Today is: same as it ever was... more or less

Well, I finally found my way back into my blog. With the switch-over and all, it was a pain in the ass.

Anyway, I am finally doing something somewhat notable. Finally, got my first indie movie shot and put to DVD. Bob Saves The World...Maybe is finally a reality and fro tyhose of you who enjoy a surreal spoof of science fiction and hero movies, it is available through www.myspace.com/wolfinthegraveproductions about halfway down on the left for only $9.99 + shipping and handling. Pretty damn funny, if I do say so myself... and I do.

Also, had a part in The Detective Story. I am Henchman #1. Of course, in the next episode(s), my character is given the name, Mickey. Cool thing is you can go to www.myspace.com/thedetectivestory and watch the episode in the Videos section and, if you like it, you can get a DVD copy of your own using PayPal right through the site. Pretty sweet.

Other than that, life's been okay, I guess. Who knows what will happen next? So for some excellent entertainment value outside the Hollywood mainstream, check those two out. You will be glad you did.

Quote For The Day: Why call them "Hookers"? Wouldn't it be simpler to call them "Fishers of Men"??

Today is: a good day to consider existentialism

"Why?", you may ask. Because I have been busting my ass applying for jobs I know damn well I'm qualified for and yet I'm still not working. I have not been able to find a job in over a year. I really don't understand waht I'm doing wrong anymore.

I go in with an upbeat, positive attitude; I put my best foot forward; I write down all my job history, which is mostly stock work in retail, warehouses, etc. and apply for similar work in which I am qualified and yet...

NOTHING!

No call back, no interest whatsoever in hiring me. Now, don't think I'm just sitting back waiting for their call and hoping for a job to fall in my lap. Oh, no. I call back every job I apply to, multiple times, and get the standard response that the manager is still reviewing applications for the position; or even better, the position has already been filled, don't bother calling back.

I actually went to a job to apply around 11 am, and this was SUPER FUN, I fill out the app only to be told the manager just left, but should be back soon. Now, granted when I called ahead of time about the job they told me to come at 11am because the manager would be there and it would be the best time to catch him for an interview. So, I sat and waited for about 30 minutes for him to return.

Okay, fine. No big deal.

Then, as he comes in, the girl behind the counter tells the manager I was here for an interview. He leers at me as though I had taken his daughter's virginity behind his back in his bed, and he now wants me to spontaneously combust. He then goes out of his way to take a longer route, in the opposite direction, inside the building. So, I sit and wait for another 10-12 minutes.

Slightly more upset now. Still, no big deal.

Then, the girl behind the counter takes me inside to his office and I have a seat and wait 5 more minutes. Eventually, the manager comes in and without giving me a second glance, picks up my app, looks at it for approximately 3 seconds and tells me he's busy. (Insert uncomfortable silence here). I get up and tell him, "I understand", get in my truck, and leave.

I UNDERSTAND?! Yeah, right. I am now more confused than I can explain to myself, let alone anyone else. So, I go home, play out the rest of the day and go to bed. Next morning, I get up and think that maybe he was busy, it was a rough day, etc. So, in an effort, to let him know I'm really interested in the job, I get dressed somewhat decently and decide to drive over and talk to him in person about 9am.

APPARENTLY, I'M STUPID...

I arrive at the workplace and the manager is standing out front. Perfect, right? No....
I park, get out, and walk over to him. I introduce myself, just in case he forgot because it was a busy day and all. Tell him I was one of the guys who applied for the job yesterday and... "The job's been filled." Throws me the wanna-be fire starter stare again, and I say, "Okay, thank you.", get in ny truck and go home.

I can't tell you what this inability to get a decent job, inability to support my family, and random acts of hatred thrown my way is doing my self-esteem. No, seriously, because I don't have much left at this point. All I want is a good job with reasonably realistic wages and, instead, I get hostility and disinterest.

WHAT THE #%&*$@ ?!?

Quote for the Day: Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage... problem is the cage seems to be getting smaller all around me

Today is: A good day to get new eyebrows

Yeah, you heard me: new eyebrows.

My advice: if you want to trim your brow to either eliminate unibrow or try to clean up the caveman look, make sure you have a steady hand and that you are not sweaty becasue the damned thermostat is set so high that your house is practically a damn sauna. Otherwise, you're bound to slip up and end up looking like the guy from Pink Floyd's THE WALL.

No effin' eyebrows at all. Believe me, it's just as creepy on me as it was on that guy. Now, granted, it is mildly amusing looking like Kane from WWE, but let's just see if my wife agrees with me on that one.

50/50 chance. 50% chance she'll want to kill me. 50% chance she'll want to kick my ass. Fairly good odds, don't you think.

Deep Thought For The Day: How come the one person who has to get the last word never shuts up even after they get the last word?

Today is: Disillusionment Day

WTF? is probably what you're thinking. Right?

Well, I am completely blown away by the fact that my theory was correct about television. Even though I am somewhat surprised that Stan "The Man" would be involved. It's like finding out your favorite superhero is practically a super-villain.

And therein lies my problem and my sorrow. I made the mistake of looking up "Who Wants To Be A Superhero" on IMDb and found out what I was hoping wouldn't be true: the majority of those picked for the show and made it through to the final episodes already had been established in television or movie roles before being chosen for the show.

Coincidence, sure. What's EVIAN spelled backwards, again?

You would think that most people would have a fair shot at the shows nowadays, but not really. Except for Iron Enforcer, and Fat Momma, pretty much anyone who made it through were already somewhat pros and pretty much knew exactly what producers wanted to see, and therefore had what I consider an unfair advantage.

Kind of ironic, considering Stan booted one contestant off in the beginning for wanting to be on the show to promote his own action figure, while the rest get to stay on and promote their own acting careers, don't you think?

There are NO SUPERHEROES to believe in anymore!

Deep Thought of the Day: Superman, where are you now? When everything's gone wrong somehow?

Today is: A great day to try typing whilst intoxicated

"Why?", you ask. Because it's always fun to try something new. That, and it is interesting to realize how much life reaaly sucks versus How "GREAT" life is. ppppbbttt. That is how I feel anyway. The sad part is when you find yourself flipping betwwen SPANGLISH with Adam Sandler and SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS and wishing your life was that good, instead of feeling like your life means little-to-nothing.

Don't get me wrong, it's not all bad. After all, America Ferrera is an amazing and beautiful young actress. Not to sound like some sort of freak or anything. Seriously, she is one of the UnDERESTIMATED great talents of late. I love UGLY BETTY.

This girl is going to be the next great Hollywood greats. Look, granted, I am highly intoxicated right now from too much Smirnoff Cape Codder, but this is real. To Hell with anyone who disagrees with this truth.

Now, reallistically I may or may not even remember posting this tomorrow, but it had to be said. I may disintegrate into nothingness, but I'll be damned if it went without saying that America Fererra is one hell of an amazingly talented young thespian.

UGLY BETTY brings beauty back to television, finally.

Deep Thought of the Day: If the sale is off, take down the price reduction sticker. Otherwise, give it to me for the advertised price, BITCHES!!!

Today is: A good day to time travel

No, seriously. Apparently, all the dreams I've had lately about living in a different time period aren't necessarily just dreams.

"How do you know that?", you ask.

Well, Iwent into my bulk E-mail folder today and found E-mails form the future. No, really. I had multiple, and when I say multiple, I mean thousands of messages from September 8, 2032 and other dates "from the future" in my Inbox.

So, apparently, when I think I'm sleeping I am, in fact, traveling to the future and getting spam from the future.

The sad part is in the future, apparently, even with all of the great technology and advancements in science MY PENIS IS STILL TOO SMALL. At least, according to all my MAKE YOUR PENIS LARGER NOW E-mails.

Damn, the future sucks...

Deep Thought of The Day: I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind. There was something so crazy about that place. Even your emotions had an echo in so much space. Does that make me crazy?
