Fans wanna know........
How I have been doing and what I'm up to. Well life is great:) I've been going after some more dreams of mine, like pursuing an art career. Every day I paint and working hard on my new gallery. I get alot of messages from people getting a little upset because i haven't responded to them........pleasssssseeeeeeee dont take it personally and get upset!! I get alot of messages and it is very hard to make everyone happy and to keep up with everyone! I don't copy and paste at all! So when you hear from me, its me actually thinking and typing you a message. I really love all my fans and want to make everyone happy. I've also been making fans personal paintings of their kids and family. Which is alot of fun for me because I love to share my art and make people happy. I just want everyone to know that I am trying my hardest to respond to you all and I love all of you so much. Life is pretty demanding after being on BB:) Everyone and their mother and father wants to meet me, go here, go there! Unfortunately Im not able to go any where. Matty wants me to visit, Baller wants me to visit, ryan wants me to visit, Parker wants me to come to wrap party, family wants me to go to california...Man oHHH man i could really use a twin right now. I wish I could go to the BB10 wrap party but Im not going to be able to go:( Its time for me to focus on what I want to do for the rest of my life and focus on being successful and fullfilling more of my dreams. So thats what Ive been up to just painting, opened gallery in salem oregon and finally got y online store up and running. So if any one would like something from me just go to artbynatalie.com and I have paintings, autographed photos, stuff I wore on Big Brother, beaded jewelry, posters and alot more still to come. So check back with the online store daily as I will be adding items daily. I am no longer going to be selling on ebay, at least for now. So check out my site instead. I had to do something for all my out of state fans. Thank you so much for continuing to love, care about me and what I'm up to:) I love you all so much!!!
Love, Natty

Crazy James Is Living In Paris 2
Well where do I begin. I had my interview with the Bicycle Tour Guide people. They were really nice and amazing guys. I actually had a chance to hangout with everyone before my interview. In was nice to meet people that spoke english and were really rad. It is to bad that they are going through a slow time and can't find a position for me. I was really bummed about not getting the job, and thought I was sorta screwed, well I sorta am screwed still. I mean I was able to get a gig being an international correspondent for a major magazine back home, but I don't even have place to live. I mean the place I thought I was going to move into was really just looking for me to crash on a couch which would have been ideal but for one person. I am traveling with two so it just didn't work out. I am now staying at my friends house while he is out of town for a couple of days. He is a graffiti artist from New Orleans. He moved over here after Katrina.
I can't even begin to tell you how cold it is. It almost reminds me of New York this time last year. I kinda just want to stay inside and bundle up. I am meeting with a photographer today to shoot some photos for his exhibition and than I am going to ride my bicycle around town. I am also going to bring my video camera and attache it to my bicycle and ride through paris on my bike. I should have some kind of video of paris up soon. I am also working on multiple articles for this "unknown" magazine. I kinda don't want to mention the name until it starts rolling. I am pretty stoked about it. I also finally found my punk rock dive bar. It's called Poltiburro or Political Bull. It is based off a communist bunker and its tiny and pretty fucking rad. Thomas the owner ended up drinking with me and faith til 6am. Also the drinking culture and nightlife is completely different than in Los Angeles. It is alittle bit more calmer than I would have expected, Also the cold weather isn't something you can really rage in.
I also must ay that traveling with someone is new and alittle bit different. Tensions and stress sometimes leave you wondering if this is the right move. I think it has to do with the knowingness of nothing. Where will we live? What will we do for work? I am sure these things will figure these things but ti takes time. With certain things not working in our favor it sometimes makes me wonder if I will stay in Paris for awhile. I know I will be here till NewYears but after that who knows. I just need to make it work. It takes time and nothing is overnight.
Its a feeling I have felt before but something will happen. I am just out of my normal bubble of safety. Things will be different once I start getting these articles pumped out.
I also need to get word from the bong company. I might be doing the HIGHTIMES convention in Amsterdam.
Life is Life.
The less you think the more you know....

Back to work and the Real World
From Steven's Blog:
So I thought I would share some about being taken out of the "Real World" (no not the show on MTV the actual real world) put into fantasy land and then being thrown back. Before entering the entire crazy Big Brother world I was an average guy that worked an average job and had an average life. Then all of a sudden I was plucked from all of it and when I say all of a sudden I mean it. One day I was hanging out with my friends the next day a guy shows up with cameras and says you are leaving for California today so get packed. I went through this crazy 9 day sequester then thrown into the crazy big brother house, secluded from the world, evicted and then put on a plane and sent home. I return to all this crazieness, people who I have never met that wanna talk to me, take my picture and talk about my life. My first experiences when I got home was this fabulous amount of attention that feels so good and raises your spirits to a level that seems unimaginable. The feeling is so good it is hard to describe, fans that are so incredibly kind and treated me like I hung the moon. I just have to say thank you to everyone, I will never be able to show my gratitude or express how good it made me feel. However, now that I am back at work and just an average guy again it is a little hard to look back. I would never complain about my experience but I really don't know how I will ever be able reach a high like that again. It is a bitter sweet situation which I will always cherish and miss. Not sure where I am going with this blog other then to say thanks for memories, the experiences, the new friendships and the good times. Everyone in the house I made friends with I want to say YOU ROCK and I am thankful I got the opportunity to meet you (you know who you are.) To all the people I have met or chatted with along the way I want to say it has been a pleasure and YOU ROCK (again, you know who you are.)
Suck it Bitches....

Behind The Lens with Kail & Natalie
From TheRealDeal:
Wow, what a trip. What a shoot. What a nice little vacation.
So after season 8 ended, I was in contact with Kail because she was interested in doing some photos. I was planning a trip up to Washington at that time to see my pathetic Rams play the Seahawks in Sept, and so I told her I'd be in her area. So she suggested we make a stop over at Rainbow, and so we did.
My girlfriend and I ended up making it an Oregon trip instead.
Also, while waiting for Sept to come around, Season 9 was going on and I just fell in love with Natalie. She was one of my favs from her season. I just loved her positive attitude and spirit. Maria loved her too. We rooted for her. I know, I know, she did some naughty things in the house, but her personality rose above all that for me and we just saw passed all that. And I loved her competitiveness. I LOVED her studying everything. Just like our Jedi Janey! :) :)
Lots more here

Crazy James Is Living In Paris
Crazy James Blog Post
So it is day three in Paris and my bicycle is built. No word yet from the artist collective that I had gotten excepted into yet. To be honest I am kinda worried we are not going to find a place to live. Shits alot easier with one person. I mean yesterday when I was looking for the bike shop I left Faith alone for 10 minutes and already I was approached by a group of older guys to go drink. I love faith and traveling alone is exactly that lonely. But at the same time it makes you wonder how much harder or how much easier a situation could be.
On another note Faith is getting sick. I think it is because we are going through a detox of sorts. I haven't drank anything besides water since arriving in France. I have been to busy glaring up at the old buildings and listening in amusement to people talk. I love that they look down upon Americans, fuck I would to. I laugh at their jokes they make about my hair and about my culture. I am the same way, you just have to roll with it. I will learn french soon enough and then these kids are gonna get some.
I am currently staying in a run down hotel in the 2nd Arrisondment. It is in a mian muslim part of the town so I completely do not fit in. Great, not only am I white, but I am American, and I have tattoos. I might as well carry a sign that says I am the devil. Oh well it sure is funny seeing the stink face from these people.
More to come.
