-
- There's just no
way I can take myself THAT serious, for too long.
Even I see the humor in making fun of that last entry.
LOL. I was somewhat laughing when I wrote
it.
-
-
-
- LOLOLOLOLOL. Allow
me to clear up a few things and I'll move
on.
-
- Many of you asked
if I treated others the way I "demanded" in my last
entry. Of course. Being disrespectful to others just
isn't an option. You can hold me to that any day of
the week. As well, this isn't even an issue to any of
my friends. I guarantee if they were asked about me,
the whole "demands respect" thing would make them
laugh. It only comes up when the issue is FORCED. And
with friends, that just doesn't happen. As well, I was
told you have to "earn" respect. I think you're
missing the point. I earned the respect of my property
by the mere fact that I OWN it. You don't have to EARN
respect for your controllers for it to be
inappropriate to have them thrown on the ground
(another "soiree-thrower" drunken moment) - it's a
given that that's inappropriate.
-
- And speaking of
inappropriate, "soiree-thrower", excuse me,
"waiting4break" has now taken things to the next
level:
-
- "IF I WAS THAT
GUY IN YOUR APARTMENT COMPLEX,YOUR ASS WOULD HAVE
BEEN KICKED!CANT WAIT TO CHECK UP ON YOUR NEXT
SHOW,BECAUSE I WILL BE THERE!!CONSIDER THAT A
THREAT....."
-
- (sigh) Nice buddy.
What amazes me is this guy actually thinks he can fool
me into believing he's someone else. As if some
stranger would be this angry with me because
I didn't shake someone's HAND. Incredible. Am I
worried? Sure. This is the same guy who came into my
house with nunchucks when he was drunk out of his mind
trying to "show me" how fast he could go. He's
anything but stable, but there's not a lot I can do.
The world is full of people like him, and I can't
spend my time worrying about idle threats. It's an
interesting subplot, especially considering the
amazing lack of grounds for such anger. Oh well, I'm
certainly not softening my stance because of some
dimwit who can't turn off his Caps Lock key. Anyway,
Paddy and I are certainly looking forward to the next
show...
-
- So when is that?
No clue. (sigh). Getting my headshots and resumes out
for commercials and television shows has been taking
up the majority of Charlotte's time. The calls she has
made about The Trinitrons have resulted in very
little. Most places can't give up 30 minutes of time.
Face it Adam, you're an actor now. That's what I keep
telling myself. It may or may not work.
-
- The one bright
spot in the past few days has been The Chicago Comedy
Festival. Charlotte got a 10 minute preview tape to
one of the judges, and we'll find out within the next
2 weeks if I'm in. The beauty of this is the
surrounding plan if we find out I'm in. We're gonna
try to book some extra shows in Chicago, and as well 2
shows in New York for some SNL people. This would mean
I'd be driving through Columbus on my way back from NY
to LA. I'd just so happen to have my trailer with me.
I'd just so happen to be able to perform The
Trinitrons in Columbus - just once. How FREAKIN'
awesome would that be. This would all happen in May if
I get in. So here we go. Another big moment that gets
determined by some judge and a stressed out Adam
waiting for a phone call. Do I think I'll get in? As
much as I thought I'd get into Aspen - so take that as
you will.
-
- Ahh yes, Aspen. It
took place over the weekend. My head spins at how
different my life would be right now if I were just
returning from the festival. Talk about depressing. I
guess the best thing I can say now is that it's over.
It's no longer looming. Man, I can barely type what I
feel anymore can I... These entries are getting weaker
and weaker and weaker...
-
- Work continues on
The Trinitrons pilot. It's brought up a good writing
question. When writing in a team, it's can quickly
become a mini-struggle to agree on the direction of
characters and plot. A lot of defending your ideas,
justifying your position. So how do you come to an
agreement? Especially if it's something where you
can't really compromise? If one person wants to add a
trait to a character that the other person just hates.
And when the defense of your position is being judged
by the person who disagrees...how do you ever come
together? Mediator? Maybe. Ooh! That may be it. Both
people agree to stand by someone else's opinion, and
they defend their position to that person. But man,
who could possibly know the characters well enough to
be the mediator? Ahhh, the plot thickens. Even without
that - I think we've structured a great pilot so
far.
-
- Unfortunately,
that's about all that can be said. Another locked
entry is sure to follow. When will this bullshit
end.
