titles in red are ones i really want to see

tv shows i am watching (and you should also)

 I love 2 Broke Girls!I originally only wanted to see it because of Kat Dennings (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist,Defendor)who i love and adore!but then i just fell in love with the whole show!funny,real,and well cast. the funniest thing about this show is the two broke girls Max and Beth ,HAVE A CHAMPION RACE HORSE AS A PET! and if the sold it they wouldn't be broke and could really jump start their dream of owning a cupcake shop.

 this is just a fun show!i want to buy storage lockers!you have the evil guy  David (who i would love to learn the business from)Darrell who is a veteran storage buyer,the young gun Jared and his attractive baby momma Brandy,with my favorite guy Barry (who is the most interesting person,i want to know more about him,like how many cars he owns, and all the stuff he has collected.)they say it is a scripted show and i don't care,it is just fun!

 Nothing will make up for the loss of Charlie Sheen ,who with Jon Cryer are the show!but with Ashton Kutcher as Walden, it is making for some funny laughs.i give it a season and it will either end or Sheen will have to come back.(true)

 I wanted to watch this because Stephen Lang (Tombstone)was in it,and i like the survival concept of man vs. dinosaurs.it just is a good show. i watch with my son Caleb.i wish they would make and sell the Terra Nova clothes in stores.

 i wanted to see this one because my "dream girl" Zooey Dechanel ((500)Days of Summer) is the star of it ,and this has the best cast and i laugh and laugh with every episode. i love you Zooey!

 The best show on T.V. (enough said) Kunal,Simon,and Johnny are needing some Awards!just saying

true fact i applied for Survivor once, after it first aired.i would love to go on this show, not for the money but just to see if i could do it!plus the should make a Survivor theme park!i would love to play all of the challenge games! hook me up!

Cycling Home From Siberia-book review

Imagine, you and nothing but your bicycle,along with the kindness of strangers, that you meet along the way,and everyday riding your bike in snow,rain,up big hills ect..well this is a wonderful,true adventure of Rob Lilwall and his 3 year bike journey from Sibiria all the way to England.i wish i could do a adventure like Rob,but i sure love to read about other people and their adventures.i highly recommend this book to all who love learning about different countries and the human spirit and the will to never give up.he also raised money along the way for a charity called Viva.The heart of Viva’s vision is to see children at risk kept safe and healthy, given opportunities to learn and allowed the chance to play an active part in shaping their own futures.

One Week Job-book and documentary review

just finished a good book and it's companion documentary that i picked up at my local library.  'ONE WEEK JOB'. it is about a guy Sean Aiken who graduated college, but did not know what he wanted to do for a career.he came up with  an idea to do a job a week for a whole year.that is 52 jobs my friends! he simply made a web page and then emailed and facebooked all of his friends and the jobs came. i thought the book would be have more detail as to all of the jobs.sometimes he only gives them a quick mention and Sean spends alot of time in his book and documentary talking about Danna,a girl he quickly fell in love with.both the book and  documentary are somewhat enjoyable but lacking in alot of  detailed content.i preferred the documentary over the book.but together they combine for a great adventure.i think everyone would benefit from checking out what Sean has accomplished.it may help you in trying to find your dream job!as i was reading and watching Sean,i kinda wish i could also have a job a week for a year!as i am only one of the many that do not know what to do when they grow up.

I am famous...yah right!

i had a mention in an article for the New York Observer on  May 26th titled Will Tweet for Work! How Not to Become a Personal Assistant 
http://www.observer.com/2011/will-tweet-work-how-not-become-personal-assistant


 "Stephen Mayes (@stephenmmayes) of Idaho Falls, Idaho, fits into the latter category. He routinely tweets at celebrities like Lady Gaga and Kristen  Stewart, offering up his services as an assistant. In addition to running a movie blog called The Getting Spot, he purports to be a social media expert and notes on his Twitter bio: “Get to know me I am cool!” A dad of three who was laid off his job as a medical records clerk nearly two years ago, he dreams of a job that’s interesting and glamorous. “It would offer a better opportunity to travel and meet other people,” he told The Observer, “and maybe a better income than what I would have living in Idaho.” So far, none of the celebrities has taken Mr. Mayes up on his offer."

I had hoped it would have landed me a sweet job with some famous person or landed me on a few talk shows.but nothing ever happened.but i still feel like Charlie Bucket from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory hoping that someday i will get my Golden Ticket...........

possible dream jobs.
