After 10 Years of not having a day job I have a day job.. And No I'm not going to tell you what it is.. because I don't want to be fired. I am thankful for the opportunity I had this weekend.

We all know that the true Hollywood elite are not the suits that run the studios...its the Mafia. The Mafia has allowed Hollywood to run a muck. All you gotta do is pay your dues to the Mafia.
