I may or may not have shared this video in the past, but this is the first time I've found the uncensored version on-line. Okay, the censored version only erased the word "blew," but still...
Yes, I've got to remember to count my blessings every now and then. Sure, I had a lousy day at work on Monday. Sure, I didn't get the other job I was seeking (yet again). But I'm still working for the good guys as opposed to those who, let's face it, essentially tried to destroy me after years of faithful service (just WHY they wanted to, I still can't imagine, but they denied me my dignity when they could have at least spared THAT). Today was another long, busy day, but hell, I got a lot DONE, and that's the way work is supposed to WORK.
Know what ELSE really works? The new set from my pal Deathstar_!
Meantime, a good friend of mine got MORE than lucky... he damn well earned it, but I must tread cautiously, as it's still a secret. Between us, he sold an original PLAY that I would absolutely LOVE to be in... but he has NO say in casting at such time as it's produced. I'm going to try out for it, as the role in question would assuage every one of the doubts I expressed much earlier (when I discussed my potential retirement from the stage). And really, if they don't think I can do THIS, then I guess my misgivings have root in reality and I will really have to make a decision to either completely embrace or completely step away from my perceived persona. I don't think I've found my signature role yet... my fear is that others believe that I've already had it. This is NOT a reflection on the producers and directors who have entrusted many a demanding role to me... I am MORE than grateful and have always given my all to them in return. It's just me. I've played a fine variety of intense supporting characters over the past few years, but I need the challenge of an actual lead at least once... and I do NOT want to play another abuser. This one would give me a chance to be NICE to the ladies, for one thing... and it would let the side of myself that gets free rein on this very site (enhanced by just how much I've truly learned and experienced thanks to the alt.model community) a chance to come out and PLAY for OTHERS to see.
I need this.
And this blog needs more SETS...
...starting with Classic SG Jamity!
Now, wait a minute... IS she a Classic SG? (Meaning specifically by MY definition, one who was already Pink before I joined the site in 2009?) Hard to say... another tiny little bug for the new site to work out. See, the profile pages indicate when one joined the site no matter one's classification... if I may use my dear @vassilis as an example, you'll see that her page reads "Suicide Girl since 2009." Okay--she's been on the site just as long as me, but I know darn well that she turned Pink well AFTER 2009. And with so many friends (sorry, is that "followers" or "followees") to keep track of, I've started to stumble on just when certain SGs became Former Hopeful Friendlies (that is, those who went Pink ON my watch). Those include Kieve...
...and Rowdi!
We have astonishing Hopeful Friendly Encores from the fascinating Phasia_S...
...and the sensational Songbird_!
It's debut time for the ravishing Raleigh_...
...the natty Ness_...
...the fantastic Firefly_...
...the nifty Novakobra...
...and the swoon-worthy Sweetgore!
THANK YOU, "New SG," for providing the means to SAVE BLOGS that would otherwise have been EATEN... I almost lost this ENTIRE THING through no fault of my own!!!!!
And last but by no means least? Let's talk about friends and Former Hopeful Friendlies for a bit more if you don't mind?
Seeing my own saved photographs from the beginning reminds me of so many "old time" friends I miss here, and some I don't have to miss.
My very first friend on this site, @raynne? I don't have to say goodbye to her even though she's no longer here. Friend Numero Uno proved to be just that.
I miss @gilli--the first friend I added due to her association with the Horror Host Underground. She and her set are no longer going concerns on SG and I've lost contact completely.
I miss @ritsuka, with whom I exchanged far more than set compliments... we used to talk about classic, confrontational literature from ATLAS SHRUGGED to A CLOCKWORK ORANGE...
On the other hand, one of my early-day friends became a part of my immediate family in every way, shape and form save that of an official, government-signed document. @cadavre, did I ever mention how much I love you?
And then there was the young lady that I believe was my very first Former Hopeful Friendly. I've related my friendship with the phenomenal @praesepe more than once in the past, but I thought I'd throw a new tidbit in for you... yes, she was my friend from pretty much the beginning (well before she submitted so much as a single set, just because I liked her and enjoyed conversing with her). But she knew more about the site than I did... she provided me with one of my first testimonials long before I even knew what a "testimonial" was. As such, I didn't see it until long after the fact, and I apologize for not thanking her properly at the time. Well, now that the tiny posts formerly known as "testimonials" are back, you can actually look it up should you care to. If not, I will merely say that I do, indeed, try to live up to what she said. It means THAT much to me. It really does.
@praesepe, do you know how much I just plain LIKE having you for a friend? And did I mention how much I just plain LIKE your sensational NEW SET?
Need I say more?
Your friend,
Remo D.
