Mar. 14 Jokes: I was watching Jay Leno a couple of weeks ago.
JL; Police recently found a meth lab in the basement of a daycare centre. Good luck trying to the kids to take a nap!
lol. However, meth labs are really dangerous. They can blow up.
JL had Ross the Intern do some interviews. During an interview:
Ross: I'm 22.
Guy: When did you graduate out of high school?
Ross: 19- damn it!
lol. That's how you test their age by asking when they graduated out of high school and what year they were born in.
Headlines: The Edmonton Journal used to have this page on Sunday Reader where they have some funny or weird news. Here's some that I will send to Jay Leno.
22 yr old homeless guy Larry Sanderson from York, PA gets mugged. When the mugger found out he was homeless, he said: "I respect that" and gave his stuff back. That's good.
Tim and Mary Katherine Gann said a server gave their boy Blair's Mega Death Sauce and encouraged him to eat it with his chili. The kid broke out in hives and had trouble breathing and experience severe pain. In Tennessee's Cleveland Daily Banner, the parents are suing for $60,000.
Stupid criminals:
In Saanich, BC, a 76 yr old man went to the police asking about an accident investigation he was involved in. He smelled of alcohol and failed the breathalyzer test. The next day a woman came in asking about an investigation and smelled of alcohol and failed the test. The spokescop Dean Jantzen says that if you're coming to headquarters, make sure you haven't been drinking.
In Conneticut in the New Haven Register, this guy robbed 3 condos. Then he put them in his car that later got stolen. He then got arrested.
In Redwood City, California in the Contra Costa Times, this 19 yr old guy asked two cops for a ride. They asked him if he had anything illegal on him. He said: "Yes...no." He was then searched and cocaine was found.
In the Vancouver Province, this old senior couple was mugged. The husband Otto Haas who's 90 yrs old chased down the mugger and got the purse back. The police came within 3 min. and arrested the mugger.
Mar. 15 Scary and funny: I was watching Pretty Little Liars with my sister. The character Spencer gets trapped into this closet space inside this Fun House at a carnival. The door opens.
Cut to a close up of bad guy Ian holding up a crowbar and he looks like was going to hurt Spencer with it.
My sister gasps.
My heart jumped.
But Ian saved Spencer because that crowbar was what locked her in.
It was so scary, but I had a good laugh. It also kind of reminded me of The Simpsons where Homer was wearing a hockey mask and revving up his chainsaw.
Homer: Hey Bart, do you want to check out my new chainsaw and hockey mask?
I like watching scary movies, because I like to get scared and get a rush out of it. It's fun. I don't like riding roller coasters though. I went on the big roller coaster at West Ed mall once and it wasn't fun at all. I was too scared to enjoy it.
Mar. 14 Office job search: Today is my day off and I'm looking for an office job. This gym contacted me and it's in downtown so it's easy to get to. However, I told them I wanted to work on the weekends at the restaurant. After some discussion, we thought the job wasn't a fit. Then I went to look at the job ad again, and the shifts were from 2pm-10pm.
That's not a very good hours for me to waiting for the bus that late at night. But at the same time it was like an office job. But there were no benefits. They said I had to work one weekend a month. I guess I could have worked my restaurant schedule around the gym.
Though I feel like I let a good opportunity pass up. But then I feel like I wouldn't last that long in that office job. After being unemployed for 8 months, it has really shaken up my confidence in getting a job.
Priorities:
1. Get a job- I already have a job.
2. Get an office job- I look for an office job from my 5 sources everyday. On my days off I go to other job sites. I also read some job search articles in the 24 newspaper today.
3. Get my Fighter script produced- I emailed a producer today and he said he will be in Alberta in June. For now I have to prepare my pitch package.
4. Write my Rain script- I wrote some scenes, but not anything that I would type up.
Mar. 16 Teen pregnancy: I was on twop.com and someone said this: "I went to a Catholic HS and I can't tell you how many people all of a sudden became pro-choice when they got pregnant. Before that, they were totally opposed to ending a pregnancy, no matter what, and had nothing but awful things to say about girls who got pregnant."
Yeah, it's about karma. The thing is, I know that you may imagine that you would have an abortion if you got pregnant, but you never know what you would really do if you were in that actual situation.
I finally finished reading all the comments on the episode with Felicia. She was this Latino girl. She did graduate out of high school. She named her baby girl Genesis which I thought was a weird name, but you can nickname her Gen which is normal. Her boyfriend Alex was a jerk like most teen dads on this show are. He spent $80 on shoes and no money on the baby.
I missed the first 20 min. of the show, but I was filled in by all the twop.com comments. People were dissing Alex because he's most likely out cheating on Felicia, he's selfish and immature. They said F should dump A. There was a discussion about how F's two older sisters got pregnant young and F is the only 1 out of 5 kids who finished high school.
People were saying: "Is it really that hard to graduate out of high school?" For some people yes. It also depends on the classes. I would have easily graduated out of high school if I went into all the low classes like Math 24 and Science 24. I wanted to go to college so I had to take some above the low classes like Applied Math. Then I had to upgrade after I graduated out of high school to do grade level Pure Math.
Person 2 on twop: "Guys use love to get sex, girls use sex to get love."
I thought that was interesting, though I don't want to generalize entire genders, but it does seem true.
Japan: I was reading the "Venting" section in the Edmonton Journal. Someone pointed out that after the Japan earthquake, there was no looting like Hurricane Katrina. I didn't notice that. I told my little brother and he said: "That's because Japan is so polite." I would say if a catastrophe hit Canada, we wouldn't be as good as Japan, but we'll be a step above the US.
Well we Canadians are nice, but we're not perfect.

friends/ Boston Public/ dating
Mar. 12 Friends: Yesterday I chatted with my friend Jessica on the phone for 15 min. We talked a bit about the Japan earthquake. I asked if she found the 9-11 jokes funny. She said she was indifferent about it. Then I asked about the joke on Summer Heights High about the guy Jonah who falsely accused his dad of touching him so he can get out of English class. Jessica didn't like the joke at all.
Then I called my friend Angela and asked about the Summer Heights High joke. She said back in gr. 3, this kid falsely accused his teacher of hitting him. He was late coming home from school because he wanted to play in the playground. He didn't want to admit it was his fault for staying late, so he blamed his teacher. Though everything was straightened out.
A did say she likes my emails more because it was more interesting. She said she liked to read my opinions and not other people's opinions about things like my 16&P and Dateline.
Boston Public: I'm getting another flashback of the TV show Boston Public about high school teachers. So this girl reads a poem in English class and it's about her dad molesting her. The teacher thinks the poem is about her because she's crying and reading it with emotion. When the teacher asks about it, the girl said it was just a poem.
The teacher calls the parents and the girl to talk about it. The teacher talks to another teacher if she should accuse the father of touching his daughter.
Teacher: What if I'm wrong?
Teacher 2: What if you're right?
Then Teacher is talking to the girl and she gives her this video tape. She had left this video recorder on in her bedroom and her dad had come into her room. She hasn't seen the tape so she gives it to the teacher to watch. My memory got kind of fuzzy here and I think he did molest her.
Mar. 13 Hot actors: I have writer's block. A way to fight it is to imagine a hot guy and write him in a role.
Keegan Allen: My sister and I both like the name Keegan. He's an actor on the TV show Pretty Little Liars. He plays the mysterious boy Toby who is blamed for the accident that made his step sister Jenna blind, though he didn't do it. A couple weeks ago, I saw him with his shirt off in an episode and he's got great abs. My sister agrees. lol. Here's a pic of him:
http://www.listal.com/viewimage/1327307
James Edward Campbell: A couple of months ago I saw a promo for Degrassi: The Next Generation and I see James Edward Campbell. I squealed with excitement. He was standing in the rain with this serious, tortured hero look. I imagined that scene was when his character Fitz first shows up at Claire's door and he will tell her he has feelings for her.
I then wrote 3 pages which was like Degrassi fan fiction. But then I went and will change the character's names and make it into my own script. My predictions somewhat came true.
On Degrassi's ep "Jesus, Etc", Eli was giving Claire a driving lesson. C pulls up and Fitz gets right in front of the car.
Me: What?
C: Fitz?
E: What?
I laughed because E said what I said out loud.
F: I need to talk to you guys.
C drives away really fast because F was the one who pulled out a knife on them the last time they were together.
I thought there was good continuity in that F was wearing the same style of clothes of a long sleeve shirt and a down vest over it. F now works at the local hangout The Dot and tells C that he found God in juvenile hall and asks C for forgiveness. Part 2 of the ep is F showing up at C's door in the rain. I was right he would be at C's place, but I was wrong in thinking it will the first time he shows up.
C lets F inside and F takes off his hoodie and shows his bruises on his stomach. He said he fell off his bike. He asks to watch TV and for something to eat until the rain stops. C lets him watch TV and eat. C presses him for the truth and F says his stepbrother beated him up because he was on drugs. F was trying to get him to stop taking drugs.
F's parents don't care about him. F admits he has feelings for C (I was right about that one.) Eli comes in. That's kind of what happened in my script. Father Greg picks F from C's place.
Here's a pic of James Edward Campbell:

Dating: I was talking with Angela and I told her this: You know that time I was having an IM chat with the guy who asked me: "Have you ever had sex before? Have you ever done it?" He actually contacted me recently on the dating site. He told me to put new pictures up because mine are old. None of my pictures are sexy at all.
I don't know why he contacted me. The last time we had contact with each other was 2 yrs ago. He rejected me by blocking me on the site. Then a couple weeks later he adds me on Yahoo messenger. When I asked if he wanted to meet up, he said no and how he accidentally put me on Yahoo messenger. He said he will take my name off it. So he rejected me twice. I'm going to delete his email now.
Money: Then I told Angela about how I contacted my ex- boyfriend who I broke up with 2 yrs ago. I contacted him a couple of months ago so I could get my money back. We hadn't spoken in 2 yrs and the phone conversation ended up exactly the same with us talking in circles. I wanted to get my money back, but only if he is financially stable and can afford it. If he has to pay off his credit card, he should pay that first. Then he was talking about how he doesn't want to hear from me anymore and that if he pays me back, I can never contact him again.
We talked about this for 40min. We both said we felt stressed out talking to each other. That's why I broke up with him. He was causing me stress and always asking for money. We dated for a year and then he moved away. We had a long distance relationship for a yr and a half. I also haven't seen him in that yr and a half. He didn't have any money to come and see me and I am too afraid to travel alone to see him.
What's the point of having a boyfriend whom you never see? So I managed to get about 55% of that money back. My friend Angela was all like: "Good." That 40 min on the phone was stressful, but I did get some good things out of it like: My money, a reminder why my ex- boyfriend and I aren't good together when we talk, and he told me he had deleted my email address a long time ago, how he doesn't want any contact from me.
He also told me he wasn't in Edmonton for the past 2 yrs, so if I kept dating him, I would never see him. The past two years I was on an online dating site and went on dates with 6 guys. It was all first dates and didn't go anywhere. I asked a guy out and I got rejected.
Priorities: Guys aren't everything. I have made a lot of progress with my scripts and my job search. I worked a lot and saved a lot of money.
Mar. 14 Haircut: Today I took the bus at 9am to get my haircut. I thought the hair salon in Chinatown was open, but it wasn't until 10am. Fortunately the owner was there and she cut my hair. I've been going to that place every 6 months since 2006. I'm a loyal customer. lol.
I've been going to that place since I was a kid really. My mom always took me there. It's not until 2006 did I start making tricks there by myself.
Then I called my friend Angela and asked about the Summer Heights High joke. She said back in gr. 3, this kid falsely accused his teacher of hitting him. He was late coming home from school because he wanted to play in the playground. He didn't want to admit it was his fault for staying late, so he blamed his teacher.

chimpanzee attack/ comparisons/ Japan
Mar. 9 Chimpanzee attack: In Mar. 2010, I was watching Oprah interview a woman who was attacked by a chimpanzee. The woman's friend owned a chimpanzee as an exotic pet. The chimpanzee got out of it's cage and attacked the woman. She lost her eyes and is blind. Her daughter is in high school and living with friends.
The woman's friend apologized to her about the chimpanzee attack. The woman who was attacked has a hard time speaking and lives in the hospital. She goes on walks with a nurse and likes to feel the sun on her. She covers her face with this hat that has a veil over it.
There are tabloids who want to take pictures of her face so there's always someone guarding her hospital room door. She did show her face on Oprah because that's a way to show it with dignity.
Mar. 10 13 yr old college boy: I was watching Tyra Banks show back in Apr. 2010, and she interviewed a 13 yr old African- American boy who's in college. Seriously. He has two majors in math and something else, I forget. Maybe engineering. TB interviewed his parents about how he skipped grades. She talked to his 16 yr old sister who sees her little brother as an older sibling. TB gave the boy an iPhone.
Albinism: I watched 20/20 last year about how they covered that people kill albinos because it's used for witch doctor medicine in Africa. They interviewed an albino model who's in her 20s. Then I was watching Tyra Banks and she interviewed her and an albino guy. Yeah, Tyra's got substance and style.
Michelle Kwan: Do you remember how I talked about how Olympic athletes have start sponsorships because everybody forgets about them fast? Does anyone remember Olympic figure skater Michelle Kwan? I was checking out what's on MuchMoreMusic and it was Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List and MK was on it.
The last time I saw MK was when she was on Sabrina the Teenage Witch in the late 90s where she was rollerblading on the school hallways. I can't believe I actually remembered the ep. It's where Sabrina was typing up her story on a magical typewriter where things come true after it's been typed. MK was also on the Teen Choice Awards in the late 90s, early 2000s.
Golden Gate Funds: I saw W5 in Apr. 2010 and they reported that Golden Gate Funds is a scam. If you want to read the article here it is:
http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/WFive/20100424/w5_foolsgold_100424/
Comparisons: Here's some more:
Couple on the run: It's most recently done in the new movie The Adjustment Bureau starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. It's been done in MD's movie The Bourne Identity. It was also done in The Island (2005). When I saw The Island it had inspired me to write some scenes which I still have on my 3.5 floppy disks. Though nothing has been developed. I also saw it on The Young and the Restless storyline with Lily and Daniel on the run.
Bad guy finds Jesus and becomes good: I was watching Degrassi and Fitz is a bad guy who comes back and says he found Jesus and becomes a good guy. On Gossip Girl, Georgina went to this religious camp and became good, then went back to NYC and reverted back to the way she was. I saw that on an ep of Criminal Minds called "The Thirteenth Step" where a woman confronts her dad who molested her, and he says he found Jesus.
Finding a dead body on a carousel: I mentioned seeing this before on crime dramas like CSI: NY, Criminal Minds, and Castle. I'm going to add Law and Order: SVU on it too.
Asian woman news reporter: This is another racial stereotype I will add with a black female judge. It's not a bad racial stereotype, but it's a racial stereotype. It's a running joke on Family Guy. I've seen one in the movie Drop Dead Gorgeous, Eminem's music video "My Name is" and the TV show Nikita.
Mar. 11:
Fortune teller reads character's palm or tarot cards, used to reveal character: I was watching the TV movie Lies and Deception and a fortune teller reads the lead character's tarot cards to reveal where this character is at. I watched the TV show The Cape and a fortune teller read's Orwell's palm to reveal character.
Gay character gets harassed by this person, but the person is secretly gay themselves: I saw this on Glee where a gay character is harassed by a jock, and then the jock kisses him. I was watching Pretty Little Liars and this girl harasses Emily. Later the girl kisses Emily.
Dating someone much older and hiding the relationship: I'm watching Pretty Little Liars and this girl Aria meets this guy at a bar, and they make out. Then it turns out that guy is her English teacher and they have a relationship by staying in his apartment. There is a real connection though.
It's done on 90210 where Dixon meets this woman Sasha at a bar, and they stay at her apartment. Then later he reveals his age. Though I did like that there's a real connection and discussion about the relationship problem.
Dixon: I want to introduce you to my friends and family, and go out with you in public. We can't have this entire relationship in your living room.
That's true.
On Degrassi, Anya dates a guy who's 25 and she's 17. Then later she reveals her age and that she will turn 18 in 2 months. They decide to get together when she's 18.
This one isn't really related to the above comparison, but it does remind me of The Simpsons. Principal Skinner's mom went out with Comic Book guy for one episode, and there's a huge age difference. They got along because they hated the same things.
Dateline: I'm going to bring up that Dateline: To Catch a Predator thing again. The one where that 35 yr old guy says to the 12 yr old girl: "I thought that we should get to know each other first." That guy was so fake. Do you really think there's going to be a real connection between you and a 12 yr old girl?
I'm 25 and I'm friends with a woman named Sherry who's in her 40s. We have a connection. Then there was that woman I worked with Lorraine at the Soup place when we both watched Big Brother. I got along with my manager Aziz at this cafe I worked at. They were both in their 40s.
Mar. 12 Japan: Yesterday at work, someone said there's a tsunami and an earthquake that hit Japan. When I got home I was discussing it with my little brother. I then watched 30 min. coverage of it on CNN with the politician- turned- news anchor Eliot Spitzer. ES talked to this American teacher that was teaching English in Japan.
There was cell phone footage of the teacher in the earthquake. It was crazy. I was reading the Edmonton Journal today about a jr. high school that was planning a trip to Japan, but now can't go. They're raising money to help Japan.
You can wank it in your mind that at least Japan is a first world country and can pick themselves up easier than the Haiti earthquake. A year later, Haiti is still in ruins.
The woman's friend apologized to her about the chimpanzee attack. The woman who was attacked has a hard time speaking and lives in the hospital. She goes on walks with a nurse and likes to feel the sun on her. She covers her face with this hat that has a veil over it.
There are tabloids who want to take pictures of her face so there's always someone guarding her hospital room door. She did show her face on Oprah because that's a way to show it with dignity.

Gay character gets harassed by this person, but the person is secretly gay themselves: I saw this on Glee where a gay character is harassed by a jock, and then the jock kisses him. I was watching Pretty Little Liars and this girl harasses Emily. Later the girl kisses Emily.
Dating someone much older and hiding the relationship: I'm watching Pretty Little Liars and this girl Aria meets this guy at a bar, and they make out. Then it turns out that guy is her English teacher and they have a relationship by staying in his apartment. There is a real connection though.
It's done on 90210 where Dixon meets this woman Sasha at a bar, and they stay at her apartment. Then later he reveals his age. Though I did like that there's a real connection and discussion about the relationship problem.
Dixon: I want to introduce you to my friends and family, and go out with you in public. We can't have this entire relationship in your living room.
That's true.
On Degrassi, Anya dates a guy who's 25 and she's 17. Then later she reveals her age and that she will turn 18 in 2 months. They decide to get together when she's 18.
This one isn't really related to the above comparison, but it does remind me of The Simpsons. Principal Skinner's mom went out with Comic Book guy for one episode, and there's a huge age difference. They got along because they hated the same things.
Dateline: I'm going to bring up that Dateline: To Catch a Predator thing again. The one where that 35 yr old guy says to the 12 yr old girl: "I thought that we should get to know each other first." That guy was so fake. Do you really think there's going to be a real connection between you and a 12 yr old girl?
I'm 25 and I'm friends with a woman named Sherry who's in her 40s. We have a connection. Then there was that woman I worked with Lorraine at the Soup place when we both watched Big Brother. I got along with my manager Aziz at this cafe I worked at. They were both in their 40s.
Mar. 12 Japan: Yesterday at work, someone said there's a tsunami and an earthquake that hit Japan. When I got home I was discussing it with my little brother. I then watched 30 min. coverage of it on CNN with the politician- turned- news anchor Eliot Spitzer. ES talked to this American teacher that was teaching English in Japan.
There was cell phone footage of the teacher in the earthquake. It was crazy. I was reading the Edmonton Journal today about a jr. high school that was planning a trip to Japan, but now can't go. They're raising money to help Japan.
You can wank it in your mind that at least Japan is a first world country and can pick themselves up easier than the Haiti earthquake. A year later, Haiti is still in ruins.

funny video/ comedy comparisons/ octomom
Mar. 7 Funny video: I was looking up this song "Pregnant" by R. Kelly because it has Robin Thicke singing in it. I then found this funny video with a guy lip syncing to R. Kelly's "Pregnant." It was surprisingly funny with him pointing to a dog in the song. It did kind of have a feel of a music video.
I was reading the comments about how people thought it was funny and that's he's good looking. lol. Yeah, he's kind of good looking.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR--rKNw2Co&feature=fvst
Comedy comparisons: Here are some comedy comparisons:
Overreacting to a situation: Last summer I was watching Summer Heights High for the first time. This teen guy Jonah drew a picture of his dad touching his privates in art class.
Cut to Jonah, his dad, art teacher, guidance counselor and principal talking about the picture for a bit.
Jonah: No, my dad doesn't touch me. I drew the picture so I could get out of English class.
Me: What? You falsely accused your dad of touching you just so you can get out of English class? Why can't you fake sick or skip? Well if he did that, then there wouldn't be much of a story. It could end up like Ferris Bueller's Day Off where Ferris, his friend and girlfriend are dodging the principal. I'll give Summer Heights High points for originality in excuse and story.
Then I remembered years ago I saw the same kind of thing on MADtv where two woman neighbors go on a Judge Judy kind of TV show.
Judge: What? You falsely accused your neighbor of hitting her children because some of her leaves were blown onto your yard?
Woman: Yes.
Mar. 8 Joke: A few months ago I was watching Jay Leno and he said that due to Charlie Sheen's crazy antics with cocaine and porn stars, the ratings of his show Two and a Half Men have increased.
JL: I'm going to take one for the team.
JL goes and kisses a woman who's sitting in the front row, on the cheek.
lol.
Now Charlie Sheen's antics have gone out of control that he got fired from his show.
Mar. 9 Funny sketch: Last summer I went to Calgary and I watched Will Farrel on Jimmy Fallon. I only watched it because Mike Posner was going to perform his song "Cooler than Me." The sketch had WF and JF use these mannequin's hands to make sandwiches.
JF made the sandwich and WF was the customer. It was kind of hard where JF was trying to get the money out of WF's "hand" with JF's "hand." lol. I don't usually watch this show and watched it by chance, but somehow I felt that it was directed at me. I made sandwiches at the Soup place so I felt this kind of connection to the sketch.
Job search: I've been working at this restaurant job for 5 months now. It took me 8 months to get this job and I'm sticking with it. However, my hours have been cut, but I'm not going to look for another job. I'm going to keep looking for an office job.
I had even thought of applying to Call Centre #4 again. You know the one where I worked there for 1 day and they dismissed me saying that 9 completed surveys wasn't good enough. I had then fantasized about throwing an egg at their window. lol. I thought about throwing the egg, but didn't do it. I'm going to use my hours being cut to push myself to look for another office job more.
Today was my day off so I went and looked at all the job opportunities on bank websites and applied to some.
Advice column: I'm going through my agenda and I had written down about this advice column I read in the Edmonton Journal called "Ask Ellie." This woman writes in saying she likes one of her managers, but she doesn't report to him. She knows he's married, but she asks him out anyway. He rejects her and was nice to her. She then asks him out again and he does the same thing. She asks Ellie what to do.
E says what I was thinking that she is stupid to ask him out that besides him being a manager at her job, he's married. He was nice to her gently reject her, but that doesn't mean that he's interested in you. One time I asked a guy out, and then he told me he had a girlfriend. He was nice to me, but I didn't ask him out again.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Last October I was watching Glee's Halloween episode and they performed music from the movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I then got a flashback of the 2003 sitcom Freddie that starred Freddie Prinze Jr. and Brian Austin Green (original 90210 and Megan Fox's husband). BAG dressed up like the transsexual in the movie.
I got another flashback of Oct. 2000 when I was in high school and saw the first half of the movie in drama class. I think it was alright of a movie. I would have to see the whole thing before I could give a review.
Octomom: I had written down some more notes when Octomom Nadya Suleman was on Oprah. NS said that she had a 4.0 in her Masters course when she had 6 kids. She said she had a baby addict then. She didn't feel loved by her mom and she's an only child. N had in- vitro and failed to get pregnant twice. The third time, the octuplets came. She felt self- medicated by the children. Lots of people self- medicate by buying things they can't afford and with food.
O asked the question: "Is there anyone here who has 1 or 2 kids, and then have another though they can't afford it? This is the same situation."
NS: If I knew then, what I know now, I would not have went to the doctor and said "One more." (IVF).
I remembered O asked the same question on Apr. 2010 when NS was first on.
NS: I wouldn't have put as many eggs in me.
The interview goes on about how N wants approval from mom and from women. N spouts her anger about the fame she has received. She has kids and now she's famous.
NS: If you want to be a celebrity, you have to have talent and have earned it. Everything about fame relates to my mom. I don't want anything to do with it.
Jon Stewart's Earth: I read the first 6 pages of The Daily Show's Jon Stewart's book called Earth. It's a humorous take about how JS describes Earth and it's cultures to aliens who have never been to Earth before.
I was going through my notes, and JS was on Oprah back in Sept. 2010. JS visited a NYU media class and gave his book for free to the students. That is so cool.
Mar. 10 Writing differently: I don't know if you noticed this, but I haven't wrote about teen pregnancy or Dateline: to Catch a Predator, or TV show story lines. You may say: "You're still writing about TV with 20/20 and Oprah." But these are news stories and I'm writing investigative journalism. lol.
I was reading the comments about how people thought it was funny and that's he's good looking. lol. Yeah, he's kind of good looking.

feminism/ blog/ child abuse
Mar. 6 Feminism: Did you know that Mar. 8 is Woman's Day? I was watching a Doc Zone ep called Feminist: The F- Word. They talked to intelligent women who considered themselves feminists about feminism like Susan Faludi, Jessica Yee, Naomi Wolf, Christina Hoff Summers, Peggy Nash, Germaine Greer, and Amy Richards at feminist.com.
Stay-at-home-moms have like 7 jobs as a mom. They are a janitor, cook, and a day care teacher to name a few. If they were paid to be moms, they would get paid $117,000 a year.
There are 308 Parliament seats, and 68 are women. In Scandinavian countries, 50% of the government are women. There's a website called www.nameitchangeit.com about sexist media portrayal. This is what it says on the website:
"Widespread sexism in the media is one of the top problems facing women. A highly toxic media environment persists for women candidates, often negatively affecting their campaigns. The ever-changing media landscape creates an unmonitored echo chamber, often allowing damaging comments to exist without accountability.
We must erase the pervasiveness of sexism against all women candidates — irrespective of political party or level of office — across all media platforms in order to position women to achieve equality in public office. We will not stand by as pundits, radio hosts, bloggers, and journalists damage women's political futures with misogynistic remarks. When you attack one woman, you attack all women."
In the documentary, there was discussion about waves of feminism like how in the late 1990s there were shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Xena: Warrior Princess, and the movie Lara Croft. There were pop stars like the Spice Girls and now Lady Gaga.
They discussed the usual of how there are more women in college, have careers, in male- dominated fields like engineering, but yet women still make less money than men. It's very mixed results. Women are in careers like nursing and teaching. Medical and education fields have good job security, however they don't pay really well as in teaching.
Men make a lot of money in manufacturing and construction, however, the job security isn't that good. I read that men were affected worse than the women in the recession because the manufacturing and construction had a lot of lay offs.
Blog: I got this email:
Hi Tracy,
Hope this email finds you well. My name is Myron and I manage content for Careeroverview.com. It's not often that one comes across a site that is so well-written and creatively expressed as yours.
Since we write in a similar niche, thought you might want to share a recent article of ours, "20 Best Android Apps for Your Job Search", with your readers. Here's the link: (http://www.careeroverview.com/blog/2011/20-best-android-apps-for-your-job-search/).
Either way, thanks for the great content from a fellow blogger!
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Myron Wendall
I read the article and I thought the apps were pretty interesting.
Law of attraction: I have never heard of the name Myron. I get an email from Myron. Then I was checking out Facebook, and a friend's friend's name is Myron. I was looking at my old newspaper clippings and I see that name.
I was thinking about that Rihanna song "Breaking dishes" and she didn't release that song. Then I heard it on 91.7 The Bounce during the 9'o' clock mix where they have a DJ mix all these songs together. I heard that song when I went to the So You Think You Can Dance Canada audition back in 2009.
Mar. 7 Job interview: Today I went to a job interview for an office position. I don't know if I got it. I also deposited my tip money into my bank account. I looked for a job. I also typed up my script treatment and emailed it to a producer.
Child abuse: I saw this on Oprah 2 weeks ago. In Apr. 3, 2000, a 7 yr old girl lived in a dog cage. The parents beat up and starved their 4 children. The oldest is an 11 yr old boy who walked to the police station barefoot in the cold and told them about the abuse. Parents got 1 yr in jail. The girl's name is Chelsea and she's 21 now.
C talked about having fragmented memories. There weren't any mirrors in her home and she didn't know how old she was and old she looked like. Police had came to her home twice. C thought it was normal to live in a cage so she didn't tell the teacher.
One time one of her brothers opened her cage and they ate candy. Her mom found out and she was locked in the cage and the brothers had to be outside in the winter without coats on.
C lived in foster homes, then adopted, then in foster homes again. She googled her story, talked to reporters who covered the story. C went back home and the Oprah camera crew followed her. C starts crying in the basement. When C was being rescued, there was a flashlight. She remembered standing by the police car and eating her first cheeseburger.
They interviewed police chief Daniel Ally who rescued the kids. C now has a 1 yr old son. C has a relationship with 2 brothers. C has a relationship with 2 of her other brothers through Facebook.
C: I strive to go forward in life and be happy.
C: When you come out of a situation like that, you can be a victim and throw your life away. Or move forward.
Mar. 8 Koala bears: I was watching Saturday Night Live back in Sept. 2010, and on Weekend Update, it said koala bears can get chlamydia. It's true. Here's an article on AOL news:
http://www.aolnews.com/2010/09/17/koala-population-ravaged-by-chlamydia/
Good Earth: I went to this cafe called Good Earth in Apr. 2010. They gave away free coffee when it opened. The coffee was alright.
The office supply store Grand and Toy is selling Timothy's tea an coffee, and coffee machine.

music/ Truddi Chase/ rape
Mar. 3 Music: I was reading comments on Robin Thicke's song "Teach U a Lesson." And someone said it reminds them of this German singer Vaidus and his song "Tiktai Tu." It's a really beautiful song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb9wYFGmD_A
I then checked out some more German music and found this singer Sasha Son. He did a cover of Elton's John's song "Sorry seems to be the Hardest Word" in German. I like this performance where SS sings while playing on a piano and it's revolving. There are a group of dancers dancing contemporary to it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skTrKxQcwd8&feature=related
I'm not a fan of EJ, but I like this song because my favorite British boy band Blue did a duet with him to this song.
Here's SS singing in German to Toploader's song "Dancing in the Moonlight." This song was on the A Walk to Remember soundtrack. I have the cd. It's a very upbeat song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIbS-urLhI8&feature=related
Friends: I chatted with my friend Angela recently and she said that one of my emails was boring where I talked about actors and where I've seen them in. I'm kind of sick of writing about TV so now I'm going to write about serious topics and news, at least for this email.
Truddi Chase: I was watching Oprah a few months ago and they covered this woman named Truddi Chase in May 1990. It turns out TC was raped at 2 by her her step dad. She was abused until she ran away when she was 16. She had split into 92 personalities to deal with the pain. Oprah did break down and cry because she was abused herself.
They talked to Kim Noble who had split into 25 personalities. It's Dissociative Identity Disorder. They talked to this young woman named Erin who was molested and she made a law called Erin's Law to protect children. There was also about a woman who after seeing TC on Oprah, she became a clinical social worker.
Craigslist: I watched Law and Order: SVU. Then I watched Oprah, and I learned it was a "ripped from the headlines" story. It turns out L&O: SVU made an episode out of a true story. This woman Sarah's ex- boyfriend had set her up to get raped through Craigslist.
Her ex-boyfriend's name Jebodiah Stype. He put an ad on Craigslist about Sarah and how she has a rape fantasy and needs an aggressive man. He had put photos of S in her swimsuit from her Myspace page. S called cops, and they told her to get Craigslist to remove the ad. The ad was removed, but she was attacked. Rapist thought she wanted the rape fantasy.
Some people have sympathy for the rapist because he didn't know Sarah really didn't want to be raped. Well he's still a psychopath. At the very least, he's a cheater because he had a wife and 2 kids. It turns out there were 114 replies to that ad. That is so scary.
Yeah, well at least the ex- boyfriend and the rapist got arrested. Sarah has now gotten married to another guy. Oprah did tell the audience that if you put pictures or anything else on the internet, anyone can use it. Don't put photos of yourself in a swimsuit. I'm not saying that a woman who does that is "asking for it" but please be cautious.
Rape: I was reading a letter in the National Post that 1 in 4 young woman will be raped in the first 4 yrs of college. It will most likely happen in the first 8 weeks of school. 80% of the victims know their attacker. 70% occur in residence. 4% report to campus security and police. The stats are by National College of Women Sexual Victimization study at University of Western Ontario.
I remember reading in a teen magazine about rape stats like most of the time it's knowing your attacker. I remember reading in Teen that reporting a rape is a personal choice, but you should report it because he may go and rape someone else.
I read in a magazine years ago about a girl going to a party with a group of guys, and when she got there, there was only one guy and he raped her. She did report it to the police. I watched America's Most Wanted and how this rapist got away by escaping the court house. Now that's why they're looking for him on this show.
They interviewed this 13 yr old rape victim (identity in the shadows) and she said she didn't want others to go through what she went through, so that's why she pressed charges.
Tasers: I was watching Republic of Doyle and one of the characters Desmond gets tasered and it's kind of funny. He does go to the hospital. On Corner Gas, the cop Davis accidentally tasers himself and he really hurts himself. It's played for laughs.
However, I saw a ep of Doc Zone where they covered how dangerous tasers are and how it has a long lasting effect after being used. They talked about how cops have to experience being pepper sprayed in the eyes before they become cops. Well they have to be tasered too.
One woman was tasered and after that, her physical health was poor and she couldn't become a cop.
20/20: This was from last year, but I saw an ep on 20/20 about a group of teens who steal from celebrities. They break into Paris Hilton's and Lindsay Lohan's mansions and steal clothes and jewelery from them. It's mainly a group of girls and a guy. They interviewed the guy.
He discussed about the girl's obsession with being a celebrity and by having those possessions, they are a celebrity.
Mar. 4 Charity: Onto lighter things. I read this in the Edmonton Journal last November. This studio executive Scott Neelson created a charity that helped 700 children in Cambodia go to school. He was there on vacation and these 2 girls came to him at a restaurant begging for money. He gave them some. The next day he wast there, the same girls showed up and then he realized they are always going to keep asking for money. That's when he created the charity.
Job: Yesterday I learned that my hours will be getting cut. I'm kind of sad. Yeah, well at least I still have EI and can get money from there. It's the money that matters. Forget about not being able to get free food from there anymore. I'm looking at my old agenda and had written down what I had for lunch.
I had the top part of butt of Angus beef, truffle, mushroom soup, chicken cordon blue, and swordfish. Oh the days when I was able to get free and good food. Now they are gone. I'll get over it.
I was reading in the screenwriting book by Robert McKee called Story. It said you spend 1/3 of your life working. I suppose that's about right.
Lincense plates: I saw one that said CJOY. Then there's one with MARIA J. That reminds me of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where Cordelia's license plate says QUEEN C. I saw one that said CATHY O.
Mar. 5 News: I read in the business section of The Globe and Mail that most Canadian households spend 96% of their income. I can't remember how many Canadian Households did. I spent 16% of my income last year because I live with my parents.

I then checked out some more German music and found this singer Sasha Son. He did a cover of Elton's John's song "Sorry seems to be the Hardest Word" in German. I like this performance where SS sings while playing on a piano and it's revolving. There are a group of dancers dancing contemporary to it.

I'm not a fan of EJ, but I like this song because my favorite British boy band Blue did a duet with him to this song.
Here's SS singing in German to Toploader's song "Dancing in the Moonlight." This song was on the A Walk to Remember soundtrack. I have the cd. It's a very upbeat song.

Friends: I chatted with my friend Angela recently and she said that one of my emails was boring where I talked about actors and where I've seen them in. I'm kind of sick of writing about TV so now I'm going to write about serious topics and news, at least for this email.
Truddi Chase: I was watching Oprah a few months ago and they covered this woman named Truddi Chase in May 1990. It turns out TC was raped at 2 by her her step dad. She was abused until she ran away when she was 16. She had split into 92 personalities to deal with the pain. Oprah did break down and cry because she was abused herself.
They talked to Kim Noble who had split into 25 personalities. It's Dissociative Identity Disorder. They talked to this young woman named Erin who was molested and she made a law called Erin's Law to protect children. There was also about a woman who after seeing TC on Oprah, she became a clinical social worker.
Craigslist: I watched Law and Order: SVU. Then I watched Oprah, and I learned it was a "ripped from the headlines" story. It turns out L&O: SVU made an episode out of a true story. This woman Sarah's ex- boyfriend had set her up to get raped through Craigslist.
Her ex-boyfriend's name Jebodiah Stype. He put an ad on Craigslist about Sarah and how she has a rape fantasy and needs an aggressive man. He had put photos of S in her swimsuit from her Myspace page. S called cops, and they told her to get Craigslist to remove the ad. The ad was removed, but she was attacked. Rapist thought she wanted the rape fantasy.
Some people have sympathy for the rapist because he didn't know Sarah really didn't want to be raped. Well he's still a psychopath. At the very least, he's a cheater because he had a wife and 2 kids. It turns out there were 114 replies to that ad. That is so scary.
Yeah, well at least the ex- boyfriend and the rapist got arrested. Sarah has now gotten married to another guy. Oprah did tell the audience that if you put pictures or anything else on the internet, anyone can use it. Don't put photos of yourself in a swimsuit. I'm not saying that a woman who does that is "asking for it" but please be cautious.
Rape: I was reading a letter in the National Post that 1 in 4 young woman will be raped in the first 4 yrs of college. It will most likely happen in the first 8 weeks of school. 80% of the victims know their attacker. 70% occur in residence. 4% report to campus security and police. The stats are by National College of Women Sexual Victimization study at University of Western Ontario.
I remember reading in a teen magazine about rape stats like most of the time it's knowing your attacker. I remember reading in Teen that reporting a rape is a personal choice, but you should report it because he may go and rape someone else.
I read in a magazine years ago about a girl going to a party with a group of guys, and when she got there, there was only one guy and he raped her. She did report it to the police. I watched America's Most Wanted and how this rapist got away by escaping the court house. Now that's why they're looking for him on this show.
They interviewed this 13 yr old rape victim (identity in the shadows) and she said she didn't want others to go through what she went through, so that's why she pressed charges.
Tasers: I was watching Republic of Doyle and one of the characters Desmond gets tasered and it's kind of funny. He does go to the hospital. On Corner Gas, the cop Davis accidentally tasers himself and he really hurts himself. It's played for laughs.
However, I saw a ep of Doc Zone where they covered how dangerous tasers are and how it has a long lasting effect after being used. They talked about how cops have to experience being pepper sprayed in the eyes before they become cops. Well they have to be tasered too.
One woman was tasered and after that, her physical health was poor and she couldn't become a cop.

joke/ Ed the Sock/ Live Action
Feb. 28 Joke: I was watching Jay Leno.
JL: NBC is retiring the peacock logo. Let's see where the peacock is.
Cut to outside NBC studio.
A old man dressed like a peacock is going through the dumpster.
He finds a bottle of alcohol and drinks it.
JL: That's why you should save your money.
I call to my little brother who's in the room and on the computer.
Me: You hear that?
P: Yeah.
lol. I'm always telling him to save his money.
Funny sketch: Today's my day off and I did the usual of writing my script, job search, and shoveling snow. I haven't been reading the 16 and Pregnant thread on twop.com in over a month and I had to go and read it. There are girls on the show who says the they thought the guy was responsible for birth control like Valerie from 16&P season 2.
That reminded me of a MadTV sketch back in 2003 or 2004. It's about a really bad sex ed tape from the 1970s where Avril Lavigne guest- stars. Go to the 3min 25 sec part. AL's parents are giving AL and her boyfriend bad tips about sex.
Boyfriend: What about condoms?
Dad: Birth control is the woman's responsibility.
You can hear the audience laugh at that part.
Dad: Wearing a condom is like a putting a raincoat in the show. What's the point?
The other tips are to have sex with multiple partners, while taking cocaine, without birth control. The sketch may be offensive to some viewers.

Mar. 1: A few months ago I heard this joke on Jay Leno.
JL: There are girls who are trying to get pregnant on purpose to get on the TV show 16 and Pregnant. If they do get pregnant and don't get on the show, they will be 17 and Stupid.
I read on twop.com about the people who have unprotected sex could be on 18 and Infected.
Ed the Sock: I remember this interview where Ed the Sock puppet interviews Avril Lavigne at the Muchmusic Video Awards way back in 2002.
Ed: So you're 17 right?
AL: Yeah.
Ed: Yeah, well I guess you're a little too old for R. Kelly.
AL's band members go "Ohhhhh."
My little brother and I were watching it and we go: "Ohhhhh."
R. Kelly was charged with statutory rape. I remember telling my friend Jessica this in 2005 and she covered her mouth with her hand.
I did see Ed the Sock in a "Don't drink and drive" commercial. It's sellling Common Sense. Kevin Federline (Britney Spears ex-husband) was also in the commercial.
Sales guy: Take a taxi.
Ed: But most taxis smell like a Turkish prison.
Sales guy: Then wear this air freshner necklace.
Mar. 2 Law of attraction: It's from The Secret: Teen Power book I read, and what you think, you attract. On Sunday, this thought popped into my head. I was thinking about the singer Massari and his song "Smile for Me." That's the only song I really like of his.
He's a Lebanese- Canadian R&B artist that was big a few years ago. I then listened to his song on Youtube. Then on Monday, he was in The Globe and Mail Life section about fitness. He says he's coming back with a new album and he's working out.
Last week I was thinking about that bad horror movie called Left in Darkness because David Anders was in it. The actress Monica Keena is the lead in the movie. Then on Mon. I was watching Castle and MK was in it where she plays a sister to a dead guy.
Job interview: I went into the cold today to do a job interview. They said they're doing 50-100 interviews in 2 weeks so I'll lower my expectations of getting hired. The guy asked: "If you could be any animal in the world, what would it be and why?" I remember back in 2000, when I took CALM 20 in summer school. This guy Alex said: "A dog, because they're loyal and faithful companions." So I said that in the interview.
I remember in 2005 when I was applying at Call Centre #1 which I got hired at. They asked that question and I said the same thing. My friend Riley had worked there and he said: "A dog because they get to hump lots of things." Seriously. lol.
Live Action: I was watching CNN last month and they covered this right wing group called Live Action. They've been covered before. It's about 20-somethings doing radical undercover work. They spoke to Lila Rose who is an anti- abortion activist. She got two actors who play a pimp and an underage prostitute to go into Planned Parenthood to get health care.
The PP employee was fired because she was aiding and abetting a pimp. The PP employee says if the girl's 14 and younger, then they have to tell the FBI about it, so lie and say you're 15. Say the person you had sex with is 15 too, even if he isn't.
Stuart Schear, VP for Communications of Planned Parenthood talked to CNN. He says he doesn't like Live Action, because they're trying to bring down Planned Parenthood. PP helps women's health with abortions and birth control. Lila Rose says she is protecting women and girls from being exploited.
My take is this: It's good that LR got a bad PP employee fired for aiding and abetting a pimp. I'm going to assume this isn't the first time that this employee told people who come in to lie about their age and who they're having sex with. I'll give points to SS for firing that employee. I hope LR helps more women, but not in this sneaky underhanded way. However, I think she's probably keep hiring actors to play pimps and prostitutes to get bad employees fired.
Our America: I saw Lisa Ling on Oprah. She's promoting her new show called Our America that airs on Oprah's TV network OWN. The show covers faith healers, drug addicts, and sex offenders. The clip they showed was how a 7yr old Haley was born a Harry. This is a transgender kid and his family.
Here is a clip of the sex offender episode. It's about a young woman named Lauren who started her program called Lauren's Kids to teach children to protect themselves from child molesters. She was molested by her nanny.

Jackie Chan: I read in an article last fall that Jackie Chan does a lot of endorsements in China. However, many of them are for poor products. I'm sure he still makes a lot of money off it.
I remember watching 20/20 about how Olympic athletes have to immediately start endorsements after the Olympics are over. That's because no one really remembers the athletes. There are some that are really big and stay big like Michael Phelps, but name some others.
Mar. 3 Saying: I was watching The Listener and a line was that something had "gone sideways." My little brother overheard it.
P: It always goes south or sideways.
Or down. Interestingly enough, I used "went south" in my Rain synopsis. Then I used "sideways" in the script.
JL: NBC is retiring the peacock logo. Let's see where the peacock is.
