One year older
I am officially 27 now. In the past year I have accomplished alot but still have alot more that I wish to get done.
Yes there are people I would like to speak with again, some free time I would love to enjoy without looking at the clock, and lay out and enjoy the sun while it is still warm.

I admit there are some people I would like to speak with again, would like the time to go to Atlanta again for lunch, and even go to the beach. However I am doing alot better than I was, I am no longer a retail monkey, have college under my belt, still have alot of good friends both new and old, no debts, a good credit score,y and no longer have to worry about my financial situation as much.

Regardless, I am happy with who I am and where I am which is more than others at this point in life.

Current Mood: accomplished

I really wish I would hurry up and heal up

Last night was in no way fun or a good night. I cant really complain though since I do choose to be in these sort of situations.
Still...it would be nice to get a full nights sleep since I have not had one in over 2 weeks.

Odd
I have more bruises on me right now than I have had in the past 5 years combined.

So we are getting close to filming our first scene. I have a few concerns with how we are doing so far. I have two cast members who are unavailable so I need to recast them with my second and even third choices for the parts. Not a great start but I want this thing working on a smooth level.

The name of the movie is called "Mask of Sanity" and its about a female serial killer. There are alot of cliches im trying to avoid that seem to be pretty common place in today's film.

So I really need to stop paying so much attention in movies. Its gotten to the point that not only am I spotting all of the flaws they are missed in production, but the easter eggs that I think the Special effects team threw in there as a joke.

Old memories
So I finally developed a roll of film I found in my drawer from a few years ago. I was suprised to see it was from the last prom I went to after taking Rhonda to her Senior Prom. It was worth the trip up to South Carolina just to see her but her being one vote off from winning Prom Queen was pretty impressive for her even though I think she should have won. As for me, I dont think I ever had so many people refer to me as a 'keeper' in a single night. Well that I know of.

The pictures turned out pretty well, reminded me of how much fun we had and even though it was not a huge prom it was still one of the better ones I have been to since the ones in Macon were just a ticket tape cluster.

Looking at the pictures was an experience in itself, It was years ago but I remember taking each picture and at the same time looking forward to seeing how they turned out, now that they are finally developed I can add the good ones to my albums.

Current Mood: pleased

Lost Weight
I have lost a total of 25 oz.

Yeah, it was a joke to begin with because I cant think of anything else to write about.

Instead of posting I should be finishing my script since we start filming in a month.

So
Someone asks to hang out, drives from Warner Robins to do so, and less than 2 minutes after the encounter just vanishes making it impossible to reach them.
So I have had a mix of being worried as hell for thier safety and just pissed that they would vanish. All in all it goes right back to being worried though and driving around for over an hour looking for them didnt help my nerves much either.
Seriously, if you are following someones car and vanish 20 seconds later from the rear view mirror, how the hell should you not be concerned?

Current Mood: stressed

I finally gave Chris her birthday present.
A Queen sized Hello Kitty Comforter which I have been toting around in my trunk for over a month.

Given its probably best I am not carrying it anymore since it gets difficult to explain to people why you even have it to begin with since it raises alot of questions.

Crime averted
I just chased off a bugler. No joke.

Slightly unprepared since I was chasing after the guy in my boxers and t-shirt and running barefoot uphill.

So now my feet hurt like hell, I can feel the effects of running past my safety limit which will be a whole new sensation tomorrow morning.

It was just a chase but Im pretty sure if I didnt casually pace after him to begin with I would have caught him. In retrospect its probably better I didnt catch him but Im sure the time spent throwing vulgar comments wasnt wasted.

Current Mood: exhausted

Its amazing how predictable people can be in thier actions. After three years someone has crawled out of the shadows and begging for forgiveness.
Needless to say it will not be given.

Current Mood: productive

Shhhh
Wireless wiretapping is now legal.
Im sure conspiracy theorist and paranoid civilians alike will be cancelling thier cell phones.

Come to think of it the movie Enemy of the State has been playing alot on Demand. Bourne Ultimatium and the Simpsons movie had pretty obvious references to government privacy invasions.

Once in a blue moon
I really hate the ticket quota the MPD has been issued. I have 2 tickets to pay and not to mention the other 2 times I was pulled over for the officer believing I either didnt have my seatbelt on or just a random check.
Either way, its been a long week and I have alot of stuff to mail out over the next month or so to help keep me busy.

Current Mood: contemplative

Broken again
It would be nice to have a camera that does not randomly break. Im not complaining that it has broken twice while still under warranty, but its annoying as hell to have to send it off for 3 weeks just to wait and get it back.
Not to mention it has messed up the same way twice so I am seriously considering just getting another camera brand and see how that works out.

Current Mood: annoyed

Havent posted in a while so figured I would try and update more often.

Been getting more into the swing of filming more but its still a little difficult when your having to balance work and social life while being the only one commited to filming projects.
On the plus side things have been going pretty well for me lately. No more bullshit I normally had to deal with which has made things alot easier.

Other than that, I am looking foward to tonight.

Its been an interesting few weeks.
If you had told me a month ago on how everything would have happened in the past few weeks I would have been highly doubtful to your time travelling predictions. Its not so much the events that have transpired since some of them were already suspected in the back of my head, but its how I dealt with it.
I got completely over something that really bothered me alot quicker than I expected myself to. Spending time with people and developing addictions have probably been a main factor in this, but also finally realizing that I am worth a hell of alot more than I was being treated by current and people in the past was probably a large clincher.

As for today, I got home and pretty much went straight to sleep for a few hours of needed sleep. Past few weeks I have learned its probably better to start planning events of the night rather than letting them happen on the fly.
For the weekend, I have it off.

Current Mood: cheerful

To sum up the week:
Picked up a new stalker
Beek sick all of it
Worked all of it
Almost had no voice
Barely slept
Dropped a large load of personal dead weight
Ontop of it all I have had more fun and been more relaxed than I have in a very long time.

This is not England
I almost got killed tonight in a head on impact with a truck on the wrong side of the road.

I cleared the hill on Eisenhower beside MSC and noticed a set of headlights coming right at me. I only had a second to react and just barely made it out of the way of the oncoming truck. After that my adrenaline was pretty much spiked and it took me a few minutes to shake off the effects.
The asshole didnt even stop, slow down, or wonder why the hell I started honking my horn after I swerved. Would have honked it before but couldnt risk him paniking and swerving in the lane I was dodging into.
Regardless, he was headed towards Lizella and I wonder if he ever figured it out. I thought about turning around to try and warn him but by the time I could have reached an area to turn around he would have been long gone.

Current Mood: thankful

Its going to be a long day when someone tries to sell religion to you on the escalator on your lunch break.
