Training is Nothing. Will is Everything.

Powerful Words

2008-07-05T07:29:58Z

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Think about them.

Moron Music

2008-07-02T07:53:43Z

More than a couple times in the last few weeks, references to the parodies we've done for Moron Life have come up out of the blue.

I *LOVE* the parodies... But I don't get to do them enough. Anyhoo, MySpace Music now allows you more than 4 songs on your Music playlist, so I uploaded the two missing Parodies tonight: Empire of Hurt and On YouTube Today. Need to kill some time? Check them out!!

And listen to Overplayed again, cause that's my favorite. :D

My (non commercial) Radio Debut...

2008-07-02T04:06:38Z

So I streamed the episode of Dr. Demento from June 22nd (thanks haloedone!!) And just about an hour in, there I was, singing. Now, Dr. Demento doesn't have the syndication prowess he once did, but my voice was heard from Albany, Oregon to Columbus, Ohio to Syracuse, New York to Mobile, Alabama. On the inside, I'm making EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE noises right now. :)

Anyway, when the song was over... well here... listen. (290 kb mp3 file)

Needless to say, I'm freakin' THRILLED with that. :)

You know that feeling you get when you know someone is about to yell at you for something? That tenseness that permeates your whole body, but radiates inward towards the center of your chest?

I've felt that way since I got up this morning, and I have no idea why.

However... this... this is so awesome it almost brought me to tears, and for four minutes and twenty-eight seconds, I laughed and didn't care...

Moron Life responds to Beverly Hills Chihuahua

It's got audio, so just wear a headset at work. Swearing is bleeped.

Fastest turnaround on a Moron Life bit EVER. Less that 48 hours concept to completion.

We're totally getting sued.

An Update of Some Substance

2008-06-28T23:00:49Z

Maybe.

I'm at the restaurant, and it's between shifts... I'm killing a little time pretending to be the manager. :)

Lessee, what happened recently...

CAMPING! It was hot and dusty, and I have lots of bug bites, but it was fun, and it's always good to spend time with Justin, Missy and the sproglings. I don't get to do that enough.

INTERVIEWS! Got another invite from ABC Family to sit in on an interview with Natalie Morales from The Middleman. Lots of fun. Got to ask her a couple questions about her comedy background and whatnot. Unfortunately, I *MISSED* the interview with Matt Keeslar, who plays The Middleman-- turns out he played Johnny Rocket in Waiting for Guffman! Holy crap!

RESTAURANT! Despite the suckitute of food service, the people here are too awesome for words sometimes.

MOVIES! Saw Wanted yesterday. H O L Y C R A P. Lots of gunfights. Great special effects and stunts. Ridiculously pretty cast. And it actually had a mostly decent story line. Overall, I give it two thumbs up for the pure fun factor. Apparently it's based on something that I don't know about, but I'll have to check that out.

FESTIVAL! We start up in less than two weeks. Want to volunteer? Let me know!

PHOTOGRAPHINGY! Blurb.com is having a Photo Book contest. Rather than run around getting releases signed from everyone who was in my first book, I'm putting together a bunch of photos from Nepal, and I'm going to submit that. First prize is $25000, so I have to at least try, right? If you want to peek at the work in progress, check here (warning, large PDF download). It still needs some polish and tweaking (and a couple more pages, I think).

I believe that is all for now...

- Post 3 things you've done in your lifetime that you don't think anybody else on your friends list has done.
- See if anybody else responds with "I've done that." If they have, you need to add another! (2.b., 2.c., etc...)
- Encourage your friends that feel like playing to cut & paste this into their journal to see what unique things they've done in their life.

1) Thrown up in a dirt alley in Kathmandu, Nepal

2) Had lunch with Henry Winkler

~~3) Sung on stage at Carnegie Hall~~

3b) Been complimented on my Croatian accent by a native Croatian speaker. And I don't speak Croatian.

Dody Goodman 1915-2008

2008-06-23T22:14:03Z

Seems like it's a day for Obituaries. This one, though, hits a little closer to home. My Uncle Dick was good friends with Dody. I'd dined with her a couple times, and had been to her condo on the Upper East Side. So this one is a little more personal for me.

For those that don't know her by name: IMDB -- CNN

She was the school secretary in Grease and Grease 2, and Tom Hanks' secretary in Splash. She was a regular on Broadway, and was the voice of Miss Rebecca Miller on Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Bah.

Sitting in extra holding. So far so fun!

Due to my duties as casting assistant, I got pulled from the first shot to go hunt up some more extras. Ended up walking around Stanford asking young students if they wanted to be in a movie.

Another item checked off the list. ;)
