Makin' progress!

Yesterday, after a lunch meeting with my friend Kayte, I finished the details on the script, got it registered and sent it out to those who want to work on the film. Today more and more people are asking me for a part hehe.

I have 10 episodes planned, as well as a holiday special (either this year or next) and 6 stories in mind so just 4 more stories and they don't seem to be hard to dream up.

Eric and I found the PERFECT costumes for us last night! Oh they are EXACTLY what I was thinking and EXACTLY what Eric was thinking, funny when things just fall into place.

OMG, Eric showed me his Halloween costume (what he as of it so far) , it is FABULOUS! Way cool and I couldn't stop laughing. He truly is one of the funniest and most creative people I have ever known.

We plan to go out tonight to do a lil more shopping for our costumes :)

What's wrong and what's write?

Writing has always been a big part of my life. From journals to short stories to poems, lyrics and scripts. It has always been a fun hobby which I've always enjoyed.

Life is just different when I'm not writing. I am very glad to be back into it now.

With a script out to agents for circulation, another one in process and now making this series for Youtube with a bunch of close friends, life just couldn't be better!

My friend Eric is coming up from the OC to stay with me for about 4 days. It'll be nice to bounce ideas off of each other for costumes for the series (as well as for Halloween!)

Speaking of Halloween, I can't believe it is only a month away! Eric's costume is going to be *SO* amazing, I get a sneak peek this weekend! As far as my costume, well I am thinking on testing out a costume from our series (there are a few reasons for this). It won't be as fabulous as my Pumpkinhead, Katrina or Roy costumes, but it'll be fun and I get to re-use it over and over again for our series.

Hmm, I've been missing my family more and more lately. I've got to find time to break away and go back home. It is real tough right now with some projects ending at work and others just beginning (that's when things are really hectic). Speaking of which, I should end this post, I've finished my hot lemon water so now on to work.

xoxo,
Eric

Heaven is for Brown Nosers

Ask any religious person you know. Why do they follow the 10 Commandments, Jesus's teachings or what is written in the Quran? Simple. They follow them to get into Heaven. Or at least the try too...

Out of all the different kinda of people I met met in my life (more often than not, with a few excepts) Atheists have been the most kind and compassionate. They perform good deeds and are good people just for the sake of being good.

Religious people have it all wrong. They perform their good deeds (often times aren't very good at all) so they can get into Heaven, Live forever, get their 40 virgins etc. All they really are doing is kissing up to God, doing what he wants in order to get something out of it for themselves.

If there was a God and I was him, I would smite all of them. Be a good person for the sake of being one and not for the purpose of seeing how many browny points you can score with the old man that sits on a cloud. No one, after all, likes a brown noser.

"My Eric, what prompted this rant?", you may ask.

This just spurred out of a conversation I had with my friend Sheldon at the gym yesterday. We thought it'd be a hoot to create "Heaven is for Brown Nosers" bumper stickers.

Project X update!

The script has gone out for review! I may have a few minor changes to make, but for the most part it is done!

I have been planning costume designs with Eric and we plan to have them completed in a few weeks.

Also, I need to purchase "Final Cut Studio 2" for my Mac. That is a $1,300 purchase but John said I could use his student discount and get it for 700! Whew!

So, I have a few weeks to learn editing and special fx on it.

I also need to create an opening and closing theme song (using garage band on my Mac).

I am going to create a production schedule in MS Project for all of this.

The excitement is in the air and everyone on board with the project is very excited about doing it!

The Mac really is making this all possible! For years I've always dreamed of doing a project like this...and it have it filmed all digitally in 1080 HD with real special effects...it's more than I could ask for! And Youtube offers the perfect place for it to be seen world wide!

Til next time,

Hot Pants!!!!

When I got back from the gym on Saturday, I tried on my special t-shirt for Disneyland. It fit just the way I wanted so I am very happy. So, out of fun, I pulled out my old Hot Pants (Or "Fuck Me Pants" as I affectionately call them).

Now, I haven't been able to fit in these pants in 6 or so years. They just remained tucked away with special care (Just like Indiana Jones's Lost Ark). But Saturday, I pulled them out and put them on and they fit!!! I could button every button on the button fly without even having to jump up and down or inhale! haha

When I looked in the mirror, there is was, a nice tight bouncy butt. Yay. My Hot Pants are back!

Well, I couldn't very well put them back in the closet after all this time. I had to take them out for a spin! They results were very good :) I am very excited!

I had a haircut early that morning before the gym also, so I was particularly feeling fabulous.

Me and my friend Steve went to the mall and whilst in the mall, we ran into some people I used to know. It was a little odd talking to them after a few years, but I was glad I was in my hot pants haha.

Late Saturday we went to Fuel for a drink. It was fun to go there and laugh.

I can't wait until October when my dating season officially begins!

Anyways, Sunday I decided after 2 weeks of the gym everyday, to take a day off. I just stayed in and did nothing. I watched Raiders of the Lost Ark and treated myself to Indian food.

That's about it for now. Sorry for the vain Hot Pants post, it is just exciting for me to reach this important milestone, as I thought I was still some poundage away from fitting into them.


As for my "Project X" movie project: I got Guy to sign on and Sheldon's daughter and dog!

Umpa Lumpa Baby?!

As you know, I've been getting my 2oz Wheat grass shot followed by a "power size(large)" Carrot/Orange juice.

Well I just got out of the bathroom from dropping one of the kids off at the pool and low and behold, it was bright orange! It was almost as if an Umpa Lumpa had an abortion in the toilet.

I guess it was a particularly randy poop cuz my cell phone went into call speed dial mode and called someone I had no interest in talking to, so when I got back to my desk, I removed all speed dial entries.

My phone seem to frequently dial them on its own, so sorry to all who have gotten one. I think John got one a few days ago from Doodle.

Umpa Lumpa Doobba Dah Dee...

I broke the barrier!!!!

This morning. I broke that hard to breach 170s barrier!

I now weigh in the 160s! I am sure I would have broken it a bit back if I also wasn't putting on a lot of muscle at the same time I am losing fat.

I can now fit into clothes I haven;t been able to fit into in a long time and I can now tight my belt two more notches!

I actually have a V shape now, with my chest and upper back getting more muscular and my love handles shrinking.

Fabulous!

Hard work and dedication is all it takes, just like anything else in life.

Physically, I actually feel much better (with eating better and doing the gym 1.5 hours every day). It's not even considered a shore, I love going to the gym. I have having a lot of fun with it!

Let's see, what else is happening.

Tuesday was the finale of Big Brother. My friend Richard came over and we spent a few hours chatting and then watched it. He was lucky and got to go to the wrap party.

Thursday, I hung out with another friend and helped him with his resume and interview preparation.

I am just a page away from finishing the 1st draft script of the new project I am working on. Yay! Write, write, write as my friend Kayte says!

Tonight, I am going to finish the script and hang out with my friend Eric.

Lots 'o good schtuff! It's a beautiful life!

Time to make a movie!

Lately, I have been addicted to watching various films on "Youtube" and I got to thinking, Hell, I have an HD camcorder. I have a great Mac I can easily edit on, I even write scripts! What am I doing not putting it all together?!

So I have decided to create a series of short films for Youtube. I have already reserved the domain name for them. They will be a comedy series of 10 short films, 5 mins. in length.

I already have a list of people (and a dog!) who are willing to play characters and film etc.

The original plan is to release one short a month starting sometime in November.

I will reveal more details later.

This is going to be a lot of fun and I am SO looking forward to being creative with a film camera. The last time I did any sort of project with a camera was back in the 90s with a series called "Cheap0 VD0z". It'll be great to get back into it.

Will anything become of it? Who knows! Who cares! It's all done just for fun. It is a hobby and it'll be great fun putting it together!

Gotta love candles!

In preparation on getting my new living room tables, I stopped in Urban Home after the gym on Sunday and bought myself something fabulous for my soon-to-be new coffee table!

I wanted a bunch of pillar candles to put on it. But it couldn't just be candles, it needed to be more of a presentation, so I bought a nice wooden snack tray to put them on. It still needed something a lil more to give it that extra lil somethin'. I looked around the store and found a jar of large grain white sand and another jar of some nice looking rock. I exclaimed, "Fabulous!" and scooped everything up!

When I put it together, it was just like I imagined it would be! A nice peaceful lil spot of meditation. It keeps in line with the theme I want for my place. To have nice interesting things to look at everywhere. Simple, clean reminders of nature; love it!

A packed weekend full o' fun!

This weekend was very socially busy as I expect them to be in the coming months.

Aside from keeping up my deal of exercising everyday, I hung out with different sets of friends all weekend. It was nice to bounce all around.

I went to a party held in honor of my old boss Mike. It was nice to see some folks I haven't seen in a while as well as those I see quite often. The night was full of laughs.

I hugn out with my friend Guy. It was his Birthday so I promply took him to Burke Williams and got him a massage. :)

I saw a play in Hollywood called "Burn This" with my friend Gil. It was a little long but I enjoyed it. I love going out and seeing live shows.

I also hung out with my friend Steve. We watched the Emmys which were a bit boring but we had fun watching stuff on youtube during them. Gotta love Evie!

I did a bit of fabulous shopping too.

All is going well on the gym front. I'm actually having more people approach and flirt with me. That is a nice change :)

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

From Black to White

In recent years, I have been working to get rid of dark influences and negative energy, it began with getting rid of my black furniture and revamping my place, to cutting myself off from negative people. So I figured, why shouldn't it also apply to my blog? So, I changed the color from black to white.

I believe myself to be more of a white color now than a black color.

Black is the absence of color - A fresh clean slate. The universe waiting to have it's Big Bang.

White is all the colors. And after all, we are products of our experiences and choices. Good and bad. I bath in the white light. I have lived life. I have seen the world, fell in love, fell out of love, made friends, lost friends. I have celebrated by good aspects and made them better. I have confronted my bad aspects and purged them.

Life is a work in progress and the living, the celebrating and confronting will most likely go on until I leave this Earth. But I know this. I love who I am. And as I grow older my celebrations grow more and my confrontations diminish.

Wow, I've been writing too much of my new screenplay *shakes head* although I meant everything I said in this post, I didn't mean to ramble. I just wanted to say I changed the color of my blog. :)

*Raises glass* To the color white! To all the diverse colors that make it. For without them, we'd be lost in the blackness forever.

Back to hardcore...

...after some time of dickin' around. I am back to being focused.

I sent out my query letter for Tarot to an agency, so we'll see what they say. People say to expect 1,000 sorry but no thanks before you get one that says yes, so we'll see how it goes, but I'm hopeful. :)

After taking a week off from the gym (Terry visit don'tcha know), I am back at the gym and loving it! 1.5 hours every day until gayday then I will cut it to 5 days a week until Halloween then stay at 3-4 to maintain.

My daily menu until October 6th consists of:

1 glass of hot lemon water sweetened with Steveia Plus
10 almonds

2oz shot of wheatgrass
Large glass of carrot/orange juice

3/4 pound of chicken breast seasoned only with cummin seed, garlic and ginger

I am also taking a multi vitamin and calcium/magnesium pills

Fabulous!

This is to jumpstart my body even further than before so I can "officially" start my new dating season in October.

The man with a plan,
-E :)

Boopie visit!

Welp,

Last Wednesday Boopie came into town! I picked him up at the airport and, per his request, went straight to Bingo!

We joined a few of my other friends there and stayed for the first round of games. He came close to winning several times!

We had a great visit as always! Although, I ate pretty badly when he was here (but it was so much fun!!)

We saw a great Israeli movie called "The Bubble". It was a great movie but I didn't liek the ending....

Anyways, it was a short visit, just Wednesday to this morning. Always sad when he leaves, but he'll be back soon!

I booked my hotel for Gaydays at Disneyland tonight too! I booked 2 nights at the Howard Johnson's which is literally right across the street from the entrance! Now we can do the clubs afterwards and just walk back to the room :)

It'll be so much fun, I am SO looking forward to it. My friend Guy is going to come now too!

'Til next time

Hot! Hot! Hot!!!

Boy, Howdy! It's been way too hot here!

The heat really makes me slow down...

I did still manage to hang out with friends. I love it when Steve and I hang out, it's like hanging out with a friend when you are younger. Listening to music and copying songs :) I also scanned in some more cover art.

I spent a lot of time in the pool this weekend. I am so glad to have one that is just a few feet away from my door. My neighbors make it fun too. It's great to live in a place where most of the people are very friendly. I was even really careful not to get a sunburn this time!

I did some research on Sunday for agents, that went pretty well but time consuming. I was thinking about having a cookout (or BBQ as they call it here in Cali) but it was just too hot and I really had to get some other things done. I am planning on having a big game night soon. That should be fun. :)

I had breakfast with Guy too. It was nice to catch up with him, it had been a bit since we hung out some. We always have a good time hanging out together. We went to this organic Belgium place. Maaaaan, I had the best waffle I ever had in my whole life! Mmmm!!!

Things are great on other fronts too. I am really working hard on the whole writing thing and health (the gym and eating better). I am excited for the Fall though. The heat will be gone and I will be out and about more (hoping that all this research I'm doing will be over soon).

Welp, just a brief update as I have to get to work.

Til next time,
Lots of Love,
-E
