writing/ Gender Genie/ Daniel Tosh

June 8 Writing: Today I posted my resume on Alberta Weekly Newspapers Association. www.awna.com

Drive: I called this one driving school and she said that I had to have my learner's permit for at least a year before I take the road test. That will be next month. I asked my sister about the driving school she went to and she got mad at me because I was only doing something because she was doing it. S was taking a refresher course.

I wasn't copying her. When I got that learner's, I kept calling this one guy Patton for driving lessons. My mom told me to call him. He kept saying he's busy in Oct., and in Nov., and in Dec. I've been calling this guy for months. Then it wasn't until this month my dad told me to go to another driving school.

Look there's nothing on TV tonight. There are 3 people reading my script right now and I'm waiting if anyone's interested. Now I can focus on other stuff like driving.

June 9 Gender Genie: I was on twop.com reading about Law and Order: SVU and there was this website called Gender Genie. Go to this site. Submit a piece that's fiction, non- fiction or blog entry. I submitted a blog entry and it said I was a guy. I told my sister and she said she got a guy too. lol.

I then submitted a non- fiction piece. It's the one where I emailed the Criminal Minds actor Matthew Gray Gubler. I wrote about it, and it was part of my portfolio to try to get into the Professional Writing program. I also got a guy too for that entry. Type "True Story" into my blog www.badcb.blogspot.com and you can read it.

I then submitted my short story called "TJ's Story." That's another piece for my Professional Writing portfolio. You can also type that into my blog and read it. I got a female for that. What's weird, is that the fictional story I was writing through a guy's point of view. Then they read my blog entry which is true, and my true story, and they say I'm a guy. Ironic, because I'm writing as myself. I'm not trying to be someone else.

I then submitted my career investigation that I tried to get into NAIT's TV program. Though I got rejected. I also got a male for it. I just put that investigation on my blog. It's a good piece of writing. I checked out Microsoft Word, and it said that piece of writing was created back in May 21, 2005.

Why did I keep this for a long time? Well I guess I still wanted to be in NAIT's TV program. Well I still graduated out of the Professional Writing program with a diploma, and that's what matters. Also this was saved on a 3.5 floppy disk that I got from the early 90s. It will eventually stop working. Putting it up on my blog will be my insurance that it won't be deleted.

Daniel Tosh: Daniel Tosh is a comedian. I saw him years ago. I don't know, like 2003? Well then I saw him on Jay Leno in 2004. I know it's that year because he was making fun of Newlyweds, back when Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey were still married. I went on imdb.com and saw that he was on Jay Leno 5 times.

The joke I remember back in 2003, he was ranting about how he was annoyed about those award shows. The winners are always saying: "Wow, I can't believe I won." Well of course you were going to win, you got an aisle seat. I also remembered him saying about how he was a kid he wanted to grow up to be a fire truck. lol. That's because he watched a lot of Transformers.

Last Saturday I saw that he was going to be on Comedy Network so I watched him. He was funny. Today his new show debuted called Tosh.O. It's where he shows video clips off the internet and makes these jokes about it. Here's an example:

D: We all want second chances.
Cut to a pic of Bristol Palin and her boyfriend Levi.
D: Like wear a condom.
Cut to a pic of Rihanna.
D: Or duck.
The audience says: "Ohhhhh."
D: Or stop dating sleaze bags.

Then D goes and talks to the Afro Ninja. He is a black guy and a professional stunt man. He made a video where he does a back flip and doesn't land it, and falls. The second chance is that he does a back flip, and he lands it on Tosh.O. What was really cool was then, D goes and runs to him, the guy lifts D on his hand, D then does a back flip and lands it.

At the last bit:

D: I'm going to leave you with this. The Royal Bank of Scotland has a website called "nig.com." I'm sure someone at the bank said: "The Royal Bank of Scotland.com is already taken, what should we call ourselves?" "How about nig.com?" Well I have a friend who's Scottish, and he isn't offended by it all.

lol. You think he's going to say that he has a black friend who isn't offended by it, but then he goes and says his friend's Scottish.

On imdb.com, D is 34 years old, and was born in Germany.June 10

Good: Good news. The writer Conni Massing read my new script that I have hit writer's block on, and she wants to talk to me about it.

Funny: I was talking to my friend Ray about my weekly emails. The one where I tell Sherry's friend who's very dyslexic, and she couldn't get a job because she couldn't read: "She should be a stripper. You don't have to read, and you can make a lot of money. You're probably laughing."

Ray then said that she did laugh at it when she read it. lol.

Ray: I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse.
Me: "I'm so hungry, I could eat at Arby's."
Ray laughs.
Me: That's from The Simpsons. It's the episode where the kids were stranded on the island. They were making fun of Lord of the Flies. One of the twin girls say: "I'm so hungry, I could eat at Arby's." All the kids then say: "Woah, you must be really hungry."

Dating analysis: I was thinking about how when a production company rejects my script pitch or script after reading it, I'm okay with it. I'm then out there and emailing more production companies trying to get it produced. I'm not afraid of that rejection.

As for online dating, I did some work on my profile. I put up more info about myself by copying and pasting from my Facebook profile onto it. My main pic is then changed to a close up of me. I sent an email to a guy. The thing is, in each email I do kind of say the same thing, but I do tailor it to that person. This reminds me of an old convo with my friend Angela. She was talking about resumes, and how she tailors her resume to each place she applies to.

The Listener: I saw the 3rd ep of this show today. You can watch full- length eps on www.ctv.ca. I just realized something. The bad guy always dies unless in later episodes they switch it up. In the first ep, the bad guy is about to attack the good guys, and he falls over the cliff. The 2nd ep, the bad guy commits suicide. In the 3rd ep, the cop shoots the bad guy because he's coming at her with an ax.

What's good, is that Toby's paramedic partner, he now learns the secret that he can read minds. Now that's going to add something to the show. I do find that there is good writing on the show, with the plot twists. In this ep, you think it's the homeless guy Taz who kidnapped and is holding a girl. Then it's later revealed that it's the guy who owns the storage building, he's the bad guy.

Taz is a phonic. He can't speak, so that's why he can't go to the police. He's also schizophernic.

Blog: I was on myspace.com, and put up all those emails from celebs I had kept. For example, Sarai Howard emailed me back. She's this white female rapper, but she sounds black. I have her cd that she released back in 2003. I also have an email from Ashley Niven from the girl group PYT. I have the cd from 2003.

I also have Cythinia Lissette. She does background vocals to Jennifer Lopez songs. I also got an email back from the actor Miko Hughes. He was in the movie Mercury Rising as a kid.
