Blessed Beyond Measure

Welcome everyone to another chapter in the saga of my semi-interesting life. I cannot stress this enough, but, thank you from the bottom of my heart for sticking it out with me as I continuously dip in and out of a literary absence.

As odd as it may seem; Life and Times in Hollyweird has seemingly weaved its way into the mass paraphrasing queries of "would-be" screenwriters from all across the globe. Google has been kind to us.

So, straight-away to the good news, if I may...

Life has been interesting to say the least. Within the last year, I've gone through a series of extreme highs and unfortunate lows.

I've gotten sick - recovered - relapsed - recovered and to my dismay; found a job - climbed the proverbial ladder - kicked down doors - found new opportunities relating to my experience as a dinky screenwriter - exploited my talent - and now waiting for the "big break".

I'll be discreet, but only for the sake of the almighty "don't jinx yourself" theory. Not a believer? Google it...and while your at it, Google "keyboard cat" you will not be disappointed, I promise.

Great things are coming. Please continue to support those who are in pursuit of a dream. I'm a fan of positive reinforcement and as cliche as it may sound...you can really do anything as long as you set your mind to it. Keep faith my friends!

Thank you to all the people that have helped made my life easier to understand. I don't even know if that made any sense...

Dave Brewer, Mervin Ho, Dennis Benson, Derrick Oliver, Jeremy Ian Thomas, Rich Araujo & The whole Edifix Team, April Wade, Louie, Joey, Josh and Family, Tim Lee, Vince Trujillo, Jason, Anthony Cincotta, Mom & Dad...the list goes on.

Stay tuned folks. This is about to get interesting.

P.S.
A quick favor...

Tasty Goody Blog Time - Best of Posts pt.2

If there was a water-cooler in the blogosphere office, this is would be the scuzzlebutt. Don't know what that actually means but I saw it in the "The Office" quoted in a relevant joke. Think it means the topic of discussion - or - could a fictional creature "South Park" created.

Anyhow, here are some interesting posts from some pretty nifty bloggers.

fadein.wordpress.com | 5 Things the VMAs Had in Common With the RNC
"I feel dumb for having watched either. I feel even dumber for having watched both." Classic.

girlfromthenorthcountry.wordpress.com | On Being Good Enough
Very well written and personal blog about the pressure of following your dreams and how sometimes it seems; we may be following something bigger then we expected. Highly recommended and a fantastic read. I feel like this all the time Ann.

johnaugust.com | How to handle a phone meeting
Informative article teaching us how to properly pitch a script idea to an agent, exec or producer over the phone. Nice article here because I'm horrible over the phone, sometimes I need other people to act as my assistant just to get through the initial "How how are you doing?" weird.

themovieblog.com | New Quantum Of Solace Trailer
Must see for any James Bond fan. Much darker then Casino Royale, I have high hopes for this film. Check out the trailer and see for yourself.

doubledingbat.com | Violin
Looking for a new movie to see? Well, go rent Violin. I've seen this movie a while back and it was quite moving. Beautiful visuals!

Notes from the Underdog | Screenwriting Tip Countdown #8: Don't Write For Trends
I can't agree more.

silentbobspeaks.com | “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” Red AND Green Band Trailers and (Canadian) Poster
About time f***ing time.
