A late Thanksgiving posting...

Well, due to what can only be described as an overdose of trytophan, it took me a bit of time to post my Thanksgiving tale.
This year, my plan to "give back" turned into a huge success. I found an ad, thru the popular website craigslist.org, telling me of a group that does a sort of grass roots "feed the homeless" and I followed up on it . Now, I didn't really push for details ( I'm a photographer, not a journalist ) but as near as I can tell, this was the name of the "project"....



and this is where we met on Sunset....
and this is what we did... in a sort of fire brigade fashion, food, which everyone supplied, was placed on plates. Huge amounts of food, Turkey, yams, potatoes, and gravy, etc. ( I manned the gravy...the one thanksgiving staple of which I have never been fond ). Tons of food... Well, technically maybe not tons of food, but no one counted.


then the plates of food where placed in bags, then placed in cars, and the bags were delivered to the homeless that the drivers found.

The energy was amazing. The feeling of helping was very obvious and the people in attendance were all great people. Some 500 plates of food went out and some people brought articles of clothing, blankets, and other household items that anyone without would appreciate. It was a great couple of hours and a great project.



Then, a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with friends, primarily short friends from the enchanted forest. Yeah, a few of snow white's dwarves. I was invited by a dear friend.... who is attacking the Turkey with a new electric knife...
An awesome dinner and an awesome day...

thanks for taking a moment of your day to read....

more news to follow...

including the exciting ..thrilling... tragic ... foray into the world of reality TV. Which airs this Friday... My version of the story will be posted after the airing...

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOO !!!!!

Well Nick... I'm sorry. Jessica Simpson left him

But, it's finally happened. Yeah, now we can be open, now that its in the tabloids. Jessica has left Nick. I feel bad for ya Nick, but, what can I say. Oh sure, there will be those that say I stole her from you. There will be those that say, she needs time alone. But, we love each other. We do. And love can't be wrong. Oh sure there are people that say she is stupid. I used to be one of those people, then I learned that conversations aren't important. Love is beyond that. Nick, some day you'll look back on losing Jessica and you will feel good. You will realize it was a good thing. I know I will. Until then , let us have our fun.
Let me be the first to say Merry Christmas everyone...and Jessica would also like to wish you all a happy new year, but she can't right now. I unfortunately placed her in a paper bag and asked her to sing her way out... I havent seen her for awhile. But for Christmas I am getting her a bucket for her tunes. It's sad. Right now she cant even carry a tune in a bucket, and I want her to be able to.

ARRGGHHH !!!!!! Okay, approximately seven days left and I just hit the halfway point... I'm not feeling overly confident. But, I do know I will finish. The real gripe I have write now, is the laptop I am writing on...was a cheap one I got through an auction site... which in pig latin is... ummm..ebay... I guess.. Drat. Umm anyway to make a long story short, somehow it is unable to accept a spell check into the programming. So... even as I type I know that near day 30th...I have to do a major spell check. Oops. And the REAL bite is... the letter "t" tends to duplicate itself consistently, leading to words like : hesitttantttly, bittter. So, spell check won't be fun. At all. But I must finish.

Three hours at Starbucks a night or so... and I will finish gracefully.

Pro wrestler Eddie Guerrero found dead.

I am stunned. Yeah I didn't know the guy, but I did watch him wrestle just last week. He put on an awesome show. Just kind of one of those weird things. No results as to why yet, but either way, he is gone. Say what you want about the sports entertainment called professional wrestling, but this guy knew how to work a crowd. And he and Dave Batista ( pictured below in a seperate post ) put on one of the best matches I have ever seen. Eddie you will be missed.

NEW GAME !!!!!

Okay, so I am completely panicked and completely out of work. I am picking up the odd gig here and there, but not having a steady gig is truly frightening. Haven't been in this boat in a while. I did manage to book a nice commercial, so thats some money. I have been told I will be hosting a new segment on a local..possibly state wide program...but you can truly smell the smoke and see the mirrors in this gig. Which is my way of saying... it's..if not bogus... not going to be whats promised. I end up with more than my fair share of this kind of gig....

So..in my downtime I have a new past time....

cruising this blog site....and surfing all the blogs...BUT..I have added a new twist and it's cracking me up...

I translate the pages of languages I don't know... leading to some interesting blogs...
here are three of my favorite so far....

and...I have no idea what it means... but it sure does kill time... sad huh?
the following are exerpts...

In the emergency...
the devil flies eats. Or the sausage without bread. Or blog should the solution be? The way out of chronic lack of work, to wealth, power and satisfaction. And I blow disappointed...
======================

It has seated me before, in a chair of so large day-care center. The table is one of those short that puts between the sofa and the television, with which I am forced to double espinazo in a position one picks uncomfortable. It has position a short dress and vaporous, with good decollete, and two melonescas teats in which almost she supports the chin since a girl would do showing itself to the counter after which there is something interests to him. There is something strange and fascinating in her, must be that game of disproportions, with those great hands and until tufas, a body of girl and a ass of adult, reduced to perfect scale but of form, and those feet of girl, contained in sandals of tirillas with average heel. An average heel that it does not intend to increase his stature, battles lost, but to accentuate its arched ones and to cause that their ass is still more respingón.

To America they say olive to him, because they removed the gray matter to him, put Chile to him and all take hold it of cocktail snack.

Man, ya have to love blogspot....

New car..no money...and a recent slow down in all work. Lots of auditions, call backs and a pretty good run of photo gigs
( shutteropen.blogspot ) but... without income in coming I've been kind of stressed. Leading me to spend more time online...(yeah insomnia !) if it is indeed possible...to spend MORE time on here... but I do...
So, the cool thing about blogspot is the ability to surf by hitting "next blog " in the corner....
There are some great sites here... I read some...comment on some... leave comments. It's a very unique society here...
Hey, if you are looking to see who left you a comment...feel free to comment here...
Like a whole new group of unknown friends.

IT AIN'T OVER ???

Okay, so even though I have yet to post the story of the "HOW CLEAN IS YOUR HOUSE" taping, they called again today. They want to do an internet follow up. Meaning a taping to post on their internet site. YIKES.... Okay, so for the past few days I have had the flu or some bizarre allergy sinus thing. Last night an earache woke me up. I can't remember ever having that happen as an adult.

So, I'm wondering around my empty house at 230 a.m. feeling like a little kid wanting my mom. I have no medication nor knowledge of what to do for this ache. No caffiene free tea... No cold/sinus stuff, and a cat sleeping by my head that CAN'T be helping my sinuses. So, I take the dreaded NyQuil I find in my bathroom cabinet. I dont think it's past any expiration date, but to be honest, I don't care.... so ... to make a long story short... I'm buzzed all day from the giant Q... ( Dennis Leary says it better... check out his NyQuil rant ) and I'm not happy.

I have been sick so the house is a pig sty. I can't believe they want back in. They literally tore this house apart in an attempt to clean it.... ridiculous. So, now they want back in and there is no way I can return it to the immaculate and sterile condition they left it and much less do I want to....

I will post the airing date here for my faithful readers and I will post my side of it as well.. but let me say it here first.

They made it look as bad as it was...and when they fixed it.... they made it worse.

2000 plus books all organized so they would look pretty for the camera.... Can you imagine visiting a library that organizes their books by height ???

sigh... news as it happens....

An awesome way to spend a night...

Thanks to my good friend Scott, I was able to attend WWE wrestling at the Staples Center here in LA.
Now ya see... I love professional wrestling... yeah yeah... I know. Did I mention I'm single ?

These guys and women... put on an awesome show. Truly top notch.From start to finish, over the top entertainment. From the dark shows to the final match, which, if you have never been to a taping, the last show...match... is a little unusual. Well, at least last Sunday, and I have to assume every show. This is the match that I have to assume made Owen Hart the hero to wrestlers that he was. Not a completely serious match, more for laughs and definitely more for show. Wrestlers are top notch athletes. They put their body on the line every single performance. It's an insult to say it's fake. Fake ?.... ummm sorry. Okay, scripted maybe, outcomes pre-planned... to a degree at least, but ... what a show. I'm not a big fan of professional sports. But, pro wrestling ? Sign me up.
And if any of the superstars, or want to be superstars out there read this... feel free to comment... and lets do it...you and me... street brawl. You bring the trash cans....
Ill bring the drum sticks....
