As of typing this, Nick Jr is airing that male Dora counterpart, Diego, and I guess it was that commercial for that uber-weird Yogabbagabba that the idea dawned on me.
But see, ideas are not just ideas. You see, many artists --- writers, filmmakers, musicians, etc. --- are constantly asked, "Where do you get our ideas? What's your inspiration?". Jessica Zafra, whom I read A LOT back in college (which seems like a galaxy far away), addressed this question and wrote that her main intention was world domination, with a nyahahahahaha following the statement in Jessica Zafra fashion.
So basically, where'd you get The Idea?
The idea is --- blog about the PROCESS that needs to be undertaken in order to end up marrying Jason Segel. Why on earth did I think of that? What drove me to even think that I should blog about the steps I need to take so that I'll end up becoming Mrs Jason Jordan Segel? Oh, yeah, and just so to be clear (and I am addressing the universe here), I am referring to the actor, musician, writer, etc. Jason Segel of How I Met Your Mother, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and I Love You, Man. So no Jason Segel of any other sort, yeah?
See, ideas are strange. Let's take a few steps back, the minutes leading to this particular point of revelation which could change my life.
I am currently in between projects, and as I have slacked off the last few days, I am now in a frantic mode. So I have been looking for projects, marketing myself, trying to write an article which can lead me to a better writing job, etc. My 2 year-old nephew, in order to have him settle and stop running around looking for his Benten collectibles, had to be restrained hence he was sent to the couch with a bottle of milk, his security blanket, and the Power to the Remote Control. Prior to that I was watching Australia's Next Top Model, but for some strange reason, Star World disappeared and was replaced by that lovely Korean channel, Arirang. I surfed channels for a bit and nothing really took my interest, not even CNN (which was focusing on the American Politics Situation). And so I kinda "bribed" my nephew to keep quiet and told him, "Fine, let's watch Nick Jr" at which point he kicked me out of the couch and reminded me that I have work to do by finding work (the latter was actually me reminding myself).
And as I was writing emails, checking out my website, looking for project listings, The Backyardigans started playing on the tube and I thought, "These characters are so weird". And then I corrected my thought as I realized it was Yogabbagabba that was weirder. And for some reason, I was reminded of Michael Vartan.
See, thoughts can be so strange.
I am going to discuss Michael Vartan in my next entries, but the thing is, it was after the nanosecond image of Michael Vartan in my head that I remembered, I WANT TO MARRY JASON SEGEL.
So. The Questions.
1) Do I really want to marry Jason Segel?
Let's say I am in this stage of absorbing things, and using these things I really absorbed has become a means for me to express myself. What I am saying is, if I can't think of an answer, I have the tendency to quote things which is either brilliant or a display of (faux) smarts.
I am not going to share now the history of my infatuation with Jason Segel (which is VERY recent, but my "awareness" kinda dates back, say, early this year), but to answer the question, I am quoting this line from one of my favorite movies of all time, Cameron Crowe's Singles.
"If I had a conversation with God, I'd ask him to create this guy (girl)".
That line actually flashed in my head whilst watching Jason Segel doing the crazy, Rushed ax-man in I Love You, Man on HBO, for the nth time, last week. You know HBO. It's not just TV.
Let's be realistic. I don't know if I really want to marry Jason Segel, I just think he's brilliant. But of course, as I think he's brilliant, I would like to get to know him and that's the ONLY way I'll know if I really want to marry him.
2) If you're not sure you really want to marry Jason Segel, why write about the ways HOW to marry him?
Ooh, I am probably going to give the corniest answer: inspiration.
Let me put it this way, as I get going with this thing, I am probably going to pull some miracles out of my ass. So this is not just a blog about me "being inspired" by Jason Segel. I am going to establish goals.
If I am not going to marry him, I would at least like a true date. Not just dinner; a real date, something to the effect of, "Hey, let me show you the secret room in my secret room of puppets while some string quartet play Pachelbel in the hallway".
And by the way, as I live in Manila, and it can be a nightmarish situation to get a U.S. visa, this is going to be quite a task.
3) Are you a stalker? Or just completely insane?
I have never stalked anyone, and I have no intention of becoming one EVER. Well, okay WE ALL have had stalker moments, but like most people, it's pretty juvenile. And I find the least insanity in my own madness, but I am not even borderline.
Hey. I am just a normal fan. Who wants to make use of this energy into something useful.
4) Why blog about it? Can't you just keep it to yourself?
Well, how else will Jason Segel ever realize that I exist?
I know, I know. There are several fan pages out there, and some can be pretty psychotic. I am approaching this in the most logical, effective manner possible.
Besides, blogging this keeps track of my progress.
5) What if you suddenly meet someone else? And this someone else is the one you really want to marry? And then you guys fall in-love, etc.?
You mean, like in the movies?
6) Okay, so humor me. How are you going to marry Jason Segel?
Let's find out, shall we?
7) Seriously.
Seriously.
8) You're crazy.
I just realized that I talk to myself a lot in a Pete Bretter manner. And I have had weeping moments getting over ex-s, i.e. while cooking, stalking an ex's Facebook page, in Pete Bretter fashion.
Maybe I should just marry Pete Bretter.
