Nightmare on Elm Street
haha.
when i was a child my friends told me that freddy Kruger lived inside of the pine tree that grew in my front yard. . . and that he would KILL me if i walked past it at night. So, everytime i came close to the pine tree, i would RUN. . . my parents, banned me from watching any horror movies -- so the many ways that Freddy could possibly kill me were completely left up to my imagination. i just knew that he had big razor sharp claws and a freaky looking face. . .
so, 16+ years later i have finally decided that i will watch The Nightmare on Elm Street. Partially as an attempt to exercise the demons that haunt my childhood memories, but more because Johnny Depp landed his first movie role in this film.
Anybody who knows me knows that i adore Johnny depp. i am a fanatic. . . And this is not some newfound post-Pirates love affair. No no. This is not me bowing down and worshipping his new Pop-culture status. . . i've been crushin' on the man for well over a decade.
Anyway, i've checked out this Nightmare film and am either going to watch it tonight or tommorow morning. i tried to call Joe the Bartender over to watch it with me, but he says that he is too emotionally sensitive right now and that it might fuck with his nerves, make him homicidal or unable to sleep tonight. So, if anybody wants to join me to watch this film, just give me a few minutes notice and i'll pop up some popcorn and make some strawberry smoothies. . .
A very important discovery: i feel much less depressed when i do a bit of exercise. So, i just need to drag myself out no matter how shitty i feel, suck it up, and start walking. . . Also, i have started to become excited about something again. (it's been quite awhile since i have felt excited about anything.) But i've been feeling really excited about writing and directing a little amateur video. And i'm not talking porno amateur -- i mean, a little art film. I'm fucking ugly, so i'm not going to be acting in the film. But i plan on writing, directing, editing, and composing the score. Now, this isn't going to be anything big. . . And i'm making no claim to talent here. I'm just excited about creating SOMETHING even if it is Shit. I take after Ed Wood, i think. (for anybody who hasn't seen Ed Wood -- oh, go rent it right away! A pure delight!)
