MY BIRTH - DAY!!!

This is the first time in over a week that I've had a block of time free to sit and blog... pretty amazing and it feels good.

As most of you know last Sunday was my birthday bruncheon at Saddle Ranch! After we went to WeHo to The Abbey where we sipped on martinis and mojitos for a few hours - oh, and Greg ordered a chocolate fondue for us - then we hopped over to Fiesta Cantina and Here bar, ending the night off at Canters for some Matzo Ball soup.

We were out for 11 hours partying in total... it was an amazing party filled with friends and love! Something that Sister (Josephs sister but I call her sister too... that's another story) said to me on the way to The Abbey that pretty much somes up the day is "I like drinking in the day time, I feel naughty."

WEDDING BELLS

Today is my friend Aj's wedding. I've known Aj for about four years now, originally meeting him at Mimi's Cafe in Long Beach! He is marrying a girl named Yassie Tran and I think she is the luckiest humanbeing because of Aj's gentleness and charm. To view their engagement video check out the video below, but if you want to see their wedding Web site log on to www.adamandyassie.com

To each of you that sent me any sort of communication yesterday I am so thankful for you.

QUICK UPDATE

I've been meaning to blog for a few days now, but of course with my schedule - time hardly permits me these days!

So good morning to ya'll and thank you for reading my blog. I should thank you every time I post a new thought on here, just like Angel Benton does on his blog. Have you ever listened to his blog before? Anyway, I am getting off track... check out his blog he always has something interesting to say!!!

Yesterday morning my new friend Marcy and I woke up early to go try out for the Big Brother 9 in Hollywood. The odds of us getting picked? Very slim! But it was a lot of fun to go try out for a show and even be considered... really it was!! I tried out for a MTV reality show about ten years ago and was almost selected. I think they said out of 5,000 people I made it down to the final ten, out of which they needed five people... not bad, eh?
After we tried out we swung by The Grove and then I had to get home for my family dinner at Saladang Song in Pasadena! Saladang is a Thai restaurant that actually has two locations that sit right next to each other. One is a more family dining kind of atmosphere, being very simple, looking like your average Thai restaurant. The other Saladang, called Saladang Song (Song in Thai means Two or Second, so it fits that it is called Saladang Song.) This restaurant is a architectural wonder to say the least. More for celebrations and intimate dates, it almost feels as if you're sitting in a glass greenhouse. As you enter the restaurant you instantly notice the two cemenent walls/pillars that surround you, almost as if you're in a castle. As shown the picture above the cement walls have intricate steel welding incorporated in the design. If you dine at night the reflection of the small pond glimmer on the cement walls adding a more romantic feel to the restaurant. Oh, and did I mention the food is not too shabby either? Try the Asparagus Salad if you go and the Pad Thai! The salad is warm and is served with a warm peanut dressing... so damn good!

Today is my actual birthday party brunch at Saddle Ranch on Sunset Boulevard! We are leaving in about an hour so I can't write much longer but I promise I will go into more detail tomorrow... promise!!!

Love you all... talk soon!!

I love the Spice Girls. They first came to be when I was just out of high school and and just ending my teen years! I can remember when they first broke every girl at my old job Mimi's Cafe had to look, dress and talk like the fab five! Leslie, Mari, Dawn, Carrie they all were a Spice. Shit, I remember I was sucked into the glam glitter life style! Before I was out to myself, I was donning glitter, flair pants, flambuoyant flair shirts and platform shoes!

HAPPY DAY

As most of you know, every day I begin my day by watching ABC and end my day watching ABC.
It just so happens that Good Morning America and Nightline are two of the best produced telelvision news programs on TV today, and when I have time I love to watch World News Tonight with Charlie Gibson.

Yesterday was probably one of the best days in a long while when it came to delivering compelling, human interest news - in my opinion anyway! Four stories really caught my eye in particular. Check them out below if you're interested, and I know you will be!

4. In Pakistan, opposition leader Benazir Bhutto (left, photo courtesy of ABC NEWS)was haulted on Friday from attempting to hold protest rally's. Bhutto and her supporters are pushing for democracy in a country that has been reluctant to change with the times. Bhutto was placed under house arrest yesterday, forbidden to leave her compound by local officials - barbed wire, police brutality, road blocks, and tear gas have been prominent in the city. To read more log onto the following site: ABC INTERNATIONAL NEWS

3. I watched the Country Music Awards earlier in the week and saw a mesmorizing performance by American Idol alumn Kellie Pickler that paralyzed me! If you watched Pickler when she was A.I. she played the 'dumb girl role' while on the show that was neither cute or impressive - what a long way she has come! On the CMA's she sang the song called 'I Wonder,' and by the end of the song she was in tears on the stage barely being able to continue the song. The entire audiene lept to their feet and applauded the song. As I sat there I wondered as to why the song was so meaningful to her? Usually I am a stickler for lyrics but I didn't catch the lyrics I was just enjoying the song - yah, very strange for me to just enjoy a melody without giving any thought the lyrics! Two days later Good Morning America ran the following story which explains Kellie's song which is in fact about her relationship with her estranged mother. Watch the story and Pickler's performance below!






2. The following story made my Friday morning! How often do we see someone on the street, in the next car, at a club or on the subway but have neglected to say anything? Well New Yorker Patrick Moberg was another statistic but then decided to do something about it after spotting his 'dream girl' in a NYC subway! He created a website NYGirlOfMyDreams.com and believe it or not found the girl of his dreams in less than a week! To make a long story short, Camille Hayton is from Austrailia, her apartment recently burned down, then heard about the Web site from a friend, met Patrick on Thursday night to talk and was on Good Morning America Friday morning to talk about the site he put up in a quest to find her. Read and watch the story by clicking here! Patrick Moberg and Camille Hayton's Story!
I may be a big sap but this story gives me the inspiration to fall in love!!!


1. This story I chose as the most important news because we are guilty of being prejudice towards the homeless! On World News Tonight (last night) they named one of my favorite female singers/musicians as their PERSON OF THE WEEK. If you guessed Natalie Merchant you'd be correct! There is a new music compilation out right now called 'Give Us Your Poor,' that was put together to help end homelessness on the streets. Now what is so great about this disc is that both the spoken word and music was written by people who are or have been without a home at one time. Natalie Merchant, Danny Glover, Keb Mo, Medeleine Peyroux (I LOVE HER), and Mario Frangoulis all lend their voices and time on this amazing CD that has both some really strong lessons and songs! Frangoulis penns my favorite song on the disc called 'Feels Like Home.' The song, both touching and catchy is a knock-out that I'm sure you will like. Watch it below!!!



Have you ever heard of music for the soul? Well this is that kind of disc. Go buy it, or give it as a gift... they will enjoy it!

RUNNING WITH SCISSORS

I've been so busy the last few days with working both jobs I've totally neglected my blog. It means so much that people MySpace me and ask me how come I haven't updated my blog... WOW, people actually read my cyberspace input!

The last few weeks have been crazy to say the least. Working two jobs have both good and bad sides. The good: a whole hell of a lot of extra cash. The bad: my dog pretty much hates me!

Monday at work I came out to an employee at my job Beckham Grill. Marcy, also known as the psychic one, looked me up on MySpace and while my profile is set to private she still saw my sexual orientation as being gay. At first she dismissed it as the profile not being me but then later on in the evening she just straight out asked me if I was gay or not. Of course I said yes... I have a policy that if anyone asks me I will tell them without hesitation. I explained to her how I am a reluctant to just tell people that I am gay especially at restaurants because I would rather the employees get to know me for being Scott first and not "Scott the Gay Guy" - which I will probably end up anyway, but I feel that if the str8 guys and the back of the house gets to know who you first they will be a a little more tolerant when they find out that you're a homo - LOL!

Since I've been working my second job I have been missing all of my favorite night time television shows like Heroes and Kid Nation. I am going to try and catch up this weekend... that's a goal of mine!

I have also been trying to plan my birthday party which is a few weeks away! 2-9 here I come and this year instead of having a big night time party I have chosen to do a Sunday brunch at Saddle Ranch Chop House on Sunset Boulevard. Have you ever been before? They have some good food, the mechanical bull and $10 bottomless mimosas to boot!

So far 17 (or so) people have RSVP'd for it and I am honestly hoping to have only 30 people, at the most! Anything more than that gets very overwhelming and confusing. Now if 50 people come I'd feel truly blessed but I don't think that's going to happen... we'll see!

Finally, I have started to prep for the second annual WeHo XXX Awards which will be happening at the beginning of February. Stay tuned for more info on that! Okay I gotta run...

TOLD YOU SO

I don't want to say I told you so but "i told you so!" As I recall when Heather Mills first entered the Dancing With The Stars competition last season America loved her and saw her as a beautiful (one legged) dancing queen! From early on I was on to her, I remember her early claims that Paul McCartney (according to Trailerparkbarbie) forced Mills (after her revision amputation surgery) to crawl on her hands and knees up aeroplane steps because they were not wide enough to fit her wheelchair. Oh and this was pretty insane too: "Mills asked McCartney if she could buy an antique bedpan to keep under the bed at night so she wouldn’t have to crawl to the bathroom when her prosthetic leg was not fitted. McCartney objected, saying it would be like being in “an old woman’s home.”

When I told my family of her other crazy claims hey snarled at me saying how nice she appeared and that the claims were likely just fabrications.

Now if you've been reading Perez Hilton and listening to radio outlets the world now knows how crazy Heather is! In fact this morning on The View Barbara Walters even spoke out against Mills!

This is just another one of my long lists of celebrity's that I predicted would go off the deep end! Tom Cruise was my first celebrity prediction that I knew was crazy and would not support his movie career because of my prediction. Another one I feel strongly about am awaiting his public downfall is The Fresh Price Will Smith! Yes, he's crazy too - just watch! I liked him in iRobot but other than that he's a crazy and when his private life goes public you can revert back to this blog and I will again say
"TOLD YOU SO!"

LOTTERY

Last night I had a dream that I was playing $10 worth of $2 lottery tickets. My friend Justin was calling me crazy in my dreams for spending the money but I did anyways! I woke up before I ever scratched off the tickets to see if I had won but I took the dream literally and went to 7-11 today to buy $10 worth of $2 lottery tickets just to say I tried!

Sure enough I won $25! Profitting $15 from my dream. What a lucky day for me huh?
I know it's not a million dollars but it's still fun to win money that wasn't mind to begin with right?

Stay tuned...

ELEGANT, ARROGANT

I am starting to get into the whole English Laundry brand of clothing. I bought my best friend a shirt from EL for his birthday and then bought myself one too! Their catch phrase is Elegant, Arrogant, English Laundry!

The shirts are not cheap but are known for their flare and detail! You really need to have the right kind of attitude and posture to where one, not everyone can where a English Laundry shirt!

SCOTT. SCOTT BAIO

When I was a kid I remember my friends used to call me Scott Baio. This was hardly an insult to me! Scott Baio if you remember was the ultra hot live-in nanny on the show "Charles in Charge." I bring this up because at work last week we got season two of the show. I loved the shows intro! What was your favorite television show intro? Here are a few others that I love!!!




My Three Favorite Cartoons As A Child




And This Was My Favorite Cult (short-lived) TV Show. Do you Recognize It?

GOOD AND BAD TV

Like most Americans (and the world) I enjoy television as much as the next person!

Heroes, Kid Nation, Brothers and Sisters, and Good Morning America are just some of my favorite guilty pleasures that I watch either daily or weekly! For some that don't know me very well you might not be aware that my all time favorite show is I Love Lucy. Did you know that? I think I can go out on a limb and say that I Love Lucy is also my brothers favorite show of all time too!

Today I just saw a new episode of I Love Lucy and I was so happy! Maybe I should clarfiy, it wasn't a new episode it was just one to me and that coming from me is saying something, I was certain I had seen them all. This episode was about a British admirer/starlette who was extremely fond of Ricky and Lucy wasn't having any of the flirting that was going on. I will save you with the entire detail of the program but Lucy ends up on a horse by the end of the episode which brought me to tears! Another part of the episode that was halarious was when the starlette wanted to get Ricky by himself so she asked permission from Lucy to take him to a luncheon. Lucy said the only way he could go was if she attended also. The British bitch said she would have invited Lucy but she only has a two-seater so she wouldn't know where to put Lucy. Lucy said "Why don't you tie me on the front of the car like a deer?!"

Okay maybe you had to be there to watch it... but it was funny! On the otherhand something I can't stand is bad television and when I was watching Ugly Betty on TV this past Thursday I was sick to my stomach on what bad TV the show is!

As you know the show is supposed to take place in New York City but is filmed almost entirely in Los Angeles. I know that a lot of shows are done this way but in the last few months I have watched as Ugly Betty uses obvious Los Angeles' backdrops, trying to pull them off for New York City clubs. Last season they used the Aston Kutcher invested restaurant "THE GEISHA HOUSE." Maybe I am being too picky since half of the country has no idea what "The Geisha House" is but why should they ruin it for the Los Angeles locals?

This week the show did it again and it made me even more upset because it involved the musical Wicked! All week long the show was advertising that it would be featuring the musid of the Tony Award Winning show and I was so giddy because I love the music of Wicked so much! When I got home they again tried to make the lobby of The Pantages Theatre to be the lobby of the The Gershwin Theatre in Manhattan. Not only did Ugly Betty ruin it for LA residents but they also ruined it for the NYC residents also. I was also excited to see the original cast of Wicked on Ugly Betty, but of course that wasn't going to happen either because the cast was the LA cast!

Again, maybe I am being way too picky but I feel that when a television show has milions of dollars for each episode they should do their best to make a great show that will be impressive 50 years from now just like I Love Lucy!

TO HELL AND BACK

Yes I’m alive! Yesterday I was unable to write any form of a blog because I as in the fetal position all day. Halloween was the craziest Halloween so far to date!

As you can see from the pictures I was a sailor and although I went by myself I met up with Ceasar, Danny, their friends and my boss Morgan. We started off at Motherlode but then ventured on to HERE where I saw my “boyfriend” (he’s not really my boyfriend, instead Pablo (left) is a ultra hot bar back/bartender at HERE Lounge who I think is very handsome and hot!) At first, several of months ago when I started calling Pablo my boyfriend he kept telling me no, and that he had a boyfriend already. It took a few months of getting used to but he soon realized that I wasn’t’ going to give up and that his boyfriend (Fernando, who also works at the bar) was okay with me calling Pablo my boyfriend.


By 8 p.m. I was drunk, which could be blamed on not eating dinner and having a modest lunch! Morgan reserved two cabanas at The Abbey and we partied all night long! I saw Daniel Miagany and his friend Leo (right, they were dressed as clowns) as well as DJ Frankie, Tyson (yummy), Ross and a few other surprises! I also met new friends!!!


Lindsay was a girl that I happened to walk by and noticed her standing alone. Both cute and sweet I knew that she wasn’t having a good time. When I inquired why she told me that her friends had left her because they had to work in the a.m., quickly I befriended her and took her under my wing, isn’t she cute? At the same time I was talking with these two guys from France: Mikel and Virgil were their names.

No offense to Mikel because he was a cutie but Virgil was SO DAMN HOT!! Do you think he is cute? He was dressed as Zidane the soccer player from France - how appropriate. I think he mentioned that he was from St. Tropez. I believe Mikel is from Paris... not quite sure. François have you seen any of these guys around town? =)

To sum up the evening we drank three bottles of Effen vodka and got very drunk I think I got home around 3 a.m. and was so thankful that I was home, safe in my bed. P.S. - did i mention that I fell twice at The Abbey. My white sailor suit tells the complete sad story of my fall - needless to say it's very, very dirty!

Okay I am tired of writing and enjoy my pics!!!

Stay tuned...
