My present Screenplay, “The Crown of Fire”: 1st update

The current screenplay I’m working on is, “The Crown of Fire.” I had taken a long break, about a month, and am getting back on track. It is a medieval era movie with lots of action, suspense, drama, and personal struggle. It is not however, epic. It is very focused on the main character and his personal quest for revenge. Currently I have many gaps, but eighty-three pages of material. I’m working on the first draft and am trying to make sure the character’s motivations and personality logically produce the events that take place in this violent action movie.

He is developing his clothing line and is still doing fashion consulting. If yo would like help with your wardrobe, contact him before his clothing line takes up all of his time.

Fantasy Football, I’m 3-0

At present I lead my league with a tough game coming up next weak. My draft strategy was to lock up my receivers early, Since most RBs share time and wouldn’t be worth picking early. I had the 10th pick and my target, Larry Fitzgerald fell to me. Also, Steven Jackson fell to me, so I had to take him with the 1st pick of the second round (11th overall on the ladder/snake system). I drafted Roddy White in the 3rd. He hasn’t been doing much for me, but Steve Smith of the Giants has been doing great. The Raiders passing issues are hurting McFadden, my third RB. Ray Rice is my 2nd back, with Willis Mcgahee stealing carries and touchdowns. Felix is hurt, and he’s my 4th back. On the bright side, I drafted Matt Ryan as my QB. This was right after I drafted Tony G to be my TE. Because I got my 2 RBs, 2 WRs, and TE before QB, The top 7 were off the board. So I went with Ryan’s upside and took Matt Shaub 2 rounds later. Now I’ll just switch them by match-up. Shaub might even be the starter, if he can stay healthy. We’ll see how the season goes.

Kimbo lost his fight!!

I guess I can’t be too surprised. Rashad did the right thing by matching up the most experienced fighter in the house against Kimbo. Kimbo’s arm was trapped as the dude layed on top of him, with his huge belly. Ow well.

Jim Johnson Beloved Defensive Coordinator for the Philadelphia eagles passed today

DearJim,

You were a great coordinator. You were loved by Eagles fans and respected not just by your opponents, but by their fans as well. You will be talked about for years, perhaps twenty or thirty when we look back on the success the Eagles had with you at the beginning of the millennium. It’s not just your family and friends that think you left too soon, but hundreds of thousands of Eagles, NFL, and football fans. Thank you for staying with our team as long as you did.

I got some attitude from a school administrator, she didn’t win

So I go to Montgomery County Community College today. I signed up for a two day class in Microsoft Access. I printed out this parking pass that also lists the course and classroom number. except my printer cut off the far right side print. I don’t know the class number. I know where the registration window is in the main building. I walk over and ask her, but she says I need to have ID. I left it in my shorts when I was jogging. She says, “you don’t have another form of photo ID? I say no, only my license has a photo. She says I have to have it. “can’t you just look it up by my social security number? She says ok, “do you have any other ID?” I give her my car registration. She asks for a 2nd form. She Asks for my student ID. I say I haven’t been a student since 99′ and I signed up online for one class. She says Im supposed to know. I give her the C.C. I used to pay. I tell her the course number. She looks it up. “Oh, you’re in continuing education (I already had a degree, it’s a non credit course). She continues, “that’s not us. You want this cubicle over here (two behind her).” “But you are not registered for that class.” I walk in say hi, to the polite Asian girl in said cubicle, she finds me, I don’t need I.D., prints a sheet for me, I’m done.

I didn’t get a chance to talk to the first woman again because she was helping someone else. But, here are some things to say to use against stupid people who talk down to you.

1.So obviously problem solving skills aren’t a part of your job description. So why don’t you call over someone who is capable of doing that.

2. So I don’t have my I.D., do you think you’re smart enough to think of an alternative?

3. OOHHHH, so I don’t need my I.D. So why were you wasting my time telling me I do? Is it because you don’t want to work? Or giving people a hard time helps you feel smart.

A dog ran out of it’s yard after me, and found out it was a bad idea

I was jogging yesterday. I had my ipod on and I hear barking. A dog is running out of it’s yard to track me down. So I stopped. I turned around and gave it it my ravenous animal look and and curled my fingers in claws. And I lunged forward, intent to devour it. That dog dog skidded to a stop right quick.  it’s legs struggled to gain traction on the street as it attempted the quickest U-turn possible. Then it was Nick Coates chasing the dog down the street. I decided to be nice and let him/her run back into it’s yard. I just wish that it had started pooping as it ran away.

Today I celebrate the birth of my website

I’m sitting at home right now. Beside me is my friend and talented professional Owen Cole. Owen is walking me through WordPress orientation and showing me around this site. If any of you would like to have your own site created, contact him at www.ideamesh.com.

And I just handed him a bag of Chex Mix Dark chocolate, available at your local grocer.
