Whining And Complaining
This applies to EVERYONE: I started this thing to put down how I feel about things at a certain time. When I want to talk, but feel like I can't. It's really just that simple. If you don't like it, I'm sorry. I'm not out to make anyone feel like they're being put down. If you feel that way, there must be some truth in what I'm saying.

Song of the Day: "Determined" - Mudvayne
Hey, Teen Titans is on. Hell yeah.
Tonight was a bad night. I was actually "on" tonight, or at least I felt like I was, and didn't sell anything out of eight tonight. The fact that they were all students softens the blow, but it still hurts.
A few things to address since the last post:
1. Night Of The Living Loaf
I understand where Nix and Quill are coming from. I understand we have no budget, mainly because none of us has too much expendable income. The only person to contribute monitarily so far has been Nix. It also seems that most everyone has become non-committal to the project, the shine of a new Bug-Juice flick having worn off because we didn't move on it right away. It's been almost a year since we all sat together in my living room and had our first unofficial meeting. Dave has since said that, because of school, he might be rather wishy-washy about his LEAD role in the film. Exactly what we (as in Nix and myself, more so Nix) were afraid of.
I may not act it, but I'm fucking pumped about doing this. For those of you that know me, I don't really show excitement too well.
2. S.P.I.T.
Yes Nix, you are correct. On the occasions I've spoke to Corey I've told him about how "wrong" his behavior was on that night at Wagners. He understands, and hopefully in the future he won't do it again. There might not be a future, however, seeing as the only nights I seem to be in town recently (Monday and Tuesday, the same two days he's not working) he spends at Wagners getting drunk and playing on his unofficial dart league. I get text messages from him at one in the morning, not really telling me anything except that he's drunk.
This is also something I've wanted to do for a long time, I just never knew anyone that shared the same enthusiasm. Plus I've never had access to a place that was "haunted".
3. Brainshift
Well, here's where I really don't know what to say. I suppose the only thing holding me back here is my own laziness. I've known for some time that Joe B. has had a disc of new material ready for me, but I haven't called him about it. Nix has told me about a couple of people (ie. record companies; bands) I could send some of my finished material to, but I haven't done it. I left him in charge of it, and it hasn't gotten done. That's my fault. It's my shit and I should be man enough to send it.
I suppose my whole thing is: What if they don't like it?
So that's that.
My left foot has been bothering me a lot recently. Almost to the point where I can't really walk on it too well. I don't know if I pulled a muscle or I have a knot, but it's been like this for about a week. If it doesn't let up, I might have to go see a doctor about it.
Lastly, I know we have the Mega-Forum, but I have re-opened my forum board again. Some of the topics are the same as on the Mega-Forum (unavoidable) but there are also some other topics that might interest you. I dunno. Give it a shot.

"I suppose my whole thing is: What if they don't like it?"
Exactly my point. The whole reason I suggested it was so you could get some good feedback as to what they thought was good AND bad. We're talking about guys that have been doing this for OVER 15 YEARS!!!! You need them to be completely honest.

Re: The Dave situation.
I don't think many people understand how much we have done and how difficult it is and how much more difficult it can (and will) get. If someone is already stating this, it is a bad sign.
The terrible trio of me, you and Quill need to have another meeting asap. Not just about that, but to bring you back into the whole process. Me and Quill have been hashing things out, lately.
And I have a book that BOTH of you should read. (Nix looks over at Quill, in particular.) But it's the best one I've found. Even better than Make Your Own Damn Movie, dude. And fun, as well.

This all goes back to the thing I said in your last blog about us not having this film-making thing as our main focus in life – we all have jobs, we all have lives outside this thing, so we’re going to have to completely accept the fact that although this movie is certainly important, it’s not always going to be able to TAKE importance at all times. We will get this done, but likely not at a constant and quick pace like we originally thought.
Nix, per our conversation yesterday, I’m coming from the standpoint of that I don’t want to ask for too many favors, or favors that are unnecessarily huge. I understand the concept that we are to consider ourselves film-makers, and we’re to do what needs to be done, but you’ve got to understand that how we work this is not going to be how it’s “supposed” to work in the real film world. Let me handle it.
Scott, to put it simply – if you want this Brainshift thing to progress in any way for you, you’re going to have to DO something about it. You’re absolutely guaranteed to fail if you don’t try at all with it. You have the benefit of knowing someone who knows people of use to you – don’t let that go to waste for the mere sake of laziness and stagnation. I know that dislike of your job causes you to want to just chill out and not work when you’re home or off, but that’s NOT going to get the ball rolling.
On the whole ghost-hunting thing: just like the Meatloaf flick, it's not something you can seriously dedicate all your time to. It sounds like you may be more serious about it than Corey is, and if that's the case, strike out on your own and hook up with Corey whenever he decides to do it with you. The lack of Corey shouldn't stop you from pursuing this thing if you're really up for it. Hell, call ME, I'd be totally down for it. (Remember, you and I DO have a history - and a rather sordid and candid one at that - with this kind of stuff.)
