A New Decade, A New Era

Welcome, welcome, my friends to the show that nearly never ends.

Well, its a new decade, a new era. Good riddance to the old decade. Got some decent sex once in a great while back then but other than that...

Well, 2009 wasn't all bad.

Got a new car. A 2010 red Dodge Challenger just like I wanted. My first new car I ever bought in my life. Still seeing my current female friend, I kinda guess she is my girlfriend. And I made a new film, a short action-comedy. A script I wrote a few years ago and one I thought I would never get around to making. But I pushed myself and got it made for a lot less than I thought I could make it for. And I had my crazy, cult film critic friend act a small role in it. I'm feeling pretty cool about giving him his first cameo role. After filming his scene that day we went for amber beers and sweet potato fries at Father's Office in Culver City. It was one of the most stressful and best days of my sad, sick pathetic life.

The next day of shooting at a Los Angeles liquor store was one of the worst and most freaked out days of my life. We shot in the dead of night when the store was closed. And I was freaked out wanting to jump in my car and drive off at any time. But I calmed down somewhat and figured out how I wanted the film shot and we got it done. More or less how I had envisioned it.

Those night moves, those night moves.

Still in the post production phases for the film.

Finally faxed the distributor of my first feature film and they faxed back some sales sheets and basically told me the film hadn't done too well saleswise. Which is a big time bummer. But I guess it is just good the film got released at all.

Have another short film I want to do this new year. And I wanna make a new feature film this year. How I will ever get the latter done is a mystery to me.

But I will try. In my half assed way that I do. By putting a minimal amount of effort into it and life in general.

Hope this new era goes better for me and you and yours. But mostly me. I'm selfish like that, daddy-o.

Workin' on our night moves...
