New Beginnings.. Sort of?

I decided to start a blogspot. I don't know why. It just came over me.

This is new.

It ended up working out, actually. I had said several times to myself and to others that I was hoping to become a new person once I moved back to Jersey. So it's only right that I began a new blog, perhaps to track my progress, if there is any.

I've lost about 10 pounds in the month I've been home. I recently got hired to WaWa, which was bitter sweet. I'll be pumping gas. It's a crappy job I quit 2 years ago; I'd hoped I wouldn't have to return. But orientation's tomorrow and I'll be there.

I've read four books since I moved back. One, Across The Universe With John Lennon, was real interesting. It was written by a psychic who claims to have an ethereal connection with John Lennon's soul. Whether one believes in that sort of thing or not, it was altogether enjoyable with some "life lessons" one can learn from - though, in the end, it wasn't really anything I hadn't heard before. Go figure, metaphysics is no different from religion. No different from philosophic schools of thought in general.

I've also started working on some writing. I have some screenplays I want to write that I've started either writing or plotting. I also told a guy off craigslist I'd help him write a TV pilot based on an unpublished book he wrote. I e-mailed him some questions about it and he hasn't gotten back to me. Oh well. I started working on a couple short stories, also. One I decided to put on hold until I do some more reading/ideological research. The other I only just conceived yesterday and have made some general notes on.

As a side note - I love notebooks. I love jotting.

I'd also like to try to develop The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy into a semi-futuristic adventure TV series. That itself has brought about quite a number of problems; haven't figured out good solutions yet, so I haven't been able to plot anything yet.

Good news:
Rove resigned.
Gonzalez resigned.

Bad news:
America is still broken.

Maybe I'll tackle that idea in a story at some point. Maybe in Pimpernel.

Hopefully I'll keep up this blog. It'll be another nice outlet for me.
