www.indiebychoice.com, Serene River’s, and a realization!

So today after teaching the kids at the library more about Yu-Gi-Oh, I met up with Mercedes from www.indiebychoice.com to film the intro video for an Ellen contest we’re starting!  Basically, humanpuppet and indiebychoice want to offer underground talent the ability to show us what they got!  Thus we’re offering people the ability to download my song, “The Ellen Song: Do the Ellen” and remix it their way!  Thus officially work for the coolest contest in the world has began!  More details on DO THE ELLEN YOUR WAY will be available as the contest takes root!

 
 
On a strange and interesting twist, while out and about I ran into Serene Rivers!  For those of you who are not aware, she is the very talented women who helped make the Ellen song possible!  If you’ve heard the song, odds are if you’re reading this you have, she’s the girl who brought the whole project together!  To those of you who aren’t aware, she also happens to be my ex girlfriend, probably the only women in the world to truly break my heart, and hands down one of the coolest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of crossing paths with.  I was very pleased to learn that she too is also pursuing her dreams and spiritual aspirations by literally up and moving to LA!  Apparently she is leaving next week!  I truly do wish her the best of luck and happiness in her countless pursuits!  Secretly between you and I, it was really cool running into her again!  I’m very pleased that some force in the universe granted me the ability to see her before she left.  Why that is, who knows?  But to literally be standing there in my cowboy hat, T-Rex chain, and lookin like my normal gorgeous self, as all the girls keep emphasizing here as of late, really made me feel good!   
 
Something about running into her forced me to reflect on all the experiences that have happened in my life since the second time she dumped me LOL!  Excluding the really cool Zimbabwe girl I just met, with a so very sexy British accent, and my Smibbit of months ago, and the other random girls here and there, I’m no longer the same person I use to be!  Since my last bout of heart ache concerning this particular women, I’ve grown in tremendous ways!  For starters, I can officially say that I’ve helped someone else live out their dream!  I can say that I’ve been on CNN, was a finalist for Big Brother 12, literally was a phone call away from being on national TV, finally laid eyes upon one of the greatest creatures ever to walk the earth, Sue the T-Rex!  I did the Ellen dance at the Chicago theater, I’ve made great advancements in the development of my site!  I’ve made so many cool friends and learned the importance of staying focused!  To literally be able to tell people that I was on the radio discussing my mission, to say that I’ve shaken the hand of Mr. Ebert, to be able to say that I’ve done my Ellen dance with thousands of people, and have rediscovered the courage to refuse to accept cultural social constraints from preventing me from pursing my passions, is ridiculously empowering!  The things that have already happened to me and the many cool things that will have become concrete in some manner.  I’m no longer a man with a dream!  I’m a man with a dream who has vested interest and support from numerous individuals within his community!  I can’t even begin to verbalize the way this girl effected and affected my life!  Because of this I truly can say that I’ve been in love, that I’ll always be in love to a certain degree!  The impact of the breakup was something I don’t care to discuss to much to risk looking like a cry baby bitch as my Smibbit would say, but to be able to stand there and realize that I’m still standing!  That life goes on!  That great things have happened to me in a short period of time only helped me recognize how resilient I truly am!  As much as I’ve been sulking these past few days about not being on CBS, I know other opportunities will come!  Other opportunities will come because I made the first ones come along!  I am resilient, I am strong, I’m focused, and I have faith in my own capabilities to keep the momentum goin strong!  To literally be standing there and talking to a girl I had so much of myself invested in and not be phased by it, that is how I know I will overcome any and all pit falls along my Ellen journey!  I have dreams, I have ambition, I have love, and I have enough compassion and courage to change the world!  Love, ambition, and a dream are all that it takes to truly make the world ours!  
 
I am Forest Thomer!  I’m the Self Proclaimed Midwest General in the fight for Ellen world domination!  To some I’m the Ellen guy!  To others I’m that guy!  To many I’m sexy, to a few creepy!  But at the end of the day I know what I’m made of!  I’m going to do great things!  I’m going to help people!  I’m going to make my own heaven on Earth!  I will forever aspire to inspire!  I will not lose focus!  I will not give into the negative and I will always seek to find the benefit of the situation at hand!  I’m Forest Thomer and I know what I’m made of!  If you’re reading this, I wish you much luck and prosperity!  But I can truly say with confidence in these words, whatever spell you had on me has been broken! 

Chicago, twitter, and other stuff!

Right now I have to admit I feel quite defeated!  My dog of 13yrs died yesterday, despite being one of fifty finalist for one of the coolest reality shows in the world, I’m not going to be on because I don’t fit into the cast puzzle, and I got kicked off the Chicago Theater property for dancing!  To top that off, I didn’t even get any of the amazing footage of all the people I had dancing with me in Chicago because security told my camera guy he was not allowed to film.  This was very confusing because they allowed other people to film!  What makes it even more heartfelt is that staff came out and gave free tickets to people waiting around to see Ellen and I was not allowed on that side of the street?  I don’t understand how dancing with Ellen fans at an Ellen show is wrong, but apparently when you get entire crowds to show their support for Ellen World Domination, at an Ellen DeGeneres comedy show, someone didn’t like that!  The one security guard told me I was not allowed to solicit material?  I was handing out pieces of paper, some to Ellen’s staff, that stated I want to dance with Ellen DeGeneres?  Oh, last night @TRexBling and myself tweeted @TheEllenShow 1,000 times in a row asking her to dance with me!  Still haven’t heard anything back.  I guess that means I still have a long road ahead of me!  I also found it weird to see so many Ellen fans in one place who were afraid to dance!  How can you call yourself a true Ellen fan if your afraid to dance to your own beat?  What was even more shocking is that I was the only person with an Ellen mask.  How can tons of Ellen fans come together and I’m the only one with an Ellen mask for Ellen World Domination?  I assume that’s why I’m the Midwest general!
 
On the flip side I met Roger Ebert, totally handed him a www.humanpuppet.com flier, an ex gf bought me dinner, and I survived a night in one of the scariest hotels ever!  All part of the journey to Do the Ellen dance with Ellen DeGeneres!  I don’t really feel like writing anything elaborate right now!  I don’t even feel like getting out of bed and it’s almost 1:00pm!  That was three hard blows back to back!  I’m still standing though, I won’t lose sight of the goal, and I’ll try to turn these negative events into positive ones!  I think the most positive thing about this week, outside of @TRexBling trying to kiss @SUEtheTrex is the fact that I have made history by being the first person ever to introduce The Ellen Dance to Chicago!  TO further emphasize that claim, I’m the first person to introduce The Ellen Dance to Ellen fans at an Ellen DeGeneres event?  Cross your fingers I can get some of the other events I have in the works to pull out something big!

PS: This cool guy put me in his video from Chicago! http://www.youtube.com/user/louenriquez#p/u/0/_WGbOFKpgK8

Thank you Knockback Nats, Karen Wesdorp, Michael Burch,Nicholas Sweeney, mom, my Aunt, and numerous other people from downtown Cincinnati for your contributions to my Chicago Forest Fund (CFF) to see Ellen Fund!  I appreciate all the help I’ve received and will receive on my road to Ellen!  I’d also like to thank the Cincinnati Fringe Fest and The Know Theater for giving me a taste of what’s to come!!! 
 
To the one mean women of my past few days, who pretentiously accused me of not being a true supporter of the art’s, and simply an attention whore, I hope you find much success and happiness in your life!  The entire time you were fumbling to make a point, at times insulting my T-Rex chain, I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking about important stuff!  Important stuff like the American education system, which obviously needs to be reformed because you’re a by-product of it!  Important things like evolutionary mechanics.  Honestly people like you make me question just how important intelligence really is to the procreation of our species!  Important things like why you’d hide your lovely figure behind such an awfully dreadful dress/curtain!  T-Rex took offense to what you said, but then some chick started making out with him and he forgot all about it, BITCH!  Ya that’s right, I just called this evil women a bitch for being mean to T-Rex!  I meant it in a bad way, not in the you’re cool way!  Thus out of our lovely conversation I present to you… 
 
“Why Doth a Playwright Write?”
 
Why doth a playwright write?  Curiosity lived out the pen’s delight?  Is it right to write and accept what is written to be something worthy of one smitten?  What is proper in the articulation of life distraction as a mechanical contraption transcribes a soul’s secrets, the life transposed confides and defines the essence of lives beautiful bribes?  Why doth a playwright write?  Bringing fourth intangible experiences and neuron interpretation of our senses, generating symbolic relics, which mean nothing without an other to bother a brother, a mother, or some other form of genetic combination capable of comprehending all that transcends from one so condescending?  Who defines art, where doth thy pin point place that dart?  Of that word, that nasty art word, I truly believe to define it is absurd.  For when you constrain expression, that is simply a recipe for deception.  For when you define expression, you bring fourth an undeserving oppression.  You nip thy loins of transgression, forcing countless untested and unseen unknowns into regression.  For you to say that art is defined by rules, is like me deciding rocks aren’t tools!  You’re a bitch and T-Rex doesn’t like you!
 
I’m glad I got that out my system!  With this I say to all the artist of the world, and everyone is both an artist and a work of art given the “right” perception, don’t let someone rain on your parade!  If what you do makes you happy, if it allows you to communicate concepts, if it helps define who you are, then keep doing it!  I also recommend you don’t talk shit about my T-Rex!  If he eats you, who am I to stop him?

All journeys have highs and lows!  The difference between people who keep trekking to the top and those who completely derail is that those who succeed don’t get discouraged when they hit a low!  They simply focus on what has gone right and how much potential resides with the future!  They do not fail, they simply acknowledge what did not work out and figure out how to fix it.  When we focus on failures and acknowledge them as failures, then we not only discourage ourselves, but we waste energy and time focusing on something we can not change.  I do not fail, I may have set backs, but they are not failures.  This journey, much like any other is simply a learning experience.  Everyday brings new experiences and new opportunities!  Such as yesterday, while working on some things I ended up talking with a dude who is friends with the man who supplies Ellen’s green room brownies!  Who knows where that will take me, but that is something totally unforeseen!  It’s moments like this that make the experience exciting!
 
A lot of cool things are goin on and it’s time that I get back to it to keep the momentum going.  Within the past month I’ve been on the radio, had a video vetted and ”promoted” by CNN ireport, talked to thousands of people, and other stuff!  So I need to keep at it!  With that said, I’m off to wear my new Ellen DeGeneres underwear!  Yes, I made myself Ellen DeGeneres underwear!  

Really Miss Washington? Really?

What is it about the silent chase that draws my thoughts to a simple taste?
What is it about the simple pleasure executed by a dimple?
How is it that one holds more than another?  That one is better than an other?  That choice is both the greatest gift and worst decision of thrift we can rejoice?
The more I flirt, the more I hurt, the more I erode to dirt.  I put in all the work, only for circumstances to distort, to lose a friend I had promised I’d stand beside to the end.
Of raw emotion, I can’t question my devotion, like the waves of the ocean, my thoughts reside with unnerving motion.  Rocking back and fourth, caressing the bed of your perceived worth.
Your laugh gone, it feels wrong, but my decision, executed with precision, is your choice to rejoice.  
 
I’m not your pet, I’ve paid my debt, and I’m not about to be the loser in this bet.
I played your game and gave you the prize, I wish I had the chance to learn my answer from your eyes.  If you meant what you said, as my tears caressed the bed, as I further lost the mind inside my head, how dare you lead me down the path I tread.  What concoction of joy and selfishness did you blend, to force me to throw it in the open, no restraint with an open gait?  You say, “Go ahead, tell me!  Tell me, it might change the situation!”  It did as I followed through with your bid, it changed the situation, it removed me all together, like shedding some useless feather, you didn’t even attempt to fight, you agreed like everything was alright.  How am I suppose to confide in a person who would let me walk, let me walk without the slightest attempt to talk?  You let me go after forcing me to let you know?  This is why I say goodbye!  You know what I want, I’m tired of the taunt, I’m tired of the shadow, either I’m the one casting it in this blip we all get, or I’m gone, despite the fact I can never be, because you’ve trapped me. 

Largest Ellen Line Dance in the History of the World and Toddler Gods!

As Ellen’s Midwest General I’ve managed to get on the radio and begin one of many attempts at complete world domination!  Last Saturday went amazing and it’s only going to get bigger and better from here!  Lot’s of other cool things are in the works, I’ll keep ya all surprised!  Nothing wrong with a good surprise!
   Laugh, Dance, Conquer! 
 
While on facebook the other day my friend Ada posted an article, “http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science_and_environment/10132762.stm” discussing the fact that humanity has officially created life!  She posted the following comment.
 
“Dr. Verber: “If we can really get cells to do the production that we want,…” So… what that really means is once again, in efforts to learn more about genetic engineering most geneticists’ attempts at creating [from] and consequentially destroying these Knows to obtain their components without knowing how to reconstruct the Knows. …To create new life, we destroy what is, however, we don’t know how to recreate what is.
We can only manipulate the Given to create what isn’t, and without
knowing how to return to the Given, there is no escape in case we
absolutely fuck up humanity. We are toddler gods let loose in a
university lab like it’s the playground at the mall. Scant on parental supervision of the future.”

  

In reality she’s right!  We are the only species publicly disclosed, just in case you believe in ancient astronauts, that have the capability to manipulate so much of what we control.  The great paradox being that we truly do not control anything.  When a species has discovered the mechanics behind life, resulting in the ability to disrupt billion year evolutionary trends simply on a whim, that puts us in a league of our own.  Don’t even start to think down the path of technology and microbiology combining together.  That concept alone implies that humanity has the capability to create a unique phylogenetic chain in and of itself!  The repercussions being much like all things regarding existence, totally unknown and taken on faith!  This is so cool, but so very scary!  The fact that cellular machinery can be turned on and off, reanimating some organisms, provides a whole other level to the interpretation of what life is.  Thus the gist of what I’m getting at from this is that we really have no way to define what life is, what the spark that defines it is about, why it’s important outside of some code doing a  job!  When I think about things like this it helps me put events into perspective. 
  
Upon realizing that we can’t truly define something anyone reading this is doing, LIVING, how in the world can you take anything to heart?  How can you ever truly be offended?  How can you find excuses not to enjoy life?  When realizing something like this, how can you take attacks personal?  To expand the argument, we can’t define our own emotions!  What is love?  What is jealousy?  What is passion?  What is hope?  What is anger?  In one aspect all these things are nothing more than some chemical reaction, the result of some astrocyte, neurotransmitter, synaptic threshold.  Why do we put so much into the meaning behind a gesture, why not just enjoy the pleasures of life, whatever that is?
 
Maybe one of the reasons I’m pondering all this is because today I had to get rid of one of my closest friends.  I love her, but timing and circumstances apparently will never be right.  Even when things felt right something had to come along to mess it up.  I know I love her because I’ve made a valiant effort not to.  I’ve done everything I can do to push her away and I still can’t let go.  I waited to long to say what I needed to say.  I let someone else come along and claim her.  I thought that would help ease getting her out of my head, but it didn’t.  It made it worse, it made me dislike a genuinely nice guy for no fault of his own.  I don’t like being that person, I don’t like disliking someone because I gave them an opportunity they took. 
 
I don’t know when things can be right.  Is it ever the right time to create life?  Is it ever the right time to take on faith the positive implications of generating your own microorganism?  I enjoy talking with her, her company, even her smell.  But I don’t think I can do it anymore.  It’s going to be painful either way I look at it.  But I can’t be the shadow, I won’t be.  Every time I hear her voice or see her face a smile comes to mine.  It’s like the chaos of existence simply dissipates.  Decisions don’t need to be made because I don’t have to think, I just do!   But every time I talk to her, it drives me crazy, in good and bad ways ;)
I love you baby doll, it doesn’t bother me to say that anymore.  I feel sorry for myself that it did.  I hope you stay happy and whenever times get rough you need to realize what you let walk away.  I’m good looking, tall, blonde, and amazing at like everything.  I won’t have any issues, but you will always own a piece of me.  I’m actually listening to “Nobody knows it but me – babyface” as I type this.  Somehow I’ve become one of those dudes I make fun of.  I don’t know what romantic love is, because like so many other important aspects you can’t define it.  But I know I love you because that’s the only answer that makes sense in my head.  It’s the only way I can rationalize how I feel.  So fuck you, have a nice life, and don’t ever think I’m not thinking about you.  You know me better than I should of let you.  Why is that?
