Dammit guys!

Listen up all you guys - I refuse to let this insanity continue without saying anything. Bill you wrote this:

"Ask Todd about my work and crap. I have people like Todd to back me up. That house of horrors dude is pissed off at me already becuase I got to make Chas Baluns official website before he did. My new site has already won a ton of awards for being on the net only a few months. Forgive and Forget. I already said sorry to everyone i fucked 2 years ago with stealing there graphics."

Here is my actual response. I only know about you from the time I met you on the net and on the film set when you were a zombie in the film. I thought you were an OK guy and you had a lot of brains and you knew about Horror. I liked you. One thing I never do is brag. people hate braggers. I don't have to brag becasue I have no ego. Ego causes trouble bud. I don't need that. People usually talk for me or brag about me, but I won't do it. Some of my early work sucks major. We all start someplace. It took me yaears of learning and fighting and proving myself after that. The reason is this. Once people get an idea about you or your work, you have to show them they are wrong and it is very hard to do. Some narrow minded people out there still hate my films even though they haven't seen one in 10 years. It's their loss. I made some big mistakes then and allowed that crap to be distributed all over. Most directors hide their crappy early stuff in a closet. The point is, we all make mistakes. I made mine, I allowed people to get a bad first impression, and then I started giving a damn and learning. It took until I won awards for two films, Moonchild and Zombie Bloodbath 2 for people to take me serious again. Now I have won all kinds of things, but it took hard work and it took swallowing my pride when people said I sucked without even giving it a chance. Now it's your turn.

Do I back you up Bill? Yes in many ways. I think your heart is in the right place, but sometimes it seems as if your mouth wins the battle. You gotta learn to chill out, relax, watch people. You remind me a bit of myself at yoru age, only I didn't have the ego, nor did I have the attitude. You need to learn that to gain allies, you must give them a REASON to respect and appreciate you. I am your friend, but I will not say you are 100% right unless I feel you are. And here is how I feel....

You and Nail and some others had some crap go down. Big deal. It's over. Let it die. It ain't ELvis and it can't come back from the dead and go to Burger King. You both I am sure blew up and things were said that was bad by both guys... so what? It happens. Have either of you ever met? Do you realize you are getting this emotional and worked up over a dumb-ass internet argument? It happens all the time... why? It's easy. The problem with the net is that people are just typing things and you put whatever emotion you want, and whatever meaning you want, into the simple words. Someone could be joking and laughing, but the other person gets pissed and takes it all serious. It's just a computer guys. There's a whole world out here that never heard of any of us... besides - ask yourselves this: What the hell does it matter in the big picture? NOT A DAMN. People are more important than this! People are what keeps us doing what we love doing. People are what make us smile and cry and scream and yell. People make it all turn. People are more important than bullshit.

Bill, just calm down and let it ride. Spend your energy on something that matters like this new site deal we have, and quit being such a crank. Don't burn bridges. Nailhead as a person is more important than a petty argument, as are you. You guys are alive and both giving back to the genre we love. If we fight each other, then the other guys win. You see? It would be like Desert Storm where 98% of all USA casualties were caused by OUR OWN men! They shot each other! That's the best way for an enemy to win a battle. Let the other team wipe each other out. We all must unite and stand together against these other assholes. Take care guys, and understand that I am friends with both, and with all who are truthful, love horror and fight to make us survive.

Now, let's get busy building an empire!

Your pal,
Todd
