i am the eve plumb of du: the sad story of sundog (warning: sad)

Rated PG 13 For Mild Language, Adult Situations, and Sadness


So, I've been thinking a lot today...

The execs called this morning and said the "Squid Week!" pilot won't be going to series next year... so it looks like I have some time on my hands now...

But where does one go from here?

I always feared I might be typecast after the raging success of "Shark Week!"... and I knew they were going to pressure me into a spinoff... I KNEW it...

"Let's do something different," I said, "Let me play Macbeth... I want to be Macbeth!"

But they insisted on "Squid Week!"... and I agreed... sign the dotted line...

And the deal smelled bad from the get-go.

Now, here stand I, sundog... a child prodigy with nowhere to go.

Here I walk these streets.

What shall it be?

As I wander aimlessly in this dizzy haze... and the people in the shopping malls point and say, "Hey! There's that guy from 'Shark Week'," and hurry back to their warm homes and tell their children they saw the guy from "Shark Week!" today at the mall and ask them to pass the potatoes and gather by the fireplace and carry on with their merry lives...

Relegated to the occasional sitcom guest spot...

or worse yet playing myself in a spoof film version of my own show ...

maybe some daytime TV work...

Or worse of all back to auditions once again... and I, sundog, like a young schoolboy awaiting tickets to his first Peter Cetera concert... only to find out it sold out... "we'll call you"

Tossed like a minnow in the cruel riptide of fate...

it's not very nice what they do

[miss_kitty]

34. That's sad

[tjwmason]

35. Can't your agent get you some commercials for British television

That's what fading American stars usually do after all. :shrug:

[sundog]

36. for what product?

[tjwmason]

37. Shaving cream

Or maybe a male depilatory - I know how much time you spend ridding yourself of body-hair.

[sundog]

38. no, nothing that will eliminate my manly chest hair... maybe booze ads

[tjwmason]

42. British booze ads all carry a warning though

Albeit in pretty small letters at the bottom of the screen it reads

"please enjoy alcohol responsibly"

The juxtaposition of you and that message would be too much I fear.

How about debt refinance companies - we're getting more and more of those ads?

[LynneSin]

39. Fade into Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day


I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a-

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone

Ah..ah..

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a-

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone

Ah..ah..
I walk alone and I walk a-

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a-

My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone

[sundog]

40. i never expected you to be such a pal in this dark hour

[LynneSin]

41. It just seemed appropriate at the time

:pals:
