I could use a good AOL chat room RN. I’m trying my damnedest but, damn Dre. Called out.

Only with love! And I know you are! 🫶

The Music of My Life by Baron's avatar

Career Opportunities is a great movie

Dre Beltrami's avatar

How feral is it?

The Music of My Life by Baron's avatar

I've never been asked that about a movie before, what are you asking?

Dre Beltrami's avatar

Because if it’s not feral enough, I won’t even bother looking it up 😂

The Music of My Life by Baron's avatar

Oh it is very feral

This reads like an Eazy-E song

(that’s a compliment)

Dre Beltrami's avatar

A HUGE ONE!! I'm in a real deep old school hip hop era right now. That's really crazy that you said that. It's clearly starting to show. 😂

(Many days later) I can't paste-in the original first page of the Turtle Riggs Chronicle: Homeless in Hawaii here sadly but the opening line went like this:

A Hole Nu Story

'I think it is a bit unfair and misguided to simply criticize my vagina.'

Listen this is exactly why I write and post the way I do. I couldn’t do bland if I tried, in fact I did try for two yrs at a corporate bs job and almost died!

Now I say fuck traditional and boring, I’m doing things my way. I’m serial publishing my dark romantasy dual pov high stakes novel here on substack, this is just chapter 1

Couldn’t agree more!! 💃

I'm so over this over-the-jeans approach to content — it adds zero value and is totally forgettable. Let's bring back cvnty content!

Dre Beltrami's avatar

Over the jeans! 🤣 Me too, gurl. ME TOO! Give me some humor… some imperfection… something so human it feels criminal. Everything else has been done to death.

WTF Is Going On With's avatar

Love this, just subbed! 🤘 If you bored by bland content. Girl, my content might make you wet. Intellecutally, I mean 🥂

Dre Beltrami's avatar

Thanks!! I’ll definitely check it out. You know I love me the comedy content! 🌭

I don't have $1000 so all I can do is dare you to find one ounce of personality in my brand.

Dre Beltrami's avatar

I think that's a job better left for YOU! I double dog dare you to show me an ounce of personality in your brand. 🌭 I'm ready with my pitcher of margaritas.

Justin Zimmer's avatar

Ooh, I’m ready to stick my tongue on that lamp post. I love margaritas, but hand made, in a shaker, Contreau over Triple-sec. Love them so much, I almost named one of my daughters Margarita in honor of their role in her conception. (Not sure if I’m showing personality, or just personality disorder.)

Dre Beltrami's avatar

Oh fuck, I want a batch. I love that version. And if this is a personality disorder... then I don't know what to call the shit going on with me. 😂 This just sounds like brilliance to me. 🤷‍♀️

Justin Zimmer's avatar

Then let’s just call it drunk and disorderly.

Dre Beltrami's avatar

I'm cool with that!

Carla Mardell's avatar

Brilliant post

Dre Beltrami's avatar

Awww, thanks sweetie!! 🫶

Benjamin Sharp's avatar

Little cracks in my shell after this. Fuck!

Dre Beltrami's avatar

That's music to my ears!! 🥳 Called out + roasted... with love. Let that weird shit hang out, brotha. Your kindreds will love it!

Snort-laughed a few times at this. I have never understood the people who put on a mask every day for work. That always felt exhausting. Made a decision about 30 years ago to just be myself -- slightly more professional than me just being me -- in my work life. Maybe it hurt my career when I was younger, but I've at least remained mostly sane.

Dre Beltrami's avatar

Mission accomplished! 😂 It makes me sooo sad. I can’t believe I did it to myself. But we CAN’T go into this AI era with these masks. We’ll literally destroy humanity. I’m not letting that happen. The world needs this feral truth bomb right now more than ever. 🌭

Bryant Duhon's avatar

Live, learn, and carry on. Humanity has been worried about destroying itself since . . . oh, humanity was invented I would guess. :)

But, sadly, we've "advanced' to the point that we could shit our own beds so much we suffocate ourselves.

Dre Beltrami's avatar

I couldn't have said it better. 😂

18 years in my career and always tried being someone I wasn’t to stay out of trouble. I’ve been in the HR office more times than i can count. 5 years ago i to just said F it and let the freak weirdo out at work. A 46 year old weirdo just working on computers making autistic noises, doing cartoon voices like Daffy and such…the young Millineals and Gen Z employees don’t know what to make of me even other Gen X and boomers there don’t. I’m having fun though to get through the day

Bryant Duhon's avatar

So . . . "noises." I am curious. LOL.

Dre Beltrami's avatar

Tried to keep that mystery alive as long as you can!

Dre Beltrami's avatar

And that is its own kind of wealth... don't let anyone steal those joy hits out of your life again! My crazy will NEVER go back in the boxes provided again. 🌭

Mother Hood's avatar

This was epic 🔥

Dre Beltrami's avatar

Awww, thanks, sweetie!! I don’t know if I’ve ever had so much fun writing something. 😂

Zach Hively's avatar

Fuck to the yes to the wow, I didn’t even know those places could tingle like that.

Dre Beltrami's avatar

Because we've gone numb. It's time to FEEL AGAIN! 🥳
