06.17.10 – how i’m spending my summer vacation(?)

my main man glows like a thousand suns OR leftover from that time i painted him

It is either earlyearlyearly or latelatelate, but I could not possibly tell you which! Because I’m pretty sure that I was still awake, maybe waking up, at this time yesterday (?) And I would love to fill this paragraph with waaaahmylifeishard, but it is not, in fact, difficult at all for me to work stupidly weird hours and run myself into the ground to satisfy my sick, mostly masochistic need to keep myself working as much as is physically possible. Technically, TECHNCALLY, summer – in as much as summer ever happens in California, which is not at all ever even – is my break period~ wherein I’m supposed to mostly rest and chillax and regroup so that I’m fresh for when August rolls around and we start shooting for the September debut. This is in no way a secret to anyone who would tell me to rest and chillax and regroup, but my past four summers have been filled with ridic busy-work meant to keep me from going into a coma of boredom and unproductive feelings. Summer 2010 is shaping up to be my busiest in recent history, and SO I offer, to gain some perspective, Jason Bellamy Will Have a Heart Attack Before He Turns 30: Summer 2005 versus 2010.

2005: I Re-Enter Hollywood By Nuding It Up and Somehow Get a Pilot WTF

Okay SO, as the internet will tell you, I opted to deal with not being cute anymore by first, taking off MOST of my clothes and awkwardly filming people in the bushes (and also filming plastic bags, but w/e) but then by moving back to my homestate to be normal and work at frigging Jamba Juice until I could no longer stomach the smell of exotic fruit. My grand reentry – because there’s no way you can follow semi-nude with anything other than either full frontal or SIMULATED BLOWJOBS – was shot during this summer, when I spent most of June/July trailing around the desert-y states with Felicity Huffman on our Transamerica(n) voyage. Because it was produced by wonderful people and filmed with equally wonderful people, it did a great freaking job on the award circuit~ but I’m an ungrateful ass and skipped out on all that in favor of begging people to cast me as one half of a serial-killing/rapist duo for like, twenty minutes of screen time in a pilot that had more or less just been optioned and had no actual people attached to it outside of MANDY PATINKIN (!!!) and SO, long story short, apparently I didn’t stop being a total spaz in the time I went to go and learn to be worldly~ so I knocked over a chair and walked into a door during my audition and then I became Spencer Reid and the whole rest of my summer was dedicated to shooting that pilot on a wing and a prayer and went on to get viewershi of like, 19 million people. And feed and clothe me and stuff.

2010: I …Do So Much Shit That It’s Kind of Mind-Boggling and KICK ASS.

So currently, currently, I am spending my time waking up earlyearlyearly or latelatelate, or maybe just not sleeping at all. That is not just because I like to punish myself with freezing showers or evenings of trying to wash makeup unlike any kind of makeup I’ve had to wear before off of my face – with the possible exception of Aliceing it up, which was actually shockingly easy to clean up after! – but because I am currently filming~ an upcoming feature film~ that is mostly an awesome freaking time (because being on set is always an awesome freaking time, what am I even saying) called Burlesque, which will come to you at some point in the new year? I believe? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON’T QUOTE ME ON THAT. In any case! I ran to this set, located wonderfully close to my abode~, about a week after I finished filming another beautiful, good-vibe-ish-ful feature film. This week was full of things like Cannes! And Australia! And then sleeping forfuckingever because who can even work after living what borders on a lifetime (mentally) in France/Australia? No one! (Except me, because sleeping pisses me off mostly!)

(two paragraphs? ohmygod) So also, because again, breaks are like offensive to my delicate sensibilites, I’ve got these grand plans for a good time at the June 20, L.A. concert portion of the Coach Benefit to support the Red Cross. Combining a cause with my workaholism seems to have benefited me in the past, like, a lot, because altruism is a grand thing, so please join with me in feeling the warm fuzzies of helping people and come on out to the show. Starting this summer, I’m also engaged! No date yet, probably a few months from now because I’m busy living life large and stuff, but I will most def. keep you posted as details arise~

Peace out, Cub Scouts!

have some more for your trouble, that was one tiring read.
