Something Amazing Happened to me on the Way to the Forum...

Hey Folks,

This is a story about dichotomy, cosmic balance and the old axiom "You can't be truly happy without having suffered" - well maybe. Mostly this is a blog, that I hope doesn't make you too jealous. :D

So yesterday was suck.

I dragged on through unmotivated to do much of anything.
I tried to treat myself to Sushi, tried to make myself feel "up" but it just wasn't in the cards.

I tried editing videos, tried blogging, tried organizing some photo shoots (which I actually did get accomplished). And then in the wee hours of the night, a few fingers of whiskey and the haze of depression looming I tried to do something instantly creative and gratifying, I took self portraits.

Then I watched LOST one Hulu and went to sleep. Somewhere in the middle of the night my phone, drained of it's battery - shut off. My alarm clock now docile I slept in, I slept till about 1pm at which point in my half awake haze I looked on to my facebook and twitter confounded.

Tons of tweets congratulating myself and @JenFriel and so on... except that last one (technically top one). I just included that because the implication of Pearl in this bikini - too hot.

I immediately found my dead phone and plugged it in, opened gmail and sat in wonder as an email from Ford was congratulating me.

Then I freaked out.

I Pumped my fist in the air, I yelled Attah!, I moshed around the apartment (which was particularly hard because I was still putting clothes on).

Then I texted Jen, called the Ford guy, emailed him, and lost my mind.

I can't help but think some giant door has opened, some weight has been lifted, some unexplained cosmic alignment has found it's way in to my 9th house of.. whatever it is...

Last year was the worst year of my life, and I've been determined to make 2010 the best year of my life to counter it. - This helps, alot.

I want to do something amazing this year not just on a personal level - put on an entertainment level. If it's not publish my novel it's going to me something video oriented. And it's probably going to come out of this.

So the main question that's on my mind is... Jen Friel (Queen of Nerds) & I are now a team so what the hell do you name such a team of awesomeness? Suggestions?

PS - nobody tell my Camry about this... she's old and fragile

Miss America 2009 - Miss Indiana Katie Stam (Bikini pics)

Hey Folks,

So here it is, Saturday night Katie Stam, Miss Indiana was crowned the 88th winner in this national pageant.

Here she is looking all happy and surprised, getting ready to thank all the little people and Jesus. (I love midgets and Mexicans too, I mean come on who doesn't!)

The news reports she was fought through a throat infection to win the $55,000 prize - and honestly I'd do the same thing if I have a chance. So good for her. Bravo. I hope you like maps.

Here's the thing about all this. I had no idea. Not that I care that I missed the chance to place wagers on bikini clad vixens. but I feel somehow my responsibility of an overly masculine hooligan has been shirked. So since I missed the big moment instead I present you with Katie Stam from the bikini competition:

Well there you have it. I think. I mean seriously I did like 3 minutes of research on this. But I feel my job as a shovenist pig has been reinstated and I can sleep tight knowing that.

So say good bye to What's her name, good old 19 yr old Miss 2008. She's all washed up. But let's get one final salute from her.

and God bless (miss) America

Stay Strong,
