A girl

Have you ever noticed that things seem to happen for a reason? Or that at least things happen in a way that breaks past just plain coincidence? I know I have. When things just go a way that blows the mind, completely opening up things that you never could possibly believe. That happened to me tonight. Something so powerful that it drew me to a different path. As with many things that blow my mind, this incident involved a memeber of the opposite sex. Who knows how this is going to turn out, or how I am going to fuck up this seemingly perfect situation, but my friends, you can count on me to do just that. Or perhaps tonight marks the beginning of a new era, one that involves me not throwing away everything I could want. Wish me luck my imaginary friends.

Read "Movie Idea" First

Like I say above, read the entry before this before you read this. So our main character believes these two people are aliens trying to take over earth. He starts to follow them and ask questions around. There does not really seem to be anything linking them to a plot to take over the world. But then he starts to see a pattern. He starts seeing these two people like everywhere he goes. He sees them at the video rental store and then he sees them at safeway and then he sees them walking together on the other side of town. He decides that this cannot be a coincidence. The aliens most have some sort of deliberation devise. He checks all the places that he has seen them but there is no sign of such a devise. Then he remembers the first place that he saw them, an old building in Oakland. He goes there to snoop around. He sneaks into the building and looks around, up and down hallways, in rooms, but there is no sign. Then at the end of a hall way he sees a door with light coming through the bottom. He goes to it and listens. There is a slight hum coming from the room. Eventually he opens the door. His face turns to shock. There are a bunch of people in the room but there are only two different kinds of people. They are all the people he saw on the bus. Dozens of pairs of them just standing there looking back at him. . . . . . . The End

Movie Idea

Hello everyone (and by everyone I mean Alrik) so here is a movie idea that came to me last night. This guy is riding on a bus coming home from the mountains and there are two people sitting in front of him talking in hushed tones. One is a girl and she is crying and saying all kinds of weird stuff. The other is a guy, who is trying to calm the girl and just generally console her. As the bus ride goes on the main character starts to ease drop on the two strangers. The conversation that they are having seems to have something to do with a bacteria. The main character continues to listen, the conversation starts to get even stranger. They are talking about some commander and a mother ship. The main character deduces that these strangers are aliens and that they are planning to take over the earth. The dude tells his friend after they exit the bus that the people informs of them were aliens. His friend convinces him that they are not aliens. Jump to 6 months later. The main character is joining an environmental group and he thinks he recognizes two people but he doesn't not know where from. A couple days later a bunch of people in the group start getting sick. And a truck tries to run over our protagonist. He sees those two people again and remembers where they are from, the bus, they are the aliens . . . . . To be continued

Everybody is scared of everybody else

I was walking to work today. You know how when your walking by people they look down, or look away? I do it too, I swear its the Strangest thing ever. Everyone is scared of something, I don't know what it is for other people but as far as I am concerned I am terrified of the opposite sex. Not to say I don't know plenty of girls and all that but when it comes to girls I don't know I am scared out of my mind. Women, now that's no so bad, women I can handle. Now don't get me wrong I'm not talking about age here, you can be 40 and be a girl and be 16 and be a women, its just rare that you find younger women and quite common to find older girls. A women is more mature - not to say fully but more so - they have manners and are focused. They aren't egocentric, judgmental and complete materialists. They care more about personality then looks, they don't escalate things to the point of no return and they know when you need them. But mostly they way I can tell a girl from a women is in the greeting. A women will shake your hand, be polite and introduce themselves. Girls will never introduce themselves ever. And when introduced they go for the wave hello, no matter how close they are to you. Not to say that women can't give the wave hello but they will always try for the handshake. Or if not the hand shake, they will at least present their hand, which is close enough. Today I met a few women, and a girl, I had to force the handshake on that one. That's how you can tell. But then you might say "will she's just shy". Well to answer that I'm not just shy, I am terrified of women in general and I initiate introductions and handshakes all the time. Oh that's right, I'm a guy its my job right? What happened to equality damn it. Women bitch and whine for days about how they should be treated equally but when it comes to shit like this they can't handle it. I'm all for equality but I think women and especially girls gotta step up to the plate once in awhile. Back to the walking down the street thing. So even when the female, be it a women or a girl, looks me in the face, and doesn't look down and smiles, there's no way I can ever for the life of me just smile back and say hello. Smile back perhaps, but then I have to turn my head, out of an incomprehensible fear. Its ludicrous I tell you, I am totally insane if I can't just smile back at a girl who is smiling at me. I gotta get off this damn fear thing, I swear I am going to go crazy, or more crazy. Well for now I'm going to try and put my thoughts into something productive. I'll be back later, hopefully with an anecdote to save my honor.

Ray

Man, Ray was great. I was shocked, comparable to The Aviator even. I mean wow. The flashbacks were probably the best I've seen in awhile, and Jamie Foxx really lives the role. I liked it even more just because I didn't know anything about Ray Charles at all and it is really an interesting story. I figuere since im on the topic I will put up my current top 10 as well.
1. Million Dollar Baby
2. The Aviator
3. Sideways
4. Ray
5. Hotel Rwanda
6. The Mortorcylce Diary

So this is my blog

Well I read an article about blogging in the Chronicle and I decided that I should start one. I know all you reading out there are so excited now. Perry's starting a blog, oh man I'm going to have to read it every day. Anyhow I went to see this guy David Orr speak today. Well I actually didn't only go to see him speak I had volunteered to set up at the event and getting to hear him speak was just a perk. This guy is awesome. He is like the head of the envionmental studies department at Oberlin College and they have just built this green building there. He talked about how we are at the end of our time with cheap oil and how we have to look to a sustainable future. Everybody knows that but very few are doing anything about it. David Orr is. Well my blog will hopefully usually have something interesting on it, but you have to start somewhere.
