The Unlistedboy suddenly found himself...bored
He jumped on the computer but felt...ignored
So he went out and to get drunk off his...gourd
And you know if the night went well...he scored

I'm glad you quit smoking, Richie. That is a great thing to do. I smoked for a short while and don't even know why I did, but I did. It is great.

Here another poem from my head:

Oh, what a day
People find their way
Things that most would not notice
But they're are those that do
It is great to know you
It is great to hear what you have achieved
Amazing how things go
You, of all people, are the greatest
For you achieved a goal
That most fail
For one soul is stronger than another
A greatness is there
You must know this
For you are still here!!!!

Smile, Richie, you are the greatest in everything you do. Remember that. :0)

so who is this...lucky guy?(just curious)
writing down his name might help with your...um...what's the word?
Unless he's Ben Affleck (I got the impression that's probably not him), or married, then you have a very good chance...

Be brave, for they fortune's favourites.

silent all these years--Tori Amos

excuse me
but can i be you for awhile?
my dog won't bite
if you sit real still
i've got the anti-christ in the kitchen
yellin at me again
yeah i can hear that
been saved again by the garbage truck
i got something to say, you know
but nothing comes
yes, i know what you think of me
you never shut up
yeah i can hear that

but what if i'm a mermaid in these
jeans of his with her name still on it
hey but i don't care because
sometimes i said sometimes i hear my voice
and it's been here
silent all these years

so you found a girl who thinks
really deep thoughts
what's so amazing about
really deep thoughts
boy you best pray that i bleed real soon
how's that thought for you?
my scream got lost in a paper cup
do you think there's a heaven where the screams have gone?
i've got 25 bucks and a cracker
do you think that's enough
to get us there?

but what if i'm a mermaid in these
jeans of his with her name still on it
hey but i don't care because
sometimes i said sometimes i hear my voice
and it's been here
silent all these years

years go by
will i still be waiting
for somebody else to understand?
years go by
if i'm stripped of my beauty
and the orange clouds raining
in my head
years go by while i choke on my tears
until finally there's nothing left
one more casualty you know
we're too easy easy easy
well i love the way we communicate
your eyes focus on my funny lip shape
lets hear what you think of my now
but baby don't look up
the sky is falling
your mother shows up in a nasty dress
and it's your turn now to stand
where i stand
with everybody lookin at you
you take hold of my hand
yeah i can hear them

but what if i'm a mermaid in these
jeans of yours with her name still on it
hey but i don't care because
sometimes i said sometimes i hear my voice
i hear my voice i hear my voice
and it's been here
silent all these years
i've been here
silent all these years
silent all these
silent all these years

PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION!!!!
Cut your self some slack!
I have not met a perfect human yet...
don't really think I would like to!
Others know your struggle have been exactly where you are!
Smoking is a very strong addiction!
You have the desire so it is only a matter of time that you break the chains that bind!
You can do this one breath at a time!
Next time you feel an urge to have a smoke lean down next to the first running muffler you see and take a big whiff!
That should remind you what you are really sucking into your precious priceless lungs!
I will keep you in prayer!
Don't beat yourself up!!!
I believe in you!

Hey, Richbo, she is right about that. It is a strong addiction that you have to fight. You'll beat it because I can see you are a strong man. You are a strong man and I know that.
Just keep a smile :0)

Thanks for the advice Julie, but i just broke my muffler exhaust addiction only a year ago, so i don't really wanna fall back into THAT camp!
How about breathing into a week old dirty diaper? That should do the trick! (Got any?)
Anywhoo-
Thanks for the support, gang!

for those of you who want to see me in action check out the following sites and give me some input:

Like drama and/or war stories?: http://www.ifilm.com/ifilm/skeletons/film_detail/0,1263,424696,00.html

The term Pointman refers to an Army expression. During field maneuvers, a squad fans out in a tree or "triangle" formation so that no two men may be killed by the same gunshot or explosion. Naturally, the man in the leading front position is the top of the triangle and thus he is the "point guard" for the rest of the squad-

wanna try an "Off the wall" dark piece? - http://www.filmfilm.com/screen/default.oldnew.asp?filmid=1275

this one does not get good reviews- i think largely in part becuz there is no redemption at the end of the piece. i was trying to go for a Shakespearean sonnet "poetry in motion" kind of thing. Apparently this doesn't sit well for most audiences. i can respect that- however i am very proud of the cinematography of this one. i think it's the best "angled" film i've worked on yet. If you decide to watch this one, please spend more of your attention on the direction of photography and not on lesser sculpted addresses.

it's okay. we all slip up. i've quit smoking several times
obviously i still do. oh well. just think of it in terms of how many cigarettes you HAVEN'T had. sure, you had three today but how many would you have smoked if you weren't trying to quit? ten? twenty? so that is three that you smoked, but that is 7-17 that you didn't smoke.

keep up the good work.

Thanks Kirk-! But alas i missed the deadline. i was playing on this PGL thing too much!
No actually, i was waiting for a response about a very important question from the secretariat and they didn't get back to me in time. Besides they wanted a 16mm print of the film and you are the only one who has a copy of it- there was NO way i was going to make it into the Festival.
Oh well-
the really weird part is- i didn't even enter a submission-! They just emailed me out of the blue and told me "Bad Company" was already accepted as an entry!
You didn't have anything to do with that, did you?

I believe we have some folks here that have a great sense of humor. It is just amazing to see it.

One day she flew away
She decided it was time
No one knew exactly what she meant
But they were sure that one day
Whatever that might be

She'd turn the world around
Such foolish dreams one might say
How can one single person
Oh, c'mon can't you see

She took her life to the greatest ever
She gave her all for one
No one knew exactly who
But the one she did give for
Knew best of all
She'd do anything for

She wrote her heart out
One day she told him everything
Even if he wasn't around
Life itself couldn't keep her down
A script in her hand
She's heading to a place
That most would love to be

She gave her dream to a man
He stole her idea and her heart
No one understood why she fell
She fell so very hard
Today she is still remembered
She is the one who did her best
Wasted her life
And gave her all for a man
The man that most knew, but
She never told who
She kept her word forever

To this day no one knows
He's the man behind her greatest
Behind her greatest film ever
He is the one of great inspiration
Yet, the name is not heard
He's still remembered by some
But mostly forgotten
He'd never be forgotten by her
He's her only hope for her heart


Sorry, I thought to leave a poem on this thread and this is the only one I could come up with today. I hope you like it.

Richbo...I watched Pointman and Bad Company.

I really enjoyed Pointman...which is odd...because at first I thought I'd be bored by it...but it slowly dragged me in.

Bad Company I thought was a good idea, but the acting kinda threw me off.
