like it never happened...bonus round - package makes it to the point.

i have never mentioned this before but i will now...actually i'm not going to now. i don't think. i was going to talk about how it's kinda funny, but not really, that if you go to wikipedia or whatever it's called and look up Nightlines or Radiosonic or Realtime, all shows i worked on, a lot...there's no mention of me. at all. i was going to say how i was basically blacklisted from there by someone, who is still there, who wanted to get ahead in the corp. and had a very clear agenda, etc. and that he is still there now and that i'm happy i am not. my life is better without the CBC in it (very much so.) - i make more money than i would have ever made there and have less can-con bullshit in my life. but i am still in a little wonder about my obviously intentional ommission from the pages that talk about these shows. i was gonna talk about theft i knew about by producers and researchers during my time there, but why bother? the CBC is a place that eats its young and for all it's liberal trappings is a very conservative place run by old people - and they're spending your money unwisely. i hadn't listened to the CBC for years and years until recently when i heard it because garvie listens to it. it's bad. and radio3 is some kind of cruel joke played on the nation. who listens? no one i know. i know this probably sounds like sour grapes and there may be some, stored away somewhere but, i rarely think of my days there - much like i don't think of my days at the railway club either (two places that have one thing in common - there are some serious career drunks at both places.) i also only thought of it today when someone i know, a local musician, asked me about someone who i used to work with there, and i told a few stories about how he had fucked the mothercorp by stealing some pretty pricey gear to use at home for his home sideline business. and when the mothercorp found out, they did nothing. they didn't care. most people at CBC, when i was there, were too scared to say anything about anything because they didn't want to lose their job...some because it was the only job they'd ever had and if they ever had to get a real job they'd be fucked because they had no real world skills.
oh..i should stop. i'm glad i'm not there as i would have turned into just another asshole that works at CBC..instead i'm just another asshole that works in film and cuts grass.

oh. on another front, my package from mexico is, apparently, in point roberts. somewhere.
