He's Better than Matthew Perry

I have just been hit with a major bomb drop.

Yahoo! has a story that has Matt Leblanc admitting to dying his hair black for the entire run of the hit* TV show Friends. What's next, Sean Hayes who played Jack McFarland on the hit* series Will & Grace is actually gay?

You're a sneaky one, Hollywood.

*= depends who you ask.

Great VidCraft!

Digg had this awesome video featured on their site: Lego StarCraft

This is just so bad-ass. The only problem I have with it is that it's featured and discussed when StarCraft 2 is released. Where were these people 5 years ago? Come on, gang!

Snookie and J-Woww!!!

I just signed up for a chance to party with Snookie and J-Woww right after I got done reading a short story by Richard Matheson.

Yeah, I'm pretty much everything MTV is looking for in this contest. I mean come on it's so simple to imagine me hanging with a slutty Stepford wife and her assistant Igor------------------------------------------------------------------------------->

NOTE: yes, I blogged earlier but disliked it so much that I deleted it and posted this instead. Perhaps now my mother can be proud of me.

Rally for the Parent Trap remake star.

Digg.com had this dispicable news to report.

I don't believe people cared this much about Nelson Mandela.

I hate all of you who march for her, please find something better to do.

Not Canon!

LA Times reported that a man dressed as Darth Vader and robbed a bank in Setauket, NY.

He's very lucky that I wasn't there because I would've been complaining that:
1) Lord Vader doesn't use any weapons besides the force and his lightsaber--let alone a handgun.
2) He should've cosplayed as a Stormtrooper since they carry blasters (at the very least).
3) I feel as if your peripheral vision is completely shutdown when wearing that mask and totally would've kicked his ass for disgracing not just the Star Wars Universe but also one of the greatest villians of all time. To turn a great warrior who fell from grace and is hunting his very son and daughter into a petty thief is one of the lamest things a person could do. Well, besides nitpicking the geeky flaws in said lameness.

Tsk, tsk, dude. You're a traitor and part of the Rebel Alliance. Take her away! I mean him--him!

Productive Day? You tell me.

I met up with my friend from LA, we discussed the industry, my scripts and random douche bags in Hollywood (I luckily don't know as many as he).

Afterward I surprised my grandmother with a pizza lunch. (I'm that kind of guy).

Fast forward to later on where I traded in my old Sega Genesis and NES games for... (wait for it)

Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth! It's not the best shooter, but it's fun especially when "free."

I'm now off to eat some Thai for a friend's birthday.

So yeah, it's been pretty productive over here.

In case you're wondering here's my top score so far:
Hi-Score: 226,906,017
Max Hit: 13031 <-- palindrome!
Ship: Blue <-- certainly not a palindrome.
Stage: Final Mission end boss. (I almost had him!!!)

I failed Tuesday

I missed posting yesterday due to my family's annual trip to the water park Splish Splash. Normally I'm a bit defeated when I miss a post here but I'm just glad that I didn't ignore ol' Wednesday.

Since today is the day I usually deny a post, I figured that I'd celebrate by posting. Now, most of you will probably perceive this post as mundane and uninformative and I resent that. You see, I feel as if this post is important because I will now reveal to you all the cure for the common cold:

SPOILER WARNING!!! (scroll to the bottom if you dare)








































Just inhale through your nose--the hair follicles inside of it capture dirt--and exhale out of your mouth. Also, try your best to avoid germs and people who are sick, becoming sick, or just coming over a sickness.

For Arthur Miller

Thought this one up at the bank earlier today. I was going to draw it, but decided to use Paint since it's been quite a while.

Thinking of speccing Castle.

I've done quite a bit of half-hour comedies since I realized my passion for TV writing last year. Now I think it's time for me to write a dramedy to show more facets of my ability and to conquer another challenge from behind my laptop and I don't mean Warcraft 2.

But the DVD set for Season 1 (10 episodes on 3 discs) is $35 at BestBuy--no thanks! I'll have to do it the old-fashioned way: Tivo and Hulu.

Thanks old-timey internet and technology! Now in the spirit of such I shall use a battlecry from Warcraft 2 as I research Castle: "We're ready master--I'M NOT READY!"
NOTE: I'm the Ogre head that is ready--OH, and we're an Ogre-Mage not just a plain Ogre. Got that?

ALT+B ALT+B ALT+B!

Why do I always neglect Wednesday posts?

I'm never truly busy on Wednesdays, and yet every "hump day" (I hate that phrase) I completely forget that I maintain a blog.

Let's hope I'm a lot better at being a dad if/when that ever happens. For those readers who don't actually know about my life outside of this blog, you probably assume never.

Well I'm off to box up a board game that I'm trading for other board games, then I'll rack my brain for the remainder of the night trying to fathom what a naked woman looks like.

3 separate posts that combine to make 1!

My mom returned today (with my nephews) and as I waited for them to get off of the plane I went to the lighthouse model to envision a battle, and then I saw the sign that read: "Fire Island." This whole time I just assumed that the model was of the lighthouse at Montauk Point, never Fire Island. My imaginative, miniature battles have been flawed with fantasy!!!

Also, I saw the final two episodes of Happy Town on ABC.com this morning and I have to say that they were really good. I guess you need to get the supernatural stuff out there quick before people stop watching. It was good and the creators should do some sort of wrap-up with the series.

Finally, a big KUDOS to Peter Outerbridge for his portrayal of "Handsome" Dan Farmer. He played a deranged yet witty cop very well. Be sure to check out his other work from Millennium (another show that deserves a well-to-do wrap up).

I'm a Graduate of Comedy College!

Yep, I was told how to tell a joke. Did you know that a joke is broken down into two parts? Neither did I!

Part 1) "The Set-up" -this is where you set up your joke for part 2-
"I saw my ex-girlfriend the other day."

Part 2) "The Punchline" -this is where you hit the audience with the funny part-
"But she didn't see me because she was blindsided by a bus!"

Now it sounds simple, but it's hard to rack my brain for funny thoughts. Like for instance the first joke I ever wrote was:

"I prefer Irish Spring soap over Ivory."

I was told that this is a "statement" and not so much considered a "joke."

But after intense writing sessions I could write funny jokes such as:

See above (the one about my ex getting run over. Note: that didn't actually happen, thank goodness. I also learned that you can lie on stage and that no one will really know or even care.)

PS I was lying about liking Irish Spring over Ivory, but apparently it still isn't funny.

WAR! What is it good for? GAMING!

My nephews are visiting! But not yet. My mom has to go take a flight to Florida to pick them up (because I'm a huge sissy when it comes to planes) then she'll return Tuesday with them.

In just a little bit I'll be taking her to MacArthur airport, and probably escort her inside where they have an amazing model of the lighthouse at Montauk Point. Now, I know this is lame but everytime I see that model I always wish I could bring my Axis & Allies minis (from the board game) and storm the beaches of Montauk!

What's weird is war is a terrible thing, but it's so fun, exciting and awesome when played out with miniatures and detailed terrain.

Summit has gone too far!

Digg.com showed me this ridiculous article on Summit Entertainment, and how they are suing and shutting down most companies for using stock photos of the Twilight movie franchise.

" The law may be on Summit's side in some cases, but the spirit of what the company is doing -- shutting down almost anyone referencing Twilight without its permission -- shows the shortcomings in how we understand and interpret copyright law. "






So in the spirit of me trying my best to bother people:






























TEAM JACOB!!!

Pipe Dreams... AGAIN!

I've been re-watching some episodes of the X-Files and I'm starting to get that urge to be an investigator again.

I just imagine myself like Mulder investigating creepy cases of Fluke Monsters, Vampires or Werewolves. When in reality I'll probably stick my nose out in somebody's business who catches me (easily) and roughs me up. Now I've never been in a real fight, so "roughing me up" will do plenty of damage and be the equivelent of beating me half to death.

I hate being a sissy who wants to track down murderous vampires with a flashlight and an inquisitive mind.

Disappointment

Apparently SyFy decided to not host a marathon of Twilight Zone episodes. Instead they opted for The Greatest American Hero.

7/4/2010 will forever be a date that will live in infamy. I'm just glad Rod Serling (and FDR) aren't here to see it.

1776 to 2010

This Sunday is the 4th of July, and I'll be celebrating with some outdoors action followed by ye' old patriotic tradition of watching the Twilight Zone marathon on SyFy.

Thanks, Georgie Wash!

Enjoy!

PROOF READ!!!!!!

Just a heads up, before submitting a script or application make sure to READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY! Sometimes you may just misread "characteristics" as "characters" and look like a total ass to a studio.
