The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[ponyboysunset]

I once sent $20 to Rollye James via paypal as a thank you for all she does. I mean hell, the woman promotes my stuff for free and never asks for a dime in return. You know what she did, she sent it back insisting that I do something nice for myself instead, that me contributing to the show was more than enough. The reason I bring this up is this: That is a class act. I actually wanted to send her some money and she refused it. Now I realize how hard it is being and unknown, I am one myself. But never, in my life would I ever ask for money from people. But that's just me. I had a nice listener send me some equipment because they wanted to, not because I ever asked for it. How are people not embarrassed by this behavior? We are entitled to nothing in this life time.

[Who]

Agreed.   He was just talking about how he *could* do that to Noory.  He found another way to get an ipad, obviously.    It was classic Falkie though! 

That part is obvious from watching the video.  He didn't say he intended to do it - just that he "could" if he were dishonest.   But how do you explain the fact that this tale of George allegedly offering to buy him new glasses started in November 2013 and continues to this day?  Do you believe George really made the offer?  If he did he would have paid for the glasses long before March 2015.

Like it or not, that's just Falkie.  He complains about his health, poverty level and cleanliness constantly, doesn't he?   You and I all know he's more likely to take your donation and buy a camera he doesn't need  with it than a new pair of glasses (yes, Falkie and I have discussed how his GoPro should be more than enough - except that he can't figure out how to use it), but we also know that he's just as likely to clean up his living room as he is to walk without hobbling.   There's no arguing reality here.   Just enjoy the ride while he's still alive.

You're enabling him. You are lighting his crack pipe. He doesn't need that tripod.
Falkie wants to be a multimedia star. I want to be paid to sit on my ASS and product-test video games- but that isn't happening.
Yes, this thread has been a riot and the videos have largely entertained, though they have become really peevish and whiny lately.
It isn't fun listening to somebody talk about their problems. You sure as hell shouldn't pay for it.

[Yorkshire pud]

oh please.

Indeed; Because he's not clever enough to see the distinction, I'll spell it out:

Falkie: Has no regard for anyone but himself. EVERYTHING is about him, or if it's someone else, it's the interaction (no matter how tenuous) he has with them/it. He has no shame about tapping money off people; so much so, he's not even embarrassed about it. I can only assume he was brought up to hold his hand out and expect it to be filled with silver/doughnuts/t shirts...whatever. Priorities: Falkie's priorities are tech. Not basics. He needs educating on this, but he's so fucking arrogant and blinkered, he'll la la la before the sentence is finished. Normal people get the basics right...we don't always get it right, but we try. Falkie thinks 'his' money should pay for the latest Apple product, and everyone else se to his 'vital' things.

MV: He has the forum, and I imagine he makes monney from clicks/ads. He has a discrete link to donate at the top.. No-one is pressured, asked, begged, cajoled into paying a single cent. Not one. I have on occasion, and MV is gracious enough to thank me, no matter how small an amount. MV doesn't NEED my money to make the forum work, but from my POV, I think he's put in the graft, why not reward him in some small way? it's MY choice. Not a guilt trip because MV makes me feel I should.

So Area 51...if you think there's a true comparison, you're more stupid than Falkie.

You are absolutely correct about MV. I don't remember which gabcast it was but someone talked about donating to the forum and he sounded embarrassed. It was a truly modest moment, as I think he is a truly modest guy. (And no I am not paid to say that, just my honest opinion. lol)

Yes, MV's modesty brings a tear to the eye.

[ponyboysunset]

Batemen, that was truly beautiful, thank yew!!!

Did you steal his home movie collection?

it's funny you say this, because i've been thinking about replacing everybody's avatar with an animated .gif donate button.  let me know what you guys think about that. 

ta!

As long as it prevents you logging in unless you donate first.

[paladin1991]

oh please. Please, please, please send some money.

FIXED

[Daggit]

Agreed.   He was just talking about how he *could* do that to Noory.  He found another way to get an ipad, obviously.    It was classic Falkie though!    And I think it's important to note that my relationship with Falkie started by him asking for a loan, which he did offer to pay back.   This last Christmas, I sent him $20 cash in the mail to take Kathy out for a cheeseburger.   It's the least I could do - Falkie has given me loads and loads of entertainment and never asked me for a dime over the phone.  I considered it a Christmas gift to a friend.

All of you who complain that he's asking for money should take another look at this.  Although he's not Art Bell, or some other great radio personality, Falkie has given you countless hours of entertainment, whether it is through his youtube channel or by witnessing all that has been brought forth (from him and his detractors) on bellgab.    Sending the guy even $5 isn't a waste of money, considering it will just encourage him to give you even more of that entertainment - whether you are laughing with him or at him.   
I see no harm in him asking for money or you giving it.   It's no different than donating to MV for running bellgab, which I have done as well.

Like it or not, that's just Falkie.  He complains about his health, poverty level and cleanliness constantly, doesn't he?   You and I all know he's more likely to take your donation and buy a camera he doesn't need  with it than a new pair of glasses (yes, Falkie and I have discussed how his GoPro should be more than enough - except that he can't figure out how to use it), but we also know that he's just as likely to clean up his living room as he is to walk without hobbling.   There's no arguing reality here.   Just enjoy the ride while he's still alive.

It's a shame that Falkie will read this and not realize just how much he is being trolled by you. He'll read your post, gloss over it like the dumb ass he is and continue to accept your calls as you pass the crack pipe and light it for him. How you are not ashamed by this is baffling.

Others on here openly ridicule him (some if it justified, some not) but you are the Brutus to his fat fucking Caesar.

Exactly Drone, you posting here all that so blatantly just shows how completely fucked up this is. Seriously, your "Ask Falkie" segment, where you were joyfully inquiring whether or not Falkie killed his father was really one of the most disgusting things I have ever heard. Doesn't Falkie have like 10 dead siblings? Shouldn't you also investigate this path in your future endeavors?

Enjoy the ride?  You've made Falkie your personal amusement park.  His behavior, boorish and self-serving as it is,  is self-destructive and you're greasing the skids.  You need to take a good long look in the mirror. 

[SixWeekTenure(tm)]

Falkie is clueless, sure, but I don't think anything he does is with malicious intent like area51drone and his ilk. Without Falkie, they wouldn't know how to entertain themselves.

[Chocolate coated jackboot]

Falkie there's lots of instructional websites and forums out there on how to edit video and produce quality material. Learn all that stuff inside out and make the most of what you have rather than waste money on expensive equipment. It's kinda like a fat kid that buys a $150 pair of sneakers and expects to be Michael Jordan

For instance I notice most of your videos begin with 30 seconds of you staring  at the camera while some barely audible theme music plays in the background. here's an article on how to mix audio with iMovie
http://www.ehow.com/how_6972759_mix-audio-video.html
the result will be a more impressive video. Or better yet, do a search for "freeware mac video title creator" and learn how to make a cool intro for your videos

[3OctaveFart]

Talk to me out here, Falkie. No private messages, please. Not up for your anger.

That would be actual work. He'd rather stare painfully into the camera for 2 minutes first.

Everyone please stop calling and talking to Falkie for 7 to 9 hours a day so he has more time to improve his video skills.

[SnapT]

I would like to see Falkie appear on the next season of DECKER as Agent Jack Decker's father.  Let's donate money to make it happen.
http://youtu.be/B5N-A20O0bQ
Falkie, you should solicit donations by offering to do videos on the topic of the donator's choice.  Say, $5 gets you a video with Falkie expounding on any topic you want.  That would be something to be less ashamed of.  Then you can morally buy whatever you want with the poor sap's cash.

Hardly.  I'm sure that I'm just as much entertainment for him as he is for me.  He's a lonely old guy.  He openly admits it.  He hates little chris (most of the time it seems), but still wants to talk to him because he's lonely and he has nothing else to do.   I don't make fun of him, I just say it like it is.   We have great conversations and he's got a lot of entertaining stories.   What's funny to me is that the rest of you sit there and bash him repeatedly but then stick up for him in your next post, as if he's in need of help.   I've said it before and I'll say it again, he's not a stupid man.   You are all being played like fiddles.  The fact that any of us, myself included, give Falkie ANY attention just proves that he's in control here.   He's a black hole, sucking in everyone who comes into contact with him, and nothing can seemingly stop it.   I just accept that - and, like I said, I enjoy the ride. 

[SnapT]

I just accept that - and, like I said, I enjoy the ride.

It's a beautiful ride.

it's all the comments in this thread that keep me laughing. i'm not talkin the "ha ha" kinda laugh. it's the sudden fine mist of liquid that just warped out of your nose spontaneous nothing going down, air coming up kinda laugh. what the hell kind of name does that sort of laugh have anywho? 

edit: i did vote to remove the thread. i know a bad addiction when i get one.

Wrong! lc can go to hell. i have no desire to ever talk to him again. quit saying this.

Whoa!  The Falkster must be in the hospital (again). Look how long it has been since he posted.  Get well, brother.  Love the back and forth in your thread.

[coaster]

Wrong! lc can go to hell. i have no desire to ever talk to him again. quit saying this.

So how many phone calls have you had with him since posting this?

[SnapT]

Worried about Falkie.  Post another video for us, big guy.
