HOORAY FOR BOOBIES!!!

The Disenchantment of Hollywood

I am currently going through a period of SERIOUS disenchantment with Hollywood. I have been released by MZA, because, accorduing to Michael Zanuck, we had not reached a point that he was happy with in our professional relationship. I'm not upset with him, because if truth be told in this situation, I was already thinking about doing a similar action against him myself. I feel as though I was systematically being sent on auditions that I was not right for in the first place. Things like a Mexican gangster, a little person, a homeless Russell Brand - type (Isn't that a bit repetitious). Anyway, one can easily see where I was being placed in a situation for failure, by these auditions. Whatever, I was a bit disapointed that I wasn't successful in any of them. My major bitch came though with the open call for Tarantino's western, Django Unchained, I pleaded with MZA to please do ssomething to get me in there, and yet my pleas went unanswered. I was perfect for the film, I can ride and I have shot period weapons, something that is exceedingly rare amongest my peers. Apart from that I can do a Southern (LA. or AL/FLA Panhandle) accent. I actually need to see if there still remains a connection with DL White for representation as well as find someone new before pilot season kicks in full bore this summer. I have sent a press pack to Baron Entertainment, we'll see.

Architecture

I've been on an architecture kick here recently. I'm really digging on the geometric shapes in a residential context. I have also began a fondness for a Southwestern/mission - style of building. My father lives in Tularosa New Mexico and everything there is in a Pubelo style. At first look it is a bit unsettling, but the way the buildings are constructed only adds to their appeal (Well the newer style that is). They are great for energy savings, and quite spacious. As a boy living in New Orleans and Upstate New York, these buildings seemed so exotic. My dream would be to design and build my own house

Day Shoot

I got a call from Central asking if I would be interested in doing a dayshoot on the 20th. The shoot is for a canceled TV show called Breaking In, its on FOX and features Meghan Mullaly (who worked on Last Resort with me many, many moons ago in Catalina), and Christian Slater. This is the last day of filming for the entire show and its going to be interesting how this is going to play out. I am working at Sony Studios in Culver City, which will be a new one for me, as well as working a pre-exsisting AFTRA contract. I've been out of the loop long enough, that I have no idea what this even means, but I suppose that in about 5 hours I will find out. I will be working in a mock up of the infamous Star Wars cantina scene. I am to dress in dark, menacing clothes (like that's gonna be a problem). Leather jackets, they said, if you have them, "would be good." My call is at 4 so this will be a late night. We'll have to see what we can do, I wish I had a decent camera.

Girls and sickles!!

American society became truly united 65 years ago

Thank you Jackie Robinson for bringing the USA into the modern world. His story and what he suffered for all of his, is part of the reasons why I will alawys be a Dodgers fan (although Red Sox first).

Jackie's contract stated that he had to suffer through all of the abuse that would be thrown his way for three years. He then sat in Branch Rickey's office and was called every name in the book. This segmet of Jackie's contract is what was key to his success. There were other Negro Leaguers who were more talented, but Jackie Robinson, an educated, Black man was better suited, not because of his skills which were vast, but because of his honor. He had to maintain this honor, because he represented not just himself, but an entire race of people. His failure would have been the failure of assimilation. After three years, he began to fight back and was therefore dubbed "An uppity Nigger." Jackie was dynamic in the field because he introduced the Negro League style of play into the bigs. Thank you Jackie

I guess something big happened 100 years ago

The woman is Dorothy Gibson, she was a model/filmstar of the day, and this disaster helped to seriously kickstart her film career. She hopped into a lifeboat wearing only a "sleeping gown", sweater and a blanket

Hippy Killer Hoedown IV

Once again I was unable to attend Kutty Notebloom's Hippy Killer event this year. Primarily due to being brooooooke ass. I suppose that this is better than last year in a way. I was working and getting paid weekly, but because the job is typical for what's going on in the workworld these days.

Employers are quick to hire only part time workers because they can only work them 3 hours a week. They can also work them until late and have them return a few hours later. I was working, or grossly under-employed at a company that used this technique on a daily basis. I would get written up for miniscule "infractions" like clocking in too early after lunch, or having Doctor's appointments, I was even written up for missing work after I stood 15 feet away from Allie Kerr after she was hit by a train. This sort of thing is becoming more and more common, at one point we were told that the company didn't give raises, and "What's wrong with that, why do you feel that this is a dead end company?" They said that with a straight look on their face. It truly was a confrontational workplace.

Anyway, this year I am no longer working as I gladly left my previous company while I was in the Masters program and getting my teachering credital. Because I am no longer student teaching, I am unemployed, unable to get unemployment insurance because I complained and told my previous HR person that I couldn't work with the current managemnt aristocrats that I was leaving. Needless to say, I am broke dick. The first year I went to HK I didn't get but 3 hours the following week. It sucked beyond all belief thatwe couldn't go this year, but I am more content with the reason this year. Well, the steering rod in Susie's Malibu also snapped too, but that happened later in the day.

There's still plenty of other events coming up this year: Hell On Wheels, Born Loser, Father's Day at Century Cycles, Hootenanny, Parts 411. I hope to see all you fuckers out there.

On the threshold of greatness.

So happy regarding the news out of Chavez Ravine! The Dodgers now have the foundation in place for an inpending dynasty. The new ownership of Magic only makes this seem even more optimistic. Having grown up in San Diego, however, I am still a Padres fan, but I have always been a Dodgers fan, the history the tradition, the Blue, Clayton, Kemp, Either, Loney, Carter, Manny, Duke, Tommy, Drysdale, "The Jewish Kid", Pee Wee, Jackie! At one time the Dodgers represented what was best about America, I am confident that they will soon represent what is best about the National League

Women don't care...

South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley* (Republican, Tea Party, NOT a Rhodes Scholar) has said, "Women don't care about contraception." Which I think is the utmost in swinging, hairy, concrete balls. To marginalize over half the population, including the half to which you declare yourself is both really childish and well, let's be honest about it, fucking stupid. So what I have done is make an additional list of other things women don't really care about.

Fart jokes
Welding
Decaying animals
Adriana Lima's knockers
Mathematics
The Family Guy
Blood Sucking Freaks
Full Frontal Nudity
Lighting Farts - or generally anything farty connected
Telling the truth in regards to last years tax owed by the Gubmint*
Anna Beatrice Barros bellybutton
Fist Fights
Knife collections
History
Westerns/War movies
Motorcycle helmets
Decaying buildings
Stick Books (books you read that make your stick stand up)
Burping, Spitting and Swearing or Cow Chip throwing contests
Porn
Peeing outside
Believing the retarded*, inbred, anti-human, dogmatic political bullshit* that make soundbites on news/bumberstickers and/or tee shirts

Speaking of ink.

Cute and innocent to "Holy Shite!! I'll never forget that one!"

New Ink

I just got my sailor girl colored in and added a couple of nautical stars in a port and starboard color on my right bicep. Next move will be coloring in my seahorse and add a shellback turtle with the words "Shellback" I'm not sure which arm it will go on, but it is currently in the works.

Heeeee's baaaaaaacck!

Manny Ramirez has recently signed a contract with the Oakland A's. After doing his 50 game suspension for a positive piss test, he will be in the line-up as a DH in the middle of the batting order. Most feel as though this is primarily just a publicity stunt, but I don't care, I dig Manny and find it difficult to be angry or disapointed with him. He's simply fun to watch. This seems to be a tradition with the A's, they have also followed this same path with Mike Piazza, Frank Thomas and Nomar Garciapara too

Its been a year since I witnessed the death od a 15 year old girl who was hit by a train

I am filled with sadness
consumed with guilt
I should have grabbed her
screamed to have her "come back"
Instead I dream and the train keeps rolling

I'm looking for a new bike, now that I own my outright

Any ideas?

The Chill of Death, sampling Mingus

The Chill of Death
As she clenched my hand
I knew she was coming
so I stood like a man
She drew up closer until
I could see her face
And I began to wonder
Hadn't I seen her
in some other place
She called for me
to move closer
As if to pay an old debt
But I knew it wasn't my time yet
This was not my year
Thank fucking Christ
its a leap year

Hello again

I have lost my internet for a while, and as you can now guess, I am back. The director I previously mentioned was Quentin Tarantino, and the project was Django Unchained, due to be released on Christmas Day in 2012. I, unfortunately did not make the cut, much to my annoyance as I actually am able to ride horses and have shot replica 19th Century weapons. I showed up to the audition which turned out to be a cattle call filled with people wearing steampunk and costumes. What I found to be oh so typical of Hollywood, the casting staff was also dressed up as well, sometimes this sort of thing annoys the fuck out of me about my industry. Naturally the casting people only showed any interest in those who dressed up as cowboys. Ironic, considering the fact that Django takes place in the 1860's. The timeline is closer to ROOTS or The Outlaw Josie Wales, than Stagecoach. As I looked around I felt as though I were at the Renniasasince (sic) Faire.

Thank Cheebus, I was already in the classroom, I maintained my facial hair for a few weeks and then shaved it off shortly around Christmas. I fiqured that I would tell the production company to "toss off" if I even got a call. It knots my gnad fur that these poseurs get the acclaim while those of us who are actually qualified to do the job are cast aside. Am I going to see the film when it comes out? Hey, its a Tarantino flick
