2014-09-08 Jay has foiled the bullies' plans; going to a comic convention

[Batman VS Tony Danza]

"I don't understand. I told these people I refuse to be remembered as a pedo but they still remember me as a pedo! I explicitly said not to!" We're entering Moleman territory. And considering a donation to Wikipedia just to brag about it. Class act.

 

[deadson]

darkanddefiant has the patience of a (non-self-appointed) saint, but Jay is just not getting it.

Oh the indignity! To be labelled a terrible person by a necrophile who touches kids!

Lol, what the flip does "non self-appointed saint" mean? XD

 

[Watermelon1337]

I am happy and content, and for anyone else who attempts to attack me, I will simply say their notions are incorrect.

All good people who know they've done something wrong admit that they just won't listen to a word anyone says against them. I mean, c'mon, if your mom says you've done nothing wrong, then that means it's true, right? Same as asking a cop or another parent of a small child. Showing that you've matured and bettered yourself means you ignore all other views because they might hurt you and to suck on your mom's teat for comfort because you already know that she'll agree with you in every single way. That is how you move on and show you're a better person.

Or, y'know, just donate to Wikipedia because "it's awesome."

BRB, you guys, donating to Wikipedia until they acknowledge that I invented Edible Pants

 

[Watermelon1337]

At least he's not donating to some children's group hoping they'll give him thanks via tickling. What? They made him do it!

 

[GREEDY FIREMAN]

...
I also forgot one point. I am usually completely A-OK with disagreements, but in this exceptional case, I have been saying, "And if you disagree with me, then to hell with you." That is because I know myself absolutely and completely without even the faintest sliver of doubt, so what I say about myself should be considered as true as law or science.

I have won because I refuse to be remembered as "that guy who got mistaken for a monster," and instead remembered as "that guy who puts on an awesome show that everybody loves!"

So, how can I make such a bold declaration? Well, let's just say as I have learned from past mistakes and swear never again to said mistakes, I have cleansed myself. I am not joking, I feel like a saint as I edit this. At this time, I have turned a new leaf. I am a clean man with all my woes behind me, and there is nothing anybody can do about it. Take my word for it or not, and if not, then to hell with you!

Seriously, I aim to do good as I always have and always will. Sure, we can learn from the past, but 1 or 30 years of nonstop heroism and charity throughout the future can easily compensate for any single imaginable incident. And the more people attack me for wrongs I have righted, the more *they* become wrong. There was a quote that sets the theme for my current state (and if you disagree with it, then to hell with you), a quote from Civilization 5 that was cited to George Bush:
"I think we all agree: the past is over."
...
And one last nail in the coffin for my former bothers:

To tie up everything, the past has now been solidified in a way that can not hurt me. Everything up to this point has been done by someone I am no longer. I put the past behind to reset and march into the future. It does not matter whether I march alone, or if my lover-partner is by my side (and believe me, I desperately want her by my side), or if I have a legion of fans following my lead, or some other circumstance. The constant fact is, I eagerly march into the future. While I learn from history, the past is no more.

Goldie, Goldie, Goldie, when you do something wrong, you don't get to decide you're forgiven, that's up to those you have wronged. Your insistence that "airing all my dirty laundry and vowing to never again commit to anything that could be confused for violation has rendered me cleaned and redeemed in the eyes of the almighty" reminds me of an illustration Jesus once gave:

Spoiler: Luke 18:9-14

9 He also told this illustration to some who trusted in their own righteousness and who considered others as nothing:10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.11 The Pharisee stood and began to pray these things to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like everyone else—extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.12 I fast twice a week; I give the tenth of all things I acquire.’13 But the tax collector, standing at a distance, was not willing even to raise his eyes heavenward but kept beating his chest, saying, ‘O God, be gracious to me, a sinner.’14 I tell you, this man went down to his home and was proved more righteous than that Pharisee. Because everyone who exalts himself will be humiliated, but whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

 

[He Sets Me On Fire]

Durn. Missed a couple.

Spoiler: Jay should be humble

darkanddefiant replies with "Please do."

He just doesn't seem to understand (or refuses to accept) the extent of the damage that's already been done, that the dam has already broken and all the cows have stampeded through it.

 

[Total Dingus]

a) The fact that donating $20 to Wikipedia is the greatest possible amount of goodwill that Jay can conceive of is a pretty amazing reflection of just how narrow his worldview is.

b) Is he setting up at this comic con, or just going there with a stack of books and attempting to sell them to the people around him? I am fairly certain that there are rules against that at any comic convention. You can't just walk in and start selling shit without buying a table.

I tell you, he'll understand once a cop tases the crap out of him... or at least until a mom hits him in the face with her purse for getting too confident with her 5 years old girl...

As I understand it that's exactly what he does. He shows up with some books and actively goes around bothering con goers to buy them. It's written about in his journals

Interesting. And probably very off-putting. And also tremendously unfair to those who've paid to have a table and the right to sell stuff there. It also bothers me that they have a specific "CHILDREN" focus, with Jay being there and all.

I had a friend (we are no longer on speaking terms) who used to do this with his fucking bootlegged merchandise. He got banned from the annual con at the community college near me for doing that shit. I wonder how Jay will react if his doing this shit accomplishes a similar end?

I'm surprised he hasn't been banned from anywhere yet, but I suppose there's so much going on at cons that things like this can fly under the radar for a long time. The A-Log in me wants him to get banned just because someone in some part of his life really needs to say no to his delusional behaviour.

That's not the A-Log in you. A-Log would be saying he needs to be hung, drawn and quartered less because he's a weapons-grade creep and more because you just hate his face and his lolcow (multiclassing in shuddercow by the looks of it) status makes it kind of okay.

 

[Watermelon1337]

Wasn't Jay's last con not very successful? I always thought he had bought a table because of his picture of him showing off his abomination of a comic at one on his DA page. If he's trying to sell his crap without a table he seriously needs to be banned; not that he'd learn his lesson, the little weasel, but so not even curious passerby give him a single red cent. It seems to be his only way of selling the comics.

I'm saving my Islams for when MOTLW 3 comes out. Will leak it the day it arrives

I don't remember him ever mentioning actually buying a table. The only thing he mentions is actually walking around the con with a copy of his book, hassling con-goers with his "booming voice". Maybe he buys tables, leaves his stuff there and wanders around with some books, and he just doesn't mention the tables in his journals. But from the way the journals are written I have the impression he just walks around the con with his comic in hand.

He also has mentioned (at least recently) that he has a 'tight budget' despite living in a mini-mansion, so now I'm finding it more believable that he skulks around and harasses people to check out his comics. Here's to hoping he gets kicked out, if so.

 

[Le Bateleur]

Jay gets a sellers' table when he goes to sell at cons; at least up to now that's what he's done. It's one of the reasons he's earned -$700 to date as a comic books artist. It'll be interesting to keep an eye on this page of the Annapolis convention website to see if Jay gets added.

Spoiler: I never noticed til now he makes mention of his table in relation to the kids' zone...

Awesome Con DC Preparations

I'm promoting this to Deviant Events because I feel that a comic convention in Washington DC is worth the extra attention as opposed to a "personal" journal!

It's that time, when DC's convention is this weekend as of this writing!

Come to the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. during April 18-20 and come see me at Awesome Con DC. This convention is boasting a lot of star power, and look for me in the Artist's section at table F8, which is almost on the exact opposite wall from the bathrooms and the kids zone. To put it into perspective, here is the map:

awesomecondc.com/wp-content/up…

CLICK IT! You might need to wait a minute for it to load. When you see the map, look for the big F in the circle. The 8 should be right next to the circle. THAT is where you will find me! Also, because you'll be buying from me in-person, FREE SIGNATURES!

IIRC He took only 40-50 books with him to Awesome Con and sold them all, probably to people who thought $4 was a bargain for the best laugh they'd have all weekend.

Jay's dad is a project management consultant and seems to be pretty successful at it. The Geis residence has an indoor pool, and Jay's dad collects Camaros. However Jay seems to be kept on quite a tight financial leash. He earned some money during the couple of weeks he was an IT technican, and he has a credit card, but other than that he doesn't seem to have much access to money.

From the Annapolis Comic Con :

"We do not encourage or condone that type of activity. It is unfair to the other artists and although we want everyone to enjoy our show, we will ask anyone who is soliciting without having purchased a table to please stop, take whatever they are selling out of our show and to leave if they continue to do it. It's a small show and we are there to promote a fun and exciting environment. if your acquaintance wants to sell their art, please have them apply for a table. They are fairly inexpensive and we would love to have them as an exhibitor.

Thanks,"
