I don't understand why we have an extra day in February every four years...
I'm sure it has something to do with science, I never really paid close enough attention in school.
I liked history & drama more.
Regardless of why-
I'm always grateful for an extra day at the end of an already short month.

New York Date of Mind...
Today I got to have lunch with good friend from New York.
We laughed. We gossiped. We complained. We picked up right where we left off~
She's thinking about moving to LA, and I hope that she does.
It would be wonderful to have an old friend near.

The Process
I've dedicated the greater part of my life working toward a dream that I've had since I was a kid;
I said yes to every new opportunity that came my direction,
I struggled to stay focused when things didn't go the way I'd planned.
It hasn't always been easy or fun for that matter;
But the fact is I've been hard at work making my dreams come true;
Every day,
Every set back,
Every "no," is another chance to learn and grow.
Every day is a new experience.
I have no doubt that I will be in that room one day soon-
It will be surreal.
But I will know that I earned my place there!

The OSCARS
Red Carpet fashion captured on the Glam Cam;
A-List stars light the stage.
Billy Crystal.
The acceptance speeches.
Inspiration-
I'm stuck in Kansas City working...
I want to RAGE!

It's A Living.
I spend my days creating art.
I spend my weekends judging it.
I'd rather just celebrate it-
But life doesn't always work that way.

The Way We See It
It's Friday!
That means it's time for another episode of The Way We See It!
...and another opportunity to make fun of Michele Bachman!
Hope you enjoy!

The Day After a Dinner Party
Too much wine;
Need more sleep.
Puppies up;
They need to pee!
Ugh!
It's going to be a long day...

LA Traffic
Seriously?
How come everybody leaves work at the exact same time?
New plan:
Let's stagger peoples work hours based on the type of job they do~
Accountants and business people work until 6 PM
Doctors and lawyers until 5 PM
Teachers and city officials done at 3 PM
(Because they work hard enough in a short period of time...)
(Because they work hard enough in a short period of time...)
Everyone else- just stay home!

Hustle
Jump out of bed with too little sleep;
Shoving a mouthful of cereal down so I don't starve!
Wake up the computer and log in to check the inbox.
Where do I start?
For every email I respond to, four more bounce in-
Grab the iPhone and begin cold calling! ...that's ALWAYS a pleasure! (Sarcasm)
It's not even 10 AM and I'm already behind schedule.
Plan for rehearsal.
Say "yes" to another gig choreographing (even though I don't have the time.)
Pre-pack my bags for another weekend of the glamours life as an adjudicator for Starpower.
Prep for production on our next parody...
The hustle is never ending!
I hope I'll be able to slow down when my career really takes off! (...more sarcasm)

Note To Self
Running errands on a holiday Monday in Los Angeles is a terrible idea!
45 minutes to go 5 miles;
RAGING!!!
I love LA. I love LA.
Yes, it's true, but I hate LA Freeways!
More RAGE!
Never again on a holiday!

My Life Is Always An Adventure...
I'm sitting at a random hotel bar in the middle of America drinking beer and watching the Lakers game.
Funny, considering I'll be judging dancers in a talent competition tomorrow!

BLT!
In the midst of a busy schedule, I find happiness in a B.L.T.
I know it sounds strange, but there are moments in my life when I just need a little bacon to bring an added joy to my day.
I get so caught up in work;
business calls,
the never ending email inbox,
and the non-stop efforts to stay social connected... I need a little pick me up.
The deliciously salty, meaty, crispy crunch of pork, lettuce and tomato sends my taste buds soaring!
...it probably has the same effect on my cholesterol, but that's a worry for another day.
I'm going to ravish this B.L.T!

Life's Short. Do What You Want!
I'm at the point in my life where I no longer wish to do things just to satisfy other people.
For a long time I tried to be what other people expected of me.
I realize that the people who admire me the most, are the ones who appreciate that I follow my heart.
And last time I check, I remember that life is better when you live in the moment, and treasure every second! The good, the bad and everything in between!

A Valentine's Day Poem
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I have a Valentine and so could you!
...if you stopped your bitching about how dumb this day is and settle for someone like everyone else did!
Happy Valentine's Day!

Dear Grammys,
I appreciate the tribute and love for Whitney Houston-
Her voice was a force that will be missed around the world.
But don't you think honoring Chris Brown with a Grammy Award is a touch counterproductive?
No matter how talented he may be, why do we continue to celebrate poor behavior?

Sad Day for the Music Industry
Whitney Houston passed away today.
Sadly, for me it comes as no surprise. Still, it is heartbreaking.
Talk about a tragedy~
Her talent was enormous. Unfortunately, so was her fame.
I'm not a celebrity, but I can only imagine how easy it is to get lost in "YesLand."
Anyone that watched the Oprah interview last year could see that Whitney was still in pain and most likely on drugs. It was a cry for help on national television, and not even Oprah called her out on it.
Talent. Ego. Fame. Money.
It can be a lethal combination.
I'm devastated that Whitney had so many people who loved her, but clearly not enough to convince her to get help, so that she might love herself.
Sad day in music.

The OSCARS are near!
It's that time of year...
Awards season is in full force!
Like any die hard High School Drama Club geek, I LOVE watching the Academy Awards telecast.
Even in an off year!
And I hate to admit it, but I think we can all agree there is no real front runner in the race for Best Picture...
Which is why our company A Group Production, LLC decided to produce a fun parody tribute to this years Best Picture nominees.
Don't worry if you don't recognize the majority of the 9 films (yep... NINE mostly mediocre films were nominated) in the category for Best Picture! I think our 4 minute parody pretty much sums up everything you need to know...
Enjoy!

Six Word Essay on Mondays
It's rough getting the week started!

She's still got it...
Just when you think the world has anointed Lady Gaga as the new divaGoddessextraordinaire...
Madonna swoops in and reminds everyone why she's still the Queen of Pop!
This years Super Bowl half time show was malfunction free.
Madonna is not afraid of an entrance and she always knows how to make an exit. Everything in between was equally impressive. The choreography was tight, the song choices were perfect and the production value was off the charts! I'm pretty sure Madonna got everything she asked for. From the LED screen that covered half the field, to the impressive costumes, the show was ol' skool fresh!
If Madonna is what Fifty-Three is supposed to look like, sign me up! I could have done without her lip syncing, but I totally get it... and at least she knows how to do it well. She puts Britney to shame!

Spent the day shooting a fun OSCAR Parody...
This on the heels of a very long, albeit productive week.

The Way We See It!
I'm thrilled to share that as we continue to expand our company A Group Production, and (hopefully) sell a TV show... We've just uploaded our latest segment!
Imagine how great it would be if "The Daily Show" and "Politically Incorrect" got married and had an adopted gay baby? "The Way We See It" is the news delivered with a witty, flashy and fabulous spin! Jeff Payton reports on REAL new headlines and current events with his dry, intelligent and pun-filled humor, while I provide an off-the-cuff commentary and entertaining insight!

Pushy Pet
I love my dogs;
Ginger and Lily.
But Lily, a one year old Shi Tzu mix is bullying our eight year old Yorkshire Terrier.
I know she's still puppy...
But I think it's time she stopped destroying our sheets, torturing Ginger and acting like she doesn't hear me when I call her!

I Love Joan Rivers
God bless Joan Rivers.
I love that at 78 years old- she's smoking weed and jumping into hot tubs fully clothed!
On her refreshingly "unscripted" reality show, JOAN & MELISSA: Joan Knows Best? Joan is unafraid to push the boundaries of what an audience expects to see from a grandma. I also respect that she'll do anything for a great rating.
Joan knows the industry better than half the men that run it.
How appropriate to engage multiple generations in the heated hot topic of medical marijuana. I admire her ability to do it so honestly- with a tongue and cheek humor and witty resolve.
Joan uses her ol' skool skills to spark success. It's a highly contagious and outlandish show that actually makes me enjoy Melissa Rivers.
Clearly, Joan knows best!
