When we worked at Spherion, I was making a reservation for this guy and I was giving him his conf. # and he was repeating it back to me and I said, "b" and he said, "like brass" and I said, "yep, like the fish."

Look, I'm every girl you've ever seen before...wanna see me shake my ass?
Why did America have to vote for Carrie? Well, the country music industry is rejoicing...or maybe not. Pop/Rock could have really used someone like Bo. But I expect his album to be out soon and it's gonna rock! I'll never hear anything Carrie does 'cause I don't listen to country music. Country artists are a dime a dozen, but true talent like Bo Bice...rare. He's a TRUE performer! Probably best he come in 2nd anyway...he's not tied down to a million dollar contract. He can do what he wants. Maybe he'll be signed for a FIVE million dollar contract 'cause the powers-that-be know he's worth every penny.

The Movie SUCKED!
Okay, so...last night we went to Pima College for the screening of all the student films that have been made throughout the year, including one that I was in. There were 4 films shown, then intermission, then the remaining 6 films. Our film was shown 2nd. Let me tell you, I'm really sorry I had anything to do with it. IT SUCKED! The sound was aweful, the lighting was horrible...the people he chose to be in this film had never been in a movie...this was their first foray into the acting world...and believe me, IT SHOWED! Myself and one other actor totally carried this film, and I'm NOT just saying that because I think that I'm all that.
And the editing. OH MY GOD! Did he (the director who shall not be named) even have his eyes open when he was editing this film??? It was so choppy. Most of the scenes were cut. Scenes that we took an entire day to shoot, over and over and over...cut. gone. The way he sliced and diced this film made it so nobody could understand what the fuck it was even about! Never again, I say. Don't call me for your next production.
And then! Get this...my son was also in the film for a brief moment and he was totally cut out...didn't even make the credits - broke his heart. My wife edited the whole fucking script and even rewrote a page (this is a guy who is French and can barely speak a word of English)...and the dip shit didn't even include her in the credits after assuring me he would. But maybe that's for the best...I don't know that I'd want my name attached to this trainwreck.
It really really sucked and here were all these other films that were so good compared to this piece of shit.
Well, we didn't stay past intermission. The embarassment and rage was just too great. So me and the wife took our kids to Tony Roma's to eat away the nights frustrations.
To quote Statler & Waldorf (Muppets):
"I've seen detergents leave a better film than this!"

Gay Catholics Denied Communion
ST. PAUL, Minn. (May 16) - A Roman Catholic priest denied communion to more than 100 people Sunday, saying they could not receive the sacrament because they wore rainbow-colored sashes to church to show support for gay Catholics.
Okay, so...do all the Catholic child molesters get to take communion?
I fucking HATE religion so much!!!!!
Yeah, and after that priest denied communion to hundreds of people because he got a letter in the mail saying God had died and left HIM in charge...he finished his sermon, left the building, and went home to beat his wife and kids and then left them in tears while he went out and whored around with his mistress. God bless 'em!
Another note: Why do all gay people want to belong to organized religion? If a gay person truly wanted to be a devout Catholic, then they would have to deny their homosexuality and live a miserable existence. Just let the churches do their thing, and go on and live your lives.
To quote Sam Phillips, from her song "I Need Love"...
"I need God, NOT the political church."

Keeping it Real, Part II
Wow! What an awesome workshop that turned out to be! If you are an actor, and you stumble across this blog and you want the chance to study with the best casting director/acting coach around...you NEED to contact Lisa. She taught us so many valuable tools to use on our auditions. I feel there is NOTHING I cannot do now. I'm ready to conquer the world! No more nervousness, no more wondering "oh my God, what if they hate my cold read?" Walk in, smile, be yourself and tell the story that is in your hand. That's all it is folks! The writer has written something and wants the casting director to find the best storyteller out there. SO BE THE ONE TO BOOK IT!
I'm off to L.A. now.
Peace.

"Keeping it Real"
So, Sunday I have a 6-hour acting workshop to go to. It's called Keeping It Real. Lisa Pantone, a casting director from L.A., will be the instructor. I'm really looking forward to this. I've read some testimonials from people who have taken her workshop and have gone on to a successful acting career. She teaches the art of "keeping it real" - it has to be believable or the audience isn't going to buy it. She also teaches how to give a fantastic audition, what casting directors, like herself, are looking for. I hope to walk out of that class ready to take on Hollywood, armed with a shit-load of brand new ammunition!
Now if I can just figure out HOW to get to Hollywood. Tucson sucks! There isn't shit here to do. My wife and I talk nightly about how awesome it would be to be able to just pick up and leave this ghost town. She has things she wants to do, and I have things I want to do, but Tucson is not the place where we can do these things. And it's not like we can just pick up and go. We'll just keep playing the lottery twice a week...we're bound to win eventually.
She works with this guy who is an extremely talented musician, singer/songwriter. He gave us a copy of his cd, and let me tell you, it's awesome! You know that's always such an uncomfortable situtation to be in. When a friend says to you, 'here, listen to my cd and tell me what you think.' How do you tell him/her that they suck?! But thankfully, not him. He's awesome and I love this cd! I feel so bad for him 'cause he's stuck working in a call center. I wish I knew somebody who could get his music out there for people to hear.
Did I mention how much Tucson sucks?

Three Wishes
I can't wait for this show! It sounds kinda like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Now who can watch that one without crying from beginning to end?
Amy plans to host a new Reality TV Pilot called "Three Wishes."
The premise of the new special / backdoor pilot on NBC is an unscripted format in which Grant will lead a team of experts to a small town to help make the hopes and unbelievable dreams come true for deserving people.
The show is called "Three Wishes".
Jeff Gaspin, President, NBC Universal Cable Entertainment & Cross-Platform Strategy, who made the announcement said:
Everyone secretly wants the chance to fulfill a lifelong wish that seems beyond their grasp -- and this show will help transform those dreams into a life-changing reality.
Word and NBC states that the full spectrum of wishes ranges from paying tribute to an unsung hero to helping a hopeless family in the grip of a member's life-threatening medical crisis.
Also included: living out a mind-blowing sports fantasy, helping to save a dedicated teacher's job, keeping a factory that provides jobs open as it teeters on the brink of closing down - and even saving a desperate local economy on the verge of slipping into debt.
Amy Grant said about the show:
I met with the producers and was captivated by the stories, which I'm not supposed to talk about because it's like telling what the end of the book is.
Everything this show is about are things that are important to me that I invest my personal time and energy in.
I was extremely moved by NBC and the production company's concept to provide incredibly positive changes in the lives of different people.
Seeing the initial prep work the producers had done for the pilot episode gave me reason to look at my own life -- and remind myself, once again, to never underestimate the impact that one life can have on another.
I knew that whoever wound up hosting this show was going to have a front-row seat to some pretty amazing interaction with some very deserving people.
I'm so glad my name was thrown into the pot and I look forward to working with NBC Universal Television Studio and executive producer Andrew Glassman -- and I hope that together, we are able to make a lot of dreams come true.
Each wish intends to involve a deeply personal story.
Viewers will follow the deserving families as Grant and her team of experts help revive their wishes and bring them to life.
Andrew Glassman (NBC's "Average Joe" seasons 1-4) and Jason Raff (NBC's "Average Joe" seasons 1-4) will serve as executive producers.
"Three Wishes" is executive produced by Andrew Glassman and NBC Universal Television Studio.
Glassman said:
There's an incredible diversity to the people we are going to meet and the heartwarming stories we are going to tell along the way.
We have already started to feel the magic, as people started sharing their wishes with us. While our team is there to help, ultimately, this show will be about people helping people make their wishes and dreams come true.
Production on the pilot has already begun.
Those interested in sharing their wishes with NBC are invited to log into:

God bless Amy!
So I'm currently listening to Amy Grant's new cd, "Rock of Ages...Hymns and Faith." Ya know, is it really possible for someone to get better and better with each record? Yes, it is. Amy's music continues to inspire and encourage us. Each lyric is very personal and has something to say about where in life she is right now and we get wrapped up in her music and we can relate to her struggles and her triumphs.
The first song is called "Anywhere With Jesus," and I defy anyone to listen to this and NOT rock in your seat and tap your feet and move your head from side to side. We're talking church here, folks! Down south, roof is rocking and people are praising CHURCH! I love this kind of worship service.
The 2nd song is slower, more deep and pulls on the heart strings. It makes you want to stop whatever it is you're doing and get on your knees and close your eyes and remember that we are not alone. If God brought you to it, He'll bring you through it.
Carry You by Amy Grant
Lay down your burden
I will carry you, I will carry you my child, my child
Lay down your burden
I will carry you, I will carry you my child, my child
'Cause I can walk on water
Calm a restless sea
I've done a thousand things you've never done
And I'm really watching
While you struggle on your own
Call my name, I'll come
::chorus::
I give vision to the blind
I can raise the dead
I've seen the darker side of hell
and I've returned
I've seen those sleepless nights
And count every tear you cry
Some lessons hurt to learn
::chorus::
Now I was raised Christian. Was forced to go to Church every Sunday and Wednesday night. I am not religious now and don't agree with religion. However, I am spiritual and believe in God. I don't go to church because it's nobody's business how I live my life. The only one to whom I will have to answer is the one who made me...
I am certainly not afraid to turn up my worship music and praise the Lord! I encourage you to do the same. It feels really good. ;-)
Peace and blessings...

To continue this call in English, press 1
Okay, so why in my own country do I need to press ANYTHING to continue speaking in my own language? I am so sick of being expected to change MY way of speaking just to suit some people who shouldn't even be here!
Illegal aliens here in Tucson actually have the nerve to strike and boycott because they are not getting equal rights and are not being treated fairly. HELLO YOU HAVE NO RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY!! God, I cannot tell you how that pisses me off! If you are so G Damn unhappy then go the fuck back home! At least here you HAVE running water and a roof over your head so stop your fucking whining because you are being forced to speak English.
In Wisconsin, the liberal governor set up a program where ILLEGAL aliens can get state-backed loans through local banks.
This is not a program that is for everyone and is ONLY for illegal aliens.
Seems like this country is bending over backwards to help out those who are breaking the law just by being in the country and screwing everyone else who has a legal right to be here.
I remember when Spanish-speaking people, when asking for directions or the time of day or whatever, would politely ask if I spoke Spanish. Now, store clerks, people on the street, etc., will walk up to me and start rattling off in Spanish, assuming that of course I speak their language. When I tell them I don't speak it, they act annoyed and put out.
Watching the news last night, they commented on how they were trying to get something passed where voting here would be only in English. Not voting at the polls, but in city councel or somewhere...I was barely paying attention. Anyway, it was denied because they didn't want to offend illegal aliens that are here and can't speak English. Okay, keyword: ILLEGAL. NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE...UNLAWFUL. I guess I can see their point though. I mean, who would want to offend the people that are here ILLEGALLY, taking our jobs and making it so eventually we AMERICANS are the ones who will have to 'Para el engles, presione el numero 2.'
It is so difficult to get a job nowadays if you are not bilingual. I am NOT going to contribute to making it easier for Spanish speaking people NOT to learn English. Their children are taught English at school at our expense, so why speak it at home? Now mind you, I am not saying that being bilingual is a BAD thing...just don't make it a requirement.
I may sound like a racist here, and I assure you I am NOT. My dad's side of the family is Hispanic. I am specifically addressing the issue of illegal aliens. If I go over-seas to say...China or France, I will make an effort to learn enough of their language to get by while I am there. I know in France they are rude and if you can't speak French, they laugh at you. I don't boycott or strike and try to get the French govenment to change the official language of France to English just to suit ME.
And take a look at Asians who come over here to live. At least they make a concerted effort to learn English. They don't want to be stuck digging ditches or selling burritos out of the "roach coach" for a living.
That's all I've got to say about that.

From now on, please call me GOD
Jesus Christ trying to obtain drivers license
This is just ridiculous. And when he gets to Heaven, Jesus will be like, "Son, what WERE you thinking? You know only one of us can have that name and I've been called that since before your world was created! Now before I let you enter these here gates, I'll have to change your name to Hislach Mionecca, which is Hebrew for 'I DON'T THINK SO...BIIIAAAATCH!'"

Amy's new cd released today!
Yaay! I pre-ordered it two weeks ago, so in a few days I'll have the "special collector's edition" which includes a booklet with Amy's bio and a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the new record. :-) I think I'll make a copy and send it to Tony - another one of her #1 fans.

One more Amy Grant meeting
So last night turned out to be pretty nice. We arrived at 5:30 and looked around at all the stuff they had up for auction. There were about 600 items! I came across an autographed t-shirt and cd from Amy Grant. Minimum bid was $40, so I figured what the hell. I placed my bid, checked it a while later and I had been outbid by at least 4 other people. More power to 'em! That's ok though, I still got an autograph AND a picture! :-)
Welll, they made us all walk around until 8 o'clock, at which time they finally opened up the doors to the ballroom. Our feet were hurting SO fucking badly. We were both wearing boots. The dress code was dressy/casual/cowboy/shiek. Most everybody was wearing cowboy boots, jeans, hats. We took the "dressy/casual" route.
Anyway, the ballroom was spectacular. This was at the Westin La Paloma hotel, by the way. The ballroom was very well decorated, the food was awesome! But the best part of the evening was the hour-long performace by Amy Grant. She has been lending her talent and time to this cause for 10 years now! As I mentioned in my previous blog, this is all to raise money for the Ara Parseghian research to find a cure for Niemann-pick type C disease that has claimed the lives of 2 of the 4 children of the Parseghian family. One of the daughters, a 16 year old girl, is suffering from the disease now, and they fear she will not last much longer. They will then be left with 1 child. One child out of 4. Tell me that aint fucked up!
So, anyway. Amy did her thing and afterward she signed a few autographs and posed for a few pictures, despite having to leave to go to the airport to be home in TN for her daughter's confirmation the next morning. This is the 2nd meeting with her and she's always so cool! That's why we love Amy Grant. She hasn't let fame and fortune go to her head. She hasn't forgotten who it is that has gotten her to where she is today. The fans. Cyndi Lauper couldn't give a shit. But that's another story altogether.
On another topic, today I finished shooting the final scenes for a student film in which I star. It's called Saving Hector. I'm looking forward to seeing the final product. We will go to the screening on May 16th. Well, peace and blessing my friends!
