Actors are supposed to be eccentric, after all they are playing someone who is not them. I took Acting 101 two years ago and I learned nothing, however, what I discovered is that actors go to great lengths to get the part known as method acting. People like Daniel Day-Lewis and Christian Bale (although his American Accent is terrible, later blog post) have been put on the A-list because of method acting. Basically, an actor lives like the character and records every emotion they have when placed in a situation for example if an actor is playing a cop he/she then studies what a cop does on a typical day and records any emotion. During filming method actors stay in character on and off the set.
Usually these actors get critically acclaimed in every movie they star in, which is fine because they work really hard (have you seen Gangs of New York?). However, when someone becomes too overly eccentric you become overly dramatic or what I like to call "a fuckin disaster." Which brings me to Nicolas Cage, the ipitame of horrible actors. Don't get me wrong at one point Nicolas Cage was a great actor, but I think that Cher smack him so hard in "Moon Struck" that I think he forgot how to be one. Nicolas Cage studied acting for six months having role models such as Robert DeNiro and Lawrence Oliver. Eventually, he said the hell with the acting I think that I'm just going to make up my own method up called "Nouveau Shamanic." I don't even think this is a word in English, French, or Entish (Lord of the Rings) but it's just a made up excuse for being a terrible actor. If you ever watch any Nicolas Cage movie that he starred in begining with the horrid remake, "Gone in 60 Seconds" and any movies after, here are some helpful tips to help you comprehend if your watching a bad Nicolas Cage Movie. Also, a youtube video for your thoughts:

Hooking Up: The Need for Casual Sex Gone?
In the words of Lil Kim "I've been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off." For this reason I apologize to the two people that I have reading "Are you there SoCo it's me, Dan?", but there was nothing interesting that I found to write about or that happened to me. I could have written about the near catastrophic Apocalypse that happend on May 21st, but I didn't hear back from the Devil about his retirement and me taking over Hell. 
Going back to the title of the blog post, I found an interesting CNN report about the "hook-up culture." This is just another ambiguous media term for casual sex, like sexually active or terrorist, which means all people of the Middle East or Dearborn, Michigan. To summarize the article, college students are saying no more to casual hook-ups because of rejection or to use one of my mantras "hit it or quit it." These nights are fueled with drinking before hand and then hooking up with a random person. They say that they're tired, I say that sounds like a good night. There are plenty of benefits to hooking up, one not being emotionally available. My favorite benefit is that you can use a fake alias like, Saaphaire or Dominic James. This is useful when you know that the person is going to Facebook you the next day. In addition to my favorite benefit, you can use fake numbers if you know that the person is going to call you like the rejection hotline. Also, if this person is at your house and you just got out of the shower you can say, "I have to take a shower and by the time I get out, you'll won't be here" ( make sure they leave before you start the water). The only rule that I have is don't hook-up with someone you know, especially if you hang out in either the same circles. Also, PRACTICE SAFE SEX!
