FIFI'S THOUGHTS 5/13/2009 1:49:43 PM
ONCE IN A WHILE WE ALL NEED TO LISTEN THAT '150 YEAR OLD MAN' WHOM WE ALL KNOW........................
ALSO YOU AUTHORS AND ENTERTAINERS NEED TO REALIZE IT'S TEN TIMES HARDER TO MAKE IT BIG IN 2009 THAN SAY 1969....... OK I'M A CHRISTIAN GIRL AND I TALK TO MY PRIEST FOR SPIRITUAL ADVICE AND SOMETIMES PERSONAL ADVICE. I'M A MYSTIC GIRL AND I TALK TO MY KUNDALINI YOGI FOR SPIRITUAL/MYSTIC ADVICE...........HOWEVER WHEN I WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT CAREER ADVICE.......THERE WAS NOBODY BETTER FOR ME TO TALK TO THAN THE '150 YEAR OLD MAN......'
I CALLED HIM THE '150 YEAR MAN' BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE THAT HE LIVED AT LEAST 150 YEARS ON THIS EARTH..........
THE 150 YEAR OLD MAN TALKED ABOUT ALL THESE 'LAZY SPOILED YOUNG KIDS' AND HOW TIMES WERE REALLY TOUGH DURING THE 'REAL DEPRESSION' OF THE 30S
SOOOOOOOOO HOW DID HE HELP ME WITH MY CAREER ADVICE? HE WAS A FORMER CHARACTER ACTOR WHO MADE A LOT OF MOVIES BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS........YOU KNOW THE 40S AND 50S AND 60S.....HE SAID TODAY'S ACTORS CAN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO THE OLD TIME ACTORS.........HE MAY HAVE BEEN RIGHT.......I FEEL THERE ARE NO SUCCESSFUL YOUNG ACTORS TODAY WHO HAVE ANY MORE TALENT THAN I DO....THEY JUST HAVE MORE BREAKS AND AS YOU KNOW I LIKE THE OLD TIME MOVIES A LOT MORE THAN THE NEW TIME MOVIES........
OK I MET THIS 150 YEAR OLD FELLA OUTSIDE OF A CASTING AGENCY...........I HAD JUST BEEN REJECTED AT ANOTHER AUDITION.......WHAT ELSE IS NEW? WELL HE WAS OUTSIDE THE AGENCY ENTRANCE SMOKING A CIG.........HE LOOKED AT ME I LOOKED AT HIM. THIS DIRTY LOOKIN OLD FELLA WITH A SCRAGGLY BEARD..........
"SO WHAT HAPPENED?" HE SAID IN A GRAVELY VOICE......"DID YOU FAIL ANOTHER AUDITION?"
"I HAVE NO IDEA WHO YOU ARE BUT YES I DID...." I GROWLED BACK
"YOU GOTTA AROUSE THEIR CHAKRAS......." HE MUTTERED BETWEEN PUFFS............
"AROUSE THEIR CHAKRAS?" I SNARLED BACK.......
"THEIR CHAKRAS......THOSE ENERGY CENTERS IN THEIR BODIES.....YOU KNOW...... GET THEM EXCITED.....TO GET THAT ROLE YOU NEED TO BE A HUNDRED TIMES MORE INTERESTING OR DIFFERENT THAN THE NEXT ACTRESS......WHO'S GOT THOSE CONTACTS OR THAT 'CERTAIN LOOK' THAT THEY LIKE.....IF YOU GET MY DRIFT......."
I LOOKED AT THE FELLA INQUISIVE LIKE AND SCRATCHED MY CHIN WITH MY RIGHT HAND......"YEAH I GET YOUR DRIFT......BUT STILL IT'S SO COMPETITIVE OUT THERE WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE THAT 'SILVER SPOON' IN YOUR MOUTH....I MEAN I DON'T 'KNOW' OR AM RELATED TO ANY BIG SHOTS.....I DON'T HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE FROM SOME FANCY IVY LEAGUE DRAMA SCHOOL.....I DON'T.......
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT CR---P" THE OLD GEEZER GROWLED...."SOME OF THE BEST ACTORS WHO EVER LIVED DIDN'T EVEN FINISH HIGH SCHOOL AND THEY WEREN'T RELATED TO ANYONE.......YOU NEED TO PUSH PUSH PUSH GIRL AND NOT SIT AROUND ALL DAY AND WATCH THAT SUN GO UP AND DOWN......IF YOU GOT THE TALENT SOMEBODY WILL NOTICE YOU.....AND YOU NEED TO KEEP ON PERFECTING YOUR CRAFT......THAT 'TALENTED' ACTOR.......THAT 'TALENTED' DIRECTOR.....THAT 'TALENTED WRITER'.....THAT 'TALENTED' SINGER.....THAT 'TALENTED' ATHLETE......HE OR SHE IS SO BUSY PURSUING THEIR CRAFT THAT THEY FORGOT ABOUT SLEEPING......FORGET ABOUT EATING.......FORGET ABOUT GOING TO THE BATHROOM........YOU LIVE, EAT, AND SLEEP YOUR CRAFT....AND THEN," THE 150 YEAR OLD FELLA POINTED HIS FOREFINGER TO HIS CHEST AND SNARLED BUT SMILED, "SOMEBODY'S GONNA NOTICE YOU BECAUSE YOU STIRRED UP HIS OR HER CHAKRAS......"
WE TALKED A WHILE AND THEN I THANKED THIS OLD MAN AND SAD TO SAY I NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN BUT I NEVER FORGOT HIM......A REAL 'LIMBIC BRAIN' FELLA AND I TOOK HIS ADVICE TO HEART......GET THE SELF ESTEEM....I KNOW I GOT THE TALENT......DON'T LET ANYTHING BOTHER ME.......STIR UP THESE PEOPLE'S 'CHAKRAS'........ADVICE FROM YOUR ELDERS IS SOMETIMES MORE VALUABLE THAN ANYTHING YOU LEARN IN COLLEGE OR GET OVER THE INTERNET.......THEY HAVE BEEN ON THIS EARTH A LOT LONGER THAN YOU HAVE AND KNOW A LOT OF THINGS........
SPEAKING OF A FELLA WHO NEEDS TO LIVE ON THE EARTH MORE I JUST HAD THE MOST HUMOROUS EXPERIENCE WITH MY GOOD ALIEN FRIEND HELOS........WE WERE BOTH AT A LIGHT STOP ON SUNSET BLVD.......I WAS TAKING HIM IN MY BEAT UP OLD PICKUP TO SOME KIND OF 'COMPUTER CONFERENCE' AT UCLA......ALL KINDS OF LEFT BRAIN CEREBRAL STUFF ON SOFTWARE AND PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES AND HELOS BEING AN ALIEN FROM AN ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL CIVILIZATION LIKE ZATORIS WELL HE KNOWS ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTERS AND ALL THAT HIGH TECH STUFF REALLY WELL............I THINK HE WAS GONNA GIVE ALL THESE BRAINY UCLA PROFS SOME 'ADVANCED COMPUTER ADVICE....'
ANNNYWAYS AS WERE WAITING AT THE INTERSECTION A YOUNG BIMBO 'BERGDORF BLONDE', DRIVING A FANCY BMW SPORTS CAR AND APPEARED TO HAVE SKIN MADE OUT OF PLASTIC, PULLED UP TO THE SIDE OF ME, LOOKED AT THE BACKSEAT OF MY CAB FULL OF CLUTTER, AND WHILE GIVING ME A COOL STARE AND PULLING DOWN HER SHADES, SAID.... "YOU LOOK LIKE YOU NEED TO ORGANIZED," THEN JUST TOOK OFF AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN........
I JUST YELLED "WELL BOOLAH BOOLAH BOOLAH TO YOU" AS SHE DROVE SUNSET.........
WELL GOOD OLD HELOS DIFFUSED MY ANGER AND TOLD ME........."FIFI THE TERM 'BOOLAH BOOLAH BOOLAH' IS NOT A WORD THAT I AM FAMILIAR WITH IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE....WHAT IS THE GRAMMATICAL MEANING OF 'BOOLAH BOOLAH BOOLAH?"
I JUST STARED AT HELOS AND LAUGHED............"OH HELOS YOU ARE JUST SO 'LEFT CEREBRAL....' YOU NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME ON EARTH AND GET MORE 'LIMBIC......' IT'S JUST A SILLY PHRASE HELOS.....A SILLY PHRASE......"
OMIGOSH I WENT DOWN TO LA JOLLA TO BE PART OF THAT CHILDREN'S BOOK FESTIVAL. THEN I WENT TO A FANCY LA JOLLA MALL AFTER THE FESTIVAL AND NEVER SEEN SO MANY 'BERGDORF BLONDES' WHO NEVER LOOKED LIKE THEY DID A HARD DAYS WORK IN THEIR LIVES......LA JOLLA.....DOES IT HAVE MORE GOLDDIGGERS PER CAPITA THAN ANY PLACE ON EARTH?
WHEN I WAS WALKING DOWN THE MALL SIGHTSEEING I SNEEZED AND FORGOT TO COVER MY MOUTH....BUT REALLY NOOONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. STILL SOME 'FEMALE' NEXT TO ME RUDELY YELLED OUT "COVER YOUR MOUTH"........I JUST LOOKED AT HER AND SNAPPED BACK......."I'LL COVER MY MOUTH BUT YOU NEED TO COVER YOURS FIRST BECAUSE ALL THIS SNEEZING I'M DOING IS CAUSED BY ALL THE POLLUTANTS COMING OUT OF YOUR BIG MOUTH...."
SAD RECENT PASSING...... WHEN YOU THINK OF THE 'BAD BOYS' DETROIT PISTON CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS YOU THINK OF IT'S LEADER CHUCK DALY AS MUCH AS THE PLAYERS....CHUCK WAS AS GOOD A LEADER AS ANY COACH EVER WAS TO LEAD THOSE ROWDY BUNCH OF CHARACTERS TO TWO NBA TITLES.......REST IN PEACE CHUCK.......
THIS BRAIN STUFF I'VE BEEN READING AND TALKING TO YOU PEOPLE ABOUT RECENTLY JUST REINFORCES MY CHRISTIAN BELIEFS THAT ONLY A POWERFUL CREATOR OR CREATORS CAN DESIGN SUCH A COMPLICATED ORGAN. EVEN A FLEA'S BRAIN IS A MILLION TIMES MORE COMPLICATED THAN ANY HUMAN INVENTION.....LOOK AT ALL THESE BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF NEURONS AND AXONS AND CHEMICAL NEUROTRANSMITTERS IN THE BRAIN.......ALL THESE CELLS AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES HAVE TO WORK PERFECTLY FOR A HUMAN BODY AND BRAIN TO FUNCTION WELL.........I JUST CAN'T IMAGINE THESE COMPLICATED THINGS IN OUR BODIES WERE ONLY MADE BY 'NATURE'..AND I'M ONLY TALKING ABOUT THE BRAIN AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM .....I'M NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE HEART AND THE BLOOD AND THE STOMACH AND THR LIVER AND THE SPLEENS AND THE KIDNEYS AND THE PANCREAS AND THE BONES AND THE GLANDS AND THE GUTS AND THE............'REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS........'
BUT THEN MY AETHEIST FRIEND DICK POINTS OUT IF ALL THESE COMPLICATED ORGANS AND CELLS AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES ARE NEEDED TO 'SUPPORT LIFE' THEN HOW THE HECK CAN THERE BE ANY 'LIFE AFTER DEATH....?' THEREFORE THERE IS ONLY 'NATURE' AND NO 'CREATOR'.......
OK ENOUGH HEAVY CEREBRAL THINKING......NOW FOR SOMETHING LIGHT.........I WENT TO A MOVIE CALLED 'VALENTINO' AND I THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT THE LATE SILENT FILM STAR BUT INSTEAD IT WAS ABOUT A FAMOUS FASHION DESIGNER......IT WAS OK BUT......I DUNNO........IT'S JUST FUNNY THAT WHAT A COUPLE THOUSAND YEARS AGO WOMEN WORE LIKE WOLF SKINS OR SHEEP SKINS NOW WE GO THESE FASHION DESIGNERS DESIGN FANCY DRESSES AND GOWNS THAT COSTS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS......I'M JUST AS COMPFORTABLE WEARING A SIMPLE BLOUSE OR TSHIRT AND JEANS AS I AM WEARING SOME FANCY NIGHTGOWN.......AND THOSE FASHION MODELS.......GIVE ME A BREAK.......THEY LOOK LIKE 6 FEET TALL HUMAN MANNEQUINS.......I MEAN DO THEY EVEN GO TO THE BATHROOM?
