January 2011
I hate the few nights when society deems us losers if we stay home. Those nights are never that fun anyway. Too much hype. Too many people. Too many cops out on patrol.
Anyway, I’m out of here, and if you are staying home, I sort of envy you.
I’ll be back early (by 3) unless I get drunk (not planning on it) or laid (not looking for it).
But my real New Year's Resolution for 2011 is to...
I Ain't Never Fail, So 2011 Is the Year of Risks
With out really applying my self at all in High School I got into every college I applied to. That’s not to brag. I thought about applying to better schools. University of Chicago and an Ivy or two were considered, but I (along with not wanting to deal with student loans) got lazy and never applied. It’s just to illustrate I don’t really take big risks. Especially if they require...
December 2010
Oliver isn’t my best friend in the traditional sense, but Oliver is the only person on earth who I can be completely fucking candid and open about anything with, which made Oliver a valuable person in my life.
Except Oliver has disappeared off the face of the Earth for the past few month (well, ok he’s in San Francisco getting his life together), but I’m starting to face the...
No, honestly we’re never smart
We fake it, fake it all the time
– James Murphy, “You Wanted A Hit”
If there’s anything that encapsulates this year for me, it’s this declaration from Mr. Murphy. James does what he does smarter than anyone else and he still feels like he’s not good at it.
I’ve had an absolutely excellent personal and professional year but I wake...

Bored enough that if I knew how to make .gifs right now, I’d totally be making .gifs.

A Twitter feed retweeting tweets of Christmas gone horribly wrong. Oh boy.
My Dad's Parents Are Having Christmas Dinner at my...
This is after my mom went over to their house for Thanksgiving. My parents are divorced, so this recent trend is kind of awkward, or I imagine it is, for my father at least. My mom’s family is all dead (or in a halfway home), and her only real family is us and my aunt, my dad’s sister who she’s been best friends with since middle school.
Either my grandparents really hate his...
Saw Black Swan today
Out of every thing that could stress you out in that movie, especially during the final act, the thing I was worried about the most was the fact that she could embarrass herself in front of the audience.
It was like (spoiler alert) yeah, yeah you may have a dead body in your dressing room (but I didnt buy that for a second), you may have just crippled your mother, you may be slowly going insane,...
My mother has told me multiple times a day every...
Guess it’s time to buy new jeans.
Does everyone know that I have a huge crush on...
and it actually goes way back to when he starred in those McDonalds and Blackberry commercials. I just need to get that off my chest.
I'm Actually Kind of Sad I Never Run Into Anyone...
Mainly so I can just be like, “Oh, yeah, I did lose 75 lbs since you last saw me.”
Just took a picture of my mother so horribly bad and kind of sad that I want to post it for art purposes but I won’t because it is my mother (dot) jpeg
Waffelles: waffles for women
Me: Where'd you get that bruise on your face?
Mom: Ressling.
Me: Wrestling?
Mom: No, ressling. I won it.
Me: You won a wrestling match?
Mom: No, Restylane. I won $650 worth at the spa, and I had them pump it in me today.
I still think Advanced Screenwriting Final Project aka “Tarnished Silva” aka BessAndAoki.pdf is one of the best unproduced(/unfinished) screenplays in all of America this USB drive.
I haven't even worked on a script since I...
I don’t even have Final Draft installed on this computer.
I’ve heard that if you don’t work on your goals you’ll never reach them. Can someone confirm this for me, please, or is it just a nasty rumor?

Two of my coworkers have pieces that made the cut in various categories, plus a lot of other quality pieces that I’ve actually read this year.
