Things continue apace. I haven't written because i don't really have anything to write. The short story has ground to a halt as the main characters voices has faded for the moment. I'm just super tired all the time. It's depressing to know that I'm going to spend the rest of my life being tired. There's no escaping it now. The medicine didn't work at all and so I'm left with the knowledge that there's really nothing to be done about it. I guess ultimately it's a minor complaint when so many people I know have it so much worse. |

I've been banging out a pulp crime story for the last couple days or so. It's my first time ever writing something like this and the first time I've written a story in a couple years. But it was something that needed to be written. The main character was talking to me. I began putting it on paper because I started hearing snatches of his dialogue in my head, over and over demanding to be written. I've only had this happen once before, and that story was the only thing I've ever had published. It's slow going though, his voice is so specific, each sentence has to be carefully crafted. But when it comes, oh boy, does it come. Denise must be going nuts with me constantly leaping out of bed when we're trying to get to sleep just to jot down lines and paragraphs so they won't slip away.
It's odd too, that even though I normally write horror and science-fiction, this is probably the nastiest thing I've ever written. It's filled with corrupt, sleazy people doing bad things to other corrupt sleazy people. The main character is an unrepentant bad man who's doing one good thing for all the wrong reasons. And you know what? I'm enjoying every minute of it. |

Christ. Alright, you win. I'm on facebook. I got tired of people asking if I was then telling me how great it was when i said no. So now I'm now it. I barely ever use Myspace these days so I have no idea how often I'll use facebook either (probably a lot at the beginning and then quickly trailing off to next to nothing). So if you want to friend me, or whatever its called on facebook, I'm now there to friend. |

First off, 5 Guys Burgers? Massively overpriced and overrated. $10.52 for a soggy, greasy burger and fries? Fuck you.
Secondly, Michael Jackson? Sorry, don't care. The man hasn't been relevant is over 15 years and the last time he was, it was because of the technology used in a video, not him. When was the last time he was anything more than a joke? He's the next fat Elvis.
Yes, he was the last great pop king and there will never be another like him, but you know what, he stopped being that king at the end after Dangerous, which was nearly 20 years ago, and that's without getting into the mess of his personal life. And if you want to get into his personal life then it's even less of a loss. Being found not guilty doesn't mean you're innocent. No one has a secret kiddie bedroom just for giggles. And the peter pan syndrome was just bullshit, like all the other lies he told, that grew over time. Jackson was a shrewd businessman and knew what he was doing at all times, anyone who claims otherwise is deluding themselves. If you want to separate the man from the music that's fine. But the music continues even after the man is gone then. It's sad when anyone dies, especially a young person with very young children. But let's not kid ourselves, it's no national tragedy.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled bliss and happiness and apologize if the sudden increase in spite has ruined your day in anyway. |

From the new trailer for Avatar the Last Airbender:
See his arrow? A little different from the cartoon, huh? That's because it was designed and created by Josh Lord. MY TATTOO ARTIST!
Cool, right? |

It's weird being involved in a project with so much secrecy that the contestants can't even sit in my edit suite because they might be seen. |

| What happening |
[Jun. 16th, 2009|11:59 am] |
I've been limping around for the last couple day since I stepped on something in the dark that tore open the bottom of my foot. The irony is that the main pain doesn't even come from my foot but the muscles in my leg from putting extra strain on them to keep the weight off my foot. Going for a long walk on Sunday, the day after it happened, probably wasn't the best move either.
I saw a guy on the train this morning that I was best friends with in elementary school. I pussied out and didn't say hello though. I was just waking up and so wasn't in the mood to be sociable. He seemed not to recognize me. If I run into him again I will introduce myself. |

I just learned that in 6 months I very well might be out of a job. I am less than thrilled about this. Particularly because I was led to believe that the position would eventually become a staff one when I took it. Now I'm being told that I need to work a loophole if I want to continue here past the anniversary point. But the odds of that working aren't good. So I am rather annoyed and put out at this moment. |

I went to hear Chris Moore read from his new book last night. Ironically, he never read a word of it. However, it's always nice to discover that your favorite authors are as witty or funny in person as they seem on the page. So the end result was that no one minded that all he did was talk for about an hour. It was an hour filled with much laughter and I'm glad I made the trip out for it, even if all the seats were filled and I had to spend the entire time peering in through the doorway. |

You'd think I'd have learned by now but of course I haven't. Before going to bed last night I decide to partake of butter of the peanut, which of course resulted in very intense dreams. So intense that I was actually experiencing tactile sensations in the dreams. So intense that when I woke up I wasn't sure if I was remembering a dream or a memory. |

Last wednesday was Denise and my first anniversary (next friday will be nine years though). We made the most of it with a candle lit dinner picnic in our bedroom on wednesday and then a trip out of Atlantic City this weekend. Denise had wanted to try Las Vegas, but, well, I hate it there, and we didn't have the money to do it. So instead we took a bus and Denise got to loose more of my money than she would have been able to otherwise. She actually managed to do pretty well at first, making a profit of over $70. But when there's nothing to do but gamble the money ends up just sliding through your fingers.
All in all, we had a really good time still. There was plenty of laughing, drinking and fun, which is all your can really ask for from a celebration. |

Right now there's a cameraman in Maryland that I want to hit in the face with a 2x4. Don't care if you've never used the camera before, don't set the timecode generator to external time again. Otherwise I will come to your house and eat your children. |
