Not a Good Combination!

Spike and Buffy getting it on + The new Christina Aguilera song "Woohoo" + Chatting with a boy +An already sexually frustrated me = Spontaneous combustion

I want to photograph this man.

Notes to Self

(My abs hurt- hurt so good!) I promise myself that I'll continue this workout regime-working out while watching Buffy episodes.
I promise myself that I will wake up before 11 o'clock every morning. No sleeping in until 2 o'clock in the afternoon for me! No, sir! (From now on I'll put my alarm clock across the room so that I have no choice but to get up out of bed).
I promise to write- hopefully to finish Car Parts, hopefully to begin and finish a script for a short.
I promise to read for both school and myself.
I promise to college search.
I promise to enjoy life and value my summer.

Boys on the Brain

Wallowing; I want a romance.

Mood elated after seeing these!
Bill as Elvis, Jimmy Hendrix, and Buddy Holly.

Amen

A Word to the Wise/Free Formist Poetry

In school we had to compose a poem on the bases of the words "I am from." If I had mine, I would transcribe it here, however, I did not go to classes at the end of the year so... uh... it's in my writing folder somewhere in school. In the poem I basically wrote:
I am from salts-
the salts of a perspiring child in a warm car,
the salts of the mashed potatoes my father told me not to eat,
the salts of the darkroom's photo sensitive paper.
I am from light-
the light that hits your eyes as you leave the theater,
the light that exposes my frames of film
(the light from something else I can't remember right now!)
I am from humor-
(the humor of something related to Bill Murray, Demetri Martin, and someone else I can't remember right now!)
I am from comfort-
(insert something about comfort here... can't remember!)


For the most part, I enjoyed writing the free form-ey poem.
So here's something else I've been working on during the late nights I've spent in the humid forest that is the Poconos.


I am a realist,
with ideal aspirations.
I am a sweet sounding soprano,
who pines after deep "Michael C. Hall" voices.
I am crushing on funny boys and charming men,
neither of which are ever what they appear to be.
And now, I am in the forest with wet, curly hair,
taking day time naps and morning walks,
awaking in the mornings from a splendid slumber.
I am a stalker in the kitchen,
viewing the everlasting romance,
the flowers in vases,
the kisses and playful words from a grandfather to a grandmother.
I am myself and I am all those who surround me.
I am an influenced influencer.

Sexy Can I

In the movie Moon, there is an endless supply of Sam Rockwell clones on the moon? When does the next rocket leave from Earth? How soon will I arrive there?


Note to self: Watch Matchstick Men, Galaxy Quest, and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind!!!

Da Mici

I'm not too sure what my dad has against Demetri Martin. It's a weird complex my father has, maybe. He claims that Demetri is corny.
"That guys is in this thirties?!" my dad questions. "And what's up with that big pad?" He'll continue.
"Large pad," I sigh.
Get this, I tell a joke and, with the prior knowledge that Demetri has composed this joke, my father does not laugh.
However, once (without this knowledge) I told my father "A dreamcatcher works... if your dream is to be gay." And can you believe it?! My father creacks up. I also tell him that "glitter is the herpes of all craft supplies" and he keels over with laughter saying it is the funniest thing he has heard. And, after I tell the joke, I admit, "Demetri says that!"
"Oh that Demetri," he pokes.
Why does my father have such a problem with him? I had one of the best nights of my life at Demetri's show! I just don't know. All I know is that I'll be watching Important Things With Demetri Martin wheter my father approves of not.

Dedication Blog

Favorite Bill Murray Movie: Any classic Murray (being Stripes, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day) as well as any new age Murray (The Razor's Edge, Rushmore).
Why: Choosing only one seems an impossible task! I'm a dedicated Bill Murray fan; I love all of his work (well, for the most part I love all his work- I really don't enjoy a select few of his movies including Speaking of Sex, Hamlet, and I'm on the fence about The Man Who Knew Too Little).

Favorite Bill Murray Performance: Stripes as John, The Razor's Edge as Bob, Ghostbusters as Peter, GROUNDHOG DAY! as Phil, Lost In Translation as Bob
Why: (I'm going to pretend that 3 of these 5 movies do not make me cry). In my opinion, as an actor, Bill has always had two sides to him. First and foremost- the funny man. Secondly (and this is why I love him), Bill isn't always just "funny guy haha laugh at me look what I did", but, as we have seen in his performances such as The Razor's Edge, Lost In Translation, Broken Flowers, and Rushmore, he can be a man down on life, a man depressed. I've always applauded him for this because I can truly relate- having a sense of humor but also admitting that humor isn't always evident in my personality; sadness takes over even the best of us.

Believe it or not, Osmosis Jones was the first DVD I watched. However, I consider Stripes to be my first Murray movie; this is because it was the first movie in which I was aware that Bill was the main character; in Osmosis Jones I had no idea who that disgusting guy was! It was Father's Day of 2009 and AMC was having a Bill Murray marathon- playing Ghostbusters 1, Ghostbusters 2, Caddyshack, and Stripes. It was pretty late at night and my dad saw that Stripes was on. As we began the film, my dad admitted that this was the first movie he had seen that had breasts in it; he went to the theater with his dad when Stripes was released (something I am still jealous about to this day. Although, now that I think about it, it's now like I've never had a "Murray movie in the theater" experience). It was a school night (yeah, school was still going on by Father's Day that year) and I stayed up to watch the movie until 12 something. I checked the info to find that some hunk named "Bill Murray" played John Winger...

And so began a long succession of Murray movies. Binging and purging on '70s SNL episodes, discovering the culture of the late '70s, of the early '80s, becoming acquainted with Gilda Radner and John Belushi, becoming reacquainted with a younger, charming, goofy Chevy Chase and an ever intelligent, always thoughtful and precise Dan Aykroyd.

I know it'll last all of my life- taking out time to watch a Murray movie when I'm upset or need a laugh. And, let me tell you, my parents sure saw this, too. I completed the entirety of his career on SNL within months and I'm still working on viewing, too, the entirety of his acting career. I've seen the copious amount of Dave Letterman interviews staring Bill (did you know that, when Dave's show premiered in 1982, Bill was the very first guest?).

And soon the time came when I received what I still believe to be one of the best gifts I've ever received. First, the act of giving this gift was completely spontaneous. Larissa had found Bill Murray's biography at some random used bookstore. Can you believe that I had never known that he wrote a book until I had it in me hands! It was perfect. I love that book... probably because I can imagine Bill saying everything in it (the last sentence of the book is "Shouldn't I be wetter?" I mean, C'MON! It's prime Bill Murray).

"The closer you get to the bars, the more interesting the animals. It's hard to be sure which side of the rope holds the animals, but fair to say there is wildlife on both sides."

"Or perhaps your manhood says you gots to have a throw-down with any dude be sporting a positron-accelerator backpack and ain't afraid to use it on no eleven-story marshmellow figure; then you just bring it on, homey, bring it on!"

The book really is a great read. My sister doesn't think so... but I don't think she's very interesting. Just messing.

At this point in my story, I'm not quit sure which Murray movies I have seen and which I haven't. But let's assume that I have just seen Meatballs on Comedy Central. Bill's first movie. Such a goofy flick but it also marks the beginning of the notorious Murray speech- the part of many of his movies in which he delivers a motivational sentiment to his peers. Murray gets wild- yelling and screaming, telling the camp that even if they do win the upcoming marathon, the enemy team will get all the hot girls anyway! "It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter," he chants. And soon the entire cast is in an uproar, loudly chanting "It just doesn't matter."
Now, let's also assume that I have now just seen the wonderful The Razor's Edge. What a movie! It really changed my life. It never fails- when I become utterly depressed, I turn on The Razor's Edge. "Will I see you again?" Murray's co-star asks him; she loves him but the feeling is no longer mutual. "You just don't get it!" Murray tells his co-star. He puts his hands around her throat and playfully shakes her neck back and forth as he repeats himself. "You just don't get it," he says in a whisper. He allows his hands to fall by his sides as he says, "It just doesn't matter."

Haiku:
"Trying to get sleep
Chant 'It just doesn't matter'
Bill's words in my head"

I feel like Michael Cera :[

First, from Youth In Revolt:

Nick, I feel your pain. You can't get that certain someone you want....

And I find that I may end up doing the same thing as you- I'm comtemplating my own creation of "a supplementary persona called Francois Dillinger."

Second, from Paper Heart:

A little synopsis for the MCera deprived movie-goers: Charlyne (seen in the grey) wants to find love. In the movie, a documentary on love, Charlyne meets Mike Cera at a party and her director sets the two up, in a way. Which now leads us to the photo above. Fast forward further into the movie and Charlyne says, "I'm just sad that he wants me to love him but I can't. I can't. I can't just lie and pretend that I love him."
Neither do I feel bad for Mike; the documentary doesn't really show his side of things. However, I'm relating to his situation in a way- recieving mixed signals but having such a strong connection with someone.

PAPER HEART IS PLAYABLE ON NETFLIX!
I'm going to go watch it again <3
