One glimpses the source.
Sorry for the extreme lag in updating. I've been fairly busy with things.
I passed up casting on X-Files because I needed my own single-breasted suit, and there was no way I could find one in time before filming the next day. I had no money to buy one, not even at a thrift store. Oh well.
The good news though, is that today I was cast on C.S.I.! I will be doing a 4 day stint on the show, as a paramedic. I don't have all the details yet, but 4 days of filming for one episode is pretty big! Weeeeee!
It was just yesterday that I saw a really cool paramedic uniform at the thrift store that I wanted to buy, and now, I'm playing one on TV. :0D
Tyrico auditioned for the gameshow Street Smarts and he got in! Hope he wins some money! He also has an audition for a Pepsi commercial, awesome! It's really exciting around here right now, so I can't really think of anything that's been going on.
I hope you're all doing well! Life is good! :0)

Is the force of life itself.
Today we signed up to Central Casting. Pretty cool.
Hey look at that, I'm already cast in something.
"X-Files" next Wednesday I do believe. Woot. More to come later! (such as, Ally McBeal, and Roswell, to name a few.) :0P
Estevan was cast in "Providence" while he was standing RIGHT there getting his picture taken. Cool! Time to be makin' some mIZZoney!
My friend Danielle is in a pop "band" (I think bands play instruments). Sort of like PopStars/PopStars 2. There are three guys, and three girls. Oi vey. Danielle is very talented, and I'm glad she's doing something...but a pop-band? Oh well. I might as well make their first fan website and maybe make some money off like...anything I can steal from Danielle's underwear drawer. HAH.

I "pre-registered" for:
in hopes of going. I checked out the list of people planning on going and I don't really know or read any of those blogs. But hey, it's in Vegas! Check the info out and maybe some of you can go too! Let me know and then maybe we can share a hotel room and be the cool kids of the convention! :0P

At approximately 5.45pm Pacific Standard Time, I received 1(one) email from previously mentioned girl, in which words such as "cutie", and "sweetie" were used and phrases such as "you are so thoughtful" were also used.
Hehe. I done good, ma.

Well so far, I haven't heard from previously mentioned girl. It's okay. I'm calm. She has 7 hours left in this day. I have faith.
*breathes*
Anyway, how badass is it that Lord Of the Rings got thirteen Oscar noms!?! It earned every single one of those. I can't wait until the next one.
Today Ty and I went over to a Tux shop to get our measurements done. We need them for the Central Casting thing we're going to tomorrow morning, only I didn't really want to tell the Tux guy that. So I said we were going to a wedding in another state and we needed our measurements done because I was the best man, etc, etc. He said it would just be a few minutes, as he helped another customer.
So we waited, and Ty made comments like "why do I feel like running away? Did you major in deceit in college?". All the while saying it loud enough so the guy could hear, so I tried to make it sound like we were talking about something else. I was like "whatever, you're the one macking on two guys at once, trying to ruin a relationship...shame on you. Deceitful."
Hah. Anyway, we got measured and all is good.

Second update for the day.I became slightly bored this evening waiting for Smallville to start, and I downloaded Bel Biv Devo - Do Me.
I know, I'm takin' it back old school. Check these lyrics out.
the time was 6 o'clock on the swatch watch / no time to chill, got a date, can't be late / hey, the girl is gonna do me / move to the jacuzzi / oo that booty / smack it up, flip it, rub it down / ohh nooooo
Okay, my favorite part is "6 o'clock on the swatch watch".
I mean, wow! They were blingin' it back then! A swatch watch! Bling bling! :0P
And how can you forget "smack it up, flip it, rub it down"! Classic lyrics!

Dreams can deceive.
When you go to get your haircut, you share a common bond of trust with the barber. You trust that they will cut your hair so as not to look like "a bear's butt". You confide in their expertise, with the knowledge that they hold in their head, to not butcher your hair to bits.
Today that trust was breached.
She destroyed it. And she knows it too.
You'd think that when you go in there, you can expect to not get a lawnmower taken to your head. She straight up took a weed-wacker to it!
I went in and said "I just want a trim." Doesn't this mean just a little snip here, a little snip there? She cleaned up the sides with a razor just fine, but what did she do to the top of my head?! I walked in with a spikey hair-do, yet after she was done cutting my hair she said "I don't know how you style your hair...". WHAT?! Did you not SEE that you were cutting SPIKEY HAIR when you STARTED!
I calmly said "I wear it spikey."
"Oh? Spikey..do you want me to cut it spikey?" she said.
"Umm...yes?"
So she snipped away again.
Realize that during this whole time she had been cutting my hair, she had me averted away from the mirror. I couldn't see at all what she was doing. I should have known she was doing so for a reason. That was the first sign, and I missed it.
After all was done, she didn't even brush the little hairs off my neck or face or anything!
I paid with my bankcard, and she rang up the price of the cut, and then when I looked at receipt I noticed there was no place for a tip.
"Oh, where do I put the tip?" I said.
"Oh whoops, you should have told me beforehand. You know what, don't worry about it." she said.
"Okay, I won't."
I think she knew of the horrible thing she had done, which is why it was so easy for me to get out of tipping her.
But you know what? It's not that bad. I can live with it, my hair grows fast.
I'll just buy a hat.

Frosting mountains white,
Exciting trees to verdant flame,
Dancing sparrows on your wing,
Swirling waves into long sighs.
You breathe,
And all things live.
Whenever I let my facial hair grow out a little, I feel more and more lazy. Even the slightest bit of a shadow and I have an air about me that just makes me feel lazy. And when you're like me and your facial hair grows faster than George Bush running this country into debt, then you're lazy all the time. (Okay, so I can't grow facial hair that fast.) Well I'm clean shaven right now, and I feel very productive. I've been wanting to make stuff, do stuff, and accomplish things all day long.
I've brainstormed and I've pondered. Imagined and pontificated. Speculated and deliberated.
But I still haven't decided.
We'll see though.
In other news, Tyrico and I are going to Central Casting this week to sign up. Basically they handle a ton of casting of extras for almost anything and everything in this city. It's not something you want to get stuck into doing, but hey, it's easy money right now. You pretty much call in on whatever day you want to go work, and they give you a few options on where you want to be an extra at, then you go, spend a day on the set doing whatever, and get paid $100 bucks for your work. Simple enough.
I'm going to be adding an "About" section soon, because some people have expressed interest in knowing more about me and my background. Wow, what a bunch of weirdos.

Diet, mind, conditions
Hold the possibility of correction.
So last night was the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics! This thing was four hours long! Why the hell did I watch it all?
Well, I didn't go out last night like I had hoped. Zoe' was too tired, so she just wanted to clean her apartment and go to sleep. So I just sat at home, as did my roommates, and we all just watched the ceremonies.
We had to keep ourselves entertained. So we made our own commentary. No, I'm sorry, Katie Couric and Bob Costas were not enough.
Although Bob was quite humorous. He kept cutting off Katie whenever she said something, and he even started saying something during the national anthem! Like he just thought of some "real good" line, and he just had to say it before he forgot it. Picture it, the national anthem is being sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the flag from the World Trade Center is being held out, and Bob Costas goes "It's twenty degrees here in Salt Lake...", and then probably some producer is yelling in Bob's earpiece "NOT NOW! QUICK, CUT BOB'S MIC!". You know he had it all planned out, because after the anthem was over, he said the exact same words. "It's twenty degrees here in Salt Lake, but that's not what is causing the goose bumps." What the f*ck?! He also made some comment during the whole performance deal that cracked us up; "It's never a good thing to be chased by giant icicles." Haha! Oh really?!
Most of the time, we had imagined with all the hyped up security they had snipers posted all over the place. Not controlled by any federal enforcement agency, but controlled by NBC. This way they could take care of anyone who messed up during the performances.
*sniper radio* "The little girl fell down while skating, take her out! Now..NOW!!" *sniper shoots paralyzing dart and takes out little girl*
"Shoot those fools playing with their flashlights in the audience!"
Or when Sting and Yo-yo Ma performed, I imagined that weird looking dude that backs-up Sting in "Desert Rose" comes running out on the ice.
"Sting! Sting! You forgot about me! What about me?! Ohhhh desert rose..ohhh ohhh ooooo aaaaaa ooooooo! OOohhh ohhh oooo OO ohhh!!"
"Quick! Take him out! Take him out now!!", Sting screams.

That's the book I'm currently reading. A quote:
"At least fifty punks were living at the Canterbury. You'd walk into the courtyard and there'd be a dozen different punk songs all playing at the same time. It was an incredible environment." -Belinda Carlisle
Wow, that must have been an awesome time! This book so far is very interesting, straight from the mouths of the scenesters, zinesters, groupies, filmmakers, and musicians who were there! Badass!
Anyway, the house is in focus. We're all concentrating on making something happen this year. If we concentrate, and put all our effort into it, it will happen. We won't be held back. Tyrico is determined to get into a Soap Opera. Best of luck to him! He'll do it.
I on the other hand, have my focus on getting the lead in a movie. Independent, student, major motion picture... I don't care! I want the lead in something! And I'm going to get it this year! This is my year, the year of the snake.
I'm going to do this. And you'll be here for the ride!

Gladden in silence.
Adore silence.
One thing I enjoy is a nice room-temperature Dr. Pepper. Most everyone who knows me, knows this little fact about me. I don't drink Dr. Pepper when it's ice cold. I prefer to keep my cans in the cupboard, and not in the fridge. I don't really know why, I guess it's because the warmth of the soda gives it more bite. :0P
You know the Dr. Pepper commercial with Garth Brooks? Well there's a really strange looking old man in it, and a lot of people are wondering who the hell he is, and why the hell he's in the commercial? And once you take notice of the old man, I don't really think you can watch the commercial again and actually pay attention to the star of the commercial. Your gaze is focused on the just-off-camera clips of this creepy old man. So I ask:

Mouth tastes, but also speaks.
Nose breathes, but also smells.
Eyes see, but also show.
Ears hear, but also balance.
Last night I had a great time doing nothing with Zoe'. She's really an awesome girl, and I'm glad we've finally had the chance to get together and hang out. It was long overdue. :0)
My favorite part, besides layin' on the couch watchin movies, was when I was leaving and I said "Well, we'll have to do this again, except go out and do something." and she said "What can we do that doesn't cost money?".
Oh I'm in love!! Hahaha.
My Real World Fantasy Challenge team only made 89 points last episode! If I may use the phrase..."that is BUNK!".
Oh, I apologize for that. I'll never use such a phrase again.
Fo'shizzle.

Receive grace with humility.
Guide with awareness,
Lead with modesty.
Well I took some new headshots last night, and I think I found one I like, and everyone I've shown it to has liked it as well. :0)
My friend Zoe' and I are going to hang out tonight. Don't have too much planned, because we're both fairly poor souls, but at least we'll get to hang out and have fun whatever it is we decide to do. She's supposed to call here in a little bit, so I should be getting ready. :0P I procrastinate WAY too much.
I need to check my Real World Fantasy Challenge team before I go though, a new episode is on tonight, and I want to make sure I have the right combination of crybabies and bitches. :0P
I must..win..the Saturn.

Yah! Go Patriots!!! (okay so I was secretly rooting for them to win, they were the underdog!)So the commercials were okay, not as memorable as some in the past. And the Government paid for commercials were... I dunno. Lost? I mean, I remember seeing them; something about terrorists, something about drug money. But it all flew across the screen so fast, that the meaning wasn't really there. That's how I felt at least.
The Britney Spears Pepsi Generation commercials were less than amazing.
I remember the ETrade commercial from last year, with the dot-com ghost city. That was classic. So I was a bit worried with what they were doing this year. That whole song and dance number confused me at first. I just thought "What are they doing? When does this get funny?" And then it did! Ahh, that was too good!
Anyway, go Patriots!

Sometimes merely looks,
Sometimes pounces without hesitation,
But never fails to act.
SNL tonight was okay. Britney Spears hosting and musical guest. Some of the funniest SNL skits in the recent past, haven't even really been that funny. But it's because someone loses character, starts laughing or something when they're not supposed to...that makes it funny. And I've started to think SNL is planning it this way. Ever notice that all the character-breaks take place when Horatio Sanz and Jimmy Fallon are both in the same scene? It's always because Horatio Sanz is being idiotic with his character, and Jimmy can't hold the laughter in.
And it's official, Tyrico just walked in from being at a friend's house watching SNL, and he said "it was tired.", meaning he did not like it. That's big words from a big Britney Spears fan. :0P
So tomorrow (later today) is the Superbowl, and I'm not really rooting for any team. I'm looking forward to the Government commercials that are going to air during the game. What's the deal with that?!
They'd better be funny, that's all I know!

Requires tenacity to survive.
Nothing too much occured Friday.
Of course it was Globalgasm day, and I've never participated, nor shall I ever... unless I had a partner to do it with. But I stopped in 15 minutes prior to when the whole shebang started, because I knew John would be in there preparing or whatnot. And that he was. I enjoy John's spirit. It's very similar to mine in most ways. Carefree, loving, exciting. Hard not to be drawn to someone like that. I'm glad I know him and worked with him, because he makes life more interesting in doing and having done so.
Anyhow, I wished everyone a Happy pre-gasm, and had to leave because our smoke alarm was goin' off like crazy and wouldn't stop. Not that I had to get on the floor and crawl to get under the smoke or anything, but I did notice a cloudy mix to the air as I opened my bedroom door. *cough cough* Kain's cooking again.
In other news, I'm going to bed.

But today there is no tradition.
Where is there a true path?
Tonight Tyrico and I went to see Brotherhood of the Wolf.
I'm not going to spoil it for those who want to see it still, but I'll just say the previews make it look "cool" when in fact it's really "long and boring with only a few cool parts." Hehe. And I don't mind subtitles, after the first 5 minutes of the film, I forget that I'm even reading them. But, I really wish I could have just known french and understood everything without having to focus on the lower half of the screen the whole time. :0P
Ty and I also called the MTV show "Dismissed" today, because we both said we'd go on it, why not? And think about it, even if we don't get on the show, there are a ton of single people there at the open call who won't get on it either. So if we're standing in line forever and we don't get any phone numbers, then we deserve to get dismissed. :0P
I just want to date two girls at once.
