I havent really bought anything in the last couple of months for myself and to entertain myself. So i sprung out and bought a shitload of movies and recieved some stuff for x-mas.
-Wizard of Oz
-Unforgiven
-Yes man
-Rocknrolla
-Dark Knight
And I got 3 games for x-mas
-Forza 2
-Some tuner game
-nhl 09
I also got a new ipod nano so i can finally fit all my music onto one mp3 player. I recieved some clothes and an odd amount of razors and deodarants. But what I realized today is the presents aspect of Christmas is so minor in my opinon. I love seeing family that I barely ever get to see and friends from back in saskatchewen that I nearly forgot about. I love the community aspect of it. But I've been staying with my auntie and my dad since the 15th and I don't leave until the 5th and personally I'm growing a bit bored. But I've been able to get a lot of writing done and I've been able to sleep better. I still have insomnia which I am now considering getting some minor medication for(some herbal stuff preferably).

Thriller
So I was loosing sleep after reading a story about a house invasion gone wrong, the story compelled me to create a movie idea. A cheap one. I started brainstorming to myself on how to make it a creatable idea. The idea simply being-3 Serial killers torture an already destroyed family. I got the first act down last night, then the second and third, and a great subplot. I'm just writing it here to cement the idea and to write it down somewere.
The story foes like this, a year and a half after a Father killed his own wife during an alcoholic related car accident he finally gets his license and his vehicle back. His family rejects him because he still continues to drink. Despite the fact that he already feels bad enough that he killed his own wife. It is his birthday on this day, his kids, an older daughter who has been quite sexually active with the neighbor(they live in a farm), a stoner teenaged son, and a rather intelligent young daughter, non of them got their father presents except for the youngest daughter who still loves her dad. They younger daughter phones up an older daughter who has moved out and is now living in a large city and has fully seperated herself from her father. The older daughter doesn't want to come out, stating her seperation, despite all the efforts from the youngest daughter.
The teenaged daughter visits the neighbor and asks him to come over at around 1a.m. The father goes to bed after an arguement with practically the whole family over supper. And then while everyone sleeps, at around 12 o clock someone comes into the house. Goes down to the basement where the teenaged daughter lives, and rapes her violently. 2 other wacth as this happens. They tape her mouth shut. The son goes downstairs to the kitchen to get a drink of water when he see's that the door is open, along with the door to the basement, he thinks its the neighbor who normally comes over to plow her sister, he yells for him to shut the door next time. The 3 hear this and 2 of them come upstairs and nab the son and tie him to a chair. They nab the younger daughter, then the father aswell in the midst of there sleep. They all tie them to chairs and face them towards each other in the living room.
They all get exposed to each other, all of them are scared shitless, the teenaged daughter has been beaten during her horrific experience. And we learn that these 3 men are psychotic serial killers, and by 6 a.m the entire family is going to be in garbage bags in the basement. The serial killer leader goes by Hemington, this will be revealed that he is wanted in the area earlier on when the father gets his truck back. He tells them all he is going to torture them in the way they treat themselves, jsut to show them a lesson befopre going to hell, because he believes all people do sins and they must pay for them before death. The oldest son tries backtalking to them but he gets stabbed in the leg with a screwdriver. The taller serial killer(there is also a shorter serial killer, and a leader, I refuse to name them at this point because this idea is not totally cemented), tells the son that talking is only gonna make it happen faster, and they wanna have all the fun they can while they are all still alive.
Meanwhile the oldest daughter is partying it up, she sees the time and after a talk with a boyfriend she decides to head out to visit her dad to meet her in the morning for a suprise breakfast. She leaves and takes her car with her.
The serial killers First kill the dog because he is barking to much, then the neighbor comes over, and thye deal with him aswell. The lead serial killer is asking questions to the family members to figure out who they all are, what their deal is. As I have already stated what all their issues are this is where it comes out even further, this is a family that is seperated, they even start argueing and the serial killer starts to enjoy this. Saying he will be doing good for this family instead of harm. They will meet their mother in hell.
The two other serial killers kill the neighbor and come back to see what their next task is. The olkdest daughter is first tooken into a room and she is mentored by the sick criminal, it turns out she's a whore because of the depression that overtook her after the death of her mother. The son is forced to do heroin, just to show that drug abuse isn't going to lead him anywhere but downhill, it won't help him with his depression, and it won't help him forget. Meanwhile the father is forced to drink by the lead serial killer infront of the youngest daughter who begins to get mouthy, The main serial killer enjoys her rants and reminds her that she will be the first to be bagged up.
Meanwhile the the oldest daughter is on the road, she won't be there until 6. She decides to give the house a phone call, unfortunatly the phone is unplugged because the family cant afford it, the father has been on E.I since the accident that claimed the wife. She stops at an all night gas station to fuel up. She realizes the gas station attendent is an old friend of her fathers, he offers some adivce that when a man goes through something that intense that it deals a lot, and being hard on him won't help(A little on the nose thematicly but oh well.)
Back at the house the father is getting beaten now, the youngest daughter is watching while she can do nothing. The teenaged daughter is about to be raped yet again and the son is set in his room to deal with another shot of heroin. The son manages to escape his own room by jumping out the window and hoping off the roof. The tall serial killer who was watching him warns the rest and the son manages to hide in the barn. The shorter serial killer brings the daughter back upstairs to be tied up along with the father and the younger daughter. The short serial killer is left to stay to watch them while the other two serial killers search for the son who is high on heroin.
The older daughter gets into town and starts heading towards the farm. The son manages to evade the two serial killers and escapes from the barn he manages to get into the tractor shop where he hides again. The two serial killers grab weapons from the building and start looking through the hay, narrowing it down to that or no where else.
The daughter gets to the house to realize a suspicious vehicle in the driveway. She enters the empty house, and suprises the short serial killer and manages to knock him out. She unties the entire family and they all hug glad to be alive. The father tells them about the son. And he goes outside.
The son manages to escape but he gets captured and stabbed by the main serial killer. While heading back to the house The father surpises them and kills the taller serial killer with a shotgun. They all hide in the house and call the cops. Once they get into the house they realize the shorter serial killer is gone.
The main serial killer hides in the barn, but the father takes the alcohol from before and lites it on fire burning down the barn. The serial killer escapes to an open field where he is shot dead from the father. Before the cops get there though the short serial killer manages to get the father and holds him hostage with a knife. The father drops the gun and the son aproaches as the cops are coming. The son tries to negotiate same with the entire family, the father telling them to run away before they get hurt. The serial killer backs far enough to realize that the family is now near the shotgun, the oldest daughter picks it up and the serial killer starts to slash his neck but he gets a face full of lead. The police come up and the cops arrive as the barn falls down due too the fire.
They are all hsopitalized, but they are together and no longer seperated due to there harsh experience. Two weeks later they all have a happy supper, as there new barn is built due to the reward for catching the psychopathic serial killer.
Last minute change, the main serial killer is the one that is waiting with the family and knocked out. The father kills the tall one while thye head back to the farm with the son, and then the short one in the field. The main one stabs his neck.
So yea here it is. I'm sure it kind of looks like a cliche thriller..but Oh well, I think it could be done on a rather efficent budget with some great actors.

Homeless Extermination
Hear me out now. i got this great idea for a film while being fake interviewed today. I expressed my view on the homeless and I think this would be a great premise for a film.
It would take place in the future obviously, crime has been practically removed but homeless rate is still high so a mayor of a "World city(newyorkcity)" decides to create a program to force the homeless into a work force. They would get a job doing slave labour practicly, they would be fed and housed. But the propoghanda news would exploit this to show that the homeless are actually being taken care of. The story would take place from 3 perspectives. A homeless man who gets picked up off the street and forced in. A protester who we would follow the most, and the mayor of this operation. We would open on the mayor and try and sympathise with him because he has been recieving such harsh criticism because of his dealings with the homeless problem. He would then create this program to create special work facilities for them so they could work and get food and shelter. They would make videos to show that the homeless would be happy. We would then switch to the homeless man visiting his son who would eventually become the protester. The homeless man gets ridiculed for being homeless by his son. But after his father gets brought into the system the son quickly figures out that his father is actually being facilitated in a disgusting disease filled dump, being fed diseased filled food, and treated like shit.
He will then find the protesters and join them. Meanwhile a friend of his will be video taping the incidents in the prison secretivly as a homeless person. But he will send out the videos shortly before he falls ill and they end up killing him. The mans father see's this and tries to revolt and gathers an escapaed to escape. But the other homeless people are happy and are working hard for there share of food and housing. They see the possibility of this job going somewhere beyond these conditions. But the old man sees this job as slave labor and nothing more. He plans to escape just as his son is about to stage war against the operation and find out where all the homeless are being held.
The mayor finds out about this protest earlier on and deals with it by shutting them out as being a second world industrialist, or a socialist party protesting about how they should be paid the same amount.(boo the world shouldn't be equal, the majority disagree with these protesters then!)The mayor then has to deal with this mob of protesters the only way he can. Which is killing them. Well he doest succeed with all of them! And well, the father gets caught shortly after the son finds him, and the father gets killed, and the son tries to save him but dies aswell with that. But the video filmed earlier gets mass broadcasting and shows all the evil about the mayors deeds and he gets jousted out of there. Resolutions is... Homeless get rights to what they want. ionno, I'd like to see you all do better while under the influence of alcohol and lack of sleep!

Tv Pilot
The show is about a guy who gets hired to work in a entertainment store(it has a video game section, a trading card section, a comic book section, and a movie section.) Here are my general characters.
Jeremy(main character)-He is a 22 year old virgin who has been addicted to video games all of his life. He gets hired for his expertise but he gets placed in the Trading card section with Mikeal. Despite being a pathetic excuse for life he is a charming and positive young man and this job could possibly open up a social doorway that he has yet to explore.
Mikeal-He is the tradition Magic player. 30 years young, still living with his parents, plays every trading card game imaginable, wears the same disgusting clothes everyday and has a stylish neckbeard. He is very defensive against anyone who pretends to know shit about the trading card industry and he constantly contradicts himself with his slander.
Berard-He supervises the comic book section. He is the guru for help, he knows everything about everything, but all he does is read comic books and smoke pot.
Jessica-She is the misplaced cinephile. Despite being an 11/10 she still hangs around all these virgin fags but never gives them a chance. She can be manipulative, but she has her reasons.
Bryan-He operates the games department. He has the biggest drive to succeed beyond the industry but he has such a love for games that he cant let go of the life. He also has a major anger issues and tends to rage over the stupidest shit. He has the major hots for Jessica but we all know that it will never work out.
Bob/Sherry-The owners, they are happily married cliche nerds. The type of married couple that you see playing WoW together. They operate the store with a relaxing motive and they tend to set up major events in the store. They are also big cos players.
Perry-He got fired from the store because Mikeal didn't get along with him and Perry did some unmentionable stuff in a backroom with his left hand. He works at a different game store that some of the workers must go to if they need to find a certain item. But Perry will always reject them, Perry is also a petty virgin and his anger towards everyone at his former store is all because he is secretly lonely.
Secondary characters
Xhunhi-He runs the Anime portion of the comic book section. He has slick blonde hair and a disgusting acne problem. He isn't very talkative unless you bring up anime. He is quite brilliant when it comes to asian culture despite.
The Rat-all though his name is never mentioned he is constantly hanging around the trading card section. He never buys anything, but Mikeal enjoys chatting with him. He is hideous and no one thinks he has a job. He never really does anything but he is always an annoyance for the rest of the store.
Mac-He is the big black security guard. He loves palying Grand theft auto and plays it more then he watches the store. He is constantly breaking up nerd rage and he is a great idol for the rest of the store as he is actually quite socialably normal. Although he tends to redicule the rest of the staff for being pathetic.
The Gamer kid-He is a re accuring character who always comes to the game section and plays the demos. He has never bought anything and sometimes he will stay there for 3 hours. Bryan is always trying to beat him in gamesbut this 10 year old kid is jsut way to damn good. Bryan see's a bit of himself in the kid but sometimes he likes to harass him.
Claudia-She is a close friend of Jessica's and she is also fairly atractive. she is always visitng the store just to hang out. Mostly with Bernard since they're cousins. Mikeal actually tries to form a relationship with her but Mikeal is just too sloppy.
This is my new pilot idea. I'm a lot more happier with this one then my other which turned way to dark. I'm going for the Community feal. The nerd comedy essentially.

Idea
I was thinking of theme over the last couple days and how you could make a story out of brainstorming controversal themes in the common world.
I was thinking of a story about a high school run by a dumbass principle. The school focuses all of its attention to sports and after funding a massive high school stadium one kid acts out and tries to promote equality through out the school system and bring attention to the problems the school has.
I'm not sure of the rest of the story, but from what I wrote it has a debatable theme. Socialism. The goal is to promote equality through out the school system. Equal benefits and funding for every program. The princple obviously against that idea. Our main character for it. Also that ever disputed issue of who's better, athletes or intellectuals. The problems of the high school would be further explored. Things like bullying, racism, under age sex, and ageism. Kids can still make a difference.
And yea, jsut though I should write that down somewhere.

Writing 3 features at once.
Wow... I'm currently at the busiest I have ever been writing wise yet it doesn't seem to feel like much.
I'm writing 3 features right now. All of which are first drafts. Here is a logline and the genre of all 3 of them.
Revolt(drama)-A young man starts doing graffiti after his fathers company runs out of business due to the big box stores moving in. He is guided by a former graffiti writer who tried to take them on years prior but gave up in the process.
Grand junction(comedy/drama) a 26 year old man goes through a divorce and looses his job days apart and decides to move back to his hometown to get his shit together but an old high school crush begins to rekindle. But once his ex wife starts to have feelings for him again he must decide between the girl of his dream or the whore that divorced him.
The Getaway Driver(thriller/action)in 1972 texas a getawat driver ditches a psychotic killer during a failed robbery and heads to mexico. But he is then perservered by the psychotic killer a dedicated police officer who is looking for the killer and a bounty hunter hired to find the money stolen from the bank.
Right now i'm fancying The Getaway driver because it can have such a great potential ending and the first 10 pages is so compact yet exciting(in my opinion). Revolt i started today and got up to page 7, I managed to do a beat sheet but I have the ending down and i think I'm going to just go with the flow of things since that worked well for the other two features. Grand junction is currently in hiatus because of my concetration on the other two. It sits at 19 pages.
I'll be blasting out the first 24 pages of Revolt over the next couple of days. That makes 3 pages a day. I hope to get up to the inciting incident by the end of tommorow. Now if this isn't a passion for writing then I don;t know what is..

But he is then perservered by the psychotic killer a dedicated police officer who is looking for the killer and a bounty hunter hired to find the money stolen from the bank.
Right now i'm fancying The Getaway driver because it can have such a great potential ending and the first 10 pages is so compact yet exciting(in my opinion). Revolt i started today and got up to page 7, I managed to do a beat sheet but I have the ending down and i think I'm going to just go with the flow of things since that worked well for the other two features. Grand junction is currently in hiatus because of my concetration on the other two. It sits at 19 pages.
I'll be blasting out the first 24 pages of Revolt over the next couple of days. That makes 3 pages a day. I hope to get up to the inciting incident by the end of tommorow. Now if this isn't a passion for writing then I don;t know what is..

4a.m posting
It's 4a/m and I thought I ought to reflect for a moment and express my weekend in a nutshell.
-Friday, I missed workshops because my alarm clock didnt work and I managed to sleep tell 3 p.m. I would then go on to do nothing else for the rest of the day. I truely am one lazy basterd lately. I also watched dazed and confused and Waiting... and got some ideas for my two side features i'm currently writing.
-saturday(aka yesterday, but since im still awake i count it as one full day.)-Woke up at 2ish. Went and checked out my soon to be new room out near renfrew(its cheap and has everything, plus its out of downtown and the money i say on the rent goes to a skytrain pass so i could finally start doing more freights. Its also in a busy commercial big box area so shopping is easy and the station is litterally a block away. )After that I took a stupidly long skytrain home, for a normally 15 minute ride it took an hour. What a fucking joke. Anyways i got home, did nothing of notable excitment for the last 10 hours.
sunday-I plan to get as much work done as possible. I have the wedding crashers thing. The beat sheat for sitcom. The desk jokes, and I will write up about the star wars scripts. I'm getting all this shit out of the way so i can finally focus on my newest feature which is a 1972 action period piece which i'm growing quite fond of.
Hopefully next week is more eventful then this one..

Best Dream Ever
So i just woke up from one of the best most epicest dream's i think I've ever had. It was like a movie was going on and it never really had an explanation. Here is how it went.
-I'm chilling in my apartment when I hear a giant bomb go off. I go to see what it is and i find that downtown vancouver is getting bombed. Its raining, its stormy out and I'm confused as fuck. So i question someone and they tell me that its some kind of zombie apoloplyse. I get confused and then the zombies come in, they're normal looking people but all they wanna do is inflict paint to others. I try running until I see that all the major avenues are blocked off by massive army barricades. They say they are going to destroy the entire downtown to stop the infected. I'm still trying to make sense of all of this so i call up some random guy who I guess is my uncle and he tells me to go to the airport so we can fly out of the city into the mountains. Well somehow I escape the city to watch it get bombed. I get to the airport to see it is in massive panic. But my uncle has a bi-plane which we begin to take off with but a boeing 747 seems to be flying out of control. It ends flying right into our path, we lift off in time to avoid it and we watch as the plane crashes into 2 other planes docked at the airport and they explode. We fly over the downtown as we watch the city get annihlated. For some reason I have the typical family living in north van and i sympathize for them as we fly over north van into the mountains. I finally get an explanation for this. What apparently happened is some weird chemical ended up in nearly every de-salinization plant in the country. De salization is what makes tap water drinkable. And the chemical manages to turn off all primal instincts in the brain and kill them. All of them except for the primal instincts of madness. It doesn;t make sense but I guess this is a dream soo whatever. These people only have one characteristic about there appearance that defines them as infected. It's there eyes and if they are running towards you in rage then kill them.
Well this uncle of mine has the genious idea to fly to edmonton to chill at a pop factory, in his mind the de-salinizartion process is crossed out by the carbonated water. And this proves to make no sense but it ends up being true. We fly over cities as thye burn. I keep sympathizing for my fake family. Thinknig they are all dead by now. We get to edmonton its a ghost town. we end up in a pop factory. Another person inhabits it and says its true. He lived there for the last week. We live there for a week or two before the old man ventures off to find more food.. He doesnt come back. We go out looking for him. We find a river with him floating in it. We get raided by 20-30 rage victims and kill them all with an assualt rifle and a paddle.
We get the idea that we cant stay here alone like this. We need to find someplace to go to stay safe. Uncle gets the idea to go back to vancouver to see if the army handled everything. We get a hold of a radio and we hear they made a camp there in north vancouver which is guarding the non infected. A river supplies water, and they grow there own food. They also host a university which is the main safe haven. So we try to take the plane back but it wont start. So we end up in the parking lot getting chased by rage victims. We end up finding a really nice SUV which is like an army vehicle and we steal it. If the rage victims bite you well they are gonna fucking BITE YOU. And from reports over 50% of the population is infected. 40% died just from these people killing them. It made no sense whatsover. Other countries are jsut as worse. Africa I guess woudln;t recieve anything because thye dont desalinize their water they jsut drink it but I guess the radio tells us something else logical has happened and that the same statistic seems to be across the board. 2 months and no cure for this disease. And water is still not drinkable from the tap so you cant really find an underground lair to hide in unless its a tunnel.
So we on the road once we find something shocking. A bus filled with Rage victims..a rage victim is DRIVING the bus. Well they try and jump us, we kill them with a samurai sword which is oddly place din the back. And you can only kill these fuckers if you fuck up there skull. My uncle is the badass killing them while I drive against this massive bus. I end causuing the bus to wheeve into a gas station blowing it up. We kill baddys.
We end up back in vancouver. It's a ghost town. We find the university is actually a safe haven. And we havent even seen one single rage victim yet, its confusing, we get to the house to find my family hiding in the basement. We go to the university and they tell uis the rage victims are finally dieing from from the disease. It slowly infected them over the month and its finally killed them. But some of them are in the heighest state of RAGEEE. And wellthe university gets raided by them. We watch as thousand more die form these basterds. We kill them visciously using anything. We end up blowing a massive gasoline tank and causing some giant structure to fall on a bunch of them. We get airlifted out. And we manage to watch the city get once again destroyed. We fly over one last sot of the entire city, everything is a fucking mess. The end....

Things That i Hate About My Life
At the current time it seems i'm going through a rough patch in my life, so here is somethings that I feel i should get off my chest so i can relax a bit.
-I can't get to sleep before 3 a.m.. I cant remember the last time i was awake at this house on my computer doing nothing productive. But simply widdling awya the hours until I felt like passing out. I think this is entirely because of my current diet which has been pathetic and I am really trying to make a change of that. But that leads to the problem with cooking in my apartment. If whoever reads this hasn;;t alreayd realized I have 5 roomates. 2 of which are never really around and I don't see them very often so they aren't the problem. One of them is alright, and the other two... Well lets just say they are getting on my nerves with there obvious ignorance. I'm the only person who seems to take out the trash. Or clean up anything for that matter. And these 2 faggots(they actually are gay.) have been very neglegent of the dishwashing system. They seem to think its ok to make dirty dishes then keep them in the sink until there is no more clean dishes. Then they will wait a couple days and decide to clean them. They did this once before. And they are starting it again. I warned them both about it. They posed as if thye were going to by cleaning a couple cups and filling this nearly moldy pan with water and soap. But that was 2 days ago. And that pan still sits with water in it in the sink. Along with all the bowls and spoons. Seriously....I'm getting a new roomie next week and if this new guy is-Ignorant, lazy, or/and bitchy then i'm gonna finally just give up on this accomodation. The only reason I stay is because its close to everything and the rent is decent and I get everything. The only problem is the lazy assholes that end up living here.
-Another problem is that I've slowly become a socialite. I don't make plans anymore because it seems everyone has something better to do. So I don't even bother. I stick to renting movies from the library, watching them, and watching tv, playing WoW, and typing non-sense on this laptop until these late hours. This leads me to my homesickness. Not only for G.P. But for regina. I've been missing Regina since I left there 5 or 6 years ago. Its for so many reasons. I had such awesome friends there. I knew the city so well that I enjoyed being a part of it for that reason of simply knowing it. It was close to all my family. If I could drive I could drive to saskatoon, calgary, winnipeg, and anything else inbetween in nearly the exact same time as it takes to get from g.p to anywere. And Well, the people. I miss so many faces from there. And it kills me that I can't really go back for a very long time and see them. Damnit to hell.
-To add to the sleeping problem I think i'm going to have to get addicted to coffee so I can have that cafiene crash. I'll start tommorow with Timmy's coffee.
-I dislike my current feature. Its not something that I enjoy writing because of its personal effect to my interests. My interests being graffiti and some of the characters seem to have begun to mirror people I have met in my life. And I don't really like that. But I think its a sellable script once it gets its kinks worked out. I just need to concentrate on whats the issues of it. I need to show it to someone who knows me best, someone who is also interested in the subject matter. I was thinking that it would be great to send it to BANKSY. But I have no way of doing that. It would also be my dream for Jared Leto to be in it. I think he would want to aswell because on his imdb profile it made it look like he greatly apreciates the art community. And he has played several socially unnacceptable roles in movies such as drug addicts and supporters of fight clubs... But I have a new script i'm working on that I quite enjoy. And another Idea that I think is really something fantastic and intersting that I'd like to pull out for the second feature for school. But we shall wait and see how that turns out.
-One of the things that i'm starting to realize is that I'm getting lazy with my work habits. I haven't done anything productive writing wise in over a week. And I have shit due tommorow. i hope this is jsut because of my poor eating habit at the moment and my odd sleeping pattern. i hope to start working on the food thing as soon as possible. I bought a bunch of healthy food today and I plan to start cooking actual meals again instead of microwaved stuff.
-I miss doing graffiti. Especially right now, last year this was one of my most productive times of the year. And this month this year I've only done 1 piece and nothing else. Its mostly because of the current weather. And my lack of paint. But its also a lack of ambition and I have no friends to go out with and do this. I was able to do it alone back home because I didn't have to worry about being hassled but here its different. Other writers will beat the shit out of you if they find your painting in there spots. Or if you have associated with anyone who might have a bad rep(I have associated with some of those characters, but they are actually good guys.. Just got into bad habits with what they do in the manner of graffiti.)

Wacken
I've been up watching Wacken videos for the last 3 hours and I really wanna go some day. But these select bands must be playing or else its not worth the trip to germany the 3 days of tenting and the possible outrageous pricey ticket. Or this would be an epic lineup non the less, its believability is slim but i'll take my chance.
-Killswitch engage
-All that remains
-Children of bodom
-Blind guardian
-Hammerfall
-As I Lay Dying
-Lamb of god
-Disturbed(I'm not much of a fan, but I can see them there and I can imagine they have hype live shows)
-Some old school band like guns and roses or Europe.. Id kill to see europe live. Despite them not being metal
-In Flames
-Nightwish
-Sonata Artcica
-Unearth(Not a favorite but its on my metal list)
-Parkway drive
This list seems pretty thesable because a vast amount of these bands played wacken last year. The only ones that i could see as a long shot are, parkway drive, unearth, disturbed, and blind guardian. I'm not sure if blind guardian even plays anymore.
But i'll wait tell I see this lineup come around. Then off to germany for a week! I think it will happen 2011.

Grand junction
Decided to start another screenplay since i'll have some spare time for the next couple days. I plan to get the first act done and read for the cold read. Adam owes me a reading damnit! But I got the idea on the weekend, how, I don't really remember. But its going to be a comedy with a relationship involved. But today I got a monster boost of writing energy after the sketch cold read and I wrote up the first 7 pages which are looking pretty swell.
But the schedule looks like i'm going to have to write up to page 25 by next monday in order to hit that cold read. So here is the sampler of the story.
-A young man reaches a midlife crises a little to early after he gets fired and his wife divorces him.. With no options left he goes to start over back in his hometown were he meets old enemies, old friends, and old lovers.
So far i'm closing in on the divorce, plan on the call back home to be the inciting incident. He wil deny, but he will then get fired and lose his house and destroy his car. then head back to good old Grand Junction.
Personally I felt it was difficult to write Challenging the Illusion because it is such a personal subject and not a lot of people understand it and I hated talking about it because of the follow up questions. But I think this comedy thing will be a whole different story. And plus I get to create a more believable story and the characters I formed for the woman aren't cardboard cut outs but normal and authentic sounding people. Except for the wife who will be a total whore/bitch.

Feature/weekend
I did a 10 page a day for the weekend. It went a whole lot smoother then i thought it would. 95 pages(I'll have to add a couple more later on but right now its done to me..) And I did a whole lote besides that script.
friday-Hung out with Elsa, watched Taxi Driver.
saturday-Wrote some script pages and start another short script about a guy in a monorail accident. After that I headed to north vancouver for an old friends thanksgiving thing. Met some of his family and discussed some odd stuff like suicide, nobel prize winners, and other stuff. After that I went for some drinking with the old friend and this guy who turned out to be a writer. We bought cheap beer, went to Crab park to meet these other writers, drank, and played this kick the can game. After that we decided to go to some club in gastown. While on the way we did a shitton of tags and it was kinda heaty and stupid but whatev we still alive and well. Once we got to the club the only person I really knew at all ditched and I was talking to some girl and I kept having to shout for people to hear me. Which frustrated me..plus I didn't have money for alcohol so blehh. Walked home at 2 a.m. Stayed up trolling the web tell 4..werd
Sunday-woke up, ate popsicles for breakfast, wrote some more pages. Went to burnaby to hang out with ethan and watch Zombieland. Later got a free dinner from him for a birthday present. Then went to patricias for some socializing. After that I went home and I went on this site called Omegle and well. Elsa said I'm a real charmer, so I wanted to see how other men charm woman. So I went on omegle posing as a 20 year old girl from wherever, each conversation is anonymous, but i created a fake email for my alias for those who i would like to further troll. It was actually quite entertaining creating a different story for myself. My alter ego A.K.A Jewel(got her name from the fishing ship that her father died on) I think i'm going to do this to create more stories and learn something about the male psychee, because I don't think I know how men think even though I am one. I blame this on the fact that I don't do a whole lot of woman picking uping. And well, I'd like to see how its done. From the female stand point. And well its fun to see how the conversation roll out.
friday-Hung out with Elsa, watched Taxi Driver.
saturday-Wrote some script pages and start another short script about a guy in a monorail accident. After that I headed to north vancouver for an old friends thanksgiving thing. Met some of his family and discussed some odd stuff like suicide, nobel prize winners, and other stuff. After that I went for some drinking with the old friend and this guy who turned out to be a writer. We bought cheap beer, went to Crab park to meet these other writers, drank, and played this kick the can game. After that we decided to go to some club in gastown. While on the way we did a shitton of tags and it was kinda heaty and stupid but whatev we still alive and well. Once we got to the club the only person I really knew at all ditched and I was talking to some girl and I kept having to shout for people to hear me. Which frustrated me..plus I didn't have money for alcohol so blehh. Walked home at 2 a.m. Stayed up trolling the web tell 4..werd

Cody Tv
Someone had the genious idea that I create my own tv station. So i'm going to add that to my mental list of things to do in the next 20 years. Here is what my tv show list would look like.
starting with
6a.m-7a.m-Classic cartoon tv show reruns..
8a.m-8.30-Sports tv with panel of reporters who get paid shitty wages yet enjoy what they do.
8:30-10-A show similiar to MTVLIVE where people just talk about random shit, kind of like a radio show with all the reaccuring characters having some kind of subject to cover at some point in the show. It will include guest hosts ranging from famous to random people off the street. It will also focus on current events and shit like dat.
10-12--Reruns of the price is right starting form 1985.
12-3--A daytime movie(Every day..)
3-5--Sitcom reruns(From Simpsons to Senfeld and anything else we can get a hold of.)
5-6--Prime time tv, This will vary form day to day. I'd suggets original programming such as a game review show and Urban Night Golf. Possible other exceptions, pitch sessions would be held for this position.
6-7:30--More CODYTV live, im considering changing the name of the channel to something less self centered. Like RBTV(Rare Breed TV). This show would be like the one before but more news orientated with guest callers and some prime news and exciting funnyness.
7:30-8-Original Sketch comedy tv show.
8-10--Some original funny tv show's. Possibly one with cops who do funny stuff...
10-11-Canadian Funny tv reruns, ranging from trailer park boys, to house party, to corner gas.
11-2a.m--Late night movie, not a porno but rated for adults. Like..Watchmen.
2a.m-2:30-Pokemon reruns, starting with episode 1 and running through all the spin offs and seasons.(500 episodes of that show)
2:30-5--Reruns of shows that have been cancelled for ever, like firefly, drive, miami vice, columbus, anything else that is good and died before its time.
And well thats CODYTV for a weekday.

Urban Night Golf
For Documentary i have to write a treatment. I'm quite entertained by my subject and personally the story is amazingly flawless thus so far. Mostly because it is featuring real people who I konw who have real problems. And it has real locations, real situitions that could happen, and real consequences.
In short the documentary is about a group of urban golfers who set out to raise awareness of the sport Urban Night Golf. They go across western united states and canada and stop off at 7 or 8 key locations. I've managed to get up to Las vegas, we have denver, minneapolis and toronto to go. At this point in my story we have had a shitload of trouble, but we have gained publicity. In denver things go great, everything is awesome. Citizens actually enjoy seeing us, cops don't mind and we get to legally finish our hole off in the six flags course. But oh shit, minneapolis is hell for everyone. Things go wrong left and right. We end up loosing our funding for a month, and our driver gets sick from eating take out. But we manage to find a way to our climax, in toronto we propose the idea of a competition for the city. We get massive support from people all over, especially in the places we visited. One of the biggest stops was vegas, where we met former PGA golfers and introduced thme tot he sport and thye enjoyed it. In toronto we get rejected at first, but we give up those golfers a call, also make some more calls to a bunch of people mentioned through out. Then we plan our own public course, police are overwhelmed and allow it once they see over 300 golfers show up for the event. The event is a success, Urban golf is mentioned on ESPN. And The main characters go back home, to enjoy a brew and shoot some holes on there first course. The main chacaracter proposes doing it again, the world is filled with places to do it, and only canada has an established competition.
But anyways, it has an ensemble cast, all with believable archs. It also features a variety of different challenges, ranging from laziness, to financial issues, to criminal charges, to addiction, to vehicular malfunctions. All of which belate the 4 month road trip.
I'm not going to finish it right away, I plan to milk it tommorow in documentary and see the response of it.

Time to catch up with the times.
I watched 3 movies on my list over the weekend, 500 days of summer, groundhog day, and most of silence of the lambs. I'd say it was spent wisely. But today,, i watched most of the entourage season 3. I need to watch the first and second season now, and the rest of the third, and well every other season. It will take awhile to catch up:(
But this week we have a fuckton of homework. I have to read 3 scripts, thats 90 pages(which is difficult for me...) by wednesday. Then a 4 page treatment for documentary which is going to be difficult because i must discuss a story that hasn't happened yet...
Next week, sketch class I have to work with chava which will be interesting, and write some political jokes. next week i got to get up to page 75 on the old treatment. Thats 24 more thne what I have now. Fuck... But I expect to be done with this fucking feature by the end of the term no matter what. And to be honest it seems like a workable and cheap idea to film. As for port short i'm really sure my killer sofa sketch will serve as a decent and workable idea. Its got the funny, its got the horror/thriller, and it mocks awkward and strange fears.
As for life, my roomates are pissing me off. The three mexicans are being lazy wankers, they havent done the dishes in a week and a half now, although i reminded them a few times. Unfortunatly I cant move out tell the end of november. So i'll have to put up with these lazy assholes tell then, but we get this new roomie come october and she seems like the type of person that will put her foot down to such a situition. As for me i'm more passive, and i only tell the landlord(who lives with us, one of the lazy mexicans) about the issue, he keeps pulling it back and its getting annoying. But oh well, atleast the guy i share my room with is cool with me staying up late.
Also my birfday is next monday. I expect to do something awesome friday, then I have some family coming over on saturday and I will hang out with them. Then on monday back to school. And hopefully I can sneak in my feature pages, and my sketch with chava, and the jokes, and the possibility of rewriting my shorts.

Posting my love
-Today I went to the lab, did 3 pages in about 45 minutes. Then came home and reflected onto something. I have 45 pages done. And I still have a weekend to spend doing anything I want. Now I look at some of the other people who are in my class and witness that they only have 20 some pages at the time. And atleast 45 needs to be done by monday. Jesus its going to be stressfull for them. But thing that bothers me about this is that they have had the last 2 weeks to work on it. Why start on the day before deadline? Is that what you're going to do when it comes to a career? If you are going to a film school for writing it shouldn't be a difficult task to write, or else why would you have came.
I'm sure my current screenplay isn't flawless, but that doesn't matter. I'm not incredibly attached to it anyway. To be honest its one of my least favorite stories. But its easy to write because I might actually enjoy doing this.
Blah blah blah, anyways I think I made the defining choice for a career. Since most writers are typically lonely souls who do nothing but type. And they end up enjoying it... Hell the best part of it is I don't have to go to work if I don't want to. Since my hobby is evidently my work! Which means someday I can go on with my plan for a roadtrip. Then eventually a cros country Urban Night Golf road trip.

Failed post 2
Once you die your conscience might not be able to handle it. Your conscience will then create its own universe were you are reborn without knowing anything you previously knew. You will be created into the animal or thing you cared/disliked the most. Say I hate paris hilton, if I was a great person in life then I will become her in my next life, or a new her. And if I was homeless, and I wanted to become a turtle that lives for a century and its my favorite animal, then i will become that.
Personally the thing i hate most is moths, and the thing i love most is well. Im not sure. Those who aren't sure before death don't become anything. or so there conscience would know. They would go into a randomizing bin and an animal/place/planet/human(Race/gender) would be picked at random.
Whatever you were in the past life you might apreciate in the new life. So If i enjoyed foxes, and i was a terrible person. Then id be a fox, and i'd respond well to film students/graffiti artists.
I know this is all rather random and out there, but its my belief. Since I have no reaosn to believe that a heaven exists when i'm unable to witness it for myself. Would be ncie if heaven and hell had a brochures and not jsut a mans word..
This in response to chavas relfection on beliefs.

My Movie Ideas.
I was hit in the face with the fact that every movie idea ive splurted out has a tragic ending. I shall demonstrate.
Porn star gets aids-She finds love through out the story, but in the end she dies.
Wasting the world-A son and his father hide from a major mob boss. The father dies after the son leaves him, but the mtoher who is related to the mob bos wants to see her son. They eventually find him in russia, and well he realizes he can never escape her grasp, and he cant live with the guilt that he killed his dad. So he kills both his mom the mob boss and himself..
Whale Story-About a guy who is chasing a mythical whale that killed his father, in the end he finds out he was huting the whales offspring during his endevour, and the whales offspring gets killed, and the mommy whale takes her wrath, killing most of the crew and the captain gets rescued. He finds the dead offspring beached on the shore, and realizes he is no better then them after what he did.
Challenging the illusion-They try to battle society and try and get there point across that graffiti needs to coexist, but they get no respect in the end, and have to leave the city in order to stay safe, and everything they did during the movie is diminished shortly after it was done, except one.
World War 3-Although this one is sort of starting on the shit note and it works to the high note of america winning the war and getting back the country, but at the cost of such a dephicite that the entire country will need to reboot.
In the life of a zombie-A long distance motorcrosser with a camera with a nearly endless battery/film life is turned into a zombie. In the end he dies, but some humans get the camera, and they get ambushed by humans.
Changed Subjects-A up and coming glorified delivery boy gets in an accident with a student, the student sues him and it ruins his life. In the end the student dies from a tumor and the Delivery guy goes to the funeral to officially apoligize since he never reallly did it, even though the student helped him after the delivery boy tried to kill himself because he lsot everything. And the student helped him atleast get a job and get his girlfriend back..
The lost island-Its about some mythical race of people who live on some secluded island, and this one young man thinks he seen an island so he tries to get to the island. No one is aloud to touch the ocean, and he does, and he manages to get to the island only to die moments before getting there in a sea storm. His story is told throughout the tribe on the island to scare there world into thinknig the ocean is terrible. They died off 4000 years later from disease and famine.
Solomn History-A sadistic man finds his wife cheating on a gay guy(Its a misconception, he was just aploligizing for a past incident.) In the end the sadistic man is charge with vehiclular homicide after finding out that the man he was chasing was getting married to a gay man and was merely telling the sadistic mans wife that he was doing so. He feels guilt, but he cant do much aboot it now.
Rahz-Its kind of like a LOTR story about this city in a deep valley that holds the vault that is magicly sealed, behind the vault sits a massive army of dark creatures that were conjured by a past sorcerer, but he was defeated by a group of heros who had to sacrifice themselves in order to protect the sorcerer and the army from reaching the earth again. But when a new army led by a total asshat crushes the city that protects the vault and it releases the contents of the vault, the deal was that the heros sacrificed there power into the vault, they were technically frozen with those dark demons, so if the vault were ever to be broken then they could battle the demons back to the vault and lock it. The heros are unfrozen, but in the end they sacrifice themselves again to lock up the demons.
Alien Invasion-A group of survivors from an alien attack end up trying to escape the planet in an alien aircraft only to be taken over by the mtoher ship, the humans manage to kill themselves, aswell as the mtohership in the end.
A tale of Two islands-5 bounty hunters have to get a wealthy business man from a utopian city, but the only way for them tog et there is byway of the islands twin, which is the shithole/garbage dump/crime filled ghetto of the other island. In the end the 5 bounty hunters end up not getting the man and they get kicked out of the shit city for causing a rukus. But they all worked together to get to this end result, since they were all competitors.
The liqour clerk-A liqour clerk gets fed up with getting robbed so he holds up a couple of hoodlums who were trying to rob him. In the end he gets arrested and trialed for homicide after he killed one of the people he held up.
White streets-A arogant cop gets his wife kkidnapped, he gets sent on a wild goose chase into the drug underworld to take down the man who he thinks kidnapped his wife, in the end he is told that he took down the wrong person, the person who actually kidnapped his wife was the person who told him it was the person he killed. Who was competition for the drug trade in the city. In the end his wife and kid is dead, and he demands to take wrath upon the citys underworld for what they took from him.
Wolves-A family ends up in a parallel universe where thye are hunted by wolves. They need to exits through a protal by the end of the last night, but while doing it the father looses his wife and his son. And a different story about someone who lsot there family 20 years ago and sitll believes there husband lived in the parallel un iverse is happening. The new family is helped by the man who lived in that universe for 20 years, in the end he sacrifices himself in order for them to get out of the portal. The father has lsot his daught and wife, so its also a tragidy for him.
Jesus that took awhile, if anyone reads this then thanks, give feedback, although these don't reveal alot of plot.

Life At The Moment.
So ive decided to write down my life at the present time to understand my situitions for the future.
BADS:
-My roomate last month was this reallly flamboyantly gay french guy. My present roomate is another flamboyantly gay mexican guy. And personally ive had enough with sharing my room with these creepy and incredibly confused individuals.
-I plan to move out at the end of october, the issue is that I have no furniture so i have to find a funrished room that I don't have to share. My expectations are normal, but still rather high. I need wireless internet, a washer/dryer, furnished bedroom(I only really need a bed, it could be sitting on the floor and id be fine.) It needs to be walking distance to school or a skytrain ride to school aslong as the rent and the skytrain month pass doesn't exceed my rather slim budget, and I need the roomate count to be less then 4. And they must be working/students/people who aren't always chillen at home being lazy and not doing anything for anyone, and it mgiht be a bit much to ask that they aren't illegal immigrants.
-My landlord who lives on the sofa in the living room said there might be bed bugs in the living room. This is another factor the already vast list of reasons i need to move out. The thing is I have the biggest fear of bugs for some reason. Last night I had a massive jolt of fear when i felt something against my leg. I freaked out only to realize it was a loose thread from my blanket.
-School has become busier then I thought, so I cannot get a job at this time, and my financial situition will still be a stressful one. I really wished I saved more for school. But I wanted to get out of grande prairie so badly that I overlooked my actual financial situations and just jumped right into school. School was definetly worth attending so far, i'm convinved that I can get somewere in this business. And i'm convinced that this was the right time to do it in my life... My mom told me today that I was going to get money from my dad for child support soon. 150$ a month, which will help alot combined with my moms already 100$ a month. And since she still owes me 150$ for this month I will have the potential to pay off my credit card and put 100$ or so in my bank account.
-I have very few dollars to spend in october, so im going to try my best to be the best penny pincher ever. Barely any fast food, barely any drinking, and barely any useless shit that I really don't need(Like movie rentals, buying video games foor my failing Xbox. Etc). I have enough saved up for food and stuff during the month of october, in november i expect to get a beautiful check from the government which will give me some money to let off my worry for a little while and pay off the rest of my tuition. But I will have to rent on my credit card for october and November(I won't get the cheque right away.) and damage deposit which I will recieve back and can put into a new place. But my mom has commited to helping me with that at all costs. Since she is somewhat responsible for taking care of me still since I personally think i deserve some help with situition since i'm only 18 and living on my own and going to school with barely anything in my name.
-It would be really awesome if i had furniture, if my mom or any family mmembers actually decided to move out lameass saskatchewen and I could contact them for some supplies to get my own one bedroom place where i could rent out the bedroom and i could live in the living room for cheap(Seen a decent amount of places like this for only 500$, that would be 250$ a month!) The only problem about these places is i have shit all, and my family has all this shit they never really use. But if I were to move into a place in lets say, Saskatoon, i'm sure i could get atleast a free sofa from the family. I don't consider this bumming stuff off people, since they aren't using it anyway. I consider this helpful for both of us. Since my mom has a shitload of furniture that is sitting somewere form when we used to lvie in regina. And i find it highly unbelievable that we threw it all out. And i don't really need the bed in my old room back home at the moment anyway. I mean what the fuck, why wasn't moving all my shit here on the original agenda??
-Xbox 360, the piece of shit got the RROD a few months back,, i put some pennies in it..she worked fine up until three days ago. Then she died again. I cleaned everything inside today and now its working again. But for how much longer? Thanks alot you piece of shit xbox, if you die then i will have to watch movies on this laptop and it makes it icnredibly distracting and looses some of the entertainment value.
GOODS
-I'm still ontop of most of my homework. I managed to write atleast 10 pages of my feature today after cutting a major chunk out of it for revision. The teachers advised to do that in story editing but i thought. "Why should I wait tell then when i already know what needs to be changed." So yea i got that down. I need a new port short idea but I will write some stuff down and magicly create soemthing out of the blue. And my other port short needs a little tweeking then it will be worthy of workshopping. I'm proud of my Sketch for next week, Especially after watching a ton of sketch a couple minutes ago I came to realize that alot of sketch(Even from the funniest of comedians) is really shitty and drawn out. As for what I wrote the other day, its funny from the first line. But we shall see about how it does. Documentary will be sort of a gong show tommorow since my one pager needed to be 2 pages but the teacher never really stated as to what needs to go on both pages, I made it one page simply because all the one pagers i read were of the finished product, i made mine a synopsis of what has yet to happen in the story but simply of what the story is trying to prove. But I have a feeling its not going to be what was specified, but I could care less about documentary, since its not really my cup of tea.
-I got a new comforter for the upcoming winter. Its comfy and warm, so far its proven to be a wise purchase(Only costed 20$!)
-I'm hoping that the 32's show up for our little class mingle tommorow since I would really like to meet some of them outside of school, since at times it seems pedestrian since everyone tends to keep to there own classes. And some of the students look interesting, and i'm always down for networking.
-I started playing WoW again. I find this to be a positive because now i wont go outside as often and spend money on shit I don't need and isntead I will interact with some old friends from back home. Sure WoW is pretty pathetic, but its an icnredible time waster. And you kind of have something to brag about if you play it long enough. You have stories that only another WoWer would understand, and because of this you will have hours of covnersation. Although it will be incredibly nerdy.
-I got a library card today, I found the library's stash of movies and rented some decent names that I will get to cross off my movie lsit in the upcoming week. They include-Back To the future 2, and One flew over the cukus nest. I also got indiana jones and the temple of doom, the boondocks season 1, and Chris farley Best of SNL.
-I'm starting to get mroe familiar with what to cook to stay healthy, although I can feel that I need to improve my health I think i'm starting to get on track with how to fulfill that goal. Infact last week i cooked several actual meals! Plain Burgers(Just how i like them) and boiled vegatables. I have some tacos set up, which I always like to expand into two meals. and I have plenty of other meal ideas in the making. One of which i look forward to making is fried garlic potatoes. The oens granny used to make were epic.
So yea, things I need to sort out-Money stuff(Lottery? Sell my bike maybe?)-Xbox issues(Pray it works?) Housing Issues(Which might not be so difficult after a quick search on craiglist.) and my diet, which will take awhile to get ussed to since ive been living off fast food since i graduated.

Detroit Rock City!
Detroit Rock City(1999) Its rating on IMDB is 6.4/10. I rated it a 10. Here is why.
First off this movie was my first movie that i actually watched twice in a night. It was in 2000ish and I was at my dads house, it was so fun that it deserved to go back in the vcr. I bought it in 05, ive watched it on dvd about 30 times. Each time I love it more and more. Here is why
-Its a really original idea, and very well written. The character are all incredibly memorable. The archs of everyone is well pulled off. The music is amazing. The satire references are awesome(It battles high school, Disco, religious fanatics,and douchebags and them getting what they deserve..) The ending is also amazing, the relationships are amuzing but they do the job. The cameos are pretty rad now that i'm older and I can recognize the stars. The acting is pretty decent. The pacing is great, the comedy is well timed. The structure is easily visable(Call to adventure-getting tickets for the show-end of act 1 they get on the road-all is lost point-Everyone pretty much gets what they needed, but the climax they get there tickets. And go to the show. Resolution- they go to the show, jam catches a drum stick everyone is all hyped and such.)
I don't know why this movie has such a low rating, I have yet to find a person who disliked it.

Constant ideas
I had this idea kicking around since I worked in a grocery store called Saveon Foods. While working in this grocery store I met a guy name charlie who had alot of similiar interests as me. He was a pretty cool guy to bounce movies off of. But one day I realized he had alot of intelligence about the army. I told him he should join the army but he said he was to overweight. And a too lazy. So i came up with this story, as him asthe protagonist. In this story I realized I could legally film the entire thing with nothing but my friends as cast members as me as a director/writer. The only thing we would need is some simple equipment. Here is my synopsis in a nutshell.
Charlie is a 23 year old going no were with life. He works in a grocery store and his father is forcing him to join the army. But he has a indifference about the army, and his father altogether. But he has been wondering through life with no goals up until this night that changes it all.
Charlie is working with his best friend Evan who is a womanizer. Evan tells him about a party at Shauns house tonight and he should go. And that he should ask out Jennifer to a rela date. So charlie does ask Jennifer out to a supper and movie, Jennifer is excited, they plan to go at 8. Well Charlie gets home to find out that his father has found out thar he hasn't even submited his application into the army. His father threatens to kick him out by the end of the week unless he applies. Charlie says he will think about it. His father gets pissed and forces him on the laptop to do it, Charlie gets pissed off and leaves on foot. He walks along the train tracks when Ken coems out and tells him to fuck off, Ken being a friend of his who does graffiti on the trian is chilling on a hill so Charlie goes and hangs with him. Charlie explains his situition, Ken replies with some philosophical message about His own mentality on the world, which is pretty laid back and care free. Ken is drinking a bit and decided to go down to the train tracks to paint a train when he slips and smashes his hand on a glass bottle. Charlie rushes him to the hopsital for stiches in Kens truck. After the operation Charlie looks at his watch to see its 9:30 and realizes he missed the date with Jennifer, He freaks out and steals Kens truck and forces him to walk back to the tracks were he will meet him later, the tracks are 4 kilometers away(What a dick..) Charlie goes to the theatre to see that Jennifer isn't there. He goes to her house and she rips on him for being pathetic and a lonely loser. He Tries to defend himself, But jennifer shuts the door on him. Charlie goes back to the track to see Evan and Ken sitting by the tracks. Charlie apoligizes for stealing his car, he says he was dumped with a girl he wasnt even dating, shit sucked. Ken forgives him, says they should head off to Shauns house for that party. Maybe jennifer will be there. Before they leave Ken runs into the trian yard as a new line is being pulled in and manages to get Evan and cahrlie involved while they paint the train. Unfortunatly they get rolled on by some motorcross bikers but Ken starts liping them off. They begin to leave when Charlie pushes the lippyness to far and the Bikers get offended and go back and try to fight Charlie. Ken defends him but he gets punched out. Then lights come on and they all ditch the train yard. They all get away to a long bridge that is close to Shauns house. They discuss how some guy they went to high school with jumped off the bridge because he wasn't getting anywere with life. They discuss how next year Ken is moving out to go to school in south eastern canada. Evan is going to take a masters degree in chemistry in the fall in edmonton. Yet charlie wiill continue with the confused life he has. Evan and Ken tell him not to jump off a bridge now. They get to the party to find the place packed. Evan is hittin on some chicks while at the party, Ken is sittin with some people drinknig and telling stories, and Charlie is talking to shaun about fall, which Shaun willl be moving out to edmonton and then start touring. Charlie says he will be doing very little in the fall. Charlie begins to drink more and more, getting more and more subtly drunk until Jennifer shows up at the party, Charlie tries to hit on her, she trys to elave, Ken trys to stop him along with evan. Charlie gets pissed and finally vents his built up anger about the his entire life on both Ken and Evan. They are both trying to restrain him, but Evan gets a broken nose, and Ken gets hit into a table and breaks it. Shaun tries to restrain Charlie, but he gets pissed and leaves. Jennifer leaves, disappointed in Charlie. Charlie walks back tot he bridge, the sun is rising. He has some bruises and is starting to throw up on the bridge. puking over the top of it. He Trys to climb over the railing of the bridgeto kill himself, but he chickens out. And gets another phone call from his dad(He recieved several phone calls from him during the night.) This Phone call is in retalition to a phone call he recieved from his dad during the party were he just fucking ripped on his dad for forcing him into the army. His dad now tells him to move out. Charlie gets pissed and decided to walk to his house. He shows up and then he fucking blows his anger out on him. Breaking shit, and he ends up kicking his dad in the balls. Charlie then takes his laptop and leaves towards to Evans house to apoligize. He finds Evan and Ken looking over the train yard together talking about there hopsital visit, Evan has a broken nose. Charlie apoligizes, to both of them. They understand as he had to vent his anger somehow, although his method was questionable. Charlie then tells them he is going to leave town, place hasnt brought anything of interest. Ken says he mgiht aswell leave, he has workers comp. Aparently he works as a security guard for the train yard, everyone is shocked. Evan says he is quiting the grocery store since he will be at school in a month and his nose is broken. Charlie thanks them, they leave, Charlie calls in to work saying he quits. He also phones jen, a phone call says he will see her again someday. And he is sorry for being a pussy and such.

Bike Ride
I went on a bike ride yesterday and I witnessed some things that I both HATE, LOVE and QUESTIONS THE MORALES OF SOCIETY.
-HATE-It took me 3 stops and 20 minutes to adjust my U bar bike lock in order for it to stop hiting my leg while pedaling. Fixed it by putting the straight bar BEHIND my seat.
HATE- I seen way too many tourists who need to learn how to use the bike paths. Please don't walk in the bike path. They have a walking path. Also don't pedal slowly side by side and wonder all voer the path. If you're a slow fuck keep to the right so us speed freaks can keep our momentum.
LOVE-I was behind this incredibly atractive brunette rollerblader for the longest time. She looked like Zooey Deschendal(sp?) who I have always loved. And well yea, she had everything.
LOVE-I think i seen Matthew McConaughey. He was hitting surrounded by this group of stupidly sexy women in bikinis. He was being his regular douchebag self...
HATE-While biking up the hill to my house I was nearly hit by some arrogant Asian guy in some Cliche BMW. Guy hit my back wheel and drove off.
QUESTIONS OF MORALITY-Seen what looked like a tortured squirrel tied to a tree.
QUESTIONS-A passed by a benched covered in broken beer bottles. But there wasn't any broken fragments on the ground or anywere else.
HATE-I Stopped halfway to adjust my bike lock. While stopped a tourist bus stopped by and i was briefed about a statue of a woman on a rock in the ocean and the fact that although it looks vaguely similiar to a MERMAID it is actually woman in a classic bathing suit and scuba flippers on her feet. But after the bus left a dozen or so tourists walked by and kept calling it a mermaid. This only pissed me off because I was just told atleast 3 times by the tourist bus that it was clearly not a mermaid. Although these other tourists did not hear this, I did. And well, yea, don't really know why I hated that.
QUESTIONS-I drove over a condom directly under the lions gate bridge. It stuck to my tire and I had to fling it off with a stick. Did it come from the bridge? Or from udnerneath it? Both those areas are odd for sexual intercourse.
LOVE-Seen a racoon, a Skunk, and a Squirel fight.
LOVE-2 senior Asians fishing under the bridge. They had matching hats and sat on those lobster catcher things. It looked so incredibly Asian. Clearly you will not see that anywere else in canada.
-HATE-It took me 3 stops and 20 minutes to adjust my U bar bike lock in order for it to stop hiting my leg while pedaling. Fixed it by putting the straight bar BEHIND my seat.
HATE- I seen way too many tourists who need to learn how to use the bike paths. Please don't walk in the bike path. They have a walking path. Also don't pedal slowly side by side and wonder all voer the path. If you're a slow fuck keep to the right so us speed freaks can keep our momentum.
LOVE-I was behind this incredibly atractive brunette rollerblader for the longest time. She looked like Zooey Deschendal(sp?) who I have always loved. And well yea, she had everything.
LOVE-I think i seen Matthew McConaughey. He was hitting surrounded by this group of stupidly sexy women in bikinis. He was being his regular douchebag self...
HATE-While biking up the hill to my house I was nearly hit by some arrogant Asian guy in some Cliche BMW. Guy hit my back wheel and drove off.

Awesome household
If i were ever to make it as anything this is what I would splurged my possibly hard earned money on.
Travel tell im 25(6 years away)
Then buy house overlooking some kind of neat city
chill there
Buy redicilous shit to put in house.
Like-Ice Cream Bar
Industrial Deep Fryer
Have a room with various trading cards stapled to the drywall then laminated as wallpaper.
Have a 70' plymouth barricuda, Some kind of SUV for traveling, And maybe one of those new luxurious hyundais.
Have a bar with Guiness and Newcastle on tap.
Have 2 cats and a golden retriever to roam the yard.
Pool with diving board.
A glass floor above the pool.
Have a walk in fridge with nothing in it...
Have a room dedicated to dvds/blu-rays/video games ETC
Have a mini yet full sized city somewere in the house. And get those little RC cars race through the city.
Have some kind of Crazy aquarium that stretches across the house using tubes. Each tube will hold a different variety of fish and it will be closed off from the next.
Total will be like 7 million for this combo...Go Go Universal Studios!

Rewrites
35+47+55= 137...+19+18=174. 174 pages of reading in the next 12 hours. I doubt I'll read half of the Tv Specs due to their length and my disinterest in the position they sat in last time. And so far I have almost completed both the treatments. I realized that I'm a really ruthless basterd when it coems to workshopping. I practically rewrote Heathers to the point where it made logical sense and sounded alot more enjoyable. She had the elements for it, but it was not well placed.
But anways, I will only read one of these tv specs out of the 3. Then I won't have homework for a good 2 weeks. WOOT!

Movie Weekend
Yesterday i watched Unbreakable, Amores porres, and big fish. Today I watched The good the bad and the ugly. And soon I will start reservoir dogs.
Tommorow is Disctrict 9, and City of god.
Amores Porres-Its a pretty strong movie, half way through i was confused by everything then i spelled out the story's in my head and realized how all these people are related. God damn mexicans and their dogs, always ruinin their lives.
Unbreakable-I watched half of it yesterday and the rest today. It was definetly a good way to watch it. I was confused as to who the bad guy was until the end and i was fucking blown away. I liked how Shamylyn(sp) did all the suspenseful shots, especially the swimming pool one, fucking thrilllller.
Big Fish-Fuck this movie, gave me that special feeling in my stomach that only a touching movie like this could deliver.
Good Bad Ugly-It's a long ass movie, but wow, the last 30 minutes is awesome. Along with everything else. But these days I can't sit through an entire movie without pausing it for 15 minute breaks and such. The desert scene was pretty cool, Eastwood looked like a zombie.
Reservoir dogs should be fun, and inspiring. District 9 aswell since I have a similiar story in the making. And city of God I hope will be as good as it's hype.

Loosing hair.
Ive started to realize an abundance of hair is falling out of my head. I think this is the stress that living on such a tight budget brings, and the anger that school comes with. I'm in no doubt going to need a job really quick, I have 1300$ for the next 2 and a half months. I'm not to pleased on those numbers, but once all the school kids go back to school in september i'm sure some decent jobs in my area will open up, hopefully one by the rogers video store, since I'm a perfect fit for the job.
School is getting tough, i'm not worried about any of MY work. But these days ive started to learn to much about movies, ive had classes were we analyse every fucknig thing to the point and its meaning. And frankly I don't think the audience really cares about analysing the movie, its pure entertainment for them. I know that i need to know this as a writer, but i think its essential to know that every scene must have a purpose or else it it is not nessasary. I watched Pulp Fiction today, and the analzing of it gave me a fucking headache. "Whats the reasoning behind the two atalking about the cheeseburgers in the begining?" Its to build character, why the fuck would anyone care, its entertaining and it shows the character of these two and how they view things. When i watch a movie i take this in with realizing it. But when i force it out of me to realize it, it really fucking ruins movies for me.
I watched Batman Begins yesterday...It has alot of cheeseyness and unbelievability, even for a comic book movie. Before going to school I would have never noted everything I know hate about. So school ruined watching movies for me...:( Maybe I will get that back when i see something of my own getting out to the big screen. I believe i can pull it off with some discipline and some incredible dedication. I mean..it cant be too hard to get into the business with all these shitty movies being made these days. Just need an idea that can atract an audience and is somewhat original.

broken arm
In repsonse too a thread on some website about the most painful experience evar.
I was snowboardin in Jasper back in 06. I was at the top of the hill and i was trying to stop before i went down this stupidly steep run. I tried sitting down but i fell hard backwards and bent my wrist awkwardly. The surge of pain was incredible. I thought it would go away, but 30 minutes later, still on that hill, the pain was still there. So I decided to go down to the bottom to find my family. I reached the bottom and finally found my brother. He didnt fucking beleive me, we decided to consider it sprained and continue our day of boarding. So i go up the lift, i was sitting in the middle, my brother on my left, and some retarded american skiier beside me. Well we get to the top and this retards ski's go right over my board and makes me fall down..i landed awkwardly again on my arm and holy fuck. I wanted to kill that bitch. But she apoligized, was all nice and a rather good looking idiot. So i sat down for awhile. Brother went down the hill first, I lost him...I was down at the bottom of the run were all the runs meet by the chairlift, and this fucking idiot is sitting in the middle of the run. I was back carving looking out for my brother and i smacked her board..AGAIN landing on my arm, holy fuck pain again. Im sobbing, shit hurts..so i finally get to the bottom, but before i did i decided to have atleast a little fun before i finally give up boarding for the winter. And JESUS FUCK, i was doing some trail run, and i hit a patch of ice, i tried stopping but i ended up hitting a little lump and getting some air. Again landing on my arm. Wow, just fucking wow. i got my senses and walked the rest of the way(a kilometer unitl i got to the clubhouse.)
once at the clubhouse i was treated, my brother finally found me. The ski patrol made a sling out of cardboard. They told me they could not take me off the hill until they found my parents. They paged them for nearly 4 fucking hours, my brother was off looking for them, I was sitting in some little shed watching all these idiots come in who decided to be awesome and go down double black diamonds on there first try skiing and ended up hitting someone..
Anyways, 6 p.m came, found out my parents ditched the hill..I was fucking pissed, hairline fracture in the arm. Those falls amplified the pain soo god damn much. I waited 3 hours at the hospital, pissed at my mom.
Now thta i think of it, I could make a teenage angst movie out of this little adventure..It has a perfect 3 act structure...Life stories make the easiest movie storylines.

Not a fan
Im not in interest in taking my time to help you with your work when you don't help you with mine. If you're not gonig to take this writing class serious and not show up for half the classes then you must ask yourself...Why am I here? I thought i could be a writer, but social life has distracted me. Ive learned to live without a social life, it's because i'm a writer. Solidarity is what makes alot of writers successful. If you have shit to do then fucking do it.
I'm not gonna explain who this is addressed at. Because its for many people. If you go to an art school you better be prepared to take it seriously, because its really gonna be embaressing saying"I failed art school because I didn't show up...." Then yea, you shouldn't have came. I can see some people are having trouble working out there ideas, and some aren't even working them out tell the last 40 minutes. You payed a fuckload for this class, if its because you think you're already good to go then go do what that dink Cristobal did. If you don't have the time of day for fulltime school then you might need to consider your options.
In relfection to Kevin's open letter.

Writing today
I finished off my second tv spec script for SpongeBob. I had little intent on making it awesome, but the ending came naturally and I think its a pretty funny little story. The first one I worked on for maybe 4 hours. This one took around the same time accumulated, altthough the first I did in one sitting. this one took 3. They still need alot of workshopping with someone who is actually familiar with the show.
But on a different note i dusted off an old short story thta I had once planned to make into a 20 page short story. Its an alien invasion story with a deep theme about belonging. I started the outline today, and i heavily changed it form the original story which i only finished 5 pages of almost a year ago. But I have high hopes for this since it seems to be a fresh idea that ive never seen personally. Although it's starting to look like what "The Road"(Ive yet to read the book) might look like. But this is alot more about getting back at the aliens, as the road was simply surviving, and had no relations with aliens.

13 year olds parents win the lottery but die sghortly after..all the money goes to the son. The son buys a missile silo, shortly after buying it a real estate agent finds it, realizes that the land has alot of potential for surbuan landscape and trys to offer to buy it off the kid. Kid disagrees, and declares war on this guy. Kid gets army together by hiring military acedemy folks..buying antiwue military equipment, and attempting to esperate fromt he united states..after he gets denied and the neighboring cities mayor gets suspiciouc of all the kdis military buildup..when the mayor aproaches the kid the kid gets uber hitler pissed and throws him out of the fortess..The mayor warns the forces after a building blows up in the city and the kid is suspected..so the military march on the quatres..defeat kid after he realizes his military equipment doesnt work...
In a town built in the bottom of a deep valley lays a massive vault that seals off the ultimate army created over 8000 years ago by a sorcerer woh was defeated by 4 brave heros. But in order for the heros to kill the sorcerer they had to freeze themselves along with the sorcerer in the vault. But a follower of the sorcerer has conjured a group of explosive demolitionists and thye destroy part of the valley above the city protecting this Vault. 4 old sages filter there powers to protect the vault from being destroyed. But when the valley fell onto the cithy they were killed, but only a portion of the vault could be open, and the 4 heros got out and started fuckin up this guys army. But also this bad dude has an rogue assasin chasing after him after the baddy ditched paying him a bounty. Unfortuantly on there way to try and kill the baddy the 4 heros forgot about the vault and the demolitionists destroy it and unleash hell on the city.. And unleashing the sorcerer..The sorcere fucks shit up..killing one of the heros..The king of the city demands that they imprison the sorcerer before they get released onto the rest of the world..They try to do so..but the baddy who released them has a device that keeps the sorcerer mafic proof or some shit. But the assasin ends up killing the baddy..and the sorcerer and the 3 imprison the crew again.
I wrote these on some forum filled with a bunch of retards. But I find it helps me write these vague synopsises. I didn't bother to correct the terrible grammar, or fix things up. But I could care less because as lnog its written down somewere thne maybe some day i could refer back to this blog to fix up or expand on these ideas.

But the assasin ends up killing the baddy..and the sorcerer and the 3 imprison the crew again.
I wrote these on some forum filled with a bunch of retards. But I find it helps me write these vague synopsises. I didn't bother to correct the terrible grammar, or fix things up. But I could care less because as lnog its written down somewere thne maybe some day i could refer back to this blog to fix up or expand on these ideas.
Failed post.
I worked long and hard(7 minutes) writing this up on 4chan only to get the fucking, "Field to long" message. I didn't want to find the thread so i dedcided to throw what i wrote on here.

Writing about Graffiti
I have a movie treatment due monday, and frankly I'm not even done the beatsheet for it. I know the story, and vaguely how it ends. But I need set pieces for it that involving graffiti, and hatred against generally anything. I thought this was going to be simple. But its GODLY difficult to be original and have these tasks of vandalism make sense and adapt to the plot. So i tried to get assistance from some website called...well its called 4chan. I frequent /r9k/ which is sort of like an advice/would you do, type of forum. Thinking this would be a good place for some socialites to express how thye feel about the world, and about BANKSY artwork(The movie is kind of like banksy, meets fight club....) K, lets rreact this situition...
OP
Hi RobotsI'm currently writing a screenplay and i need some set pieces. The synopsis is:Two psuedo anonymous graffiti artists discover they have a cult following, the two artists decide to train and use the cult following to lash out at everything that is wrong with the world, they dot his through acts of graffiti and such...But anyways, i'm coming to ask you robots for ideas on what i could use to achieve some great visuals and some strong plot points. I have some set pieces:The two break into a mall, one of them cuts the ears off of the mickey that makes up the doorway to the disney store, he sculpts it to look like devil horns. The other breaks into a mcdonalds and exchanges the paper bags with customly made bags that feature animals being tortured and eaten by families while company fat cats dance around them.Another few is the group gather up homeless people and let them loose in an upstate suburban nieghborhood, the homeless cause constant BnE's. They also wheatpaste roller several anarchist cook book recipes around the city(Ideas??)The movie im seeing is what Fight Club, Banksy, And a real underground graffiti movie would look like if they were to ever combo.
Answers....
Never come to 4chan looking for support for your shitty, shitty ideas.Seriously, your synopsis is like "Middle-Class White Angst: The Movie".
Hey guys I'm edgy right, I have these really cool anti-establishment ideas that are really original and stuff omg.
THERE IS NO CONFLICT. IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF PEOPLE TRYING TO BE COOL BY MAKING A SUBCULTURE.This is Fight Club without the plot twist that made it interesting. Fail more.
4chan: we will always find a way to ignore what you want and make you feel bad instead.cheer up OP, your movie is still better than 80% of the crap showing in cinemas right now.
You need to flesh it out with the following:1) A romance angle - sorry, but it has to be done.2) A crux. I'm thinking that they become obsessed with the popularity and get mentioned on FOX news.3) I call this the 'peter parker problem' - they have to continue this cult without their families finding out.4) There's a major falling out between the protagonists.5) They plot to pull the biggest graffiti prank in history.6) The film ends as they are both arrested.Forget any Fight Club notions; you original concept is great and really jumped out. But instead of being edgy or clever, just take a good, simple idea and tell it well.
The last one i responded with this...
fuck..i have all this.. IM TRYING TO FIND OUT SET PIECES NOT PLOT POINTS!Not if the movie is sellable, not its target audience. I have a 4 page beatsheet with the storyline, but i have these "Random acts of graffiti" that need to be fleshed out. And they aren't teenagers..There both 26, thye run a logo and shirt design company...Im not gonna go on with the entire story because thats not what I need help with.
The only response i got that answered my fucking question was this..
I'm as made as hell and i'm not going to take it anymore! Written in big black bold letters on a bunch of high society shopping places..
Fuck the internet. Im going to go for a massive walk throughout downtown on the weekend, and write down everything i hate about society.

Last Night
Last night FRIDAY THE 17TH was probably the most random set of events to follow one another in one night. Here is how it went.
after school i decided to take advantage of the nice sunny day and go on a biking trip by mself(Because i'm a lonely loser). I went on the skytrain and ended up in royal oak, which is in burnaby. The nice thing about this bike ride is that its a rather long trek through suburban vancouver Soemthing that I have yet to fully see. And the fun part is its all downhill towards home(Downtown). So half way back home i stopped for a minor break and i texted Malte to see whats going down tonight, he tells me that everyone is at Malones. So i headed towards there. For about 10 kilometers it only took 20 minutes. So props to that.
So i get there, lock my bike to a tree, and get drinkin! After a few i started texting this girl i recently met through a friend and was supposed to meet for the first time that day. But she ditched and such. So i asked her a bunch of drunken text questions, and she answered truthfully. Oddly i thought it would destroy such a friendship but naw, she turned out to be cool with it. The next morning when i came to realize what i wrote I was rather amazed that she would ever even talk to me. But anyways the writing team started to disperse from Malones. As the night came near i also needed to get back home before my bike gets jacked(Reference to the next part.) I drove drunk back home. Which was fucking intense! I was dodgin traffic going incredibly faster then normal and I was all over the place in a good way!
So i get back home. i drink two more beers and i get this idea. So i gathereda shitload of paint and biked down to the main street skytrain station. It took awhile but i managed to lock my bike, and both tires up to my Ubar lock in a rather sketchy part of town. I took the skytrain down to the pristine SRY freight train yard in new west minister. This train yard is famous for its decent amount of paintable freights...but the bad part is the stupid thorn bushes! And i was wearing shorts! Well i painted two autoracks(Traincars that carry cars..) and then i got back on the skytrain back to downtown to hopefully see my bike again. I was seated behind these two decent looking girls who i could vaguelly hear listening to Moneen. I was going to get into conversation with them, but i was too much of a pussy and it seemed creepy at the time.
So i get back to main street, and to my surpise...The bike is still there! woot FTW! So im all happy and jolly, and i go to the downtown freight yard to paint this gorgeous CSX Boxcar sitting in this vacant yard. I don't think many people go to this yard due to the fact that they think its prolly heavily guarded, but it was just as peaceful as Grande prairie. But i should keep to consideration that i was still drunk at the time. So i did a piece on that. The bike home was extremely tiring, i stopped atleast 4 times. But i got home, slept, then woke up to see that my leg wounds from the thorn bushes bled out all over my bedsheets and all the trains left the spots before i could flick them. But god damn, i love those type of nights(Except for the texting nonsense.)

Internet usage has got me thinking.
I sat on my laptop the entire weekend and managed to do next to nothing in terms of progress in life. So, in order to assure that I can successfully live with out internet I will be gonig without it until next sunday. I will only check my emails in order to not fail at workshopping. I'll post sunday at this exact same time in order to put onto paper as to what i can accomplish in a weeks time without this fucking wasted energy caused by Facebooking and 4chan surfing.
See you in a week blog.

Video games
I will admit i'm an avid gamer. I go through alot of phases of constant video game playing. Here is a timeline.
1998-I was really in to the first tony hawk and the original Need For Speed games. Also sim city and an old school game called Interstate 76(I'm thinking of writing a movie storyline for this game because its subject mattter is so badass..)
2000-We recieved a dreamcast. I played sonic 2 and crazy taxi religiously. I dearly miss sonic 2:( Was such an amazing game. I also played cruisin the usa(The n64 arcade racing game?) a fuckload.
2003-Brother bought an xbox. Meanwhile i started palying Diablo 2 due to pear pressure. I'd always play Amazons and sorcerers because of the funn thta could be had with ice attacks. I also played a fusion frenzy demo alot..It was mostly this one mini game were you had to avoid certain objects while running up corkscrew, but the corkscrew span faster and if you hit the objects then you would be brought down the corkscrew and if you fell into the water below then you were fucked. It was such an addicting mini game. I also recieved a gamecube and became addicted to Mariokart(Although i never owned it:( )I also played the original zelda games a fuckload when thye had them all on one disk thta came with the gamecube. I also beat Need for speed udnerground atleast 4 times. I bought it recently but it doesn't work on the Xbox 360:(
2005-I got more into computer games when i moved away from Regina. I played Sim city 4 wayy to much. I also played: Age of empire, rollercoaster tycoon, and the sims, Also I discovered the awesomenessity of GTA. I have spent atleast 200 hours fucking around with no itnent on progression in both vice city and San andreas.(I recently downloaded san an for my xbox 360 to rekindle my amazement with the game)
2007-I started playing World of Warcraft due to pear pressure. I gave up after the first 3 months thne got back into it once the expac was released. I have an 80 hunter and a 70 dk and a stupid amount of alts thta never made it past 35. I have collectively amounted 55 days of playing time with all my characters(45 on my main..fucking grand prairie and its long boring winters.) I also bought an Xbox 360 to play halo 3. But i quickly grew out of it due to live connection issues.
2008-I bought GTA 4 the day it came out and played it non stop tell I got to the second island. But I have yet to do a single mission since reaching it. I also got back into Sim city 4 due to my fascination with maps(I'm a nerd..) I also had a really bad addiction to nhl 2008. I won the cup 2 years in a row with Boston. I'm currently trying it again. My team got to the finals last year after being 2 points form not making the playoffs..I had zero dynasty players(Best player was marc savard woh had like..80 points in the regular season.) I made alot of changes this season(Added steve sullivun(Sp?), Mike comrie, Andre mesjaroz(Fucking names..), Jose theodore,Niklas Backstrom, and todd bertuzzi to replace the retired glen murray.)Oddly this season I'm currently 25/3/0. I simulate every game because playing it gets boring after awhile. But i manage the lines and the practices schedules in order to assure the best possible outcomes for gameplay.
