Famous Unpublished Works #1

When life has nothing exciting to write about save for a few short paragraphs, you will find me writing about it here.

I have a great story to tell, and most of it has been written already. The problem is that it involves my job and that I have signed a limited confidentiality agreement; meaning that I can’t talk about the job until the job is finished. It is a shame because the lack of writing in these blogs has been mostly because I have either been working or keeping busy doing other things. But trust me when I say what I have been working on will be positively epic.

Also, I have just been writing a lot of stuff that I have completed with varying forms of satisfaction. I know there aren’t a lot of entries over the past week, but when I work on something special I tend to refine it and keep reading it over and over again before I reach some level of satisfaction. It’s not really like the movie and music entries I throw up. The way I see it, someone reads them and a lot of other people wont and in the end it is not worth tearing my hair out over it.

Tonight I went to a Midget hockey game and one of the teams barely even showed up. They only had seven players for the entire length of the game and even reached that number because they had to call in a goalie from another team. It was pretty sad. Mostly because it was the league finals. I wasn’t there for them; I was there for the other team, but it was still tough to watch. The almost unmanned team lost 8-1. Rumour has it the parents of the other team boycotted the game. Why? No one knows. Not even the kids who bothered to show up. This isn’t the Olympics people. You aren’t sending a message to anyone by not showing up, all you have done is wasted your money and your time by not showing up for the last game. More importantly and disgustingly, all you have done is disappointed a bunch of young adults who quite possibly won’t get the chance to play a game. It led to a game that no one even bothered to try in after a while.

In response to a few people who emailed me about my extreme dislike of “My Demon Lover” over at “Because You Want To...” Yes, it really was that distasteful. I planned to have the review cut off like that, because I could not shake that for the first half of the film I was so physically uncomfortable I wanted to stop watching the movie. I eventually saw the movie, but just like when I was a nine year old watching it (and clearly not remembering anything about it other than the ending) I still only saw it in part. This time dividing it up was a necessity. Just remember when you vote in the viewer’s choice poll that you might very well be picking a movie that is downright painful and obscene to the eyes.

I have also written two separate entries about the same thing. Once the issue I wrote about is resolved, I will post the appropriate response. It all comes down to a relationship problem a friend of mine has. If he makes the right decision, I will support and praise him by saying he made the right decision. If not, I will post the version where I condemn her and plead with him to get out of the abusive relationship he is in. It seems to go back and forth by the day with these two. We will see.

Sorry for all the vagueness in here tonight. Let me add some more. I am going to begin negotiating with a new publisher next week. I would add more specifics, but I am not going to get my hopes up about it until something concrete is in place.

That’s about all for now. You can expect part three of my series thingy whatever thing in here Monday. It is being revised tonight and typed up tomorrow. I'm not entirely keen on it yet since I know I have written about it before and was far more pleased with earlier versions, such as the one that would have been in the book. It would be easier to just post what I wrote from the book, but I honestly can't unless I want to get sued and add more shit to my plate.

No, wait. One more thing. If anyone has vegetables they don't want, please please please give them to me. I am all set with meat products and pasta, but I am getting sick to death of pasta and need something that isn't made entirely from grains.
