Sencio Speaks!!!!
It happened people. It finally happened. After months of IM'ing and pestering, the
Immortal John Sencio finally spoke to me today. Dreams really do come true.

If you're new to this site, you must understand: I love John Sencio. Check out what happens
when you search his name here. I've been IM'ing him for quite some time now and he has never ever responded. So when I saw he was signed on today I readied myself for the typical "i write 3 lines, he signs off" interaction. However, what happened was magical. He mistook me for somebody else, and like a cougar I POUNCED. The end result? A 20 minute IM conversation and a new best friend in life.
I broke the conversation up into chapters for your enjoyment. And for my enjoyment. Here we go, the unedited conversation:
Chapter I - Mistaken Identitybuffoon 668: hey john! long time no talk
buffoon 668: how's your summer going?
buffoon 668: hey, i'm gonna be in LA next weekend. we should get together or something, i'd love to buy you a drink
JSTVTRIBE: Yo dawg is that your new Email?
buffoon 668: yeah, but i don't really check it too often. i mainly use myblogispoop@gmail.com
buffoon 668: what's new?
JSTVTRIBE: Not more poop - I'm sick of kids diapers
buffoon 668: haha. yeah?
buffoon 668: i'm gonna be in LA next weekend. staying at the 4 seasons. want to grab a drink?
JSTVTRIBE: Dude, am I having mistaken identity? I have to take my kid hiking today.
Chapter II - The Sencio Fan Clubbuffoon 668: maybe. we've actually never met, but i'm a big fan
JSTVTRIBE: You know I'm shooitng til September
buffoon 668: yeah? what are you working on?
JSTVTRIBE: Oh sh#*%t, honey call security, hide the kids I responded to my mother pretending to be a "big Fan"!
buffoon 668: haha. no, seriously. i'm legit. i never watched Home Delivery, but i'm a big fan of your mtv stuff and your cameo in "Love Stinks."
JSTVTRIBE: Now that is funny! You mean my "should have been nominated for an acadamy award performance" in Love Stinks?
buffoon 668: you were robbed! i blame french stewart
JSTVTRIBE: French Stewart is a Genius!
buffoon 668: you stole the movie from him. he couldn't recover
buffoon 668: he hasn't recovered to this day
JSTVTRIBE: See, the thing is - I felt I could never top that performance so I've returned to TV.
buffoon 668: oh, naturally. every future film performance would just be held up to that one. you set the bar too high
JSTVTRIBE: EXACTLY - Nirvana broke with Nevermind and always had to live up to that.
buffoon 668: well, i'm glad you didn't pull a kurt cobain following your "nevermind"
Chapter III - Sencio, Todaybuffoon 668: what are you working on now?
JSTVTRIBE: Belive it or not I'm wrapping up 26 episodes of a new show for (hold your breath) - HGTV.
buffoon 668: nice! when are you going to get back on mtv? Gideon Yago and Sway got nothing on you
JSTVTRIBE: If you saw Logans Run there is a little light in the palm of our hands - when the color changes - you don't go back.
buffoon 668: that explains why i haven't heard from Jesse Camp
buffoon 668: yes
buffoon 668: that explains it
JSTVTRIBE: God bless his soul...
Chapter IV - Music & Puppetsbuffoon 668: hey, so i downloaded a couple of songs from your site. does your band have any shows coming up, or is that more of a side-project type thing?
JSTVTRIBE: Well, I love the music, but I have the mouths to feed so the TV is where I have to devote most of my energy. We're talking to people about a doing a variety type TV show and hopefully we could integrate some music into that. Music and puppets.
buffoon 668: i'm there. if you need a writer, give me a call

Chapter V - I Want My MTVbuffoon 668: hey, did it weird you out seeing Idalis topless on "Six Feet Under?" what did you think?
JSTVTRIBE: Idalis is a blast - that's what all the VJ's used to wear at the Beach house back in the 90's.
buffoon 668: hahaha. damn, i bet!
buffoon 668: craziest story? please tell me it involves both Jenny McCarthy AND Idalis... and maybe even Kennedy
buffoon 668: but please god, don't let it involve John Norris
JSTVTRIBE: I do have some great ones, honestly - they involve chocolate frosting, monkey's, and karate BUT my kid is yanking at my leg and I don't get a lot of free time durning production so I have to take the little peanut hiking (on my back- ugh)!
Chapter VI - Farewell, Sweet SencioJSTVTRIBE: We'll continue next time I sign on. If you are not insane stay in touch (mom is this you? If it is I'm telling dad). Be Safe, Be happy - js
buffoon 668: later dude
buffoon 668: have fun
JSTVTRIBE: over & out
JSTVTRIBE signed off at 2:14:53 PM.And just like that, Sencio rode off into the sunset.
Now I have to come to grips with the fact that I'm living in a post-Sencio world. But don't worry. I shall Never Forget. Over and out.
over and out.
