Carson Daily

Remember when you were younger and super stoked to see the new "Making the Video" on MTV?  Like when Christina Aguilera made the video for 'Dirty' and she was basically naked and sweaty with a bunch of dirtbikers and Redman was rapping?  Probably one of the first chubbies I ever got while listening to music (besides when I heard "Higher" by Creed for the first time).  MTV used to be the shit. I was obsessed with music videos.  When I saw the video for "My Friends Over You" by New Found Glory, I fell in love.  Another music video that got me? "My name is" by the ever famous Slim Shady.  TRL was amazing.  Carson Daily was the biggest bad ass of afternoon TV.  He got to hangout with 98 Degrees, look out his big glorious window over time square and rub it in the face of all those gargoyle chicks who he didn't allow inside for the actual taping of his show, and had the power to cut off anyone he chose while they were halfway through a shout-out to their friends back home.  Then every summer he got to move his studio to a giant stage in the center of a pool (that was for some reason on the beach.... not sure why you needed a pool on the beach but Carson demanded it) and stay there for 8 weeks while TLC performed "Scrubs" everyday until they got knocked off the top spot. PLUS! Whenever he didn't feel like doing his super easy job, he could sub in a hot ass british chick to do it for him.  And there were always quick cutaways to "MTV News" where Sway (aka that short dude with the bad dreads and oversized beanie who talked with that poorly faked harlem accent).  Without those bits I would have never known that Kid Rock beat the shit out of someone at a Waffle House. It always annoyed me that they didn't play the entire music video tho.  They would come in at the first chorus then maybe lead us up to the bridge before they ducked out.  Didn't they understand that the "Stacy's Mom" music video wasn't worth it unless you got to see it start to finish?!

Today I was in a music video.  I can't explain the details entirely, but some good friends of mine are in a badass pop punk band called THIEVES and are making a music video.  I'm playing a cool guy.  It's gunna be great, so keep posted and I'll make you aware of my performance once the video drops.  

Just give it up.
