Shocking right? Jonah Hill? I'm sorry what? SO happy for Melissa McCarthy though. She has been getting accolades left and right. It's gonna be Octavia's oscar though. And I dunno if I've ever heard of an SNL person being nominated for an Oscar WHILE on SNL. I hope they win. I bolded my predictions for winners :) These aren't whom I think DESERVE it but whom I think will!
One day my name will be called as a nominee!!! I can't wait hehe
the one about the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest
So I entered this contest today. It runs from today through June. If WHO I AM AND WHAT I WANT wins the Grand Prize I get $15,000 as an advance on royalties towards a publishing deal with Penguin Group. Now here's the kicker: I may not win but can still get a publishing deal with Penguin Group. Confused?
Well if they want to publish my book but feel it's not "right" for the contest I can get a deal separately. So either way it would be amazing. I could win either way :)
I'm praying to get something out of this because even though I self-published it is run through Amazon so Penguin Group won't see that as unpublishable. I just want to get this book off the ground already. I feel like I have so much to accomplish and just sitting here waiting for my big break is slowly killing me LOL
Please send me some good vibes so I can start living my dream please hehe

the one about Chris Brown and Rihanna
So there is a rumor Chris Brown and Rihanna have been hooking up for a year secretly. This is probably the most disturbing thing I've ever heard...why? Because I believe it.
When it first broke that Chris Brown beat the black out of Rihanna I was shocked and disgusted. Then I thought something was funny when her police photos were released but I said "She's the victim. Let it go David." Then she did Diane Sawyer and I was like "Hmm ok this seems fishy still." One thing you can't doctor those photos. Those were real. I felt so bad for her but glad she got away. Then she came out with RATED R. I thought it was HIGHLY inappropriate for a girl who was just BEAT THE EFF UP to come out with such a sexual album. My friend Jeff said "I bet the album was done and finished prior to all of this. How could she have known all this would happen?" So I said "ok she has to forge ahead." I felt so much pain for her having to do such a sexual album at a painful time. And I noticed LOUD wasn't as sexual. S&M was a lil weird but she had to connect the two albums so I let it go.
TALK THAT TALK is a lil too risque but I said "maybe she found her footing again. It's fine."
On his side he died his hair blond. Ok a lil weird. Went on a legit interview and was asked about the "incident" the entire time. He is VERY in the right to be mad but throwing a chair into a window was inappropriate. Then he had TWO pix of his bam-bam online. One fully nude and the other in a skin-tight alien costume. His album sales remained steady but what really was frustrating is he NEVER apologized AND his fans blamed RIHANNA! Saying she must have done something to deserve to be hit. EXCUSE ME?! WTF?!
Then there was a tweet from Rihanna that was rumored to be about Chris and he responded. THEN she lifted the restraining order. Ok I can even forgive that cuz they are both successful musicians and have to attend award shows. It'd be awkward for both. But having them back together?
Why is this my business? Because what if I was a girl in an abusive relationship. Let's say I was a huge Rihanna fan and saw what she went through with Chris Brown and ended up leaving my boyfriend/husband cuz SHE gave me strength. To see/hear they got back together would KILL my spirits. I'd think to myself "Maybe my boyfriend/husband changed like Chris Brown. I should give him another shot. (insert excuse ranging from all the years we were together till we have kids)." And what if when I went back he didn't change and he continued to beat me OR I ended up dead? Who's to blame?
I know that's an extreme example but Rihanna is an international superstar yes she has a right to live her life as she wants, but when she became an abuse survivor in a domestic relationship PUBLICLY she became a spokesperson for all victimized women everywhere. Had she not done interviews about him and the incident then I can see her getting back with him privately and it's none of my business. Technically either way it's none of my business. But she sat in front of Diane saying how she has inspired women and now what? This is completely ridiculous. She is giving every man whom beat their girlfriend a second chance to do the same.
What's the recourse? Rihanna in my eyes joins a long list of celebrities I now enjoy what they do as far as music, movies, TV, and loathe them as people. Tom Cruise and Jennifer Ho-pez are on the list. It's a sad day today cuz I loved me some Ri-Ri.

the one about the update on my Kris Humphries crush
So I hear he went back to LA and got booed as he walked on the court. Meanwhile at the same time Lamar Odom (his ex-brother-in-law) was cheered as he stepped onto his own stomping ground in another part of town.
Kris ended up scoring 14 points while Lamar did 10. What's my point? People Kris has talent. I'm not gonna lie he's grating my nerves how he talks to Kim and treats her family, but I think deep down he's a good person.
Quit judging me I always have had a soft spot for the underdogs. I just hope he can change. He's actually suing Kim I think cuz he didn't realize his role would be so prominent on the show and he feels he's being made a full of in front of the country. And my fave quote "Editing does wonders." Unless they have Industrial Light & Magic editing those shows I'm pretty sure he said "You know I hate Khloe." In same breath. Soooooooo what's edited? Those are the things that SHOULD be edited...OUT! But nope they're there.
And now another update 01/24 turns out in the last couple of episodes Kris has been awful. He springs his sister's visit on her LAST MINUTE then expects her to make time to see her when she explained "Listen the reason why I have time for others is it's planned WELL in advance." He freaks out on her when she goes to a medium to communicate with her dead father ON THE DAY OF HIS DEATH, and he even makes fun of her to a papparazzi. It's TOUGH having to defend him. Really. And now his PR firm dumps him. I just wanna hug him and not let him speak or do anything but play ball haha I will meet him when I get famous. And when I do we're having a LONG heart to heart.

the one where I'm down but not out
So although I'm discouraged by my book sales I'm not done. I refuse to have gotten this far and be done dammit LOL
I've sold 4 since August and have the marketing campaign on Grindr proved VERY unsuccessful. But I refuse to give up. I'm considering entering a contest for Amazon Novel Awards just for the publicity. Of course there's no guarantee I'll even make it to the finals but hey its a chance I wanna take. I got nothing to lose.
Just wish I had more of a marketing edge to me. I want this book out and circulating already. GRR!

the one about my serious work crushes
So I am most definitely going to hell. There's no question in my mind about this fact. I currently have three crushes (one serious one).
One is a coworker in my department who's not physically perfect but his personality is amazing. He's got a live-in girlfriend and is like 23. But love the personality so much.
Second is on a friend of mine. He's physically gorgeous. Nicest guy in the world. And knows I have a crush and could careless. He also has a live-in girlfriend (pattern?). His personality can totally make anyone fall for him though. Seriously. And the kicker is he's shorter than what I normally like. But if you met him I describe him as "husband material." He just looks like someone's husband.
Third and serious one is my boss. Speaking of someone's husband I have a crush on my married boss. At first I thought he was this cocky person but the more we interacted he would be my bestie if he wasn't my boss. He's literally a frat boy too. He's a few years younger but our rapport is insane. People near me have commented they think there's a crush on BOTH sides (mine and his) and what's worse is Sunday night I was excited to see him on Monday morning. UGH! I need to get over this. I cannot be a home and dog wrecker (he and his wife have two dogs no chillrens yet). I'm going to hell for this crush. It's wrong dot com but I cannot help it. He's literally my exact type.
Calgon take me away.

the one about Elton John vs. Madonna
Is anyone else shocked by this one-sided feud?
Elton John was knighted by the queen of England and now all he does is trash Madonna to the press. He reminds me of a kid in middle school who gets pissed when he doesn't win the spelling bee and his opponent does. Isn't of congratulating he throws a tantrum and gets his friends involved which in this case is his no talent husband. I'm actually shocked not only by the behavior if a Sir but on the wake of bullying Elton Is no more than a wealthy Perez Hilton.
I'm sure Madge loves the press and could careless but as a former fan of Elton's I'm disgusted by his immature behavior. You wanna hate her privately fine but you and your husband are the very definitions of bitter old queens. What sucks is you don't need to be. Each time you attack Madonna she never ever responds back. It makes me love her more than I already do.
Spartacus: Blood and Sand
Then the second episode kicked in and it got me hooked. The show is SO MUCH more than blood and nudity. It's about social climbing. Political intrigue. Revenge. Brotherhood. But above all love.
It's not the type of show you have a favorite character either. Mostly because they will end up dead haha but there are characters you root for. I'll be honest Spartacus annoyed me. Without giving anything away whenever he gets into a fight it's like watching Spiderman battle "lose lose lose then win." I want to see someone that overcomes odds, walks into a fight, and miraculously kicks arse. I don't wanna see this humanistic crap of losing at first then winning. UGH boring!
The one thing I do love about Spartacus is whenever he does the right thing (the thing you as the audience wants him to do) there are legitimate consequences he must face. That I love. There's nothing more I loathe than a character NOT doing what I wish they would do. He does and then has to pay for it.
Two men I have GIANT crushes on for different reasons are Varro and Claudius.
Of course the late Andy Whitfield is beautiful as well, but these two men caught my attention right away. Moreso than Andy. But lemme tell you as an actor Andy deserved an Emmy. He was soooooooooo awesome in this role. He WAS Spartacus (or whatever his name is hehe inside joke).
If you liked Gladiator, Rome, or 300 definitely check this show. Sit through the pilot. It'll be kinda tough cuz it's a bad pilot, but the rest of the show is amazing. Not one episode isn't awesome :)
I'm moving onto the prequel Spartacus: Gods of the Arena where it tells of the first Champion of Capua. So addicted to this series hehe the new season starts january 27.
Contraband
There are so many twists and turns although you know a Hollywood ending will occur it's getting there that's great. Will it win an Oscar? No. Any awards? Probably not. But that's not really the point. It's a fun, edge-of-your-seat action movie that would've been amazing in the summer.
Lately with the prices of movies going up I tend to stick to big blockbuster movies to movie theater outings and limit dramas to my DVR or Netflix account. This is a big January blockbuster. I love the "summer movie in off summer month" it's almost like going to Disney in the off season :)
Highly recommend. You will enjoy it.
No Stings Attached
Unfortunately I can't look at Natalie without thinking of BLACK SWAN and Ashton without thinking of how he had unprotected sex with a girl on his 6 years on wedding anniversary to Demi Moore (his paramour reported it was unprotected I wasn't there FYI).
What's even worse is Ashton has never looked more yummy. One scene he's naked but a washcloth (not a towel) over his naughty parts. And when he stood up to leave his extra yummy butt was visible. His character made him loveable too. Quite a contrast from his offstage persona and the long haired mess on TWO AND A HALF MEN!
In any event it was a decent movie. I wouldn't say good. I mean you know how it's gonna end and what's gonna happen but overall decent.
the one about getting back into the swing of things
So the weirdest thing has occured. Now that I'm back in a call center job taking phone calls all day...I'm writing more. Even right now I'm writing in between phone calls.
Not sure what about my job gets me so inspired but I wrote this movie that pretty much is the biggest love story I've ever written. It's based on a soap love story. But even before that I finished another movie. In total since December I've written 4 movies.
And these are short films. I think my niche will be short films. I don't want to write a movie that's 90-120 pages of stretched dribble when I can write a film with 40 pages of meaty story. Only problem is short films are hard to sell to theaters. Why would you pay $30 for you and a date to go to a 40 minute movie?! GRRRR!!!!
Anyways I am going to forge ahead with my plans :) I love writing these short films and hey maybe I can get a script doctor to extend it in places I can't see?!

the one about time traveling
So there is a guy that I met back in 2008 and the minute I met him I was crushing hardcore. Unlike my other crushes this guy was 100% what I was looking for. Gay, single, and gorgeous. 5-11 muscular and masculine. AND super nice. For awhile I convinced myself if I waited he'd be single and we'd date. I waited, and when he was single he chose someone else. I was pretty heartbroken. We didn't even become close as friends (I have this thing that if I become friends with my crush I get over my crush instantly).
Fast forward to last night said crush contacts me. Mind you we haven't talked since I moved back home in June nor really prior to that. He tells me he's single and looking to hang out. You'd think my crush would come back right? WRONG! What I felt was anger. I lit into him about ditching me as a friend. I had one friend before whom ditched me for his bf then when they broke up wanted to hang out again. He vowed he'd never do that again but it took awhile for me to trust that. And I felt said former crush and I had the same thing going on.
Around him my guard is WAY up. What I know will happen is now that I'm closer to him (about two miles away) we will hang out as friends more, he'll get a new boyfriend OR go back to the ex, and I'll be ditched again OR subjected to hanging out with him and his new/old bf. I'm not jealous I just hate that feeling of being an afterthought or a second choice. He wants to hang out this Saturday so I agreed, but he wants to do the typical gay crap of clubs, bars, etc. I said NOPE! Dinner and a movie is all he gets. Anything else he needs to find other people to do that with.
It's odd that at this point in my life I can survive off hanging just with myself or Jamie's family. I haven't really made an effort to hang out with anyone else. Not for any other reason than...well I dunno. Maybe I should in 2012. I mean my friend Megan is one of my best friends on the planet since 1985 and I haven't seen her in a good 10 years. I should.

WarHorse
So this is by far my favorite movie of 2011. OH MY GOD! Spielberg did it again.
I did not think this would be good a story about a boy and his horse. If you really wanna nitpick it's very E.T. No love story. Struggle to keep a boy with his pet. Others not approving of the friendship. Actually the more I type the more it's VERY E.T.
And lemme tell you you cry just as much. This movie is so touching I heard grown men crying in the theater. I shed a tear, but didn't full on cry. And you SEE Spielberg's direction.
If you don't know the difference between a screenwriter and a director the screenwriter writes the action, words, and situation. The director shows what it looks like. There is one scene with a windmill. When you see it come back and comment it was CHILLING and perfect. You'll know what I mean when you see it. That made me tear up. And the ending OY!
Anyways please see it. You will thoroughly enjoy it.
the one about Kris Humphries
So when I first saw Kris Humphries on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" I was like "tall, cute, and dumb sounding PERFECT for new crush material." Then he started to interact with the rest of the Jenner/Kardashian clan. Hi lil Mason. Can you say douchebag?!
The more the seasons got on the more I disliked him. It escalated when he was on "Kourtney & Kim Take New York" I FUMED when he kept pestering Jonathan about being gay. HOW DARE HE! I was fuming. Then he did something I didn't expect: gave Jonathan a heartfelt apology.
When Kourtney messes up she laughs while apologizing. Kim STALKS people till they forgive her. Kris invited Jonathan over, sat next to him, looked him dead in the eyes, and apologized. I was like WHOA!
But to be fair the minute he said "You know if you are gay I don't care. Call me gay all you wan't I'm not gonna get offended. Here give me a hug." I was like WHAT THE F*CK?! How is this guy I loathe NOT homophobic? Then I realized I think he might not be as bad as I think.
I actually did some research on him. So he's got two sisters. His dad's black and mom's white. He also is VERY talented. Do you realize in swimming when he was 10 he was second in the nation in 6 events to Mike Phelps? And he holds the record for 50M and 100M freestyle for 10 and under. He only gave up swimming to pursue basketball where he's set all kinds of records in the four years he was in high school in Minnesota. He even set career highs while at the New Jersey Nets. This guy is TALENTED! It showed me how determined he is. And that he is driven. Those are qualities I admire in anyone.
I believe 100% none of what's played is edited. I think he really is that douchey BUT I don't think he's a bad person. Why isn't there a show where someone like me sits him down and says "Kris you're a good person deep down I know. Listen here are the things that are awesome about you. And here are some things I think you need to work on. I'm not trying to be judgmental but you are coming off very abrasive to others in both our lives. If I was being the same way I would hope you'd sit me down and talk to me about it too."
But no one has. It's like they are setting him up for failure. I would NEVER let my friend go on this long as a douche. NOR would I my husband. I'm not laying blame on Kim. But when a child does something bad at school whom is the first person BESIDES the child we blame? The parent! Because they parent allowed this behavior to continue and spin out of control. As much as Kris needs to talk responsibility for what he does Kim is to blame for not standing up to him.
It'll be tought but I'm gonna try and like him. I think he probably just got in over his head with Kim and the show. BTW I had a clever tweet the other day:
"I think I wanna have hate sex with Kris Humphries"
Come on that's funny! Anyways I hope he learns from this entire experience.

But no one has. It's like they are setting him up for failure. I would NEVER let my friend go on this long as a douche. NOR would I my husband. I'm not laying blame on Kim. But when a child does something bad at school whom is the first person BESIDES the child we blame? The parent! Because they parent allowed this behavior to continue and spin out of control. As much as Kris needs to talk responsibility for what he does Kim is to blame for not standing up to him.
It'll be tought but I'm gonna try and like him. I think he probably just got in over his head with Kim and the show. BTW I had a clever tweet the other day:
"I think I wanna have hate sex with Kris Humphries"
Come on that's funny! Anyways I hope he learns from this entire experience.
