This is not a real post.

in Random crap

Joaquin Phoenix is kind of an idiot.

Also, I don’t keep up with the news but apparently Barack Obama is getting a puppy!  And something about him winning something too.  Some kind of raffle, I think.

Comment of the day: I don’t think it’s “retiring” when you’re 34, I think that’s just quitting. Otherwise, I’ve retired a lot of jobs. ~ Emmysuh

Bless his dyslexic heart.

I heard Obama is going to Disney World. Do you think that he won that trip? Maybe that’s what he won! I hope he knows that those “win” things are a scam. Poor guy. Hate to think of his kids having to sit through long drawn out speeches where they try to sell stuff.

On and on Joaquin… maybe he was answering himself. You know… “Bye!” “Good… we don’t want you here anymore anyway” but he probably ran out of fingers and had yet to receive his dead hobo fingers from eBay.

Oh and can someone PLEASE tell him that he isn’t ACTUALLY Johnny Cash. He just played him in a movie… which wrapped several years ago.

Who announces their retirement like that? I mean if “I” was going to retire, I’d certainly let my people start rumors first … and then mysteriously disappear … for a day or two at LEAST. Then I would plan a press conference to announce it and then the next day, I’d secretly take the deal that Oprah’s production company offered to me and let the rumor mill start all over again.

Gosh … doesn’t he know anything about Hollywood antics?

Wow, he wins the presidency and they throw in a free puppy? I’ve never gotten a free puppy when I started a new job. I usually just get pens and mousepads and stuff like that. Maybe this is part of some new economic stimulus package. Start a new job, get a free puppy. Not exactly sure how that stimulates the economy. Maybe something to do with more jobs for vets.

who did you say won the raffle? because honestly, i dont think its fair that he could buy more tickets than me…it just cause hes rich…thats some kind of “ist” isnt it?? “poorist” maybe? whose that guy that was talking about change? maybe he can make them stop bein “poorist”? o…wait…never mind, thats socialism.

btw, i love you jenny. not in a weird way, at least i am pretty sure its not weird. no, its not weird (i heard if you say something in a difinitive way, ppl are less likely to question you…) its like boys and their “bromances”, you know? i have a “brocrush” on you. =] .

As for the Obama children and their dog… well, I’m a cat person, first. I do have 5 cats and 2 dogs, so I’ve still got enough love for slobbering, goofy mutts.

My problem with the dog is that he announced it in the victory speech. It felt like I was watching G.W. Bush speak for a moment. I guess he was playing to the people for an “American as apple pie” moment. Blah. I’m glad for the change, though.

Anyway, Joaquin’s not kind of an idiot. He’s definitely is an idiot. Why anounce retirement? Just take a break like the rest of Hollywood.

I missed the puppy announcement since I was at work. How exciting for him! :o )

96 Tiggerlane November 5, 2008 at 4:35 pm

Okay – Mom and I are arguing about the puppy. She thinks the daughters will get to pick. Something cute and fluffy, like poodle or Bichon or Lhasa whatchamacallit. I am thinking more “hound” – like a beagle, or maybe a terrier – or maybe just some stray mutt from the pound.

I am embarrassed to think that when I first saw this photograph, I thought it was Vincent Gallo and I was HUGELY relieved that he was leaving the film business. Though on second thought, if Mr. Gallo wanted us to know he was leaving, he probably wouldn’t have written “BYE GOOD” on his fingers, if you catch my drift…

Last time I won a raffle I didn’t get my child a dog. I feel like the worst parent of the world now. *sigh*

Next time I win a raffle I’ll buy Jaqlyn Kota the dinosaur, that expensive new toy. HAHA Beat that Obama!

anyone know where I can find a raffle going on?

I’m just pissed that his recent weirdness has completely invalidated my desire for him to have his wicked, dirty way with me against a wall. Or on a car. Or in a graveyard. Or all three.

I should have known lusting after him was a dangerous game. He’s very prone to bloat, which is possibly more unattractive than his obvious mental instability.

Obama? Don’t let those other schmucks tell you lies about Publisher’s Clearing House, the Nigerian Lotto and whatnot. The man won an extreme kickboxing championship against an old guy who was statistically dead when they both signed up for the championship. Not that big of a deal, if you ask me. My three year-old could take down a statistically dead guy for fuck’s sake.

Why do you have to say bye good? You aren’t trying to leave life in the spotlight, just changing which spotlight you want on you. Bye good means your packing up and going to live in the artic tundra, or the Australian Outback. Not just attempting to change spotlights.

And seriously, how many of these actors music pans out? Thats why you went into acting to begin with…because your singing didn’t get you noticed.

You are so, so right. Bye. Good. Bwah.

Here’s the deal. I’m not leaving this comment on anyone else’s blog but yours, and I’m only doing it to yours because I think you’ll come up with a better response than any other blogger. Except maybe Anne Nahm. And also New Girl. You guys would totally be neck and neck. Anyway, I just put a post up on my blog asking for secrets and confessions, to be published anonymously next week. It’s kind of complicated, but I lay it all out on my blog.

Right now I sort of feel like I’m the loser nerd in high school attempting to ask the homecoming queen to prom. Now that I’ve made a total fool of myself, maybe I’ll go do it to Anne Nahm and New Girl.

Whenever I think of knuckle tattoos, I recall some random stranger’s personal web site I accidentally stumbled upon years ago, where he said he had “HATE” tattooed on the knuckles of his left hand, and “AMBIVALENCE” tattooed on the knuckles of his right hand.

He’s no Johnny Cash that’s for sure.

I saw that picture and just hoped for his sake that he was sticking out his left fist first for some reason, and you just had to be there. Anyway, I’m still not sure why this is news, apart from the fact that I’m sure he’ll be in three movies in 2010 no matter what he says now, but it’s still funny.

And I believe Mr. Obama hasn’t won anything of note since the coveted title of Most Unlikely Name of a U.S. President Ever at his high school. I’m sure if he was to have received any further accolades in the 30 years since, the appropriate authorities would have alerted the media.

First of all, I know there’s not much to work with when you only have eight fingers with which to get your message across, but seriously? I think he would have definitely benefitted from playing Scrabble a bit more.

Secondly, what a tiny bottle of water! The only thing that could get any use of that would be a midget clone. In which case, I really hope he won’t be taking his master’s place in showbiz.

Seriously, that is the sweet guy from Parenthood and Signs and The Village? I know he’s a bit ‘quirky’ but I kinda liked him.
Am I just being totally naive here?

143 little j November 12, 2008 at 12:17 am

you know, it just occured to me that maybe he *overthought* it. maybe we arent giving him enough credit. i am told i overthink things alot, and i am sure that is more obvious because of this comment, but, really maybe he was using a mirror and was thinking that he had to be sure to have the letters right. technically, when using a mirror, he would have had them on the right side…the letters would have been a little backwards, but he was so focused…ok, i know, im stretching it to defend my own inability to let things go…huh…i tried…
