I haven’t written here in a very long time. It’s mostly due to my health but also due to the fact Today.Com changed rates on me. I was about to receive a check from them then I fell short of the cutoff amount and it’s near impossible to reach now. Using the computer aggrevates my medical condition so I’ve been trying to limit it.

I have lots of things going on and lots to write about. I saw a new doctor and am feeling much better so I’ll start off with a few topics.

Heroes is back! Volume 4 now… can you believe it? Technically I feel we should be on 3 now but whatever! I still want to buy the Season 2 DVD but with all the great streaming sites it’s just not worth it. The economy is crap but one thing to look forward to is good old fashioned Hollywood entertainment.

Celebrity Apprentice is also coming back. I was pleased with the show and winner last time. I also loved the Quizno sammies the show brought to the store. They’re gone now… I’m sad about that. I love the contestant choice this time. It’s like they picked people from similar careers but I feel I know these contestants better. A few highlights are Andrew Dice Clay, Joan Rivers & daughter, Tom Green, Clint Black, and many more. Those are just the first that come to mind.

America’s Next Top Model is also starting soon. This is Cycle 12. Jeez, I can’t even count anymore. The girls this time look really boring. The first show is usually my favorite where they narrow everyone down. Youtube kind of took away the surprise by showing the confirmed contestants. I’ll have to watch to see whose personality stands out. From the pictures, I liked London and Sandra. People are saying London is short, but hey they picked Eve. ANTM never seems to care about the things real fashion cares about; it’s a show. Sandra has some awesome photos out and I see her potential. She could be a winner. There’s no plus sized models this time. I think that’s good. It’s easier to be a plus sized model and more people fit that shoe. They seem to be going back after high fashion instead of commercial models. If you watch the show though, you know they never actually know what they want.

I’m currently watching the show True Beauty. It’s produced by Tyra Banks and Ashton Kutscher. It’s kind of hokey but it works because most of the contestants are self-absorbed and oblivious. It’s also putting them under a microscope… I think of myself as a good person but there’s lots of situations I’m sure I overlook or reasons I wouldn’t respond. They make choices based on any little thing they find, but I do agree some of them are just way off from inner beauty. I guess it’s something hard to prove. At any rate, it’s entertaining and that’s what TV is for… other than learning, communication, and all that other stuff. xD

I’ve been working a bit. I consider myself lucky to have work in these hard times, but I think people that have no job at all aren’t looking hard enough. Sometimes we all have to go under our perceived market value to get work and money flow. Remember it’s better to make less than nothing and pennies stack up. It’s also a reminder to spend wiser and that we can’t throw around money like the 90’s was all about… bling on car rims, gas guzzlers, brand names, expensive handbags. If it’s for you, that’s cool but I just don’t see it as necessary. It’s nice, but not necessary.

I did another round of posing for the art school, worked at the MacWorld 2009 show, and starred as an extra in an upcoming big motion picture. I doubt you’ll be able to see me at all, being that I was to blend into the backround but I got to be in Funny People. I also got to see Seth Rogen. He looks huge in movies and pictures but he’s not actually that big/tall. He also looks like he’s thinner. I’m sure he’s been busy but maybe it’s the camera adding weight. Good times.
