The black hole apology!
Hey guys, sorry for not making any post this week yet! I would go on a little rant here about how unbelievably busy I have been all week but that would just end up being more of a glimpse into my sorry ass life that is now just about entirely consumed by this show I am putting together each week. It's actually half pathetic how all consuming this show has become and how little energy or focus I have for anything else other than making Another Crappy Canadian Latenigth Talkshow but what's a guy to do?
I don't really feel like getting into a big explanation about how after five mostly regrettable years of hard work, the fall of 2007 has become that make or break moment in time for me but if I don't make things happen now for myself, I probably never will.
It's crazy how many nights this past week I worked on the show until 2 or 3:ooam, crashed for a few hours and then bolted out of bed in the middle of a dream about not getting this weeks show delivered on time.
It's Friday night, most of my friends are probably out boozin and I'll be here looking at footage that needs to be cut together for next weeks show. Scott has some cool music acts booked on the show over the next few weeks so I need things to go really smoothly and put together some awesome new shows. I got some great news this week that you will find about on the show Saturday night. Its definitely going to change and improve some things around here.
The lack of manpower and volunteers to help me put this show together each week means that lots of stuff gets overlooked and I've just kind of learned to except that. On "Be Real" which is the series now airing on TvTropolis that we shot this past summer, we had an actual budget and a crew of over a dozen people. Rebecca is one of the PA's and absolutely one of the coolest most sincere people I have ever met and she called me the other day to say hey. She also gave me crap for not returning an email she had sent me. I told Rebecca that she was full of crap because I never got an email from her and if I did I would have for sure sent one back to her cause I miss her and all my old crew on "Be Real". She insisted that she had sent me one so a couple days ago I asked Steve,my volunteer camera guy/web guy/audio guy/computer genius guy to see if there was any way that an email could have been sent to me and ended up some place other than my in box!
So get this! Steve discovered that for months now, every single email that was sent to me through the contact page on my website has been diverted into a black hole at the server which means not only have I never received any of these emails but it's impossible to ever even retrieve these emails. Even though these emails may have been sent to me months ago, it would be nice to at least be able to respond to them and apologies to all the people who now think I must be a total dick for never responding to the email they sent me.
At least Rebecca could call me and tell me I'm a jerk for not responding to the email she sent me and I could say "yo little chewchach, I didn't get no email from you, I ain't no jerk"!
What about the rest of you guys, do you want my phone number so I can call you all? Do you want me to apologize to each and every one of you here in my blog? Do you want me to write a sad apologetic song and sing it to you all in a vlog or what? I feel really bad and still can't believe this could have happened but you may have noticed that Steve is now working on the contact page and if any of you guys email me ever again, you can absolutely count on getting an email back from me but make sure to email me at jr@jrdigs.com because that's the only address that seems to be getting emails into my inbox!
Later guys.I gotta get back to work. Go check out Rebecca's blog at www.berealtv.ca and go to the photo gallery to see a funny picture of Chach and I and a pickle!
