So I was falling down at my Sidewalk Tweetup and my phone went to this blogsite web post about things this booty would tell her 17 year-old self and I started rolling around on the sidewalk thinking about my list.
So here are the things I would say to the me that is 17 and these are in an order that is not particular for you.
Oh also I grouped them in a way that is how I think the conversation might go.
- Keep working and your muscles will happen to you.
- I guess one day you will have a time machine and do this too.
- Don’t make any paradoxes happen, like come to see you tomorrow and not that the same time I’m here right now.
- Sell PCBM at 1.90 cause the next day it’s going to have one of those bad days and go to .00019 and stay there forever.
- Just stay away from penny stocks in general maybe?
- Hey can I cut you on your arm and then like we will see if a scar appears on my arm in real-time.
- Look what I did to our shoulder with a tattoo. lol
- You should invent Twitter and get money dollars for doing it.
- Also you need to make up Lost and Gossiping Girls because people love those shows.
- That time you break your face – don’t do that one. Also that’s a spoiler so I can’t tell you when that happens.
- One day Bill Walton will play your daddy in a movie.
- Oops spoiler space – sorry about that one, Lil’ Bri.
- Can I call you Lil’ Bri.
- Hey Lil’ Bri we should go see Mom and Dad right now and give them heart attacks. lol
- Where is our girlfriend and is it weird if I go on an excitement date with her tonight.
Those are all the ones I can think of right now but maybe I will do another part to the list later.
Would you say anything to a 17 year-old me and if you did would it be exactly what I did except maybe a little different because he’d be all like “who are you lady”. lol
I was talking this weekend with a book reader, and the book they had read was mine.
This was my first book – the one where I admit I’m deceptively muscular.
They were like, “what does that mean” to me in their live broadband video note, and I was wearing a baggy sweatshirt so I showed them this picture.
“Is that even the same guy,” is what their face meant to say, and then they wanted to know some famous people who maybe had this condition, also.
Joel McHale took his shirt off on Community and now he has a DM trophy. Ben Affleck could be DM if he wanted to.
Ryan Reynolds was DM until he just started having his shirt off all the time, which made it undeceptive.
That’s the big-time temptation of being DM. There’s an urge to let everyone know, like how I put in that hazy picture above or how the Force goes bad guy for some people in Star Trek.
Also me and Joel (and Christian Bale sometimes) work really hard to get like this so if you’re naturally muscular or (especially) blatantly muscular, you’re boring.
Go to the dog pound!
I am really having the crazy day this time on my dot com blog. lol
(This is my current phone b/g – I am all in on CLE basketball.
Also, this post was edited, cause it was even worse before, if you can believe that.)
So I’ve been on a few airplane rides over the past week, and on the longest of them, I spent time sitting with a girl who spilled whiskey on my leg.
She was a lot of fun, I asked if I could call her Sara, and we became best friends for 4+ hours.
We told our cool stories about our lives, and analyzed the personae of everyone around us in the most stereotypical manner possible.
After a bunch of time doing that, it was the part of the airplane ride where Sara spilled the whiskey on my leg.
I screamed, “OH NO THERE’S WHISKEY ON MY LEG!” over and over until the airplane waiter came back and asked what was wrong.
I repeated, “Oh no…there’s whiskey on my leg…” except quiet and sad this time, so Sara could see the different kind of inflections I could make my voice do.
That’s like an actoring tip. Sorry if this is hard to read.
@InflatableBen is in jail, too. The fact that these two are clearly not really Ben Wallace and Jerry Rice – and never, ever claimed to be – has eluded el Twitter.
Crippling to Team Mamba where Ben is concerned. Very disappointing – hope they clear this up.
I will get to the important issue of the Who Shot Mamba? iPhone app being available tomorrow. (Click here to go get it in the iTunes Store – it’s 100% FREE.)
In the meantime, old friend Bjorn of Half Broke Hotel shared an article with me about one of my most anticipated films of this year, The Expendables.
It features some of the biggest names of the genre – including Arnold Schwarzenegger, 62, Bruce Willis, 54, Dolph Lundgren, 52, Mickey Rourke, 57, Jet Li, 46, and Jason Statham, 37.
It also stars Brittany Murphy, who died in December of a heart attack.
Of course her death isn’t funny, but the article is all about how horrific the stunts were, the “tough legends” that have banded together, and how Stallone fractured his neck during the shoot.
If you read it all the way through, the placement of that sentence and the context makes it seem like she died of a heart attack during the shoot because she couldn’t handle how intense the shoot was.
WHERE TO WATCH THAT ISN’T SET UP YET (Should be by the end of this week – will let you know when it’s ready.)
iTunes
Tivo
Verizon Fios
DVD
We’re doing two DVDs – the first is totally bare-bones and will be available in early-December. Just the movie and the teasers, and maybe a couple extras – I might throw the mess of a script on there, actually.
The second DVD will be available later, if it’s warranted. This would have (probably) a couple commentaries, deleted scenes, bloopers, re-shoots, etc. We have a ton of material that would be really interesting – if you’ve read Prelude to a Who Shot Mamba, you know this.
DOWNLOAD OF THE FULL FILM
This will hopefully be right around the same time as the first DVD is available.
Thanks so much for all the kind words here and elsewhere – the response has been fun to see, and we all super appreciate it. Promise I will get back to more eclectic writing here – just been super busy with all this Moomba business.
So at the end of this post, there’s an embed for Chapter 1 of the broadband motion picture, Who Shot Mamba?.
Before we get there…
1) This Prelude to a Who Shot Mamba? ebook tells the entire history of the project. From blog, to 5-minute short, to full-length feature film – all in just over 3.5 years! It’s a quick 25-page read, and it’s free and fun.
2)Join the Facebook page – there are screengrabs, cast photos, and hopefully discussions that say things like, “I like this. You people did a good job. Also, you appear deceptively muscular to me.”
3) On the WSM? homepage, you can find links to all of our social networking stuff, and other business of note, including the full release schedule. Basically, we’re weekly for nine weeks, excluding two around X-Mas – we may run some deleted scenes or other fun stuff during that time.
Ummm…thanks to everyone who worked on this, and all of you who stuck with it through its tumultuous birthing process via my old site YAYsports! NBA…here it is. Smiley face.

A lot of people asked me why these were the chosen ones, and like the answer is “because”. There are also new behind the scenes production photos on the Facebook Page, so like go there and now I will go to sleep.
This is easily the most pretentiously awesome thing I’ve ever done – please take it as it’s intended, i.e. as pretentiously awesome.
So like sorry I haven’t been around this week, but I have been really active in my social networks, so it’s not like I’m absent.
It’s interesting – like we’re in the process of building the WSM? website, but the Facebook Page is also in existence, and has everything one could want from your own page – easy to create photo galleries, video upload, message board, and more.
On top of that – and of most importance, really – the people are already there, and spreading word is as easy as one click for them. I mean, obviously you need a homepage, but does it really matter if anyone watches it there or somewhere else. I don’t think so.
I dunno – just something to think about wrt all this changing stuff de la 2009. What’s the most pretentiously awesome thing you’ve ever done on a computer.
