“Not really”, I hear you say. So here we are again, kiddies. Another 3 month break since my last post. Un-freakin’-buh-lievable! (Fair warning: I might be a little out-of-practice with this shooting and posting stuff. Sue Me! No, actually DON’T sue me…You wouldn’t win a ₵ anyway!)
So what the hell have I been up to? Not a goddamned Thang! Literally… nothing; nothing but survival. For those who don’t know, I am one of the lucky few who actually gets to WORK in Hollywood as a background actor; A.K.A., Extra; A.K.A., that random shitfuck doodling around a million miles from camera. Whatever. It ain’t glamorous, but it pays the bills. Or at least it USED to. Take a look at this clip from NBC 4 News:
So yeah, that’s why all of us so-called actors are all broke as a damned joke these days! Remember that absolute AVALANCHE ❄️❄️ of work we all thought was gonna happen at the end of the Actors Strike? Yeah…it didn’t…no, check that…it AIN’T happenin’, homie! Neither me nor any of my fellow Screen Randos are working at all. And that’s not by accident!
Nuttin’ better to do than hang out at Luv Car wash in Simi Valley!
You see, if there’s one thang I know about the Village People…(That’s the nickname we extras have for the people who sit huddled over at Video Village. Those are the IMPORTANT people: Producers, Studio Bosses, Investors, etc.)…if there’s one thang I know about the Village People, is they don’t like to LOSE. They’re not used to losing and they don’t exactly behave like good sports when it happens (cough-cough…Trump!) So the bigwigs over at Netflix and Disney and Paramount are going all “Scorched Earth” on us Little People. They lost to the actors and writers, and, like the butt-hurt billionaires they are, they’ve decided to greenlight as few projects as possible and hire as few people as possible for those projects. The idea is to teach everyone who works in Production a lesson, “You guys don’t wanna work? Fine, then there will BE no work!”
To which I say, “Fine. You don’t wanna shoot? You don’t wanna make 💰💰? Fine. No skin off my back!” Feel me? Enuff with this self-pity bull-💩💩. I’m not the one out here trying to turn millions into billions anyway. I don’t need billion$$$ to be happy. Can you say the same, Mr. Important Person? Doubt it.
Who needs U anyway, Studio Bitches…I mean, Bosses! As long as I got my pastrami sammich from The Hat…
…and their not-so-gross tonnage of fries!
So yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to. Thank you for listening to me rant. ‘Til next time, dear readers (Let’s hope not another three months!)…Love, Peace and Shoes!✌️✌️👡👡😊😊, Johnny
