focus

24 hours, 18 pages, 6,608 words, 45 post-it notes on a desk, and 1 intense adrenaline rush later and my paper is complete. I even had 38 seconds to spare until the due date.

Paper could be the most important and purposeful thing I have ever written. It is definitely in the top 5 of best things I have ever written and puts the Sociology essay from last quarter to shame. Massive shame.

That's all for tonight, time for sleep soon.

Tomorrow is a new day full of purpose, so let's make the most of it.

Peace out bloggy!


p.s. thanks for the help with the paper, all the old posts really made it easier.

reflective

I have just finished rereading the most significant posts I have written on this... whatever you want to call it.

I am in the process of writing a paper for one of my classes right now. The subject of the paper is my worldview. Interesting choice for a business class I know. But if I write this paper the right way, my way, then it could prove to be one of the most important things I do while I attend college.

That is how significant this is.

While I was going through my old posts I realized just how often I changed my mind from post to post or day to day, and the evolution of my writings. I seem to have become a whole helluva lot more disillusioned with certain things. More serious. More focused. Those can be both good or bad, and may explain why the posts have slowed to the metaphorical halt of snail's slimy trail. But I can still see some of my old self in the current posts, including this one. I think over summer I forgot how to write on here but now I am slowly getting it back.

Anyways...

I need to get back to this paper and finish it before tomorrow by midnight (well technically today, but like I have said in the past, I'm not one of THOSE people).

That means I have 24 hours to fit my entire philosophy of life into a single consolidated paper.

Good luck sir.

the pick up

"So right now you can do one of two things. You can take my phone, put your number in it, and we can see what happens next. Or you can decline, and after we leave here we'll go our separate ways, lead our own lives, and never know what could have been. So... what will it be?"

that's deep

"... to know ourselves completely and to develop all the strengths that are built into us is a lifetime task. We don't need to make an imitation of someone else's life... for what is already ours is riches enough, and far more than we ever expected."

resolution

The resolution for the new year is to do anything and everything I can to become a better actor.

Also, finish a complete draft of a 100+ page screenplay.

AND...

In a side note: Ready to get back to SLO. There seems to be nothing left for me in this town anymore.

I'm ready for a new decade.

outline

Tonight I very briefly outlined a project I have wanted to start writing for awhile now. Got what I wanted in each scene jotted down and it seems like a good start.

Glad to get this down and now time to get started on the first outlined/expanded draft.

I want a 25+ page draft done by the time I start back at school, sooooooo... we'll see what happens.

The AVATAR Experience

I watched my very first IMAX movie today and film will never be the same again.

What James Cameron has done with this work can only be described as genius. It must be seen in IMAX to be fully realized just what he has accomplished.

He created a new world and showed it to this world.

Amazing.
