My Joe Simpson

I really wanted to call this blog Sally Kolks M.D. The M.D. would stand for media dominated but blogger wouldn't let me. So for now this is the title. Please don't confuse it with the title of my autiobiography, "Life is Too Short to Wear Tight Pants." I won't publish it until I sell the film rights. Okay, enough fooling around its time to get to business. Writing a blog has been an idea of mine for awhile and it wasn't until my Fox gig ended that I finally got the push I needed.  The beauty of this is that I can say whatever I want and don't have to keep it to a 2 minute segment. I can also talk not just about my first love movies, but I can also talk about all things MEDIA!!! Like Taylor Swift dating an 18 year old, like my love for Slyvester Stallone that I have kept hidden for 42 years and my obsession with cheesy Maroon 5 videos and my personal favorite question of all time-- Where were you when Susan Lucci won the daytime emmy. So I am going to make a concerted effort to update this blog with all of my media musings. You were warned.

Since this is my inagural post, it only seemed natural that I call it after my biggest fan in life, my father George. He was the one who called me one crazy morning in 2006 and encouraged me to go for Movie Mom. It was later changed to Mom at the Movies to avoid a lawsuit. He helped me make an audition tape and was probably happier than me when I called to tell him that I had got the gig. For the first year, he would accompany me to every appearance and in all honesty he had tears in his eyes for about 90% of them. He dvr'd every segment and called me on my way home from downtown. He loved that he helped one of his children achieve their dreams and he knew mine was to talk about movies and media . I jokingly called him my "Joe Simpson" because he liked to manage my so called "career." He's still doing it now, he just has a better seat.
