A f ew Good Men
My current production, A Few Good Men, plays at City Lights Theater Company in San Jose until June 15th. If you've seen me in anything else, you will be shocked at the difference in this role. It's my first truly serious dramatic role in a very long time and I am proud not only of my work in this but in the production as a whole. I really hope anyone who CAN come see it will. Besides, I SHAVED MY HEAD!!!!!!!! THAT's gotta be worth the price of admission alone! | | Tuesday, May 27th, 2008 | | 3:07 am |

without a doubt the busiest I've ever been in my life!
just a short entry to pass on to all that I am in fact still alive and still in the midst of rehearsing for two shows while performing in one, running 50% of a booming set construction business, and in the final stages of construction at the new house. My days right now begin at 7am and end about 2 am with about sixteen minutes a day to breath and check to see if the light at the end of the tunnel is or is not really a train. For those of you who live locally, Shakespeare abridged closes this weekend on Saturday night at Busbarn stage company (sorry for such short notice but those 16 minutes a day rarely involve anything but seeing if the kids still remember what their dad looks like) My heart felt apologies to my closest friends that have heard not a whisper from me this past few months. I have sworn not to do anymore shows until the house passes final inspection, so after "A Few Good Men" closes at City Lights in June I will return to the land of the living. love to all!

So, I'm blogging on LJ about a post on Tribe, refering to FB.........
http:// You can read it HERE f you have the yawn time to sit through it. Personally, I lost most of my political rhetoric speech tolerance during the pre-election campaign. The main meat of the blog posted on Tribe abut Facebook, is that Facebook creators are horrible Neo-cons who are taking over the world and anyone on Facebook is a sucker being used unwittingly by BIG Corporate America with highly specific Advertisement marketing. My short response after dragging my eyeballs over too-many-paragraphs about those evil baby-seal-clubbing bastards in Palo Alto boils down to: duh. Wait....you mean......information I post on the internet is...... .assessable to OTHER PEOPLE!!!!!!. OH JESUS CHRIST!!!
Wait.....my MOM reads my blog......I can't say J"ESUS CHRIST!!!!!" in a swearing sort of way.......She might.....SEE IT. SO as I was saying....GOLLY! people on the internet are reading what I type!!!!!! Gee Whiz! if I'd known that I never would have said all those things in my profile about who I am and what I think.....I didn't want people to KNOW ALL THAT!!! I thought I was typing my dirty little secrets into a stainless steel vault that would protect my thoughts from the world. And it gets worse......PEOPLE are making MONEY by paying attention to what I voluntarily say on the INTERNET!!!!!! the horror of it all. what's next? Safeway shopping cards that identify and track what kind of cat litter Stubby likes to Crap in? Movie's with tits and violence specifically aimed at highschool boys that have a huge surplus of expendable income and the free time to spend it? by God people, it's called marketing and it's been happening since Satan thought of the right way to sell an apple to the woman who had everything but an apple. if you want your personal information to remain private, don't live on the internet. Don't pay with anything but Cash. Oh, and by the way, don't have a legal job, identification, social security number, medical plan, and or education. I really enjoy Facebook. I get to play RISK online with people from around the world and just last night I had a really deep conversation with someone about the concepts of personal relationships while I was decimating east Asia. and I was doing it for FREE! so now those "horrible Neo-cons" know how I feel about marriage, the raising of children, and how many armies I THOUGHT it would take to plunder the middle-east, but we all already know that about our president so why should I be frightened? I'm a little flattered really that my opinion now carries more weight than it did ten years ago. I have more effect on the changing market of the world than someone "living off the grid" (whom, by the way, has been labeled and tracked in a computer file titled "People Who Think They Live Off The Grid, and What Kind Of Toothpaste They Like" I try to limit how many people I "send invitations" to join silly little add on apps, and I am personally offended by the ones that try to force you to forward their adverts before getting the results to your "which Disney Princess Are YOU?" quiz. But it's very simple. I don't know which one I am. because when I reached a decision that I did not want to include more information than I was comfortable giving......I quit the application. Freedom of Choice. Imagine that. I have accounts on just about every social engine out there, and will continue to add them. I want to be found, seen and heard. I am an actor. Google me and on any given Sunday I take up two or three pages of entries. Even if I did not want to make my living being watched, I would feel the same way. I'm neither proud, nor ashamed of what is out there on the net about me. The web is an electronic reflection of the personal world around us. I am what I am, and if a corporation, or an individual in Australia is pleased or upset by what I am, I am happy to discuss it with them, but I see no need to hide myself from the world. | | Monday, February 4th, 2008 | | 11:22 pm |
to have troubles like these............
spent the busiest weekend in awhile driving form one acting oriented event to another. Between Friday night and Monday night: three auditions three rehearsals for two different shows One performance and a partridge in a pear tree. I was trying to straighten out my calander for the next six months and the end result was I have no idea what DAY IT IS much less what the hell I'll be doing during the Chicago Ball for Peers. When it was expressed that I would be hard to replace should I have to put my career first, I simple offered to sell my soul to the highest bidder. :) Can't discuss the outcome of the auditions yet, but there's good news and bad news and the end result is that I'm gonna be busy for quiet awhile. Now if I could find a way to make a living doing this.... | | Friday, February 1st, 2008 | | 1:01 am |

While trying to steal music on the internet today.........
Soup saysI found the above article while hunting for a copy of Apotheosis' techno remix of O Furtuna. I need some background music for the latest high speed set construction video by Thrust and it seemed a good possible canidate. I always go to itunes first, then emusic second. after that....sadly, my refusal to fillout even more paperwork or wait for the mail makes option three to googlehunt for the free stuff. Of course within two minutes I had a version of what I wanted on the computer but alas there are about eight different mixs so I am still hunting for the "right one" I REALLY wish there were a system by which each artist could simply post their music for download on there own personal website, and then you could simply paypal to download. (I know, it likely is excatly that easy and already set up in many artists cases but I want MY ARTISTS to do it. | | 8:14 am |

Fathers Day (or S and BJ Day)
I woke up this morning to the best of surprises. the door burst in and my four most favorite people on the planet dove into the bed with me. Well, okay, three of them dove into the bed, the fourth one was balancing a plate of breakfast in one hand and a steaming cup of coffee in the other. I got the usual kid made breakfast. more identifiable than some in the past have been, and with Mom's help, nothing happened that could risk hospitalization for the makers or the eater. Scrambled eggs with a side order of peanut butter sandwich. yum. The hand print of my three year old next to a poem about growing big was cute and lovely. The hand written cards from the boys lots of fun to read and appreciate. But nothing tops the cup of coffee that my wife made all by herself! Allow me to explain. You see, in this house, there is only one way that coffee will happen. If I make it. That's it. No other way. It doesn't matter if she's up an hour before me and can't think straight without her first cup of caffeine. She would sooner resort to drinking a warm Pepsi from the garage than actually take the little scooper and dump one scoop per two cups of water, pour the water in the top thingy.....and push the only button on the machine. It doesn't phase her in the least that as as college degree educated woman of the new century, she can master any task laid before her. No, this is not a question of knowledge or ability. It is a personal choice to stand firm in her refusal to make coffee. "you make great coffee". she says with a sweet smile and a hug. "But I don't do anything special to it" I reply with that confused look that guys get when they feel like they are about to miss some very important fact or statement that will land them on the couch for a week. (surely this has to be some kind of set up....like the time I fell for the "do these pants make me look fat " question) "But it's better when it's made by you" she replied firmly and with the confidence and love of a mother patting her child on the head. Well......I guess if I don't have to sleep on the couch, then it must be the right answer......?? Okay, the issue was settled. We continued on to more important challenges of the day like, which of us has to wash the screaming three year old's hair. (note, the couch reference applied here as well. But I digress..... This mornings cup of coffee was hot, caffeinated, and tasted for all the world like the coffee I make. With the exception of one added flavor that cannot be found at your local Starbucks. The flavor of love. Yummiest coffee in the world. It was a very very happy fathers day indeed. | | 8:54 pm |
