Even Dean Martin didn’t drink this much…

Enterprise Rent-a-Car’s latest corporate decision, was to pull all water-cooler systems from their chains, in order to be more cost-effective hence, the musician who fasts on Tuesday and drinks no water on Thursday, to be more cost-effective on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and weekends – WTF?

Okee – Maybe there is a point to it all (but my deductive logic has yet to interpret it). We can all cut-back sometimes I suppose however, where does this halting of resources truly make an impact on those around us in the economy?

I know, I’ll only play synthesizers with green-safe keys; and convert to virtual-instruments shortly after.

Please.

I’m feeling great; I’ve been busier these days so I’ve not really been able to populate this blog as much as I’d like. Of course, I’ve never actually truly found a frequent rhythm but none the less, I shall by 2009’s beginning.

On the entertainment side of things, I’ve got tons of extremely exciting things coming up; including more projects with Mary Margaret Park, where I serve as co-producer.

I think we’ll all have a streak of good days again soon. None will probably ever be as golden as early youth days, but something small around us all will probably heap us into a different mindset.

Hillary Clinton was considered for Secretary of State; I don’t want to hear anymore about change from Obama supporters. He wants to stand at the podium and say, “Don’t worry about who I’m working with, I’m the change.” so f*ck it, rebellious revolution he wants, that he shall get.

Did you know that in some countries, a blog is considered a clandestine entity?

But some say this is marketing? (Faggots)

Have a fun, safe, and happy holiday season – I’m feeling great and hope that you’re super-charged in whatever you’re doing at the moment, even if it isn’t exactly what you had in mind. Times are tough but chilling-out where it counts is still a good thing to be about (Ja?).

Sincerely,

Something Different

The election voiced an opinion in many regards, hence as it voiced an option. No one takes politicians beyond their speeches, but the unusual circumstances revolving around the playground that Wall-Street created with people’s hard-earned savings, and the tidal-wave of misused executive powers, placed us in a position that never really was questionable.

Many became angered. Many became helpless. Some even became self-convicting for their crimes in not paying attention.

That was never necessary.

I can’t speak to actions that have not been taken. This change which is spoken must manifest itself to which until January, there is no rallying discussion. A forum of open ended reprisals and sentimental conflictions may be all there is through the year’s end. My optimism shall remain intact regardless of what many may say is fact or fiction.

I ponder items of all range and size but not now nor’ ever, shall I wonder the circumstances.

Like the movie-title suggests, I want to live free or die hard *

The Mikheil Saakashvili/Johnson & Johnson Connection…

At some point last week, I saw Mikheil Saakashvili (the Georgian President) on Fox-News, as a guest on Neil Cavuto’s show – What…the…..frig?

I rarely watch any entertainment-news, and the moment I want to see what the three networks are touting for their opinion polls, I see some blaring Russian mishap, commenting on the world’s affairs as an expert.

I am going to go on Cavuto’s show as the CEO of Johnson & Johnson (despite that I’m not the CEO); I feel a song coming on as well; trite or right?

Paul Newman: beyond life & death…

I think Paul Newman was one of the greatest individuals to ever exist on this Earth. He did a lot on & off camera which truly, wasn’t as highlighted as it could have been. Throughout the years, as Hollywood became more mediocre and actors began spieling for pennies & pundits, you could always listen to a voice like Newman’s and know that everything forms full-circle in entertainment.

I feel this because he wasn’t very Hollywood at all; and it isn’t just because of that that he has my eternal admiring but rather, it is my sincere hope that I can one day fit the mold of his pinnacle.

My ultimate goal would be to exist beyond it but, every goal ever accomplished had a starting-point before it blew up in someone’s face.

He is someone great to follow in the footsteps of for overcoming your small-feats. Many actors in today’s society are simply people with glorified hobbies.

Many people are actually (if you think about it), in the same boat with life. I’ll now leave you with some quotes (paraphrased more or less) by Mr. Paul Newman:

“Every time I get a script, it’s a matter of trying to know what I could do with it. I see colors, imagery. It has to have a smell. It’s like falling in love. You can’t give a reason why.”

“The embarrassing thing is that the salad dressing is out-grossing my films.”

“If you don’t have enemies, you don’t have character.”

“Acting isn’t really a creative profession. It’s an interpretative one.”

“If you’re playing a poker game and you look around the table, and can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.”

“Who’s to say who’s an expert?”

“Costa Rica is a marvelous place to enter the atmosphere.”

- Paul Newman (1925-2008) R.I.P.

The Wall-Street Waltz is in 6/8, not 3/4? Time for a new dance-teacher then, aye?

Understanding the banking bailout issues in Wall-Street is not difficult (regardless whether you’re younger or older). If you pay taxes, you simply have to ask yourself what would happen if you couldn’t pay your bills. The answer to that question is, you won’t have a Home, Car, or Water, or Electricity, etc. – The list goes on, but the USA, despite some oddities in the past eight-years, is not cents-less (or senseless).

The U.S. Congress has acted in accordance with the people (more or less). People want the banks to pay for their ills, just as they would put any citizen through bankruptcy proceedings.

The American says, “Hey, why the h*ll would I want to bailout a bankrupt bank?”

It isn’t logical and, it really implies the differences between the laws for the poorer and the richer being vastly different.

I as well believe that the banks should be put through bankruptcy proceedings. I’ve known plenty of people who have lost assets, both responsibly & irresponsibly. The implication of Bush persuading that a decision on the bill must be reached or else, is really just an implication of how criminal the bankers activities were in the first place (alongside the other unspoken aspects).

Watch out when driving along Wall-Street at prime-time. There is this new-breed of prostitute. They stride about touting, “Oh come on sir, please bail us out…I’ll s*ck your d*ck…..”

Charming, isn’t it?

Did Chris Rock kill the message?

I’m trying to figure out when Chris Rock became Eddie Griffin. I recall a time when Mr. Rock was funny in the wise-sense. Even in some of his earlier, over the top routines, his points always made a concise reversion to what we see on the streets. In Kill the Messenger, he invokes an essence to “N” comedy that unfortunately, made him passé in the process.

“N” comedy refers to ‘Nigger’ or ‘Nigga’ comedy; a term he claims that the white-folk must never reinterpret to the world however; for the purposes of this blog, I’ve defined it so we can politically & correctly, refer to it as “N” comedy – Not that it makes a difference in the end but you know, I care what other people think of what Chris Rock thinks?

Eddie Griffin is sort of the epitome of this comedic formula. His byline stating, “I say the N word because the more I say it, the less it means” (paraphrased), encapsulates the edge in his introspective validation.

Herr Rock on the other hand, took his turn at an all-out, “N” formulaic comedy hour and well, it really wasn’t funny to me. It was supposed to be this grand session of taking potshots at real issues and some of his more outrageous definitions of what it is to be black etc. but in the end, it was a repeat of Griffin and a few others that seem to only advocate the Negro-ness of existing and not really, the humanistic truths.

People do things that either makes them better or worse, but it can never really be said that they are good or evil in the strictest sense. Mr. Rock believes that racism is the ailing, with no cure but to have more blackness (at least, that’s what I took away from his show?) – It doesn’t make sense, anymore than a musician claiming that Rappers are signed more than white-artists because of racism.

Race is a scientific issue altogether.

Hopefully, in his next show, he’ll come back to Earth and realize that while it may seem because of items like poverty and societal-chaos, that the world’s ails are still spirited on racism and neglect, for a lot of peoples, it is simply the fact that they don’t want to take better care of themselves or the others around them.

Anyway, I think I’ll go blame the Jews and people from Idaho for the banking fallout; oh, and those CEO’s over at Pepsi, they’re communist mind-control freaks.

Lastly, Bill Maher may indeed be my half-bother after all in which case, I have to extend my apologies to anyone I ever belched in the direction of who was Catholic but Christians, get your gasmasks ready.

Questions are Answers…

People’s questions are worded in thousands of different ways yet sometimes, they are still the same “one” question all the while. Let’s step away from entertainment and focus on life for a second. Life is this enigmatic conundrum of good, bad, confusing, and bi-polar existences.

That’s natural.

Imagine someone wanted to know what they could do to get more out of life.

Milestones are set as we mature, evolve, etc. If we don’t ask…it might be detrimental…..even if we are content. The simplest answer is usually to go and find like-minded people and become part of their communities.

That’s one of many possible beginnings.

In answer to what one might do to get more out of their book, movie, music, comedy (and life’s) dreams; all I can really tell you is that furthering success, will require rallying in the portion of your skills that doesn’t involve, business.

If nothing else, you’ll continue to learn and become one of the greatest at what you pursue in life. It’s one of many possible endings.

Respectfully & Sincerely,

Nick Nolte, Eddie Murphy, & Tom Cruise in — Another Cold War…

Okay. So maybe that isn’t such a good movie idea after all. The Russian’s love to be themselves; I think the Russian’s are tired of playing “Monotony” (by Halliburton) – But what the f*ck is this?

Herr Bush says, “Russia, now calm…no…..calm down or, I won’t rent you anymore Nintendo games.” Herr Putin says, “…but…but…..but Georgia started it.”

My opinion is, Georgia probably did.

See, Russian’s, as barbaric as they can be etc. They’re still smart people. It is easier to demonize than it is to see what is truly standing between fact & fiction. I’m not pro-Kremlin. I’m not pro-Putin. I’m not pro-Soviet. Georgian military was shooting at journalist and pointing guns at civilians. The Georgian president was on television demonizing the Russian Bear.

Okay.

We can say who did what first all we want however, if the Georgian Military is that out of whack, and they trained with U.S. Military, well…..then that must mean something is wrong with all of this…period.

Rather than speak further, I point to two video links:

Indie Buzz Bootcamp (Part 2): Meeting Bob Baker

Bob Baker is the silly, (admittedly) corny, lackluster, excellent event coordinator I perceived him to be. This ‘in the flesh’ experience was surreal. Like a David Lynch film, with an almost all Country/Americana soundtrack. We were both astonished by some invisible force. We were both enamored with the very fact that we stood side by side discussing nothing intense.

I don’t guess karma was ill; I don’t presume there was behind the mind disdain either. We got along fine for what it’s worth, which is a lot if you went to this event to be, “exorcized”. I mean that comically & seriously. It takes more than an idea and vision to move into reality with your goals. While I have known this all my life, I couldn’t understand how some others, didn’t.

I still call that stupidity; because some of these individuals seemed to be very well articulated. Did they have the catalogue (music) to empower the words shared…I don’t know…..and to some degree, I don’t care. We were there to get away from what most of us would call, “tasting the grime”. Bob is more or less, a bubbly individual with a family that is enjoyably quirky.

Does this meeting change the nature of my perspective on him or those that I deem the ‘how-to’ jockeys? No. But I’ve never decried any of them as ‘not hard working’ or ‘ethically incorrect’. Anyone who is going to want to be an authority on something, I shall challenge. Sometimes until they are sickened but mostly, for fun and for reflective; transition.

Thank you Bob (Baker) for being embracing, accepting, & just closed enough to allow the Hero/Villain aesthetic to allow us the greeting.
