The New

When something ends that has been dragging on in an extreme negative way, it's a good day. It's a chance to start over and leave that bullshit behind you so you can get going in a new direction.

I've started a written series called, "Put It Down." So pretty much, I write something down everyday without planning what's going to come out, just write and see what comes of it. I've come up with some interesting things, I found, so I'm going to start posting some of them here.

Cheers!

IV

I've made three political music video's so far in the past two years and I am about to embark on my fourth. I found my motivation in one Donald Rumsfeld. I haven't chosen a song yet, but I think I know the direction I'm going to take it in. I know someone who has a website who's agreed to host it for a month.

The Untitled Story

The Untitled Story

So very ironic it was that it rained that day. As he walked he couldn't imagine a more suiting atmosphere than the one he had been awarded with that morning. One lone ship waited at the harbour that day and very few people were going to travel on it. Accompanied by a lone suitcase, he was headed to Europe. Funny really, he had no intentions of visiting Europe, it was merely one stop in a long journey that had one great significance. The destination he was seeking didn't exist. So where does one go to find this place? He figured Europe. All he found was one more place he didn't want to be.
As the years rolled by, he finally started to realize that there was no end in sight to his misery. He sat down and leaned forward. As he looked down at his hands, the wrinkles appeared to have multiplied. After all, he was now seventy four and still hadn't found what he was looking for. That night he laid his head down to sleep and never woke up. For the rest of eternity the world would wonder what he was looking for.

Day one

This is the beginning of my new blog. My third in all and one that I hope I keep with this time.

I went to see Hotel Rwanda tonight and I recommend it to everyone to go see. I'm glad this film was made and hope that it would make people react differently when they hear about terrible things going on around the world.

I am going to start writing down idea's for another script, one about travelling back in time. I have a basic plot worked out and think that it's a good twist which makes it different from the other time travel movies.

It is almost 1am right now and I had better start getting ready for bed, or i'll be pulling another all nighter again tonight.
