Old video, still fun.
To tell the truth, I didn’t really laugh really hard until the very end (the Cynic line got me). Then again, I didn’t have much to laugh about.
I could explain the story behind this, but it’s boring and most people really wouldn’t give half a damn. Besides, I could get into trouble for going into too much detail. Next time I sign a contract, I’ll be reading it much, much closer.
Want to do me a favor? Don’t let people forget about AS and how it came to be. It didn’t pop up overnight. Only one person lead it for three years, with a lot of help. Some of the help was loyal and good, some was pathetic, narcissistic, and treacherous. People you’ve met personally, slept in the same hotel room with, had breakfast, lunch, and dinner with, will use the block you stumbled over as a stepping stone. Your loss is their gain.
Learn something from my misfortune: when in doubt, trust yourself and no one else. That’s the safest way to do business. The moment you start trusting other people to be kind, fair, decent, or moral is the moment you might as well sign over your soul to the man in the suit. No one cares about you, they care about what you can do for them. Once you’re no longer useful or convenient, your continued existence is no longer required.
