Mr. Nice Guy

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.
People don't keep journals for themselves. They keep them for other people, like a secret they don't want to tell, but want everyone to know.

I FINALLY got a cell again! It is not the one that I wanted because the T68i cost a hundred dollars with the plan. So I was stuck getting the T300, the plain camera phone featured on the T-Mobile commercial with Catherine Zeta-Jones. Well at least I have a phone again so I shouldn't be complaining. Plus it is decent, and it comes with a free camera, so whoopee!!! Anyways, recently I have been helping my friend out, who aspires to be a director, with a movie. I am his Assistant Director, so basically I get the coffees and lunches..haha...j/p. Well the independant film he is doing is called, "Sylvia." It was a play that the South El Monte High School Drama Department recently performed. Well, he turned it into a screenplay and now we are in the process of filming the movie.

Finals are coming up and I am so illy prepared for anything. Today I had a Math exam to take, and I was barely maintaining a C in the class. Well now I can kiss that C goodbye because I didn't know jack on that test despite studying. And while I started the exam, I realized that I had about an inch of lead. So I had to take a math test without lead. I used the lead down, until it wouldn't click out of the pencil, and I didn't feel like asking anyone for an extra pencil I could borrow, so I just used the piece of lead I had left and finished the test with my two fingers and the little piece of lead. As if anything else couldn't go wrong. *sigh* Oh well, there is always summer school at Rio Hondo.

I still don't know what I really want to do in the future. I am still torn between journalist, teacher, or something to do with film/TV/theatre(screenwriter, producer,etc). I am really leaning towards journalist or screenwriter or producer. I would love to do musical theatre, but I don't know. I am presently going to write 4 one act plays. Hopefully I can finish them and with the help of my high school drama teacher, he could help me get them published if they are good. Here are the summaries of what they are about. I haven't wriiten it out yet, but this is the summary of what I have planned and it could change...

Everything Anonymous - A support group for people with a problem...any problem. Whether the problem is alcoholism, narcotics, gambling, stealing or mother-in-laws nagging on your every move, Everything Anonymous is there to help you cope. Be a part of this meeting and follow along with 6 characters whose problems and antics will make you laugh, cry, and admit you have a problem. Remember, denial is the first indication that you have a problem, so come clean and admit that you are a laughaholic!

Shrink Wrap - People with problems go to Shrinks to let loose and clear their heads, but who do the Shrinks go see for their problems? In this one-act play, follow the lives of three psychologists who break the "therapist/patient confidentiality promise," by telling thier Shrinks about the messed up people who go the them for help, only to discover what a small world lies in the Pyschologist World.

The Bench - A group of friends, who have lost touch with each other, return to their high school for a reunion, only to be reunited with each other in their "kick it spot" throughout their high school days. Relive the things that happened during their high school days and see how it all unfolds just by revisitng the old bench that made friendships and resurfaced the past.

Colorblind - The discussions of a "white America," and what it is like to be living in a country that is suppose to be the land of opportunity, but seems more like the land opportunity only if one is white. People of different colors stuggle and are discriminated upon. Not only about white people, but about living in an area as a minority that is populated majorly by a different race.(I don't know if it will be a one-man show or a one act.)
