SPORTSNIGHT
Why can't real life be more like Sportsnight? We could all walk around and say remarkably witty things. Plus, we'd all be in good shape cause we'd walk everywhere. Even if we didn't have anywhere to go, we'd get up just to have conversations. No more sitting around in dorm rooms or apartments. We'd have to find a long hallway that wrapped around so we could go in loops just discussing anything that came to mind. And if nothing came to mind, we'd have to just rehash the same conversations over and over again. For some of us, that wouldn't be a problem.
If that doesn't sound good, think about this...most of us would be rich, and at least two of us would be on television. Sounds good to me.
DAWSON'S CREEK
Even though I had never seen an episode of the show, I actually watched Dawson's Creek today. It was okay. I didn't really know who the characters were, and it seemed a little over-dramatic, but it was good...yeah.
Oh, who the hell am I kidding. I have the first season on DVD for Christ's sake, and if you'd like to make book on whether or not I'll be buying the second and third seasons, I would not bet against it.
Anyway, I was watching "the creek" and Jen (the blonde one if you don't know character names) was talking about sex...whatelse is new. She was saying that it didn't matter that she lost her virginity at such a young age (I think she's about 15 in the first season), but then she said that within the next five years nearly one-hundred percent of her classmates would no longer be virgins. She was using this to illustrate her point, but I took it a little bit differently.
I'm still a virgin. I'd say I'm proud of it, but that's not something that one can be proud of. I think you have to actually do something to have pride in it. Not having sex wasn't really a challenge.
Anyway, if Jen's remark about nearly all 20 year olds no longer being virgins, then I'm in one hell of a minority. I'd do research to find out exactly how small the percentage is, but I don't care that much.
It's just weird to think that I have something that almost nobody else my age has. Ha ha...suckers.
...sorry
SCREENWRITING FOR DUMMIES
Last semester I took a screenwriting class to get an easy A. I checked my grades, and discovered that I got a C+ in the class. Embarrassing, yes considering that it's the career field I wish to go into. But what I can't get over is the irony...if you can even call it irony.
I took a class to get an A, and I got a C+. That's not even close. It's not like I got a B+ or a B. Then I could say "whoops guess I should have tried a little harder." I got a C friggen +. I don't know what that says to you, but to me it says that I'm a failure. Yes, I know that "F" actually means failure...but just go with me here. I suck.
I gotta pick a new profession. Stat...
ADAPTATION
Do I have an original thought in my head, my bald head? Maybe if I were happier, my hair wouldn’t be falling out. Life is short; I need to make the most of it. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I’m a walking cliché. I really need to go to the doctor and have my leg checked. There's something wrong. Oh well. The dentist called again, I'm way overdue. If I stopped putting things off, I would be happier. All I do is sit on my fat ass, if my ass wasn’t fat, I would be happier. I wouldn’t have to wear these shirts with the tails out all the time; like that’s fooling anyone. Fat ass. I should start jogging again. Five miles a day; really do it this time. Maybe rock climbing; I need to turn my life around. What do I need to do? I need to read more; improve myself. Maybe I should learn Russian or something. Or take up an instrument. I could speak Chinese. I could be the screenwriter who speaks Chinese and plays the oboe. That would be cool. I should get my hair cut short; stop trying to fool myself and everyone else into thinking I have a full head of hair. How pathetic is that? Just be real. Confident. Isn't that what women are attracted to? Men don’t have to be attractive. But that's not true, 'specially these days. There's almost as much pressure on men as there is on women these days. Why should I be made to feel like I should apologize for my existence? Maybe it's my brain chemistry. Maybe that’s what's wrong with me. Bad chemistry... all my problems and anxiety can be reduced to a chemical imbalance or some kind of misfiring synapses. I need to get help from them; but I'll still be ugly though. Nothing is going to change that.
