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.
