also, go to twitter and search 'ssyndrome' in trending topics.

The goal is to get the first and only draft done this weekend, show it around to some friends and take down any re write helpful hints.  Casting is going to be a pain, but I won't let it stop the movie.  I would love to cast my friends or at least have all of them make cameos!  The theme of the script so far is coming together as a fictional coming of age tale that is a little bit of me.  I will always be a geek, but all geeks can grow up.  You have to find what works for you and not try to find something(status) or somebody(pretty girl) that you think will make you change or grow up.  I have gone through this once before and caught myself almost doing it again this week.  Looks are important but for the first time I think I really understand the saying beauty is in the eye of the beholder(asking can sometimes do wonders).  Can't seem to download the spell check to this break room computer, so sorry if I missed any words in my proofreading.

Time to swallow this thing called pride again.  I have this problem that most may or may not know, I am scared to DEATH of what people think.  This is the reason that I am shy ( i think) and really don't share what's on my mind because of this pre conceived notion that my friends or people wont 'get me'.  It's crazy I know and I have good days and bad days.  This summer I am really going to try my hardest to get over this for good.  I have been praying for awhile now and I also have a song that will get me going this summer too!

I've got this great idea/ About why I got stuck in reverse/ I thought my mind in control/ It just got worse/ I hope you've got more sense than I/ Side step the curse/ I just don't know just which came first/ In the spiral/ Threatening my survival/ It's come time to get down.../ It's time to get down, boots to the ground/ No, I won't stop 'til I hear the bell sound/ Keep your head up 'cuz the truth just cut/ No quick fix when I'm caught in a rut/ What I got to do to get the right sized/ Think I'm despised when I look through the eyes of another/ Not mine to discover/ What the next man thinks is none of my freakin business

I won't type the whole song, but man I love that first verse.  Tune in next time for another blog about the movie I am shooting this summer.  Peace,

COX

With a run time goal of at least 20 minutes I really think that I need to keep the story simple and not get caught up in adding bigger and better ideas.  5 scenes 3 major and 2 minor should be enough I think?  The writing is taking a little longer than I had thought or planned.  I started writing without knowing exactly where I know the story was going to go.  This may be okay seeing that I want my movie to be more about the journey of relationships rather than what the outcome is.  I just need to finish the darn thing.  Music is very special to me and the music I want to add in the music will be some of my favorite songs that will and will not carry the narrative of the film.  I can't wait to film it and I really can't wait to show it at The Moxie for all my family and friends to enjoy.

I have a lot on my plate this summer and that's a good thing. I am making a movie this summer, loosing weight , and going to the movies during my favorite movie going season. One of these has got to go, or I should say go lite on. Well I have never lost weight so that's not it, and I am not going to pass up making a movie, and so yes it's me seeing movies like they are going out of style that is taking a back seat this season. The script should be done at the end of June or before that, we may start production using a first draft?

The plan starting this week is work, exercise, and write movie. Friends please feel free to check on the progress. With exercise and the stress and activeness of making a movie I hope to reach my goal to look better than I do now at the first of the year next year.
