Just fooling around with my new Flip camera. Tiger Woods messed up and this is probably what people see when they look at him. I do think my dog is more adorable. Good staring, Penny.

Thoughts On My New "Head Shot"
The following picture is a still from a new video where I play Jacob from Twilight (coming Monday!). Like the mysterious Bigfoot, sometimes the camera catches things we did not know were real. Please don’t stare at it too long. I want you to still desire other things in life besides me.
It’s not everyday that the camera captures how you see yourself in your dreams. It’s about time my outside caught up to the beautiful person I am on the inside. I didn’t know Canon made a sexy lens attachment. (I’ve learned that the camera refuses to take any more pictures because it can never achieve this again. Also, the camera is pregnant.) Look at those eyes. You ladies are lucky I’m happily married because those eyes can melt your heart. Then I would catch those meltings in a cup and drink them so you would be a part of me. My shirt fought valiantly trying to contain that chest and those arms but failed. It will be missed.

NoBuddies – Actor Whisperer Part 2 (Episode 12)
Sometimes things make me laugh. Other times, they make me cry. And then there are times when I just start swinging my fists around for no good reason. Part 2 of “Actor Whisperer” will make you do all three.* Tune in and partake in online television history as NoBuddies airs a 12th episode for the first time in any of its many seasons of existence. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Girl got deep into her method training for Football Princess 2. The gang brings in the Actor Whisperer to talk her down. Does it work?

NoBuddies – Actor Whisperer Part 1 (Episode 11)
Have you ever wanted to be so good at something that you put in all the work to make sure you are the best? Me, neither. But Girl does in this first episode of a two-parter that will have you asking, “How are there 11 episodes already? I’ve barely watched two. So the next one makes 12?” Yes it does, loyal viewer. Yes it does. Watch!
Girl gets a sweet role in a kids’ movie. Training goes a little too well.

More Sally Forth
You know, I was never much into comic strips but when you are a character in one, it makes them so much more appealing. After an unnecessary two-day hiatus, Kevin returns in today’s “Sally Forth.” I know my character is just picking on Ted all the time but I think we need to know more of my back story. I feel delving into what makes Kevin tick would bring this comic up to Sally FIRST. Am I right? I am. Write your local Sally Forth-carrying newspaper and ask for more Kevin and I’ll keep bothering the author.

NoBuddies – Bill’s Game Intervention (Episode 10)
This episode is based on a good friend of mine’s love for video game hockey. There are really people out there like this and awareness needs to be raised. Can you tell this was actually the 4th episode we shot even though it airs 10th? That’s why there’s the sound issues that you all thought we took care of. The rest of the season will have the pristine sound you have come to enjoy in the last 5 or so episodes. Thanks for watching.
Bill takes his hockey game a little too seriously. Gray and Cal intervene.
Writer’s Note – That is not my hand on Bill’s upper thigh. It is an unfortunate screen capture.

Monday’s Sally Forth
If you are like me then you felt the Sally Forth from yesterday did not give enough back story on the character of Kevin, based on me. Where did Kevin come from? This smart ass appears out of nowhere? Why is he so mean to Ces, I mean Ted? Well, fear not. Kevin appeared in the Monday strip which I missed out on because I was too busy patriotizing the world. Anyway, this should clear up any confusion from the Tuesday strip so enjoy me again. I’m textually hilarious.

I’m In Sally Forth!
Being friends with the person who writes a comic strip has its perks as evidenced by today’s Sally Forth. I play the role of Kevin which I do adequately in real life but awesomely in newsprint. I’m going to have to start having Ces script my real life because he makes me so much funnier than I really am. Check me out and laugh!

NoBuddies – Don’t Mess With Taxes (Episode 9)
We at NoBuddies (just me, they hate when I speak for them) feel that Tax Day should not be a worrisome time. At the very least, you should spend 3 minutes and 9 seconds for yourself and you can take that strangely accurate amount of time and use it on our next episode. It has taxes and masking tape and anger and humor. That’s 4 things! I’m no accountant but I think you can write it off or maybe deduct it from the amount in Box 19. Again, not an accountant. Enjoy.
Tax Day is upon us and Bill is starting to feel the pressure. Cal does nothing to alleviate it.
