saying/ The Listener/ crazy news

May 9 Saying: I was thinking about this old saying I got when watching an Nysnc interview. The boy band was at Muchmusic back in 2001.

Chris: It's not about the money, it's about the idea of it.

I'm going to admit that I made almost $15, 000 this year. I could think of it as in there are millions and billions of people who don't have any money whatsoever like people in Africa. On in 2007, I read an article in Russia where a family lives off $500 a month. In Canada, that's not possible.

Yeah, and the fact that the most I ever made in a year was like $7000 in 2005 where I was working part time for 9 months. I certainly made more money than in 2007. It was the summer where I had the worst luck in getting a job.

Call Centre #3 gave me training for one day, and decided to not hire me because it would take too much time to train me, and they went with someone else. Then I ended up working part- time at Treats. It was nice sitting around a lot, and talking to manager Aziz, and watching TV there. I didn't get paid a lot like $8/hr for 20hrs a week. At least I got a lot of free food.

I'm getting this flashback of Joe Millionaire. This guy Aaron was a construction worker who made $19,000/ yr. He did pose in swimsuits to make money. Anyway, at the finale he told the woman that he wasn't a millionaire, and they were together for awhile, but it ended. They also each got $500,000 each so that's good. The woman also didn't make a lot of money either.

Actually Aaron did make an appearance on the comedy show She Spies where the girls have to find a criminal at this speed dating event. Of course, Aaron was one of the guys there, who later gets shot in the ep. A also made an appearance in The Simpsons. He was in a play called "Joe Millionaire and a Cherry Orchard."

A then tells a woman: "I don't have a cherry orchard."

The Listener: It's so exciting. Today I was watching Flash Gordon, and there was this commercial for the new TV show The Listener. It stars Craig Olejnik. I've been writing about this show since I first heard it in June 2008. I was just going through my blog and reading about it. Then I joined The Listener group on Facebook in Jan 2009.

The commercial came on, and I squealed with excitement. The show will be on Space Channel coming on Thurs. June 4. I went and wrote it down on a big piece of paper. I'm so happy.

Tyra: I'm also going to admit I was watching Tyra Banks on Youtube. I think I was looking up about teen pregnancy because that's why I watch the show. However, it lead me to watching the ep called "Gay for Pay" where straight guys do gay porn. The ep wasn't trashy and in a way, it did qualify for the other reason I watch this show: prostitution. It was an interesting ep.

I did feel kind of sorry for this one guy. He got a job at Subway and told the manager about what he did. They were cool with it, and hired him. Later customers said that if he's working there, I'm not eating there. Then they fired him. Well as long as he's wearing gloves when making sandwiches, I'm cool with it.

Shopping: Did you know that the store Where It's Art also closed down? It used to be in one location, and then it moved to another location, and now it's gone. There's also a clothing store called ZZ Style that opened up where the Calendar Club was. Why open new stores in the recession? Maybe because there is really low rent for the stores?

Analyze: I then got a flashback of reading a YM magazine back in 2001. There's this artist who makes $15,000/ yr. In brackets it said: "She lives very cheaply." Maybe she has a roommate to live with and share the rent. I don't know.

May 10: I was watching an ep of Lie to Me and Sean Patrick Thomas's character appears and was talking to Loker: "You can get a job anywhere. If Torres gets fired, she's going back to the airport getting paid $12/hr and dealing with bad people all day." $12/hr sounds good to me. Their idea of it is low.

Job: Well Shirley only worked one day, and she quit because she got a new job where she actually uses her education. I then used the time to sit, write, read, and think of my writing. A good thing about this job is that when they give me money to buy food at Shoppers Drug Mart for the restaurant, they let me put the points on my Shoppers Optimum card. If I get enough points, I can redeem it for $5, $10, or $25, etc.

Funny: Today I was watching The Mentalist, and my dad came by. There is a scene where Patrick pretends to read a kid's mind.

P: You're thinking: "I hope he can't read my mind and know that I was the one who vandalized the house by throwing paint at it." If you didn't want me to read your mind, you shouldn't have been thinking that.

My dad laughed at that. lol.

May 11 Music: Today I saw the video called "Day N Nite" by Kid Cudi. This is the slower and original version. I like the fast version to it so I can dance to it. The video has some cool animation thrown into with live action.

Crazy news: Today I read about a female rookie officer shooting a guy because he was reaching for her male cop partner's gun. There is this weird coincidence because I saw on Jay Leno last week, they showed this video of the same thing happening. The video was scary at first, but kind of funny:

This woman cop was going to arrest a bad guy. He reaches for her gun and takes it. Then a man walks by and manages to take the gun right out of his hand. The cop is then trying to hold the guy down, while the man is pointing the gun at him. Then a overweight woman comes along and sits on him.

Jay: Yeah, he totally felt the weight of the law on him!
lol.

I just saw a promo for The Listener that will be on CTV also on June 4.

Dating: I read an article about lies on the first date. "On a first date, this girl blurted out that she gets bored easily and never keeps a guy around long. She should've stamped player on her forehead." - Terence

"I had only known a girl for a few days when she hit me with 'I need you to meet my parents, because if my dad doesn't like you, we're done.'" - Omar

lol. It seems like her parents run her life, well at least her dating life. I'm trying to please my parents with finding a good job.

"I went on a blind date with a woman who knew my brother, and the first thing she said was 'Your brother is so fine... You guys look nothing alike.'" - Don

That was my favorite. lol. It was like she was dissing him unless she added, "But you're also good looking too."

May 12 Nate Richert: For some reason, I thought about this old celebrity crush Nate Richert. He played Harvey on Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I looked him up on imdb.com and it looks like he hasn't gotten any work since 2004. That's a long time. It also says he's married, but it's unknown for how long.

Movie: Last night I borrowed Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer. I saw the first movie in the theatres and liked it. This one I found to be average like 3/5 stars. It's funny and cool to watch, but it seemed pretty light. This movie is 92 min. long and it's PG. I find X-Men to be a little darker, because it's PG- 13.

I was surprised that Laurence Fishbourne is the voice of the Silver Surfer.
