simons back, back again...

ok so I'm not going to make a big deal out of it or anything cause at this points there are more posts on this blog about how I'm coming back to the blogosphere and for good this time, then long LONG gaps in posts; then there are not posts that say that. so I'm going to try to do a few before letting on that I have done any. See I've matured a lot. so i guess i talk about my professional life/ celebrity status here which at the moment is in both cases a resounding, "wait-what" so here's the quick run down of the past couple years... graduated college -> saved up to move to L.A. -> moved to L.A. -> blew all my money in L.A. -> back to saving up... oh also i got engaged in there at some point. so I'm working at being a toy dealer at the moment which leaves me plenty of time to work on writing and film projects, although i do not. but I'm pretty close to being back to L.A. with the fiance' this time. this summer for sure. unless its not sure in which case ignore that i said for sure. so anyways rather than fill the third paragraph with empty promises (of which i am the Picasso of) i'll jump right to what is usually the fourth paragraph and talk about some media thing i'm into presently. which is the Children's TV show (a little out of my wheel house i know) "Dan Vs." on the Hub. Now for those of you that don't follow the trade mags the Hub is a new children's network owned by Hasbro which is pretty much entirely designed to promote their toys, and they would have probably have gone belly up if not for the inexplicable fan base of their my little pony's show. Dan Vs. is one of their few and far between shows that arnt based off a toy line (yet) and its about an angry guy, Dan, who seeks revenge on things that cause him minor inconveniences. what it has going for it is some great voice actors, Curtis armstron is the titular character, and cause i wouldn't expect you to know off hand that is the guy who played booger in the revenge of the nerds movies, Dave foley as chris dans best friend, i heard he was screwed buy alimony that was established while he was making tons of money on news radio so he pretty much has to work constantly to eat, and paget brewster as chris wife, she was the voice of bird girl on Harvey bird man attorney at law which was just a spanking good show. what i like about watching these is that it has a very nice middle ground of tone. Dan is crazy violent and often wants to murder people for minor things, and unlike most shows that are too worried about violent images this show will have him hurting stangers and pointing guns at people all manner of tom and jerry style antics not currently embraced by mothers, but it also doesn't tip the hand the other way and feel like its intentionally trying to be shocking and violent to express humor. so i got the first season dvd for $6 and am really enjoying it. if you find yourself playing hooky from work one day and flipping channels i'd say check it out, im giving it 12 out of 15 simon stars* (*open market value for simons stars ~ $2.78) aaaaaannnndddd i've forgoten how to end these.... soooooo...... yeah ... bye ....
