Thank You Tina Fey via Amy Poehler

I’m currently reading the hilarious (and surprisingly informative) book “Bossy Pants” by the talented and (what’s a better word for hilarious?) uproarious, Tina Fey.

In addition to the side-splitting laughter, I’m also excited to gain some inside perspective on the business of producing a weekly variety sketch show...

My partner Jeff and I have been working around the clock to get our parody television pilot on TV!  We’ve had some awesome accomplishments and opportunities along the way.  Having optioned our show, we’re closer now than ever before.

Because of this, we find ourselves editing our parodies (so as not to piss off the potential cable channel we’re destined to call home.)

The tricky part is staying true to the style and humor that helped us achieve the level of attention and fans that we have...
After all, our fans are the reason we’ve been able to continue producing content, shoot a pilot, appear in magazines and be interviewed on talk shows.

Tina Fey sharing a sentiment that Amy Poehler uttered to another cast member while working at SNL, “I don’t fucking care if you like it.”

Yes! That is precisely how I feel.  At this point in my life, I know who I am. I know what I want out of life, and I’m less concerned with what others think of me or my work.

There will be people who will like what we do, and there will be people that don’t. 

I’m focused on doing what I do best, using my voice to entertain the people who do!

The Glamorous Life...

I grew up dreaming that I would always be able to follow my passion and do what I love.

As and adult I rarely take for granted that I get to wake up every day and live the life I dreamed.

Despite the fact that my body is in major pain today,

I'm thrilled that I spent my day yesterday auditioning for a new show.

As much as I love working collaborating with artists as a director and producer-

Yesterday reminded me of how much I still love the opportunity to perform.

I love to dance, sing and act.  

It's what I grew up doing and it will always be in my blood.

Even when I'm eighty years old!

My day continued to shine when a dear friend invited me to a home in the 

Hollywood Hills that she was staying at...

It was magnificent!

Everything you'd dream of owning if you were a big Hollywood movie star.

I'm not quite there yet...

But looking back on all of the wonderful adventures I've had in my life, 

I remembered how lucky I am.

I get to do what I love everyday!

And that is The Glamorous Life!

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!
