I WANT TO LOOK GOOD NAKED

That's all I want. Honestly. I don't want to lose weight. I don't want to be muscular. I don't even necessarily want to be more "cut".

I just want to look good naked. Obviously some of these things will be involved in looking good in my birthday suit, but they are not the end result, as much as the means to an end.

I've started jogging. When we get the pool going I'll be swimming. I play hockey twice a week. And my diet consists of Lean Pockets and Special K. I'm miserable.

I'm doing all this for a reason though. I don't feel like getting into it right now, but there's a reason. Trust me.

Just wait. I'll tell you all about it later.


A SAD TRUTH

If I spent every cent of every dollar that I earn over the summer on DVDs, I still won't have all the movies that I want.

And I already have over a hundred movies...


MOVIES

Since I've been home I've bought six movies: Mystic River, Trainspotting, Empire Records (the regular version), A Life Less Ordinary, Elephant, and Surf Ninjas. At this rate I'll return to school with no less than twenty new movies.

God I need help.


A SAD REALIZATION

I realized the other day that both The Manchurian Candidate and it's remake were directed by guys named John. Moments later I realized that nobody on planet Earth would care but me.


ELEPHANT

I'm not sure, but I think that Elephant is visually the best movie I've ever seen. And if it's not, it's certainly up there.


SCREENPLAY

I spent three hours today working on my screenplay. That's why everything I'm writing here is only a sentence or two long. I'm pooped out. As illustrated by the fact that I can't come up with anything more creative or accurate to describe the situation other than "pooped out."

I plan on having the first draft, which is really about the thirtieth draft, done in a month and a half. Anybody want to read it? I know I wouldn't want to.

NEXT TIME ON WILL'S BLOG:

Breakfast Club, My Wardrobe, and The Video Store Girl.

By the way, this isn't a ripoff of Clark's blog. Just a not so personal reminder of what I want to write about.



It's only been two days and I already miss Renee. I don't know how Adam does it...

MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS

I just got back from the weekend at Renee's. It was great. We saw some Shakespeare and went to a museum. I'd actually never been to a museum, and I thought it would make me feel intellectual. Actually it was just really boring. Sorry Caleb.

Truth be told, it didn't really matter what we did. I would have been perfectly happy sitting around watching paint dry and listening to her dogs growl at each other. The important thing is that I was with her. And I know people say that all the time, but I really mean it. I really like that girl.

Really.

HOCKEY

The Flames lost the Stanley Cup and all of Canada's hopes died with them. I played my first hockey game in over two years and got an assist. Granted we lost in a shootout, but I got that assist goddamn it.


CAMP MAPLE-RIDGE

As many of you know, the one thing that I try to do while I'm at home is not run into anybody that I went to high school with. It's terribly awkward and I hate it.

Tonight I ran into a girl that I went to high school with. Actually I went to school with her from first til twelfth.

She didn't recognize me, or at least she pretended she didn't. Thank God.

Oh, and if anyone can tell me what the title of this section is in reference to I'll give them a dollar. Adam...not so fast.


INTERNET EXCLUSIVE

I first saw the Garden State Internet Exclusive trailer a week ago. Since then I've seen it at least a dozen times. I love it. And I think it might be better than the first. Or maybe I'm just tired of the first. It's really hard to say.

After seeing it that many times, you think I'd get tired of it...but no. And the truth of the matter is that every time I watch it the way that Natalie Portman says "retarded" just gets hotter and hotter. I know that's not a very hot word, but she makes it work.

If I had one night with that girl, she'd be walking like a newborn deer the next morning. I shit you not.

Don't tell Renee.


THE TRAIN

Riding the train from St. Louis to Lee's Summit, I saw a guy with three...count them three...neck tattoos. I laughed. The girl next to me looked at me weird.

Yeah, like that's never happened before.


SHAKESPEARE

'Tis a fault I will not change for your best virtue.
I am weary of you.

...I'm sure you can figure it out.
