i'm alive... really

Ok, I'm back and I'm alive...

First off, It looks like the X-MEN 3 story line will have something to do with, some organization finding a 'Cure' for the mutant strain - though it was also said something along the lines, that it's time for mutants to stand up and prove themselves, I guess by that it means that lines have to be drawn, on both the good and the bad, so I guess Wolverine can't be Mr Indecisive anymore. - but on the other hand, it looks like some PHOENIX stuff might play in, which is always the case - just when things can't get any worse, Jean has a Phoenix'y attack... I love it : ]

Secondly, well not much to say. I'm just gonna work Thursday, shop for my Christmas Eve look - I'm thinking a classy corset with something lacey for the shoulders, point shoes with high heals and either a cute skirt or a sleek pair of jeans to tie it in - but I don't know, wont know until Friday. Then it's family and Fun on Christmas Eve... Head out to Longview Christmas Day, come back some time during the week, and hope against hope, that some kind of New Years Fabulous Eve plans fall into my lap... other wise it's movies and bubbly.

TTFN....

King Kong and X-men

Ok, so I went and I saw King Kong.... And it really only truly left me with two thoughts, one of doubt and one of assurance; I am now more then ever sure that I am meant to write, and so what dose this mean I'm defective? - let me just start at the beginning....

Ok so if you live in Houston and or the greater Houston area then you know that December 14th wasn't only the day we were introduced in full to Peter Jackson's' King Kong, but also the day we caught up on our rainfall, and did so with avengence. And for some reason Nik and I never entertained the thought of an umbrella... So it's easy to understand how we ended up in a AMC (which I can't stand the amc theaters, but apparently no one else likes cinemark/tinsletown) with our entire bodies soaked in rain water, including our jackets, shivering and barefoot, apparently boots with zippers are not water proof and my converse all stars - well it speaks for it's self. We sit through about a half hour worth of bad music and terrible movie facts on a very short loop. I was never so happy to see a Diet Coke commercial on a big white screen sounding the arrival of the previews... Now I would like to sit here and give you along list of all the movies to come, but in all realities they don't matter because one Preview out shined and erased all the others from memory when the MARVEL logo glowed red on the screen, that's right boys and girl, it's the X-Men 3 trailer! Kelsey Grammer looks awesome, Ben Foster is sure to make his biggest break yet and what a wing span, only one shot of Anna as Rogue, thank God, JEAN is well no longer Jean ^^ , Wolverine as hot as ever, rock on Jackman... and the list of thrills that the new movie will promise goes on and on, and after recalling the Super Man preview I saw a few weeks ago, all I can say is Bryan Singer, you will not be missed! But Back to the point, the reason this began? KONG!
For a change in trend - this movie and more importantly it's cast has actually captured the characters.. Imagine a movie that's not about the actor's but the roles they play! Judging by Nik's reaction to the 'Actor' character in the movie, both of our reactions to the 'Director/producer' and my own personal take on the 'Author' played by of course Brody... this movie and the people and ape that make up it's story are spot on!!!
I wont sit here and waste space on the effects, because it's Peter Jackson, you can't get much better then that, and oh yeah Lucus fans, I said it, I went there : P
Honestly it's the perfect blend, though the role seemed a bit to serious for Jack Black he pulled it off, and even though there is some heavy psychology going on inbetween the lines for all you english majors ( and no, I'm not referring to the super obvious stuff) It really is a majestic movie that offers a perfect harmony from the Director to the Script writers to the Special Effects to even the Actors, do I know what life was like for everyone who worked on the film off camera? No, but on camera it came out as nothing short of harmony, something we haven't seen in such a very very long time.
I sat freezing cold in a movie theater, in seats I really could careless for, soaking wet, with just one to many sips of Dr. Pepper in me and did so for THREE HOURS AND SEVEN MINUTES! And would happily do so again, minus the soaking wet of course, but if push came to shuve.. lol
The only part about the movie that really disturbed me is the big ending, I wont say it, but we should all know it never the less... all the women were sniffling and clearing away tears from their eyes.. and I thought it was good, but didn't bring me to tears - maybe it was because I was to busy rooting for Brody. Who knows and Fingers Crossed.

Again, I left this movie wondering, why Didn't I cry.. and knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am supposed to be a writer, will it be at first.. chances are no, but I'll take it at last.

Movie-Extravaganza!

My computer isn't playing very nicely right now...

So yeah.. getting ready for Christmas... Yeah. Luckily I only have one last gift to buy - of course that's only if you don't count the three name tags and the bag of cat nip I told my mom I would buy if she springs for the collars. That's not to sad, right?

I can't wait for The 14th! King Kong... I mean how hot is Adrien Brody in this movie? And it's strange, because when was he ever hot? It's like all of a sudden, and possibly only for this film, so I'm sure I'll see it 4 more time before it leaves the theaters. Oh, yeah the monkey looks cool too. (j/k) Sweet Dreams all around then ehh girls? And yeah I know he's got like the biggest nose in Hollywood, but someone had to steal that title away from Hugh Jackman, and I've had good luck in the past when it comes to guys with rather noticeable noses and so it's not a turn off. - And yes, I am ignoring the fact we both have the same hair cut.... Sighs


Narnia.. Well I haven't seen it yet.. my list runs: King Kong, Walk The Line (i'll get around to it) and then Narnia.. Yeah I'm excited because it's based of classic kids books and like so I'm a wanna be young adult fiction writer and so forth, but like with most fiction, I haven't ever even touched on of the books, don't need to start now. I guess my biggest problem surrounding this film, isn't the film it's self.. but all the Media with their "Watch out Harry Potter, marinas sure to be an instant classic!" .. WTF MATE? Last time I checked, Movies didn't make Harry Potter a hit and the little wizard wasn't even nerospark when books from the Narnia collection were being passed around the imaginations of not only Kids, but fantasy lovers of all ages.


Curious George, of course has me curious. It just looks fun. Though I wasn't a fan of the children's book as a child - It still looks pretty cute. - I was more of a Polar Express kid... And no, I haven't subjected my self to the movie just yet.. if they can make Lord Of The Rings into a one of a kind master piece and then make not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 Harry Potter movies, and put out stuff like Tim Allen's Santa Clause movies... I see no need to have ever handed such a classic to the hands (lol) of computers all together... breathes


Off Movies and on to DVD's and TV productions, I still need to rent if not buy the WB's production of Felicity. The only American Girl I bothered with. And some how I need to either Rent or Buy HOUSE OF D. It's a classic in my eyes, and chances are in my eyes alone.


And since I've brought it up a few more times then I should... Finally here it is, my two cents on the no longer not so new Harry Potter flick. First off, Daniel Radcliffe is such a cuttie.. He's gonna make some lucky girl so happy and have some really nerdy kids with some hippie undertones ( so will Rupert, but with the Irish undertones) . The movie it's self is the best on yet, though I am still a fan of the third movie, I thinks it's the time travel twist of the third movie that really keeps me coming back to it. But anyways, despite mixed reviews, I really think this movie, the fourth in the series is actually rather good. Yes it worked hard, pushing way to much into way to little - so if you watch the movie - pay attention. And if your like me and didn't like the Second movie, try and not be so put off at the end of this new movie, when your not 'Ohhhhh'ing with the rest of the movie go'ers. And at last, if you didn't work at Atsroworld (more so in the entertainment department) you'll still enjoy the film, but if you did , like I and Nikole did, then you in for some hidden jokes, that I'm sure you'd be blogging about in you own little world like I am now.


In other news... I've began working on re-writing my two lost chapters.. wouldn't you know they'd be the two most jampacked of the entire lot of them. I'm giving myself to the first of march to have the first draft finish... I think I can, I think I can.....

I keep thinking one day after I hit it big, the world, or at least the small percentage that will make up my fan club will enjoy this collection of my life past, present and whatever I randomly decide will make up my Future.

So I keep writing and thankful for the few who do still read this in the 'NOW", without you, well I'd be kind of a loser.

As for now, my social life just did a 180. Hung out with A. for the first time in over a month. Given the fact we used to see each other at least 3 times a week, and spend almost every night this summer that the same Mexican restaurant and after parties and coffee shops. A month feels like forever. More so when we left on a bad note. And me and Nik who were getting along great, kind of took a wrong turn somewhere in the midst of the last two times we talked. I know it's my fault... And I think I can trace it back to a 5 minute conversation about miscarriages.. all science on the surface, but all emotional in secret. But I've been wrong before.

The sound track to my life right now is "Born in the USA" by Bruce Springsteen. I'm starting to wonder if I am the only person left who still like the Boss.

I almost finished with Christmas shopping.

I actually went out on a semi date thing, again with the guy from like over a month ago.. Some call him Hottie (name) and some call him Cream Soda. (some meaning my friends, don't really know what his friends call him). It went much smoother, didn't spend the entire time comparing my self now to who I was when I was with Russell.. so yay for me) I sat down with him and watched about half of Reservoir Dogs (sp??) People have been trying to get me to watch this movie for well over a decade now. It reminds me of all the stuff I used to write in High School. So I can't wait to finish it... and as far as the guy.. I hope to see him again. Even if this doesn't go anywhere. He's going to be one cool cat to know.



I guess that's it for now..

WHATEVER TOMORROW BRINGS
SPIRAL OUT
WAVE ON

Dancing In The Dark....

It's late, I should be asleep right now, I have to get up early and work for a twisted group of people, all to earn a few lousy bucks. It's a job, it'll do for now. I'm 21, and this may not be the most confused I've ever been about life, but it's making the top ten. Two other times being once when I as about 13 before I realized what real writing was, working hard on my art, only to realize my talents were rather halfassed, in every area - from penciling to sinning. One of the other times, being of course when I lost Russell... now, is not near as dramatic as the first two, but you get the idea.
I was sitting back watching an interview with one of the guys from the Invisible Children documentary, and I think it's wonderful that it's causing a bit of a revolution in today's youth, Christian and non Christian alike. But I also recall the fact that a young boy was killed by a stray bullet, not to far from where Russell died. It's annoying to think, that slowly, but surely you can change Africa, but you can't change the north west side of Houston. I mean yeah sure, it'll change, everything changes, but in Africa it's a cause, Here on the home front, it's just time.
Now, a bit closer to home, I'm about to quite one job, to work again for KISD. Yeah, that again. At least it's stable, talk about full circles. I'm keeping the Three For One job until probably Christmas eve, so I can go see my cousins up north and not have to worry with getting back by some unreasonable deadline. As far as a two year plan, well still looking into Cosmetology schools, but also I've been reading up on the Air Force reserves. Someone suggested it to me years ago, over 4 years now to be exact... maybe it wasn't such a bad idea. Just a back burner thought. Just because I can't find a useful meaning for my life, does not mean someone else can't.
I'm also starting to regain a bit more courage where guys are concerned. At least I think I am, Nik seems to think other wise. I guess only time will tell there too.
I just want to be happy.... I mean I know I am where I'm supposed to be... I just thought being just over a month away from my 22 birth day, that maybe I'd at least be engaged by now... So that leaves me with 8 years to fall in love, get married and have a kid.... or any of those three in any order. In theory that should be no problem. But I hear it get harder as you get older.... This isn't a mid life crisis at all, or even a pre - crisis.... I'm saving that for 45. Just some quite concerns I'm working on for 25 and 30.
I need a little direction, maybe a Sign... any time now would be just great.
