OK so this one is gonna sound almost like a diary entry (well just a little). For some people, 2008 was awesome (example my brother got married, graduated from med school and is working in his dream job) but for others, like me, this year has been the worst year of our life. I know you're must be thinking, "what a whining bitch", but you will understand in a few minutes why it was the worst. This is the recap of the worst year of my life.
1- A crazy ass bitch director wants to make my script come to life- you must be thinking, "oh shit that is awesome!", well it was until I got a meeting with the director. She was in her mid 40s, finishing her master from UCLA in cinematography and looked a little cuckoo. Thinking this woman had read my script a million times and is now in love with it (She told me she choose from over 10 scripts she recieve), I was extremely excited, that until she started talking. For the convinience of everyone and to understand the story, you need to know what my script is all about, so I'll describe it in one sentence: A 60 yr old retired nurse who got divorce and needed a hobby to spend her day, so she started playing video games until she became a HC gamer and completely addicted. Well the "director" thought it was about a old woman who was horny and hated her grandkids. Yeah sounded just like my story! After telling me she hated video games and wanted something more "realistic", she came with this: " instead of video games, she can be addicted to dildos and computers! we can do a part where the computer started talking to her and a big light from above illuminate the computer, just to make it more dramatic!" At this moment I was almost crying to hear that she wanted to transform my comedy into a soft porn/crappy 90s movie! "OMG you need to hired Ron Jeremy and Jenna Jamerson for this film!" I thought. So after one hour explaining my script, I asked her " So you just want me to write you another script?" her anwser was " I showed your script to my psychologist and psychiatrist and like me, they didn't understand your script. So yeah that would be awesome if you do a new one! oh and I need it for next month" Can someone please kill this Bitch! She had no money for this, no staff, no nothing and just a month to make her a new story with dildos!!... So of course I told her "I'll think about it" and never called her.
2- Not going to Australia :'(- I got a opportunity to go to the World Youth Day in Melbourne Australia (just google it if you don't know what it is) as a reporter for my university. I can't tell you how excited I was, it was a dream come true and I've work my ass off for this (for real). This was one of the reasons I quit my job, I was going on a road trip for a month and they had a bunch of activities before going there. Got scarfs, snow boots, coats, hats and anything you can think for winter season. The cost of the little journey: $6,000 aprox. (this only includes transportation, flights, hotel, breakfast and dinner... did I tell you I also was visiting New Zealand?) Been working for this for more than a year and 3 months before leaving, the travel agency called and told us, we had 6 days to pay $3,000 for each person and now it was $6,500. My piggy bank only got like $2,000 and after begging the agency to give us time, we took the decision to cancel everything. From the bunch, I was the most excited and the one who sacrifed the most for this. I cried for more than a week and everytime someone ask me about it, I couldn't speak. And this was before meeting Mr. Dan "Aussie" Rizzo who I am a big fan now and his groupie XD (Sorry Krissy I know his yours too, but you need to share with your friends XD) Right now i'm writing this and feeling sad all over again. Shit, i'm changing the subject.
3- " There's no food for everyone, so we have to let you go"- In this one, i'm gonna curse a lot, so be prepared. So from my TV production class, our professor told everyone that the university was going to work on some commercials and the advertising agency was looking for students to work on the project. They choose me as Production assistant, I was so friggin' happy and hyper about the project. 2 days before the shooting day, I got a call from the producer and told me the agency wanted to cut out all the production assistants because "they couldn't buy food for everyone"... that is the cheapest excuse I ever heard in my life. Are you telling me that these cheap bastard couldn't buy a fucking happy meal for 15 people?! I told her that if they wanted to, I bring my own food and problem solved, but it looks like the assholes just don't wanted us there. The irony of this is that the shooting was in a grocery store so they had plenty of food. And not only that, we all were working for free, all the money the goverment gave them for the commercials goes straight to the goddamn agency who didn't do anything at all!! I hope they rott in hell and get rapped by Hitler and Hussein for all eternity.
4- Everything else...- This are the thing that were too small for a number, but still were fucking annoying and made this year a lot worser. Example, guys being douches and playing with my heart, quiting my job, my laptop and my ipod dying at the same time, getting very sick and not a single doctor knew what was wrong with me (now I know what was wrong, I didn't need a doctor for that XD), delay my graduation (once again!), stalkers, Gaining like 10 pounds eating junk food and doing nothing, my two love birds and chicken dying (nobody ate my chicken, she was very old :'( ) and got cut out (once again, no money for food!) from a documentary.
So yeah I got a very serious case of bad luck, but the only thing I really like from this year was making new friends (yeah like a gang) and a trip to Florida with my mom which I really enjoy (that reminds me I got a lot of editing to do!) the rest (if i'm not missing something) was shitty and depressing. With all the crazy things that happend in my life I gotta say, that every single hit, heartache and punch this year brought on me, make me a little stronger so thank all the bastards who tried to make my life miserable, very appreciated! ^_^
I know and i'm hoping that next year bring great things for me and everyone around me ( and crap I need my prince Charming!) if not, I'm moving with Lucky Charm or whatever his name is and see if he can do a miracle!
To all my readers, stay safe, don't use drugs (Crack is whack!) and as always
Peace, Loe' and Rock n' Roll \m/
