Let's Try Something New

Alright - it was a standard weekend. Nothing crazy, nothing special. Just plain old, home brewed fun.

We ate, we drank, we relaxed, we napped, we laughed, we watched a lot of TV. What else would you want out of a weekend? Nothing I suppose?

I got my roommates to start watching AMC's "The Walking Dead" and I recommend it to anyone out there. It's a show about zombies - but it's incredible. Even if you don't like horror-themed shows, this is still amazing. It's shot beautifully, acted great, and believe it or not, has a ton of character driven drama in it. Plus, Frank Darabont (director of "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile") helped write it, produce it, and direct the pilot episode.

Get out there and watch it.

On a side note - Carlos just completed his training at Panera and will be working there soon (until he lands a cushy government position) - but he's doing such a great job there and the company likes him so much, he's meeting the CEO tomorrow! Way to go Carlos!

Also, if you want to follow his blog, check it out here - he's much more insightful on the world than I am. Great writer too.


So, lets shake things up here. I like writing and keeping you all current on my life - as mediocre as it currently is, but I need to remain creative and practicing my craft.

So this is whats going to happen - I'm going to try a write a new story every week, with YOU telling me the direction it should go in. I'll list some options and depending on your responses, I'll continue it in whatever way people want it to go.

So, I NEED responses. Comments work or email me them. If people don't partake in this, it'll be a failed experiment and I'll go back to another style of writing.

To beging, what genre do we want? A) Comedy  B) Horror  C)Drama  D)Humor  E)"Dark/Artsy"

  1. Thanks for the shout out Andrew, much appreciated. Oh and there is a part of this world that you understand better than me too. Just because mine may seem more insightful does not mean its the only one. Yours is equally too. It makes me happy to see a person who is starting out and doing pretty good, and having some cool adventures as well. Your blog makes me feel like things will be ok, and its a good break from all the seriousness I get myself into with the blog and all. Its really nice.

    P.S. you are a much better writer. If you have read my blog my grammar and spelling are terrible...

    Oh, and I like humor or a drama (in that order. Or even better, combine the two.

  3. Your trip blog suggests you have a skill for humor. The tales of David the gnome suggest that.

    Good luck on whatever you choose; I'm certain you'll make it work!
