Hiking in the Hills And Celebrity Sitings

I was feeling super tired and lazy today, but I got motivated to for a hike after I reminded myself that I need to lose like 15 lbs before I leave for Europe in June. It was a gorgeous sunny California day, about 75 degrees. John- my impossibly adorable main gay- and I went to Griffith Park. I didnt feel like going to Dog Sh*tsville, a.k.a Runyon Canyon.( That place really does smell of the piss of a hundred and one dogmations). It also smells of wanna be's...a mixture of Axe body spray and desperation. On a better note-there are so many plants in bloom right now , so every once in a while some delicious smell would waft beneath my nose. Jasmine vines hang heavy with their cute white blossoms, every tree's buds are bursting, and grapefruits and tangerines are plump and ready to pick. The citrus gives off this amazing smell too. I try to really indulge in these natural scents! There are no man made perfumes or scents that can really compare. John and I dished on all the drama surrounding our crazy group of friends. I bitched about not having a job. Then I just laughed at myself. No one is happy with their employment/money/love life right now. Are they? I don't really know one person that's "got it all." I mean, do you?! I am a pretty positive person, and I try to always see the silver lining. Like , for example, right now I am with out a steady job. But I am rich with time! I have time for myself, to hike, to laugh with my friends, to explore my talents, to go to the beach and drink a Corona, or read a book. My freedom, the ability to have options, to get up and go is super important to me. Or maybe it's just that I haven't found anything yet to tie me down?! Ugh, when am I going to fall in love? I'm so sick of this single life. It was cool for a hot minute, but Im so over it.
So anyway after I went hiking I went to the Gelson's grocery market in Franklin Village, and had a celebrity sighting! Yes I did see Ms Christina Ricci buying yogurt in the dairy section. John and I were trying to find the cheapest fresh salsa that was there ( which was like $4...it freakin GELSON'S ok?!), and complaining that the cheapest bottle of wine was like $7, when I looked over and saw that adorable unmistakable face. I wanted to tell her I LOVED her as Wednesday in The Addams Family and Addams Family Values, but I didn't. She was with a tall guy who looked cute enough. Apparently that's her fiancee! An actor by the name of Owen Benjamin. Never hear of him, but they are supposed to be in a movie coming out later this year called "All's Faire in Love". Whenever I see celebs here, I try my best not to stare at them. To act cool, nonchalant, and aloof. I don't know why I do this- I guess it's because I don't want to seem corny and star stuck. Like the other day I saw the guy who plays the gay best friend to the goth reject girl in Mean Girls. I don't know what his name is. I was at the Lemon Grove Farmers Market, down the street from my house, and there he was getting lettuce. I looked at him and thought he was someone i knew from my past. Like I thought I went to high school with him, which is funny cause he plays a highschooler in Mean Girls! I wanted to say something to him, thinking that he would appreciate being recognized. He's not a star, he just another working LA actor. But I just couldn't ! I couldn't bring myself to say "Hi! I saw you in Mean Girls - you were great!" I just IMBD-ed him, his name is Daniel Franzese.
That's all for today folks. Gotta get my beauty rest.

Where I'm From

The City That Reads. Charm City. The Murder Capital. Smalltimore. Baltiwhore. Yup, those are just a few of the things that my hometown, Baltimore, has been called by the media, and by the people who live there. You know John Waters? That werido director guy who has made movies like,Serial Mom, Pecker, and Cry Baby? Yeah, he's from Baltimore. And he is a perfect expression of the quirky , strange, yet lovable people that come out of this city. Baltimore has long been known for its delicious sea food. Maryland blue crabs, steamed in beer and a variety of spices, are a classic "Baltimore thing." My friend Jeff came to Baltimore over Christmas and was absolutley appalled by the whole crab picking process. Imagine watching some who is OCD, try to pull apart a steaming hot crustacean, that is caked in Old Bay seasoning. Jeff did not like it, I think he was about to puke actually, but he tried his best to get into the experience. It was pretty entertaining to everyone else who hands were covered in seasoning, crab guts and shells. I know it sounds nasty, but crabs are really good. That sweet suculent crab meat is worth the effort. And its a tradition of my native land, the city where I was born, good old Baltimore, Hon!

My Brother Luke on a boat wearing cool shades

So last year my brother Luke came to hang with me while I was living in Croatia. We took a ferry out to this little island called Lockrum. Luke got these stylin and profilin shades from a street vendor in Dubrovnik.

Living in Hollywood

Living in Hollywood is like living in this weired freak circus. Britney Spears knows what she's talking about ( her new album, Circus, is pretty hot, check it out www.britneyspears.com ). But for reals, Hollywood is dirty guys. Its not as beautiful as they make it out to be on T.V. When the red carpet isn't taking up 4 blocks of Hollywood Blvd, you will find a wide variety of circus freak show material. The Homeless of L.A. I live in the homeless capitol of the United States. Imagine a place where there is more rejection and heartbreak and shattering of dreams. It happens every day. Then imagine that all those "actors" went crazy, lost all their money, became addicts of some sort, which eventually led to them becoming homeless and ... loco en la cabeza. On Saturday I was about to go into Joesph's for a late lunch with my friends Rachel, Amanda and John, when a crazy homeless lady walking on the other side of the street threw a hairbrush at us, and then screamed "WHORES!... I know what you did, I saw you!" ummmmm, ok lady. Its not everyday that you get a hair brush thrown at you, screamed at in the street, and called a whore at the same time. Awesome...

So this is blogging...
