The Actors Obsession

All actors/actresses are obsessed with hiding who they really are.
That is what acting is. Steven Thompson has figured out a way to maintain their privacy yet capture glimpses of the true person.

it's called:       bookstevebijou.blogspot.com
created by:     Mr Steven Thompson


I'll try to describe his site. it's not just any old blog. Every time I click on a different post, he brings in a different medium. The window below shows Newspaper clipings. Not just any old clipings. Someone (I guess it's him) spent a lifetime carefully cutting out rare news articles about all the tv stars I've ever heard of. These are real articles. The stories within these articles are breath-taking. These are the real lives of are favorite stars.

Their real lives are always more thrilling than the movies they play in. This always was. The characters that all actors play, pale in comparison to the actor himself.
And the greatest mystery of all, can we ever really know the actor - or is it yet another performance.

      Well, bookstevebijou.blogspot.com is probably as close as we'll ever get.
      Mr Steven Thompson has spent un-told hours trying to peel back
      the curtain BEFORE the actor has finished putting on The persona.
      Leaving him half masked, half exposed.




The downside of having the GYB-monster as my best friend is that, He sort of does whatever he wants.

He's not totally uncontrollable, but he has his moments.
I can't get him to turn the television off, He likes to watch the Brady Bunch. Hey, perhaps if I right a blog about tv shows from the 70's he will get distracted and i can turn it off. Let's give that a try.

Well when I think of tv shows from the 70's, one that is high on the list is The Brady Bunch. Even GYB-M likes this one.
So I found a blog that is truly devoted to the Brady family.

      that blog is: veryBradyblog.blogspot.com

This site is sooo wonderful. full of pics and videos from his personal collection. no kidding he owns footage that is available no where else. 
How did he do That ??
He's not telling and I don't blame him. I'm just glad he is sharing it with me and GYB-M. 
Actually GYB-M prefers to be called a creature, instead of a monster.   Sorry GYB-C.     Anyway, back to The Brady Bunch.

Timeless Literature

Like all the other monsters out there, the GimmeYourBlog monster is not very well cultured.
But we BOTH love SparkNotes.com (created by SparkNotes LLC) - great site. Even the GYBM
occasionally enjoys fine literature. Here's a sample. This sample refers to the the classic
Lord of the Flies - I really love this one. Not only do they provide a chapter by chapter review,
but also chapter analysis by their professional editors AND user/member comments - WOW
This is Great. As we all know, Lord of the Flies is about a group of boarding school kids
who get stranded on an island. The society they attempt to create deteriorates into
savagery and ritual sacrifice. If that perks your interest - head on over to SparkNotes.com
to get the full commentary that this classic deserves. Be sure to checkout their MindHut - its fantastic !!
