#Randombling: This shit aint easy

Randombling: A 5 minute long unedited random stream of consciousness produced by a nerd for nerds.

#nowplaying: Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party

 

Holy shit this stuff is hard. How is it that so many crappy movies even get made in the first place?! For real ... the margin for errors is so great, and even just the chance of potential suckery, I'm really shocked that anything gets done. Well, I guess I can say the same for the human race. How is it there are so many retards in this world, and yet - they figured out how to reproduce. Absolutely ASTOUNDING!!!

 

I don't really know what is going on, since I am too involved with "the social media thing" but when I tell people my ideas for where this is going, and what we are doing with the film - even on a very non-technical level, they freak out. Then I say, I just want people to be awesome and explore their creativity like I did myself with TNTML as a whole ... hence celebrating unapologetic awesomeness, they freak out again. I just keep doing what feels good in life, and I kinda don't give a fuck about the rest. I'm a crazy passionate bitch who has absolutely nothing left to lose, and more ambition than a hooker in Harlem trying to make rent. I don't know how all of these things are getting done, and how all these people are now listening ... but I'm kinda digging it. Do you not realize the world has changed because we have changed the way people receive their information!?!? Social media is the new media - the entertainment industry HAS to listen, or yes - it will die. Well, maybe not die .... just evolve past the point of recognition. The movie and everything aside, we are on to something here ... don't quite know what it is just yet ... but MEEEE LIKKEEEYYYYYYY!!!! From the bottom of my nerdy heart, thanks a heap guys!!! Couldn't do this without you. You have no idea how amazing it is to keep going knowing there are so many people around the world to share it all with. I'm going to get all Hallmark and Lifetime movie, but man oh man, I love you guys!!! ... I have one last thing to say ... HIT IT MUSE!!!

An #Unapologetically #Awesome Night in #WeHo

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan

Guys, I had an amazing night last night! Your nerd queen Jen Friel and I went to Eleven down in West Hollywood to dance to some amazing music spun by Mr. Christian Wheel.

 

 

Drinking, dancing, and just carefree fun! We may or may not had a little too much to drink, but hey! It's all part of the fun. Christian Wheel is also an awesome guy. He's super cool and an awesome DJ. Not to mention he totally rocks the nerdy glasses. Bravo dude! Click here to check out Christian's website. Also, don't be afraid to check this club out! Eleven is a great place to go to get away from the pressure of life and just drink and enjoy yourself. There's plenty of male go-go dancers too if you're into that. #justsayin

 

But, yes... GREAT NIGHT!

#Facebook likes moved to your main page

DUDDESSS!!! Looky, looky what I just noticed on my Facebook page ...

Marky Mark and his Facebook bunch moved the "likes" to your left hand navigation. Obviously, to replace the extended info box ... but REALLY?!?!! I don't know if I like this ... I've liked some pretty weird groups in the past, and now you're just making me aware of said weirdness. I feel like this won't end well.

Inheritance, schmeritance

I had a really rad conversation with my mom this afternoon regarding my dad's mom that kinda got me thinking about things.

 

See, my dad's family and I never had a relationship. Now, my dad's mom is quite ill - and who knows how much longer she will grace us with her presence. I told my mom today on the phone that I'd like to be kept up to date, and even told her about friending my dad's sister on Facebook. She didn't freak out, but just went on a mini-tirade about how they are thieves, and slimey people that she wants nothing to do with. I heard the same thing come out of her mouth that I have heard since I was 13, and all of it came to a point. See, they were never really nice people - but when I was 13 they did some pretty sneaky things to my dad that cut us all out of an inheritance. We're from Connecticut people, and we still have a family home in Ireland ... this isn't the 2 figured type of inheritance you received in the form of a bond when you were born and hope to one day collect on. This is the real deal.

 

Don't get me wrong, I do think it was uber shady what they did to my dad, but come ON it's been 12 years. I'm not saying that they won't do it again, or that they have somehow become nicer people ... I'm just saying WHO CARES?!?!?!!!!! Why would I want an inheritance from people that I had no relationship with? Dude, this is in writing - and I'm sure can be admissible in court ... just keep me out of your bullshit. I spent half my life drugged up and in therapy because of those people, and now I'm not on a single prescription, and my only high is life. Feels pretty damn GREAT!!!! I just heard today how much anger my mom still holds towards them, and it reminded me of that Japanese proverb about anger being like a hot coal. Holding on to it only hurts you. It's so true!!!!! At the end of the day, we don't take anything with us - so who cares!? I really do hold everyone in a place of unconditional love, and fuck, I'm about to be set for a very long time. So, why take money or homes when I'll just build my own compound? I can't argue with my mom on it - because as is, I'm working on rebuilding our relationship ... but I can't help but to think how sad all of this is. Life is so precious. No matter what your family dynamic may be ... we are not our family!!! There is no obligation for any one or anything to receive ANYTHING from ANYONE when they die. Sure, it's nice and lovely ... but why would I want something based out of birth right. I work incredibly hard, and I'll take my happiness and my own personal sense of satisfaction any day of the week.

The #Nerd Shall Inherit the Earth!

 Looky, looky!!!

 

 

I was never the coolest kid in school - never the biggest *insert new deragatory term to describe one who is least popular*, either. I was always stuck somewhere in the middle. However, seeing something like this as a PSA makes my LIFEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! OHMYGATOS!!!!!!!!!!! It took me until the age of 24, almost 25, and a gnarly quarter-life-crisis to fully embrace my nerdness in all its glory. However, I can honestly say ... I've never been happier. Things fall into place when you go with the flow of life. Anywahoodle, watch this!

 

 

GO NERDS GO!!!

 

*slow clap*

 

 

Oh yeah, and nerds are a product of a genetic predisposition - geeks are raised. #NuffSaid

 

Thx a heap for the tweet, Andy!
