Storytellers...

...that inspire.

Close your eyes.

And let the words speak.

A while back...

I told you about an architect that I used to work with. From my almost unheard of use of the phrase “c*ck-sucker” in that story you should have been left with a strong impression that we didn’t get along too well. Over my 4 years of working with him I really grew to dislike him...to the point I had to check myself when he started to attend my gym. What got under my skin the most was the way he would prejudge and look down on people, and he always had something negative to say. And the worst thing about it is he’d never come at people directly. He’d just say some slick sh*t thinking whoever was privileged enough to speak to him wouldn’t be sharp enough to catch it. Well, around the time I was about to leave that job I was in a staff meeting where he had mentioned that his grandfather was a famous animator that worked closely with Walt Disney. No one really asked him, so the way he brought it up always stuck out in my mind as “classic c*ck-sucker”.

Well, it just so happens that I was doing some internet research yesterday and stumbled across his grandfather. It was true, he did work for Disney. In fact, he worked on Steamboat Willie. That's a big one. Then I started looking over his filmography and discovered a few of these little gems sprinkled throughout the list.

Why am I not surprised?
