Why do I still go to these things?
So every year around this time I blog about the Global & E! Network fall launch shindig I go to. Every year if memory serves me correctly, I blog all about how bummed out I am after I leave and how discouraging these Network kinds of events are for me. Well this year is no exception I guess. The fall launch party was this morning, I went to it, I got some free food and just got back here to the safe and happy confines of my edit suit to work on this little show of mine that doesn't seem to exist or matter in the world of Network television here in Canada!
Maybe I shouldn't go to these things anymore. Like I was saying, I can't ever remember feeling the least bit inspired or positive about myself or what I'm doing after going to any of these things. Clearly the only thing that really matters to any of the suits and bigshots at the network is prime time programming, washed up US celebrities and the up and coming and newest original programming at the network, I get that. See I'm none of those things so I don't exist or at least I'm not really of any importance or value to people at the network and that what this entire industry is based on. If you have some sort of perceived value or celebrity or ability to help further someone's career/make them money somehow, people will pretend to be interested in you and even show you a little bit of respect if thats what you want to call it.
Maybe that's what was bugging me so much about the emails and facebook messages I was getting regarding this Tom Green thing and shooting the show from my house ect. I've become so use to not getting any respect or credit for anything I have done over the last seven years in latenight that when I know for once that I absolutely deserve it, I just want to maybe make sure that I get it. From you guys at least!
I digress.....I can feel a rant coming on. Good thing I can't type worth a shit cause it slows me down....back to what I was blogging about originally. Feels like I've got lots to say right now. Maybe I'll quick go get my camera and do a video blog right now. I hate typing and its no fun going off on a rant about piss ass little Canadian "celebrities"(lol) and stuff if I can't type fast enough not to start boring myself with my own thoughts.
