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".

Weekly Road Trip, Volume 1

Every Tuesday, I drive down to Los Angeles from Ventura. More specifically, I head to Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood to host Trivia (9pm. Come check it out sometime!). After, I usually head to my good friend's home (that would be Pete & Cate) and enjoy a few hours hanging out with some of my very great, gracious and generous friends. The trip is 60 miles, each way. That gives me about 2 hours each Tuesday to listen to whatever music I have on my ipod. I have an 8GB so I tend to rotate music off and on it frequently. Recently, as suggested by my love, Emily, I listened to the entire ipod, alphabetized by song. That guaranteed I actually hear each song at least once. I highly recommend doing this. The only rules are: 1. No skipping any tracks 2. No repeating any tracks. It took me a few months to get through my ipod, from A to $64,000 (the last song was the theme song to the $64,000 Question). Since then, I have swapped out a lot of songs for new music. ...

Just a thought...

Today, I listen to Bush chastize North Korea for Nuclear (not 'nuke-u-ler', genius) testing. Now, I am in no way a proponent of N. Korea having and/or testing nukes, but am I the only one that finds it odd that Trey Parker and Matt Stone felt Kim Jong Il was more important when they made the movie over 2 years ago than Geroge W. Bush & Co. yesterday?

A sample of Donald Trump’s inaugural speech (NSFW):

“We are gonna have an awesome country once again. When I get through with it, you won’t believe how great it will be. I’m gonna tell China to go fuck itself, and if they don’t like it, let ‘em try to collect on the debt we owe them. I will negotiate such a deal with China that they will want to give America the reacharound it deserves. As your president, I will make sure that Congress passes only the bills I want them to pass. If they try any of that attaching their bills to other ones, I am gonna grab them by the nuts and squeeze until they scream “UNCLE”! They have no idea what they are up against. I am gonna sign so many executive actions, it’ll make their heads spin. Then I am going to sue all the haters and losers that thought I couldn’t win. We’ll take all of that money and use it to fund all of my research on how to be a president and how to do presidential stuff. Believe me…BELIEVE ME, it’s gonna be a phenomenal eight years. Yeah, I said eight, because my first executive actio...
