Avatar

I think with all the hype about James Cameron's Avatar, It will win the following Oscars:

- Best Visual Effects
- Best Picture
- Best Actor in a Leading Role
- Best Music Original Score

I think District 9 SHOULD get:
- Best Picture (win)
- Best Actor in a Leading Role (win)
- Best Visual Effects (nominated)

FOR SURE.

Movie Ideas

Hey Josh, If you wanted to write a good script for me, I would be very appreciative. I'm mastering some new techniques for a smoother flow of camera. I also learned how to make my mic sound better and more crisp. Take your time. Thanks.

Just Crap...

The dude who one the game winning goal looks like he wants to eat that guy's hand. In the same way Josh was eating that starbucks cup. Auohhh....

Get Your

fookin' tentacle out of my face.

NYEEED!!

Welp! Another day. Woke up this morning, did some schoolwork, then went to piano from 2:30-4:00. Chilled around the house for about an hour, then watched Junior Team Canada lose in the championship. In my depression I decided to work out for an hour before Eli got off work. Saving mom a trip. Now I'm watching some Hogan's Heros with the fam.
