Wow…hadn’t realized it’s been nearly 2 months since I emptied my brain of thoughts…wow. 60 plus days of no blog. No wonder I got so many hateful comments!!! Today’s blog title is brought to you by Adele. A wonderful song that pretty much sums up life, love, and relationships.
So with that, I am going to get right to it…so here goes….
C.S’ 10 Things I Think I Think –
1. Wow...I guess I wasn’t playing. Last blog I said it would be my last for 6-8 weeks, I guess I was serious about that!!
2. Finished writing and casting out all of my Short Films. There are a total of 3
- Thought Bubble – I have two people a boy and a girl that I will corrupt with my evil/vile thoughts. As some of my friends described it…I am going to hell…plain and simple. I start shooting this one in the next week and a half.
- Sports and Relationships – This one is based on the notion of Relationships operating like Sports Contracts. Just wait…pretty interesting
- Choose your own Adventure – Might be one of my favorites. Yes it’s based off of the books that some of us read as children.
3. Decided to write and shoot a Television Pilot for a contest that is coming up in January. I would say…if you like The Office or any of those other shows that are mockumentary style, you will really really like this one. I am casting this now and doing rewrites on the script.
4. J-J-J-Jordan turned 6 a month ago. He lost a tooth and he is getting bigger and bigger! I mean where does the time go…I am getting old...

5. Man the last time I wrote a blog, I was with my girlfriend for 2 months…now we’ve been together for 4 months and still having the time of my life. Love her to death!
6. Playing on 2 flag football teams. My Saturday team is organized dysfunction. We are 0-4 and we have only scored 1 touchdown in those 4 games. Although it is more physical than any other flag league, we just can’t play offense. My Monday team…love it! We are 2-1, barely lost the one game, played like champions in our 2 other games and hopefully we keep moving along…and having FUN!
7. Parents purchased a house to “Snow Bird” and they just got here yesterday. House is ginormous. They are about 20 miles away and in some ways after all that has happened this last year, it’s good to have them here.

8. My baby…my script about my little brother…is done. It is in the re-writes stages and even those are minor. It is truly, truly original and although it is funny, and adventurous…it has a turn at the end that I do not believe anyone will see coming. It starts the rounds of Agents/Agencies on Nov 1st. I am truly excited about it! Mainly because I haven't written anything this good or this personal...ever.
9. Still wondering about my job….I am not a fan of it. Don’t like it, don’t like some of my co-workers…I want to scream the minute I enter the building. If all goes to plan…and I pray to God that it does…in exactly 4 months from October 10th, I will walk into my boss’ office, look her in her face and say “I quit, You suck as a manager.” That…is not a joke.
10. I know that I have cherished most of my friendships and I try to be a good friend, but some of my so called “friends” are people that only call you when they need something. And if you cave in and give into their demands, well they go back into hibernation and only pop out when they need something. Those people…are not your friends. They are users…of course I had to learn that the hard way. Time to purge those people out of my life and be more selective of whom I select to be my friends.

Michael Real Moment – Just excited about life. No joke. The next couple of months are exciting. Between football games, hanging more with my family, filming shorts and other things, I have my hands full. Plus going to be moving, which in itself is exciting! Plus…if all goes to plan, which I pray to God that it does, I will be able to complete #9 above…and maybe add some other stuff to it…mainly her desk. Going to Six Flags next weekend…and probably going to drink like a fish that night. Going to do a little bit of traveling at the end of year and need to start planning that. Father /Son/Grandson trip to D.C. to see the Redskins vs Cowboys. Plus…hanging out with real authentic friends and spending time with my girlfriend, will make the rest of this year a smashing success...in spite of all of the other things that have happened....
Eugene Sports thought of the Day – two Words. Ryan Jones...aka...Trashcan. We play on the same flag football team on Saturday’s and Monday’s. Last Monday…he had the funniest/awesome touchdown run I have ever seen. The opposing team was so confused as to who had the ball that he virtually ran into the endzone untouched. Simply amazing. Eugene earlier this week channeled his inner Peyton Manning (minus the mobility and cannon like arm) and tossed 6 td passes in two games….Note, he has 10 TD’s in two games and no Interceptions. Amazing.
Rob Z Thought of The Day – As I stated on one of my Facebook Statuses recently…I wish people would live up to what they say. Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words. I can not stand the people that say they will do things and then do not follow through. They make excuses after excuses and then they still DO NOT follow through. Of course…me not caring anymore, I call people out and hold them accountable for the things they say they are going to do. So…if you do not want to be called out, don’t say you are going to do something and then don’t follow through.
Rick Moment – Epic…fail…as in epic…fall. Yesterday while helping my parents move…I epic failed. Badly. I mean…I was carrying boxes off of the u-haul….missed the ramp and fell over…completely sprawled out on the concrete. I thought I broke my body (note: I didn’t say any one part of my body, I meant…my entire body). Thankfully no one is ever around to witness said events, and furthers my theory that I should ALWAYS have a camera crew around to catch my little moments of Ratardness.
Nag’s Happy Thought of the Day – Mothaf’ing FRIDAY! Best day of the week! I mean admit it…today you will clock watch, “pretend to work,” pray that the clock speeds up, might leave a few minutes early, have that “I am glad the week is over” drink. Hell…before you get to that point, I will have the drink*…RIGHT NOW for you!
*Note: Tequila and I have been places and although it remembers those nights vividly...I normally do not.
Tracy Tad Bit O’Knowledge – Here’s some knowledge for you….When the HELL did automakers decide to STOP putting blinkers on cars? I didn’t know that was an added cost that they try to sell you at the end. Oh wait…is my information wrong? That is not correct? Oh they come standard on every vehicle since 1950? Oh it’s just that so many people decide to NOT use them anymore. To the asswipes that do not use their blinkers, I hate you. Put your damn phone down, lift that chubby left hand of yours and push the little lever UP OR DOWN. It’s not rocket science people.
Chad/Nathan Douchebag of the week – This week’s douchebags belongs to Cougars. Yes you Cougars. You know who you are. I do not appreciate the following:
- Pointing at me
- Ass Grabbing
- Hitting on me…you are as old as my parents
I do not roll that way and by that way, I mean roll with you. Do not ask for my number, do not try to follow me, do not try to hold a conversation* I will run knowing you are a little too old to follow.
*Note: said conversation can only be about what type of medication is best for achy joints.
That is all.* Cougars you have been warned. I am in a committed relationship of which I enjoy immensely.
*Note 2: This hasn’t happened in about 2 months, but still has happened.

Mexican Lion
This is the true story of a Garage Owner in the Southwest. ( New Mexico ) He was sick and tired of thugs breaking into his garage shop to steal tools, etc. So he came up with this idea. He put the word out that he had a new Mexican Lion that would attack anyone that would break in or climb his fence. Would-be thieves saw the "Lion" from a distance and fled the scene.
None today, won’t put any links up...next blog maybe
So Jordan saw a man run a red light a few days ago…and after seeing it he said:
Jordan: That man should be arrested
Me: Cops won’t arrest him for running a red light
Jordan: True…can’t arrest stupid.
Freaking Love that kid…
I had to use that word today in my argument about the “Mexican” version of Vanilla Ice or El Vainilla Helados.
