Last time I updated was last sunday, and I was feeling sick again. Well, I wasn't wrong. I was really sick. February and even late January has been so shitty for me health wise. I feel like i've been sick 70% of the year. First I was getting those bad headaches. Then it turned into a bad cold. Then a bad flu. Then back to a bad cold. FINALLY i'm not stuffy any more and i'm pretty much feeling better. I have had some trouble sleeping the past two nights. My house is really dry..so my skin is drying up and my lips are cracking, etc. Kinda gross. It's also really hard to breathe when its dry and the heat is always blowing directly into my face because of where my bed is in relation to the air vent. Kinda sucks.
Not much else is new with me. Still overly obsessed with Rob Dyrdek. I bought a shirt from the dyrdek collection yesterday, haha. And Fantasy Factory season 1 is on its way to my house...hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. Then I gotta get Rob and Big season 3. I can't wait to watch the whole thing and watch with commentary. Its awesome with the commentary because you are basically watching it with the stars/producers and you can hear their reactions and see what went on that the cameras didn't catch. I love it.
Jeff Tremaine, the executive producer, that guy is a genius. He must be making good bank. I watched the "Where are they now" jackass episode last night, which was really taped in 07, but still a good amount of time after all the jackass stuff. It was pretty interesting. I can't believe I've only met Bam and Ryan Dunn from that show. I've always wanted to meet Johnny Knoxville, obviously, and I'd love to see steveo and chris pontius.
But back to Jeff Tremaine. He explained how he saw some of the old CKY videos and thought it would make a good show to film dudes just doing stupid shit. He called up johnny knoxville and told him he wanted to make a pilot episode of this show, and they got some of th CKY guys to do it (Bam and Dunn), and then they pitched it to different networks and MTV took it. Now..jackass is a huge phenomenon that will always be remembered. I personally think that show is hilarious. I know its not a common show for a girl to love, but I have always loved it. Jackass milked it for all they could and did the show, Jackass the movie, Jackass 2 and I believe there is a jackass 2.5. I own all of them, haha. I also own the series on DVD. Then, I think they released some skits that were never before seen, and after that was done they moved on to Wildboyz (which I never really got too into, but I did watch a few episodes). Then, the brilliance which was Viva La Bam. I loved that show. I was so bummed when it was over. The show was just so hilarious. Everything has to end though, and Bam since has grown up a lot. He is married now and pretty much staying out of the spotlight. He did release a book of his journals which I bought and love. It's awesome.
Viva La Bam had the four core guys as cast members, Bam, Dunn, Rake and Raab. Then obviously Vito and Phil and April. I heard somewhere that Bam and Raab don't talk anymore and that makes me pretty sad. They've been best friends forever. I wonder what happened? even on the Viva La Bam spring break show where they all got together again to go to south beach after the show wrapped, Raab didn't go. I wonder what he is up to now. I haven't seen anything about him in a long time.
Anyways, I kind of forgot where I was going with this. Oh yeah, Jeff Tremaine. After viva la bam, Bam had that Unholy Union show where him and Missy planned their wedding. Actually, I keep meaning to buy that DVD. I haven't seen all those episodes and I would like to. Again, it will probably bum me out that Raab doesn't go to the wedding. So back to Tremaine, he is behind ALL of these shows. Then he got behind Rob and Big and now fantasy factory. The dude really has an awesome career. And he seems pretty down to earth and funny too. Maybe I will meet him one day.
It's funny, when I was really young, maybe 3rd or 4th grade, I always had a think for skater boys. This was before I ever saw Jackass or anything. Then I fell in love with Bam. Now Dyrdek. I wonder if those two ever met? I'm sure they have. I would love to see footage of it. I know Bam is good friends with a lot of other pro skateboarders, but I don't think him and Rob Dyrdek are friends. I know Dyrdek is buddies with Steve Berra and Eric Koston and them, who I've seen hang with Bam before. I dunno. I would LOVE to see Bam and Rob meet. Maybe have a skate off. I wonder who is better? I think they are pretty close...I always thought Bam was an amazing skater, and he still is. But watching Rob Dyrdek skate..he is CRAZY good. Those two guys are similar, but also so different. Rob has more of a personality that EVERYONE likes. He seems like the kinda guy who makes friends wherever he goes. Bam has the "I don't give a fuck" attitude. I'm sure bam is perfectly nice. Actually, I know he is because i've met him. But Rob Dyrdek just seems to be incredibly sweet and caring.
Skateboarding is just a talent you have to respect. It's not an easy sport whatsoever. Those guys get injured ALL the time and it takes a LOT of discipline to become as good as they are. I think one of the reasons I love skateboarders in general is their laid back outlook on life. I don't think you could meet an uptight skateboarder. They are all so chill. I love that.
I NEED to meet Rob Dyrdek. I keep bumming myself out. I mapquested it and realized I was 7 minuets away from the factory at one point on my LA trip. Why didn't we just go out there? WTF? I'm such a dumbass. We did go to the Rob and Big house. That was so exciting for me, even though he doesn't live there anymore, haha. I think he still owns the place..he would be silly to sell it since it has all the murals and personalized touches. But I believe he moved about 15 minutes away, still up in the hills. I have the address. I'm bummed we didn't drive by there too.
I am missing LA like crazy right now. Pretty much everything about it. Here, I get so bored sometimes. In LA, I wouldn't be bored. Whenever I had downtime I could just go for a drive and see who I see. It would be so fun. Though, I think the novelty would wear off if I lived there. It wouldn't be as exciting to meet celebrities. Though I would have a much better chance at meeting dyrdek if I was there right now. He NEEDS to come to the midwest sometime this summer. He just has to. And I will go. I just wanna see him in person, get a picture with him. Maybe talk to him for a minute or two. A meet and greet would kinda suck because those are so impersonal, but I would still go for it. I'd do anything at this point to get to meet him. Crazy, huh? I've met freakin Tom Cruise and to me thats nothing compared to Rob Dyrdek.
I'm such a loser. haha. But at least when I love something, I go all out for it. *Nsync, Friends, Bam, now Rob Dyrdek. The Bam and Dyrdek obsessions are nothing compared to the *nsync and friends ones. But who knows...I still have time for the dyrdek one to grow. There have also been other small ones in there. Jason Bateman. I went through a TINY ashton kutcher phase. There was a few months of Jake Gyllenhaal. Haha.
Alright, it's almost time to pack up the laptop. Bye Bye :)
