“Witnessing this was a draining feeling being terrified for other people’s lives all day long, it’s life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life.” - Kelly Slater

This is awesome.

Jonathan Winters was making big improv choices before I was born. I was pretty amazed to see him make such clear, scenic choices. One of the forefathers of what we do now. Worth a look.

This is dumb but it made me smile. (Sing the previous sentence to the tune of the Nationwide Insurance theme song).

Rosie O’Donnell and Janeane Garofalo will be relegated to playing the female versions of Chris Farley. Hollywood doesn’t want a woman that is not sexually enticing like Rosie; it wants the sexual alpha female. The same trend is being seen on reality TV [with] Snooki and all the Real Housewives.

VERY true, relevant, and current stuff from VERY reputable Fox News Entertainment “Expert” Patrick Wanis about “female Chris Farleys” (VERY NOW!)

Guys, Patrick Wanis is a Celebrity Life Coach to HULK HOGAN. HULK. HOGAN. I think he understands the issues facing women in comedy, okay? Jeez.

This sums things up nicely. Also interesting is the idea of crowdsourcing demands, which points to how the internet and social media have shaped the thought processes of the younger generations. We’re not only used to constant chatter and differing opinions every single day, we have to make sense of them. It’s changing the way we think. VIVA LA CLOUD!
