Jacob the jerk squirrel update



In my last post I wrote about Jacob the squirrel who was responsible for shutting down Squarespace (my website host) after I called him a jerk very quietly. I spoke to Jacob after my last post and we worked things out. He agreed to stop eating my mikans and I agreed to never call him a jerk again. It was a great bargain.

But this morning I woke up and looked out my window and there he was, mikan gobbling. I still love Jacob, but I do feel betrayed. My heart hurts and also my toe, because I bumped my foot into a door earlier (not really Jacob's fault). I want to be the kind of man who shares his mikan with all nature of rodent, but if Jacob eats them all, then I will have none for the either rodents like Sharon and Judy, and also Toby the rodent, and the other Jacob.

I hope it's just a phase. a kind of リスの反抗期。

Squarespace DDOS attack

Today I put up my new squarespace website and today squarespace went down under ddos attack. I just paid an entire fee to them for the year. I think it is a form of punishment because earlier today I was not as nice to a ground squirrel as I usually am. I don't really know what DDOS is or why it is attacking. My dentist is a DDS so at first I thought he had attacked my website...probably because I still haven't paid for my molar x-rays.

Here is the message from squarespace "Squarespace is currently working to mitigate a large DDoS attack. We are working with our upstream providers to mitigate this attack."
You are probably wondering about the squirrel I mentioned. His name is Jacob and he lives in my yard with his friend Jacob. They both eat all the mikans (tangerine) on my tree. They climb up on a little fence and leave all the peels there. Jacob is kind of a jerk. I mean, I love him, but...he is kind of a jerk. So, today I lost my temper when I saw that he had chewed on every single mikan in the tree. I got so angry that I quietly said "jerk" out loud, and Jacob heard me. I reacted poorly and there was no excuse for my behavior. I apologize to all squirrels I have offended. But, it's no reason to attack my new website.

Once Jacob's DDOS attack is done, please visit my new site at Http://www.kentanakalovesyou.com

"What kind of Asian are you?" actor Stella Choe cast in big Korean movie



In April I released "What Kind of Asian are You?" for YouTube Comedy Week. The video became my most viewed video thanks to the very funny performances by Stella Choe and Scott Beehner. Yesterday I was sent this press release about actor Stella Choe's role in a new film by a famous Korean director.

"From Viral video star to the Big Screen. Choe books role in “International Market”.

Stella Choe, star of the viral comedy video “What Kind of Asian are you?”, which reached 5 million hits in ten days, has been tapped for a role in the feature “International Market” opposite Lost’s Yunjn Kim. The film will be directed by renowned Korean director J.K. Youn (Tidal Wave).

Choe was contacted directly by a producer at JK films who had seen her viral video and had a specific role in mind for her. She will playing a Korean adoptee in America who returns to her homeland.

This wasn’t the only job that Choe booked though her viral video. She is also starring in a national Ford commercial which she was offered after a casting director took notice of her performance in “ What Kind of Asian are You?”

A professional dancer since age 16, Choe has toured the world with Paul McCartney and helped choreograph features Gangster Squad and Benjamin Buttons.

Choe is repped commercially by Sutton, Barth, and Venari. She is currently seeking theatrical representation. "



Congratulations, Stella. I am so happy that appearing in my video has made Stella into a movie star. She is so funny.



Actor Scott Beehner has also had great success. He is in a beef jerkey Slim Jim commercial that I see on TV a lot. He was also in an Applebee's restaurant commercial.


And Scott just came out with a funny viral video about auditioning for commercials, which I guess he must do a lot.
