Leap of Faith
Thursday, February 18th, 2010I’ve started a video blog. I haven’t ‘advertised’ it cuz it’s tough, you know.
I’m going to get real here for a minute.
Since my death, I’ve gotten VERY self-conscious of the way I look. I only THOUGHT I had self-image problems before The Change.
Doing the video blog is a huge leap of faith—like Indy stepping off the cliff in The Last Crusade, or Sawyer agreeing to one of Jack’s plans.
But being a positive Changed role model is important, so it’s important to step in front of the camera. And hey, we’re ALL role models, despite what Mr. Charles Barkley says (“That’s just tewwible, Kari, tewwible.”)
So ALL of us need to get ready for our closeup.

We’re taking over the world!
WE GOT OURSELVES A READER!
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010“Do you still read?”
Maybe the most insulting question I’ve been asked recently. Yep, buddy, I can still read. Not only that, I ENJOY reading. Now get out of my face!
It all came up because of our Political Rally at Book People in Austin Texas. We had a crazy good turnout. Nicholas made a brief speech, then the writer of The Changed read a chapter and signed some books.
As you can see from the pictures, it was a good turnout of Changed and Non-Changed people.
So and but, before the rally, I’m cruising through the books, checking some out, and there I am, Amy Tan in my hand, and: “Do you still read?”
We read, breathe, and live, butthead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But the great turnout for the rally brought up my spirits. We’re reaching so many people—but there is still work to do! Tell everyone about our website and tell everyone to buy our book THE CHANGED.
That’s my two cents.
Keep the change.

Meet Liz. She still reads too!

So many good people supporting the movement!
Pieces. Period.
Thursday, January 14th, 2010Hollywood needs to wake up and smell the Starbucks.
How much longer can they continue making period pieces? As Nicholas Buckman is fond of saying, “I am reality.”
We are reality.
Face up to it. Own it. Put it in your pocket and walk around with it.
Movies completely ignore the fact that The Change has happened (with people getting shot or what not and actually dying) or they are set in a time before The Change took place. What up with that? Ooooh-weeee—what up with that, what up with that? J
Producers, you like memos? How ‘bout this memo:
WE ARE REALITY. STOP MAKING MOVIES AS IF THE CHANGE DIDN’T HAPPEN.
That’s my two cents.
Keep the change.
How ‘Bout Them Cowboys!
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010Every Changed that I know is pulling for The Cowboys, and not just because they are America’s team.
It’s because they are one of the few public businesses that have not fired their changed team members.
Their special teams coach has changed and Jerry Jones doesn’t care. In Peter King’s Monday Morning Quarterback, King asks Jones about the issue point blank. Jerry Jones responds: “We don’t discriminate between the breathing and the non-breathing. We just hire the best.”
This kind of winning attitude (in LIFE and in football) is what we all need.
Go Cowboys!
