Kings

I had some questions as to why I posted a picture of Sebastian Stan on my "Fin" post.

Well, Kings which is finishing out it's run on NBC is just excellent. It's too bad that no one is watching the show. It's so well written.

The latest episode, deals with a blackout in the city of Gilboa. The princess sneaks off with her latest love, David. Prince Jack, who is in the closet, reaches out to Joseph, his lover.

There is an adorable scene where they hold hands walking down the street.

This show has so much potential. I really wish it would come back for a second season. Too bad we won't have a Jericho like come back.

Laid

I was talking with another former blogger bud today about how his weekend was. He lives out in LA and was talking about his sorta boyfriend and how he hopes to see him later this week and get laid.

I started thinking... I haven't got laid since September. Sigh. It's really not THAT big of a deal. There have been other "activities" I have partaken in but I just have not had full on intercourse.

Some people see oral sex as sex/getting laid/hooking up. Getting laid is full on insertion of your penis into an ass. A blow job is just a blow job.

Plus I should be focused on where my career is going. More on that later.

Fin



I am finished with my script I have been working on since April. I started writing a "spec script" based on the CBS show How I Met Your Mother. I love the show and think it's hilarious.

I have sent my finished copy to a few friends who have English degrees and one who works in TV. They have all loved it. One who is an English professor at a Community College (you gotta start somewhere) told me, "I was not expecting much when you sent it to me. Boy did you prove me wrong. You have talent!"

It feels really good to get feedback from friends. I kept asking them if they were blowing smoke up my ass. They were not. I have to finish up a few random parts of the application but it looks like I will send it out completed on Friday!!!

I now will start work on 30 Rock or something original that I have been plotting in the back of my mind for a while. Stay tuned.

One show that I loved this year was Kings on NBC. I really wish that NBC hadn't fucked it up with a time slot. I was thinking of writing a spec based on the show but since it's a one and done show I don't know how agents would respond with that. Stay tuned.

Viva Las Vegas

I have returned from Sin City. Let me tell you something it was awesome to get away from everything for a few days and just not worry about anything. All I had to worry about was what I was going to do that night and even that was taken care of for me.

I flew to Vegas to see one of my best friends who was working out there at a film festival. What was nice about the trip was that I was able to crash in his room and chill out during the day at the hotel... for free. Well, I bought him dinner one night.

Most of my days were spent by the pool. I would walk to strip after I woke up... then head to the pool for about 5 hours. I laid in the sun, drank in the pool and just watched the eye candy go by. If you ever get a chance to go to Vegas and can stay at the Palms. DO IT.

1. There were so many hot guys just hanging around the pool. Most of them were guidos. I am into that meat head/cocky thing. I don't know why... it might stem back to most of the guys I hung out with played football and were that way.

The casino and resort has just a younger vibe to it. I saw a few adults try and come out and lay by the pool only to leave after a few minutes. There is a DJ out there blasting music. Weekdays it was mostly pop, rock and rap mix. Weekends especially Fridays it felt like a club, but outside and everyone was pretty much naked.

2. Ditch Fridays. This is a promotion that The Palms does. If you stay at the hotel, you get in no questions asked. Otherwise you have to be on a list. This is where you will see some of the hottest bodies in Vegas. Plus the people with not so great bodies watching those with the rockin bodies.



This was not taken by the pool but you get the idea. I pretty much spent my days in the sun watching hot guys walk by. Thank god I had my sunglasses.

Now, Ditch Fridays have become something of a circus. When you come downstairs in the hotel there are bouncers near the entrance. They have a line of people waiting to see if they made the list and another spot for hotel guests to just walk in.

I got into Ditch and it was a fucking circus. The ladies at the pool were pretty much skanky strippers wearing strings. The guys... well I saw some of the hottest guys around the pool. Hot, trim bods. What I don't understand is why all the guys shaved their bodies and then wore a suit too big for them. I mean, I am not complaining but these guys had their swim suits pretty much wide open with the base of their cocks hanging out.

I was with my buddy who had been there for a few days and we started talking with the Miller Lite girls. Ditch gets very crazy on certain Fridays. This was a "tame" Friday. One of the girls had seen full on fucking in the pool and hot tub while everyone just watched. Crazy.

Now, one thing that everyone has asked me (excluding people I work with and my parents) "Did you get laid?" I did not.

I mean... It's kinda sad that I didn't. But I had a good time regardless. I got into some great parties and drank Grey Goose all night for free every night I was there.

I partied at Rain for free and got to hear DJ AM spin for free. He blew my mind away with what he did with his mixes.

I had a good time. I really did. I got to spend time with one of my best friends. Thats what counted for me.

Not the $300 I lost in roulette.

Vegas...



I am in need of a vacation. I don't know if it's a good place to go to relax but I could not turn down a free hotel room in Las Vegas.

A buddy of mine is out there for work and has a free hotel room all to himself. He asked me if I wanted to join him while he was out there and I said yes.

I fly out of JFK on Wednesday and can't wait to get out of the state for a few days and just forget about life and work.

I plan on finishing up my script while I am out there.

Did you just laugh reading that last statement? I did on the inside. My plan is to relax during the day and get some writing done by the pool of the resort I am staying at. The last time I was out there I stayed at The Palms and it was to just party my face off. Which I did.



The guy I am staying with, a fraternity brother of mine, is also a writer and has been helping me with characters in my spec script. All in all my plan is to just relax during the day and party it up at night. Possibly play some blackjack while I am out there. I am terrible at everything else.

All I know is that tomorrow will be one of the longest days of work EVER. It always is right before you go on vacation.

Where Amazing Happens

This is the tag line to the NBA Playoffs right now. My amazing is something different. I really don't give a fuck about guys right now.

I have used this outlet to vent my frustrations about men, dating and everything in between. I have had some interests but that was over a year ago.

Over the last few weeks I have been working on an application to a Fellowship program based out of LA. It's consumed ever inch of my being the last few weeks. I lost myself in the world I created for this one, 22 minute sitcom. After I put everything together I took a look at what I had written. Made changes and sent it to my a friend I know and trust who is a writer.

"JP- I am a huge fan of the show. I laughed my ass off reading this thing"

This was the first response of many.

"wow... really great!!! some of the lines are so spot on that i had to read them a few times and think... did they actually say that on an episode already?! I am very impressed.."

Seeing if they were blowing smoke up my ass I sent it to a friend of mine who I know is just very negative. He even loved it. Well, he started with running commentary on AIM... I told him to finish the whole thing then get back to me. 20 minutes later he said he laughed out loud the entire way though.

Either way, the responses I have been getting from friends who read it love it. I just hope the judges love it as much as my friends who have read it do.

Other than focusing on what I have been writing there isn't much to report to the blog.

Life has been pretty boring.

Good News

Since my "memo" I have some good news from one of my friends. I was his wing man this past weekend. Turns out that the guy he wanted, Jay, had also spotted Anthony from across the room as well.

All I did was say hi and introduce him to my friend and walk away.

Well, I heard last night that they have been talking on the phone almost every day and have a date lined up for tomorrow.

I'm really happy for him! I really hope this works out.

Dear Life-

This memo is in regards to the events of Saturday night into Sunday morning. First, let me thank Karma and Life for all of your hard work in securing employment for the next few months. A steady paycheck is needed to stay on our 2009 Goals. However, the events of Saturday need to be touched upon before moving forward.

Saturday started out great. You really didn't let me get too drunk on Friday night and rewarded me with an excellent screening of the movie, "The Room" (please refer to new blog post for more on this.) I had a great time with my two friends I haven't seen in a while and laughed my ass off.

Please remind me to bring business cards with me wherever I go for "professional type" situations. Even if I am wearing a tshirt and having some strong herb passed my way by a cast member of SNL.

Life delivered some beautiful weather on Saturday. This let me unwind on my fraternity brothers roof deck most of the afternoon. Work on my tan and catch up on bullshitting with a great friend. Those are the perfect types of afternoons that should be re-created more often. Sans roof tops and substitute other locations. Physical activity (ie running, swimming, boating etc) will be greatly appreciated.

Karma really paid off with the traffic lights walking from 34th street up Broadway to go to softball happy hour. My teammates were in a great mood, enjoyed themselves and really had a good time. Life and Karma really pitched in together to deliver Steve. A friend of a friend.

He is cute, athletic and has an amazing personality. Kudos to his team for helping him come out a few months ago and deliver him to the Homosexual Division.

However, an Eagles fan from Philly? Really? That does not conform to my usual standards but will be over looked in light of the rest of Saturday night. The constant, "I just want to do some blow and have some guy suck my dick tonight" comments were a little too much.

At this juncture I would like to address what happened at the bar after dinner. I think that my act as a wing man not once but twice really gave me points on Saturday night. I hooked a friend up with a really cute guy because my friend is shy and I would like to see him find a really nice guy, unlike his ex.

I also, despite being attracted to Steve, hooked him up with two different guys.

When this happens, a man should be sent my way. Please communicate this to Fate and Coincidence ASAP. In this current economic climate I can't have Life, Karma, Fate and Coincidence not working together to meet the common goal of getting me laid or finding me a boyfriend.

Monday afternoon we will all be meeting to discuss how to go about having a better weekend in this regard. Otherwise we had a great weekend.

All the best;

JP

PS- Thank you for working with Billy's team on getting him to the bar on Saturday. Even if it was for only a few hours.
