Happy:

Thanksgiving.

Isn't that such a hilarious picture of a turkey?

I thought so.

Anywho, this may be super trite and boring to you but it seems to be a blogging tradition on THANKSgiving to make a list of the things that we are THANKful for.

I know, I know, it has been done, but I think it is always good to show gratitude for the things you have because it puts you in the mindset to receive more blessings.

And who doesn't want blessings?

Idiots, that's who.

So do you wanna be an idiot?

Didn't think so.

So after you read my list I want you to make a list of your own and post it as a comment.

Cause like Eckhart Tolle said:

"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance."

So here is mine:

1. I'm thankful for all of the spirits that touch my life everyday, from my family (even though they all are having a party on the other side of the country without me! geeze guys), my friends, my co-workers and my little dog Evie.
2. Im thankful for my Macbook, which includes the internet, blogging, Photoshop, Illustrator, Garage Band, Final Cut and iTunes.
3. I'm thankful for music because it is my drug of choice (along with crack (which as you know is wack))
4. I'm thankful for my job, because even though it involves destroying my body at a young age, working inhumane hours on holidays that everyone else has off, and being forced to high five dirty, swine-flu ridden children, I still love it.
5. I'm thankful that my 1994 Honda Accord is still running, even though the engine shuts off every time I come to a stop light.
6. I'm thankful to Lady Gaga for founding a religion I can finally commit to
7. I'm thankful for P.I. Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker (Complete Ballet Score) for providing the soundtrack to this post.
8. I'm thankful that I live on the third floor because, even though it sucks when I have 37 bags of groceries, I feel like I live in a tree house so it's worth it.
9. I'm thankful for books because there are so many I will never run out of stories to read and they look pretty on my bookshelf.
10. And finally I am thankful to you for reading this blog. I put so much time and energy into it and the only reason I do it is for you.

So thank you.

Now it's your turn.

Happy Thanksgiving

Lesson Learned: Problem Solving

After a lot of thought I decided on a series for this month's posts. It will be called "Lessons Learned" and it will be all about the daily lessons that I learn.

Today's lesson is all about problem solving!

For any of you who aren't familiar with the High School Musical breakroom at Disney's Hollywood Studios lemme explain the layout a little bit.

The space serves several purposes. First it serves as a break space, with a common area full of couches and a coffee table. There is also a fridge, microwave coffee maker ect. ect. There are two dressing rooms that extend from the common space for the dancers to change in. In the far corner there is an office for our manager and computer so we can check schedules and things. The largest area of our breakroom is costuming. It is where all of the costumes are kept in bulk and also shoes, boxes and two costumers.

Now, in the past, when we needed an extra shirt or a different size pant, we would walk into costuming and grab it off the rack. Apparently the costuming manager had an issue with that and wanted to keep us from doing it.

SO rather than asking the cast to stay out of the costuming area, they simply installed this:























It is one of those fold out doors like they used in the Titanic to keep the third class passengers in the basement. Now kids, lets talk about problem solving. If you want to keep people out of somewhere, here is my suggestion: tell them not to go there. But instead of solving the problem logically they installed the cage door. Here are some reasons that this doesn't make sense:

1) The door doesn't lock
2) The walls around the costuming area don't go all the way to the ceiling, therefore allowing anyone to easily climb over.
3) There are two other doors in the back that don't lock.
4) It is a fire hazzard
5) It reminds the costumers just how much like prison their job really is.

So there you go kids. Lesson learned.

Raindrops on roses and strawberry mini-wheats...

You know how much I love lists and photoshop. So today I thought I would combine the two and post a list of my top ten obsessions as of late, accompanied by beautiful orb pictures! So what am I waiting for?

1. I love the fall so much. The leaves are better looking, Halloween comes, and the weather changes so I don't have to dance in Africa and more!

2. I know, I talk about it all the time. But HSM3 is gonna be SO AWESOME! Not only the movie but the new show at the studios...hypothetically...I know nothing about it

3. Strawberry Frosted Mini-Wheats are amazing. They are my favorite cereal right now. I love them.

4. This one has already had an entire blog devoted to it. I love you Demi Lovato.

5. With High School Musical 2: School's Out! closing at the studios, there were A LOT of pictures being taken. But lets be honest, dancers are egocentric and take "pics" of themselves all the time anyway. Either way, people have been taking pictures a lot lately and I along with my dear friend Erin have made it our personal mission to get into the background of as many pictures as possible. Try it sometime. It is exhilarating.

6. My favorite lunch lately has been Brie (its a french cheese), grapes, salami, and wheat thins. It is so good. I have been eating extra meals throughout the day just so I can eat more!

7. Lately I have been putting flowers in my room in vases and either the colors, the smell or the increase in oxygen has put me in a better mood. I recommend it.

8. Along with the smell of fresh flowers I HAVE to burn incense. I love the smells they release, they relax me.

9. Having dinner with my Gypsy family is the most enjoyable thing I can think of doing. It feels like family dinner minus the awkward relatives. So comfy and fun and warm. Huzzah.

10. Spending all of the little money I have on itunes is what I do best.

Just so you know that I am still alive!

I just like this picture I took at Steak N' Shake. It has no relevance to the following post.

So I have been majorly slacking in the blogging lately. I'm SORRY! I know I falling too far behind when Josh is posting more frequently then I am!

The problem I guess is writer's block. I have just been extremely unmotivated lately. I have no inspiration for anything to write. Even now I don't really have a point or reason for writing this other than I feel bad that I have left you guys hanging. Assuming that someone reads this blog frequently. According to blogger I have one follower so, one follower...I'm sorry.

I did however add new music to the site. So every time you come to my page you don't hear the same four songs any more.

I am going to end with a list (you know I love lists) of some things I have learned and then as a result taken a cell phone picture of:

1) Test fabric on your skin before you tie it to your forehead for an extended amount of time. You never know how it will leave your skin afterward





















2) The people who name the crayon colors have been given A LOT more artistic freedom as of late, a classic example is "Beaver Brown"





















3) Speaking of artistic freedom, the workers at i Hop are quite creative when it comes to "Birthday Surprises"
















4) Sarah has the worst Tarot Card readings ever




















5) Babies are always cute, even if you don't like their outfits or parents.




















6) If Urban Outfitters doesn't have a bag big enough for your items, they will use a trash bag.

















7) I DO NOT look good in fishnet





















8) Nor with an earring
















9) You can learn to be a confident woman at The Salvation Army





















10) The Princesses are cool and everything, but Nicole likes Goliath better

¡Viva Pinata!

First things first, isn't this the scariest pinata you've ever seen?! Anywho.

So I recently bought a pinata at Target for a party we are going to have soon. Who doesn't love a good pinata? I know I do.

Anywho as I was stabbing the back of his neck (he's a pirate, I named him patchy) and filling him with candy I noticed the tag that came with him. It is full of warnings that I found to be pretty ridiculous/hilarious. I scanned the tag so you could see it. But I will list some of my favorites first:

• First of all the company is called "Party Like Crazy". You can't go wrong with a name like that.
• Under the "safety tips" section it says that when hitting the pinata that one is only to use an official pinata wacker (whatever that is) and never to use broom handles or wooden sticks. Now I have seen a lot of pinatas in my life and never once have I seen an official pinata "wacker". Broom handles are the way to go.
• It also says to gently put down the official "wacker" before rushing into to get the candy. There is no stopping little kids (or drunk adults) when there is free candy on the ground.
• Keep away from open flames. I haven't the faintest idea why but thats what it says

The back of the tab goes on to explain to anyone living under a rock how to play with the mysterious and complicated pinata. Here is the tag so you know I'm not making this stuff up:








































On the same theme I tried to find this AWESOME commercial of this pinata attacking this kid. It was so funny. But alas I can't find it. Maybe it was deemed "inappropriate". In any case it's not there but I have a consolation prize that is pretty funny too.

Cyanide & Happiness...

I dunno about you but every morning I have a routine I go through on the internet. I cannot start my day correctly unless I first complete the following tasks:

1. Check my Myspace, usually sending me into a deep depression because no one writes me.
2. Check my Facebook hoping that it will make me feel better, and usually it doesn't. Curse you online communities!
3. Check my Gmail account. At least JoAnne's craft store loves me enough to send me their latest promotions.
4. Check the temperature and weather for the day to see if I am actually going to have to work that day. No Sun = No High School Musical.
   
5. Then I Check my blog and see if any of my favorite blogs have updated themselves.
6. And finally I check a website called Explosm.net full of hilarious comics called Cyanide & Happiness.

I usually save this website for last because no matter how empty/depressing my other accounts are, this website is always there to cheer me up. They update daily and hit my sense of humor right on target. I love them and I recommend it to everyone. I'd like to share a few of my favorites with you.

*note: you may have to click on them to make them bigger so you can read them. Stop complaining I can't do all the work.

Young Hollywood...

I have a question for all you 20-30 somethings out there: Does "Young Hollywood" make anybody else feel extremely unsuccessful? Sure they all have loads of problems ect. blah blah blah, but guess what? I have problems to, and so do you. The only difference is we make maybe a couple thousand dollars a year (maybe) and Miley Cyrus (who is 15 might I add) is worth $18.2 million US dollars.

I have four words to say to that: ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? When I was fifteen I never had more than 30 dollars to my name and I thought I was high rolling. What would a fifteen year old even do with $18.2 million dollars? When I saw that fact I thought to myself "If I was fifteen and had that much money what would I do with it?" So here is my list:

1. Pay off all of my teachers so I would get A's in all my classes, even P.E.
2. Speaking of PE, pay the school to put my Jr. High PE teacher in the stocks in the middle of the school so he could feel what public humiliation was like on the receiving end.
   
3. Hire a group of people to caravan me (like they do in stereotyped situations of India) back and forth or wherever I fancy.
4. Set aside a small amount of cash (only about 1.5 mil) for vending machine purposes.
5. Buy a parrot and have it trained by a parrot whisperer to speak to me and only me.
6. Officially change our school mascot (the falcons) to the Canyon View Meerkats.
7. Give a lot of money to the theater dept. so our theater/sets would be awesome. As long as I was assured a major spot in anything that happened in the auditorium. Yes that includes assemblies and band concerts. A small throne on the side of the stage would do, as long as everyone rose when I entered/exited.
   
8. Even though all the shirts look the same, buy every shirt Abercrombie & Fitch has ever made and have all the others destroyed. *note, this is me in eighth grade not now. Sorry Abercrombie, not really a fan anymore
9. Have all classes that I don't appreciate, ie: PE, Math, Wood shop, basically anything but lunch and art, permanently removed, leaving the empty classrooms open for the animals.
10. Make all the empty class rooms into animal enclosures for my viewing pleasure.

So that is basically all I would do. And all that probably would only cost like 3 mil at the most! So that would leave me like....um...12 mil? Maybe outlawing Math wouldn't have made such a difference, obviously it didn't help.

Song of the Day...

I'm sorry for the lack of posts as of late. I seem to come down with a nasty case of writers block. But I think, with rest, I am getting over it. Anywho. Todays song of the day is from the AMAZING (notice the larger, bolder, italicized font. She's that good.) Imogen Heap. This woman rocks my world. Ya know what. I think it is time for a list:


Why Is Imogen Heap Amazing?:

1. She sings, plays all the instruments & produces all of her music herself from her house.
2. She wears things like this on a regular basis.
3. Her lyrics make me cry. (this tough exterior is like area 51. It is tough to make me crack)
4. She has a British accent.
5. She has a video blog that she also produces from her house.
6. She is the only one on stage at her concerts, where she sings, plays all the instruments and does things on her apple all at the same time.

I love her. I have seen her live and she sounds EXACTLY the same as she does on her CD. She is so facinating to me and I wish we were best friends. Now for the song of the day I could choose any of her songs and they would all be easily as awesome as the next. But tonight I chose one of my favorites called "The Moment I Said It". It is from "Speak For Yourself" and it is the last track on the album. For some reason this song gets to me. It is so well written and layered. She has people fighting in the background of the bridge (see if you can hear it) and my favorite part is the way she says the smashes. You'll here it in the playlist I am posting below. So enjoy the amazingness for me. (Scroll down to the bottom right hand side of my blog to pause the music that's already playing)

P.S. I am also gonna post a video of her doing a song called "Just For Now". She calls it the "accapella" version, I call it the awesome version.

"The Moment I Said It"

The moment I said it
The moment I opened my mouth
Led in your eyelids
Bulldozed the life out of me
I know what you're thinking
But darling, you're not thinking straight
Sadly things just happen we can't explain

It's not even light out,
But you've somewhere to be - no hesitation
No, I've never seen you like this
And I dont like it, I dont like it, I dont like it at all

Just put back the car keys
Or somebody's gonna get hurt
Who are you calling at this hour?
Sit down, come round, I need you now
We'll work it all out together
We're getting nowhere tonight
Now sleep, I promise it'll all seem better somehow
In time

It's not even light out
Suddenly, you've somewhere to be
No hesitation
Mmm...I've never seen you like this
You're scaring me, You're scaring me
You're scaring me to death

Don't...oh, smash...please
Don't...oh...and another one
Don't...oh...and another one

I'm losing you...I'm losing you

Trust me on this one
I've got a bad feeling
Trust me on this one
You're going to throw it all away
With no hesitation

"Just For Now"

Evie...

So I think that my post about my baby was for some reason deleted so I am going to post a similar one right now.

So I am a father, to the cutest creature to ever roam this here earth. She is a little four-pound yorkie and she is precious. Her name is Princess Evie Gizmo Houdini Chewbacca Schultz. Lemme explain in list form, Cause you know I love a good list:

• Princess: Obvious reasons
• Evie: I have always liked the name and it just kinda fit her personality
• Gizmo: Becuase of her giant ears she looks like Gizmo from the movie Gremlins
• Houdini: This dog can literally escape from any containment contraption I can think up
  
• Chewbacca: She wooks wike a wittle version of Chewbacca
• Schultz: So she can carry on the family name...and if she gets married she will hyphenate her last name.
  

I would go on and on about her endearing personality or how her silvery coat shimmers in the summer sun but I think that the following pictures will do her better justice:

This is Evie flying:




















Oh like father like daughter.

























She's had a long day

I Blame YOU Little Nemo!

Tonight, as I was cooking some dinner I randomly thought of this movie that I used to watch constantly when I was little. Ya know how little kids get a movie they like then put it on loop for the next five years? That was me. It's called "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland". Now we didn't actually own this movie but the older woman that lived next to us did. So whenever her grandkids, who were our age, would come over we would go knock on her door and ask if we could watch the Nemo movie. She would bring us into her living room, give us a bag of gingersnaps (which I never really liked but they were free so of course I ate the entire bag), and popped the movie into the VCR.

This happened a lot and I loved it but, as I think back, this movie seriously freaked me out. Even now, looking back on it, I get the heebies. First of all it is an anime, so it is totally not meant for small children. Cartoon doesn't always equal kid friendly. But I don't blame the old woman cause we would ask for it and she liked the company. Anywho. It is about this kid named Nemo, who lives in London with his neglectful parents. Well On night he is in his bed and it takes flight, out his window and into Slumberland. Now I am a little fuzzy on the details but from what I remember is this:

• He arrives at Slumberland and meets the king (I think his name is Morpheus)
• For some reason, they make him the prince of Slumberland (why not?)
  
• They give him a key to the city that opens any door, but of course there is one he is never to open
• I am gonna let you guess what he does now
• During a grand celebration the Nightmare King, that he just released from the door he wasn't suppose to open attacks
  
• He kidnaps the king
• Nemo has a grand battle and saves him
• It was all a dream...or was it?

Now the whole thing is a little one to many magic mushrooms for me but the thing that really freaked me out was the nightmare king himself. Lets see a screen shot:

















Yikes. It's funny to look at what kids watch now as opposed to what we watched growing up. Maybe thats the reason things are so screwed up now. Thanks a lot Little Nemo. The war in Iraq is your fault!

The "Classics"

I have a question to pose to you writers out there. Do you ever feel like you need to write something but you just don't know what? I am overwhelmed with this feeling at the moment and I can't shake it. It is 1:25 am and let's be honest I am tired as hell. High School/Block Party is a long shift and I would love more than anything to lay in bed and sleep right now but I gotta write for just a sec and see what comes out ya know?

So today at High School, one of our singers had her last show. She was offered another contract on property and is leaving starting tomorrow. It was a sad day because I like the girl a lot. She is amazingly talented though so she does need to move on to bigger and better things, as we all do. Anywho. For our/her last show many of our peers came out to support her and show some love. This was great and touching and Disney magic and everything but it made me realize something: I hate performing in front of my peers. Everyday I shake my junk in front of literally hundreds of strangers. Doesn't phase me. But put me in front of three close friends and I choke! It is kinda ridiculous. They were all standing there, front and center and I was freaking out in my head. I ever started getting like nervous jitters. But they did give us energy to get through that last grueling show of the day so I guess it worked in the end.

Speaking of High School, today in the breakroom they turned on Mary Poppins. I know, ridiculous, as if we don't get enough Disney shoved in our face we watch the movies on our breaks. Beside the point. Anywho I was half watching it/half trying to take a nap. I couldn't follow the movie. One second there are abusive parents, the next some lady is flying around making toys dance around, then there were animated penguins, old men it was all over the place. Needless to say I haven't seen it before. Now before you start throwing chairs and yelling calm it down! I already got it from everyone in the break room today. You say one thing like:

"I've never seen Mary Poppins." and the whole room freaks out like I just said "I like to kill babies and small kittens". It's true I'll say it, I've never seen it! What are you gonna do about it!?

Anywho after the verbal assault I sat in my chair and realized there are a lot of "classic" movies that I haven't seen and, frankly, don't plan on seeing. Lets make a list shall we?

Movies Bry doesn't care that he hasn't seen:

1. Mary Poppins
2. Annie
3. Sound of Music
4. Pride & Prejudice
   
5. Oliver & Co.
6. The Black Cauldron
7. Dirty Dancing
8. Shindler's List
9. Singin' in the Rain
10. Breakfast at Tiffany's
11. Top Gun
12. Psycho
13. Any of the Godfathers
14. Pulp Fiction
15. Forest Gump
16. The Terminator
17. Jaws
18. Gone With The Wind
19. Some Like It Hot
20. It's a Wonderful Life

Just to name a few. Some of them I have seen parts of, other I saw more than ten years ago, all of them are too boring to actually sit down and watch. Who has time to watch old movies when there are so many new ones? I know it is blasphemy but I am going to keep living my life without the "classic" films listed above, and I have no intent to change that fact.

Understanding

Lately something strange has been happening to me. I feel as if something in my thinking has shifted and I am understanding things that, in the past, I didn't. It is everything from emotional concepts to vapid things like movies. The past two years I have lived here I have really grown as a person. For this blog I am going to make a list of all the things that I understand that I didn't before.

• The Fountain
• "Everything" by Alanis Morissette
• When people say they see their parents as real people rather than these grown ups that are impossible to connect to
  
• Loneliness
• How heartless people outside the bubble actually can be
• The Dynamics of a professional work position
• Real Heartache
• Being Aware
• How different some people are from myself
• What inner peace means
• What people are actually doing when they meditate
• The term physically drained
• Sweating so much your shirt is an entirely different color
• How it feels to have no choice but limp
• What it feels like to reference High School as something in the past rather than the future
• How people make decisions because of how they feel about themselves
• How to do grown up things like go to traffic school, open bank accounts and change my oil
• Being alone but not feeling alone
