Cholos Empericados 2

I am thankful for a lot of things, and to list them in detail wouldn't do justice to them, but to think of them at off-hours and quiet times will. And those times will be happening soon as I get ready to take off to California on one of those big jet planes. I don't have much to write about personally, but I felt like doing something for this blog. Dethklok was good. Wolfmother will be GOOD. I've been watching more movies lately and I'm glad to have made that decision. From Cholos to Cassavetes, it's been educational and even entertaining sometimes. One thing that really irked me recently was that in the final cut of this guy's senior thesis short film, my friend and I were left out of the credits. It's not like we brought people coffee or did something possibly forgettable. Nope, we production designed the fuck outta that film, spending several hours this summer scouting, lugging, and building for free. A screen credit is all we could ask for, and we didn't get it. It's infuriating, even on something as small as this, to not be recognized for your efforts. But, whatever. I can probably use what little rage this has given me to boost my writing this week. Motivation is key, and the fact that I won't have any responsibilities over the break means that I will have to compensate with something, and writing is good at filling voids. It's not great at filling in cavities however. Ahahaha, I'm still not funny. So yeah, headed to California soon, a place I will be staying at as soon as I graduate from college. I was talking to a family friend who's someone in the television industry about stuff, life in general, and she told me about a really great internship program for writers out there. This program is going to figure into my grand plan for life out of school, and it's my goal to get into it. In the meanwhile, co-piloting a script with a friend and seeing where that can take us. That's about it. To you and yours, have a great Thanksgiving.

RECOMMENDED LISTENING: King Khan and BBQ Show, GIRLS, and Islands.

A Tiny Rant

Life is ridiculous right now. Piles of assignments, a multitude of projects, and none are really things that I want to do or think will benefit me right now. I want to WRITE and damnit, these things are just getting in the way. In terms of scheduling meetings with ma awesome script-co-pilot and getting writers' block when I otherwise wouldn't, these responsibilities suck. I understand why I'm in school and what good it's doing me, but fuck man. Just fuck. I cannot wait for Thanxgiving and I cannot wait for Winter Break. I just want to relax and get work done. But for now, I will just keep on living and hopefully get past these dumby dumb hurdles. Also, the new Venture Bros. isn't online just yet and I ate some nasty Chinese food, so that could be why I'm in such a bad mood. Yeah...probably like 50% is just that. Well, adios.
