Rainy Day Music

A rainy Sunday afternoon is almost as good as a sunny Saturday afternoon in the fall when there’s nothing at all you have to be doing. I can’t say that it’s better, but it’s definitely as good. Or how about, it’s just different and I like them both? I just put some tunes on and now I’m thinking maybe I should go for a drive somewhere. I like listening to music when I’m driving. Yeah, I really like these kinds of days a lot.

Last night I finally saw I Heart Huckabees. Jason Schwartzman is one of my favourite actors. I actually met him about a month ago and I have a really funny story about what happened, but this probably isn’t the time to get into it. I’m starting to think I’d rather be out driving around somewhere, just listening to some rainy day kind of music and drinking a coffee. Honestly, I never have days anymore where I feel super kicked back and not at all overwhelmed by thoughts of all the stuff I should be getting done.

With the new season coming up and the film projects we are continuing to try and develop, I just always feel like I gotta keep at it. I can’t help but think that the next six months are going to make or finally break this little dream of mine to really get this TV show thing off the ground or at least out from under it.

See, now I’m getting all freaked out again! Screw this, I’m going for that drive and getting a coffee! I love this rainy day feeling and no blog is all of a sudden going to mess it all up for me. Later!

Nothin Doin'

Little bit of a late night last night and although it's kind of a nice day out there and I usually enjoy being outside on a Saturday afternoon, like this in October, right now I don't feel like doing anything at all! So that's what I've been doing all afternoon until now and unless writing this blog can be considered actually doing something, I plan on continuing to do nothing for the remainder of the afternoon as well.

I suppose I could start thinking about washing some of the dirty clothes that are lying in a huge pile on my floor right now, or at least pick out the cleanest towel from the dirty towel pile, so that I can have a shower in a little bit, but why ruin a perfect afternoon of doing nothing? I think on my last blog, I mentioned something about getting more organized and looking through stuff I've written down on these yellow legal pads over the last few years. The problem is there are tons of them and the more I read them, the more I start wondering all over again what the hell I'm doing, still trying to make this TV show thing happen.

It's been a pretty wild ride and keep in mind, I'm a guy who hates rides. I puke my guts out every time I go on one! The last time I was on a rollercoaster, I was 17 I think. I was with a girl at Canada's Wonderland and I guess I didn't want to wimp out, so I went on it with her. The best part of the entire experience was being bent over puking in some bushes and being completely pumped about the fact that I somehow managed not to vomit while we were actually on the ride!

On that note, back to doing nothing!

I like to Blog

Something kinda funny just happened! I got a call from two girls who post all the time on the message board. Now when I say funny, I don't really mean funny, I mean just kinda funny.

See, I've given my home phone number out a couple times on the show, so it's out there now and obviously some people have it. But when they call me I always get the impression that they are suprised it's actually my number and that I pick up the phone.

Of course, I'm going to pick up the phone! Why wouldn't I? It's my phone! What if someone wants to get ahold of me like Aldo and RumourRaine just did. Now, I'm assuming that's just her name on the message board, unless of course, her parents are the kind of people who wanted to make sure they picked a name no one else would have. Either way, it turns out I'm not the only one unclear about what a Blog is, the girls didn't know either.

Now that I know for sure what it is and I'm now explaining it to other people, I've come to realize that I've been Blogging for years. I like to Blog! I've always enjoyed scribbling stuff down on a yellow legal pad. Stuff that I have been doing, stuff I want to be doing, different ideas and reminders to myself about what's been going on.

I guess it all makes more sense to me when I have to write it out. Does that make sense? I've got thousands of yellow sheets of paper with stuff scribbled on them. They're all jammed into a couple boxes waiting to be organized. I'm thinking this would be a good time to get at it.

I'll probably stay up all night now, I love doing stuff like this at 2:00am in front of the TV. Maybe I can summarize things from the past few years, stuff I've written, I mean, and basically have a Blog that dates back to 1999 when I first started working on the pilot for JR DIGS.

We'll see how the next few hours go and then take it from there. Who's on Conan tonight?

What's a Blog?

Okay, so I'm in the middle of rapping up a few loose ends these days regarding the film project that we have in development. I'm making sure everything is cool with me, basically putting everything on hold for three or four months while I dive back into the production of JR DIGS. It's not only a new season coming up, it's pretty much a brand new show that I plan on airing in November. With that in mind, I thought maybe we should redesign the website as well. Shane suggested doing a Blog like Zach Braff has on the Garden State website.

What's a Blog? Is my head so screwed up and full of crap these days that I don't know what a Blog is? What if I'm getting really out of touch? What if I don't even know what's funny anymore? What if the B stands for Big and LOG just means log and a BLOG is a Big LOG that just goes floating down the river until it gets old and water logged and then it's useless and it can't even burn anymore! What if that's what is happening to me? What if I'm turning into a BLOG? I'm screwed if I turn into a BLOG right now.

Hey, how long are these BLOG things supposed to be, anyway? It's almost eight o'clock and I think Entourage is on in a couple minutes. I love that show...I don't want to miss it...I'm not writing any more, I gotta go...
