The Sexsational Sam Beam


Or, as you might know him, the dude from Iron & Wine. I think it should be a new rule that every indie folk act should have to take pictures like this and make them the covers for their albums.

This Dude Clearly Wrote His Own Bio on IMDB

So the other day, my co-worker Beth had to deal with this dude named Breck Wilson. Apparently, Breck spent some time working in Hollywood. He now manages some Rockabilly band from Joplin, MO, and wants KXUA to help them, since Breck is going to buy the old Gypsy venue here in Fayetteville and is going to start a reality show centered around this band, which will air on MTV at some point. God, I love lunatics. But this story gets even better. So Beth and I are trying to show our other co-workers what this guy looks like, so we Googled him. And was it ever worthwhile. He wasn't lying about being in Hollywood, as he has an IMDB entry that is the gift that keeps on giving:

Mini Biography

Breck Wilson was born in Carthage, Missouri and attended college at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. In 1990 he headed west on Route 66 out of Carthage and landed on the Santa Monica Pier. When confronted by the Pacific Ocean, he decided to back track briefly 22 miles to Hollywood. After regrouping with an employment stint at the Hard Rock Cafe among many other unmentionables, he finally crossed the Pacific to spend most of the early 1990's modeling between Tokyo, Milan, Paris and finally New York City. Most high-profile modeling work includes runway appearances with D & G and Versace in Milan as well as a Bugle Boy campaign and photo shoots in Vanity Fair back in the states. His first break into the film industry was acting opposite Sir Anthony Hopkins portraying a drug-addict in 1995's "Nixon". He has been working within the entertainment industry ever since and has recently launched his own production company.

Trivia

No relation to Bridgette Wilson, although he admits that many fans have asked him about this.

Born in Carthage Missouri, which is also the hometown of Preston Lacy, of Jackass Fame.

According to the IMDB entry for Nixon, Breck is listed simply as "Hippie (uncredited)" in the cast list for the film. All this is good and well by itself, but then Breck gives us the icing on the cake with this:

Random Blogs

So in researching other blogs, I have been using Blogger's "Next Blog" feature. I started off the evening by getting three consecutive blogs that mainly featured pictures of boobs, before getting to a blog about some children in China. The next blog was headlined with this image:

In a cosmic sense, this seems like a logical progression, for some reason.

I Forgot I Even Had This Picture...

My brother and I found this a long time ago on Flickr, but I just forgot to post it...

This Is What the Digital Age Is Responsible For...

OK, so I don't know why I've not been searching random blogs actively to find cannon fodder for blog posts. I'm not going to tell you what I Googled to find this (it was NOT Japanese Porn), as I really don't want y'all to know, but oh, man. I think the picture makes it. I think it might be a cactus and a seahorse?

Back in Bland Cliches

A blackened moth bashes against a yellowed lamppost. Time and again, he finds no love.

So as my readers may have noticed I have been absent for a while and did not post a Halloween special, for which I sincerely apologize. It’s a long sordid story of excuses as to why, involving one or more of the following:

1. Depression

2. Japanese Porn that no one should ever ever look at

3. Illness

4. Writing a novel

5. Applying to schools

6. Shame for not blogging.

Here’s a picture, as promised, made by me in paint. Ranting follows.

[She then talks about some political stuff and NPR, which I'm omitting, as the next section is far more rewarding.]

...Though, I suppose as with all things radicals play their role. However, I may have to turn the dial next time they come on the radio. Classical music, ahhhhh.

Final Comments:

a. Novel

If any one wants to read my novel (it’s terrible), I am open to posting chapters online. It’s not going to sell, so some one might as well enjoy it. It’s about chicks and vampires. There is plenty of blood, sex, and drugs, none of that Stephenie Meyer censorship mind you.

b. Halloween Craft:

I was feeling particularly domestic one day, so I decorated a storage box for my boy friend’s herbal substances. With some glass jars for sugar, ribbon, and glitter sticks for scrap booking, I made a little portable apothecary box for him. Pictures of it, hmm, maybe, some day…

If you’re serious about herb, however, the best way to go is ordering jars from the Container Store. They sell all sorts with silicon seals at around $3, much better than paying a smoke shop $16 to have the same jar with “THC” puff painted on it.

c. Weird Music

To soother my anger, I’ve been listening to “Opium” by Emilie Simon. It’s got a hypnotic quality that makes me feel like sailing on oceans of peace.

Also, Claire Diterzi and Emilie Autumn are fun for an afternoon drive.

More anger next time and may that time be soon.

PS: I love everyone’s comments. Seriously, they warm my bitter little heart. Not even kidding. I’m tearing up a little, but then again that may be hormones.
