Logan510 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 It seems like you like the attention your drama gives you. So many people have given you advice, both on the boards and off the board, but you continue to do the same thing over and over again. It seems every few months you do something dumber than the last dumb event in your life. I can't wait to hear about your next bonehead "mistake". I could care less about the attention I just look for advice and I already said that I make the same mistakes over again and other then what happened yesterday and the ASM 129 there's not that many mistakes I made this year. What happened yesterday? Remember that one time when someone who might be considered by some former first lady's a 'deplorable' tried to defend his political position by espousing his knowledge of Canadian parliament and instead cited information about the Indian parliament? Then defended that gaffe by saying he didn't know other counties besides Canada had parliaments? Oh, I thought he meant comic mistakes, I didn't think he meant being a doofus mistakes. I was talking about comic mistakes but yesterday was a mistake with politics Exactly what I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uchiha101 Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 There was some real gold in them there posts... Agreed, but at what point does it just become sad? Do we really need proof that water is wet? I know. I hear what you are saying. I was thinking about it last night and felt a little bad for being hard on him as it seemed there was yet even more "evidence" from all the replies to questions, etc. that there may be deeper issues and challenges at play beyond a learning disability and lethargy. Gabe, I really hope you have a qualified counselor or two that you are seeing on a regular basis and are getting expert help beyond the comic selling advice here. It's ok you can tell me what you see the biggest problems are and I can bring it up with my therapist. The biggest problem I see is that you do what you want to do regardless of the free, expert advice given by people who've been successful for longer than you've been alive. That's my biggest problem that you see? Well I'm not going to quit comics that much I know and I can make it work too and also I'm gonna do some calculations later I think you may like it And folks, there we have it. No one is going to tell him nothing no way, no how! Perhaps the time for free advice and "bailing him out" should stop and let him post what he is going to post and let him actually figure things out (or not) on his own. I know you may not see it but I am improving on these things slowly These last two comics are a example of something done right Have you ever heard the saying " don't count your chickens before they're hatched"? Exactly. Just because you didn't get ripped off this time doesn't mean things are turning around for you and that you're improving. The chances of someone ripping you off on such low dollar books is probably low, but with a few more purchases like this, I bet you'll be back to thinking you can flip books like the a pro. The comics have already been shipped and I do see that as a improvement because they are two comics I can make money on to make up for the losses with the ASM 129. Not only that I'm double checking before I buy something and reading if they have anything I might miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
