Fantasy Feast, and my future in the entertainment industry

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cassandra-m-bellantoni/cooking-up-a-reality-show_b_622034.html

So this is the link to the Huffington post article about Fantasy Feast.

this was the perfect way to kickstart my summer full of nonstop action. i've been running around getting all the projects together.

another mark in the "reasons to keep doing this" column.

I need to learn how to finish things I start.

there's this acrtess I know
spent her time preparing for the big show
but she feels like a stand in at times
she having a lot of trouble remembering her lines.
her dressing room is tiny
all her mirrors lay flat
the powders overflowing
and she has her regrets.
she feels fake
and she cries
behind the scenes
and the movie screens
and all the magazines
portray a life she refuses to believe.

I don't even have names for the chords I'm using. I hide my poetry in song form. It seems less embarrassing. I'm trying to go to sleep. For once

Side effects include:

Clear vision.

It took the nurse two attempts to get a good IV going. I now have a small collection of medical wristbands. I went to sleep this morning at 7am not knowing of the huge mistake i just made.. I apologize for the typos in this post, I'm typing with one eye shut and I'm making it a point of not going baxk and spellchecjing. I had thought my cataract surgery for my left eye was tomorrow (wednesday) I was clearly mistaken. The hospital clalled my house wondering where i was. I had to double check my calendar in my phone and sure enought it was inuput correctly. I was scheduled to be there at 11:10 but I woke up at Noon. And since it was the day before my suppsed surgery, no one was available to bring me to the Vacaville Kaiser hospital. So I had to drive myself. When it was all over I clearly was not fit to drive so I had to get picked up... All in all the Doc told me the op went well.He had a little trouble stitching my eye back up. I noticed this when he started to vocalize his frustrations.

So i'm eyepatched again.. I should be sleeping but i cant. the anesthesia is wearing offf. I feel like i got hit in the face by Colonel Mustard, with the wrench, in the Conservatory.

4:30am

This is the story of Ruby. She's 24 years old and a sex worker. To supplement her income she also provides Angel services. In drug culture an Angel is someone who helps administer heroin and watches over them as they sleep. She does this cause its a hundred dollars extra. She says its just like babysitting. She's able to do this cause she's good at it. She knows how to use needles cause she has tons of experience with them. She's had diabetes for as long as she can remember. To her, insulin shots are as easy as popping a pill. When the client is sleeping, she tucks herself away in the corner of whatever sleazy motel room she happens to be staying in. She puts headphones on and listens to music as she rereads her favorite book: On The Road, by Jack Kerouac.

I need to finish writing this script. I just purchased the Canon T2i.. (for a project not my own, but they won't know I used it. And if they did, I'll just say it was to get to know the camera)..

Taking a break from schlepping.

I'm, rearranging stuff from my room and office. I decided that I'm moving my television to the office. Which will result in my simplistic style bedroom to become more... well.. simple.. My room will now only consist of my bed and my clothes.Nothing else. No poster, or dresser drawers. Just a bed. All I do in there is pretend to sleep anyway... oh well.

Drunk: The Movie

is an idea that me and Seth have been thinking about doing for the longest time. Basically its a documentary about the creation of a 10 minute short film with the stipulation that the entire production has to be done under the influence of alcohol.

and what's considered drunk? we're gonna use that chart thing, and probably a breathalyzer.
First we would get a documentary crew to follow us around the entire time. (they're the only ones completely sober) We would write the script drunk. Auditions will be drunk. The entire cast and crew will be drunk during filming. We'll edit the film drunk. and have a drunk film premiere.

and all this started with the notion of making a regular film and doing a drunk commentary on it.

Our livers will hate us in the end. But I think this would be a really entertaining and funny documentary to see. Plus the short film too!

Craigslist

Firstly, I juts watche Hot Tub Time Machine. That movie is actually a really funny movie.

Anyways, Craigslist is one of the greatest inventions known to man. I sold some camera equipment today, I posted the ad yesterday and this German guy called me up. He was interested in buying my stuff, he had cancelled on me and his other friend called. He showed up today and we made the transaction. The buying and selling part of CL always gets me nervous cause dealing with complete strangers is always weird. This German guy pulls into my driveway and all I can think about is the movie Hostel. I'm always afraid of either getting robbed, or murdered. I remember the first time I sold a guitar on CL and this old guy came to my house and I swear I felt like he was gonna lead me to a corn field and shove me in a hole... But for once this guy was actually pretty cool. He's does this thing called kite surfing, and kite snowboarding. Here's his website below.
