First off...oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!!!! Tonight for a school function they opened up a Target store only for freshmen (and those with connections) to shop for a while. There were special sales and deals, as well as a camera crew.

What were they filming for you might ask? Well...Jimmy Kimmel Live of course. So one, I might be on television because I did get interviewed. I'll be the hippy with the bright red nervous face.

Now your next question might be...why were you nervous...well the director of the piece was none other than Bobcat Goldthwait. Comedian, actor, writer, director.... who has appeared in such work as Freaked, Blow, Police Academy, as well as tons of television shows, and years of stand up.

Just three weeks prior I was sitting and watching Sleeping Dogs Lie, a film he wrote and directed. It was insane. Now get this. I gave him my business card....yes....me....Gave a business card to Goldthwait. He could have thrown it away as soon as I walked away and I wouldn't care. I did it.

Besides that today was a complete shitfest. Turns out the girl I was pretty in love with didn't really care about me as much as she liked to say she did. But that's life, what can you do? BOBCAT!!

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

Well it's official, i'm single again. Completely unattached type of single. Crazy shit. It's been almost two solid years since i've been completely single. Any SG's want a date? haha....love all of you. Peace

As of last night I am once again single. It's been a rough two days between that and some of the training i'm going through. Plus on top of that i'm decorating an entire hallway. It's been nuts. Any SG's out there want to take this single guy out on a date? eh eh? haha....well....I must go spray paint. Peace and love

So it's been about three months since my last blog, so I guess that means it's about time I updated this profile. Perhaps throw up some new photos, even this new blog. Yippee. This evening I find myself very peaceful, munching on one of my favorite snacks of white bread and a little I Can't Fucking Believe It's Not Butter! and wondering when it will be when they have caffeine infused Margarine Spreads. Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington are blaring out of my speakers at 11:30, it's a good night.
With the immense amount of free time i've had this summer I have developed a new hobby of making and spraying stencils. Sadly i've only sprayed on poster board, but only because my roommate would rat me out in a minute if anyone questioned him. I'll post some pictures of what i've made so far, some of it is decent and some of it kinda sucks. But let me know what you think so far.
Beyond work, a speeding ticket, stencils, and two trips to First Friday this summer has been pretty boring. Hopefully once there are people around again i'll do something interesting and tell all of you about it.

Note for anyone in Texas/Texas SG group- i'm definitely going to be stuck in Texas for my winter break for atleast two weeks. If there is anything going on make sure you let me know so i'm not too bored.

Peace and love to all of you,
Forrest Avery

Well finals week is practically over, which is good. Although I was never really that stressed. But this blog is not about school, or my life, or the fact that I just redyed my hair and it's pretty friggin sweet. This blog is dedicated to my love of Charlie Chaplin. As for filmmakes/storytellers go Chaplin is by far one of my alltime favorites. He is a master of comedy, drama, and raising social issues. You gain quite an appreciation for an artist after studying them for 10 weeks straight. Since it is 12:30 in the morning and I have nothing else to do besides watch Limelight and post a new SG blog here is a list of my favorite Chaplin films.
1. The Great Dictator
2. City Lights
3. Limelight
4. The Kid
5. One A.M.
6. The Circus
7. The Rounders
8. Monsieur Verdoux
9. Modern Times
10. Easy Street

Mostly just the work he did under United Artists and First National. Well there's the new blog, couldn't really think of anything else to write about. If anyone in the Vegas area wants to kick it sometime over the summer drop me a line, i've got quite a bit of free time.

I'm in love with music...and it is one of the only things that can consistantly get my ass moving. Figured i'd throw up a quick blog of the new albums i've been diggin for anyone looking for some good tunes. If you know of something I should check out let me know.
+Daniel Johnston
+Mel Gibson and the Pants
+Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
+Three Six Mafia
+T.I.
+Flogging Molly
+Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
+Primus
+NWA
+Frank Zappa
Peace and love kids

Today is my nephews birthday, it's crazy to think he is now five years old. I still remember when I saw him in the hospital righ after he was born, weird. My Sundays are always boring with nothing going on, but today I was excited because I was going to give blood, but thanks to my tattoo I can't give blood again until August, unless I get another.
I want people opinions on an idea I have for my next piece. A scar piece on the outside of both of my calves, one being a long stem rose on my right calf, and on my left a long barrel pistol. Let me know what you think. Hope everyone has a great day. peace

This is a TODAY ONLY sort of thing. I have two tickets to see Collin Quinn, of SNL Fame, for tonight at The Joint. Which is located inside the Hard Rock Hotel. They were given to me sort of last minute and to be honest as of right now i'm not even sure what time the show is. I'm also putting up a post on my myspace and such to see if there is anyone on here interested in going. My plan is to just walk since I live within walking distance. If anyone is interested let me know, either on here or feel free to call. 612.751.0561. Peace and Love

Today was an expedition to buy my nephew his birthday gift. And as I am his only uncle it's my job to be as 'bad' of an influence as possible to this five year old boy. There is a kids play set out now called I-tattoo, where you get a simulated tattoo machine, different colors, and stencils so you can give your friends tattoos. So I walked to Toys 'r' Us...no luck. Walked to the mall...KB Toys is completely gone. Walked to Target...No luck. Finally I just ended up ordering it online, which means it's going to be late. Fuck. But on the journey I did find him a small punk style Rancid t-shirt. Charlie Chaplin class in less than an hour, which I already plan on being late to. Someone say hello so I have something to reply to when I get back later. Love you all. Peace
Forrest

It's official...i'm sick.
Henry Rollins make me feel better!! Anyone out there bored should listen to this spoken word/stand up. Like any of this 'Talk is Cheap' albums. Or check out the band 'Mel Gibson and the Pants'. Take care everyone
