That Guy

Man, I've been trying too hard. Living in the past and forcing myself to go back there, thinking that it'll put me where I want.

And I usually hate people who try too hard. You may have the best of intentions and you may not be harming anyone, but there's something about trying too hard that's really annoying and makes me wish something bad would happen to you. Nothing DRASTIC, mind you, just something slightly unfortunate. Like you lose your car keys. Or a finger. It's even worse if you're trying hard and faking at life. But that's another can of worms.

The first key to writing is to write, not to think.

You really just have to let it all flow out. Dont think about what's going on, just go for it. I dont even LIKE doing drafts or editing work, so what's been my deal? I dont know. I'm getting too wrapped up in my head.

I think that I need to step away from all the technology. "Ayo, I'm tired of using technology." The computer, the television...it all just breaks my concentration from my own thoughts. I'm reactive to what I'm fed. I'm slowly losing the joy of making my own thoughts. Using my imagination. Speaking my mind.

Dont think about where this is going. Just do it in it's purest form. Unadulterated, ad lib. The way life is.

Tuesday TV: 02 Oct 2007

Cavemen:

Didnt really like it; the show didnt really interest and hook me, though those Geico commercials are by far my favorite TV commercials. One plus: I enjoy the "stick-it-to-you" banter that the cavemen argue back and forth with.

Carpoolers:

Once again, not impressed again. The story was boring, actors werent great or really funny, and I felt that the "carpool" wasnt used to its full potential. One plus: Jerry O'Connell. For some reason, something about him is funny. Maybe I'm channeling my weird liking for "Joe's Apartment", but I thought he was the only CLOSE to funny part of the show.

All in all, a bad showing for what I suspect ABC was trying to make THEIR comedy prime time night, meant to perhaps compete with NBC's Thursday Comedy night, though they are obviously on different nights.

So who is the Tuesday night prime time winner (based on what I watched)? HOUSE!!!

Last season, House fired Chase, Foreman and Cameron quit, and now he's testing a bunch of doctors who are competing to fill the three spots???? It's like Amazing Race, Survivor, and House all rolled into one! And I already love House! Man, that guy. Annnddd.... Wilson and Cuddy remain favorites, as always..

Oh, Someday...

Man, sometimes you just gotta go back to what made you feel good...

Zombies Moan A Lot

I’m thinking that I should get into writing about zombies and stuff. The reason is that I’ve been told that my writing is, essentially, uninvolved. What that really said to me is that, for better or worse, I don’t reek of emotion in my writing. And that made me think of zombies and other dreary subjects. It’s not the first time it’s been pointed out to me that I have some sort of lack of emotion. My voice has been characterized as crazily monotone, which may be the reason why I love Napoleon Dynamite so much (as some people say).

The truth is that I actually really like that “lack of emotion”. I kind of tend to live life that way. I don’t like getting caught up in emotions and the feelings, dealing with all of the deep-down-in-your-soul subjects. It may make me seem a little cold, kind of like Ryan Howard working the Dunder-Mifflin Scranton office, but I feel like all that stuff weighs me down. I like to focus on what’s in front of me, the goal, the plan, and just life in general. Now I feel like my outlook is kind of apathetic, actually. I sum everything up to being “life”. Bad things happen, good things happen; all of it is just life happening though. Some people brood and celebrate and constantly wrap their minds around the events that happen to them, asking “why me?!” or being thankful for their blessings/good luck, but I just like to roll with the punches. Just like zombies.

Zombies have no emotions. They’re purely primal, animalistic. They have one thing on their minds: eating brains and any other body parts of living beings they can get their decomposing hands on. They don’t eat you because they’re angry, or that it makes them emotionally happy. It’s all about survival. How crazy would it be to write a story from the perspective of a zombie?!? As far as I know, it hasn’t been done before, but you find out it has, let me know and I’ll quickly throw this idea in the garbage.
