What is Love

Hello All,

I hope that you had a sweet and awesome week! The weekend is upon us (take a moment to be thankful!) I had a phenomenal week! I can’t even lie. Might be one of the best weeks…ever! So today’s blog title is brought to you by, Haddaway, from one of my favorite movies ever…Night at The Roxbury! (P.S. one time Mario and I NAILED the car dance scene hand gestures…perfectly…it was AWESOME) So with that, I will jump right to it.

Erika’s 10 Things I Think I Think –

1. Alan “Fat Jesus” Garner is now officially in my top 5 FAVORITE movie Characters…Ever. If you’ve seen the movie…you know why. If you haven’t…well you are missing out on it. My Wolfpack used to consist of one member, but since last Friday…it has grown by one. So were two…so there was two of us in the pack. I…I was alone first in the pack, and then Alan joined in later.
2. The other day in the office, I was about as emotional as I had been. The lady across the aisle kept looking at me as if my cubicle was going to flood. I couldn’t control the crying as I thought about my little brother. There’s always a spot in my Wolfpack for you bro….
3. Cupid…you and I have a fight that’s going to ensue. You see, we had a deal and you broke it. I am going to climb Mt. Olympus and we are going to throw fists…or throw back a couple of shots. Or both.
4. Man San Francisco is still nearly 3 weeks away but I am anxious to get there. The agenda looks…amazing. I am brushing up on my NKOTB so I am not the only person there that doesn’t know the words.
5. I am too competitive. No, really I am. You see I guess competitive can also be translated into sore loser. I hate to lose…at anything. Jordan knows this. JJ knows this. You beat me with a gun, I come back a tank. I swear, if half of my moments were caught on camera…wow.
6. I am in a dilemma. Last week I said I was going to sue (which the entertainment lawyer has read my script and seen the movie) and I would win. Hands down. No questions asked. However…and there is always…ALWAYS a catch, if I decide to move forward, the lawsuit would be against the producers, the writers, and the organization of writers. Now the only problem with that…is I will be essentially blackballed from the union…which precludes me from ever winning my ultimate goal…An Oscar. So do I suck it up take the money and run…or do I let this one slide and move onto the next project. I am leaning toward option B really….money isn’t everything to me, hell it really isn’t anything to me. Can’t miss what I don’t have, but I will miss that Oscar if I never even have a shot.
7. I have this thing for giving freeway beggars money. Can’t help it. They are sitting there with these signs and I always (if I have cash) give it to them. It is a habit...
8. Fruit…is so damn good. This week I have had the best peach, nectarine, apple, and half a watermelon.
9. I have the best set of friends in the world. That is an indisputable fact. I am gracious to have a diversely awesome group of friends. They never cease to amaze me and I appreciate the things that they say and do.
10. My friend C.S. Alexander is an inspirational quote machine…yesterday’s Nugget: ...Some people say the only get one chance, I'm saying I only NEED one chance.. Amazing…

Rachael Real Moment – So here’s the skinny. I will break down some details of my dating life, but not all of them yet. First off, contrary to popular belief…I am not in love…yet. I have had the most amazing whirlwind of weeks. No joke. It’s like Cupid, the Hamburglar, the Riddler, and God all had a hand in this. As Keri Hilson said “This ain’t supposed to happen to me.” I was the cynic, the doubter, the one who pushed others away when they got close…and now…I am caught in this gigantic fish trap of emotions.

But I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t everything I’ve ever wanted…and then some. I guess it happens when you least expect it, and when it’s supposed to happen. I’ve never had someone dominate my thoughts like her (we shall call her Ms. V for now). The conversations, the feelings, the emotions. Food doesn’t taste the same, songs take on a completely different meaning, I have this constant nervousness/excitement all the time now. I can’t concentrate long enough to write a complete sentence, and that sucks because I have so much writing to get done! When I am not with her, I want to be. When I am with her, no one else in the world matters (o.k. Jordan does). I can’t stop talking about her (even though some have threatened to beat me senseless if I don’t).



About a month ago before this ever happened…I told my friend JJ that if she ever showed an ounce of interest in me, I would dump anybody I was seeing, and everybody in a 5 mile radius of my apartment. Well I am officially the most hated person in the 85044 as I dumped EVERYBODY. Men, Women, children…didn’t matter.


I don’t know where it’s going or how we are going to get there, but I am enjoying every moment of this. If this is what love is, then I can truly say that I have missed out on that in my lifetime. I’ve had two serious relationships and never experienced anything like this…So there, you have it. You understand why the HUGEST skeptic of the Notebook has changed his mind. (P.S. for those that do know, how about you NOT put the name out there)

Pete Thought of The Day – 8. That’s the total of scripts I am writing. That’s a lot. But each day I get about 5-6 pages script done. It takes a lot of focus and concentration to do it. But I am committed to it. I am almost 30 and my goal has always been to quit my job by the time I turn 30. I am really close to that. Several of my script ideas have garnered some attention and I very close to securing my first agency contract. It’s just a matter of buckling down and finishing.

Mindy Moment –You’ve been down in the dumps lately and I wish you would cheer up, but I know life has a way of kicking people in the teeth. But know that I love you, and I only hope the best for you and I am here for you. I am excited to see you in a few weeks…Love ya.

Julie Happy Thought of the Day – That is a phenomenal idea Julie! We should totally learn the dance…however…I will ONLY do it if we have Hammer Pants. No joke.

Because after all…You can’t touch this.

I am going on EBAY to see if I can’t grab a pair.

Misty Movie Reviews –

Southland Tales – I saw THE worst movie last night. I think currently it is fighting Battlefield Earth, Kung Pow Enter the Fist, and The Assassination of Jesse James for the top spot. I have never been as bored as I was watching this. I mean you want a cure for insomnia? Pop this sum bitch in. Holy crap. It was the weirdest movie ever. I fell asleep and each time I woke up it was more and more bizarre. It sucks because the preview of the movie looked amazing. I hate when movies do that, they suck you in with the preview and then they suck. I am glad it was only 3 bucks. So I give it the first ½ star this year. Yes not even a full star. Do not waste your time unless you want to get a good night’s sleep or take a nap. Maybe I need to watch it again, because the comments on the link above, people say it’s amazing. I found it to be rather…dull.

JJ song of the week – Well, sorry all, but I am going with Superhuman by Chris Brown ft Keri Hilson. It’s always been a great song (sucker for the piano) but it’s just the mood I am in.

Best…week…ever. I hope this feeling...never ends.

Heather Joke of the Day – Really bad Day

There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.

Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."

"I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

Jordan Quote of the week – It’s not a quote from Jordan but it is a wonderful quote (Thanks Misty).

Coming Attractions –

Today – In the office. As you can tell, I haven’t accomplished a damn thing other than blogging. I am going to “pretend” to work until about 12:30, at which time I will get up, give my desk the middle finger and exit with a giddy like bounce. Tonight…writing and spending time with Ms. V.
Saturday – Nothing all day really. I don’t have plans. At night, going out. Meeting the all important girlfriends. I can’t lie…I am nervous.
Sunday – Flag football meeting. Picking up Jordan and I am going to take him fishing or something like that.
Monday – At home. Fun stuff. Lots to get done. Dr’s appointment to determine if I need another surgery or if I am done…
Tuesday – In the office. Hopefully blogging.

The end – of the blog is here. I hope that each of you had a wonderful week and that THIS weekend will be spectacular. I appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to read my randomly dumb thoughts. Thank you for that. Have a great weekend, thanks for reading, I love you…God bless you.
