Wow ...... yeah, it's come to this. The blog is over due to my elaborate scheme of building career being pretty much over, due to all my allies in the enterprise basically turning their backs on me.
I've been forgotten. And this blog? Whatever, I'm the only one who fucking reads it, let alone posts on it.
Yeah, here comes the self-pity ... which disgusts me as much as it would anyone else. But self-pity seems to be an instinct for human beings. Hey, on the up side, at least I'm human.
In conclusion (let's just get this shit over with), I thought I could succeed in my plans this time and change the world, but let's face it, that's not gonna happen and I can't blame anyone else, I can only blame me. Cowards can't lead a company, and I am a coward ... in more ways than anyone else will ever realize. I'm believe it or not the most powerful organism in this galaxy (long story), yet I'm afraid of everything. Even afraid to tell the most wonderful person in my life how much I love her.
Do you think blogs are overrated?

Cockblocked
I don't know what the future holds ... the more I think about it, the more I lose the belief that I do know.
Every so often my dreams come crashing down. I want to be a screenwriter. I want to be a director. I want to have a work of art stick around after I've kicked the bucket. I have dozens upon dozens of ideas that could be made into films or plays or TV series. But those ideas are always cockblocked by the refusal of my peers to cooperate with me and wait out the chaos in order to see the end triumph.
What will happen to me if I really do fail? Will I be allowed a quick, merciful death? Will I be rewarded for my efforts in a way different from what I was looking for? Or will I be dragged through another century of the same old crap?
So far there is only one person that can make everything right. She walked away from me a long time ago, never to return.

Megabyte trailer
"15 Eyes" is being shelved for now. It was impossible to avoid bloodshed with Izzy Lawson on such a project, as apparently 20 minutes actually means 30 minutes and 30 minutes is too long a movie.
The new debut production for the company is a teaser trailer for "Megabyte", a TV series about video game designers who must stop one of their creations from bringing about the end of civilization. Who knows if we will ever get the funding to make the actual series, but a trailer is a good start. The concept has been done several times before (i.e. "Ace Lightning"), but if we do end up producing the series, how we roll with the concept will no doubt generate interest ... I'm thinking it's one of those shows with a cult fandom.

Another Year
Here I sit wondering whether a blog for my company was a good idea on top of everything else I have to do. I am not a blogger by nature .... very rarely do I have something prepared to spew out in text for all the world to see (or not see, of course), because it takes so damn long for my thoughts to click into place and form a speech I feel satisfied with.
Life is non-fiction. If there's one thing I suck at writing, it's non-fiction. And that makes sense, because:
"You can't just create fiction, and let it replace your reality. If you want something to happen, don't imagine it, just do it." - musician / philosopher Susan Waycik
That's the mantra I live by. I can't spend hours and hours explaining to people what I'm working on. I show them instead. Or at least I try.
Dropping this barely-breathing blog like a hot potato, however, is an entirely different story.

Oh yes, other members added ...
Laura Del Papa is the group's new leading actress. Danilo Miljevic, Jacob Boose and Cody Mcgrattan will be extras and crew members.
Backup plan
Because "15 Eyes" has become far too ambitious a project to fit between the second semester's school workload, I have devised a better, less epic debut.
It used to be that when it comes to weddings, the bride and the groom were the only subjects fit for cinema. Judd Apatow's Bridesmaids changed that.
For "Here Comes the Wait", Sezar Salad Hashbrown will focus on the people least likely to be of interest to anyone at all: the random people in the pews who are just watching the whole wedding unfold. However, it is these people that hold the greatest opportunity for comedy and drama because as third-person observers, they subsonciously (rarely consciously) project themselves onto the ceremony, and each wedding guest sees the married-couple-to-be in an extremely unique way.
Instead of taking the whole of February and March 2012 to attempt all of the shooting required for "15 Eyes", "Here Comes the Wait" will be filmed somewhere in that period in (hopefully) a single weekend. "15 Eyes" filming will be postponed until at least May 2012.

Limbo
Beyond the title, there isn't anything of substance I can say. "15 Eyes" is quite simply and unequivocally in limbo while the people attached to the project recuperate from a very chaotic term at Sheridan.
