OBSSESSION

Ok.
You could say I am obssessed.
Hi. My name is Travis and I am obssessed with uploading videos to YouTube.
This is the best thing ever and also a very addictive thing.
I want to share videos with the WORLD.
You all know me and I try to hold hostage anyone that will sit still to show them something on DVD, right?
Well now the WORLD is my hostage for movie clips!!!
It couldn't have been a better thing!
I search on the site for random stuff, and, if they don't have it, I upload it.
It's surprising how much stuff ISN'T on YouTube yet.
So much fun.
Check out my and Bri's pages. We uploaded some good stuff.
To the left of this post, you will see I heaved the Southern Brides feature in exchange for a direct link to my YouTube page. There, you will find a wealth of useless videos, all for your viewing pleasoooore.
On the Back-To-Earth note:
Laura had surgery this past Friday on her knee and she is doing ok. All monetary donations, flowers, candy can be sent directly to me. I'll make sure she gets 'em.
D and I are getting closer and closer to getting the hell up OUTTA this hellhole called SC. More details to come on that.
Nothing much else is new, so birds, enjoy the rest of your weekend and I leave you with a random clip.
Can ya guess who's in it?

Happy B-Day, Yo B!!!

Today is a momentus day, as Jennifer K. Norwood was birthed.
A large shout-out and big birfday wishes to her today from Orlando, FL.
We here with Bri and Mel, and D has an interview for a job in Gainesville, FL and then West Palm Beach, FL coming up (we go home this coming Wednesday).
Anyways, back to our birthday girl.
Hope she has a great day today and a fab weekend. I know Fanny is there to kick it up another 20 notches, so you two birds cut a rug fo' us!
Finally Jen, just some words for you:
Lloyd says you and John have a free stay at his Honeymoon Suite at his lodge whenever you wanna use it (for your bday).
Secondly, Jackie says that she has sent you a complimentary basket of muffins. She said she would have to deliver them herself though (maybe in the form of a cross eyed beauty queen in a pink bikini), because the basket girl, well, "lost her head" recently!
HAPPPPPY BIRFFFFFDAY, JENNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!

Oh, Hollywood

So, the Oscars are over and I have already posted on my Myspace blog about this, but the big upset for the night was Crash winning Best Picture over Brokeback Mountain.
Not that Crash doesn't deserve this distinction.
It was a very important film to get out there.
Brokeback was just a very important film to me.
To other gays out there.
I am stepping off the soapbox now in fear of rambling for PAGES.
Another upset was damn Reese Witherspoon winning Best Actress.
I know this category was slim pickins this year, but REESE WITHERSPOON?!?! The star of Legally Blonde 2 and crap like Just Like Heaven??!?! UGH!
I saw Walk the Line.
Not so good. She was being the same character she always plays, except THIS time, GASP!, she used her native Tennessee twang to capture the "country-ness" of June Carter.
Whooptee friggin doo.
Pure crap. Even her acceptance speech was wooden. Oh honey, you have really struggled through life, having a mom and dad who are a successful doctor and lawyer, being married to a superhot guy, and raising to cute, chubby little kids.
Maybe the fact that you are too PERFECT is what is your struggle in life.
Ah, how horrible.
Gotta love the musical performances too.
Dolly was awesome as always although her song wasn't much of anything.
That damn Crash musical number was TOO MUCH. I was laughing all the way through it.
Bri called when we got to the performance of 'Hard Out Here for a Pimp' by, ah, who gives a shit.
A buncha rappers in baggy jeans and sideways caps. Watching a ho strut her stuff next to lamp posts on the Oscar stage with Dame Judy Dench in the audience was good enough for me. I imagine The Dame raising the roof and pouring a 40 in the aisle for all the fallen Pimps out there.
Phillip Seymore Hoffman for Capote, Best Actor: Haven't seen the film. When they played his clip, PSH was doing his best Mickey Mouse impersonation in a suit and tie. Breathtaking. I doubt the real person he was portraying sounded THAT MUCH like a nasally cartoon character and threw his hands around all crazy-like.
Heath Ledger ain't Deniro, but I would have liked him to have won Best Actor if they snubbed Brokeback for Best Picture.
Ah, well.....
What do I know?
It was just nice for important films to be recognized this year.
Ones that aren't just period pieces or about pianos and their tortured players. That shit gets old.
In recognition of crazy Hollywood, I post the following video below.
I think it is fabulous and is what I call HARD HITTING JOURNALISM.
Get to tha trooof, girl!

Update!

The weather here has been so nice lately that I have almost forgot where we're living.
As I type this, the clouds are starting to roll in.
Yep, I officially jinxed that notion.
Stream of random thoughts coming up:

1. Target has some good-ass cereals. Just went back today to their clearance rack and bought up 3 boxes of their Cherry Pecan cereal. Also got their white chocolate raspberry cereal too. Also, got some new Archer Farms bottled wata's too! Some bitchin' new flavas.
2. Amazon marketplace has been good to D and I lately. Have been selling books and dvds pretty frequently lately, makin' da casha.
3. While I been makin' da casha that way, I have been burnin da casha by gobbling up discount used DVDs online-Ray got me hooked on Strangers With Candy and I got em' all now. SUCH a damn good show. Movie should be out this summer-gotta see it. (Think they're making a box set of the show down the line too-dammit)
4. Doing some art. D has helped me make some bitchin' frames for my John Waters paintings which I shall be premiering here and on Myspace real soon. I actually ventured in the fabric store for these frames. (Mel, pick jaw up off floor).
5. I LOVE Myspace! I am an addicted junkie and feel like a 15 yr old girl again! tink tink
6. Back to art: I am trying to come up with a t-shirt design for the Buffy Track at this year's Dragon Con in Atlanta. GEEEEEEEEEEEEKy, yes. Am I wholeheartedly into it? But of course! So, SUCK IT!
7. Called back the library here in town to check up on the job I applied for and followed up previously on a month ago. They are still accepting apps. Fucking MAYBERRY here, people!
8. There is a light at the end of the tunnel of torture here though...more on that in a soon to be future post.

Finally, and most importantly: yesterday, I ALLLLMOST got myself to go outside walking. I cleaned up our front yard a bit and ALLLLLLLLmost decided to go for a walk. Key word being almost.

This concludes my random post for today.

Sayanara!
