Thursdae

Woke up wicked late.

Got shampoo and conditioner from wegmans to make my hair purdy.

Went on a little 2 miler.

Went to The Comedy Club for the monthly open micapalooza. Singed up for one of the 5 lottery spots, and got it. Was pretty nervous all up until the point of getting on stage again. It's weird, like right up into that moment insecurities and second guessing assault my mind, but as soon as i grab the mic it all vanishes. Had a full crowd of over a hundred people which was awesome. Went up and mixed up my set a little bit with sprinkles of new stuff and it really felt good. Was just in the zone as one would say. Went over time by not noticing the Red Light of "wrap it up", but its all part of making mistakes and learning from them. Felt really good and had a lot of fun.

Wednesdae

Helped some friends move out of their Roc apt as they are moving to NYC tomorrow.

Went on a really good 5 mile run, had a good strong finish listening to rocky music.

Went to Comedy class in webster and learned some neato stuff.

Went to the Open Mic at Sullys bar. Performed some new material in front of a whopping one patron. yay sullys. Seriously its the same as telling jokes to a cardboard box.

BUT, performing again this coming Sunday at The Comedy Club in Webster for the class Graduation show at 7pm. Should have an actual crowd there which will be pretty rad.

Went to a bar to meet up with a bunch of people to say goodbye to my departing friends to NYC. Was pretty fun.

Tired.

Tooosday

Did a nice little 2.5 miler.

Went to Wegmans.

Got this awesome 8-Bit Weezer album.

Went and saw (500)Days of Summer. This movie more than any other in a long time did the most important things you can do in a film. I felt connected to the main character Tom played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I felt his happiness, his pain, his confusion and loneliness throughout the film. The film is a realistic portrayal of a modern romance. One that is every adjective in the book. The film illustrates through hopeless romantic Tom's point of view the entire relationship of one girl named Summer. Starting from the day they first meet-> through courting->relashionship->downfall->breakup-> till the day he finally moves on completely.


The non-linear structure of the film really helps illustrate the entire arc of Tom and Summers relationship as we get to see Tom crushed early on, then get too see how he got to that point, then how he gets better. It realistically shows how the male hopeless romantic mind works like no other film I've seen before it. It's definitely good to see a romantic film geared for a male audience and perspective. I could spoil the ending and moral of the story, but its far better to just go see it and experience it for yourself and make your own conclusions. I know I've been saying that about a lot of films lately, but it's just been a incredibly awesome week of watching films with this one, District 9 and Inglorious Basterds.


Wrote 15 more pages of my first feature length script tonight. Going to get the first draft done before school starts on the 7th of Sept.

It's 5am, damn.

monday

Went for an awesome 7.5 mile run today.

felt real damn good



Watched Bad Taste, Peter Jacksons first feature film today. It took him 4 years of filming on weekends to do it. Sure it had its flaws but it was definitely good inspiration in that if you want to do something, you just gotta go do it. And do it your way.



also did some laundry, rock and roll, yeah

Sundae

Just got back to Rochacha tonight.

Saw Inglorious Basterds last night. FUCKING AWESOME. So far my favorite film of the year. Go see it. And I have found a new love with the french actress Melanie Laurent. wow. marry me.



Went to an Indian Casino today for my friends bday. It was interesting seeing tons of geriatrics sitting at all the slots plunking away their money in hopes of good luck.

Saturrrrdayyy

In Wlsv.

Had an unpleasant encounter with a post office employee today. This dude looked like a mangy homeless dog, like he's been in a Vietcong POW camp for 20 years. Of course looks can be deceiving but his personality was much worst. Idk what it is but sometimes I really like it when someone i don't know is pissed or mean to me. It just gives me the chance to practice some acting and see what happens for fun. This instance probably wasn't the smartest idea, him being a postal worker and all. But it was still fun nonetheless.

Went to Darien Lake for the Blink-182 Reunion tour yesterday. It was pretty sweet. Tons of people. Got pretty good spots for lawn seating area. The light and technical aspect of the show was really good too. Took forever getting out, and almost ran out of gas but everything turned out well, except there being a road kill skunk on the road every 5 miles. Seriously it was disgusting, like someone was just planting them there like a big 70 mile obstacle course back to Wlsv. I half expected a red turtle shell to be thrown at me for good measure.


Going to go see Inglorious Basterds tonight.
Freaking Pumped.

Wendzday

Good 5 Mile Run.

Good Comedy Class.

Took a personality test, it gave me ENTP. I remember taking the same kind of test when i was a kid and got the same thing, Inventor/Adventurer.

Driving to Boston tomorrow morning, then off to NYC on friday, so will be taking a little break dear readers.


I'll be back.

Taco Tuesday

Went to the public market.

Went on a good 5 Miler shirtless...scandalous.

Went to Comedy Class in Webster, got lost on the way cuz i was talking on the cell phone while driving and missed the exit.

Went to Lux.

just another manic Monday, whoah ee oh

Yeah that was a lame header.

Whatever.

Today's 5 miler kinda sucked, it was wicked hot and humid. I raced this guy for about a mile kinda creepily. He passed me then i just ended up following at the same pace 2 feet behind him. My brain just went into race mode, I guess it was kinda creepy being that close thinking back on it, but at the time it didn't go through my head.

Did some comedy class reading down at Boulder Coffee.

Went to the dollar theatre with the dudes and saw Terminator Salvation. I saw it before but it was still fun. But seriously, the biggest gripe I have with that movie is all the girl characters in the movie look like they are straight from a Garnier Fructis commercial, you are in the apocalypse in war against the machines everyday of your life yet you still have time to perfectly shampoo, condition and stylize your hair. Bullshit.
