I just turned on the TV at approximately 7:41  so I figured it was time to write in my journal, since that seems to be my general habit. I don’t like this pen. I’m going to switch – all right. These pens do not want to work.

I don’t really like this one either, but it is better. So, today has been a good day. I’ve read most of the day (Philosophy for Dummies) and I played my drums. I’ve been pretty productive. And now… Now I am waiting for American Idol to come on. I know, I know, it’s sad. But I want to just veg and then read some more and then I’ve been meaning to watch Waking Life for a while and it fits with my philosophical reading so I think I’ll really try to watch it tonight. Sounds like a good game plan.

Hmmmm, so, how about that movie? I’ll get back to you on that after a bite to eat. Okay, so about my movie… I want to fly, but I don’t want that in my movie unless it’s pertinent to the plot and tasteful. I do really like science fiction /fantasy. What about a movie about real life. No, boring. What about science fiction dealing with aliens? No, I don’t think so. What would the themes be? Love? What issues haven’t been addressed? Maybe I can change the view of the American dream. What am I most passionate about? Living life, love, following your dreams, passion. I like twists. I want a whole new structure for movies. Citizen Kane breaks through movie structure. Change movie cinema. That’s what my movie will do. Unfortunately I don’t know how I’m going to do that. I could combine genres like American Splendor. That could be interesting. I like layers, levels, something under the surface. I want to make a movie about death.
