Christmas Wishlist 2010

Last year, we decided we wanted to do something special for a family for Christmas. We heard about two boys who had lost their mother and 5-year-old sister due to a murder. The two boys, who are now living with their grandparents, would be going through their first Christmas without them. mzLive put together a benefit concert and raised over $1000 to buy gifts for them. The gifts were delivered to the surprised family at their house the next week. It was a complete success. We could not have done it without the help we received from everyone involved.

This year, we plan to do it again. This time for a family that will probably not have a Christmas due to financial issues, and a recent break-in that left them with only a couple of pieces of furniture. We ask that you come out to the Liquid Lounge in Dallas on Saturday, December 11th, for a time of music and comedy. The proceeds raised from the entry fee, will go to buy gifts for this family. If you can't make it, but would like to donate, we've set up a PayPal account. Any amount would be greatly appreciated.



We will be surprising the family at their house on Friday, December 17th. Make sure you're listening to www.mzliveonline.com to catch this LIVE. We will give out more details on the family as we move closer to the 17th. We like to try and keep this info under-wraps so we don't risk spoiling the surprise.

Thank you for your support.

Let's make miracles happen like Jerry Lewis. <- I'm pretty sure I stole that.

The Double Cheeseburger that changed everything...

A week ago, I saw this video:

The double rainbow guy. At that point, it had around 400 views. As of writing this, it now has almost 3.5 million views. So I figured I'd make fun of it with my video, Double Cheeseburger. I posted it last Monday and in a week it has over 5,000 (five thousand) views. If you haven't seen it, check it out below:

I will say, that performing this part was one of the hardest acting moments of my career. It was a very dark role and took alot out of me emotionally...

Had I known so many people would enjoy a video of me crying and trippin' out in front of a double cheeseburger, I would have done it YEARS ago. This video beat out my Save the Nova video I posted over 4 years ago!

I just wanted to thank all the people who helped make this video possible. They (us in show biz) say never work with animals, kids, or cheeseburgers, but I'm in this to break rules. I'm not in this for the money, acting is an art form. I'm here to tell a story. Double Cheeseburger is perhaps one of the greatest and deepest stories ever told. And it was told in only 3:42. I hope I can inspire and change people with this piece of art as it has changed me.

Thank you,
KEEP LOOKIN' UP!

Find the Differences | Vol #2

I can't watch a Nicolas Cage movie without waiting for him to s-st-stutter a line or talk about an invisible rabbit. Just like my previous 'differences' post about Lil' Wayne and Whoopi Goldberg, I believe Jimmy Stewart and Nicolas Cage are one and the same. I've said this for years. My calls to the 'power that be' have never been returned. Nobody wants to talk about it, but people need to know the truth.

I have even mentioned this to Nick's National Treasure co-star, Justin Bartha. Justin knew something, but couldn't say anything other than, "Yeah, I kinda see what you mean." I know there is more he wanted to say, but he has to be careful with Disney watching his every move. I just hope this can go public soon so we can hurry up and make It's A Wonderful Life 2. Yes, I would want to play Clarence.

Knight Rider Nova. The way it should of been...

A couple of years ago, NBC said they wanted to revise the classic 1980's TV show, Knight Rider. The result was a talking Mustang and horrible acting. Yes, even worse than the 1980's classic. It came as no surprise that the revised show was canceled after just one season. It was lucky to make it past 13 episodes.

I feel as if NBC should of picked a better car to be KITT instead of a pathetic Mustang. Something real. Something dangerous. Something people could believe in. That's why I created this 44 second trailer showing NBC what I KNOW would work. Check it out:

Awesome right? I can just see it now. Heck, I'd even be up to playing Michael. Seeing as how my name is Michael too. NBC, I will be waiting for your call.

Today, EVERYTHING Changes

My first post for 2010 has been carefully planned. Strategically timed. As you may or may not know, today's date happens to coincide with one of the biggest blessings hand crafted by God himself. Something I've dreamed about for years, but never thought possible. Today is the release of KFC's Double Down.

I can hear the words of the late, great Don Lafontaine now: "In a world where Ronald McDonald is harassed daily for selling Happy Meals to kids, comes a secret weapon in the fight against heathy foods." This anti-PETA sandwich stands for way more than just another awesome food idea. It stands for American freedom. It's what we fight for daily. I know very well this sandwich could be my last. But we only live once. God bless America.
