Publication Day

Today is the day of the Publicist. The day where members of this elite group get to kick back and bask in their own glory. I had dreams about this day, and what I would say on this day. At first I was going to use all kinds of bold analogies. One's that made claim that we are the rock, the shoulder and the backbone. That we do not for glory, but for the hope of a smile from a young star. I was going to use pictures like these:



To give example of how there have been representation of Publicists in film.

But as this day progressed and I thought more about it I became a tad more humble. Maybe it had to do with the fact that I was able to spend the whole day with my star and his Agent and I began to realize that it's not about the world being lucky that there are Publicist, but that the Publicist are the lucky ones. That we get to share in the glory. That we get to participate is worth any kind of hardship or stress that we may battle throughout our day in and day out routine. Everything is worth it when a star smiles and when a star laughs it makes this Publicist stronger. No matter how tired we get, no matter how hard the day seems I can now speak from experience when I say it's worth it.

"You will travel far. But we will never leave you... the richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel... all this, and more... I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your own eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father the son. This is all I can send you. - Jor-el

If your a Publicist, I hope you enjoyed your day, I know I did mine.

Proving once and for all that it is impossible to stop time. Even if you really want to.

Regarding Henry - Q and A - Fan appreciation

Henry here,
Since the inception of my site I have been flooded with fan mail. I thought it only fitting that I take a moment to respond and answer any questions you might have. So let's jump right in, I'm a busy guy and don't have a lot of time to waste on this.

Question:I am loving the pictures! For the first time, Henry looks like he is really growing.

Henry: Thank you, I feel a little wiser everyday. Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of work. I try to eat right, exercise and keep a positive attitude as much as possible. To be honest, I've never felt stronger.

Question: Dear Henry, You get cuter every day and you must think your parents are pretty dumb (lucky that you are as smart as you are) to be breaking your plastic bottles. Just tell them you think you would be safer with me and hop on a plane and come on out to Castle Rock!

Henry: Finally, someone who's on the same page. Let me tell you, I am so outta here. The staff has the competence level of a fish on a bicycle. As soon as I can find the corporate credit card I'll track you down. Those plastic bottles had value. My Publicist thinks it's funny but I had a reason for having them around. It's coming out of his paycheck, that's forsure. May sound cruel but it's how I roll. Thanks for the cute comment, you sound cute too. Shoot me digits, out.

Question: I must say, these updates put the biggest smile on my face.

Henry: What can I say, I'm just that good. I think it's my ability to remain humble that keeps everything so fresh.

Question: How can I get on that blog?

Henry: I direct all questions along this line of discussion to my staff. Feel free to contact them directly.

Question: Henry, keep up the good work! Sounds like you have a great agent!

Henry: She is a keeper. I'm too hard on her. I think I'll give her a raise. Thanks for the reminder that this is a team effort.

Question: I hope you are doing well – it sure sounds like you are thriving. It is amazing the energy that children breed and drain in us all at the same time!

Henry: Thanks, I feel like thriving is an valid adjective. Unfortunately I don't have any children so I have no idea what your talking about. Talk to me in thirty years.

Question: Sure loved the mouth-open smile pictures of Henry! Tell Jean, "belated Happy Mother's Day" Glad you and Henry made a big deal out of it!

Henry: Done and Done.

Question: Please note I will be conducting summer staff training from May 17-19.
I will be checking e-mail seldomly during this time. Thank you for your patience at this time.

Henry: What? Who's screening these things?

Question: Thanks for keeping us posted on star Henry's progress! Three event and growth filled months already, wow! Congratulations to all three of you.

Henry: Yeah, feels like a life time. I could tell you some stories about back in the day.

Question: Henry, cannot say it often enough.......you are a really handsome
dude!!

Henry: Did you fall asleep in the middle there? You might want to have that looked at.

Question: dude... you up too?

Henry: To be up or down is to accept a mental state that I do not believe exsists in reality. There are only situations requiring decisions and action, never problems.

Question: I'm surprised you guys didn't name Henry Skywalker.

Henry: Wasn't my call. But there is a direct a link to my name and a fictional character that I feel is a touch cooler. Some know, it's not hard to figure out. (hint: it's the man in the hat)


Question: Your boy Henry is getting around. There's a multitude of pics of him being loved by random women on his blogspot. He's the Sean Connery of babies.

Henry: Great question. Yes, I would say that your observation is right on the money. My attitude has always been "you can't win if you don't play" and let me tell you, I play to win. Is it bragging if you can back it up? Not in my eyes. Sean Connery? I'll take that, just remember I'm about 122 years younger than Sir Connery so I see that as an advantage. I could take him.

Stars in their own right

Today is a big day. A day for celebration and rejoice. Henry has been kind enough to give up the spot light for a brief moment for old friends of the Publicist. Grace and Danny, trail blazers and old friends are celebrating the second birthday of their twin boys. Henry called a meeting and made a passionate speach about this fan site honoring these two fine gentlemen. Honestly we were all stunned, and then Henry through a bottle and screamed we should return to work. How can one guy be so cool and such a jerk at the same time? Alas, I signed a life long contract with this company so I shouldn't complain, I mean it is job security and all and in this day and age that says a lot. Hold on, Henry is saying something to me.

I have just been instrusted to stop talking so much and focus.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, two twin toddlers turning two.
Oh man that was a sweet play on words. Admit it, it was awesome.
Congradulations Grace and Danny.

And It's always good to get the Publicist in there when you can.

What are you kiddin me? We got ourselves a family here!

And with that Henry has a new best friend.

Henry pulled Mike into the mix.

Sunda and Henry started off kicking back discussing world events and suddenly BAM! a party breaks out.

The Return of Mike and Sunda

Allow me to introduce Mike, the internationally renowned Director that Henry is courting trying to get a three picture deal and Sunda, the Director of Photography of such modern day classics as "Be Kind To Your Achilles" and "Florida's kind of Humid" I'm just gonna let this one sit for a day, let it soak in, ferment if you will. Wait, that's probably not a very apt descriptive word. Anyway, relax and enjoy the calm before the storm because Mike and Sunda's visit was a world wind tour and tomorrow you are going to get slammed with pictures. In the words of the Publicist's Publicist, "If you were to get everything today, you would have nothing to look forward to tomorrow."

Safety never takes a holiday

So next time some one asks you if hot water can cut through plastic like a laser, feel free to say the answer is yes. Apparently, these bottles do not do so well in the dish washer. Who knew? (don't e-mail me telling me that I should have known better, if I had known better I wouldn't have done it and yes, this is funny)
