My little spider buddy

today i was at work and i delivered to a house in kerrisdale for a client called Babylicious. I knocked on the door, and while I waited I looked around the door at the terrible paint job done to it and noticed a holy shit huge spider in the corner of the entrance. I was very frightened by this behemoth, So I knocked on the door and stood as far away from the spider as possible. Miss babylicious didnt answer so I put the items in the backyard and came back to the front door to put the invoice in the mailbox. While reaching in my pocket for a pen I realized I had a large ziplock bag that I had for a bunch of change that I brought to the bank earlier(27.50$ in pennies and dimes returned ahhh yea). So i took the ziplock bag and carefully knocked the spider out of its web. It fell in the bag with ease and I locked that shit up and continued with my deliveries.

After my shift was done and I had shown all my coworkers my amazing trapping skills, I decided to take my new spider buddy home with me as a pet. I looked in the bag and he looked very sad. He tried spinning a web but the ziplock bag was too soft and his web was destroyed, so he rolled up in a ball and layed sombre. I poked him through the bag and seen that he still had some life in him so i knew he could still make the ride home. I brought him in my car and thought of what I could do with him.. I couldn't expect this poor feller to live in my room without having free roam. And if he had free roam, he would probably try and crawl down my mouth like every other spider in existance(according to magazine articles, the average person eats 3 spiders while they sleep a week). So I let the fat basterd go in the parking lot. But While I said my good byes and apoligized, he just sat there laying in a semi ball stance. He was giving me the silent treatment. Then It came to my mind that i took him away from his home, and his 600000 children and brought him all the way across town to an unknown land...

I feel kinda bad about it...

Prospecters Island(part1)

Shane Mcmiller is a 30 year old hunter and prospector living in the boom mining town of Barkerville during it's decline. After another failed day of trying to find gold in areas unexplored by others he goes to a tavern with his Labrador Carter. While at the tavern he hears of a mysterious island in the northern pacific that holds a massive gold deposit, but it's in such a desolate area that no one has gotten a hold of it, everyone who tries to get their die on the way or gets seriously injured by the waves. The guy who tells him this came up with his father on the first pack train to Barkerville. The older prospecter tells him how to get there, but again warns him that it's a death trap.

Shane and Carter ride down the fraser on a canoe to New West minister where they gear up and meet up with his fiance Jesse Racton. Shane tells Jesse where he is going and that he will be back in 2 months and they will get married wealthy instead of struggling to get by. Jesse wants to go with him but Shane doesn't want to put her in a dangerous situation as she is currently pregnant. Jesse finally convinces shane to take her with him. Together they set out for a 10 day canoe trip to the desolate island in the georgia strait. During the 10 day trip they never see a soul, the sea is also oddly calm. They catch fish to survive and sleep on the shore among the fjords. On the 10th day he finally sees what the island that the older prospector told him about. They get onto the island and Carter already gets away from them. Shane chases Carter deep into the island until they reach a very creepy ghost town, Jesse struggles to get the canoe ashore. In the town are 4 small cabins, a church and a general store, and an unfinished mining facility. all of them have been empty for about 20 odd years. shane inspects the general store, everything is still on the shelf and money from 1855 is in the register. He goes to the church and the spiders have taken it over. The cabins are all fully furnished but are covered in dust. Shane and Jesse decide to stay in one of the cabins for the night and search the island the next day. Carter keeps waking up and barking all through the night, shane is getting tired of it so he puts him outside on a leash. He continues to bark until shane finally comes outside in a heated rage. when he gets outside he sees the small town is engulfed with a very creepy fog. Carter whimpers then goes inside the house. While going a spooky silhouette walks through the fog.

The next day Shane and Jesse are woken up by some creaking in his cabin, Shane searches the place and doesn't find anything. Carter is crying in the corner. Shane finally gets Carter to come out and explore the island with him while Jesse cleans the cabin up. It starts to snow as Shane explores the fairly mountainous rainforest island. He inspects the rocks in the mountain and indeed they have plenty of gold in them. shane gets excited and rushes back to the cabin, he is stopped when he and Carter hear some mysterious rustling sounds in the trees. Shane dismisses the trees and rushes to jesse to tell her about the gold. Shane mines for the next 3 days and gets a large amount of gold while Jesse experiences paranormal activity in the house and tries to remain calm about it. After each instance Shane dismisses her and focuses on the gold. Jesse finally freaks out at Shane and he finally agrees to load of the gold on the boat and get off the island. They go to the ocean to see the tide has dropped substantially and there is no longer a shore for them to lift off from. There's 2 meter jagged cliffs on all ends of the island, and within those cliffs are gold. They go around the entire island until they find the remains of a half sunken steamship that is getting battered by the viscous sea. Realizing they might be stuck on the island Jesse and Shane go back to the village and witness a large amount of footsteps in the snow which creeps them out. They get back to the town freightened to witness the lights in the general store are on and that footprints are all through the town. They witness as a large pair of invisible boots sink into the deep snow and follow them as try try and get away. They run and hide near the edge of the island. From the distance they can hear the church bells ringing and sound of picks hitting rocks. They then hear whispers from the cliffs telling them to come to them. Jesse and Shane are freaking out at this point. Carter has been barking the entire time, the whispers tell them to shut the dog up or it will be killed. Shane yells at the whispering man, but the footprints in the snow near so the whispering man shoots Carter dead. Shane turns around to see the whispering man, who is an old slim man with a shotgun hiding behind a rock near the edge of the cliff. Shane yells at him and chases him. The old man jumps off the cliff and Shane comes to a halt when he gets there. He sees that there is a landing below and Shane follows.

shockingly, I will still not end this story... One of these days.

The upstairs

This script idea is based off my current living situations and problems with my living situation...

Logline:A young professional bonds with his elderly landlady as she is abused by her obese crackhead son.

Thomas is a recent graduate from an engineering course. He moves into a small two basement suite with an old friend to save money until he pays off his loan. The house is in a really good neighborhood close to where he will be working. Unfortunately the first night he has trouble sleeping as the landlady living upstairs and her son have very loud arguments which often sound violent. Thomas barely gets any sleep that night so he goes to work the next day and discusses the problem with his co worker Gary. Gary tells him to stay the hell away from it and drink some tea or take sleeping pills if it happens every night. a couple nights later the two upstairs start fighting again. Thomas already took some sleeping pills but they don't work, so Thomas goes to the kitchen and dials 99 but his roomate, Henry, a very silent loner pothead tells him not to. If he calls the cops, nothing is going to happen. She's going to say nothing is happening and the yelling was over the dishes or something mundane like that. It's best to stay out of it, or smoke a shitload of weed and enjoy it. Thomas tries to go to sleep but he fails to get a decent nights rest and shows up an hour late for work.

At work Thomas discusses with Gary is house issues. Thomas doesn't want to move and he's reluctant to get involved, but feels kind of sorry for the old lady because it seems she is getting abused by her son. Gary suggests that if he really want to be a white knight, then he should talk to her about it. So that day Thomas goes and asks what is up with all the screaming. She(Theresa) makes up excuses, which Thomas shoots down when he quotes things he over heard. she finally comes out and says she is having issues with her son. Thomas is reluctant to ask why but asks if they could keep the volume down as he needs to work early. That night they fight, and he believes it's over him. He again does not get a good night sleep. After a day where he ingested 4 cups of coffee he comes home and sees the loser son has parked his car like a fucking idiot and blocked both spots. Thomas goes to the door and talks to Theresa and again asks them to keep quiet. Theresa apologizes sympathetically, but when Thomas asks if her son can move his vehicle the son comes into the picture. The son(Roy) is an over weight 6 foot 3 asshole crackhead. He instantly tells Thomas to fuck off and mind his own business. Thomas is pretty pissed off from this whole situation so he yells at Thomas about the whole incident. Roy gets pissed and threatens to beat him up, Theresa manages to sustain Thomas and gets him to go to his basement suite and promises him the arguing will be minimal. That night everything is silent. The next day Thomas has a decent day at work and meets a young flag girl named Randia. He talks with Randia and they get along quite well. At the end of the day Thomas asks Randia out on a date sometime next week. Randia accepts. That night when Thomas gets home he meets Theresa and meets her elderly dog. Theresa and Thomas talk and get to know each other. They both came from similiar pasts, both grew up in London at some point, both moved to Canada because of Family, and both stayed because of they loved it here. They also enjoy movies and they setup a movie day later that day.

I'm tired so I'll finish this off later off. Just so you know, this is probably the 1st act turning point.

100th post

Thought of this idea after viewing a bunch of different natural hidden wonders in the world. Would be great to set the backdrop of this story in a mythical place similar to iceland.

-3 warriors with different motives set out to find a new land for their famine and war torn village on the other side of a hostile island territory.


Main star-He's Doing this to help save his village, he's slightly crippled from battle, but he's looked up upon by the lower class of the village. Played by some raw older actor. Sean Bean or Gary Oldman?

Second warrior-He's the kings son and he wants to claim the throne for his own, so he sets off on this journey so he can take all the glory for finding a new place to settle and rule the new town. He's a spoiled brat that has never seen battle so he's gonna have a tough time. Probably played a young guy, someone like guy pearce.

Third warrior-This dude is a spy from the hostile territory. He's been in the town for a couple of years and he's fought a lot of battles for the community, but he's that asshole who always tips off the enemies on the plans of the community. He would be played by some uknown but really crazy fucker.

The king would be played by an uknown or a really old actor like Geoffrey rush or something.

The Peaks

It's my dream to make a hockey film. It's rare to see a hockey feature film that's serious and true to the sport. I want to make that film. My original idea was to write a script about how the jets came back and became insignificant within a decade and struggle to keep the franchise only to have someone save it. Unfortunately, the jets are already back. so i'm going to create my own team.

The Seattle Peaks. Created around the same time as the thrashers. The first couple years were prosperous, but a very irresponsible general manager made a lot of really stupid moves and the team never really had a star except for one, their captain from the beginning until 2 years before this story starts. Jason Rawski.

Jason Rawski is a lot like Trevor Linden. He wasn't the best at the sport, but he had a lot of heart and gave it his all in every game. The general manager threw a lot of money towards old rusty stars to try and bring star power to the team, but similar to the ranger sydrome, the stars faded and died in Seattle. Rawski never registered more then 70 points and always had a minus rating. But he was the only player to stick with the team for more then 3 years(stuck with it for 7 years.) He never got along with the gm and owner Andrew Gilbrovski, because Andrew knew fuck all about sports but he had a shit ton of money and invested it in these fading stars. On his 7th season Rawski got hit from behind into the boards and broke his neck and suffered a concussion. He wasn't resigned that year and retired. He became a coach for a minor league team.

Andrew Gilbrovski created the team in 2000 because he loved hockey and wanted to see it thrive in Seattle. When he got the team he traded away the first 3 years worth of draft picks for a high scoring incredibly expensive winger named Johnathan Grilveau who ended up breaking a leg in the first season and never recovering. Gilbrovski sunk tons of money on terrible decisions, signing goalie Trevor Richter to a 8 year 70 million year deal after 2 incredibly meh seasons. Trevor Richter is still the goalie, now 34. Hasn't won more then 30 games in a season and he has issues with his foot. Gilbrovski lost more then 200 million on the team and finally sold it to Grilveau.

So here is where we start the film, Grilveau just bought the team which just had one of the worst seasons ever in NHL history(12-65-5) Unfortunatly they traded away their first round pick for Colin Waynes. A calder winning center who won 2 cups with two different teams but failed to connect with the Peaks because of his cockyness. Grilveau interviews a few gm's and hears their pitches to fix the team, all of which are financial based and have a lot to do with spending to the cap, which Grilveau isn't willing to do. They go to Rawski and he gives them a simple pitch, let him be the coach and manage the team. Rawski's first move is to gather a group of aggressive young forwards(Chris Neil, Sean Avery, Brian Boyle)and and an experienced shut down defenseman(Micheal Rosival). He then switches the team from a defensive minded team to an aggressive offensive team.

At the start of the season Rawski makes a lot of big changes, he takes away the captaincy from Colin Waynes and gives it to the second longest player on the team(Rich Peverly). Colin Waynes makes some big whiney scenes until he gets cheap shotted and complains about it and the entire team turns their backs on him. Waynes then requests a trade and Rawski puts him on the trading block, but no one wants him. Half way through the season Rawski sees an opportunity to win with one of his players in the minors, someone just as good lemeiux, in fact they are related. Gabriel Scarlast managed to bring his team(that rawski coached) to the memorial cup the year before. Scarlast gets drafted this next season so Rawski decides to make the team lose on purpose. He also gets word from a young star that played with the peaks with Rawski until Gillbrovski traded him for another crap star(Micheal Grabner). At the halfway point the team is 10th in their conferance and the playoffs could possibly happen, but Rawski wants this team to win in the longterm so he proposes to the team that they lose on purpose so they can get the first round pick in Scarlast.

The small amount of fans left get annoyed with the play, and Grilveau gets mad at the idea as he loses a shitload of money. The last place position becomes determined by the last game, which is against the 29th place team. The team loses in an epic and slightly comedic fashion and in the offseason they get Grabner and Scarlast. They don't sign Waynes, but nobody else does either because of his poor play and terrible scandles. Grilveau tells Rawski that if they don't get to the playoffs this year the team is gone, going to Kansas. Rawski promises to get the team to the finals, and so does his two new stars.

The year begins with a huge up, 12 wins in a row. Scarlast and Grabner both get 15 points each. But disaster strikes as Richter(the goalie) gets a career ending injury. The backup can't handle the pressure so they have to resort to a 42 year old goalie from the minors who played on the team in the first season named Cosev. Surprisingly he gets 2 shutouts in a row. The fans return and the team becomes a contender. But Grabner gets injured and the team begins to falter. Waynes goes unsigned until the middle of the season when he pleas to join the team again as he has thought about his ignorance and promises to change. Waynes gets signed again and the team goes on to get into the 7th position of the playoffs. But Grilveau sells the team to a different market anyway as he lost way to much money even with the new fan base, it's too little and too soon. The team is due to relocate unless the team sells out every playoff game until the end of the playoffs, and they need to atleast play 10 home games to break even.

Grabner gets better, and the team plays it risky and purposely gets 3 home games in the first round. Unfortunately, they play against the cup contenders the next round. The teams main defender gets in an altercation that causes some incredibly bad publicity and gives him a 12 game suspension. The team becomes down 3-0. but they play 3 really close games and win the last one in triple overtime.

They get to the conferance finals where they bring it to game 7 where the last game is won with a penalty shot goal by the opponents team. Grilveau sets out a plan to get the team to stay and Rawski wins the best coaching award.

Delivery

Been getting a few new ideas lately. Got this one today, I'm not sure if it can work very well as a film but I'm going to give it a shot with this blog post.

Jeremy is a 29 year old courier. He has a 14 year old daughter he had when he was a teenager and a wife that cheats on him. He lives on a ranch that is a 2 hour drive from where he normally lives(downtown) because it's cheaper and the safest place to raise his kid. For his work he drives a 1992 civic si with some slight modifications. He's worked as a courier since he was 18 with the same exact car. And the car is reaching it's ends. He takes it to the shop and the costs outweigh the price of the car to sell. So he ignores the repairs and ends up paying for it, the civic starts on fire in the middle of the street after he rear ended a porsche. The porsche starts on fire as well and the driver sues him for it.

After dealing with a court case and hiring a lawyer Jeremy returns to his home and his wife files for divorce and demands custody of their child. Jeremy didn't see this coming and discusses his entire situation with two of his courier friends, one drives a truck and one rides a bike. The cyclist suggests moving into the city and riding a bike from a to b, the van driver tells him to apply for his class 1 and become a truck driver. For the time being, Jeremy stays with his cyclist friend in his hipster den with his 3 hipster roomates. Hesitant to cope with the bicycle Jeremy takes the week off to get his kid back and figure out a new living situation. Unfortunately, his now ex wife is already dating a super rich guy who lives downtown and she gave him a high priced lawyer, while Jeremy uses his defence attorney from his car accident case. Obviously, his wife gets custody and Jeremy only gets to see her for the weekend. After that Jeremy goes to find a place to live with an extra room while having it close to the downtown area so he can continue work on a bicycle. But then jeremy confronts his cyclist friend that he cannot ride a bike, and some lulz happen when the cyclist teaches jeremy how to ride a bike. After getting the hang of it Jeremy starts to do deliveries and finds out that he cannot rent a house in his price range so he ends up living with a bunch of mexicans in the exact same building as his ex wife's boyfriend. His ex wife still stays at the house with the kid. After awhile Jeremy starts to realize he will never be in good amount of shape to cut it as a bike courier, so he decides to use his last remaining savings to get a class 1 license. Through a miraculous feat Jeremy gets a drunk recently divorced instructor for his test. Hilarity ensues and Jeremy passes his test. Jeremy hangs out with his daughter for the first time since the split. They discuss his antics and her antics and generally have a heart to heart and she tries to convince Jeremy to go in a different direction other then courier services, since they are making his life incredibly difficult. On his first shift as a truck driver Jeremy has to go through a dangerous mountain path and ends up rolling the truck into a ravine in a hilarious fashion. Obviously Jeremy loses his job and goes back to the courier service, he earned enough from his one shift as a truck driver to get a newish car for his old job. He ends up with what looks like an awesome sports car, but it ends up starting on fire during a test drive and the dealership tries to sue Jeremy but Jeremy wins the case, but loses his license and ends up kicked out of the Mexican apartment.

Jeremy ends up back at the cyclists house and stays the night. The next day Jeremy goes and blames his civic for letting him down. Jeremy finally gets frustrated and unleashes his fury on the vehicle. It then occurs to him that he should finally do what he loves and go to school to become a transportational engineer to make sure his problems are never met with other drivers ever again. He goes for the interview and goes through all of his issues with the transportation system and how he would change them. He gets accepted and goes for a night out with all of his buddies, he admits that it was foolish not to move on from the courier path he chose several years ago, and he gets his an agreeance with his lawyer to get his licence back, but he opts to bike instead. In the closing shot he bikes along with his daughter, although he's slow as shit and nearly dieing from exhaustion.

The end is a bit weak... But I'll further realize this as time goes by.

Traffic laws

I'm just gonna display some facts of the road that seem to be ignored in this city. This is more or less an angry rant...

PEDESTRIANS
-If you wish to cross a crosswalk stand at the curb and wait for the drivers to acknowledge you. And if you wish to cross, then don't stand 4 feet away from the curb and wait for traffic to acknowledge you. This confuses drivers and is generally quite annoying.
-If you are going to cross at an intersection with the flashing green lights then do not cross if the lights are red. This is more often then not the only time a driver will be able to exit that road. If it's all clear then you're good to go. But be courteous. Nothing more annoying then getting an opportunity to get out of the intersection but a slew of ignorant pedestrians block your path.
-If you are waiting for the light to change please do not stand in the street. Even if it's in the gutter you are still at risk of getting hit by vehicles.
-If you wish to jaywalk, don't assume that every lane of traffic will stop for you. Take caution and take into account that what you are doing is illegal and that if drivers get mad at you, they have a right to.
-If a car is trying to get out of an alleyway and onto a busy road where a parking lane obstructs their view then try and walk behind the vehicle if they block off your path. sure it's annoying having a car block the road, but in certain alleyway exits it's impossible to get out of the alleway safely without causing this blockage. In my opinion, this is acceptable as it needs to be done.

CYCLISTS
-If you wish to cycle in a driving lane then do a reasonable speed. If you're struggling to get up a hill and there is a bike lane next to you, use the bike lane. Also, if you wish to bike in traffic lanes then you must respect the basic rules of car traffic. That means you shouldn't be passing vehicles in the same lane as them. Or failing to use signals. Or traveling into oncoming traffic. Or running red lights or going through pedestrian cross walks while people walk in front of you.
-If you wish to cycle on the roads, please wear a helmet. It is incredibly traumatic to see the effects of a head injury caused by vehicles and cyclists meeting. Especially when it could have been prevented.
-If you bike at night on the roads please make sure your bicycle and yourself are visible to the rest of the people on the road. That means having reflectors on the front and back of your vehicle and preferably a light on the front and back as well. I've seen more then a dozen cyclists get mad because they were nearly hit by a car that could not see them because of their lack of lights.
-Do not ride on sidewalks if they are busy or you plan to go fast. This is one of the biggest durps of cycling.
-If you are riding along the curb and you come up to an intersection where cars are turning right, you should go on the left of those cars so they can safely turn without hitting you. Again this applies to the rules of traffic, where if you were treating your bike as a vehicle, you would not be legally able to pass that car in the same lane.

DRIVERS
-If you are making a left turn at a busy intersection where there is pedestrian traffic blocking your turn, don't turn into oncoming traffic and expect the pedestrians to move or wait until they have cleared. You become a sitting duck for oncoming traffic and are seen as an arrogant asshole from the pedestrians point of view.
-If you have just parked along a busy road, look out your mirror for traffic before swinging open your door.
-If you want to make a lane change or get out of a parrellel park, turn on your signal light. Even if there isn't room to make the lane change or time to get out of the spot this will let drivers know that you wish to exit or change lanes and if they are courteous driver they will let you in. Also, if you are getting out of a parellel parking spot and you do not have your signal light on then do not expect drivers to yield or give to shits about you. and if you have it on and you are not ready to leave, then shut that shit off.
-If you see people entering a vehicle in a parallel parking spot and you wish to take their space, do not wait behind them until they leave. You stall traffic, and you cause an inconvenience for the driver who now has to hurry up and get out of the spot to let your impatient ass in. If there is no spots, then keep on going until you see that signal light come on. and if the prick of a driver has that light on and isn't ready to get out of the spot, then honk at him until he shuts it off or gets out of the spot, since you are doing them a convenience by blocking traffic for them.
-If you are looking for a certain destination and are having troubles finding it, then pull over and find it on foot. If you stop at every block and have your eyes constantly on the sidewalk you have a very good chance of hitting something.
-In this city, and most major cities there are signs in some major intersections that have times setup where you cannot turn, or certain vehicles cannot go down certain roads. Obey these signs, as they are 100% properly labelled for the infrastructure of traffic to abide by.
-If you see a lane closure up ahead and you are in the lane that is open, don't change lanes and speed up to the end of the lane then get back in your old lane 3 cars ahead. If you do this, you are an asshole and you might be part of the cause of why some drivers are not very generous towards others.
-Respect buses and big trucks. big trucks are always going to be commercial vehicles and we all depend on them to get our goods and services to the places where they are sold. So be courteous if you see a bus trying to get into your lane, or a dump truck, or a moving van. As these vehicles have a disadvantage because they are bigger and much more difficult to drive then your econoshitbox. But if it's a motorhome, then they can fuck themselves for driving in an urban setting with such an impractical vehicle.
-Big rigs need large spaces to make sharp turns. So if you see a large truck turning and it needs you to move in order to safely turn, or your path is blocked because of this trucks turn, then be courteous and if you have the space, let them through. You have no idea how difficult it is to turn a big rig on a 2 lane grid road without hitting the curbs, and waiting for everything to be clear can sometimes be next to impossible.
-If you are towing something, make sure it's lights work before heading out on the highway... And make sure everything is SAFELY latched down.
-Don't speed in schoolzones while school in session. This is a pretty basic rule, yet it gets violated by almost everyone. young human beings don't have the understandings of us adults. They sometimes get carried away in their activities or they do not know how to judge the speeds of vehicles, or they like to fuck with drivers and run across the road while playing some crazy daredevil game....don't trust them.
-Slow down in construction zones as well. Sometimes the construction companies can only shut down so much space of the road, which leaves them very little room to work in. And they need to concentrate on their job before they concentrate on the traffic.
-If you are at a busy intersection and the light is red and you wish to turn right, do not pass the bold white line until pedestrian traffic is ENTIRELY gone. If you move up after the pedestrians beside you leave then you still have to wait for the ones coming from the other side of the road. These people probably deserve some of the biggest fuck you's from pedestrians, especially ones with strollers.
-If you are turning right at an intersection and there is an empty lane and you are driving a vehicle small enough to make that turn in that lane THEN GET IN THAT LANE. If you are still in the lane beside that lane or in the middle of both then you are an asshole and you deserve to be rear ended or your mirror ripped off.
-If you are driving down a busy grid road system where there is not a lot of turning lanes then it is fastest to stay in the middle lane and switch lanes one or two blocks from your destined turn. If you wish to stay in the right lane or the left lane and you switch lanes every time someone is turning then switch back into that lane and continue on for another 20 blocks... Then you're an asshole....
-If you do end up stuck behind one of these cars turning and you wish to change lanes make sure it's safe. Aggressive driving causes accidents, and if you're just gonna switch back into that lane to continue on then you're an asshole...
-If you are driving in a parking lot then follow the arrows. in almost every parking lot there is a one way direction built into the infrastructure of the parking lot. That means, it will work fluently if everyone obeys the one way rule. but if you disobey that and block the entire road or go down the wrong way, then you're an asshole.

Street racing idea

Did a quick beatsheet for this on 4chan. might as well keep it because it has potential. I'll edit it later for a inktip pitch.
-Teenaged gear head, works at a shop for a low wage, lives with mom and dad who both barely slip by, drives a shitty civic and he's too embarrassed to race it. He has some gearhead friends who don't race and are specifically enthusiasts and a girlfriend who he is having a baby with.
-Dad dies and teenager inherits dads weekend car(Insert somewhat expensive tuner here, NSX??)
-while cruising along one day he gets in a race with a gang member, teenager wins and the gang member asks if he races elsewhere. He then invites him to a race in a construction site.
-Teenager races and wins like a mutherfucker. Gang member almost pay up but cops interupt, everyone scatters.
-Next day teenager goes to gang member to see about the winnings, nearly gets his ass shot by other gang members, the one he races stops the violence and gives him the race and ask if he would like to work for their garage. Teenager accepts and starts working for their hardcore illegally owned and operated garage where they chop cars and rice out everything from crx's to bentley's.
-Teenager starts to ignore his new born baby, his friends, and his mom. Eventually ends up living with the gangsters. He continues to race and win like a champ, he gets a reputation for being an asshole driver so a rival gang racer starts to tail him after his work and while on the highway, purposely crashes into him and tells him to leave town.
-teenager gets scared and tells gangsters what happen, they light the rival gangster racers car on fire as payback.
-Teenager gets a new better tuner(gt-r?) But it's stolen. Teenager ends up getting pulled over and arrested.
-Teenager is given an ultimatum with police, be a rat or do time. Teenager decides to do time. Goes to jail for a year, girlfriend leaves him, friends abandon him, mother gives up on him.
-Once released he goes back to the gang to continue racing. He races like shit and blames it on the fact that he should lay low. The gangsters get suspicious that he might have ratted so they test him by driving with him into oncoming traffic. He says he doesn't wanna get caught again, but he doesn't wanna give up the street racing ways. The gangsters give him some time on the track and he gets progressively better. He then goes back to racing and wins.
-police break into his house again and confiscate his car and bargain with him and open his eyes that the gangster life isn't for him. He tells the cops to leave and that they don't have anything on him.
-The next day the teenager goes to his girlfriend and asks if he gave up everything would he take him back, she is unsure, but his friends tell him that it's the best idea to get out of the gangster world.
-That night he goes on a mission as a driver with the gangster leader, while on the mission the teenager finds out that he is going to get assassinated because of police suspicion and that he might be a rat. The teenager gets in a chase with the gangsters, in the end he kills the main gangster but gets shot himself.
-After all of the legal stuff is out of the way and the wound has healed the teenager goes back to being a grease monkey, driving his shitty honda and loving his wife and mother.

Low Level(characters)

I randomly started writing this script because I wanted to put a bunch of awesome long takes in one movie, so the first two scenes are like 3 pages long each and both feature epicnessity. I might aswell do a beat sheet or something because this seems like a really wacky and cool idea.

CHARACTERS
Tom Wilson-A modern samurai who also deals with explosives and is a talented driver. He prefers surviving off nature instead of living as part of society. He kidnapped Angelina after years of being in love with her, he is going to die to protect her. Tom used to be a body guard for Oniks, but he's turned sides.
ONIKS-This is the main bad guy, he's a ruthless not giving a fuck kingpin drug dealer. He's looking for Kevin who he was told kidnapped his daughter. If someone calls him by his first name he snaps. He was also taking advantage of his daughter for his own profit after she became a talented musician and artist.
Kevin-another of the bad guys. He was setup by Tom because he tried to rape Angelina when she was younger. Kevin is a drug grower with two adopted incredibly violent kids. He's an incredibly thin lazy hippy.
Angelina-A very talented artist and musician who wanted to get away from it all, she's loved Tom for a very long time and wants to live with him forever. Her father is very abusive to her and Kevin once tried to rape her but Tom saved him.
Xander Conners-Adopted son of Kevin. He's an ecentric trigger happy uber insane russian. He and his brother were both bodyguards with Tom. They took a massive amount of money to help Tom steal a painting from Oniks. He has a sweat spot for cats and he spends money like a rock star.
Sir Oliver-Brother of Xander and adopted son of Kevin. He's just as trigger happy as his brother but he prefers making his victims suffer instead of his brothers rash decisions. He's the brighter of the two, although they are both incredibly stupid and terrible destructive.

These are the main characters so far.. I'm tired so I'll leave it on that and contemplate this idea further. But the simple premise is that Oniks is on the desperate search for Sir Oliver and Xander who he was told kidnapped his daughter, but to find them he must find Kevin, after finding all of them together he kills Kevin then teams up with Xander and Sir Oliver to find Tom and kill him and save Angelina, but what Oniks is really after is an incredibly expensive painting she made.

-Oniks goes to a greasy hotel and tries to find out where Kevin is by asking his crackhead wife. The wife refuses to answer and oniks kills her and drives off.
-Tom and Angelina are settling into their new surroundings, a massive log cabin. Tom destroys all of the electronics and slices a large painting made by angelina. Tom guarantees her safety and tells her she can live without having to worry about her father or the world hassling her. She is happy to be an artist without boundaries.
-Xander and Oliver are crashing their vehicles on a farm. They clearly have a large amount of money and they aren't shy with spending it. Kevin is inside the house and he is having sex with a large amount of women, they're living the dream life.
-Oniks goes back to his mansion and rests. The next morning he packs up a suitcase and lights the house on fire. He goes to his accountants house, Travis. A somewhat honest banker who handles Oniks financial investments. Travis has a wife and kids who are currently away. Oniks explains the situation, that he sold a very valuable painting and the money along with the painting were stolen along with his daughter. Oniks has decided to claim the insurance on his house in order to make up the money. Travis settles him down and makes him realize that he will probably be investigated by the IRA because he doesn't do his taxes because he's a gangster. Oniks then goes on a rampage and ends up leaving the house in a fit of fury, but before he does he tells Travis to track down Kevin. Travis tells Oniks that he should try searching the streets, since Kevin is a pretty candid drug and prostitute client.
-Oniks goes to the street, he sees Kevin picking up a prostitute and tails him. But while tailing him Oniks is cut off by a women on her phone. Pissed off, Oniks kills the women and crashes into her car. Kevin gets spooked and runs away. Oniks freaks out and takes the dead women out of the car and beats her violently.
-Tom and Angelina discuss there future while picking vegetables from the garden. Eventually Angelina starts to realize that she does not have some of the liberties she once enjoyed, like seeing her friends, and letting the world seeing her paintings. But she continues to love Tom for his grace and wisdom and saving her from her tyrant father.
(TO BE CONTINUED) This is gettin pretty wacky I must say

Stick puck

I'm gonna put it on paper once and for all. And by paper i mean the internet.
Teams I cheer for(In order)
Rangers-Been a fan since I started paying attention to hockey in 99.
Jets-My dad's old favorite team. Really glad to have a prairie team
Canucks-Mostly because I live in Vancouver
Bruins-Bourque is one of my favourite players, same with Savard. Really upset he didn't get to hoist a cup.

Teams that I appreciate(In order of apreciation)
Carolina-I was a bandwagoner when they made that 02 cup run. Paid close attention to them since.
Toronto-an original 6 team that I think is making a comeback.
Montreal-A constant contender forever.
Edmonton-From edmonton, also a huge messier and hemsky fan.
Aneheim-They have a lot of power for a young hockey team. Definitely the best teams at scouting and drafting.
LA-They've been in the league for a long time and I think they have finally created a team capable of getting to the cup.
Sharks-Ever since that game last year where Boyle scored on his own net I've been watching them. i like Pavelski and I've always thought nabakov was overrated. I knew heatley or marleau was going to be gone after the playoffs. Havlat probably isn't the best replacement with his history of injuries.
St.Louis-I feel bad for the Blues. 40 some odd years and they have done fuck all. Had a lot of power when they won that president trophy. and the oates-hull line will forever be remembered.
Minesota-I hate Colorado. And It was godly when they got kicked out by these cats. I respect these guys because the fans are 100% with the team through thickness and thin. Heatley will do great things with them
Teams I could care less about
Capitals-I do like Ovechkin for his talent, but this team seriously lacks depth.
Columbus-Glad to see Nash with a good linemate, but they will still suck.
Ottawa-Shit fans are shit. Had a stellar team in the 2000's, but now they got a long way to go to rebuild.
Florida-Why does this team exist?
Phoenix-Doan is awesome, but besides that they should relocate...
Dallas-I think that lethonen signing last year was great. Same with souray this season. I think he's gonna redeem himself with michalek.
Nashville-Great defensive team makes for boring ass hockey.
Tampa-Too many stars for one team, if Richards signed with them, they would be in the hate section.
Buffalo-I think they've been a cup contending team for the last 15 years with no outstanding talent. I think a lot of it comes from the fans and coaches. I think they're gonna get a cup within the next 10 years.

FUCK THESE GUYS
New Jersey-Boring to watch, fuck brodeur, fuck kovalchuk. Only awesome things to come from the devils is Scott Stevens and his kill shots.
Phillie-Bryzgalov will probably fail along with Jagr. Never liked these fucks, except for pronger and Briere, both are playoff heros.
Pittsburgh-Shit fans are shit. how can a team with so many star players in it's past be so up and down with attendance? Crosby is a bitch aswell. Malkin could be a franchise player for any other team, but nop.
Chicago-Insignificant for like 20 years. And painful van-chi rivalries are always annoying.
NYI-Pansy assholes with terribad management. Even with all this young talent they're still a lemon.
Detroit-I mostly hate them because they've been such a good team for such a long time with no major dips in consistency. It's fearful to see them in the playoffs.
Colorado-Laughable last season, trading their most significant players away for nothing the not signing fleishcmann.. Varlamov and giguire might do well for them though. But they'll still miss the playoffs.
Calgary-I like Kipper and Iggy, but I don't think either of them will get a well rounded team together for a long long time... Fuck em.

100 years on the run

Just finished Two Lane Blacktop and realized I love stories about drifters. I've already written 2 scripts with drifters as main characters. So i think i might have found my writers trademark. Might as well do another one. The basic premise of this story is of a guy born in 1890 and dies in 1990.

It starts out with a man being born on some farm in the west. This man grows up being secluded from the rest of the world while his father preaches to him about all the badness surrounding them. When he turns 12 he sets out on night to escape his fathers preaching and to see the world. But his first experience traumatizes him as he kills an outlaw and saves an old man. He goes on the run with the oldman and together they explore the west until the old man dies and the old west dies. Depressed in the turn of the century(1910) he goes to war and ends up going awal while in europe and travels around avoiding officials until he catches a ship back to america after realizing there is nothing in europe for him.

When he gets back to america he tries to start a new life by having a family. He gets a job in a factory, meets a girl and makes a best friend. But shortly after marrying her and knocking her up his friend takes his own life after the depression hits. The drifter then realizes that he cannot deal with having attachment with anyone so he flees on horseback to find himself in the desert. He ends up meeting the family of the man he killed a long time ago and he apologizes to them. Then in the late 30's he rides on horseback to all 4 corners of the state. but he starts to go mad when he starts to realize all the prophecies that his father preached so long ago are starting to come true and his money is starting to run out. So he goes to a bank and tries to rob it, but he gets caught and kills a police officer. He goes to jail for 20 years. While in jail he tells all of his regrets to his other inmates and they all feel inspired by his tales. During his tenure he regains sense of community and finally starts to have friends again, meeting another old western chap who robbed the same bank as him 20 years prior. But they send him to the chair and our drifter begins to understand that he must accept that friends and family will die, so once he is released he seeks out his family. His wife has remarried and is unsympathetic to his cause, but she tells him to find there son, who set off on an adventure similar to his, maybe with his new found sensibility he can change his sons life before it goes down the drain.

He sets out on the road, travelling until the late 60's before finding his son within the hippie clan. He then goes on the road with his son until they get in a car accident and his son is killed and he is disabled. Again depressed and down, the drifter stays in a hospital for awhile where a young female nurse gains interest in him. Through the 70's he writes books about his tales and one of them was made into a movie while he stayed nestled in the forest living comfortably away from society, the nurse visits him, but he wards her off knowing that he can't afford another let down. She reads one of his books and finds that it lacks realistic characters, yet the story is rich. She leaves him alone until the late 80's where he realizes his days are coming to an end, so he goes on the road one last time to explore all of the places he has been over the days, and visiting the graves of his friends and family lost. He dies at the same place he was born.

This seems like it would be an incredibly long epic... Maybe a novel idea. I'll set out on it someday.

Best KD ever

This is a story of my adventure to get kd and cook it. Enjoy.

so, i got my ipod, my car keys, and my phone, which was charging. Headed out to my car, started it up. put on my ipod, chose an awesome song. and got on my way to shoppers drug mart on davie, which Is the only place i know of that sells milk at midnight.

I get to fourth avenue, and while trying to turn, some asshole in the oncoming lane stops in the intersection as if he's going to turn, but his flashers aren't on. So I get pissed off and do a burnout and do my left turn onto 4th and start speeding. I then realize how silly speeding is, since it might jeopardize my kd mission. So i slow down, and it was good timing because i end up at a red light beside an undercover cop. I slowly make my way to burrard street. I then get on burrard and cross the bridge. some asshole in a bmw driving about 40 kmh faster then me flies past me and cuts me off and gets in the furthest lane and passes some other people... I bet he was drunk. whatevs. So i get to Burrard and davie and wait at the lights. these two couples cross the street, both highly intoxicated. right infront of my car one of the couples start drunkenly making out. The light changes and i ruin their romantic moment by reving my engine. They stop kissing and laugh, they stumble off the street and i turn onto davie and end up at my destination. When I'm at my destination, I quickly went for the milk, then the kd, then I seen some cookies on sale and got those. I then adventured over to the ice cream, but it was too rich for my blood. Then the shoppers drug mart chips were on sale so i bought two of those.

I used to go to this shoppers a lot when i used to live downtown. And when i went to the till the cashier knew me from an interesting conversation we had a long ass time ago about the movie Fight Club. We make idle chit chat and notices my absurb amount of kd(3 boxes, all of which were the high class pricey type) and I make a comment that I'm in no mood to cook my planned meal at such an hour, and kd seems like the best option. She laughs, I should have gotten her number, she's rather cute, and I think she likes me, she remembered our conversation from a year and a half ago, that definitely means something.

But anyways. While heading out. I hear a shitload of sirens. I decide not to wait to drive on davie, so I go through the back alleys to get to burrard. While crossing thurlow i looked down to see 2 ambulances and a couple cop cars outside of oasis nightclub, i assumed somebody got fucked up, and i was right.. since a buddy of mine told me when I got home that somebody OD'd at the club. So I drove back home, it was extremely quiet, except for this obnoxious bmxer who thought he could bike across the road while the only car on the road is close to him...But after that It was clear sailing.I got home, and I was exmtrely excited to make my Kraft dinner happen. I started making my kraft dinner, heating up the water, sprinkling in some salt. I dumped the kd in the water. Then I went to the bathroom, while going to the bathroom, my roomate asked where i went last week. I explained my alberta situation to him, and he understood the situation and felt for me about the bullshit bus ride thing.

I get to the washroom, get rid of unneeded nutrients, then while washing my hands, the soap flies away from me and falls in the toilet, which was pretty spectacular... I took it out and washed it out, luckily the toilet water had changed. So, I wash my hands and go downstairs to the kitchen and start working on my meal, i gather the milk and butter and a strainer and a bowl.. The kd is cooking, so I wait beside it and whistle the Song of Time from Legend Of Zelda. Then out of nowhere, 3 of my roomates start raiding the kitchen and cooking things. I get a bit flustered, so i try and act calm and cool.. I don't like cooking around people, i always feel like they will criticize my cooking strategies. anyways, the kd starts to boil, and i take some out to test it and it's the perfect texture. so i strain it, and mix it all together. 1/3 milk, and half a spoonful of butter and the kd mix.

I stir it until the powder is gone and all of the macaroni is golden. I then put it into my other bowl, i clean both of my dishes, because I'm respectable when it comes to dishes being done.
I then put some black pepper in one of those awesome pepper churning thingers(citation needed) on my KD. i mix the kd up, then put on some more.. i want every macaroni piece to have some pepper on it. I finally accomplish my goal, and finally get to eating my masterpiece.
The first bite was breath taking. It's as if I was eating at a fine dining resteraunt reserved for gods and jewish people. The second bite was even better. This one was a little bit more peppery, but oh man... It was perfect. Halfway through the meal I took in too much and started choking.. So I took a break from my kd to relax, and rest from the nonstop orgasmic meal. I then coughed, and out comes the macaroni that made me choke... I then finished my bowl, and stood their exhausted, and praised my meal to my roomates. I offered the last peice of macaroni to my roomate. but he was clearly not worthy, since he chose to make some stupid chicken burrito from scratch..

I then washed my dish, got some milk in my classic "Love brings rainbows cup" and got me some cookies, settled down, and started telling my epic tale.
It was the best macaroni i've ever had

Gecko Effect

This is a story inspired by a drug trip I experienced today. I've been sort of anti drugs my entire life, but there is something different about hallucinogenics. I did DMT, and this is entirely inspired by my night of experience.

Lets start on our main character, Brock, He's a teenager with a small amount of friends, good good type friends, rich kids living in the suburbs. He's different, he bikes to school, is on a vegetarian diet, and he's an alright artist. But he's sheltered by his high class living mother and father and his goody too shoes younger sister. He's not very good in academic classes, but he could care less. One day his best friend, a fellow artist and hardcore hippy named Conny(girl) who kind of has a thing for Brock, invites him to a party. At this party, he enters a room where they are all having a DMT dream party. Brock hears what it's all about and is immediately attracted to the idea. He's the last one to do it, and he has the craziest, hardcorest trip ever. It lasts half an hour, up until the cops break up the party and he's brought out of the party in a stretcher, he's still in a trance.

The next day he wakes up in a hospital, and the world looks differently, it;s altered in every way. He's living in a permanent dream space, except he can walk and move, but illusions appear to him and he cannot stop them. His parents ground him to his room, where he spends a week alone trying to recover, at first he hates the illusions, despite the fact that they are all gorgeous. But then they inspire him, and he starts making art, amazing art, gorgeous art. He then finally goes back to school. When he shows his art to a teacher,his artist makes him host an art show. His buddy Connor was worried about his absence and they have a deep conversation about the drug, Conny and Brock Do it again, just the two of them, This heightens Brock's normal being by ten, everything is hardcore different now. He can barely handle it.

His family gets him a therapist and a personal physician. both of them tell the parents that the kid might be a schitzo and he will need major psychological treatment. The family talks to him deeply and say he's going to a mental hospital. That night, Brock manages to escape the house and meet his buddy Conny and together they head off into night... The next day Brock's art show happens and it's a major hit. Then, Conny and Brock have a heart to heart followed by a kiss and map out a plan to escape together with the money Brock made from his artshow. But Brocks family send a cop out for him and arrests him and sends him home. Brock then goes to the mental hospital and they do terrible things to him and end up curing him, yet make him mentally disabled. After an angered meeting with his parents, then telling Conny that he can't live this way, not without the experience and he realizes he can't escape the facility now that he's lost part of his brain. Brock does the drug one last time, then does a memorial with his blood after he slits his wrists. He then has one final trip, the DMT explodes when he dies, the most epicest light show one can think of. The memorial becomes one of the best paintings ever done...

Ionno, made it up as I went along. But the basic premise would be the same, a preppy kid who has never affiliated with drugs before, takes DMT and gets a permanent high from it.

I'd definetly dedicate some time to this film if people found it interesting. I'd use a lot of crazy ass visual styles and a lot of electronic music. The reason why it's called Gecko Effect is because one of my friends said he seen a bunch of Geckos. I seen a bunch of Rabbits layed on top of each other that turned into butterflies, definetly going to be in the script.

A Sagovan Tale

Another retelling of an old story i wrote awhile back. I'd love to someday write and direct this on some gorgeous island in Fiji with a bunch of sea turtles. Excuse the format, this is copy and pasted from a conversation with a friend on facebook.
Well it takes place in a mythological world, On a secluded island in the south pacific. maybe 5 miles around. Takes place long long ago, possibly during the egyptian periods. There is this tribe that lives on the island, about 50-60 people. Everyone has a specific job that they must do, and they must train their kids to do that job aswell. The island's main food source is turtles, green sea turtles to be exact. They come onto the island to nest then they depart for the sea. The weird thing about this tribe. Is that they never touch the sea, they fear it. They believe it brings harm and badluck and death. They send their dead off into the sea.

Here is where we meet our main character. He is the son of a turtle hunter, which means he must become a turtle hunter. but he can't kill a turtle, he finds them too adorable. His father is continiously dissapointed in him, along with the rest of the tribe. So one day our main character named Sayun, decides he's going to do some turtle hunting on his own, because he believes that maybe he can;t kill a turtle because there's so much pressure on him. But on this particular day, he follows a turtle until he reaches the sea, knowing the dangers of the sea and the rules of his tribe, he's hesitant to follow. But on that day, he sees a silhouette of something far off in the sunset. Curious, he goes into the ocean and walks towards the island, but he gets to the point where he can't walk anymore and he struggles to keep himself up. So he goes back to shore... But he thinks that maybe he can reach the island if he tries.

And here is where the bulk of the story comes in, ill brief it though. Sayun practices swimming and catches on, but he cant see the island any longer. meanwhile, a young girl in the tribe gets curious about his doings, but Sayun hides himself well because no one expects him to be out at sea. His father continues to grow concerned about Sayun's lack of hunting skills aswell, and his absents and his new interest in the ocean. But after awhile the girl catches him in the act and brings it up at a tribe meeting and Sayun gets in trouble and gets punished. Frustrated with the girl and the tribe, he swears to leave the island. but he can't see the other island anymore, so he believes he might have just been seeing things. So he gives up and accepts the society, until the turtles start to stop going to the island and a famine sets in. people start dieing, and Sayun feels incredibly responsible for this because he wasn't a very good hunter, so one day, he goes to the beach, and sees the island again! He rushes back to the tribe and informs them of it, and they also see it!

They trust that he can make it to the island, so they accept that he should go and see what's over there before it dissapears. So he heads over there, but a giant storm approaches and Sayun gets caught in itHe struggles and eventually makes it within meters of the other island, but the storm takes his life. It ends with the tribe perishing, and the final shot will be of James Cook entering the island a thousand years later and finding a strange structure that Sayun made of the turtles and the sea... Sayun explored the world for his tribe and they never knew it...

That's that.

Moving to Vancouver

copy and pasted out of a conversation with a good friend of mine. This is my moving to vancouver tale, 5 months belated.

So i worked a summer back in alberta doing road construction. Dreadful stuff. But it got me enough money to pay off a lot of bills, get a car, a nice camera, and enough money to move back out here. So near the end of october is when i decided to go, And i was gonna get laid off because it was seasonal work, and then i could get ei and live for free! My foreman told me i could get off on the 15th of october.. But then I got sent to an asphalt crew, and I had to work until mid november. FUCK THAT SHIT. Luckily my old foreman vouched for me and I got off on the 16th.


First, I went to a road trip to saskatoon to visit my dad and hang out.I chilled there for a bit, it was fun. Went and seen Coheed and Cambria live. Which was a really awesome show. Went with a really good old friend too. But I had like 4 beers, and had to drive 2 and a half hours after the show to Regina to stay with my buddy for a few days. I was extremely sleepy, and I ended up swerving around on the road.. I ended up getting pulled over by the cops,but I explained my situation and they let me off with a warning. I stayed in Regina for 3 days, seen this Kim girl who was my text buddy for like 3 years.. she was my advice giver for a long time. but this was our first meeting since she was like 12, it was kinda hilarious. but it was a good time. I left regina to edmonton pretty late, and decided to drive all the way there in one show, and it was snowing hardcore, the first snow, My car has like shitty all season tires. So it was super sketch.
Inbetween battleford and lethbridge it was the worst. I was passing a semi at one point and i got in the other lane and starting swerving back and forth. i slid onto the shoulder and did a pretty impressive manuever to get back in formation. The rest of the drive to edmonton was pristine and gorgeous.

The next day me and my buddy Greg headed off to Vancouver.Now Greg, he's a hilarious guy to hang out with. He's down with anything. But after a long ass car ride with him, I sort of hate him... He's kinda arrogant, spoiled, always fuckin sick, and he can be a terrible person. He told me that if he got his girlfriend knocked up he was going to run to Vancouver and live with me. To which I responded "There is nothing lower in this society then that. " That was followed by an hour of uncomfortable silence. But we had fun times, we mooned truckers. Drove at like 170km outside of calgary. He was taking pictures of the mountains while driving, which scared the hell out of me. I warned him that everything i own is with me in this car, and he smartened up. We stopped in lake louise, it was pristine and gorgeous. Then stopped in sicamouse for gas and the punk ass kid took my id while i was there. We ended up in penticton to stay at gregs friends house when i realized, So we had to backtrack 3 hours to get it. Then we drove through kamloops, realized it was a lame ass city. And Kelowna is far more awwesome.

Then we arrived here And stayed at my friend dannys place. We extremely over stayed our welcome though. It was a small place and I was looking for a place to live, and settled on my cureent address. But for the last 2 days of october I had to stay in a Hostel. Which was actually a really fun experience, went to a canucks game. Chilled with australians. Drank 4 nights in a row then was too exhausted to party on halloween. Instead watched all the drunken action from my hostel window. Then I moved into this house... Hung out, was a lazy basterd. Got my car towed on the third day, 90$ to get it out.That's my moving back to vancouver story. Like it?

Chasing numbers

I've had this on my msn status for awhile. This is the number of trains i've done in the last 2 years. time to solidify these numbers on the internet!

2009-14/11/13/22/5/2/5/10/2/1/0/0=85

January up until may I was going nonstop to the freight yard. When i got off work i'd head out there and pull off some stuff. My numbers dropped dramatically when i moved to Vancouver. During the winter in van I didn't even paint due to money issues. I painted some walls, that's aboot it. My numbers rose to 10 during the summer because I came back to Alberta for awhile and teared shit up.

2010-6/3/4/1/7/4/9/11/10/13/0/4=72

During the summer I went as often as I could. But my numbers were still rather low. I'd blame it on the fact that I worked such long days, and i was exhausted after every shift. My last couple months in Vancouver at the beginning of the year had some consistency. Tried to make it tot he yard once a week.

2011-0/

Off to a rocky start. I've been doing more street stuff lately because of the weather and the fact that the nearest trains are in New West.. and that's a half an hour drive. I don't think this year will feature very many Enver Trains. I'll probably get more into bombing and walls this year around. I have however, completed 3 canvas's and numerous stickers and other art projects this year already. so I wouldn't say I'm falling off.

Lake Vostok(part 1)

This script story is pretty outrageous, but apparently it's original, and I've sparked some interest to finally put it on paper.

So, Lake Vostok is a massive lake under the ice in Antarctica. It's the most pristine lake on the planet and humans have yet to touch it's waters. Right now some scientists are digging to see what's down there. hopefully i finish this short story/possible screenplay before they explore the waters. So here is a synopsis for a possible script involving this.

We start on a team of Archaeologists/anthropologists or whoever the hell would work on a project like this(I haven't done much homework, fuck off.). 4-5 at most, the leader is some old guru baster who reads a lot of historical books and has researched in almost every country on the globe, probably nominated for a nobel prize in his field and he's probably being privately funded to do this, lets name him Sanders, because nameless characters are forgettable. He probably has a romantic interest on this voyage who is also a photographer(Darrington?), and a trusty sidekick(Rettski?) who has worked for him for years, and possibly knows his obsession with discovery. He also has some extremely smart fresh out of an ivy league school kid(Warmen?) who looks upto him as if he were a god, and finally a financer(Purseau) who wants to know what's under that ice.

So we got our characters, now our story. Sanders, Rettski and Darrington are working in the rift valley when they find something truely extrordinary and groundbreaking after an earthquake causes a massive sinkhole to form where our team find an ancient city of uknown origin where he sees clues of a connection from this city to another city in an uknown land near a lake that was abandoned due to a winter that lasted a millenia years. There would also be some awesome indiana Jones style exploration in this part. Sanders then asks his financer, Purseau to get him to Lake Vostok to join a team of scientists to discover the lake. Purseau lets in, knowing that Sanders will pull something out of that lake and make Purseau's rep go up even more for aiding his journeys. Sanders team joins the lake Vostok scientists, which is 3 people, Warmen, Galvington, a scientist from germany who has weapons training and will be operating the mini submarine that they will drive to explore the lake, and Favrez, a Mexican scientist who is responsible at the surface and for the satellite imaging.

During a lunch all of our characters get to know each other, Sanders is still investigating pictures from the last site, he's deeply entranced by all of the mystery surrounding the area. pictures that feature a city built above the waters in the middle of nowhere protected by the gods(Easter Islands lol) and an actual god that wore a crown that looked similar to the Stonehenge. And something that looks similar to Atlantis. Darrington and Rettski grow concerned, but they are just as excited to learn of the mystery of the lake, Warmen is sort of comic relief and constantly annoys Sanders.

so the next day, they reach the lake, it glows bright blue, truely gorgeous. They first send a computer operated submarine below the surface of the lake and explore, but something spooky stalks the submarine and destroys it. Sanders convinces everyone to take the mini sub under the water to explore the lake for their own eyes. Once below they see all sorts of incredibly and unthinkable wildlife and fish, alien like creatures. The scientists compare them to fish and so and so. but they eventually end up finding a strange dock and then, HOLY FUCKING SHIT! A city under the ice! A massive metropolis, built by an unknown culture. The city itself is a giant museum, filled with luxury and all sorts of amazing artifacts of massive size that might suggest that this city was built by a god... Sanders is incredibly interested in this city, they stay the entire day and the crew try and convince him to come back with him for some rest and to alert the media. Sanders insists he can go without food, Rettski is worried, Warmen is excited and says he will stay behind aswell. Rettski tells the crew to get a doctor and supplies for them tommorow and he stays. The 3 of them make camp in the middle of the metropolis. Sanders hypothesizes that the city used to be a port before the climate drastically changed and froze the lake over, but the city is completed as one entire building. They haven't found any living quarters, just monuments and massive artistic structures.

That night, Sanders can't sleep, so he ventures off on his own and meets a very strange human down there! who speaks... holy shit... ENGLISH! Very broken english, but the person is incredibly smart, and incredibly old. He is the Currator. He explains that this used to be the palace of the god, the god being Qesta, the leader of a long forgotten society that existed after the dino's went extinct, they were a race of human beings that differed in bone structure from other humans, their bones decayed shortly after death along with their skin, so no fossils were ever found. The Currator then tells them of how the society was newly created, Qesta himself created the entire race, he was created by a higher power after the meteor hit to recreate society. Qesta started building. He first created the city they were in Vostok, as his own personal palace and ruling kingdom. He then created a city out of easter islands. He built it on top of the water because of the fierce predators in the waters below, it would serve as the center of the world. It was built entirely above the water, with several hundred towers with the heads on top built as soldiers. He then went to the bermuda triangle and built his second city, Atlantis. The meteor hit the caribean sea, and the impact of the meteor had a magical effect on the area of the bermuda triangle and caused the island to be incredibly fertile while the rest of the earth laid to waste, confused, it turned out to be a lot more prosperous city then the easter islands due to the farming. He then went to the rift valley, and then to new zealand to create cities, non of which were as good as easter island or Atlantis. But once the ice age came Qesta's human beings died, he tried to save them by giving up the last of his powers to protect his palace and enclose it from the elements. Unfortunately he made his followers too far apart, and they all couldn't interact with each other or have a way to get to his palace in time. His culture died. so he wandered the world depressed that his culture had died and his powers were gone to waste to protect his palace. So he buried himself, his crown can still be seen, it is the Stonehenge :P. Atlantis ended up living on until it's own random magical powers faded and it eroded into the sea. And as it turns out, The Currator was the only resident of the palace, he was also Qesta's son. Sanders and the currator talk about their worlds until Sanders mentions that he broke through the ice to get there. The Currator then informs that this could mean danger!!! As they have broken the magical seal that protected Vostok for all these years, and that Qesta might be outraged to find out that the only thing he could save is now going to be destroyed! Sanders then informs the currator that he doesn't want to destroy the city, but in fact save it. But at the surface, the rest of the crew has discovered something terrible. QESTA HAS AWAKEN! HOLY SHIT!

Yea, I'm falling asleep, so this will go in the almost finished profile. but you get the gist of it. Potential second part might feature more indiana jones-esque style scenes. Sanders will go crazy and will try and threaten to destroy the city if he cannot take it over and rule it for himself. His crew then takes over and tries to find relics from easter islands and Atlantis which have both risen to their former states and are totally fucking up the worlds and are only accessible by a portal in Vostok built after the death of the culture by the currator.
