I don't need a whole lot's of money.

Grand Funk Railroad - "Some Kind Of Wonderful"

...I think after this past week I understand happiness a little better.

I was happier then.

The Shins - "New Slang"

...the song that will change your life.

A Year Ago Today

I was driving west. Somewhere between St. Louis and Tulsa. A fucking year ago.  Look what we've done in a year. Amazing I think. Of course a lot was sacrificed. I guess it just goes back to the old saying; "Would you rather be rich and sad or poor and happy." I used to always say poor and happy and up until recently that seemed like the road I was on. But now I can see things clearer. A lot clearer. I spent all of my life wanting something, something that to most people seemed ridiculous.  And now here I am on my way of getting what I wanted. You would think I would be happy. Well I am. But I'm also very sad. I've recently found out that life, well it throws shit at you. And most of the time you get hit with that shit. And sometimes that shit makes you really sad. So it really doesn't matter if I turn the next corner and boom...I'm rich. Wether if it's wealth, or success within your passion, rich doesn't overcome sadness. It never will. Because sadness comes from when you lose something that you loved more than yourself. And knowing that you will never have it again will make you sad forever...

-- Steven M. Sims

What do you do now my blue-eyed son...

I punched myself today.  Not on purpose like that stupid Jim Carrey movie.  Just karma slapping me around.  I deserved much worse.

What's on my shuffle?

Bright Eyes  [At The Bottom Of Everything]

Coconut Records  [West Coast]

What's on my shirt?

PEZ

What's on my mind?

Pizza in the fridge and some other things.

Why am I doing this?

Because I'm about as lame as they come.

I just moved.  Here is one of my new drawers.  Exciting huh?

sunglasses -- broken.

trojans -- probably expired in 2003.

remington bag -- awesome.

credit card receipts -- suck.

Another exciting Wednesday night.  Goodnight.

My Humps Day

Official "West Coast" music video by Coconut Records.

I don't know much about the footage in the video, but that doesn't matter.  Listen to the lyrics. I don't know if it will get you through the rest of the week, but it will at least make you think a little.

And I miss you...

Bro-pocalypse Now? ...No thanks.

How I Met Your Mother - No Tomorrow

This was the first episode that I watched since I left Pittsburgh almost a year and a half ago.  I also believe it was the first episode to air after the strike.  It hasn't lost it's touch. Not one bit. Take a moment and check out the full episode.  It might teach you something, I know it did for me.  (full episode on cbs.com)

Smile all the time...

Wilco - "How To Fight Loneliness"

My Girl, My Dream & My Mom

Lohan is pissed and so is my mom...

I hate to spoil a good thing, but sadly it wasn't me in the infamous "Lindsay BJ" photo which hit the web last week. I realized this when I remembered that I haven't been with a chick in over two years. What I was really looking at was a freeze frame from a dream I had the night I saw Georgia Rule. I also found out that this isn't even Lohan, just some hussy who probably was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha during college.  So why are people so angry?

Well for starters no one informed Miss Lohan of the mistake, so she's pissed.  According to The Sun Lohan left several messages on the voicemail of ex-lover Calum Best saying: "I can't believe you would ever fucking do this to me, I should have listened to everyone." -- or at least read the WOW Report.  Opps.

As for my mom.  Well she just wasn't happy with the fact that I used the word "hummer" on the same page as Mr. Rogers.   She knows better than to think that I'm getting any.  Sad, I know.

Monday Hangover

There wasn't a time not too long ago when three day weekends would just blur into a "drunken haze", which no matter what was remembered you knew there was a story and that someday that story would mean something.  Now years later, older, wiser and much fatter, the stories begin to unfold and the times continue to change. Over the weekend the Falco crew held their first Los Angeles premiere which ended in a night of good times, raved reviews and a lot of love.

For the first time Falco Films screened the long awaited Destroying Jonah Hill and I must say the response was fabulous.  An evening of old friends, new friends, young friends and blue friends (lady in blue) came out to enjoy my bad acting and Roach's incredible screenwriting. The film screened at 9:15pm and by 9:52pm the return of a loud, care free nineteen year-old Sims took to the stage.  Six hours later I was passed out on the front porch of the very place where Dylan and I spent so many hours cutting the film.  As I laid there, attempting to put together thoughts of the last six hours, I saw things.  Things from the night that at one moment seemed awesome but now just a blur within a "drunken haze".

I enjoyed last week's 'How I Met Your Mother' episode, No Tomorrow. Not because I found myself doing the same things Ted was doing Saturday night, but because like Ted I have grown away from the small things that forced me to live in fear, but have still found myself falling back into ways I grew out of. It's not bad to fall back into these ways, we just can't stay there long. Unlike waking up on a Monday five years ago, today I woke up and did not regret, but slightly frowned upon the last three days. Sure they were a blast and set the course for the next chapter of my journey, but in no means reverted me back to that guy.  The "Bro-pocalypse" that was once a common lifestyle. See, no matter who we are or where we may be in our journey's, we always have a lot to learn. And most of the time it's things we have already learned and just misplaced along the way.

Thanks to everyone who came out to our first official screening.  I promise there will be many more, so if you missed it hold on a little longer, because we are far from the end with this flick.

Matt Casta - "Mr. Pitiful"

P.S. I'm sorry if I broke anything in your house Dylan.  That includes hearts.

Chubarama: A blog dedicated to chubby men, silverdaddies, hairy bears, and heavyset celebrities!

I must say this is a one for the books. Very flattering, but I told myself if I ever go gay it would be with Spilner. Thanks to Chubarama for the plug.  For their enjoyment I posted one of my more sexier photos.  Enjoy...

Fan Of The Week

 

This weeks Boil fan of the week is the lovable Mike Sims, from the Republican state of Ohio. Don't worry folks, Mike doesn't role with those right winged gay haters. But he does drive a sweet Mustang convertible that I know a certain someone would love to take for a drive but never can because it does nothing but snow in the mid-west. Maybe that Mustang will show up in Falco's driveway someday.  We can only hope.

Top -- Mike enjoying a strawberry daiquiri in fabulous Las Vegas.

Bottom -- Mike, his beautiful wife Laura and his single and handsome son enjoying some of the finer things in life.

I'll Believe In Anything

Believe in anything this weekend.  Why?  Because in my past experience, March 21, 22, & 23 have always been beautiful days.  Enjoy...

Happy Birthday Fred!

Happy 80th Birthday to my hometown buddy, the late Mr. Rogers.

My Girl

Does it really matter if this is Lindsay Lohan or not?  All I know is that it was the best hummer I've had since Cancun '05.

My Humps Day

I don't know about you, but a little Freddy Mercury always makes my week go by faster. Hopefully this helps everyone get through the last three days. (Two if your CEO is Catholic -- Thanks Jesus!)

Hollywood Studs

Actor Justin Theroux, who can be seen in HBO's excellent seven part mini-series, John Adams, will have his film writing debut this summer with the opening of Ben Stiller's, Tropic Thunder.  From the looks of his resume it seems like things are finally starting to look up for the writer/actor.

In other news, actor Mike Roach, who can currently be found sucking down white russians with a cute blonde at Brennan's Pub in Marina Del Rey, will have his film writing debut this Saturday with the premiere of Falco's own Destroying Jonah Hill.  From the looks of his resume we are not a bit surprised that he is wasted most of the time.

Destroying Jonah Hill Trailer

WOW, you look just like Jonah Hill...

Thanks to my good friend and editor of the WOW Report, Stephen Saban, for helping plug Falco's newest comedy, 'Destroying Jonah Hill', which screens for the first time this Saturday, March 22nd in Los Angeles, California.

Jack is Back

Jack Black will be hosting this year's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards live from Hollywood, California on Saturday, March 29, 2008.  An inside source who worked with Black says he likes Dr. Pepper.  The inside source is also handsome, single and has no direct contact with Jack.  (Of course while booming him I'm pretty sure he laughed at my slime sound joke.  I know Liam Lynch did.)

Your Dad!

Falco friends, Jonah Hill & Jeremy Tague, enjoy an old stand by...fucking your dad. Tague of course chooses to cover his identity while admitting to the shocking act, while former New York governor, Eliot Spitzer, still wonders why he didn't consider using a pineapple head while enjoying his time with Ashley Durpe.
