I'm back!

Hello everyone!

Greetings once again from a nice, warm California climate! It's great to be back in the warmth.

The inauguration was fantastic and Sean and I had a great time and got some awesome footage. The website, www.barackdoc09.com, is being updated this evening and will soon have all the up-to-date changes.

Just for fun, take a look at some of the questions asked of me today on a job application for the Disney Corporation. They are pretty funny....

I'm TIRED!

Today was a long, stressful day.

I had a Red Cross class all day long for a group of 15 ESL and Special Needs Adults. On top of that, half of them were dyslexic. I'll be spending my evening relaxing and trying to fill out alot of paperwork.....

Inauguration is sneaking up quick! Holy cow...I can't wait!

More to come soon. To all my friends in Wisconsin, stay warm since you don't have all that school to worry about....

Wow...I cannot believe there is only a week (less than, actually) until I am heading off to Washington DC to record the Inauguration!

Quick Updates

1. I ran into Jennifer Aniston at the post office the other day. It was pretty exciting.

2. I'm super glad Spielberg picked up the highest honor at the Golden Globe Awards tonight. There was a very nice, fitting montage that went with his speech...all of which were neat to witness.

3. For those of you that didn't hear, my friend and tech buddy Jake Kulba came out to Calfornia last week to visit with his family and friends and had the opportunity to come say hello to me in Hollywood for a day. We had a great time, and below is a picture of us hanging out!

Caught on TV...again!

Last November, when Sara came to visit me, we went to a few filmings of "Masters of Illusion" - a new show being produced by the MYNetwork. The shows were fantastic and very enjoyable. This past Monday, the first episode aired...which we were not 'technically' on. However, thanks to Hollywood magic...the editors decided to pull one of the routines from our 'episode' and place it on the premiere night.

Below is a clip of some awesome audience members they found during the filming :)

Yes, I'm Alive!

Wow...it's been a while since I posted. Alot of you know that I don't update my blog when I was home, and I was indeed home for the winter break. It was a very nice and enjoyable trip back home, and as usual, it was sad to leave.

Life right now is going well back in Hollywood. I'm once again getting into the swing of things and on the constant search for some new industry jobs. Rumor has it that I may be offered a job at a new school teaching under a different group than the one I am currently with...we'll see how that goes.

Today I traveled to the Post Office to find that they had ran out of stamps. Yes, you read correctly. The POST OFFICE ran out of stamps!! How? Apparantly a BIG group came in right before myself and a few others and bought them out. We could wait for a few hours or 'go to a different place'...so I got to explore the other side of LA today at the wonderful Post Office.....

I experienced MORE disappointment today when I found out that the "Pepsi Points Promotion Program" (that's alot of Ps!) has now ended. Over the last year, I have been accumulating a TON of points...since I am an avid drinker of Pepsi One. Sadly, the points expired on the 31st of December and nobody bothered to tell us..... :'(

Last, but not least, I am continuing to make preparations for my trip to Washington DC at the end of this month. I really cannot believe it is coming up so fast...but I am very excited and I know Sean and I will have some great opportunities while we are out there. A logo that was created for the movie is below. Special thanks to Michelle Rehak for her assistance in making it.
