Something I was thinking about today while I was taking a shower --
Do chicks pee in the shower? I mean, I know guys do. It's easy, convenient and hey.. we can point the spout towards the drain and not worry about it getting all over the shower floor.
But women, it's a different story. It'd just run down their leg or something and maybe puddle around their foot but, I bet you there are girls out there that pee in the shower. Just get the hot water to spray along the tummy area and let that pressure go.
Something to think about the next time you're getting Zestfully clean.

Where I'd rather be..
Sigh. There are places I find more exciting than where I’m at now. Las Vegas. Seattle. San Diego. Chicago. Dallas. San Antonio. But not Los Angeles (and the surrounding areas). Granted, I love the Getty, MOCA, select areas of Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Downtown. But, as a whole, I can’t stand LA. When I was in San Diego last weekend, it just felt so much more tolerable. More… entertaining. More, peaceful (even in a clubby, downtowny place like the Gaslamp district) even. And when I was in Dallas or San Antonio, those cities just rocked. My favourite though is Chicago.
See, if I wanted to, I could just pick up and leave. I have enough money to move my ass half-way across the country, find an apartment, and live for three months looking for a job. I’m sure I could find something in that period of time.
But..
I don’t. And I don’t know why I don’t. Well, I do, kinda. There’s the fear factor, which of course plays a big role in my daily decision making activities. Then there’s the website that’s being developed for the entertainment publication I produce. If that were to become successful, there’s no telling where I can go.
In downtown San Diego, the Hard Rock is building a hotel and condos. I’d love to live in one of those condos. I’m not saying that the website will make me millions, but I’m hoping that it will generate something worth the hell that I’ve put myself through for the last year.
Anyway, just a few more months. And then we’ll see what happens. I’m sooo close. Hell, I even got a screening DVD from NBC for a new show that’s coming this fall. It screened at Comic Con but how many people can say they have a copy IN HAND? Not many. Only a handful of people got to see it this thing, which by the way kicks ass. It should be NBC’s LOST. And, I request copies of movies that HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN RELEASED IN THE THEATRE yet and I get them. How cool is that?
Anyway, I digress. It isn’t about what I do anyway. It’s about where I want to be. And how much longer do I have to be here before I can move on to there. Day by day, that’s what they say. And who’s “They” anyway?
San Diego, man. San Diego. (on a side note – they’re building some cool condos in Vegas, too…!)

COMIC CON 2006
If I had to describe, in one word, Comic-Con - it would be OVERWHELMING. For the next four days, Downtown San Diego will be filled to the brim with geeks, nerds, comic book nuts and Sci-Fi guru's from around the world. Comic-Con is the largest Comic book convention on the West Coast, but it isn't just about comic books. It's also a haven for movie and television studios to launch their new releases.
One thing that ALL the studios have realised is that the comic book fanbase is HUGE. And so they're catering to this fanbase by sending in their big guns to do press, show pilots, sign autographs and woo bigtime to try and harvest the boatload of money that is within this demographic.
Besides the costume-draped kids in their Naruto and Wonder Woman costumes, the Star Trekkers and Battlestar Galacticans, you'll find a plethora of comic books for sale, software that will catalogue comics, software that will create comics and, yes, toys based off comics. But, you'll find more than that.
You'll find Lions Gate, Miramax, Sony, WB, IFC, and a host of other movie studios there to push their latest (albeit comic-related) movies. Booths to see while there - pretty much the aforementioned.
Upstairs, above the convention hall, you will find exhibit rooms showing new fare from the likes of the Sci-Fi Channel, NBC, ABC and anyone else coming out with a Sci-Fi story. Look for a show called HEROS from NBC. Looks to be a hit. But that's just my opinion. Also, from Sci-Fi Channel, EUREKA.
I hit the exhibit rooms to see the director of Azumi, Ryuhei Kitamura, talk about his influences and the filming of Azumi. Before that, I hit a discussion by David Arquette (and others) about his new movie The Tripper. There was supposed to be a film clip, but he lost it, so he pretty much told the whole plot of the movie, including the ending. Due to respect and the fact that he asked - I will not spoil it for my readers.
The highlights of the first day was the screening of RENAISSANCE. A Noirish story baed in the distant future, this ALL COMPUTER-DRAWN film is the shit. I will post up a review later. I was pretty captivated by this. Think SIN CITY meets ..hell, I don't know what else to compare it to. Completely realistic, right down to the movement of the eyes. It's black and white. And I mean, just black and just white.
But the gem was a 10.15p screening of THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED by Kirby Dick. If there is but one documentary you need to see, it would be this one. It will be released September 1st and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you see it. It is the story of the MPAA and how their control over the ratings system make or break films and their success in the box office. A group of directors speak on film about their feelings of the MPAA and how they censor, ruin or even kill movies being made today. On a side note, the MPAA gave this film an NC-17 rating. It's something you HAVE to watch if you are even remotely a fan of going to see movies. Review will be posted later.
Well, I must sleep as the next day for Comic Con is soon coming up.

Should Tom Selleck be Magnum in the Movie?
Simple answer - no.
I found a blog that wants him to reprise his role in the movie.. http://selleckismagnum.blogspot.com/
Here's the comment I made (just in case he gets all 1984 and deletes it):
The problem with your proposal is that Selleck is too old to play the role; not because he can't be an action hero but Magnum P.I.'s premise was that he was young, a PI and a lady's man. Sure, he can prolly get away with the lady's man part be he ain't no spring chicken anymore. And, sure, he IS Magnum P.I. but then the story would have to change to accommodate his being older and then if you bring in Selleck, you'd have to bring in the original T.C. and the original Rick and then the original Higgins. And since they're thrown in, the original Dobermanns, too (and, speaking of dog-years, they'd be ancient by now).
I mean, have you seen those Mastercard commerials that brought back old tv characters (esp. the one with MacGyver's Richard Dean Anderson? I thought that was extra cool but, man, he's OLD!)
Then, what about the A-Team movie? Are we going to petition that they bring in Mr. T as BA Barracus? Cos NO ONE should be able to play BA other than Mr. T. And Miami Vice - Colin Ferrell as Sonny? Only Don Johnson should be Sonny Crocket. Seeing Colin in one of those suits just made it.. wrong.
But, they did it anyway.
It's time to let the new generation have their own Magnum PI. We had Selleck - they can have... hmm.. who'd make a good Magnum?
Guy Pearce?
Jake Gyllenhaal?
Yeah, I can see Ben Affleck as Magnum...
David Hasselhoff? (Just kidding!)
And don't get me started on the whole Knight Rider movie.
Sorry, but no vote here.

Customer Service Sucks!
When I was younger, the people working in the stores were definately older, more respectful and, shit(!), they actually knew what the hell they were doing. Fast-forward 10 years and bam! You have Screech, only 10x more stupid, asking you, "what would you like in you Happy Meal, sir?"
Where I am leading this debacle of an entry is here - Where did my customer service go? Did it just up and leave when NAFTA was passed? Did it decide to go to the EU because there were better paying jobs? Or was it that the French were just better at treating Customer Service with respect? I don't know but I want some decent customer service back.
When you have a Mickey D's filled to the brim with kids running around trying to make burgers and another kid not much older supervising this Three Stooges display of sadness, you have to wonder -- how do businesses stay.. well.. in business? I am a great proponent of HS kids getting a summer job at Disneyland or Knott's Berry Farm but if you give them a flame broiler or a cash register - forget about it (I think I'll exempt both Disney and Knott's on that - their training is actually pretty good).
I think I'm rambling a bit - let me try to focus.
Take this story - I was in a McD's and the place was just packed. Kids after school congregating in their new place of loiter. Yet, there are kids behind the counter trying to make orders as well. Unfortunately, they are unable to service the kids wanting food because they cannot figure out their priorities. Stupid.
Another example. I'm at this thing in Pasadena - held at the Rose Bowl - and I'm actually VIP (or at least I thought I was), and I'm looking to get my VIP wrist band thingy so that I can get my two free water-downed beers and a pretzel. Asking the stupid security guy (in his late teens, maybe.. maybe early 20's) who I talk to to get this wrist band thingy and he straight up says, "I dunno". "Maybe it's that woman over there with the big hat."
Thanks Sherlock. Why don't you go fill up your pipe and stick it up your ass.
Or going to Wendy's and not getting what I asked for. Then having to go back and yell at the manager because his crew is utterly useless to the general public.
Or going to Borders Bookstore and asking for a video game that I can clearly point out but the chick who probably started oh.. two minutes before (it seems) can't get the friggin' key right and then has to ask six-dozen times after the first.. "Which one again?"
You want to know who has great customer service? IN-N-OUT burger, for a fast food chain. Besides having the best burgers in Southern California (and I dare say anywhere in the contiguous US, Hawaii and Alaska), their top-notch service is rather swell.
Other than that, service at dining joints like MORTON'S is the only place you'll find EXCELLENT customer service. They're smart enough not to hire stupid kids (or people for that matter).
Now, I'm sure there are places that have great service and employ HS'ers and young adults. They're just few and far between. And it's not limited to food joints and record stores.
Hot Topic - stupid kids AND wanabe goth's.Game Spot/EB - Stupid kids AND geeks (that's almost an oxymoron even).The GAP - Stupid kids who are actually STUPID AND STUCK UP.Blockbuster Video - ...yeah, I wish they actually hired people that knew a turd's worth of movie info. They can barely rub their head and pat their stomach's.
Now, don't take this as being racist - but what's worse than kids working to serve the public is minority kids who wreck the English language asking you if you vant flies wi dat? NO! I don't want flies with that.
Maybe, the problem is that these people have NO CLUE what work ethic is. Maybe they're leisurely passing the 4 long hours they have to be on their lame ass shift just to make $25 (before taxes) a day so that they can blow it on the next AFI or HIM CD. Who cares that they're what makes their establishment look like ass.
With customer service plunging at an alarming rate, it's no matter why the internet is a better option to purchase everything from DVDs to Twinkies.

Is it me.. Or.. is this man a FREAK!?
Click here for Story.
Is it me or is Pat Robertson a fucking lunatic?
Instead of taking out the President of Venezuela, Pat Robertson should be taken out.
And, instead of divine retrobution, Pat Robertson should be given a stroke. Because if a god truly existed, I'm sure he would love to smite out this petulent punk ass.
Pat Robertson, YOU are a fucking ass.

It's Been Awhile..
It's been awhile since my last post and I thought I'd at least put something in here.
I've been rather... busy (just a little.. one can only do so much when unemployed). I've actually been rather involved in MySpace (heaven forbid!) with my three different pages along with my magazine and some other stuff.
In the last week I've seen 4 or 5 movies.. All of them pretty much crap. I've got a DVD in my computer at the moment (TAMARA) that I've been meaning to watch.
The best though was AN AMERICAN HAUNTING, not because it was a good movie (because it wasn't) but because MR. MOVIE FONE was in the screening with me (and three other people to see it).
Anyhoo, I can't wait for next Saturday as it's all about the Beatles' A HARD DAYS NIGHT. Showing at the Alex in Glendale. I really like that theatre - it's very quaint, though the seats are too small. Of course, the people that it was built for were considerably smaller, too. Oh and the fact that I'm ordering some ABSINTH for my own personal consumption. Should be good! Gotta love the absinth.

It's Easter Baby!
It strikes be funny that on the eve of Easter, I have a daft conversation with a Born Again.
As a Born Again, I think one should not only be fervent for their god and religion, but also at least know what the hell they’re talking about when they do talk.
Now, Easter bunnies, eggs and all of that are hooey; they have nothing to do with Jesus or Passover or anything that has to do with Christian belief. So, where did they come from?
From what I understand, they originate from different rituals and Pagan beliefs where the rabbit symbolizes birth and fertility and all of that as well as the egg – another symbol of fertility. So, the bunny ain’t layin’ no eggs, it’s just carryin’ em… dat’s all.
How it got lumped in with Passover, I don’t know. Well, maybe because it’s Springtime, for Jesus (sing it along with that fabulous Mel Brooks show.. you know which one).
And to address another thing – NO, ATHEISTS DON’T BELIEVE IN SATAN. I don’t know where you people think that (as she, the born again did) but we don’t. We would have to believe in a god, first. And how she believes that god is white with blue eyes, I have no clue. How do you come to that conclusion? Did god not make man in his own image? Then why the fuck am I not white with stunning blues? Gimme a god damn bleach kit and some contacts!
Whatever. Did you know that in, I believe, six states, it’s against the law to serve in office if you’re an atheist?? Talk about prejudice!
Anyway, Happy Easter foo’s.

Wow. The Six Month Mark
Wow.
It’s been six months now since the split between me and the ex. I can’t believe that the time has passed so quickly. Yes, I still think of her but it’s more in the line of how much she was just a whore or how she missed out and that in the end she’ll be more miserable. My pining ended long ago. Don’t get me wrong though, I do still think we would have made a brilliant couple. That I can’t deny. More so than she and her (alleged) homosexual husband.
Since I no longer work it means I no longer have health insurance, which means I no longer have a shrink. But, that’s okay. I’ve realized that no matter how much I know I’m right in this situation, it doesn’t and won’t change anything. It’s like when someone takes revenge on someone and ends up taking their life or something of the sorts. Does it really change anything afterwards? Nope. I just have to live with the knowledge that sometimes nothing works out the way it should no matter how much it should have or that no matter how much I knew I was right I was still left with nothing.
Well, that’s enough of that.
The trials and tribulations of not having a job continue. Sleeping in has its advantages.

Since I no longer work it means I no longer have health insurance, which means I no longer have a shrink. But, that’s okay. I’ve realized that no matter how much I know I’m right in this situation, it doesn’t and won’t change anything. It’s like when someone takes revenge on someone and ends up taking their life or something of the sorts. Does it really change anything afterwards? Nope. I just have to live with the knowledge that sometimes nothing works out the way it should no matter how much it should have or that no matter how much I knew I was right I was still left with nothing.
Well, that’s enough of that.
The trials and tribulations of not having a job continue. Sleeping in has its advantages.

MySpace?
So I'm on MySpace now, though I'm not going to give you my URL for it. I am, however, going to share a project I worked on. I was the still photographer for a movie shoot called THE DANNY MCKAY PROJECT. Click on the linky:
So check it out - join if you want.. if you know me you can join my friends. If not, you can guess and join everyone who's a friend of the DMP.

Two days into being jobless
Two days into not having a job and I’m more busy now than I was when I was working. This is what happens when you go from your real job to your “other” job.
I walked away from my boring, useless job and turned to something that is scary, new and not stable. And it passes the day a lot better than any job I’ve ever had. I can’t keep up. I find myself juggling so many things, calling and emailing so many people and trying to keep track of everything without having to backtrack for an hour. I managed to email a few different people the same thing because I couldn’t remember if I had contacted these people earlier in the day.
I’ve never had to be this organized before. Now, I find that I can’t do anything unless I’m more organized.
I’m calling publicists, writers and promoters. I’m calling the people who run the Arclight, AFI and the representatives of Tribeca. I’m shooting the shit with people who work for the most famous people on the planet and hoping I can get a screening of their movies after it all. It’s all very new to me.
It’s all very scary.
But I like it.
I’m learning something new every day and I find myself becoming excited. At the end of the day I’ve juggled so many things and pushed something from Point A to Point B. I got complimented from someone I’ve never met but have jumped through hoops to get her what she wanted just so that she’ll work for me in the future.
And just last week, I was working a cushy 40-hour workweek sitting on my ass surfing the Net. Today, I hardly have time to shit.
And in the end, I’m no longer trapped by the 40-hour workload. I’m no longer trapped being told what to do by stupid people who are running the company I worked for into the ground. I’m no longer worried about running into that faggot husband of the Ex whom I hold more hatred for than anything on the planet.
And, in the end, I hold just one thought that keeps me grounded. This thought?
Just what the fuck AM I doing??!

My last post from work.
This will be my last entry from work. It has been a blast.
They’re actually kicking me out of the office a week early because, they say, there isn’t enough room for me while they remodel the office.
So, to those I’ve given this address to that I knew before. Take your time, read through the last year and try and figure out whom I’m talking about.
Wow.. I’m kinda sad. This is rather depressing.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster!
I just may become a convert. I found out about this little religion after reading about the Arch Bishop of Canterbury saying he doesn’t believe creationism should be taught in schools.
Click Here.
FSM, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster, is yet another incarnation of a great powerful being that created the universe and all the laws of nature. When scientists measure the age of things, the FSM will change the readings to make sure we think the earth is older than it really is. The FSM (and the resulting religion of Pastafarianism) states that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the mountains, trees and… a midget. This is my understanding, anyway, as I am new to this enlightening way of thought. Also, if you don’t become a pirate, you will make him mad. As a result of fewer pirates throughout the ages, global warming has increased.
See chart. (Because HOT LINKING is good)
To “balance” the teaching of ID (Intellectual Design) in schools, the fine people who spread the Word of FSM thought it would only be fair and educational that students subjected to ID should also be subjected to FSM AND evolution. Taken from a letter to different school boards:
I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; One third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence.
It seems FSM has taken on a large cult following. It also seems to me that this school of thought is just as valid as any other religious school. Christianity, Islam, Greek Mythology all are on par with Pastafariism (I’m only guessing that that’s how it’s spelled or called).
I haven’t seen any other rules or guidelines to this new religion but I dare say it seems to be the most liberal, even beyond the Episcopalian values. It also seems the least hypocritical. And the followers are much better looking, younger and more hip.
So, sign me up, give me a pirate suit and call me a Pastafarian… ARR!
Let His Noodly Appendage touch thee!

Wow Ten days to go.
Wow. Ten days to go. It’s almost here. My exit from the corporate world. It’s becoming more and more real each day, as co-workers ask me when my departing date is or what I’m going to do after I’m out of here. It’s all very weird.

Johnny Depp
I find Johnny Depp most fascinating. His portrayal of John Wilmot in The Libertine (2004) is so… Depp. He always tackles roles that are out of the way, intellectual and stunning. If I were a gay man, I’d be licking the television screen to taste his utmost in sexual power. He is charismatic, honest, dirty. I’m glad I’m watching an Oscar screener at home and not sitting in the theatre embarrassed by my fascination. The only bad thing about watching an Oscar screener is that it has THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY tattooed at the top of the screen, along with the code number so that, if I were to ever sell this out on the street, they’d know it was me that did it, not that I’d ever sell/give/trade this screener away. I really like this movie thus far.
In Libertine, I see that there are two actors from a British comedy called Coupling, a rather hilarious show. They tried it here in the States without success. I’m surprised that the Office made it this far.
Anyway, this does not make me gay. At least I hope not. Well, I know I’m not gay but a man like Depp will sometimes make you wonder.

Yahoo! Answers Rocks
So, I’ve become quite addicted to Yahoo! Answers. It’s a Beta service that Yahoo put out where people ask the stupidest questions and you get points for answering them. It’s 2 Pts per question answered. If someone picks your answer as the best, you get 10 pts. If someone votes your answer as a good one, you get 1 pt. If you ask a question, it costs you 5 pts.
Seriously, you can sit on there for hours just answering stupid questions, pointing out the stupidity of others. Sometimes, I’ll actually give people a good answer but most of the time I’m just there to point out how people can’t spell, or there questions are lame or just, in general, try to be funny. I especially like the questions dealing with religion, life on other planets or philosophy. I like trying to be the first to answer the questions but other times, I just need to jump in after I’ve read everyone’s lame-ass answers. Then I’ll come in and ridicule the person asking the question as well as the other people who’ve answered. It makes me feel like a real man.
So, checking the stats of other people, there are actually people on there that have point totals in excess of 25,000 pts. I have almost 900. I’ve been on it for two weeks. I wonder how often these people are on there to have amassed over 25k pts?? And I thought I was a loser.
You should definitely check it out – http://answers.yahoo.com. You’ll need an account over at Yahoo, but don’t let that stop you.
