Hard to ignore
this. I do have a tendency on this website to
romanticize my life, but the symbolism here is just
too much. When you've only ever rooted for one college
football and one professional football team your
entire life and they just happen to identically mirror
your ascension into...something, ya gotta take
note.
The first entry in
September was the phone call from CBS and it was also
the beginning of both the Buckeyes season and the
Bears season. As the miraculous month in New York
unfolded, both teams remained undefeated and I even
mentioned the Bears' miraculous win against Arizona
and paralelled it to my day on The Sopranos' set.
Amazingly, and astronomically, both teams got to the
championship. It was by all means my year and my
career seemed to follow their fates to the
T.
Then
we get to the championship game. In
both games, unbelieveably, for the
first time in the history of either game,
my team returned the opening
kickoff
for a 90+ yard touchdown...
...and
then blew the game.
Whew.
Now I believe
only sports fans can appreciate the odds against that
happening at all, let alone the only 2 teams I've ever
rooted for in my life. Match that with my career
sky-rocketing at the exact moment of each team
starting their seasons... it's just the
definition of a "head-shaker".
Of course, I
believe this is where my career and the eerie
similarities will end and I will do what these two
teams couldn't. Tomorrow morning I present the
finished Price is Right bit to Bob Barker and
hopefully convince him to be in the bit which
we've already scheduled to shoot this Thursday
afternoon. That completed bit will not only be the
season finale for Living Room Live but will be the
centerpiece for all future sit-com pitches showing
without a doubt that I can play 5 seperate
characters in a sit-com like atmosphere and convince
you they're seperate people with ease. As I've
mentioned before, seeing it play out on that
set adds so much credibility to what I'm
doing...you just couldn't ask for a better
presentation piece during a pitch.
That is what
I believe. That is what I control. The romantic
in me however cannot believe the other shit
though. LOL. Hopefully it's a funny footnote when this
year is over...
