As I tap away at the keys today I am gently dusting from my neatly quaffed hairdo bits of sticky cloud, as that is quite obviously where my head has been for a good many months. I try and I try and I try to stay focussed but that’s really just not me. However, a lot, and I’ll repeat that if you don’t mind, a lot has happened since we last spoke. You first. No? Alright then, where to begin? I believe we left off as I was preparing to make the worst dressed column at the T.O. film festival. Sadly, it didn’t happen however I did drink a lot at make a fool of myself on a number of occasions so that’s something right? The festival was quite a succces for the launch of “Ill Fated” which has just finished a run in Canadian theatres and is potentially about to debut overseas. Exciting. After Toronto I went to Victoria for a month to work on a “B as B can get” horror flick which was absolutely the most fun I’ve ever has working on a movie. It’s called “Severed” and it’s about a kid (me of course) whose father sends him off into the forest to find out why logging production has stopped. And why had it stopped? Because dummy! All of the loggers had been infected with growth hormones and were eating each other. What the shit else could it be? Anyway that was a horribly fun time and it should be out on a cable channel near you any time now. After I got back from Vic I flew straight to Australia to visit my sweetheart and spent an amazing month surfing and munching on Veggiemite. It so beautiful and I absolutlely did not want to leave but the rain and dreary weather back home were bending there collective index finger in a come hither motion so unfortunately I had to return. However, my sweetheart came back to Van two weeks after I got back back and moved in with me. Sweet Lovin’. Then I flew to L.A and booked the very first pilot that I auditioned for which was a half hour sitcom for the WB called “Nobody’s Watching” (you’ll feel the irony when you find out how the story ends) It was the latest project from Bill Lawrence who created “Scrubs” and “Spin City” and was written by the two head writers on “Scrubs” who also worked on “Family Guy”. How’s that for a big stinky shitbomb of name dropping? Anyway, we did the pilot at Universal Studios and it was fantastic and the show turned out so so well but for some fracked up reason it just didn’t get picked up. However, I did make some really good friends and I got to see Alan Thicke sing the “Growing Pains” theme song so no matter what I’m dying a happy man. Lucy and I spent three months surfing in California during the pilot shoot and then we came back in April so I could begin working on season two of “Battlestar” which has been going just swimmingly. That pretty much brings us up to date. Did Imention that I’ve been growing a beard? No? Well I am. It looks pretty crap. I will also be at the Gatecon conference this week in Vancouver if anyone cares. Lisa I already know you’re comeing so never mind that remark. Thats it for me man. I probably missed out a bunch of crap but you can always contact me through the mediablvd link…. formore crap. Crap.
That’s right sportsfans, the first season of Battlestar is finally winding down and oooooh what a ride it’s been. Oh what a ride. I’ve actually just watched the first three episodes as well as the ninth (I only watched that one because I have a little naughty biz wit D.) and boy oh boy oh boy is it hot. Hot hot hot hot hot. The show’s actually pretty good which is pleasing beacuase there’s nothing quite as dissatisfying as dedicating five months of your precious life to a steaming dung heap. Soon to be unemployed, I’m just gearing up for the T.O. film festival. I have no idea what to expect. In fact my only goal is to get into “People” mag’s worst dressed column. Shouldn’t be tough, I’ve got some pretty ugly shit. On bit of a side note, it’s a little weird writing all this stuff down. I mean, who am I actually talking to? It kinda feels like it’s just me sometimes. And if it’s not then who the hell are you? Oh, hi by the way. You. I know that we really don’t know each other but I really feel like I can talk to you. It’s the strangest feeling. I feel so safe with you. O.k but seriously, enough about me. Tell me a bit about yourself. Oh, the silent type. I see. Be that way you rusty balloon knot. I hope you die. I’m sorry, I get a little worked up sometimes but it really feels like it’s just all me me me. So what, what’s it to you? It’s my website. Get your own. Just kidding. Wait, come back. I still love you. Fine, I hate you. Alright seriously, I’m glad we had this little chat. It really feels like we don’t talk anymore. Anyway, my life is great right now. Things are looking up, always up. Thanks for reading, come again soon.
Just thought I’d check in and keep yall abreast of the going-ons in my life even though I can only think of about three people that actually care. I just got back from a sweet trip to Santa Cruz with my friend Lucy. The surf was pretty flat but we occupied ourselves with other California type activities, a little sun, a little skateboarding a little whatnot. I’m back on the grind now with Battlestar getting ready to shoot the final two episodes of the first season. The show looks great and everyone’s pretty excited to see it have a go. The I’m off to Toronto in a couple of weeks to support “Ill Fated” which is in the film festival. Do some shoulder rubbing, a little hob-knobbing if you will, should be a riot. Other than that, just keepin it real occupies most of my time. And believe me I’m keeping it real. Really real. The realist. To quote Lucy “stay cool fools
Well hotdaaaawg, welcome to the official ”Love Paul Campbell/ Teen Idol/Heartthrob/Superstar Extrordinaire” website. It feels kinda like home. Oh, regarding my sense of humor. I have one. If at any time you find yourself offended by my writing please take any action you feel neccessary to address the fact that you don’t. When I joke about being a bit of a plumpy it’s because I was. Loser, loner and weird woodshop kid? Yup, yes and still am. I feel better already. I know you’re here because I’m such a star and you adore me, and to be perfectly honest I couldn’t eat it up faster if I had Steven Tyler’s mouth. So stick around, ask some questions, stay away from the the crab-dip and try not to hate me ’cause I’m beautiful. Cheers. Oh, and fat kids rock.
