It's was a great weekend with the family. We got dim sum on Saturday, pre-gamed at my sister's place for the USC/Stanford game, watched the game WHAT A GAME and then yesterday got together in our hood to watch the Skins stink. But all was okay considering I was with family. I miss them already. This week is pretty darn busy and I think I'm going to start looking for different work. Why? I want to make more working less hours, that's why. Last day of the Fall Fund Drive. Thanks to all who've helped along the way!

Here are your highlights:

5 observations from the Bills v Redskins game

How Republicans hate (D)emocracy

Occupy Wall St. changing the conversation

Sad but true, Asian-Americans most bullied ethnic group in schools

Wallpapers for your desktop

Michelle Obama the "angry black woman" is the new meme on the Right. It's getting desperate, could it be the GOP is starting to panic about 2012 already?!

The family is in town. Looking forward to seeing them. Yesterday was a great learning experience as I got to sit in on a casting for a film. It was cool to see the other side, hear a director's point of view and see how other actors audition. I think my next audition will be much improved. I just have to keep working. Maintain focus and good things will happen...right?

Here are your highlights:

Maybe there won't be a double dip after all

Obama polling well in Ohio compared to Romney, this is good news

Occupy Wall St. continues, as police (who should be on the protesters side) confront them. And Eugene Robinson shows why Occupy Wall St. Has Struck a Nerve

Occupy Oakland, the brutal sight. This is what the 1% wants, to turn the 99% on each other and for what? Why should something so awful happen? Protesting corporate greed, greed in general shouldn't be treated with such hostility. Simply appalling.

I'm beat, but I'm not down! Why? Well after a bad day on the truck (slow) and an awkward audition where they wanted a Chinese (Mandarin speaking, I don't speak Mandarin) scientist, I realized it's all part of the game. That's just how it goes out here. So to take more initiative I'm getting my learn on. I'll be studying more, hitting the library and doing some observing to improve my own acting skillz. And and and hopefully then I won't be sent on auditions that make absolutely no sense more me. I hope. My Dad and older brother get in town in a couple of days, it's gonna be RAGE-tastic.

It was a roller coaster of a weekend. I feel pretty exhausted, but yesterday was nice and offered some much needed hope despite the Redskin's loss. I'm working doubles the beginning of the week and then my family comes into town. We're going to watch USC play Stanford, eat Chinese food and enjoy some booze. Looking forward to it. I need a stay-cation.

Quick hit analysis of yesterday's Redskins game. Beck played a solid game, the defense was the surprising let down. And yes I think Cam Newton is legit.

Rough night. Long day at work. I seem to be running on empty the last two days. I tried to sleep in today, however construction and trucks. Lots of trucks. Great bit of background noise for a deadline I have for a voice over gig. Woohoo! FML. It's Friday, so for a lot of you it's the start of the weekend. My weekend isn't till Tuesday. Do I sound teh sad? I feel teh sad.

Here are your highlights:

Obama announces troop withdrawal from Iraq, it's about damn time

(everything that is wrong w/the media "is it appropriate?" never mind the seriousness of the issue at hand)

So I worked the double yesterday. Gots to eat. I spent late last night writing. Penning my latest script idea. I'm in the last swing of things. Hopefully I'll get the first draft done by this weekend...not likely, but that's the deadline I'm setting for myself. I swear if I ever did get a writing gig, I would miss every single deadline. I've been trying to train, get better at it, any ideas on how to train for deadlines? Hope all is rockin, ya'll!

Here are your highlights:

Report: Qaddafi is dead

What have you done today? 100 year old man runs the marathon

Unemployment claims show improvement, still not even close to where we need to be

If Obama was a Republican, he'd be on "Mt. Rushmore by now"

Fall cocktails in LA, 1886 at the Raymond

2010 sucked. Obstruction. Sociopaths. The sabotaging of our country in order to defeat Obama has left our country jobless and with empty pockets. That's why people have been Occupying. That's why people rage. We can't even tax people who make millions, when far too many don't make $30,000 a year. The American Dream ladies and gentlemen. "Fewer Jobs, Less Pay"

I'm a bit fatigued, not gonna lie. I finally had a day off on Monday and spent most of it cleaning the apartment. Yesterday I worked a double, today I was supposed to work another double...luckily I don't have to and am only working tonight. Apologies for missing yesterday's Dunkin, I was rushing about and just ran out of time to read anything. Today I'm here ready to RAGE. There's a lot of stupid out there, be safe, read facts, ignore nonsense and most of all continue being awesome. My Pops & older bro are coming to visit next week. Looking forward to it!

Here are your highlights:

"Moderates", I must remind you Obama doesn't have a magic wand over our asinine Congress

I'll tell you what, I'm working all weekend! Yes this is a good thing, despite my exhaustion I need the cash, even if I'm not getting paid much. My hope is within a month to be back to where I need to be and then I can really push my acting, writing and comedy. And yes that includes this blog. I'm ready to rage on some peeps. My lady is heading to San Fran in a couple of days for a work trip. Anyone else have cool travel plans? Let me live vicariously through you!

I don't what it is about my hood, but there is always somebody banging, drilling or slamming something...heads out of the gutter! Construction everyday around me and it's loud. So that makes my free lance gig as a voice over guy just a tad bit difficult. Just a bit. I have to focus on that and then off to work tonight. Surrounded by alcohol...hmmmm...I came home smelling like brandy last night. Plum brandy.

Working a double today. Check out the video of my buddy Matt Filipowicz and his media rounds after the Occupy Boston debacle. Great work by Matt telling the story of the protesters. AND notice he didn't call them "dirty hippies" once. Well done. Enjoy your day!

Well it's Tuesday and I'm still chuggin along. Apparently I missed a lot last night. At Occupy Boston the police arrested protesters and caused quite a bit of trouble. My buddy Matthew Filipowicz was there and updating people via Twitter. It's crazy how quickly the police surrounded the occupiers. In the video above the most chilling part is a protester being arrested screaming "We are veterans of the United States of America!" It's getting real. Be safe everyone. Be smart. Wish I could be there.

I had a surprising day off yesterday. We didn't have a company car and so I didn't have to commute 40 miles for a wine-tasting course. Awesome, actually, because I got to spend the whole day with my lady doing domestic stuff and seeing different parts of Cali. I can't wait to hike the mountains. There's so much of the coast line we've yet to see. Also too, love Santa Monica. Well unless something else comes up I'm working the next six days in a row. Let's do this!

Well yesterday was a nice day off of writing. I banged out 20 more pages on my script and it really started moving. I was up late, but it was worth it. I have to work all weekend at my other part-time job. Training. Stocking. And what not. All of that nature, such as. Also too, it feels like fall here which is a pleasant surprise. I'm listening to Saves the Day and Thrice today trying to feel like I'm in high school again when both bands excited me. What bands do that for you? Have a great Friday!

No wonder the GOP is dying for another candidate, Only 54% can name one

Unemployment rate still at 9.1%, the jobs numbers broken down. I was lucky enough to find two part-time gigs. Not everyone is so lucky. In fact the way Congress looks, it's gonna stay like this for the rest of the year. And that's terrible news for our country. Maybe we could hire back some of those government jobs....that "aren't real jobs"?

I've got to admit, I watched TRON: Legacy last night and loved it. In fact I might watch it again today. It's not groundbreaking, it's not even witty or super cool, it's that they didn't entirely destroy my childhood and in fact complimented it well. These days in Hollywood that's rare and I appreciate that. In other news I'm working a double today. I start my other part-time job today and then head off to the food truck. I'll be beat, but I need the money! Who doesn't?! The lady and I finally have our engagement pictures and can't wait to share them.

I have a six day work week ahead of me...not kidding. It's gonna be interesting to see how I hold up. So the Redskins won...barely...REX GROSSMAN!! Okay by now the Shanahans should know well and good that Rex will throw an interception every game. So why is it with the lead and a solid running game all day (Welcome back Torain Train!), do you throw the ball on 3rd and 3?!!!! UGH!!!! That games was way too close for comfort. Hopefully in the bye week, we fix some of that nonsense...at least we're on top of the division and our defense is still clutch. Phew. Okay now off to work. Hail to the Redskins!!!
