They Are All Waiting For You

I tried to write an entry yesterday, but it ended up just not feeling right. I had been posting the feed of this in my facebook, but I think this one will be a friends only. I liked the idea at first, but then I realized there are people on facebook that I probably don't want to read this. Though, its linked in my profile, no one looks at that. I've decided It'll be a two-parter. One public, one friends only, so if you are just itching to know, you'll have to sign in. Disclaimer: Its really not that big of a deal.

So things are going awesome actually. I was thinking back that I think 2006 might have been the best year of my life so far. Everything sort of happened really well. But I didn't write anything. I had about 6 scripts all about 10 pages in and writing just didn't feel write. I'm taking a class dedicated to this book called The Master and The Margarita. Its about Satan coming to Stalin era Moscow while this writer called The Master is trying to write a book from the point of view of Pontius Pilate. We haven't started reading it, but we are talking about art and its rise during times of strife. I think that explains why I just feel bland. It seems so freaking pretentious to say that my life was too perfect because it was far from perfect, but it was a good time. It was like I was living to simply life, just going through the motions. Trying to act like I was finding meaning in something that was trite or just feeling so self-absorbed. And it become evident when I realized I couldn't write. I hardly even wrote in here.

It might also be because I just finished watching the entire series of Six Feet Under. In my 21 years on this Earth, I have never once cried watching a movie or TV show. And tonight, I completely broke down watching the last six minutes. It was nothing but pure genius. I just watched it again, and I cried again. I know this is quite an attractive and manly feature of mine, but I mean, as far as I go, I never have more than one tear sort of hanging in the corner of my eye watching anything, including Hotel Rwanda. However, I think this just might be because it was so intense I didn't blink. Being its such a rare occasion, it only makes sense that it really opened me up. But as far as it goes, I think Six Feet Under could be the most brilliant, aggressive, and original television series in history, and I don't think it will be surpassed anytime soon. It seems like I'm over hyping it, but really words cannot describe how much I love this show. If you haven't seen it, then you need to.
