Bitch, Kiss My Ass! by Michael Davis – Straight No Chaser #300 | @MDWorld

You MUST be out of your fucking mind!
That’s what I wanted to shout at a meeting I had today with some true Hollywood players.
I was in a meeting with a potential partner on a project, and halfway through the meeting I realized I wanted them to kiss my ass.
No, I did not yell that into their faces, and no, I didn’t put them on blast so I could shame them into thinking my way.
By the way — “on blast” means that you call someone on his or her shit. I did not call them on their shit.
When I got home, I received a call that put all this into perspective, and you know what I realized?
This Hollywood bullshit is not important. I thought it was important, but it’s not.
I’m in the middle of a true crisis, and nothing I do or say in a bullshit Hollywood meeting will change that. It’s not about a deal or an opportunity — it’s about a situation in my life and I have no power.
None, zip, nada.
I was stupid. I thought I could get away with something that was clearly a farce, but I was wrong, I was naïve, I was stupid.
I’m a black man who stepped outside of my place.
Now because of that, I have to go dance on the floor in the round.
I’m not mad — I’ll be OK, and when this shit is all done…
…I’ll be back.

Next time you’re going to one of those Hollywood meetings, Brother MOTU, I recommend you bring an axe. A big ol’ axe, like Thor would carry, not a weeny little Lester Maddox axe. If there’s a problem with security (and I’ve seen you handle those), just tell ’em you’re delivering a prop.
When you get to the meeting, carefully and respectfully place the axe directly in front of you on the conference room table. Don’t mention it, don’t refer to it, but when the bullshit gets particularly thick simply run your thumb over the edge. If you can, make the softest, most loving cooing sound as you do so.
Look, you weren’t going to get whatever you were there for anyway, so you might as well leave an impression.

Mike,
I’ll get what I was there for and after I do I’ll make sure the dick who was THE dick in the meeting is dealt with.
As YOU well know, I play Chess not checkers. I’m always a couple of moves ahead.
