Labels

Hey everyone. I have been working feverishly to get all of the previous posts labeled so that they can be easily accessed. With labels, you can click on a topic of interest, and see all posts related to that topic. I assign the labels, and I have been working hard to make sure that I have everything labeled so that everyone can access it, and we dont have to dig deep in the archives to find something. Hope you use them. Read the archives!

Almost done

Well folks, I'm almost done with my first day of summer school. I'll try to keep you all posted, but today has been extremely depressing, so I cannot guarentee that I will post anymore once I get home. I'll probably take a nap and chat with some friends on the phone. Unless they are all working. I know Rach isn't, but Pete might be. Well l8r.

Bored out of my mind

Hey everyone. I just wanted to say hi. It is truly amazing that I am halfway through the first day. I am so incredibaly bored. I am out of my mind. To be honest I'm so bored I wouldn't mind if I got some extra work. At least it would be something to do. I noticed this with my previous teacher; in summer school, they give way too much time for assignments. As a result, the flunkies are encouraged to be lazy and the people that actually do work, like me, are bored out of their minds. It is kind of cold in here as well. I'm in expository writing. It's a class that is supposed to teach us how to write, but I don't really think that I'm going to learn anything here, if the first three hours is any indication. I wish everyone the best. I'm writing this on my break, and I'm trying to write very quickly because I only have 15 minutes to do this. That being said, please ignore any spelling or grammar mistakes. This won't be the first time that I make a mistake like that. I hope you all are haveing a much better day than I am having. Bye.

Yahoo! Answers

Hello again. I just wanted to say kudos to Yahoo! for their outstanding service Yahoo! Answers. I am angry that it is the reason that Yahoo! is discontinuing their Ask Yahoo! newsletter, but I am happy that Yahoo! has come out with their Answers service. They had a cool promotion where they send out free tote bags to anyone who signed up for Yahoo! Answers and pledged to be enviornmentally friendly and help out with the enviornment section of the site. I did that, and I got a nifty tote out of the deal. I have answered many questions in the enviornmental section, and I got free lightbulbs sent to me as part of the deal. So that's pretty cool. That's pretty much all I wanted to talk about in this post, so I'll write to you all later. Bye! PS: Read the archives!

The New Class

This new class is incredably boring. At least with the old class, I had entertaining people in the class to pass the time. This class is going very slowly. I'm trying to pass time over the break by writing this and doing stuff on Yahoo! Answers. L8r

Back in Summer School

Hey everybody. I'm back in summer school. Blah.

My Time Filming Literally

Just in case you didn't read the previous post I wrote before the filming, Literally is a biblical satire about a guy that convinces a group of churchgoers to take the bible literally. Anyway I was an extra. It was so much fun. We filmed in downtown Detroit near the Wayne State University campus. The filming was a lot of fun, but I had to sit in a church pew for like three hours watching the same two scenes being practiced and then filmed over and over again. It was very educational though because I learned all about how the movies are filmed. I was sitting behind some of the speaking parts, so I'm sure that I will end up in the final cut of the movie. I am so excited because I will get to go to a special cast/crew screening, and I'll get a free copy of the film on DVD. I also got to meet a bunch of cool people. I met Chloe Greenfield and her mom. You might or might not recognize Chloe from the movie 8 Mile. She played Eminem's daughter. You might have also recognized her from the TV show ER. She plays John Stamos's daughter. To be honest, when I saw her on the cast list, and saw that she did all of those major parts, I expected her to be your stereotypical spoiled child star. Instead I was surprised to find out that she was an unspoiled, regular girl. Her mom was so funny too. They were both very nice, and I look forward to seeing the entire cast and crew again at the screening.

Pete's Graduation

Just wanted to give a shoutout to my friend Pete who just had his graduation party yestreday. It was fun, and I got to see some other friends as well. Sometime, I'll get teh time to write a post about my time filming Literally, but I have to go right now, so I can't. Bye! READ THE ARCHIVES! :)

Summer School Update

Hey everyone. I just thought that I would take this opportunity to give you guys an update on how summer school is going. It has had some conflict, but I think that the replaced grade will be worth it. I definately don't want to do this again! More to come.

Sex With Emily Podcast

I have been listening to the Sex with Emily podcast recently, and I've found it to be very entertaining. It's the podcast version of the live radio show that airs in San Francisco. I would recommend that you check it out. I have to say that it's fairly liberal, although you could guess that based on the fact that I mentioned earlier: "airs in San Francisco". ;)

Fast Food Nation

I just saw Fast Food Nation and let me tell you, it was the sickest, most disturbing movie that I have ever seen. Frankly I think that with the amount of blood and gore in that movie, it should be banned from distribution. It was rated "R", but let me tell you, I had to fast forward through a lot of the movie because they showed all of the graphic details of how the cattle were slaughtered. The movie should be rated "NC-17" or maybe even "X" This movie is sickening, and I sincerely hope that you don't ever have to watch it. I won't be getting much sleep tonight. It was definately not advertised as a violent movie. I was appalled and disgusted

Schedule

Well my schedule is weird right now. I have never gone to school in the summer so I feel jaded when I get home. I would rather have something to do. I don't really know. This is so weird. Summer school is scheduled so that it doesn't take all day but it takes up enough of your day to keep you from enjoying it. It's four days/week which makes it even worse because if it was 5 of better yet 6 days a week, it would not be so prolonged throughout the summer.

No more summer vaca

Well you guys my summer vacation lasted a good three weeks, but now it's over. I am going to summer school. After summer school lets out I have one week of preparation before school starts. My three week summer vacation is now over. I have to laugh at it. To be honest I don't really mind summer school because I get credit in my classes. My parents claimed that they would let me drive my grandmothers car if I passed all of my summer school classes. I'm sure that I will because the teachers are easy, and I look like a genius in comparison to many of the other people that are taking summer school this year. I will never really be driving my grandmother's car. I know my parents well enough that they will figure out a way so that they can keep me working without letting me drive the car. I don't mind though because I don't need to drive anywhere. There isn't anywhere to go. My life seems so depressing when I look at it from the outside. I see a kid that used to have dreams of driving until he found out that driving isn't worth half of the shit that comes along with it. Car payments, taxes, forget it! Right now I'm focused on getting into a college far from home. I have recently taken up jogging to get out of the house. It's a nice break, but when it's 90 de-fucking-grees, it's absolutely impossible to do anything but sit on my ass. I'm not in a good mood today if that isn't obvious. I suppose that it's good that I'm venting this out of my system, but I'm still pissed off that nothing is going to change. I think that I am going to try very hard this upcoming year to get outstanding grades so that I won't get stuck in this shitty situation again.

ITS SO F---ING HOT!!!

This is ridiculous. My parents refuse to get air conditioning. To be honest we're wasting money because I'm taking 6 showers a day to stay cool. That's got to cost money. It has to be 90 degrees here.

Hey everybody.

I'm at lunch right now. Yes I'm in summer school because I have to repeat Bio because I did terribly in the class. Got to go.

funny stuff

I just read this hilarious line:
You can choose your friends, but you're stuck with
the jokers you have to call family.
How great is that?

Casting Call Y'all

Hey everybody. I recently answered a casting call to be an extra in a short film called Literally. I am so excited to be a part of the project. I'll probably only have my hair in the shot for like three seconds. Even so, I will be so excited because it's the first project that I have worked on that isn't a no-budget thing. The first one to be released for distribution to the general public. So check out the website! Have a great evening. By the way it films on Saturday July 14, so I'll be able to write all about it then.
