Can it get any better?
End of break and all this week has been the best. Got to kick it with my bro. Better yet Nisha pretty much everyday. <3
Have a good one, people.
In the house.
No more tonsils; time to recover.
A student-written/directed short film I worked on last semester. Laugh at it.

Good Fuckin Semester.
This semester was legit. Too legit to quit, actually. But I have to quit because now it’s over. No more semester, til next semester. Yeah, it was sweet. Shweet, really, if you want to get down to brass tacks about the whole situation. Seriously. What? Fuck you, okay! No seriously, love you guys. BUMP.
But honestly, so much good came to me these last four months. I’d probably bore the majority if I went through it all so I won’t — but I can’t help myself from touching upon some of the best parts. (Who doesn’t like when I touch the best parts?)
Twas a highly successful Brown Bag company this semester, really made some new ground in there I think. The directors stepped it up and took on a lot of big challenges (many of which nobody expected to come to fruition). I was so nervous I was sweating! Oh wait, no, that was just the first show I was in, “Normal”. For those who missed that psychological gem of a mindfuck, just picture an insane redhead playing leapfrog, a cute little blonde getting the shit beat out of her and then me crying out of every pore in my body — literally. Like I’m not kidding here, people. First three rows were splash zone for this shit.
Then I helped out a lot of cinema folks which was a much needed experience; I learned a helluva lot. It’s quite different acting for the camera than it is for the stage. That element of realism can be quite difficult to grasp. Thankfully I got it by the balls… and it (“it” being realism) liked it! (That “it” at the end is referring to me grabbing “it”, realism, by the balls).(Hope I didn’t overstate that).(Sorry).
Finally, the third main point I’d like to talk about in this essay is ENGAGED BITCHES! No, hah not stupid girls that are about to get married — The play I was in silly!! Teehee. Fuck, I’m turning into a theatre kid here… Okay but let’s get a little serious, because this play was a lot of hard work. Nearly 3 months of rehearsals, a bible-worth of dialogue to memorize, two major sicknesses, losing my voice, nearly shitting my pants, opening a Brown Bag show the same week as opening Engaged, kissing three other girls (that weren’t my girlfriend. yikes!), and, to top it off, growing hair on my face. WTF, right? So but, hold on, I didn’t actually almost shit my pants and the hair on my face was kinda cool. (For the record, I’ve kept the muttonchops, they make me look like a badass Abe Lincoln morphed with Wolverine). Anyways, we get all this shit done, opening week shows it’s face and we sit all over it. Dude, we fucking sat alright, if you wanna know that. Sucks we didn’t have very good publicity but our audiences were still decently-sized and everyone seemed to enjoy the show. Smiles all around! Hey, Parker, did you like it? Thanks for posting about it, BRO. Sorry about that little tangent, back to the main point number three: It’s over now. Nothing more to say except it was the most fun I’ve had working on a production and I look forward to more shows at SFSU. (Literally going to be spending all my time at home memorizing for my next one WOO!)
Anything else? Meh I’ll post more later.

"if you gave a demonstration, it’d be more like elimination. get to the station, cause we got a fucked up nation. now we livin like a haitian. you done bad i’ma put you on probation. don’t make me regulate you like immigration. cause i will start by making you broke; liquidation. then maybe you can receive unemployment compensation. that would be some bad humiliation. people might think you have mental retardation. isn’t that a nice auditory sensation. well anyway this was my little compilation, of what would happen if you made a demonstration, of a guys location and a girls destination, trying to contribute to the population, which would destroy our generation. so you should just stick to the explanation."

Tomorrow should be fun.
