actor, with beard

I don't really high five that much, since 1992.

[vcleera-archived-deactivated202]

I admit, I’m the type that would push someone off. Then again, I’m kinda fiesty and all haha! Eww! Drooling is the worst! I hope so! I’m keeping my head up though. No matter how long it takes, it will be worth it. Thank you for that and I will. I can imagine you guys get stuck on that. At least you guys have fun doing it right though?

[jakesgyllen-blog]

I would believe that you’d do that! And I’m sure whoever got shoved off wouldn’t try to argue with you about it, either. Definitely, though, and since you have confirmation that you’ll get there one day, it probably feels even more than worth it now. We always have a lot of fun, no matter how tight the schedule is. A few years back when I was in End of Watch, we had only two months to do the whole film and wrap, so it was morning, noon, and night for that film, but it was incredible. I got to work with amazing people, make great friends -- I don’t think having more time would’ve done anything to better the experience.

[vcleera-archived-deactivated202]

That too! Haha! I agree. It’s always a shame when that happens. Really! Aspirin helps a lot. The only thing it doesn’t help with on me is a headache. Tylenol is best for that.

[jakesgyllen-blog]

Without fail, whenever I wind up with a nosebleed, I can’t even remember which is better; tipping my head forward or back. No matter how many times I’ve Googled it, so know the aspirin trick should be a good thing. Tylenol and Advil are the best for headaches, especially if you can’t pull off a quick nap at the time.

Well, children normally are the target for subconscious propaganda and shows, but i’d imagine they’re a lot more sneaky with how they do it rather then a really trippy show about a live action yellow bear and his friends. Maybe then i’d have a hell of a lot more people to talk conspiracies with, but least i have you for that Jake!

[jakesgyllen-blog]

That’s true, though, because if we were going to be convinced of any wacky idea or sentiment, it probably would’ve been engrained when we were young. Maybe a stuffed bear who loves honey is a stretch for any kind of subliminal brainwashing, but you never know. There are some wild, real life things that happen so I feel like no conspiracy theory could really be too out there. And as I say that, I realize there are plenty that are outrageously based. 

[bridgetreganss-deactivated20180]

Hell yeah i would. First, i’d mix them both into a bowl together, just to see what happens. But if that fails, i’ll just test what nutella tastes like on pizza. That may be what i’ll do tonight — Shhhh, we can double dip if we please! And it turns out the nutella festival is a thing, they’re just apparently sneaky about letting it be known.

[jakesgyllen-blog]

This sounds so bad. I’m sorry, but remind me to never be around when you’re enjoying nutella, because I don’t even want to witness these crimes. Maybe nutella knows that people enjoy their product in strange ways, so they don’t want to advertise it too much. I would still be pretty interested in a fondue festival, though.

Honestly, i have no idea. Sure, i’ve scratches and what not, but he’s a cat, it’s to be expected when they’re not up to being rubbed or your feet happen to dangle outside your blanket at night. I give him food, i think that’s a growing mutual love enough. He tends to weave in and out of my legs when i get home, which i’ve just determined his version of saying hello and wanting his back rubbed.— Right?! imagine how useful it could be.

[jakesgyllen-blog]

With most pets, I think little injuries like that are to be expected. I’ve gotten countless scratches from my dogs when they jump up at me when I visit and stuff like that. It’s always harmless, but somehow, cats are vilified much more often. If we had translators for pets, we couldn’t have to wonder what their leg weaves or ear twitches meant anymore. They could just tell us. I say it’s worth a whole lot of funding.

[msarahpaulsons]

I am, and i will! It’s faith is completely yours to make happen again, cause i believe in you, Jake! If i didn’t, i’d be putting this responsibility onto someone else. So here’s the plan….the next time you’re at an event, or tv talk show, you put those moon shoes on, and bounce your way out there.

[jakesgyllen-blog]

You’re putting a whole ‘lotta faith in me here when I think that really, you should be putting it on yourself. I can see you now, Sarah! Bouncing down the street in your big moon shoes. I feel like you could make the trend way more appealing than I ever could.

[mhargs]

I feel as though the advertising was completely counterproductive, but I feel like that’s what they were aiming for. Make the headache worse, so you just apply directly to your head. It was bought out at one point, and they made changes to the original formula. I think it went downhill from there. One day you’ll make it happen and everything will change in an instance!

[jakesgyllen-blog]

That had to have been their plan. And now HeadOn will forever be known for having the most annoying advertising campaign. Is that really what happened? I decided to try to find it on Amazon to see if it still existed and while what’s left is insanely productive, I did see a lot of reviews recommending other roll-on headache products with the same ingredients. I had no idea that it was such a big market -- or good idea.

[brokenspy]

You know nothing, Jake. You. Know. Nothing.

[jakesgyllen-blog]

Should I take this as a threat?

[brokenspy]

Wait, what?! People think that? I don’t know if I’m more confused by that fact in itself, or by the fact Murder She Wrote has fans who care enough to write theories. 

[jakesgyllen-blog]

They do! I mean, it’s a little suspicious to have a murder occur in just about every town you happen to be in. 

[missmultifarious]

Very true also, there’s a line between brave and reckless that they may be inclined to cross easier than most! Really? Where would you live if you weren’t living here. I kind of love it - aside from the paps and that sort of thing, but L.A. itself I love, though I’d move back to New York if given the chance too. We only ever suggest to my folks because they complain they don’t see us enough and both my sister and I are here - we even tried to convince them to just get a second place here but they had no interest. I doubt they’ll ever give up the ranch, which is very them but they somehow ended up with two daughters who are never satisfied sitting still for very long. My mom made us go through all of our toys, and then clothes and whatever when we were older, once a year and donate what we could and toss the rest, so we never built up much of an accumulation of stuff. 

[jakesgyllen-blog]

Actually, I was living in New York before this, too. I’d been in the city for almost five years at that point, I think, because I moved to be closer to my sister and mom after she moved over to that coast, too. New York is seriously amazing, though, so I can see why you’d like to be there, too. There’s less paparazzi, but still a fair amount here and there, so I’m thankful for the privacy around the condos. Well, if you’ve got a good thing going where you are, then why move, right? I think if I lived somewhere for that long and raised a family and everything, I might be a little stubborn about leaving, too. That’s a really smart way to do that. Now and then we donated old things, but we never wound up in that sort of rhythm, but it seems like a smart way to cut down and clutter or potential hoarding.

[gcsoliine-deactivated20200329]

Exactly, and if you can figure it out without having to take aspirin for it, then even better. I think you’ve got a pretty good excuse for doing that, though don’t think you’ll be able to use it forever. There’s only so long you can blame it on the baby.

[jakesgyllen-blog]

That’s a good point! I might as well start memorizing this headache chart now and working up quick cures so I won’t have to blame my headaches on anything. Or else, before long, I might have to start saying I’m getting them because of too much sleep.

[missmultifarious]

The worst days are usually the ones where I’ve tried to go sans caffeine while trying to work. I probably just shouldn’t do it because I probably make everyone around me miserable too. I think about cutting back sometimes too, especially when a headache hits, but it’s definitely a crutch for me that I don’t think I’m ready to give up just yet. I feel like I’m lacking that stop function - my brain tells me I’m probably not dying but then it hangs on to it and considers all the possible what-ifs. That is actually a brilliant idea - you should suggest that to them! They have the other pop-ups on sites if you search words associated with mental health or what not, seems like something Google could manage - and I know it would help my mental health and I like to think I’m not alone in that!! Sell the idea to them, become a billionaire and the buy us all a year round petting zoo for the condos!! 

[jakesgyllen-blog]

Never make the switch to decaf or go cold turkey when you’ve got a busy day ahead of you. I’ve tried to detox from caffeine a few times in my life and I realized pretty fast that you should only try that when you have a free weekend -- or maybe even a week for the really serious coffee drinkers. Do they really have those pop-ups? I feel like Google should really already be on the way to implementing something similar then. Especially since, like you said, once your brain latches onto one idea, it can be hard to shake. I know some people look up an illness or disease and suddenly start feeling all of the symptoms and work themselves into a frenzy over it.

[prettygirlbushh-blog]

It made me feel like it was possible and then made me feel like crap because I couldn’t. Between shows like that and Masterchef Junior I feel like a failure.

[jakesgyllen-blog]

Oh jeeze, don’t even talk about Masterchef Junior. I don’t think I was a master at anything when I was as young as those kids. I was just bumbling around trying to be funny. Any amazing skill that you add children into? It’s hard to even think about attempting it as a hobby anymore.

[pagsbrewster]

I’ve done group date vacations around the holidays and those worked out well, actually. But I’m not sure that is really a ‘date’ so much as a 'getaway’. When you’re with a group of people for the weekend it’s easier to break away for breathing room. So Alison wears the pants in your relationship then?

[jakesgyllen-blog]

A getaway would be the perfect way to describe that and I think going off for a weekend with friends and significant others is certainly a lot easier than trying to bowl or something with another couple. Maturity also probably helps. Well, preferably neither of wear pants, but she’s damn good at making first moves.

[wtfyvonne-deactivated20200410]

Do you ever notice that everything seems to happen at once? Like, sure, there are things you do all the time anyway, but then all of a sudden one thing happens…and then another…and then another. Life just likes to pile everything on in one go. And by this I mean, hey guys, I’ve been busy. Got a year older, worked on everything you can possibly think of. When can we have cake?

[jakesgyllen-blog]

But when are you not busy? I think the only time I ever hear of you not actually working is when everyone in the condos goes on trips together and even then, I have my suspicions that you’re still figuring out some way to work. But, hey, happy belated birthday! Enjoying your new year of life?

[chriswoodhq-deactivated20160429]

Last night, I attended a viewing party for my first actual leading role and I had a blast doing so. Too bad i woke up feeling shitty this morning though. I’m just giving a heads up that I won’t be doing shit tomorrow but staying in my condo and messing around a bit. Might even play the xbox some…but for now, I’m enjoying a few beers before crashing.

[jakesgyllen-blog]

Congratulations on the role! How did it feel seeing yourself on the screen as the lead? Hopefully better than you feel physically, at least. Rest and relaxation is the best fix for most crappy, lethargy.

[rebecccamader-blog]

Hopefully the only santas you bring your kid if the ones with an actual real beard that would hurt if a kid pulled on it. There’s a lot more of those now, so maybe parents don’t need to worry so much — That’s the dream, Jake. I need to be the first to pull them out and get on the scene and rock the neon. I’m not leaving the puffy jacket out though, but i’m also gonna go for the light up shoes too.

[jakesgyllen-blog]

Maybe I’ll survey the mall Santas beforehand and make sure we get the exact right one if we ever decide to do Christmas photos for Amelia. I also wouldn’t be against completely avoiding that scary situation for her -- there’s an awful lot of upset childhood stories, with or without the fake beard. I say go for it. Just start now, too. Throw on the puffy jacket and start going so when the trend picks up, you get credit.
