actors & hookers

You know what I was thinking about last night? I was thinking about how actors & prostitutes are pretty much the same.

I mean, they both do & say as they are told. There is someone there to “direct” their actions. The prettier ones make a lil more moolah. They both get paid just for showing up & doing/saying what they’re told.

Then I started thinking about Will Smith. I think I was thinking about all this b/c I saw some commercial for that new movie of his before I went to bed. I wasn’t watching tv, but you know how if the tv’s on, it’s in the corner of your eye?

So, then I was thinking how Big Willie started out mostly in music, & is now mainly acting. And his wife was mostly acting before, & now she’s mainly singing (she’s always on tour w/ her band whenever I hear about her). Funny, huh? (ironic-funny, not haha-funny).

UPDATE: After I wrote this, I remembered when I was in school. I went into my undergrad to study architecture & sociology. I recalled that in my 2nd year of studio, we were told that architects are like whores, b/c you have to ‘put out’ whatever the client wants. Only a very select few will ever get to design what they truly want. I eventually switched outta arch, & just finished w/ a major in Sociology, which I love.

my gay Christmas

So, I put a smile on some truck driver’s face this morn. Wanna know how? I was rockin out in my car to my gay Christmas music. Last night, I went through my cds & found what I was looking for. My fave Christmas mix that I made a few years back.

So, I was totally rockin out in my car. Dancin in my seat, boppin my head, shakin all around, & singin my own harmonies when their was just music & no words. This is ‘how I do’ when I’m by myself.

But it makes me happy. And I know this pickup truck driver was one of the construction ppl who’s having a hard time getting the project they’re working on done, b/c they keep getting bothered by ppl who know nothing (that reminds me of Schultzie from Hogan’s Heroes “I know NUTT-THING!”). Sorry, I’m just completely cracking myself up this morn. Anyway, what I meant to say is that the pick-up truck driver-dude saw me boppin around, & I know he thought I was silly, but at least for an instant he wasn’t all worried about his day. And that’s kinda cool.

Ok, so back to my Gay Christmas music. Now, don’t get all ‘huffy-puffy-whaddya-mean-gay-music’. I’m not sayin it in a bad way at all. There’s diff types of music. Let’s all face it. Esp w/ Christmas. There’s the breathy Christmas music (ie, ‘Santa Baby’, & any Christmas song done by Christina Aguilera). There’s the sentimental stuff (ie, Nat King Cole or Bing Crosby).

And then there’s what I was listening to this morn. Christmas music written by George Michael. Actually, it was 2-fold gay, cause not only is it George Michael music (which I love, love, LOVE; btw); but it’s also a version of his song that’s sung by 2 gay-homosexuals. Yes, I know it’s redundant to say gay-homosexual, but that’s just how I roll.

It’s the little things I do that crack myself up. I do tend to amuse myself. Like, one of my fave things to do is to mix up numbers & letters when I’m making lists. I’ll start off w/ the 1, 2, 3, then put down ‘d’. It cracks me up! I know, it’s silly, but I’m just a corny person who loves corny stuff. I also love Bob Newhart & his old funny records.

me & my pops talking about balance in nature

I’m starting a new segment on this blog. It’s gonna be called “Real Conversations in my Life”. I’m gonna post real, raw things that are said in my life. I’m gonna start off w/ something my dad & I talked about tonight. Um, I call my dad “pappa”.

Pappa: “In life, everyone should have a diff nature. Everyone has different specialties.”

me: “Like oncologists, for cancer, right? And other doctors for other stuff.”

Pappa: “This is the balance of life, the balance of nature. You need balance in life.”…”Look at your mom & me: I make the money & she spends it. We balance each other well.”

the Am. public doesn’t stand for anything

Everyone, I mean everyone has been talking about how wrong Mel Gibson was. I didn’t think that anyone would go out to see his movie.

And everyone’s been concerned about blood diamonds. We’ve all seen the video. We’ve heard Kanye’s song, & the remix w/ Jay-Z.

Plus, isn’t Leo ‘posed to be like the Golden Child (or Golden Boi, or whatever it’s called)? AND, there was that amazing story about how he defended Djimon Hounsou when someone threatened his life.

After all that, I just can’t even believe that ppl went out & paid close to $10 a pop to support Mel’s movie, instead of going to watch Blood Diamond. I heard that most of Mel’s movie was filled w/ tons of violence just for action & crap. And in Blood Diamond, they actually didn’t even show the severity of the conflict & how bad it was, b/c they didn’t want ppl to think they were blowing it up or hyping it up. They actually didn’t show how bad the violence actually was (& is) out there in the diamond trade.

I just have to say, I’m disappointed in the American public this weekend.
