Tell Me a Story

I need to do something. And if I do something I think I can prove to myself and to my mom that I don’t need to get a job this summer because I’m doing what I’ll be doing in the future and getting real experience instead of selling drinks I’ve never tasted or selling some twelve year old a game I’ll never play.

I know that money is important and if I do this I’ll probably end up losing money overall. But I think if you were bitter enough you could describe life as a sequence of losing money. So what I want to do is get the best out of life that I can at this moment, and then in the next moment, and then the moment after that.

Maybe I should get a job so I can afford a nice camera, but maybe I don’t need a nice camera. I do have a nice camera already. What I need is skills. So I’ve repeated myself a couple times now, I figure I should get to the point.

I have this urge, as I said up there, to start something. I know what I want to do, but I need a little more inspiration than that. I want to film some sort of serial show, like a drama; something that I haven’t written for in a long while. But I don’t know where to start. I could think about and force something out, but there’s nothing there but the idea of filming a show. I’m just waiting to be inspired.

I’ve already been inspired to do something by watching Ze Frank, but now I want the something to be changed from “some” to a specific thing. I could go scour around for a good idea, but I want permission to be inspired. I don’t want to infringe on someone else unless they are offering their ideas to me.

The last time I tried this, I got zero responses, so I don’t know why the hell I’m doing this again, but I’ve written this damn post so I’m going to publish it. I know people read the posts, but they barely respond. I hope you’ll respond at least on Facebook this time. I just need ideas, and then I will go to work. I want to entertain you. Maybe the best way to do that is to get inspiration from the people I want to entertain.

Tell me a story so I can tell it back.
