ha, I laughed out loud for this one, online panhandling, who would have thought

Sam, why did you quit your job? You need to take something and stick with it, at least for a little while. It will get easier, I promise. You are all grown up now.

Dude I feel sorta bad for you...but I am in the same boat (and that boat has lots of holes). If only money grew on trees.

what the fuck do you know?

y'know how many bomb ass vids Sam has made for us for Free over the YEARS? Dozens. and not that easy shit where you jus set a cam on a tripod, but with creativity and style better than 90% of the ones we receive here. I thank and sympathize with all the filmmakers who hook it up for free, and i do think they should get some compensation, but how? money? free bags? most of us dont have disposable income...

as for sam's other personal shit, i cant get into or defend that.

so far i owe a copy ofr freestyle fantasy to these people

jean-philippe labbé
********
sherbrooke,qc
j1g 2k4
canada

Tom Mosher
********
Kingston, Ontario K7L 1B1
Canada

>>Colin Kennedy
********
>>Goulds, NL, Canada
>>A1S 1B2

as of now i dont even have enough money to send them copies.. but for sure they will get free copies of freestyle reality.. which will actually incluse freestyle fantasy in it (im turning it into one movie)
so im not trying to panhandle.. im just trying to handle. and im not that good at handling.. my problem is i sell copies of videos before i make them.. i need to burn them and package them and get them all ready before i sell them, ie only completed units.. anyway.. sorry u 3.. dont worry i havent forgotten

-sizzle

oops i put their addresses lol EDIT

Instead of asking for free money, why don't you ask people to pre-pay for their copy of Freestyle Reality?

I like that idea. I will see what I can do about getting you some extra money too.

Tips:

-sell your computer
-hunt/gather your own food

If you're into anarchy like your profile says, you should learn to be autonomous from capitalism. You'd be surprised how many weeds are edible, tasty, and easy to gather.

it was a fucking joke dude, back off. I know exactly his situation and I understand where he is coming from

P.S. I will always buy you a thai dinner if you come to Claremont.

FootbagginBum · Post by **FootbagginBum** » 06 May 2005 18:46

why would anyone tell him to sell his comp? are you nuts? This guy is always making cool as shit on it, and is a part of the footbag world, and neither is possible without a computer. If you all knew how good this movie was gonna be...

And when your doing school full time, and footbag, and creative pursuits (that putting down would mean they didn't matter, which of course they do or you wouldn't do them) there ISN'T time to work. I couldn't have had a job during last semester even if it paid $25 an hour, it just doesn't work that way...and as long as you think it does, you either don't understand what schools about or you consider footbag a "hobby"...

To the people that attended the filming, it was THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD, and I don't know of any hobby you can say that about, nor would I ever put anything of that caliber aside to succomb to capitalism. If I weren't a student without a job as well, you would have at least $100 Sam, and I'd have no doubt that the payout I'd recieve on that money would be much more than dollars can measure. I'm sorry I can't help Sam.

Peace,
Bum

So do I get a free copy too, because I waited a year before I got mine? @______@

1) End the fucking cycle of stupidity that is selling your shit then buying other shit, never gaining anything in the process except fleeting happiness
2) If you're already broke as fuck, why give away free copies when you could make 15 bucks on each?!
3) Get a fucking job and stick to it! If you fuck around in school then you dont deserve not to have to do manual labor. You are so smart and had everything in front of you, but you made choices that have screwed you royally, designating you to the current place in which you are, which apparently sucks.

Its time to make some changes and stick to them. I can't feel pity for you because you aren't making decisions to better your financial future. Dont ask us broke ass footbaggers for money, go make some!

This is harsh, but its what I feel, so dont get mad at me

FootbagginBum · Post by **FootbagginBum** » 07 May 2005 20:12

wow, so semmingly contrary to what I said, but I agree with all of it too to a large degree. It still seems hard to work and footbag and do school though (assuming you really try hard at the last two), which is why I going to work my face off over summer to support myself during the year. Anyway, whatever you do Sam, good luck on getting everything back in order. Peace Man.

I don't think this conversation is achiving anything, Sam has made his announcement and any personal attacks should probably be directed toward him via PM.

Public attacks and argument are seldom a good thing.

Does this forum even get moderated?

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 08 May 2005 01:15

What do you want us to do?

I haven't commented in this topic because I have no opinion either about it but I don't see how this topic could be moderated. We could delete some posts or lock it - but arguements happen all the time - I don't think any of the ones in this topic have got out of hand - they're just people discussing what's been presented. Yeah maybe a few people have been a bit aggressive - they should stop - but it's hardly even worth a warning in my opinion. If anybody wants this topic or any other topic moderated in any way - send us a message explaining why.
