I am resurrecting the blog!

A few weeks ago I went to LA and had dinner with Puma Swede… and of course a few too many sakes and we ended up at the dive bar down the street. We reminisced about the last few years we have been friends and the crazzzzzeeeee things we have seen in the porn business. (In particular a party in Berlin in ’07 where we now have been permanently scarred by the things we saw. And did.)

She was dog sitting Nikki Benz’s Pomeranian Tobby…the cutest dog ever.

Later that week I went out with my friend Andrea for a girl’s night out and ended up ditching her and hanging out with some guy I knew. She’s pissed and wants a re-do. Ha sorry babe!

My friend Scotty had a birthday party a few weeks ago and I saw my friend Phil-Aye who was DJ’ing the party….

Love this creepy photo!

Interesting story about the party: Rich and I were waiting for a cab in the middle of the night down in Chula Vista (20 mins south of downtown) and some guy that Scotty knew tried to sneak and take it as soon as it showed up. Scotty asked if we minded sharing a cab with this dude to downtown and that he was a good friend and he was “good people.” Now I don’t generally allow strangers in my personal space at that hour and I certainly don’t like to run errands at 3 in the morning but I obliged and told Scotty we would drop him off at his place which was really not far from mine. THE DUDE JUMPED OUT OF THE CAB AND BOLTED when we arrived at his place because he didn’t want to pay me half the $22.60 cab fare! I jump out and ran after him telling him not to be a douche and that he owes me at least $10 for half the fare. He reaches in his pocket and throws four crumpled up dollar bills at me. Rich gets out of the cab to help me deal with this guy and the dude PUNCHES RICH IN THE HEAD! Rich, for once, is mature and walks away. The cab driver then gets out and puts the dude in a headlock! Whaaaat!? It was ridiculous!! What a total A-hole! I won’t be sharing any cabs with strangers at that hour even if they are “friends” of friends. Lame.

Donovan’s opened up a new venue near their steakhouse called Circle of 5th…a loungey kind of place. It was fun… Mike from the Tivoli and I had some oysters and a glass of wine while listening to these dueling piano players.

I am such an idiot…I forgot my laptop there since I am just not used to carrying it around. Once I got home and realized it I freaked out and ran back there. It’s about 3/4 of a mile and I sprinted like the movie “Run, Lola, Run“ and made it in less than 4 minutes. I was in such a hurry I didn’t even put sneakers on and wore FLIP FLOPS…my calves were cramping so bad the next  that I had to leave yoga after 25 minutes. Dork.

Last Saturday my friend Jeff celebrated his birthday at East Village Tavern and I dragged my other friend Moe out with me since it was his birthday as well and was trying to stay in and not do anything. Umm, I don’t think so since you have been to every one of my birthday parties since I have known you. Yer comin out!

I am back to work these days…working on some corporate video stuff for local businesses. Did I really just pick up work where I get to bar hop and schmooze restaurant owners? Yep! I guess I am in sales now, too!

November 17, 2010

My very best friend in the whole wide world that I have known since I was 5 years old had her 38th birthday today. We grew up next door to each other in Connecticut and have stayed in touch over the years. She now lives outside of NYC with her husband and her 3 beautiful little girls. It’s funny…we rarely talk on the phone and rarely exchange emails but when we see each other once a year or whatever we pick up exactly where we left off. We are two peas in a pod with our wit and sarcasm and it’s like we never moved away from each other. Her Dad will probably walk me down the aisle if I can ever trick someone into marrying me. 

You know how I wished her a happy birthday? Facebook.

Happy National Unfriend Day! How many people did you unfriend?

Recently I started DVR’ing Jimmy Kimmel Live again (I have been a huge JK fan since Ben Stein’s Money in the late 90′s and the greatest show on television EVER: The Man Show.) I faithfully watched his late night talk show for many years but stopped recording and watching it about a year ago for whatever reason. Anyways, I am glad he’s back in my life. Lately he’s been on a rampage/mission to make people aware of how “friends” on Facebook are destroying the very concept of what friendship is.  

He has started a campaign called NUD (National Unfriend Day) to take place on November 17, 2010. Basically you go through your Facebook page and unfriend everyone who is not actually your “friend.” He states that even Oprah does not have 854 friends and there is no way that you do. Every night he highlights a ridiculous person on Facebook who posts about really stupid annoying shit. He even had Wolf Blitzer on last night doing a “Breaking News” segment with someone’s dumb updates. It’s so hilarious. Watch that video!! It really makes you think about who you allow to see things in your life. How many of us post photos of our families and personal events and then have a hundred people that are connected to us that we have met in passing at a party or who we may have never met in real life at all? My personal rule is that I don’t have you as a friend unless we have physically met in person. Even that might be stretching the concept of “friendship.”

I guess all of this and null and void for me since I blog every time I fart so it doesn’t really apply to me at all anyways. But YOU should participate in NUD.

I recently had what I thought was going to be a one night stand with a friend of a friend. We exchanged phone numbers and sent a text a day or two later but I had no intention of dating this guy nor did I think he ever wanted to see me again. (He’s got a rep of being a “playah” I found out later.) He called me at at 3:30 am this weekend and I laughed and chortled but didn’t answer. I told our mutual friend that he was a shit head for calling at that hour and blah blah blah. Anyways…I had taken some fun pix that night of the group of us that I had posted on my other racier blog (that I don’t link to here.) I sent the link over to my friend and he shared it with who I will now refer to as 858.

858 then called me a few hours later and this is how the conversation went:

858: “Hey I am sorry I called you so late the other night. That was rude of me. I was drunk.”

Me: “No worries. When I heard the phone ring it woke me up and I was like ‘Oh yeah no way I am answering the phone at this hour for that fucking guy’.”

(We laughed)

858: So (mutual friend) showed me those pictures from the other night and I would love some of them without the (____) logo for my Facebook page. Are we friends on there?”

Me: “Are we Facebook friends? I dunno. I don’t even know if we are really friends in real life.”

858: “Well you did see me naked.”

Me: “Yeah and I did give you a blow job so I guess that’s pretty friendly. Yeah I guess we are friends. I will send you a friend request and then I will upload the photos without the logo.”

Then we made idle chit chat about our day and other stuff. After about 10 minutes I could hear that he was at a restaurant and I told him I would let him go. He said he would call me later. I am sure he will authorize me on Facebook and we will become “friends” and we might even exchange comments on each other’s walls about the photographs. I might never see this guy again. And then, next year on November 17, 2011…I will unfriend him.

Friday October 29, 2010

I forgot that I had some funny footage from The Local’s Halloween party! Ha this kid that works there that we call “McLovin” dressed like Justin Beiber for Halloween and did his rendition on the bar at one point during the night. The best part of the video is the reaction at the end of Mina, the owner.

 Jarin (a fixture here) and Beiber.

This was an awesomely creepy stuffed monkey with a scary face and while I am not sure why it was at the bar or whose costume is was part of, Joe and I had an enormous amount of fun screwing with people who ended up with, well, a literal “monkey on their back”

This guy. Not so amused.

The theme of the night was Cougars and Hunters… cougar and hunter being genderinterchangeble and not just old women dressed like skanks.

The monkey belonged to this woman (a professional athlete of some sort whose name escapes me…who might not want to be named in my blog anyways, so whatever) and I was sooooo close to adopting the monkey from her. She was running around all night and didn’t seem to care about it and I asked her a few times if I could keep it and she was like “Suuuure!”

…but in the end she came back for him He would have looked so awesome in my loft with all my other weird things. (Someone said my place was like American Pickers the other day. Is that an insult? At first I thought it was like they were calling me a hoarder, but I think it means more like I collect eclectic things. I am going with the latter. hmmph.)

Yeah, I didn’t dress up for my favorite holiday of the year. I wasn’t inspired by anything except going with 32 other people as Chilean miners and quite frankly I didn’t want to babysit 32 other drunk people all weekend. My friend Jeff took my idea and had a group of about 5 people but I am such a freak about costumes that I would never do it with less than 33. As I get older and weirder I like Halloween less and less. Since I’ve thrown 2 huge over the top costume parties in the last few years I feel like Halloween is just… amateur hour. Costume snob? Maybe. And the worst part is that I could easily resurrect one of my costumes from 10 years ago and be around people that have never seen it but I refuse. Now that I think of it…this is a whole other blog entry altogether.

Sometime you need to stop and smell the roses.

And give kisses.

And have face-offs.

And run to your mother for safety.

**sigh**

There’s nothing quite like the smell of a puppy’s breath.

(brought to you by Thought for Today)

In any relationship trust is the first thing to leave and the last to return. And if you recognise that the most important relationship is with yourself, then perhaps it’s time to start some trust building close to home. Make and keep a promise or a commitment to yourself, however small – in fact, start very small! Make one and keep one today, and then notice the surge of inner power as a result. See how much more you like yourself as a result. Trust is being built.
