Emotional Breakdown = Development Deal

Originally posted: September 21, 2007

Congrats to "Chris Crocker"! He got a development deal with 44 Blue Productions for a reality show based in his hometown.

Who's "Chris Crocker", you ask? Why are you writing his name in quotes?

"Chris Crocker" is better known to the world as the LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE person. His name is in quotes because it's not his real name. He won't reveal his real name due to possible threats.

Seems as though, "Chris" has been posting vids on youtube for a while now, but only gained worldwide attention bemoaning the treatment of Britney Spears, whom he feels is a true role model. "I always say Britney's been my mom ... Britney's been there for me when my parents haven't," he said "Chris" has been raised by his grandparents since his teenage parents couldn't.

OK, here's my problem. I happen to know alot of people that are very talented. Actors, musicians, writers, directors, artists, etc... They've been out there daily for years honing their craft, diligently pursuing their passion. Some have had some success; some, not so much.

To me, it's a real shame that this is how people get deals. Don't work for it. Don't struggle for it. Don't study, practice or create. Just bitch about meaningless shit as loud as you can until someone with a contract and a cranial vacancy runs after you salivating to cash in on your "personality" (note: that's Personality, not Bersonality, which is still available for weddings, parties, Bar Mitzvahs, improv shows).

Honestly, I have nothing against "Chris Crocker". Really. Live as you want to live. Mentally collapse as you want to mentally collapse (for all the world to see). Fine by me. Good luck with all of your success. It would just be nice to see that for every now-world-famous "Chris Crocker", there was a now-world-famous Cynic the Infotainer, Bill Chott, Eric Hoffman or Alyson Weeces, to name only a small few of the one's I've worked with, seen, heard and/or read that work, struggle and really create things that are original, smart and make people use their brains.

Also, check out my new reality show, "Bersonality's Bitchy Blog Banter", appearing this fall on the Fucked Ruse Network, right between "I-LOVE-THE-TASTE-OF-GOP-COCK and Colmes" and "Dennis Miller, We Hardly Knew Ye".

MY Awards for the Oscars

Ok , here's how this goes: I'm giving either a Pat on the Back for something I liked or a Flick of the Ear (using my middle finger) to something I didn't like... A Pat on the Back goes to... Jon Stewart, for doing a good job as host, with a clever monologue, funny intros (Tom Hanks won twice and now has no right to be here) and my favorite montage of all time, the Oscar Tribute to Binoculars and Periscopes . A Flick of the Ear goes to... Jon Stewart, for including the Barack Hussein Obama material in his monologue. Coulter , Limbaugh, Hannity and every other right-wing douchebag emphasizes Obama's middle name. I understand it was a set up for a joke but the right-wing pundits are jokes themselves, so I saw no need to pile on (Although, " Gaydolph Titler " cracked me up). A Pat on the Back goes to... Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova for their performance and winning the Academy Award for the song, "Falling Slowly" from ...

Saturday, July 12 2008 - My night went a little something like this:

* before you get into the post below, just know that I've been up for hours working on it and for some reason, there were problems with almost every video I tried to embed. Some I could change to a link, some wouldn't. I will try editing later, but for now, here's what I have: First, I pick up my wonderful girlfriend, Jenny and we head over to the Pauley Pavillion at UCLA . We got to see VH1 Rock Honors The WHO . We arrived around 7:30 for an 8pm show. We found our seats (which were up high, but it's a smaller venue and I couldn't really shell out $300/ticket) and soon after, the announcement came over the P.A.: "Ladies and Gentlemen, please take your seats. The show will begin in 3 minutes. Sure enough, three minutes later, The video montage starts up on the monitors. Quick shots of a myriad of Who fans describing why The Who is the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World . Dave Navarro, Slash , Joan Jett , Cameron Crowe , Harry Shearer , Billy Bob T...

Thoughts (and a few pictures) on the Anti-War March in Los Angeles, 3.15.08

So, a group of about 12 of us took a stroll down Hollywood Blvd. on Saturday to protest the war. We started at Scott and Paul's place for some pre-march activities, then walked down to the Metro. Got off at Hollywood/Vine - where the march started - and showed our support for getting the USA out of this ridiculous quagmire of a catastrophe douchebags call the War on Terror (which, as we all know, is stupid because you can't declare a war on a strategy). It was quite a turn out. We walked west on Hollywood, took a left on Schraeder, then another left on Sunset. Ended up in front of the CNN building on Sunset/Cahuenga. There was a stage set up for several speakers, including Mike (B.J. Hunnicut) Farrell and Ron (Born on the Fourth of July) Kovic. It was difficult to hear the speakers as we were not really close enough to the stage, but I think I got the gist of what was being said. Stuff I already know but have no problem hearing again. This war is a strain on the count...
