22

When you think about it, twenty two birthdays is a lot of birthdays. When you really think about it you can probably only remember a handful with details, others perhaps a few memories here and there. The pictures will always remind you what cool things you got at the time, make you think where some of that stuff is now and what kind of stuff you look forward to getting now. Though there will always be one thing that will remain constant no matter how many birthdays pass or how many are yet to come; you'll always be with the people you care about that day and all the people who care about you will be there too, or if they can't, they'll be thinking about you all day. Some of the peole who will be there will gladly let someone else cook the steaks because you don't like yours cooked to a crisp while others know just being there will be a good time because you're always caring, loving and just an all around great person and people love being close to you.

Here's to hoping 22 will find you with the ones you love, the ones who love you and perhaps in another couple birthdays, a pug to fill in any empty spots.

So i've found any and every reason not to write for quite a bit of time. I'm wanting to start updating a bit more often, as the documentary's starting this week and I'd like to write down how the progress goes as it happens. LIVE! LIVE! LIVE!

So it'll be interesting. For an editor, a director helping you while you edit is great and all, but there always seems to be disagreements. So when I heard that I'm going to have TWO directors, I decided that quitting drinking will be something I may try after this 3 month process is nearing its end. Apparantly these directors are great and all to work with on their own, but when they're together you need to find a safe place to weather the storm.

This documentary will be the defining point of my career to date. The biggest project i've ever worked on and will either make or break me in the eyes of the place i'm working at now.

So if this works out well, i'll be ready to pack up my things, move to Hollywood, start doing blow, become an alcoholic, have an affair with Angelina Jolie, become a Scientologist, "park" behind the Hollywood sign, become the notorious badboy which will make me more popular than Collin Farrel, Tell people like Russel Crowe and Al Pacino how to do their job, make stars, break stars, "park" behind the Hollywood sign again, dump Angelina Jolie for Anne Hathaway, join the mob, start importing cigarettes from south america, build a crime empire, get caught for tax evasion and racketeering, eventually agree to do Oprah, but NOT The View, have a terrible falling out with EVERY film company in town, move to Germany, buy a farm in an extremely rural area, put a rocking chair on my front porch, drink beer, learn how to play the banjo, upgrade to guitar and start a legendary rockstar career.....but that's an entirely different story.
