MTV Application submitted
Categorized under Medios , Pelicula , Política Estados Unidos | Tags: arte, Choose or Lose 08, MTV, My Life, YouTube
SOME OF YOU RECALL the post I made on MTV's latest contest to choose one person from every state to represent a blogging/reporting role on the 2008 Prezleedenshul Electerections in each state. Opportunitiues for National Spongebaths or something like that. Well, as such junctures between Pretzel-dentures and prolonged elections are an uplifting angle of my expertise, I figured I would apply. After all, I have lived here for years, I do understand moss, and I can compost as well as the next guy.
You can see an example of one of my answers at the above-linked post. But don't you doubt for a moment that I have some serious bar graphs ready to break out, and with mucho gusto.
So, yeah--I filled out that bad boy form...and forgot about it.
UNTIL, about a week later I get an email from "Liz," the Supervising Producer on the show, saying how countless puppies had found homes in just the last week simply due to my having blogged on this MTV event, but more importantly, that she couldn't find my application and asked me if would I please resubmit it!
Sounded like knocking like fate again, so I said what the hell and I did so.
Below the cut is the short vid that I embedded as only one small part of my application. Feel free to whoop or laugh or groan as needed.
Contributors and support responsible for supplying certain camera gear and such are well-thanked on the lo-lo, of course. Ad spots always available should they take me up on that offer. Except for "intro" scene, all camerawork by one J.T. Ryan, as dir. by Nez; all costume, script, shotlist, editing, sound design, camera direction, etc by Nezua)

You're going to have them all confused at MTV - what with all the do's, glasses and outfits, they're gonna think you're 5 or 6 different dudes. I know I had to look at it a coupla times to make sure they were all you. Hilarious!!

Well if ya' don't get the nod for the Choose or Lose slot, they should see-the-light and give you a get out of Oregon card, and send you directly to being a writer/producer.

That's gonna be one long name caption, but I'm sure MTV can wing it.

Nezua, homem, és tão charmoso! A sério! And worst, you are so bloody cool - how can you be so cool? Especially with a camera in your face - it's disheartening for the rest of us.
[I don't think I ever thanked you for it, I don't think I could then. But you commented on a post from that horrid period that I later took down, ebbing and flowing, like the tides, remember? I read it over and over again, and it never failed to soothe me. Muchas, muchissimas gracias. Te devo mmi sanidad en aquel dia. Tu piedra! ;)]

gracias, joan, janna, thanks so much for the propz! man it does my heart good.
Lioness, I do remember. I'm so glad I could help. Those moments are hard, I know. I screenshot your temporary blog subheader "where furballs go to die" because it made me laugh so hard...i didnt know if it was in reaction to mine or not, but i still loved it.
Por fin, you have mixed up my half-spanish speaking, mostly english knowing, portugoogling converting mind wonderfully and I'm not sure all you have said here in the comment, but it feels good!

NL, i've always been a chameleon. with hair color, facial hair, dress and manner, i can become about ten different people. perhaps that has something to do with my very first dream of being an actor. i always think of what deniro said: "i wanted to be everyone and everything, so i became an actor."
actually i'm not sure he said that. if not, i reserve it.

Dude if they don't choose you bro. I think we should have a national boycott of MTV, including Latino MTV.

Well, I said: Nezua, hombre, "you're so charming! Really!" I have no idea whether the Spanish was correct, the Spanish I know seems to have been learnt through osmosis - but you did understand that, right? No? "Tu piedra" means, OBVIOUSLY, you rock. Which you do.

[Speaking of furballs, if you knew my cats you wouldn't laugh. :) I had the banner for over a year, I think, and then changed it into "Cuppa tea with your furball?" and just this afternoon I was thinking I missed the old one and needed to change it back, thanks for reminding me - but would you believe this was the first time I noticed yours? Your site is so busy it sort of went unnoticed, my apologies.]
