May 2, 2007

Hey guys, Long time no talk. Sorry about that I've bin running around once again like a chicken without a head getting this clothing line on track. I'm also working up a new hobby that will come in handy really soon when I move back home to the land of 'The Real', New York. I've bin downloading music and working with my DJ boys to see if I have what it takes to get the party jumping.

I thought it would be a good Idea to completely disconnect myself from the hollywood world while I work on the clothing line, develop my own kid film project, and Learn to DJ. I think most adults are tainted, especially in Hollywood, so to refrain from ripping my clothes off on screen, playing the typical sex feen, or girlfriend role, I prefer to write the kid project I've had in my head since I was 15. It's time to write, it's what I got into the business for. This way I can start fresh next year, as a producer. By then, ten more celebrity people should have gotten DUI's in Hollywood and My mistakes will be long forgotten, that process has already started L.O.L.. guess I'm not so different after all. I thought I would Update you guys on what's going on lately, I know I've bin quiet, for the most part anyway.


As far as rumors go of me coming out, I guess curve magazine took it upon themselves to out me on the premise of their own suspicions. Whatever, I'm not insulted, I have a big lesbian following, and for whatever reasons they show me love I'm never going to shun, disrespect or neglect anybody who shows me genuine non-psychotic Love.

But I will Say this, to put words in someone's mouth and place people in categories affects them for sure, especially in this business. I don't know what the intent behind the curve magazine cover was. I wasn't informed of it, I had no Idea they were planning on using my image to sell magazines. By the way I only got kicked out of five schools not six.

Look, I guess what I'm trying to say ultimately is that, if I wanted people to know what I do with my Vagina I would have released A sex video a long time ago. Yet i haven't done that. You know why? Because extremists can rarely be mediators, mass communicators, or chameleons for that matter. I have bin an extremist in my personal life, Yes. Yet I have never really over stepped the boundaries consciously in the public eye. I have really focused on specific types of films for that very reason, I don't need to be limited by judgmental labels, especially in a society ruled mostly by an MTV A.D.D. mentality. See, I even labeled, It's almost second nature to the generation Y culture, and what about the popular culture groups that buy up all the US Weekly's, In Touch's, Hello's And the readers of sites like Perez Hilton.com.

If I were Ellen I may get away with: ' The I'm Gay' level of exposure, but I'm not a comedian, I like men; ( real One's Anyway) and I've only bin in this business for 7 years not 20. Years of recognition can give a person lots of leverage especially if you have many years of positive recognition under your belt. There are certain things that can close doors between a celebrity and certain audiences. Especially in a world where walls are constantly being put up by people seeking comfort and groups to belong to. There is so much out there, over-saturation of music, media, Agenda News, war, political drama, high school prom drama, image drama, religion drama, Bully drama. All this drama is caused by one thing, not understanding the true meaning of communication and the real power behind it. It's tough to learn, I'm working on it myself, but when people come out of nowhere and put words in my mouth or call me Gay, they should really think for one second How they could truly affect my life by doing such things. You don't know what producer, director, would be husband or future audience member may be influenced by these opinions and media content.

I want to communicate on a worldly scale, i don't care if your a bigot, highly religious, gay, poor, rich,stupid, or intelligent, i close no door when it comes to my media work. Some people,
( I call them 'the sheep People'), are highly susceptible to outside influences and suggestions, Especially that of recognizable media channels. These people may make up most of the worlds population. They may not want to even watch a film I produce, direct, or star in, because of Mediocre Rumors produced by insect sucubus media hounds looking for a quick buck. Who knows, I could have inspired his kid with a kids flic I produced, i could have done a female drama, that a girl would have felt empowered by, yet she didn't go see it because her religion says to 'steer from the queer', or the kid didn't see it cause highly religious Poppa doesn't want anything to do with films made by Michelle Rodriguez that DUI, Dyke, Misfit. I am free spirited enough to understand 'the keep it real be free' and 'The I can't care about everything they think' factor, yet I'm not stupid to the powers and influences of communication and I've screwed up enough to see the various repercussions of miss- communication. So All I say to both the audience and Media is to be mindful of what you say and do simply because Karma is real and you reap what you sow.

:( wow...

speechless :mellow:

were not gonna see you for awhile huh.....
battle in seattle then gone.

well you gotta do what you gotta do.
i hope everything happends for you and that you live forever and ever

She is so well spoken. My heart really goes out to her. Some people refuse to see her for what she is. Intelligent, classy, real and full of so much life and love. No matter how many times people try to bring her down, she rises up and shines again. She is an inspiration to so many of us. Much love, respect and success Michelle!

I couldn't wrote it better way... B) Nothing much to say, I guess. :clap:

Keep on doin what your doin girl. We're all behind you 100%. Don't ever forget that, and thx for keeping us updated. ;) xoxo.

just do your thing and stick to it :)

Forgive me if this falls in the "psychotic love" category...But, I'm in utter love with the woman who can be so strong and brave to write the above letter in a public forum; to be so open and honest with her heart and mind...And I would drop to my knee and ask her to marry me in a New York minute...Sorry, I'm impulsive in that way... ;)

And, while I completely agree with Michelle's decision to pull back from the celebrity scene and the public eye; and to work behind the scenes, and in other venues, as oppose to being an actress...I think I speak for most of us here when I say to her: "Please, don't be gone for too long from in front of the movie cameras...We'll miss you."



'Nuff Said! :kick:

*Squee* *Jumps on her seat* :D Awesome post man! Also getting a bit excited, but it made my day too :) Very well spoken, I agree.

This post made my day. I read it this morning, and I dunno, there is just something so uplifting and refreshingly honest about it, that it made me smile. (and late for picking up my friend. Whoops)

Thank you Michelle, for being just so normal. And good luck in your new ventures. :)

:dance: :grin: :grin:

Wow..................

*stands up and cheers* :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

...to do with films made by Michelle Rodriguez that DUI, Dyke, Misfit. ..


I prefer to think of you as as Inspirational, Hottie, Intellectual, but that's just me

I just got home a few minutes ago and saw that I had about thirty email notifications from this site, and I said to myself "The only thing that could generate that much is if Michelle herself had posted", but I thought "Nah, it was really cool that she posted once, what are the odds she'd do it twice." And here you are.

Thanks for taking the time Michelle, you have no idea what an inspiration/influence you have been on my life the last few months, and seeing you post tells me you really do care about us. It's one thing to see an actor's movies and think they're great, but you actually talk to us (albeit indirectly, but still...) and that means the world to me.

So, moving to New York eh? I'll give you an open invitation to come to my house in NJ and play the Halo 3 multiplayer beta next month! You'll get to try out the new levels, hhmmmm, what do you say?

I can order pizza?

And Beer?

With love and respect,
Bryan "Ziggy" Coe

I like that her message is what's important to her, and not separating herself from anyone. Reminds me of the Apostle Paul.

1 Corinthians 9:19-22

Can I come too!?

haha:P

this kind of post is also one of the reasons why you are such an inspiration to a lot of us. truth and freedom and complete beauty. YOu are a very intelligent woman, yet you don't seem to let the evils of the world touch you too much. I am always impressed, more peopel could stand to look at the world the way you do. just keep being you and we wil keep loving you!

^ what you said. You stole the words right from my keyboard and thoughts

*Slams her head onto the desk*

I think I may be the slowest person here.....how did i miss this? :ph43r:

Well....I'm late replying so everyone has already covered what I would've said -.- Oh well, it was a great read ;) Another prime example why there are so many loving, loyal Michelle fans.

Absolutely! :lol:

If she said yes, I wouldn't turn away anyone who had the means to come!

Your welcome too Leigh, c'mon set this thing up! I'll grab some extra controllers, pizza/tacos/mcdonalds, some soda/iced tea/beer, etc. We'll have a party! We'll call it the "1st Unofficial MRU Party".

What do you say? :huh:

Whoa! Hold on! Pause, rewind and reapeat!! .......Shes moving to New York? Since when? Oh god I am lossing it! :blink:

Hey Michelle, THIS is why we all admire you so much! Thanks for stopping by. You're the best!

I hope she won't be gone for too long.We'll miss her.

we will read us, cya :angel:


Hi Pitdroid, you need a Producer for your BOOK :D

All i read about Michelle is great! *Slime* :DD

Michelle,

It is sad to see you taking so much static for your love life. :(

You have come this far; don't let anyone hold you down now.

Don't let someone else speak for you, when you are perfectly capable of speaking for yourself.

Don't ever let someone else take your privacy away from you. What is yours is yours; don't listen when they tell you it is not.

Life is short; love who you want.

When someone else tries to put words in your mouth, just remember that it is only words.

Here are some more words for you; please take them to heart.

I hope you find love like it was meant to be for you, and I hope that everyone else is looking the other way when you do. It is none of their business.

-Ur fan

*please stand up and applause*

Hum I like this speech. It's typicaly what I think about media actually. Media can controls minds of people. I saw this when there was election for the new French President : he is the friend of the boss of the first channel, and other big head of my country. I was not suprised when he won election but unfortunately it is not a good solutions... anyway

My cousin buys usually gossips magazines and believes all the storie I can read. So I have already heart storie about Michelle but I believe only the things I saw in the real life not by reports on mag.

Ur French Fan

I totally agree with wat she says here. Well said Michelle B)
