It surprises you to find out that some of the opinions you had up to this point might not be as set in stone as you previously thought. It isn't your intention to get into a political, religious or otherwise controversial conversation, but for some reason, you seem to draw people to you who are interested in doing that very thing. The strange thing is, once you take some time to digest their point of view, you find yourself agreeing with it despite the fact that it's the opposite of how you used to feel. You may not change your mind wholeheartedly, but there is definitely room for compromise.
The "stars" really don't know me at all, do they?

Playground Treated To Hot Pug-On-Pug Action
PROVIDENCE, RI—Children playing on the swingsets at Waldo Street Tot Lot were treated to a raw, uncensored display of hot pug-on-pug action, sources reported Tuesday. "First the one doggy got behind the other doggy," said Andy Haupert, 6. "Then the first doggy tried to get on top of the other doggy while the other doggy tried to run away. It was really funny." The canine copulation has been the most talked-about animal-related playground incident since June, when a pigeon crapped all the way down the slide.
Bacon Good For You, Reports Best Scientist Ever
ROCHESTER, MN—Bacon, long believed to contribute to heart disease and obesity, possesses significant health benefits, according to a study released Monday by Dr. Albert Gruber, the best scientist ever. "My research has found that three strips of crispy, mouthwatering bacon every morning can actually reduce cholesterol and help slow the aging process," the awesome Gruber said. "What's more, the bacon's positive effects are enhanced when combined with milk shakes and/or marijuana." In 1997, Gruber, a Mayo Clinic cardiologist, was awarded nine Nobel Prizes in Medicine for discovering that frequent oral sex with models cures cancer.
Rookie Trucker Always On CB To Mother
LUBBOCK, TX—Two weeks into his new job driving an 18-wheeler for the Harper Red Line, trucker Billy Ray Coogan, 23, still talks frequently with his mother on his CB radio. "Breaker 1-9, Mother Hen, this here's Red Rooster, come on," said an obviously nervous Coogan. "Are you sand-bagging, Mother Hen? 'Cause the boss man's got me hauling a dead-head to Abilene, and I'm a little nervous. I...I could really use some company, 10-4." Coogan went on to say that if his mother would just say the word, he'd do a flip-flop and put the hammer down to be back home in the short-short, in time for dinner.

Small Life to Big Screen :: Update
I'm thinking of changing the casting of my best friend Stephanie from Jennifer Connelly to this girl. The reason, I have just come to find out that she likes the smell of skunk. Any questions? Good.
I ripped this from a friend's blog... if you've already seen this, sorry, but I think it's worth repeating.
Pondering...
When you're with someone, they seem to always be on the phone or getting calls or making calls. But when you try to call them, you can't get a hold of them. Why is that?
Another of life's confusing mysteries.

4. Keanu Reeves is the closet in appearance to my friend Josh Paugh. And he's softer spoken much like many of Reeves characters.
5. Friend, Brian Stocks would be played by Vin Disel. They're both bad-a$$es and Brian kinda looked like Vin when his head was shaved.

Lighting Design Project - Summer 2004
I just got a call from the Artistic Director from Jenny Wiley Theatre. He called to ask about my interest for the up-coming summer season. He wanted to know if I was interested in Designing one of the shows. Of course I said, Yes. Unlike my designs in the past, this one will be the first that I'm actually paid specifically for. I'll be getting a designer's fee on top of my pay that I get for being the Master Electrician. Very exciting times! Very exciting!
The summer is too far away.

Lighting Design Project I
We had a production meeting today for Other People's Money, a play being produced by Studio Players in Lexington. I feel like such a professional. This is actually going to be my first full design that's completely mine. I've designed lights previously at Jenny Wiley Theatre for Children's Productions and a talent show. My first design that I'm really proud of came this past summer when I was given the opportunity to design for a cabaret-style show called, "Hooray for Hollywood: An Evening of Song in Film". The number that brought down the house was the most fun to light... a song from the musical, "CHICAGO" ... the Cell Block Tango. JWT even put it as a publicity shot on their website. But for the cabaret, I used someone else's light plot and worked with that. For Studio Players... it's all mine!
I'm really excited, but my only question is how do I express that without sounding like I'm bragging or too proud? I don't think anyone else will be as excited as me, and a lot of people don't quite "get it" I guess. Maybe someone will and will pat me on the back a bit.

Small Life to Big Screen - Take 2
3. Roomate Brian Ink would be played by Jim Carey. Two reasons... one: some of the faces Brian makes could only be accurately re-inacted by Jim Carey, and two: I think Jim could play just about anybody at any given time.
Small Life to Big Screen - Take 1
Okay, so I'm going to jump on the band wagon and try to cast my life as a movie. Here goes:
1. Ron Howard would play yours-truly, I get the most comments that I look like him, especially when I need a haircut and start wearing my hat all the time. Of course, he'd have to get a hair-piece. And that guy he's talking to would play "that one guy I talked to that one time".
2. My best friend, Stephanie would be played by one of the most beautiful and classy actresses that I've seen, Jennifer Connelly.
Hey, I even found one with us together. Okay, so it would have to be a slightly younger Ron Howard.
I'm stumped, any ideas for someone to play me?

"The Onion" News In Brief
Hasbro Pledges Additional 30 Marbles For Hippo-Hunger Relief
PAWTUCKET, RI - With global famine worsening, Hasbro pledged an additional 30 white marbles Monday to hippo-hunger relief efforts. "To see those starving, starving hippos just lying there, not knowing if they will ever get another chance to click and clack for life-giving marbles ”it's too much for anyone to bear," Hasbro spokeswoman Lisa Reiderer said. "We cannot stand idly by while these sweet plastic creatures slowly die. It is up to all of us to get the most marbles for our hippos."
Couple Always Like This
QUINCY, MA - Longtime couple Scott Pfaff and Lisa Baumgartner have pretty much always been like this, sources close to the pair revealed Monday. "This is definitely no news-flash," said mutual friend Stacie Pritkin, who recently hosted a party during which the pair was at it as usual. "You hang out with those two, you learn to expect that sort of stuff." Said Pfaff's friend Mark Dohn: "I was at the mall with them once when they started getting like that - right in Radio Shack."
United States Toughens Image With Umlauts
WASHINGTON, DC - In a move designed to make the United States seem more "bad-assed and scary in a quasi-heavy-metal manner," Congress passed a bill Monday changing the nation's name to the United States of America. "Much like Motley Crue and Motorhead, the United States is not to be messed with," said Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK). An upcoming redesign of the American flag will feature the new name in burnished silver wrought in a jagged, gothic font and bolted to a black background. A new national anthem is also in the works, to be written by composer Glenn Danzig and tentatively titled "Howl Of The She-Demon."
(this one's not quite the same without the umlauts.. check it out here.)

Arby's must be running out of ideas. I guess there's really only so much you can do with Roast Beef.
