Good Le News

I have a second job interview tomorrow! At a different company sure but it's an interview!!! Wahoo. Not exactly a job I'm excited for but it pays better than a lot of jobs around here so yay.

I have gotten back into writing AGAIN. I wrote 800 words last night which is 300 more than my typical goal. Sometimes the words just flow out. It works especially well when you have an idea where the scene is going and you just have to let your mind free and flow through your fingers onto the screen. And yes that would have been more poetic if I had said flow through my fingers onto the page, the ink like my blood, spilling me inner most thoughts and dreams onto paper. But... I write with a friggin computer.
Who writes on paper anymore?!! It's really slow, resource expensive, and it gives you cramps. I wrote about ten pages on paper for a story a few years ago thinking I was all cool and hip 'cause I was writing like people have for thousands of years! Well guess what hipster Mike. That's stupid.
(editors note: If you use paper and pen instead of a computer you're Awesome with a capitol A. These are just the rantings of a mad fool.)

So I finally got the job of editor of this blog. Also I developed a split personality.

I'm feeling very optimistic today which translates, as just about every mood of mine does, into wanting to see a movie today. Unfortunately that is at the mercy of me lovely wife. Hmm... We shall see.

Once more into the gap!!!

Trying Not To Think

Bah.

Job hunting is one of the most demoralizing, humiliating, soul sucking ventures I have ever had the misfortune to embark on. Actually I need to correct that. DESPERATE job hunting.
So after 4 days and more money than we could afford to spend, we made it to Utah. Unfortunately all the bull crap that happened used up all of our savings so the buffer we were giving ourselves to use until we found employment has vanished. Shit.
So if anyone out in the blog-o-sphere  has a free job in northern Utah they wanna give to a great guy than let me know in the comment section. Please. For serious.

On a lighter note, religion.
I've been thinking a lot about religion lately and I've come to the conclusion that I will never come to a solid conclusion. Yep. Cop friggin out.

Finishing the last in the Eragon series. It's at a pretty awesome part so I'm gonna get of this depressing machine and go do that.

Update: Ahoy Hoy

I previously listed some movies I was excited to see. I have seen half of them. Here are my reviews.

The Dictator

Pretty trashy, not that funny. Everything with Jason Mantzoukas was good but other than that you could watch the trailers and hit all the comedy hotspots and avoid your $10.25 ticket.

The Avengers

All the hype surrounding this movie is 100% justified. It delivers exactly what it promises and I would go so far as to say it would get an E on it's O.W.Ls at Hogwarts. Not sure if I nailed that reference but hopefully you get the idea.

The Novel:

It's coming along slowly. Been busy with work and then a dirt bike accident which left me stranded on a couch watching movies all day and I would say that is almost worse because my motivation goes to almost nothing when the threat of any movie anytime is present. 

So long, farewell Texas. Not a fan.

Ahoy hoy

Ah finally back on the good shores of Blog. Which could totally be a fantastical island in a fantasy novel. Yeah I'm looking at you teen authors! Write that!
Nothing serious today, just updates.
Movies I'm NOW excited for:

-The Dictator
-The Avengers
-The Dark Knight
-Prometheus

Recent movies I would definitely suggest:

-The Five Year Engagement
-Cabin In the Woods
-Haywire
-The Hunger Games
-21 Jump Street

Bayoshe.

Smiling At Streetlights

Hey. Insert obligatory "omg havent posted forever" comment here. I've honestly just had nothing to post about. But now I do. Here's some stuff:

I keep hearing THIS song. It's alright but I keep thinking it's a song by the White Stripes. Don't know the name of that one...

I ate some ice cream that tasted real funky today. Probably going to be up tonight vomiting. Lovely. I also ate a pint last night (the same amount I ate tonight) along with tons of cheetos. Frick.

I haven't written ANYTHING in a veeerry long time for various reasons. I'm trying to start again. It's pretty hard.

I've abandoned my ill-fated first novel. Not deleting it or anything but it was going nowhere and I hated the magic system which was laced into most of what I had written. Blah.

I've gotten a few ideas for new stories. One involves unintentionally murderous children, the other involves 9-11. Yeah... I pick 'em right. Stuff EVERYONE wants to read about right? Pssh what's wrong with me haha.

Excited for some new movies.

Philosophical question. Should someone leave their stable job to explore their dreams? If it's a choice between the two, what is one to do?

That's about all I got's right now.

POEt

it bothers me how much of my reality is really just an illusion....

When All Is Said And Done

I need to post more often if only to get that stupid Shrek wedding picture off my bloody screen.

What's new? Hmm. Well I recently started working out again. That's been nice as it had been about two months since I was consistently exercising. It's coming along sloowly.

Tried watching X-Files tonight and got to freaked out being in a house that is completely unlocked. Alone except for a dog that keeps barking at nothing. With random phone calls from out of area. Not cool. Needless to say I didn't even finish the episode. Instead I watched IRON CHEF: The greatest cooking show ever!

Haven't been writing consistently either which is a bummer because near the end I was writing around a thousand words a day no sweat. Now I'm back to struggling to get my five hundred. Blah.

In parting I'd like to talk about the 2012 end of the world hooha. The Mayans said there would be an end of an era not the end of the world. But this could mean an end of the HUMAN era. Maybe it's time for another race to live on the planet. I would like to direct you to the Bloop. Please read the whole article but concentrate especially on this line:

"While the audio profile of the Bloop does resemble that of  a living creature, the source is a mystery both because it is different from known sounds and because it was several times louder than the loudest recorded animal, the blue whale"

Interesting. A sound coming from the depths of the south Pacific. What large creatures could possibly dwell there that could make a sound several times louder that the blue whale? I'm guessing the creature would ahve to be an order of magnitude larger than a blue whale to produce such a sound. But these things don't exist right? Well a good man named H.P. Lovecraft waxed poetic on the subject. He described a creature known as Cthulhu who was described thus:

"An octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature... A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque scaly body with rudimentary wings", and "a mountain walked or stumbled".

Once again I posit the opinion: Interesting. This describes Cthulhu as a terrifying creature who was compared to a mountain. We could probably safely assume that was in relation to it's size. We can also safely assume that a mountain is larger than a blue whale. Now in reference to the depths of the south Pacific I give you this:

"(Cthulhu is) a malevolent entity trapped in an underwater city in the South Pacific called R'lyeh"

It is said, if memory serves, that Cthulhu will rise from his underwater city to once again rule the earth, his rightful kingdom. I believe there is also text on the lines of him summoning the Old or Ancients Ones, to which he is a high priest, back to earth to destroy humanity.

Now an ultra low frequency underwater sound emanating from the South Pacific... Cthulhu waking up? The 12 year old in me is fighting with adult actual me to offer up the conjecture: Cthulhu farting in his sleep? 


Regardless of how old you are,I think this is some valid interesting food for thought to say the least.

I know I know. Sounds like Armageddony good times to be had by all. I suppose only time will tell.

So if that's not something to look forward to in 2012, I don't know what is. 

A face only an ancient malevolent God could love.
