After seeing someone do a search for “Ziering going to jail” I was intrigued follow up on this. My page was infact first on the list (A first) BUT more important I stumbled on an article comparing the OC to 90210. The writer uses ‘Ziering’ to describe a lead actor. I suppose it could be a verb too … see for yourself.

From http://espn.go.com/page2/s/simmons/030815.html

…Q: Do you think “The OC” has “Beverly Hills: 90210″ potential? — Joe Dyton, Trenton, N.J.

Fox’s “The OC” has great potential … but it’s no “Melrose” or “90210.”
SG: Potentially. The pilot was tremendous — I haven’t enjoyed bad TV that much since the heyday of “Melrose Place.” They incorporated elements of “90210,” “The Karate Kid” and just about every ’80s movie ever made (evil boyfriends, hot chicks falling for soft-spoken outcasts, the whole shebang). It’s extremely well-done (the first two episodes were directed by Doug Liman, who also did “Swingers” and “Go”). The acting was just good enough that it didn’t detract from the show. Everyone looked good, which is always important. There were just enough holes in the plot that it made you think, “Hey, wait a second …” And the music was perfect.

Of course. I see a few problems here. First of all, the pilot was considerably better than the second show. That scares me. Second, the lead actor (Benjamin McKenzie) is a little too old to be playing a 16-year-old outcast. He’s fine now, but in two years, he could go Ziering on us. Third, in the second episode, one of the characters fondly remembers watching the Pistons-Lakers Finals in “‘86.” Just an egregious mistake. Makes me wonder if the writers are paying attention.

But here’s the big thing: None of the “OC” actors — with the possible exception of the Aryan boyfriend — are bad enough to rate on the Unintentional Comedy Scale, an integral part of 90210’s success. Remember David Silver singing and dancing, Tori Spelling’s cleavage (which looked like a a thumbprint in a pound of ground beef), Noah Hunter rattling out his lines like his mouth was on fire, or every scene with Ian Ziering? Remember Dr. Michael Mancini on “Melrose,” or the immortal Andrew Shue? I’m not sure “The OC” has these things, which brings it closer to “Dawson’s Creek” than anything. And that was the problem with “Dawson” — it always took itself too seriously. That’s why I didn’t like that show. Josh Jackson stumbling through his lines can only go so far.

Anyway, my jury’s still out on “The OC.” After two weeks, I can only give it a 15 out of 10. We’ll see if that changes. And if you don’t like it … well, “Welcome to the SG, bitch.”

It’s great to have a name that carries so much …………… dignity.

As I sit here typing this from the cafe where I work, I realize, Operation UGPISS (Using Goole People to Inflat Site Statistics) reaches farther than just my blog, or a couple of punks looking to google for Soul Caliber porn. I, have infiltrated Google now to such a point that I receive FIRST PAGE listings on some searches. For example, if one were to search for “Paris Hilton Wearing Sunglasses” they would find my page number 3. That’s AMAZING. As to why people are searching for such a thing, I know not. Also, I have monopolized the ’skank searches’ from other towns. With all the slander and crap I have on here about girls from other towns, I often get top listings on google for such searches as ‘naked girl from millburn’ or ‘verona skank’ Yes, such things are trivial and probably worthless, but nothing like this hath brought me such happiness before.

On Saturday night I had my birthday party. I had a ground breaking 6 or 7 people show up. It was really good. I did way too much preparation for such a small party, but whatever. Pizza doesn’t spoil, right? (Pictures of the party are being edited still.)

My students for the class I teach either failed to show up, or suddenly looked very worried and left early. This normally would be a sad event for me, as I need the bucks, but with the imminent release of LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING, It’s a joyous event. Also, their is a brand new The OC on tonight. I was listening to Howard Stern the other day, and apparently Marissa is only 17 years old. This makes me feel especially bad as I am sure their are other people in the world running their own “Operation: UGPISS” and they might be seeing hits from … a certain someone … looking for Naked pictures of Marissa from The OC.

Snow has returned. Though this isn’t the first snow of the season, it’s the first BIG snow of the season. The weater forecasters are forecasting 9-14 inches. For me, this is not so good. I have like 3 airplanes ready to go and be flown. Though, if the wind calms down, I’ll fly in the snow. Nothing looks cooler than snown being thrown everywhere my an airplane in a hover mere inches in the ground.

Today, I took this really cool picture. It goes with the whole theme of my blog. As josh is backward, welcome is backwards. It’s awesome only because it was snowing. On any other day it would have been significantly less good.

Today was nuts. Mr. Seldin was absent, so it was like … Let’s wander. I wandered the whole period. It was pretty good. CHS really has a lot of classes going on at one time. It’s kind of mind boggling such an institution can exist.

After school, it took me and Ashley like 20 minutes to get to my house from school. The important factoid here would be that it would have taken 15 minutes to walk. Which, is really reasonable.

I’m quitting my job, and doing the school musical.

Operation UGPISS (See last post) is a success. I have gotten 3 or for people looking for Paris Hilton Naked sex video tape! Now, they were from weird countries and had some weird domain names … and they definitely went all the way to Page 7 of the results in their search, which I consider “No man’s land” BUT they made it to my page. Something about the fact that when people type in Paris Hilton Naked and they see my blog makes me happy.

UGPISS is a go.
