The Kabuki Play 3

Kabuki is a traditional form of Japanese theater that portrays the lives of people who lived during the Edo period (1600-1868). While it's subject matter is primarily historical, Kabuki's extraordinary spectacles of color and sound through acting, dancing and music still symbolize contemporary life.

About Me

Name:

HISTORY OF "THE KABUKI PLAY"

  • The original "Kabuki Play" writings exposed a brash inner monologue as I struggled through the trials and tribulations as a college student. Broken friendships, irritating dorm-mates and akward trips home between semesters kicked off the first "Kabuki Play" series. However, college didn't last forever and "the real world" was right around the corner with drama ten fold.
  • "The Kabuki Play 2," a darker and more disturbing account, told the unsettling story about my first job after graduating from college, it being one of the biggest trainwrecks in the history of "The Kabuki Play." After being caught in the middle of 10 consecutive firings in less than two years and being stuck with four pisspoor bosses, I decided that I'd had enough. So, I quit my job and cut off all the negativity in my life, and moved two hours away from home to start my life over.
  • With a new job, my own apartment and a new beginning, "The Kabuki Play 3" picks up where the second series left off and revisits my inner monologue as I try to leave the past behind me and spread my wings.

Manji Designs' Tough Crowd

You know what pisses me off? People who ask me to design their website and then SLACK OFF. Several months ago, I got an e-mail from an Orlando-based illusionist asking me to design his website, but when it came time to sign the agreement, he seemed to have dropped off the face of the planet (sound familiar?). Anyway, his excuse was that he had family trouble… Fine, not a big deal.

So, I gave him a couple of weeks or so to pull it together. I must have sent about 5 e-mails thereafter asking him over and over again if he still wanted the website. Assured, he told me he was definitely still interested and wanted me to do it. Well, after a while, I stopped pursuing and he never followed up. I did my part with the follow-up, but the ball was then in his court.

Here’s the kicker: I went to visit his website tonight just out of curiosity, and to my disgust, it was redesigned by someone else…

Ok, let’s put this into perspective SHALL WE:

1. Your stupid-idiotic-David-Copperfield-wannabe ass came to ME with this shit, and then you turn around, slack off, and have someone else redo your website? Oh HELL no…
2. If you didn’t want to use me, YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME in the FIRST PLACE! I could have saved myself the trouble and the time.
3. If I was too expensive for your cheap ass, TELL ME YOU CAN’T AFFORD ME. Maybe then I wouldn’t be stuck wondering what the hell is going on… and from the looks of it, seems like you got what you paid for.

My chiropractor is doing the same shit. He wants a website, but puts in little or no effort to get me content to put in it. It’s been about… hmmm… 1.5 years since I started it? IT’S STILL NOT DONE.

I don’t understand why people want all of these things but refuse to put any work or effort into it. That shit just PISSES me off.

I really feel like sending this illusionist a piece of my mind. What an ASSHOLE. Leave me some comments my fellow readers and let me know what you'd do in that situation!
