I got duped today. I (30M) still stay with my mom. I've been trying to fix that, but I had a lot of mental health things happen. I was home alone and had the garage up as I was getting ready to leave. Two guys walked up to me, I thought they were just being friendly. Long story short, they came to talk to me about their pest control. I thought it was just an informative meeting, but as it went on, he was trying to get me to buy their plan. I nervously told the one speaking that I don't think it's right for me. He told me how he needed 20 people to agree & he had 18. I still told him that I'm not interested, then he went at it again talking about a cheaper plan that Inwas not interested in. I thought that I would not have been able to say "no," so I gave in. I wanted to cancel whenever they left, but they made sure to take my card info and have me sign something. This is my mom's house, and we don't even need this done yet. I wasn't strong enough to speak up and tell them "no." I can't keep living like this because I get taken advantage of. I feel the worst I have felt in some time, because I couldn't stand up for myself. Is it even possible for me to get better at dealing with people? It doesn't seem like it.

When it comes to predicting, people seem to think that The Academy won't reward actors who just won an Oscar. I think that matters less and less. Some were hesitant in picking Sean Penn to win a third, and he easily won. I know it had been 17 years, but people were like, "He has two already." Renee Zellweger is another example. They don't mind giving you another after winning on your previous nomination. Look at Hilary Swank! Does anyone feel that we overthink this?

I have issues with it, because there are so many actors to choose from so why rob someone else of a nomination just to put a person in twice? If they desire another nomination, then run in supporting. I did not read a limit either. I read "multiple," so if someone puts up three good lead performances they can take up three spots, really? Brian Rowe (The Awards Contender) tweeted that Sandra Huller can be nominated four times (two per female acting category), why do we need that? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. This could cost them an Oscar too if people can't decide which performance to reward. I know that directors can be nominated twice, but there are less directors than actors and they work far less frequently than actors of this caliber.

It wasn't picked up, but he was cast in a CBS pilot called Super Clyde. This happened when season 6 was getting ready to end, so spring of 2015. He would have been the lead of the show, so it was a huge opportunity for him. I remember first hearing this news and having trepidation over the possibility that we would have little if any Axl on the show going forward. Who knows what would have happened if he left? Axl and his antics were great for the show. Do you all remember this? Would The Middle have lasted nine seasons without him?
