Social Networks...

Social networks only exist so that people can cause drama without having to deal with people face-to-face. I love thinking about people who get so mad at each other on Facebook and then sit there, pounding on the keys with a scowl on their face and typing in ALL CAPS and run-on sentences to get their point across that they're mad. It's hilarious. Also, as I said on a post last night, that pointing out that someone else only does things on Facebook for drama is just asking for more drama. The bitch who thinks she's smart for calling another out is only being little miss attention seeker herself. I don't usually get involved in Facebook drama, unless there is a direct and personal attack, but in that case, I could resist throwing my two cents in there. That dumb bitch didn't have ANYTHING to say after that. Not to mention, my next favorite social network drama cliche... The person who says "If you don't want everyone to know, why do you put it on Facebook?" I love this douche bag because they usually come in at the end of the fight and then just restart the whole thing. Typically, this person has been watching the fight and actually getting really pissed off and feels they have to say something before the fight ends. But the fight moves too fast, so they can only throw their comment in at the end, which usually pisses off the instigator even more and then BOOM, BANG, POW... You got another fight. I hate Facebook drama so much because it's usually petty bull shit but it's absolutely hysterical to watch. Especially between people who can't spell.

Brief Thoughts of the Immediate Future

So I’ve made the huge life changing choice of what I’m doing with my life after college. After getting rejected from SUNY Cortland, LeMoyne, Buffalo, and pretty much every other four year school I applied too, I decided, I’m going to TC3. At least, for a year. I’ll be majoring in Digital Cinema with a concentration in screenwriting. I’m not sure if it’s necessarily something I’ll want to do professionally, but it’s an interest and I’ve been told I’m good at it… I’m not sure if I would agree with that but I’ll take a compliment. It’s hard for me to write good, believable dialogue. I know, it’s shocking considering how much I talk everyday, but it’s hard to come up with other things people would say that are relevant to the plot of the script. Hopefully, this course will teach me what I need to know to do well. Or, plan B, which is actually more of a “going to happen anyway” sort of plan, I start working out like crazy and once I get hot, I’ll become a male stripper. Yes, I said “a male stripper.” It sounds disgusting and crazy but ridiculously fun. Okay, so maybe more of dancer, than a stripper, but still… There won’t be clothes removed here. Regardless of what I do immediately after high school, I hope someday I’ll get where I want to be. I don’t necessarily want to write or act professionally. I want to sing. I know I sound like an 80s movie.

Blood Thirsty... POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR HUNGER GAMES

Second post of mine with the word blood in the title...

I saw the film version of The Hunger Games and it really did not disappoint. Okay, it did a little, but that's only if I nitpick about the smaller things that were left out from the book. There weren't very many, but there were some.

Sitting in the theater in the last few minutes of the movie made me realize: I freaking love the character of Cato.

I know we, the audience, are supposed to hate him or love to hate him because he is the main antagonist, but he's such a bad ass (like Katniss.) I feel like the parts he wasn't in the film made the character so interesting, especially when you did see him on screen. Like seeing the way he was on screen, going around brutally and heartlessly killing others and whatnot, made me wonder more about what he was like when he wasn't killing people, or he was hunting his prey. Was he confident about winning? Did he ever think there was a possibility he would lose? Did he have a plan or did he just kill whoever he could find? What was his motive for winning? What was he like before The Games started? Did getting his name drawn at The Reaping completely change him as a person? Or was he always an emotional citadel?

Those are the sorts of questions I had about Cato.

And watching the scene where he and Peeta fight on top of the Cornucopia made me realize... As an actor, I would LOVE to play someone like Cato. I want to be the bad ass, because it's so different from anything else I've ever played. I'm typecast as the stupid/flamboyant/over-the-top comedic character, but a bad ass would be a challenge. Especially if I got to kick ass, like Cato, or meet a gruesome end.
