Ahhhhh yes
Shot the pilot, waiting to hear if its gonna get picked up, TRUtv looks like the main players...
Looks like i might get a recurring gig at the Icehouse, nation's oldest comedy club
MET SOMEBODY!! She's great, we get along wonderfully, and she's not an actress. Of course she lives 6 hours away...but baby steps.
Things is good, but never done

Well then, everything neato and technological just went kaput in the past couple days. So it goes. Currently dealing with the jazz, ah the blue jazz. It comes and goes. It's probably a result of working on The Shape Of Things which is good for a figurative kick in the face. Great read, shitty after feelings. Long story short, guy meets girl, they date, his life changes dramatically for "the better" and after he proposes he comes to find that her art project she's been working on all along was him, transforming him, his body, his face (quite literally a nose job) suggesting he leaves his friends, sextapes, all up on display for a crowd of people in a gallery. Scene I've been working on takes place right after said display. And somehow I'm not feeling like a bundle of rainbows right now!!!!!!
Regardless, I made to the finals of a comedy contest where if I win I open for Tim Allen, which is nothing short of awesome. Auditions still come, and I still retreat to my ever lonely carpet square at the end of the nights. Things are going well, yet this glum feeling remains. Ugh, it's been absurd lately and my own general introspection is not good in times like these where I just have to keep plowing forward, even if only for a little bit. I don't even know what I necessarily love about any of this.
Other than the fact that I'd rather be doing nothing else.
Okay almost nothing
8/7

Well as far as the Compendium (and google+ etc) go, don't forget it's the internet, where anything is possible!!
We don't chat much, which I'm sure you're losing all sorts of sleep over. You're a ketchup fan, after all. I certainly find you to be intelligent and driven for more, interesting, entertaining, fully aware of who you are and aren't, but not all that personable, which again I'm sure will make you cry out to the night sky, "NOOOO WHYYYY!?!?!?!" It also makes your genuine personable moments that much more endearing (to me at least). It also makes your more haughty moments that much worse, which in my opinion stem from lack of empathy or patience or tolerance or whatever that particular case may be. Which you've pointed out already.
Basically, in my broad and fairly quick assumption, you already know the answer to your own question.
You said it yourself, you're not the best at "diplomatic relations" and your general intolerance for stupidity (more importantly, what you deem as stupidity/intolerable etc) can make your interactions that much more difficult. You gave people a reason to be angry/pissed/what have you. How to deal with that? Investigate that "why" instead of writing it off as stupid, incorrect or not useful. And if it has been investigated, and still things do not click with that person or you simply have no desire to deal with them in any capacity, then so be it. You said it - you don't need to be everyone's friend. People gotta want to listen or be lead. Can't force it. Which you know. Just investigate. Gotta get in their dirt, too.
Really it's a flaw (flaw in the sense of mapping out and spreading your philosophy to those who want to listen) that you acknowledge and basically said will likely not change. Yea, you can be a Good Josh if need be, but it's not ever going to be permanent. Hope my mookage wasn't too prevalent.
And don't say that you could say something, say it, and then say you wouldn't. Boo to that.

CREEPINESS
I spent last night in a few comedy clubs/bars trying to hammer out a joke about when I saw Gordon Ramsay bust out a blowtorch for a dessert. (For the record, I thought it was absurd.)

Saj - All the best. I hope that you figure it out and be well. Ummm....ice cream? Everybody likes ice cream.
RW - Sounds like you gotta bring something up, whether it be another professor (Science/Physics hopefully), a Dean, somebody. The fact that multiple people are getting upset means there is a problem. It is not acceptable. Might not get you much, but it's something. It's no different from a professor teaching French that can't speak French well. At least in MY book that's how it goes. And my book is a coloring book...wait what?
Everybody Else - One person flash mob.

Exhausted. Crazy day, multiple auditions, first of which was for Shameless. It was on the Warner Bros lot which for me was a treat. Was absolutely the lost asshole for a good 90 seconds, and contemplated wandering in through the "artists' entrance" door for Ellen DeGeneres talk show, but opted out. Hilarious mix of people but a small group (yikes!), and the sides we read from contained some awfully foul shit. In a funny way though. Went well enough, so let's see.

« on: August 17, 2011, 10:58:01 pm »My friend and I just visited a Goodwill store, and together we bought 15 VHS videos, all for 50% off. In total, less than $10. Movie marathon tonight?
With DVDs and now BlueRays taking the spotlight, sometimes finding old classics on VHS is just perfect.
I REFUSE to give up my Eddie Murphy: RAW on VHS, as well as my Godzilla v. Mothra: Battle For Earth.
Never mind I can't play them on anything right now...
