A gunslingers words of wisdom.
You know what I did yesterday? I visited the CSTCrew site. Not for any nostalgia mind you (well, ok..maybe a little), but mostly to see if my Name and Password still worked. I wanted to be able to post on there over the weekend that the Terror With 9 Lives and a couple other vids that the crew and I did together were available re-edited and ready for them to download. I guess it is up to them whether they go get them or not, but in the end, who cares. Those were good times and strange days, but they are over.
Well, why bother filling you in on what has gone on in the past few months. Lots of work, travelling, life changes, you know, same shit that happens to everyone. Everyon's life changes, and it's not my job to inform you people of how mine is going.
I see no reason to keep this blog aside from personal interest. I mean let's be honest, blogs are self serving tools of ego maniac's who think that the most mundane and pointless inanity that they go through in a day, or even the far more interesting points of thier lifes are something that people all over the world are interested in reading. And I'll tell you, that just ain't true. Hell, even I am having a hard time staying interested in this.
So, for those of you who will actually read this, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for being upset when I thought any elements of my life should matter to you as much as they matter to me. I'm sorry that I thought anything that goes on in your life would matter to me. I'm sorry that I would get so upset when you would life your life the way you wanted to, that I would get upset and make judgements on your lifestyle.
So, for any I've offended, and most that I will never talk to again; Long days and pleasant nights. Say Thankya.

Fucking mofo's never let up....
Goddamn. I. Hurt. Bad.
Last week was fucking crazy ass busy. I mean mental fucking crazy. I had so much shit to deal with that I was this far away from saying, you know what? Fuck you guys, do it yourselves. I like being the most dependable guy in my area, but give me a fucking break. I can't do goddamned everything. But I digress, this is a new week, and hopefully I can get some better legs this week since last week they were getting pulled in every damned direction.
Speaking of pulling legs. Holy fuck does my body hurt. I did my first session with my personal trainer yesterday. I have never hurt this goddamned bad in my life. Even by the end of it, I just could not do anymore. I have to get some gloves or something, because a lot of the shit that was hurting was my hands. At least this guy showed me how to do everything in a way that is really going to pay off faster. And he was a stickler on commitment man, he was like, if you don't come on AT LEAST 3 times a week, this is pointless, and you are wasting your money. I explained that I haven't been coming in that often because I am pissed I am getting no results. He said: Look, you come in for 4 weeks EVERY OTHER MORNING, I garantee, you will see some wicked results in 4 weeks, just promise that you will come in those mornings. And I will, goddamnit.
Saturday night was the cast party, which Carey didn't show up to since he is a sick whiner. Ah well, when I explain to him that there were some chicks his age getting nude in the hottub and dying to get nailed by ANYONE, he should feel pretty shitty. It was great, I brought Karen along, and warned her, that actors are weird people, and you have to get used to them. Once we got there, I had to go work with my one actor who was there and discuss the scenes and motivations and blah blah blah, and had to leave Karen by herself for about 20 mins. I came back and she was in the exact same place I left her, looking like a deer in headlights. Once I introduced her to everyone she got a bit easier, and we all enjoyed discussing my bad acting in Joan Of Arc and nearly every actor had to ask me why I hate actors. So that was fun to answer over and over and over again. But my one actor is really excited. Carey goddamn well will be after I beat him into shape, and I think my act is going to be great. There is one actor in the play who is so flippantly and extraordinarily gay, that we were all having a ball joking around and watching him be foolish. Actors man. What a breed.
Yesterday I decided, you know what, fuck it, why the fuck do we not have digital cable. So we call up Rogers, and get the most expensive package they have. We have to wait for Thursday for hte guy to come out and unlock the other channels, but we have basically everything except 29 - 60 right now. Naturally some of my favorite shows are on those channels, so it sucks seeing it in the guide but not having access to it. It is mostly sports in the Highdef channels, and though we have a high def TV, we just couldn't justify getting the high def service. Channel 28 is High def though...hmmm, well, maybe ina month or two. Maybe when Arrested Development starts again!
The time has come. All the SVCD's and VCD's are done. Converted to DVD. Who thought the day would ever be here. I converted my Beavis and Butthead VCD's which came from my VHS copies. They are only VHS quality, but come on..Beavis and Butthead don't need to look spectacular.
We went out and bought Garden State, a movie I hope will get me to start liking Zach Braff, since I am told it is a great movie that he wrote and directed. I also bought Lost Skeleton Of Cadavra, and that just looks so lame that I may piss my pants watching it.
Not much else is news. Work is crazy as hell, body is hurtin like hell, and hell ain't freezin over..damn!

A creature of absolute darkness...
It sounds like the opening of Carnivale, but I'll be goddamned if I didn't get creeped the fuck out by the pics of Karla Homolka up on a specific news site right now.
For those who don't know, Karla Homolka is a psychopath who was married to an even worse psychopath named Paul Bernardo, who on top of being responsible for raping and assaulting a massive amount of women, he and his wife abducted, raped, sodomized and murdered 3 young girls, one of which was Homolka's own sister. Homolka bullshitted everyone into thinking she was a victim of her husband's cruelty, and that is why she went along with these murders, and was lucky enough to strike a deal landing her only 12 years in jail. Once she made the bargain, the tapes came out showing her taking part in the rape, murder, and dismemberment of these girls. The legal system realized they had been duped, but they couldn't retract thier deal. Thusly, the deal was nicknamed: "The deal with the devil". Homolka leaves prison today.
Honest to God people, I don't even want to put a pic on this site of her. She looks absoloutely soulless. When you would look into the eyes of Bundy, or Gacy, or Dahmer or Manson, you saw nothing but hatred. Pure and unintimidated. It lives and breathes and pulses with pure evil. But for some reason Homolka is different. Maybe it is because she is a woman, maybe it is because she assisted in this happening to women. I mean, a man to murder a man is one thing, but in the case of Dahmer, it got a little weird. But Dahmer looked frightened. He looked like a sick maniac that knew he was sick, and admitted it, and ultimately died for it.
But Homolka assisted, gleefully assisted, in possibly the most atrocious thing to ever happen to a young woman. And as well, assisted in the rape and murder of her own sister. If she had remorse, or sadness, or anything real, you could at least assume the woman feels something, but there is nothing. Her eyes are a void. Not evil, but just complete and absolute uncaring. She would murder babies, drown puppies, kill baby ducks, you name it, and would feel nothing about it. That just scares the shit out of me. Even murderer's have loyalties, to thier bosses, companions, and ultimately obsessions. But Homolka, she has none, she just plain ol murders to murder. She is the Carl Panzram of the new world. And if the mammoth muscular, in and out of jail, and over the top Panzram's sheer existence terrified a world, then what we have now, a demure, silent, stalking, soulless female, should make us catatonic.
At least they executed Panzram.

Kong will stomp on your face and eat out your girlfriend..
While you just sit and read the ultimate power website. REAL ULTIMATE POWER!
Damn, that trailer rocked my fucking socks off. Seriously, I took off my shoes and socks. I'm not going to be the poster boy for this company and not enjoy the luxuries it brings me. Anyway, onto to bigger, and I do mean fucking bigger, and better things. Kong is fucking awesome. I hate Colin Hanks, could there be a more useless actor? Hi, I'm trying to act like my Dad! What would Dad do in this scene? Sure I know my motivation, but what is Dad's? Nigga please. Adrien Brody? Ok, can we get past this fad that this guy is a sex symbol? People are comparing this guy to Gargamel from the Smurfs for Christ's sake. This is one pug fugly guy. Can I get a nigga please? Naomi Watts? Aaanh... I have an overactive libido like every other internet porn addicted junkie, but the bitch just doesn't float my boat. Skinny, bony, whiny, and talks too much, everything a woman shouldn't do. Sit down, shut up, shoulders back, tits out, crotch shaved, suck this, That's the life for me. Most women I explain this to, regail me with a funny story that starts with "Nigga please", and ends by kicking me in the balls. I guess you just have to be there.
But Jack Black. I don't like Jack Black. He is like a fat(ter) Jim Carrey. Overactive ritalin starved physical comedy does not a funnyman make. School Of Rock was actually ok, and he was ok in High Fidelity, and I was like, damn, maybe this guy is pretty good. But then I saw Shallow Hal, and Saving Silverman, and I was like Jesus, this guy suck diddily ucks. But, those movies aren't meant for guys like me. They are meant for people who go..hehehehehehehehehehe...that guy said ass! Right. Moving along, I actually think this was the BEST choice for this movie. He looks awesome, he has JUST the right attitude that is needed to make it work, demented obsessive maniac. I didn't think he could pull it off, but from the trailer, he is doing a great fucking job. Nothing beats the roar of Kong, and then "Get the camera!"
And Kong. Jesus H. Christ. Look at this ape. Fuck me. That last shot of him better give you goose bumps, or you're just plain ol retarded. I mean damn..that is one seriously pissed off Ape. Looks spectacular too. No TERRIBLE Hulk CG, or Mighty Joe Young Tom fooleries, just good ol fashioned I am Peter Jackson and I will make a movie that kicks you in the balls so hard you'll think you're a unik EXCELLENCE. Fuck I am looking forward to this. December!!
Tonight, Land of the Dead!! WOO! I totally forgot ( and disgusted myself in the process) that it opened this weekend, so I had to check it out as soon as possible. Too bad Steve can't come with me, since him and Melissa are going to the cottage Wednesday morn at 5 am, so it will just be Karen and I. And Karen has no interest in Zombie movies, which means I will be paying for this somehow. But oh well, Romero's return to the genre he created? Nigga please, I would give my left nut for that.
Anyway, meeting time. I love you all. Nigga's....please.

My own psycho stalker! Wicked!!
Check this out! We all know I am a movie geek right? Right. So of course I have one movie site that I frequent, and often post on the talkbacks. It's not some shitty flamewar site like Ain't It Cool, but it is a nice little site where there is a main group of us who respect and acknowledge each others opinions regardless of our agreement or disagreement with them. Of course there is a lot of fun jabbing in the ribs for comic effect, but that just comes with the territory.
Enter this new guy. He comes in, and goes on about how cool he is, and he is in the business, and he is so educated, and blah blah blah. Same shit we have heard before from hundreds of people, who luckily leave as quick as they show up. This guy says something beligerent and insulting to a fellow long time member, and I say: Dude, this isn't AICN, loose the ego. A little insulting I'm sure, but now big "You fucker!! Fuck you and your fucking attitude, I make 100000 an year and you suck and fuck you!" I've learned how to deal with dumb people, just politely nudge, and you will probably get better results.
Well not with this guy, holy shit! I guess he somehow found my blogsite (I think) and in turn went to my little movie page. Then he sends me (to my main email address) this MASSIVE email, like I am talking 14 paragraphs long, about how I suck, and he is smarter than me, and all my movies look shitty and I am not a director, and blah blah blah.
I was a little scared at first, until I realized, damn, this is just some kid who really got embarrased when I said loose the ego, the same way I have felt when I know my ego is getting the better of me, and someone shoots me down. But this is far worse. This is a kid who CAN'T let it go, the way a normal healthy person does. It wsa so important to him that I said loose the ego, that he SEARCHED for that email, WATCHED all those little shorts, and then TOOK THE TIME to send a massive email to me. Wow. That is so fucking cool!! A stalker! I thought you had to be famous to be a stalker!
Now I have had my problems with ego mania in the past, and I am the first to admit it. Hell, I have problems with ego mania now. Luckily not speaking to the CST Crew anymore has helped me control this, since I am not around a bunch of guys who DEPEND on pissing contests to justify every ounce of thier being. But this guy, ho damn. This is a murderer waiting to happen. This is a guy so goddamned obsessed with seeing me as the lower, the lesser, the weaker, that he went to INSANE lengths to try to justify this. We're entering psycho country here people, no showers in hotels for me for a while.
Regardless, on to better news. My act has been cast! Hooray! We had a lot of people come out last night, and it made my codirectors jobs hard, but once I saw Carey read, I was sure of who I wanted. Carey came out, and stole the fucking audition. I mean fucking nailed it. Exactly what I wanted to see. I was so glad to see him come out, and he knew what I wanted to see, since I had explained it to him. So I am happy that I have my act cast with the two people I think will make the most of it. Now comes the rehearsals, and I am in charge of designing and building the set, and then the show...dunh dunh duuuuuuuuuuuuuuunh!!!
Well, I have to go around and brag that I have a stalker. And here I am talking about reigning in my ego. Goddamn.

I'm a director now, and I have just the part for you baby!
Director extraordinaire! That's me baby. I had to watch some auditions last night, and I was impressed by one guy particularly. It was funny, once all the women knew that none were in my act, they could care less what I looked at or said during thier auditions. I bothered most of the guys though, because I was quiet, didn't ask for much, and would scribble down one work notes as they did their audition and monologue. Unless I see anyone better on Wednesday which is the night of the 2nd set of auditions, I am relatively sure I have the 2 guys I want.
I remember thinking..shit, my act is really short, but after watching the cold reads of just 2 pages, my act will take like an hour. Of a two hour play. That says a lot. I got the impression that this guy was a little weak and couldn't come off with the pissed off end of the line desperate anger I want this character to have, but after hearing and seeing his resume, and being convinced by the other directors and stage manager who have worked with him before, I think I can get what I want out of him. We will see...the drama unfolds!
Sold my punching bag on eBay, 78 bucks! Woo! Have been doing my usual daily looking and often buying of stuff on eBay, all figures, and one Care Bear for Karen. Have sold almost all my Star Wars doubles, and have made a goddamned fortune off of them. I think I have successfully sold about the same amount as half my collection cost me. Yippee Skippy.
Not much to talk about, getting into Nip/Tuck, which is a KICKASS show. Too bad I have to wait for season 2 to come to DVD. Hehehe...wait for the DVD. Remember when you used to do that?
Saw Batman Begins last week. Spectacularly done. It was great for the adult in me, but the demented black humoured bastard in me still likes the two originals. They just had a dark humour that was not there in this one. Granted the Schumacher messes made me want to forget about Batman forever, this new one was spectacular, and rivals Batman Returns as the best of the series. Even though this new series wants nothing to do with the old one. Bitch, you crazy.
Decided not to put Life Of Lee on the webserver, only because it isn't that funny. Terror with 9 Lives and Thugs of New Brampton will be great though. I should really get around to doing that. Now that the play is starting though, who knows how busy I will be, what with work and the play and all the other shit I do. Ay Carumba! Too bad we never made a movie of Terrorist Mike. I remembered I really wanted to, and wrote a script and everything, but it never came to be, and actually started my first major battle with the CST Crew. Ah..memories.
My Dad told me he wants me to become a father soon. Crazy cracker! I told him that if I get my way, I'll be dead before fatherhood, which made no sense, so we just left it there.

Sigh....the beginning of another week.
And here it is, Monday again. Yeehaw. This heat sucks balls. The upstairs was a sauna, so we finally broke down and bought another air conditioner for upstairs. We have the one in the dining room which feeds the entire middle level, but sleeping upstairs was fucking impossible, and both the fans were doing nothing. I just have to insulate it a bit more around the top, and that bitch is air tight!
I can't even imagine what our hydro bill is going to be for this month. Ay Carumba. At least most of the rest of Ontario is feeling the same. Scully fell sideways into her little pool this weekend and got almost entirely submersed, and she didn't skip a beat. I guess this means that if we take her out and let her go into a pool where she can't touch the ground, she should be ok. I think that will happen when we go camping.
Hmm...twas a pretty boring weekend actually. Sat inside for most of it to get away from the damned heat. Took the dog for a couple walks, but even she wasn't in the mood for going out. Watched a lot of movies, read a little, and Sunday went to the flea market and I got a book and two figures.
The heat makes it impossible for me to read man, I just am not in the mood for it. I want to finish Wolves of the Calla, since I am told it kicks ass, and so far it has been great, but I just can't get in the mood for it. Usually when I force myself to start reading, I get into it within a couple pages (As long as the book doesn't suck).
Well, that seems all for this entry. A boring weekend, a boring week ahead. A boring....boring....day....today.

Naked dirty sluts who get nasty for free!!
Now that I have your attention, I can bore you with my life.
136 bucks in stupid parking, for 4 days. Fucking insane. And it STILL isn't over. I have to go back to this place on Thursday, at like 8 in the morning. How much does that fucking suck? Yay, a morning in shitty Toronto. Hopefully it will go quickly, and then I can spend all morning in Toronto just dicking around.
Next up, TV Shows being watched. Possibly the best show on television started its last season Monday night. I haven't yet watched the episode, but soon I will. Man, Carnivale came to an abrupt end, but now sadly, everything, everyone, everywhere, ends. I have yet to be disappointed by a season of this show, and I know the last season will far from be mediocre. Looking forward to it!
What else..hmm..that is really it. I have 4 Star Wars figures and my punching bag on eBay right now. I was super surprised that the Darth Maul's didn't sell in like 5 mins. I thought he was a real sought after character, but I guess I was wrong. Maybe there are places that will buy or trade figures, but I can look into that later.
We rented Season 3 of 24, and man, I sure am glad I didn't buy it. It really was wasted. It had some genuinely tense moments, but the baby, and Kim, and the whole Stephen Saunders thing was so fucking weak. It was dull as hell. Past the 12th show, I had little to no interest in what happened, and most viewers felt the same, as the show suffered SERIOUS drops in season 3. Season 4 was great though.
Really that is all there is. I have been working so much that I basically just flop on the couch for a while then fall asleep every night I get home. Mr. T pities me, for I am a fool.
