Hello there, Matt here logging for the first of many enounters I hope to have. Just thought I would get things started by saying hey, who would have thought it was this easy to publish personal thoughts. When I think of all the time I wasted using a journal, or trying to convert ideas to stories when I could have been typing things out on here and have the world sort them out for me. All right, its not quite that easy, and I did ponder breaking out the HTML books as a refresher, but this is a start, and that counts for something. Maybe in the near future I could show my talents and get some attention with creative web design.
Add that to a degree in architecture as well as film studies with an interest in film production and you have me. I could break it down more than that, but I don't have the time, and I don't think anyone would really care enough to read it.
So this is what I'm worth these days, a few paragraphs when I can spare the time. Not too bad when you break it down like that, life really is just words that we take for granted and certain. What I'm trying to do with them is start something unique, like you never heard that before. What I want is to write what I feel and share it with those who want to listen. If thats not you, or if you couldn't care less, then you wouldn't get this far, but you obviously do so expect great things.
For years I carried around a small notebook and recorded my unusual thoughts, dreams, even quotes. Occasionally I added a few professional quotes form textbooks or articles, but overall I filled this thing with ideas and problems. In a sense I was my own shrink, it helped that I learned about psychoanalysis, and could start something in rage and end it with peace. I was in complete control of my mind, which really is the most powerful weapon around when at a calm. Eventually I developed a new understading of how to relax and have been coasting through problem after problem with ease.
I use the word problem because I have yet to really accomplish something with my life. Since I graduated college I have been pursuing a career in writing, this is a broad approach since I'll take what I can get, but my focus is screenplays. From time to time I write an article about something in the news or a movie that I think needs a second glance, such as No Country For Old Men. Every now and then I finish a short story or outline and think it could be worth something. But in the end they just amount to dead space on my computer. To remedy that I was hoping that some of these things could get used by others, or maybe even completed.
That is what I intend to do with you, take advantage of your free time and use your thoughts to further our careers. As I upload things feel free to comment as you see fit, or even add on to what seems to be missing. I'll do my best to leave them either open-ended or close-minded
