SimonB

Beat magazine a blog that popped onto the blogosphere sometime this weekened, seems to have stepped on the wrong toes. Beat which publishes articles that are meant to be taken lightly seems to have accused the right people of the wrong stuff.

Everyone was laughing at the totally ridiculous posts that started to get churned out by these pranksters on the weekend, even I laughed when they posted “Simonb in traditional medicine debacle” but when they accused Tyler Reed an upstanding fellow in the community of a very serious crime, he decided that enough was enough and literally gave beat a beating. Saul and Vincent of Beat apologized and the issue died a quiet death, or did it?

A few other bloggers have now jumped on the bandwagon and for good cause, Beat Magazine is hitting really low with some of their posts and sooner later someone will get hurt.

The question I know ask is “To beat or not to beat?” Let the reader decide.

So as mentioned before, this past week your local fring blogger got the chance of a lifetime, I went behind the scenes on the set of NBC’s Crusoe and even got to get down and dirty on set, playing a no good mutineer.

Playing an extra is no easy work and I soon learned just how long and hard extras have to work for a very small wage. However on the bright side I can report that it’s one of the best experiences that I have had in my short lifetime.

For this post I thought I would give you guys an exclusive behind the scenes sneak peak of the makeup trailer and how they take a perfectly good looking fringster and turn him into a sort of evil looking mutineer

I also attach a picture taken at the end of day another long day of filming. In the picture is your fring blogger (me) and the main actor who plays the role of Crusoe, Philip Winchester. Thanks for posing for a picture Philip, much appreciated
