades out and JOEY cuts in once more for comedic effect.
JOEY
Immerse yo chick in a world of...FAN-TA-SAE-(drag out “SAE” for as long as possible) YEA- AH
Now back to CANDICE and his monologue
CANDICE
So once I had the chance to completely immerse ASHLEIGH SATURDAY into my world of constant, entertaining and self-improving adventure, their relationship was over. And I never had to kiss her; but I still did it anyway (laughs). Here’s how it happened: I had to work on a Saturday coincidentally and so did ASHLEIGH. I was scheduled for 2PM Eastern time but I was “on site” by noon, I just hate to be late anywhere. Little did I know however, God had placed me in a position to view ASHLEIGH in an emotional state she didn’t want me to see her in. ASHLEIGH decided to switch shifts with another worker JACKIE but I just didn’t know why. Jackie’s original Sat. shift was from 7AM until 2PM with a noon lunch break. I worked the same shift as ASHLEIGH’s original shift, 2PM until closing, 11PM. JACKIE is cool too, she’s just 10 yrs older than I am but nevertheless; the successful adapt to their ever changing life situations. What ASHLEIGH did not expect however, was me “waiting” for her while she went on her noon lunch break in the deli café. When I laid my eyes on her face for the first time that day, I flinched, and I never, ever flinch. I flinched because her boyfriend had obviously beaten the
The screen turns black and JOEY cuts in for a brief moment.
JOEY
CHILL OUT!!!
Back to CANDICE.
CANDICE
Out of her. So I immediately moved my chair closer to hers. What happened to your face ASHLEIGH SATURDAY!?!
71
ASHLEIGH
I don’t know...I guess I fell in my asleep
CANDICE
Ok, so now I’m stupid right? Looks to us like you fell victim to an unfair beat-down...that’s what it looks like.
ASHLEIGH
Wait a minute...who’s “us”? It is only us here.
CANDICE
“Us” is the lie detection agency and I.
CANDICE’s intuition was on point once again. That silly comment succeeded in making ASHLEIGH laugh.
ASHLEIGH
Now I can’t even stay mad at you CHIZZY
CANDICE
Wait...hold up a good minute! Why in the hill would you be upset with me? I mean, I didn’t do this to you.
ASHLEIGH looks down to a dead bug on the floor in despair as she prepares her response.
ASHLEIGH
I know you didn’t CANDICE, but DUSTIN thinks you and I have a romantic affair going on.
CANDICE takes a long sip like gulp from his sprite, places the cup back down on the coaster, wipes the moisture off from around his growing mustache and smiles. His next words exit one at a time in a very slow, seductive and hypnotic manner.
CANDICE
But...there...is...nothing...going...on...between...us...Simply put, you are not my type and you could never be so lucky.
CANDICE looks away as he declares “You are not my type and you could never be so lucky.” He then resumes with the eye contact. He can tell by the look on her face, which comment stunned her expectations obviously hurting her feelings in the process.
CANDICE then places his right hand on top of her left.
72
CANDICE
I was just fooling around with you ASHLEIGH, you should know without a doubt’s shadow I care about you...too much in fact for you to be “someone else’s girlfriend”.
ASHLEIGH
Well if you think I would actually stay in an abusive relationship with anyone, including that jerk-off DUSTIN; then I guess you are pretty stupid. My father never hit me and no one else will either...ever.
CANDICE smiles at this comment realizing his opportunity for a relationship with ASHLEIGH...finally. ASHLEIGH stands up, preparing to fix her something to eat. CANDICE stands up and positions his body right in front of her.
CANDICE
So what are you saying ASHLEIGH NICOLE?
ASHLEIGH
I’m just letting prospective investors now what’s on the emotional market.
ASHLEIGH laughs while she moves a strand of hair from the side of her face back to its original position. CANDICE notices this as an easy sign of attraction and indicator of interest.
CANDICE
So um...would you like to be my last girlfriend?
ASHLEIGH
HILL NO (with a sincere smile)
CANDICE
Well if that’s the case ASHLEIGH...I never said you could. I could just tell something was troubling you.
ASHLEIGH walks over to CANDICE slowly but surely, in an almost deliberate way.
ASHLEIGH
Oh! You could just tell huh? Well what’s troubling me is the fact you took my first answer seriously.
CANDICE
ASHLEIGH please, I hardly take anything you say serious...let alone at face value.
CANDICE rubs his right index finger across the left side of ASHLEIGH’s cheeks, wiping off the remaining tears as he says “let alone at face value”.
73
ASHLEIGH
So ask me again...please
ASHLEIGH maintains eye contact with CANDICE as she un-buttons the top button of his uniform shirt.
CANDICE
ASHLEIGH NICOLE SATURDAY...please be my first girlfriend
ASHLEIGH
I thought at first you said last?
CANDICE
Yea I know...I can play games a little bit too ASH. First, last, it just doesn’t matter; what matters is you are my present moment...and present moments last forever.
ASHLEIGH looks up at CANDICE like she never has before but always does now- a-days.
ASHLEIGH
You mean I’m your every thing?
CANDICE
Every since your last birthday my little personal watermelon...pun intended.
ASHLEIGH takes one step closer to CANDICE and this leaves no “personal space” in-between them. CANDICE takes a step back to test her. ASHLEIGH complies by once again stepping closer to him.
ASHLEIGH
So what now?
CANDICE
Well, first things first; I help you forget about your troubled past relationship.
ASHLEIGH
Well if I may interject; isn’t that what got us into trouble CANDICE?
ASHLEIGH smiles as she grabs hold of CANDICE’s hand and places it on her face so he could rub it smoothly once more. She has already grown accustomed to his serene touch.
CANDICE
74 Hold up, I’m not in trouble. It’s a real shame what he did to you...a damn shame. Inside this temporary tragedy however; God gave me what I wanted most; you ASHLEIGH, you. All I wanted was an opportunity to rightfully be able to do this;
CANDICE lifts up ASHLEIGH’s chin and attempts to kiss her. By this point his hand is supporting her neck and he felt her shake at the impact; she likes it. The kiss itself lasts for about 30 seconds. One second for every day he knew her before they were an “exclusive item”. The kiss ends...for now.
CANDICE
So how long do you have on your break again?
CANDICE and ASHLEIGH both look at their respective watch and cell phone. When ASHLEIGH opens up her phone, she is reminded of DUSTIN because an older picture of them serves as her backgrounds. She snaps a quick picture of CANDICE and proceeds to make that one her new background wallpaper.
ASHLEIGH
Aw! Now that’s better boo boo. You are so much cuter than him anyway. It is now 12:10PM and I have 20 minutes left boo. Why, what do you want to do with me CANDICE darling?
CANDICE
Treat you to a healthy lunch while we discuss “trivial” matters of no real importance.
ASHLEIGH
Ooh, aren’t you the eventful new boyfriend?
ASHLEIGH and CANDICE begin to pack up their stuff and visit the Chinese based restaurant located in the same shopping plaza as their place of employment. The camera will freeze frame and fade to white as they leave the building.
CANDICE’s monologue is finally over and now we observe him with 75% of his hair braided. His eyes were closed the entire time and he now re-opens them.
ASHLEIGH
So you back now CANDY?
CANDICE
Yes baby, CANDY’s back in effect
ASHLEIGH
You know DUSTIN came by house yesterday night, around 9PM Eastern time?
CANDICE
75
Andddd? What else happened?
ASHLEIGH
Nothing too significant or romantic or anything, he just came by to apologize again...for what happened between us. He seems to be really broken up by it.
CANDICE
Well I’m sure he is...I’d be broken up too if I was in his position. Once my mother found out I hit you, regardless of the situation I would be even more broken.
They both share a hearty laugh together.
CANDICE
So did you accept his apology again?
ASHLEIGH
As a matter of fact CANDICE, I did; under one simple condition. He is never to approach me anywhere without my non text message hand written note.
CANDICE
Jeesh, ASHLEIGH, seems like a considerable amount of “trouble” to go through just to communicate with him.
ASHLEIGH
That’s the point though CANDY, I have no interest in interacting with that...wonderful person.
They both realize the irony in ASHLEIGH’s words and resume their “couple’s laughter” once more.
CANDICE
Have you ever heard of the “mastermind principle” ASHLEIGH?
ASHLEIGH
Not at all, what is that? A new government mandate of some sort?
CANDICE
No silly, no.
CANDICE begins to laugh uncontrollably at ASHLEIGH’s “genuine answer”.
CANDICE
The mastermind principle is an older term coined by the great Napoleon Hill.
76
ASHLEIGH
Um, don’t you mean Napolean Bonaparte?
CANDICE once again finds this insanely comical and begins to outbursts so hard, ASHLEIGH has to stop braiding his hair and slap him upside his head.
ASHLEIGH
If you keep treating my answers like that, this is how you are walking around tomorrow. Now I suggest you respond to my answers like you have some foresight.
This in itself is a reference to one of the lessons Napoleon Hill teaches about. This reveals ASHLEIGH may in fact know more about Hill’s teachings than she admitted to.
CANDICE
Ok baby, ok, I apologize sincerely. Common mistake, (snickers) Napolean Bonaparte was an ancient conqueror and war lord. Napoleon Hill however, differed in many noticeable ways. Napoleon Hill was more interested in conquering the human mind to achieve greatness in any undertaking undertaken. So Hill spent about 2 consecutive decades researching the most prominent, industrious and wealthy people all over the country and maybe even the world. After these 20 yrs, his contact list was tremendously stupendous I would imagine.
ASHLEIGH
Yes I would too.
CANDICE
So anyway, Hill started off as some sort of journalist and his most recent assignment at the time was to interview United Steel Corporation legend Andrew Carnegie Sr. So Mr. Carnegie was so impressed with this young man for whatever reason, he offered him an once in a lifetime opportunity. Carnegie would set use his ever so abundant resources to set up several meetings with a few of his friends, some of the richest people ever creating their own first generation wealth. The catch was Hill would not be paid for his efforts; he was to assemble a success manual from all the hard hours he spent extracting personal information from these “industry giants”. He was given the opportunity to spend more time with these almost billionaires in a 20yr span than the “average person” is allotted in a life time. Plus not only was he allotted time with these people, but he had the reference from another person worth $500Million. What more could you ask for?
ASHLEIGH
A lifetime with you
They both realize her attempt to further humanize the moment with a soft sell and they kiss passionately before CANDICE resumes his dialogue.
CANDICE
77 Thank you hummingbird; almost done here. So Hill is at this point expected to interview every person he was sent to, determine what they back-stories were, their hardships and what drove them to acquire all of the wealth they did; their secrets to success if you would call it that. I would suppose Carnegie himself planned to profit from the book himself, once it was fully published and distributed. After all, his honorable mentions of the project along with his actual participation slash organization of the project should help the book sales too. His not initially getting paid was kind of a crummy deal but Carnegie’s point was; if the success manual truly worked, which it obviously did, then Hill would receive all the compensation he and his future generations would ever need in life. What Hill did not figure out until later was Carnegie believed men slow to reach a decision can never succeed. Carnegie was timing Hill’s answer, giving him only 60 seconds to comply or turn it down before he was ultimately disqualified.
ASHLEIGH
Ouch, so much suspense man!!!
CANDICE
Yes I know right...so anyway, Hill was smart enough to comply within 20 seconds or less. I’ll have to listen to the tapes again for the exact number of seconds. So to wrap up the story; he published the interviews into a book titled “Napoleon Hill’s the law of success in 17 or 18 lessons”. The book was so powerful, the most powerful people who control the world decided this manual was too intense for the masses and took it down.
ASHLEIGH
So what did Hill do after that? They just stripped away his new found source of residual income!!!
CANDICE
Please calm down baby, he just went back and stripped away some of the most powerful principles in the story. He then published another book called “Think and Grow Rich”. I remember purchasing the audio- book version and downloading the e-book version. The audio version is 8 hrs is long, which is long mind you. When compared to The Law of Success’ audio length, it is only 1/3rd, which is so tragic. I felt taken advantage of when I first realized this fact. So I downloaded the Law of Success and am STILL LISTENING TO IT. I mean, it is 24 freaking hrs long ASHLEIGH; that’s even a lot of knowledge for yours truly.
ASHLEIGH
So what does the “mastermind principle” have to do with Napoleon Hill, think and grow rich and the law of success?
CANDICE
Simple, the “mastermind principle” is just lesson number one or two believe. The mastermind states once a person has a definite aim to reach for, other people who desire to achieve the same goal should be gathered into a group.
ASHLEIGH
Ah Ha! The Mastermind incarnate!!!
78
CANDICE
Exactly baby, exact-a-mundo. Hill goes on to explain water itself is another mastermind.
ASHLEIGH
Oh yeah, two molecules of oxygen and one molecule of hydrogen.
CANDICE
I love you
He wipes off his tears after this heart-felt remark.
CANDICE
A table is a mastermind too; the wood and the legs, even the chairs. So the main ingredient of the mastermind following the definite purpose is harmony. Without harmony, the mastermind group can never ever exist. If harmony is kept in tact however, then the group’s members are able to tap into the subconscious mind of the remaining members.
ASHLEIGH
As long as the harmony remains!
CANDICE
You so have gotten the concept down-packed.
The remaining 25% of CANDICE’s hair is completely braided up. He stands up to conclude the story.
ASHLEIGH
GREAT story baby; only one question.
CANDICE
What is it baby?
ASHLEIGH
Please let me drive you over to my mom’s house for dinner. We are making salmon cakes and patties, then you can explain more about the mastermind and the “subconscious mind” I’ve never heard of that before.
CANDICE looks towards the camera in a completely stupefied manner. It is almost as if everyone he knows knows something about the “subconscious mind”. There is a strong probability ASHLEIGH knows more about the subconscious mind than CANDICE does; she just loves hearing him speak. It is her way of helping him gain more confidence in his oratory skills.
79 The camera moves out of the room as the passionate, young couple kiss and exits the house. Once the camera is outside, it turns up to show the serene looking sky. The viewers will hear the footsteps treading down the stairs.
EXT. NIGHT, CANDICE’s FRONT LAWN
ASHLEIGH and CANDICE exit the house and enter ASHLEIGH’s newly washed car.
INT. NIGHT, ASHLEIGH’s CAR
ASHLEIGH
You requested permission from your mother to leave the house and have dinner with my family?
CANDICE
HA...permission?
ASHLEIGH shoots a stern look in CANDICE’s direction, aimed only at him.
CANDICE
Of course baby, I was just playing
ASHLEIGH
That’s just what I thought
The camera slowly backs up and lifts up vertically as it observes the car drive off. CANDICE is heard repeating his ignorant phrase once again.
CANDICE
Ha! Permission...
ASHLEIGH is heard slapping him, presumably in the head
The End TUNECHI and Company
I would love a 6month internship with YOUNG MONEY FILMS because in reality,
6months is more than enough time to prove to you all just how valuable my presence
combined with my ideas is. God constantly gives me an abundance of wonderful ideas
and I would love an opportunity to prove myself.
If you actually made it to this page Wayne, I think it s safe to say I did and just
know my bags are packed and ready to go when you are Sir Tune. I also want to

AS ALWAYS!!!
The two cousins begin to pay homage to their favorite film “Pulp Fiction” by imitating the “famous dance scene”. DAVE is Uma Thurman and CANDICE is John Travolta and they have the twisting steps down to a “T”.
63 The animation now freezes and flashback proceeds to take over the show for the current moment.
CANDICE
You see “Wonderful as Always” is my at work catch phrase DAVE and I came up with while reading some customer service enhancement techniques on the internet. This is something most people slash workers just don’t do. It is almost as if to these books, they are allergic, which only helps them become more and more socially lethargic. My positive life philosophy is the surgeon; therefore I am...and I am the sergeant. Napoleon Hill’s Law of Success textbook teaches us many stores sell the same famous product. The famous product itself has all the credibility in the world, to sell itself. The competitive part however, is which local store will receive the eager customers wishing to purchase what they were told they needed on the idiot box aka...the television? Napoleon Hill lists almost 18 success principles and I HEREBY REFUSE TO TELL ALL 18 OF THEM TO THE LIKES OF YOU!!!
CANDICE stands up in an outraged manner and storms over to the camera screen fast. He then points his finger at the observing audience for a second before he reveals his playful attitude towards the subject.
CANDICE
I will however; give you a few. PENS AND PAPERS OUT NOW!!!
CANDICE points his fingers down until they hit a nearby table hard. A semi loud thud is heard and his facial expression resembles sludge because his features are being dragged down for dramatic effect. After all, this is an animation.
CANDICE
Snippet numeral Uno: A pleasing, energetic, magnetic and highly adaptable social personality is BY FAR, the best weapon a salesperson can ever have. Do not ever be fooled by your actual positions people;
The camera zooms in on CANDICE’s face and a sly, slick, maneuvering expression overcomes his face
CANDICE
Everybody sells something (laughing). It may be a hamburger, a double whopper with cheese, antique chessboards, TV show seasons on DVD, groceries, car parts, cars themselves...or it may just be yourself as a likable person. No matter what actual product you do sell, always remember it is only of secondary importance. Your personality is the primary product you sell. You can sell a blind person a package of college ruled writing paper...if he likes you enough. You have to aspire to become the most successful person who is not in your family. And if one of your family members just happens to truly be the most successful person in the world, then go ahead and break this rule. Once you continue pursuing to be the most successful person you know, in a month or 6...you shall observe some wondrous results...as always.
Now the greatest obstacle slash challenge with this practice for the average newcomer is this:
64 CANDICE assumes the facial expression of an ashamed toddler in trouble. He is in the following statements, mocking the people who don’t believe in themselves enough to entertain their respective customers with their pleasing personalities.
But everyday is just not really wonderful. I don’t have to lie to these customers to sell them some sugarcane now do I Chizzy?
No man, no...the answer is no. You do not have to in fact lie to our precious customers. YOU HAVE TO LIE TO YOURSELF YA FOOL!!! Everybody has trials, everybody has tribulations, and everybody faces daily hardships and adversities. What separates the beyond great from the below average is the ability to put aside their personal grievances and setbacks...and make the customer feel better about theirs. You just have to constantly remember FREDERICK; the customer has her own issues to deal with. And instead of dealing with these issues, she is shopping at the store you are currently working for. Maybe by shopping at your place of employment she is solving some of her issues...but most likely not. In that case, also remember FREDDY that your customers have probably shopped at your job way before it was, your job; and they just may continue to shop there once you leave for whatever reason, if you don’t scare them off with your negative attitude first. Now here is the fun part, there is a small majority of workers spread sparsely throughout the entire world responsible for a great number of their customer’s many visits to the shop in which they are employed. How do they accomplish this almost impossible task you ask? They do it by making the customers feel at peace and at home. Every customer does not reside in a peaceful abode, and the grandest of all the employees recognize this fact because maybe, they don’t either. For the great servicemen, work is an opportunity to escape their annoyingly rude 9yr old niece and her highly ignorant father. Work for them is an opportunity to learn how to treat people, how to interact with people of all different characteristics. It provides them the chance to treat an 80yr old female patron special, in front of the finest 26yr old model looking customer named Ms. Angel they have ever witnessed.
If that monologue didn’t convey the obvious benefits to you pimping, check this one out:
You have problems and so do your customers. So if you just happened to radiate a more positive outlook than anyone else around you; by law it would have to rub off on those whom you come into contact with for long periods of time. The formula is simple: make 100 people feel better and more at peace with their current situations and your personal problems take a back seat to the new attention you so often receive now. Do not ever forget FREDDY; you ARE going to receive a ton of positive press for this new found spiritual mentality. Once again, the formula is simple, guaranteed and proven to attain easy, free results: make 100 people laugh in one day and your problems seem much less relevant. I promise FREDDY, I promise.
The screen now turns black and a loud voice
JOEY
WARNING, WARNING! HEY SPOILER ALERT NNA
The screen fades back in with Chizzy resuming his informing rant
CANDICE
65 Now since the fun parts over, here comes the emotionally troubling part of this equation: The first 2months of this new mentality is going to bring many rumors your way. A few people are going to constantly accuse you or at least spread behind your back rumors of you being some type of drug addict. This is just a defense mechanism for the self conscious and insecure people who just can not understand why you are so “damn positive all the time”. By the time 6months rolls around, you should be a local celebrity. When you walk in the store with your uniform on, ready to clock in and perform your easy duties ever so wonderfully as always; the business patrons will be watching you. They were thinking about you. After all, you did a great job charming them. They walked into the store hoping they would run into you at the register right before they left the vicinity. The wives tell their husbands about you, they tell their sisters and girlfriends about your past conversations as well. The husbands may not be so chatty however. You often secretly know why people leave from other cashier’s registers just to be serviced by you. Why do they love you so much though? It is actually very, very simple. When they first walk up to you, they hear you thanking the previous customer for shopping at “enter your establishment here”. They secretly observed how well you interact with all the other customers, even the rare or not so rare rude customers. When you are ringing up their items you ask them how they are doing today. They give you a semi authentic answer sometimes. You have an ability to force them to reveal their positive side by pulling yours out first and SHOOTING THEM IN THE FACE
This is an exaggeration as well as a double meaning, which forces a laugh out of CANDICE
CANDICE
When they ask you in return the same question your reply is much more authentic. “Wonderful as Always” is your answer and the following is the breakdown. The word wonderful is in fact a wonderful word. What makes this phrase catchy and memorable are the last two words. By telling your customers you are doing wonderful, they will feel slightly elated but nevertheless they will just later brush it off as a temporary state. Maybe you are just doing wonderful for today. But no FREDDY, this is a huge mistake. Never let these people confuse you with the average frustrated chump worker bee. You my friend are an uncompromising genius. Now on the other hand, the “as always” part of this equation; creates a fantasy world in which you successfully live in. The “as always” immediately isolates you from the remaining employed staff members. This, “as always” forces the customer to fantasize about you. It forces them to imagine you as a person, so damn happy, every day of the week. Now the truth of the matter is, there are only a few people in this world who feel wonderful every day and in every way.
These people are the ones who understand “now moments”. Now moments simply represent the present moment. The only thing we humans ever truly “posses” is; the present moment. Every funny memory, every horrible memory and every future memory occurs in the present moment. The present moment is always changing and will always change. Every person has a mental ego; that negative inner voice which is always trying to judge what we see on the daily. It is always trying to convince us we are under siege, a threat is always near. Life only rarely gives us threatening situations. The funniest thing about it is; even in those times, we are still not facing eradication.
CANDICE looks down with desperation and a bit of confusion all over his face
CANDICE
I still haven’t figured this part out yet...soon enough though.
66 CANDICE then resumes that familiar pleasant facial expression he is so known for.
CANDICE
The easiest way to live peacefully is to understand now moments. A now moment is only meant to be appreciated. God’s universe gives us laws concerning appreciation. Statistically speaking, if we find 100 things in our current life situation to be grateful for, who’s to say God herself won’t give us 100 more things to be grateful for. Now wouldn’t that be great? So once we combine the law of gratitude with all the present moments, we receive a much more abundant life situation.
Now we have just stumbled into a wonderful conversational topic right here. What is the difference between your life and your life situation? Your life is just the culmination of everything you do; it can not be changed. Your life situation on the other hand, is every thing you can remember. All of these events are just your temporary life situation. Your life situation always changes. Now speaking of changing, I’m hopping in the shower.
CANDICE begins to stand and starts singing his famous shower tune.
CANDICE
I’m hopping in the shower. I’m going to need about an hour, while I hop up in the shower.
CANDICE walks to the last step and the camera will freeze. Once the camera resume, CANDICE will be at the first step of the flight.
INT. DAY. CANDICE’s bathroom
The camera will once again freeze and transition. The next time you see CANDICE, he will be in the foggy/misty shower booth.
The camera goes into a split screen. One side shows CANDICE washing up his upper body in the shower and the other side shows CANDICE’s girlfriend ASHLEIGH SATURDAY, knocking on the front door. CANDICE’s mom PATRICIA answers the door
EXT. DAY OUTSIDE OF CANDICE’s MOM’s HOUSE
PATRICIA
Good afternoon ASHLEIGH, how was work?
ASHLEIGH
It was ok until your son clocked out on me.
PATRICIA
That sure sounds like a nice compliment to me.
ASHLEIGH
67
Speaking of him, is he here?
PATRICIA
I believe he is; he is however in the shower. Would you like to wait for him? He should be on his way out very soon, or he’ll be paying for the water bill.
ASHLEIGH
Oh yes, Ma’am! ASHLEIGH wouldn’t have it any other way.
INT. DAY, CANDICE’s ROOM
ASHLEIGH proceeds to walk up the stairs to the second floor after Ms. PATRICIA asks her to step inside of the house. ASHLEIGH then decides over her options:
ASHLEIGH
Now I can get underneath his covers, make myself comfortable and pretend to be asleep inside of my own bed. Or I could matter of fact
ASHELIGH’s gaze heads over to CANDICE’s closet while she ponders her next move. She walks closer and closer to the closet until she is able to open it. She then opens it and finds a clean, crisp shirt which she presumes CANDICE will slide on after he successfully dries off his body. She knows CANDICE has just given away some of his smaller clothes and the proof of this is a big, empty space on the left of the shirt. She decides to position herself right there as she closes back the closet door.
INT. DAY, CANDICE’s BATHROOM
CANDICE is now dressing his lower body (socks, undergarments, and khaki shorts) right outside of the bathroom door. As he finishes, he slides over to the dirty clothes hamper and puts his dirty clothes “in their place”.
INT. DAY, CANDICE’s BEDROOM
As CANDICE enters his room with his towel around his neck, his intuition is buzzing with an incredible intensity. He can not put his finger on what is going on but listening to his intuition always feels so good. He tosses his towel onto his bed as he heads over to his closet to dress his upper body.
Right as he slides over the closet door, ASHLEIGH surprises him with an “attack kiss”. This surprise is so well planned it brings CANDICE to his left knee with his right foot positioned in the football huddle stance. ASHLEIGH then repositions herself so she is bending over him with their lips still in unison.
The camera now freezes on the couple kissing almost intensely. CANDICE now resumes narration of the story
68
CANDICE
Ah! ASHLEIGH NICOLE SATURDAY, the love of my life I hope. I’m young yes, almost 16; but still old enough to establish what makes me feel good. And this young lady right here, gee golly pish posh does she ever makes me feel good! I mean, way before we ever locked lips or even hugged. Her hugs feel better than her kisses to me sometimes. I love being the center of her attention. I myself am the center of other people’s attention so for her to be the center of mine; it is an outstanding accomplishment in its own right. Maybe she planned it like this, I know I didn’t. This is just the way God intended this situation to play out. The day I met ASHLEIGH was by far the best day of my entire life for several reasons. Turns out, I had interacted with ASHLEIGH 2 weeks before we were formally introduced. I had just printed out my 3rd official newsletter on positivity. I remember speaking to Monique one on one in the store’s deli café about something related. There she was, ASHLEIGH, sitting quietly and by herself at the table to our right. After my conversation with Monique was finished, I smoothly looked ASHLEIGH in her “gorgeous” eyes...passed an extra copy of the newsletter, asked her to read it for me and I left the store and went home.
I remember thinking, oh snap; if she’s too young I could get in trouble for giving her mature literature. So a few weeks later, on the day I was supposed to travel to Jacksonville, Florida, I met ASHLEIGH. I cancelled the trip due to lack of preparation. So on November 20th, instead of being in Jacksonville romancing a blind date, I had the exquisite pleasure of introducing myself formally to ASHLEIGH NICOLE SATURDAY on her 16th birthday mind you. I was off for that day and I was checking the schedule. I saw ASHLEIGH in her nicely ironed uniform and I failed to recognize her from before. It wasn’t until a month later that I made the connection. I loved shaking her hands. So the next few days, needless to say, I was smitten. I had this one other girl I was into at the job. She was into me as well but she had for the last year been romantically involved with another female who also worked with us. Cross that one off, now back to ASHLEIGH S. My job is to assist the customers and the cashiers along with a little handy work here and there. ASHLEIGH just so happens to be a cashier and it makes my job that much more interesting. I just feel so much calmer when I am under ASHLEIGH’s love spell. I never want to be around her more than when I am away from her. I am growing into a very independent young man but still; she affects me in a most positive manner. She is very mature, warm hearted, cool headed and an evenly balance individual. And she seems to like being an influential figure in my life as well.
CANDICE snaps back to “reality” once he notices ASHLEIGH has him face down in his bed sheets while she plays gleefully in his “long, silky, girly hair”.
CANDICE
Well since we are already here and ready...is ASHLEIGH thinking what CANDICE is thinking?
ASHLEIGH
Yes baby, of course I will braid your locks up if you’re patient enough boo. What were you just thinking about? You seemed pretty far gone yet I could still feel your presence...it was very weird.
CANDICE
Well of course ASHLEIGH, I was thinking ‘bout you boo. Why would I ever disrespect your company by thinking of anything...or even worse...any one else?
69
ASHLEIGH
I don’t know (very sarcastically)... every body makes mistakes
As ASHLEIGH says “every body makes mistakes” she playfully pushes CANDICE’s head back into his pillow
ASHLEIGH
So in what fashion were you thinking about me CANDICE? (She says CANDICE very strictly) What exact memory were you focusing on at the current moment?
ASHLEIGH whispers in CANDICE’s right ear in a very seductive and sexy manner “the current moment”. It is as if ASHLEIGH understands CANDICE’s thought process and what effect such an emphasis on those words would have on him.
So she taps his right shoulder twice while she sits on the edge of his bed. CANDICE understands the body language and sits down in-between ASHLEIGH’s legs in a non sexual manner so she can braid up his already locked up hair.
CANDICE
Well if you must know, NOZIPHO...I was re-imagining the best days of my life...the first month I interacted with you baby.
ASHLEIGH
Damn CHIZZY...you really know how to steal my emotions don’t you?
ASHLEIGH wipes a few oncoming tears from both cheeks and kisses the left side of CANDICE’s freshly cleaned neck. As ASHLEIGH begins the braiding, CANDICE resumes his ever so interesting monologue chronicling how he met ASHLEIGH in the first place
CANDICE
Now when I first became comfortable with ASHLEIGH...life appeared problem-less. There happened to be one problem however...it took the physical form of DUSTIN. Now DUSTIN is at this time, ASHLEIGH’s boyfriend of 3yrs. She told me she loved him still but she was no longer “in love” with him. Good for me in any case, but this would prove to be a most delicate situation. So how do you extract a young lady from a situation you helped her realize she no longer wants to be a participant in? The answer is so simple; you don’t. You can however, persuade her to extract herself. After all, it is she who is involved in the exclusive relationship. I only saw DUSTIN less than 10 times and I never wished to increase this count. Every time I saw him he seemed so quiet. Now there is nothing wrong with being quiet because I am quiet as well. His quiet accompanied a strange sense of insecurity however. I remembered ASHLEIGH showing me a few pictures on her phone of her and DUSTIN hanging out together. In the majority of the pictures, she was the only person actually smiling. To this day, I still have no clue what could have possibly been troubling him so
70 much that he felt it was politically incorrect to smile. Like did the camera man hold up a sign reading “show one tooth and I’m knocking all of them out!” with a sledge-hammer to go with it?
That’s the first time I realized I really wanted to be involved in an exclusive relationship with ASHLEIGH. I felt, if God gave me the opportunity, I wouldn’t let any of them down. It was so easy to visualize myself with her; once I was with her in my mind, I always saw myself smiling all the time like I was 5 again. There is a combination of innocence about ASHLEIGH as well as an undeniable sense of maturity about her. I know it’s obviously highly unfeasible for one person to possess both spiritual qualities...but her spirit is aligned enough to balance out both. I mean, simply put, she gets it in.
So if CANDICE is making ASHLEIGH out to be the “perfect woman for him”, then traditionally speaking, she must have been another man’s trash. The worst thing DUSTIN ever did was give me the opportunity to:
The screen fades out and JOEY cuts in once more for comedic effect.
JOEY
Immerse yo chick in a world of...FAN-TA-SAE-(drag out “SAE” for as long as possible) YEA- AH
Now back to CANDICE and his monologue
CANDICE
So once I had the chance to completely immerse ASHLEIGH SATURDAY into my world of constant, entertaining and self-improving adventure, their relationship was over. And I never had to kiss her; but I still did it anyway (laughs). Here’s how it happened: I had to work on a Saturday coincidentally and so did ASHLEIGH. I was scheduled for 2PM Eastern time but I was “on site” by noon, I just hate to be late anywhere. Little did I know however, God had placed me in a position to view ASHLEIGH in an emotional state she didn’t want me to see her in. ASHLEIGH decided to switch shifts with another worker JACKIE but I just didn’t know why. Jackie’s original Sat. shift was from 7AM until 2PM with a noon lunch break. I worked the same shift as ASHLEIGH’s original shift, 2PM until closing, 11PM. JACKIE is cool too, she’s just 10 yrs older than I am but nevertheless; the successful adapt to their ever changing life situations. What ASHLEIGH did not expect however, was me “waiting” for her while she went on her noon lunch break in the deli café. When I laid my eyes on her face for the first time that day, I flinched, and I never, ever flinch. I flinched because her boyfriend had obviously beaten the
The screen turns black and JOEY cuts in for a brief moment.
JOEY
CHILL OUT!!!
Back to CANDICE.
CANDICE
Out of her. So I immediately moved my chair closer to hers. What happened to your face ASHLEIGH SATURDAY!?!
71
ASHLEIGH
I don’t know...I guess I fell in my asleep
CANDICE
Ok, so now I’m stupid right? Looks to us like you fell victim to an unfair beat-down...that’s what it looks like.
ASHLEIGH
Wait a minute...who’s “us”? It is only us here.
CANDICE
“Us” is the lie detection agency and I.
CANDICE’s intuition was on point once again. That silly comment succeeded in making ASHLEIGH laugh.
ASHLEIGH
Now I can’t even stay mad at you CHIZZY
CANDICE
Wait...hold up a good minute! Why in the hill would you be upset with me? I mean, I didn’t do this to you.
ASHLEIGH looks down to a dead bug on the floor in despair as she prepares her response.
ASHLEIGH
I know you didn’t CANDICE, but DUSTIN thinks you and I have a romantic affair going on.
CANDICE takes a long sip like gulp from his sprite, places the cup back down on the coaster, wipes the moisture off from around his growing mustache and smiles. His next words exit one at a time in a very slow, seductive and hypnotic manner.
CANDICE
But...there...is...nothing...going...on...between...us...Simply put, you are not my type and you could never be so lucky.
CANDICE looks away as he declares “You are not my type and you could never be so lucky.” He then resumes with the eye contact. He can tell by the look on her face, which comment stunned her expectations obviously hurting her feelings in the process.
CANDICE then places his right hand on top of her left.
72
CANDICE
I was just fooling around with you ASHLEIGH, you should know without a doubt’s shadow I care about you...too much in fact for you to be “someone else’s girlfriend”.
ASHLEIGH
Well if you think I would actually stay in an abusive relationship with anyone, including that jerk-off DUSTIN; then I guess you are pretty stupid. My father never hit me and no one else will either...ever.
CANDICE smiles at this comment realizing his opportunity for a relationship with ASHLEIGH...finally. ASHLEIGH stands up, preparing to fix her something to eat. CANDICE stands up and positions his body right in front of her.
CANDICE
So what are you saying ASHLEIGH NICOLE?
ASHLEIGH
I’m just letting prospective investors now what’s on the emotional market.
ASHLEIGH laughs while she moves a strand of hair from the side of her face back to its original position. CANDICE notices this as an easy sign of attraction and indicator of interest.
CANDICE
So um...would you like to be my last girlfriend?
ASHLEIGH
HILL NO (with a sincere smile)
CANDICE
Well if that’s the case ASHLEIGH...I never said you could. I could just tell something was troubling you.
ASHLEIGH walks over to CANDICE slowly but surely, in an almost deliberate way.
ASHLEIGH
Oh! You could just tell huh? Well what’s troubling me is the fact you took my first answer seriously.
CANDICE
ASHLEIGH please, I hardly take anything you say serious...let alone at face value.
CANDICE rubs his right index finger across the left side of ASHLEIGH’s cheeks, wiping off the remaining tears as he says “let alone at face value”.
73
ASHLEIGH
So ask me again...please
ASHLEIGH maintains eye contact with CANDICE as she un-buttons the top button of his uniform shirt.
CANDICE
ASHLEIGH NICOLE SATURDAY...please be my first girlfriend
ASHLEIGH
I thought at first you said last?
CANDICE
Yea I know...I can play games a little bit too ASH. First, last, it just doesn’t matter; what matters is you are my present moment...and present moments last forever.
ASHLEIGH looks up at CANDICE like she never has before but always does now- a-days.
ASHLEIGH
You mean I’m your every thing?
CANDICE
Every since your last birthday my little personal watermelon...pun intended.
ASHLEIGH takes one step closer to CANDICE and this leaves no “personal space” in-between them. CANDICE takes a step back to test her. ASHLEIGH complies by once again stepping closer to him.
ASHLEIGH
So what now?
CANDICE
Well, first things first; I help you forget about your troubled past relationship.
ASHLEIGH
Well if I may interject; isn’t that what got us into trouble CANDICE?
ASHLEIGH smiles as she grabs hold of CANDICE’s hand and places it on her face so he could rub it smoothly once more. She has already grown accustomed to his serene touch.
CANDICE
74 Hold up, I’m not in trouble. It’s a real shame what he did to you...a damn shame. Inside this temporary tragedy however; God gave me what I wanted most; you ASHLEIGH, you. All I wanted was an opportunity to rightfully be able to do this;
CANDICE lifts up ASHLEIGH’s chin and attempts to kiss her. By this point his hand is supporting her neck and he felt her shake at the impact; she likes it. The kiss itself lasts for about 30 seconds. One second for every day he knew her before they were an “exclusive item”. The kiss ends...for now.
CANDICE
So how long do you have on your break again?
CANDICE and ASHLEIGH both look at their respective watch and cell phone. When ASHLEIGH opens up her phone, she is reminded of DUSTIN because an older picture of them serves as her backgrounds. She snaps a quick picture of CANDICE and proceeds to make that one her new background wallpaper.
ASHLEIGH
Aw! Now that’s better boo boo. You are so much cuter than him anyway. It is now 12:10PM and I have 20 minutes left boo. Why, what do you want to do with me CANDICE darling?
CANDICE
Treat you to a healthy lunch while we discuss “trivial” matters of no real importance.
ASHLEIGH
Ooh, aren’t you the eventful new boyfriend?
ASHLEIGH and CANDICE begin to pack up their stuff and visit the Chinese based restaurant located in the same shopping plaza as their place of employment. The camera will freeze frame and fade to white as they leave the building.
CANDICE’s monologue is finally over and now we observe him with 75% of his hair braided. His eyes were closed the entire time and he now re-opens them.
ASHLEIGH
So you back now CANDY?
CANDICE
Yes baby, CANDY’s back in effect
ASHLEIGH
You know DUSTIN came by house yesterday night, around 9PM Eastern time?
CANDICE
75
Andddd? What else happened?
ASHLEIGH
Nothing too significant or romantic or anything, he just came by to apologize again...for what happened between us. He seems to be really broken up by it.
CANDICE
Well I’m sure he is...I’d be broken up too if I was in his position. Once my mother found out I hit you, regardless of the situation I would be even more broken.
They both share a hearty laugh together.
CANDICE
So did you accept his apology again?
ASHLEIGH
As a matter of fact CANDICE, I did; under one simple condition. He is never to approach me anywhere without my non text message hand written note.
CANDICE
Jeesh, ASHLEIGH, seems like a considerable amount of “trouble” to go through just to communicate with him.
ASHLEIGH
That’s the point though CANDY, I have no interest in interacting with that...wonderful person.
They both realize the irony in ASHLEIGH’s words and resume their “couple’s laughter” once more.
CANDICE
Have you ever heard of the “mastermind principle” ASHLEIGH?
ASHLEIGH
Not at all, what is that? A new government mandate of some sort?
CANDICE
No silly, no.
CANDICE begins to laugh uncontrollably at ASHLEIGH’s “genuine answer”.
CANDICE
The mastermind principle is an older term coined by the great Napoleon Hill.
76
ASHLEIGH
Um, don’t you mean Napolean Bonaparte?
CANDICE once again finds this insanely comical and begins to outbursts so hard, ASHLEIGH has to stop braiding his hair and slap him upside his head.
ASHLEIGH
If you keep treating my answers like that, this is how you are walking around tomorrow. Now I suggest you respond to my answers like you have some foresight.
This in itself is a reference to one of the lessons Napoleon Hill teaches about. This reveals ASHLEIGH may in fact know more about Hill’s teachings than she admitted to.
CANDICE
Ok baby, ok, I apologize sincerely. Common mistake, (snickers) Napolean Bonaparte was an ancient conqueror and war lord. Napoleon Hill however, differed in many noticeable ways. Napoleon Hill was more interested in conquering the human mind to achieve greatness in any undertaking undertaken. So Hill spent about 2 consecutive decades researching the most prominent, industrious and wealthy people all over the country and maybe even the world. After these 20 yrs, his contact list was tremendously stupendous I would imagine.
ASHLEIGH
Yes I would too.
CANDICE
So anyway, Hill started off as some sort of journalist and his most recent assignment at the time was to interview United Steel Corporation legend Andrew Carnegie Sr. So Mr. Carnegie was so impressed with this young man for whatever reason, he offered him an once in a lifetime opportunity. Carnegie would set use his ever so abundant resources to set up several meetings with a few of his friends, some of the richest people ever creating their own first generation wealth. The catch was Hill would not be paid for his efforts; he was to assemble a success manual from all the hard hours he spent extracting personal information from these “industry giants”. He was given the opportunity to spend more time with these almost billionaires in a 20yr span than the “average person” is allotted in a life time. Plus not only was he allotted time with these people, but he had the reference from another person worth $500Million. What more could you ask for?
ASHLEIGH
A lifetime with you
They both realize her attempt to further humanize the moment with a soft sell and they kiss passionately before CANDICE resumes his dialogue.
CANDICE
77 Thank you hummingbird; almost done here. So Hill is at this point expected to interview every person he was sent to, determine what they back-stories were, their hardships and what drove them to acquire all of the wealth they did; their secrets to success if you would call it that. I would suppose Carnegie himself planned to profit from the book himself, once it was fully published and distributed. After all, his honorable mentions of the project along with his actual participation slash organization of the project should help the book sales too. His not initially getting paid was kind of a crummy deal but Carnegie’s point was; if the success manual truly worked, which it obviously did, then Hill would receive all the compensation he and his future generations would ever need in life. What Hill did not figure out until later was Carnegie believed men slow to reach a decision can never succeed. Carnegie was timing Hill’s answer, giving him only 60 seconds to comply or turn it down before he was ultimately disqualified.
ASHLEIGH
Ouch, so much suspense man!!!
CANDICE
Yes I know right...so anyway, Hill was smart enough to comply within 20 seconds or less. I’ll have to listen to the tapes again for the exact number of seconds. So to wrap up the story; he published the interviews into a book titled “Napoleon Hill’s the law of success in 17 or 18 lessons”. The book was so powerful, the most powerful people who control the world decided this manual was too intense for the masses and took it down.
ASHLEIGH
So what did Hill do after that? They just stripped away his new found source of residual income!!!
CANDICE
Please calm down baby, he just went back and stripped away some of the most powerful principles in the story. He then published another book called “Think and Grow Rich”. I remember purchasing the audio- book version and downloading the e-book version. The audio version is 8 hrs is long, which is long mind you. When compared to The Law of Success’ audio length, it is only 1/3rd, which is so tragic. I felt taken advantage of when I first realized this fact. So I downloaded the Law of Success and am STILL LISTENING TO IT. I mean, it is 24 freaking hrs long ASHLEIGH; that’s even a lot of knowledge for yours truly.
ASHLEIGH
So what does the “mastermind principle” have to do with Napoleon Hill, think and grow rich and the law of success?
CANDICE
Simple, the “mastermind principle” is just lesson number one or two believe. The mastermind states once a person has a definite aim to reach for, other people who desire to achieve the same goal should be gathered into a group.
ASHLEIGH
Ah Ha! The Mastermind incarnate!!!
78
CANDICE
Exactly baby, exact-a-mundo. Hill goes on to explain water itself is another mastermind.
ASHLEIGH
Oh yeah, two molecules of oxygen and one molecule of hydrogen.
CANDICE
I love you
He wipes off his tears after this heart-felt remark.
CANDICE
A table is a mastermind too; the wood and the legs, even the chairs. So the main ingredient of the mastermind following the definite purpose is harmony. Without harmony, the mastermind group can never ever exist. If harmony is kept in tact however, then the group’s members are able to tap into the subconscious mind of the remaining members.
ASHLEIGH
As long as the harmony remains!
CANDICE
You so have gotten the concept down-packed.
The remaining 25% of CANDICE’s hair is completely braided up. He stands up to conclude the story.
ASHLEIGH
GREAT story baby; only one question.
CANDICE
What is it baby?
ASHLEIGH
Please let me drive you over to my mom’s house for dinner. We are making salmon cakes and patties, then you can explain more about the mastermind and the “subconscious mind” I’ve never heard of that before.
CANDICE looks towards the camera in a completely stupefied manner. It is almost as if everyone he knows knows something about the “subconscious mind”. There is a strong probability ASHLEIGH knows more about the subconscious mind than CANDICE does; she just loves hearing him speak. It is her way of helping him gain more confidence in his oratory skills.
79 The camera moves out of the room as the passionate, young couple kiss and exits the house. Once the camera is outside, it turns up to show the serene looking sky. The viewers will hear the footsteps treading down the stairs.
EXT. NIGHT, CANDICE’s FRONT LAWN
ASHLEIGH and CANDICE exit the house and enter ASHLEIGH’s newly washed car.
INT. NIGHT, ASHLEIGH’s CAR
ASHLEIGH
You requested permission from your mother to leave the house and have dinner with my family?
CANDICE
HA...permission?
ASHLEIGH shoots a stern look in CANDICE’s direction, aimed only at him.
CANDICE
Of course baby, I was just playing
ASHLEIGH
That’s just what I thought
The camera slowly backs up and lifts up vertically as it observes the car drive off. CANDICE is heard repeating his ignorant phrase once again.
CANDICE
Ha! Permission...
ASHLEIGH is heard slapping him, presumably in the head

I would love a 6month internship with YOUNG MONEY FILMS because in reality,
6months is more than enough time to prove to you all just how valuable my presence
