Entry #80 (stuff always happens on
round numbers.....hmmm)
12:15 PM, Tuesday, October 3rd,
2000:
Well, it's finally over....layover
after layover after layover, the MTV Commercial
Contest is over, and your votes put me at the top! I
won the popularity contest! I'm so proud!
(sigh)...
I am very
greatful to those of you who voted for me,
but as I've said before the "workings" of
this contest were always a sore spot for
me. I want to be judged on my talents, not
just push all my friends and family to
click a box. Now if I knew thousands
were able to see ALL the entries and
make a true vote, that'd be cool...but the
net just isn't that advanced yet. It's
just too slow for the majority of the
users and there were only a handful of
votes. I just organized my "troops" better
than the other people. I'm sure a very
SMALL percentage even looked at the
entries...but TOO BAD - I won.
So here's the winning
entry showing
my "Special Talent" - 4tvs.

So what's next? Well I was told
it'll be 6 weeks until we know who's producing this
commercial. Will it be Hollywood Screentest, or
someone that may be investing in Hollywood Screentest.
Again, this will be a Hollywood Screentest commercial
that will be aired on MTV, not an "MTV commercial".
Not sure what an "MTV commercial" would be, but there
seemed to be some confusion over that. HST is
producing a commercial that will air nationally.
Myself and the Female top vote getter will star in it.
I assume shooting will begin in January, and most
likely run in Spring of 2001. That's my guess. As with
everything in life, that could be sooner or
later.
So in the whole contest month, I
guess 1 out of 3 ain't bad...though I still haven't
heard back from eveo.com on why I was never paid
my $100. Hmmm.
On a J-Dog and Bob update...J-Dog
has moved to toelrable, kind of. He still hisses and
bats at Bob every once and awhile, but after 2 weeks -
the threat of finding a murdered kitty in his food
bowl has passed. Bob wants so badly to be accepted by
J-Dog though. He runs up to him and lays in front of
him trying to show submission and J-Dog just runs
away...he looks so dejected. Poor Bob. I should have
more video soon.
Mark David Chapman got denied in
50 minutes. LOL. The man looked forward to this day
for 20 years, and in less than an hour the parole
board laughed at him and sent him back to jail. Heh.
How do you keep an inmate from freakin out after that?
You hear he said that Lennon would've wanted him to be
set free? Ain't that the shits...the one guy who
would've fought for you...YOU SHOOT HIM.
What a prick. Lennon being killed is one of the few
things that when I think about it gets me so
angry I have to just think about something else.
What a waste.
Well, that's about all the time
I can spare...LOL...the LIST is staring at me on
my desk, and I should get back to it. Thought I should
update you though, and thank you all for
voting.
