Oh my God! Score! Remember the Shatner/Koko story? I got so much crap from that from this person who kept writing me and posting me vilifying me for that story telling me it was made up and wrong and calling me severely questionable names.

Well. Today someone sent me Youtube proof! Shatner met with Koko. Yay! Take that you internet stalker!

[Okay the music is kinda cheesey but I am so vindicated! Yay yay yay!]

haiti

When I was in Haiti, I watched American tourists throw nickels off cliffs to watch five year olds dive for them. They were dangerous cliffs. They were dangerous dives. We are talking the ocean, cliffs, mad waves smacking cliffs, fifteen and twenty foot dives, rocks all the fuck over, and five year olds.

For a nickel.

 


 

One of those fat short balding smug Hawaiin shirt wearing nickel throwing bastards said “monkeys.”

 


 

It was the first time I saw “The Ugly American.” The first time I was ashamed to be American. The first time I seriously wished harm on another human being. And not just him. His children. His grandchildren. His great great grandchildren. In that moment I made a small prayer to God that his children would have to leap off cliffs into churning awful killing waters for nickels.

 

 

goth_back.pngI told someone once —

He had to be more there or not there at all just go away because the way I grew up, I never knew if anyone was coming back for me after they dropped me off.

What I maybe left out was, you could not count on the ground or buildings still being there either.

seemaxrun classes

January 2, 2010

 

So it is kind of my job to do this.

Promote my classes.

The SeeMaxRun classes are special to me because, well, doy, they are mine. And also the place I get to tell people the stuff nobody else ever tells anyone writing for film trying to break in just running off Syd Field and a prayer.

[Um. Good luck with that.]

Eight students means I have a solid class. Twelve students means I am not taking any more students for that class.

I can take two more students.

The class starts Jan 5.
