...the whoreporation...

We are human beings. We are being assimilated. Existence as we know it is over. They are adding our biological and technological distinctiveness to their own. Our culture is adapting to service them. Resistance ... is futile.

Or is it.

...all good things...

After many months of planning and preparation, rehearsals, crazy times, stressful times, fun times, Suburban Motel has come to an end. It passed by so quickly and ended so abruptly. But it went amazingly. Congrats to the cast and crew. It was a blast, and man, was it good. I sat thru nine hours of George F. Walker, watching my peers show off how good they were. I saw things come out of everyone on that stage that I had never seen from any of them. Everyone proved themselves, especially after they overcame the small time-frame we had to get it ready. Adrian tells no lie when he says that directing has a satisfaction like none other. When the lights closed on those shows (particularly the ones I played a part in), I wanted to wheep. But that's not manly so I didn't. I said earlier I sat through nine hours of theatre, that was wrong. I was entertained for nine hours, forgetting how much time had past.

Thank you Sam. Thank you Derek. Thank you Melissa. Thank you Furr. Thank you Janelle. Thank you Marietta. Thank you MacQuarrie. Thank you Alex. Thank you Harmony. Thank you Peter. Thank you Coolsy. Thank you Foffinator. Thank you Claire. Thank you Lindsday. Thank you Giz. Thank you Drew. Thank you Kim. Thank you Dusan. Thank you Dewy. Thank you Brendan. Thank you Jess. Thank you Dez. Thank you Gayle. Thank you Tara. Thank you Steve. And to you Adrian -- Thanks man. You're the best.

Suburban Motel may be over but I will never forget it. I worked with two great casts on two great shows in a series of six great shows. I had fun. I learned more than I ever thought I would.

Thank you. All of you.

...Eeeenteresteeeeng...

Check this out. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen, which shows the true excitement of my life none of you ever get to see. Hours of mindless fun, if of course it works on your computer.

...I direct your attention to an Automatic Thought...

I made an ass of myself today, unintentionally. This happens often, although today I really felt like an ass. My buddy Foff sent me a link to his latest blog, which I had already seen on his MSN name. I had opened his site and meant to read it, then got distracted. When he sent me the link, I said to him, "Read it. Liked it." I hadn't read it. I was lying. But I had intended to read it. I made a few dumb jokes, then realized after reading it that his latest blog wasn't something that I should have liked reading. And it wasn't something that I should have been joking about either. I seemed callous and uncaring. That is not me. I'm sorry Foff buddy. And I got your back, no matter what you need.

Foff and Will's family have asked for your prayers. Some of you don't pray. If you don't then please provide positive energy and thoughts in exchange.

Please read Foff's blog.

PS -- When I said I liked it, it was kinda true. It was very well written. The Foffinator is capable of extreme cleverness.

... ...

How we deal with life when everything is perfect and working according to plan does not show who we really are. It's how we deal with life when the shit hits the fan that defines us.

We all make mistakes. The only way to truly fix them is to learn from them.

Wise words. From a lush.

...I wish...

That there was more Christmas porn. I'm not sure how much of it there is out there, but if there's a demand, maybe one day I'll supply this demand. My first film will show something about society as well, the dirty sleazy underbelly of society, showing the life of a hooker who's dealing with a Christmas rush, trying to stay warm in there short skirt and low cut shirt. I will call it Prosty the Dirty Snow Whore. And it will win not only pornography awards, but also Oscars and Emmy's and MTV Movie Awards because of it's deep social commentary. Finally.

Something for everyone.

...they say...

...you don't know what you've got till it's gone.





Take it from me.














It's true.

...I may not be in school, but...

...I can still have an opinion about some of the things that go on there, especially if they affect me in some way. So I hear that the rule that you can't be in an outside show if you're in a university show was a rumor. That's great. Awesome. And I hear that my buddy has a different acting prof right now for his 4th year class because the prof who he's supposed to have is down at the coast workshopping a play she wrote with four others. Good for her. Don't get me wrong I love this instructor, I love all of the theatre profs at TRU. They've been great to me. I completely support her in her endeavors and I hope that they have fun workshopping a play. You go, girl.

What I DO NOT support is that this prof has been allowed to leave her job for a week or two, or more (how long she's gone for I do not know), while three members of Saucy Fops: The Musical? WERE NOT allowed to miss the first two weeks of school while we did the Vancouver run. One of them was allowed to, but with much hassle. Need I remind you that these students only need to worry about themselves and their studies (one individual) while an instructor has responsibility over 30 or 40 students (many individuals). This double standard outrages me.

As I said, I'm not a student any more. And as I said, I love those teachers and support them. But it's not okay with me if those students have rules put on them that the instructors are allowed to bypass. If they could have done the Vancouver run, then this whole issue I have would not exist.
