Whenever I go a while without writing anything, I always feel like I�ll never have something to say again. So then I get a little paranoid and just have to sit down and write an entry. These are usually my worst entries...just to warn you about the following series of words and the order they are put into. So, just so I can promise myself in the future that I will have some kind of important entries, I took a look into the future to see what cool entries I have in store. So...here are some Coming Attractions:
Future Entries to Write at Diaryland:

I walk home just like I always have. I still come in the front door like I always do. The computer boots up, or does whatever it always does whenever I turn it on. I make myself a snack, as always. And I hang out in the computer room for a few hours. I check my email, read the latest blogs, talk to people online, and whatever. As always.
School is still awful. Why, exactly, is it awful? I�m no longer getting anything out of it. I�ll admit there have been some amazing teachers. One of which I will be giving an Impact Award to. Justin and I are presenting our own award to my 11th grade English teacher. Justin knows him only for his journalism class. Bob is his name, and he actually began the Buzzline here at the WHS. The Buzzline, being our school newspaper. If I were going to be at Williamston for one more year, I would not only take Video Production and Theater Production again, but I would also love to write for the Buzzline. The only reason I haven�t been involved in it the last few years of my life is because...I hate deadlines. While we have to film and edit shows pretty much in one week, perform huge plays (no matter how huge the audience) in a few months, I just didn�t want that added pressure of writing articles every few weeks. I could do it, definitely, and I would love to have my opinion all over the Buzzline. No buts. I�d want to. While I�m not the most opinionated person, and am quite flexible with most things, I would still love to write stories.
I wouldn�t be the best reporter. In the past two years of Video Production, I have only done one news piece, and for good reason. But the one news piece I did did go on local television (as opposed to just Williamston Weekly). That was cool, I guess. Even though it was a public access channel that nobody watches.
There have been a lot of good things about this school year, though. Group C, for one. Video Production finally put all the right people together to produce the best shows. I�m proud to be in Group C, haha.
We�ll save the good things about this year for a future entry here.

I feel obligated to write something about Prom. I'm not going to go through every thing that happened...just because. It was a good time, though. For those of you wondering what Prom would be like, it's nothing like any of you would dream about. You just can't expect a Prom to be like the movies. I did want the entire school to sing and dance as if they were in a musical...but dancing these days is way too bad. Prom itself was a good time for me, though. It wasn't nearly as big of a deal as I thought it was going to be. I had a fantastic date, and I must thank Mary once again here. Thank you, Mary.
For whatever Prom lacked from, which wasn't much, Post-Prom made up for, and then some. We played on the bungee-run things. The reason those things are so much fun is...seriously, when was the last time you played on something that was bigger than you? It was like we were kids again, and it was outstanding.

The best movie of the year remains �V for Vendetta,� even though Mission: Impossible III was pretty darn good. When I become this huge movie-star of a director, I wouldn�t want to do a James Bond movie. The James Bond franchise is about to be reborn with higher standards that may be too high. I know a lot of people are scared of this new Bond, the awesomeness of Daniel Craig is underestimated. But while a lot of people are totally boycotting the film (like some tried to do with MI:3), you know people will shell out money (whatever that means) for the new James Bond. It�s a rebirth. And Craig�s performance will probably never be bested. I�m predicting that it will end the franchise. Seriously. James Bond movies will never be the same after this next one.
I saw a preview. It looks amazing.
Of course, the preview I saw was in poor internet quality, but...still. I�ve heard the synopsis of the book (Casino Royale), and I think it could be very classic. Of course, the wildness of director Martin Campbell may not be the best choice for director (since I believe the Bond films should not be action-based), even though he does some of the best action scenes. But the writer (director of �Crash�), Paul Haggis, will allow it to remain classic. At least, I hope so. He may be a one-hit wonder, even though he did quite well writing Million Dollar Baby. But you just can�t help but be excited for what he�ll do with �Casino Royale.� This is Paul Haggis, creator of �Walker, Texas Ranger,� alright?
But I wouldn�t want to hold the James Bond franchise on my shoulders. While I wouldn�t let myself destroy it, I am just not too sure I could come up with the best story. However, with something like �Mission: Impossible,� I think it�d be fun to do. Because even if you don�t have the best story, you could still put in mindless action and have it lead nowhere. It is, after all, Mission: Impossible. So if the ending isn�t something that makes perfect sense, it�s alright. It�s impossible. But with so many movies in the series...these missions aren�t looking too impossible. I wouldn�t try to rebirth it, I would just make it entertaining.
I wouldn�t want to make anyone else look bad.

I went over to my good friend, Neil�s, house on Friday and I am starting to introduce him to the world of mine in the cinematic area. He�s always wanted to watch �Army of Darkness,� so I have to watch the entire trilogy with him. And �The Evil Dead� is pretty much one of the greatest horror movies out there. It just doesn�t get really good until about half an hour into it. But I was still surprised with how much he liked it...and I was really happy about it. Emily, too, continues to enjoy my movie taste.
Neil had me borrow two movies of his. Pink Floyd�s The Wall, and Gus Van Sant�s Last Days. For both, music played a key role. And that�s what I like to hear when it comes to movies. Music is the most important part. And that�s pretty much the only reason why I liked �Last Days,� was for the music part of it. While that movie was extremely slow and took extra long to let each event sink in, the music scenes felt like action sequences, and were really enjoyable. The Wall lacked in plot development, but felt like several music videos put together, and while the music was fantastic, the visuals...oh my God. It was a beautiful movie.

My kitchen is being redone. It looks really beautiful. It�s giving my entire house a new and different feel. I love the change. People should welcome change. Routine is disgusting. While I�m not a really wild person, and I don�t seek entirely crazy adventures every weekend, I do like to switch it up every now and then.
I think this may be, in part, why I don�t get into the whole band scene. A lot of people like to go to as many concerts as they can, and still say they have good taste in music. Justin went to the Coheed and Cambria concert, and that was, surely, amazing. Coheed and Cambria may be the last brilliant band ever, so lets enjoy them while we can. But that�s not what I�m talking about.
Chelsey came to school today with �The Tire Swings� on her t-shirt. �The Tire Swings� is her band, I guess. And maybe she was advertising, I don�t know. She didn�t talk to me about it. But her, Tia, and Hannah were all matching. It�s their band. She�s definitely changed a lot in the four years that I�ve known her.
And the school year is coming to an end. Not many things will change right away. Let�s all enjoy the summer to its fullest. I know we will.
And by we, I mean at least I.
