Ironic!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on 2007-Mar-11 at 11:31 in Places

A week ago,a friend of mine and i went to Amsterdam for a weekend hangout.

Amsterdam is one of my favourite cities in Europe because its very international and very cultural.There is alot to do in Amsterdam and people are very nice and helpful.Make sure though that you have ironed the little Dutch because people around don't like bullshitting in those funny foreign languages.I guess they are just proud of their small country and their nice torelant culture.

As we stroled down Kalverstraat (Kalverstreet),my favourite and the busiest street in Amsterdam,we came across this billboard poster soem fair they call Highlife or Blowers fair.The last one intrigued our imagination enticing us into wanting to know what really like to live a Highlife.We hopped a tram feeling our appetite rising as we clossed by our halt.  

"Blowes fair", is this what this is all about? I got myself asking since i couldn't apprehend how soemthing which is illegal to posses or use, can be ligally exibited and everybody is Okay with that.I thought i really missed a point untill one guy,holding a roll of joint between his front teeth,proudly foung sometimes to explain to me how things are weaved together.The shit is legal to use but illegal to deal and the dealers are not allowed to import,export or even transport it and not even licensed to sell it but are in unexplainable funny way allowed to sell it as long as they pay taxes. 

My guy took along drag from his joint and dashed behind the smoke leaving me trying to crack what he had just told me.Eh,i couldn't but, it seamed to me,obviously that i was not the only one.

Getting high,if you really enjoy getting high,give it a tryout if you really are a virgin,in that area or just hang around and experience what the proffesional do.  I mean if you are,just like myself, a vrigin in this or don't fit in any of these categories.

Blowing and getting High is part of the attraction in this show but are also fascinating  demonstartions by the coffeeshop runners showing the handy side of this Highlife business and its versatile craftsmanship other than just blowing and get Stupid. Think about joint rolling,the main attraction of the day and my favourite. Who didn't  think rolling a piece Rizler with some green staff in it would mean any big deal to anyone was wrong. Come on,i can roll a 30 inch' long joint in half a minute and dont drop a seed of my product or i can roll the longer and the tighter in 20 sec and bit the record of the Chic next cabin. Those were just my imaginations and the more i tried i ended up with a flat empty torn out Rizler in my hand .Bummer ! but whatever the case the 25 old Chic diserved the title.They crowned her Miss Highlife 2007.   

It was for an amusement and i went home feeling wiser and higher in my own way,something which diserved to be bloged about.Though,i couoldn't stop thinking..don't we live in an Ironic world?

In some countries if they catch you concealing an inch long joint,they will send you to Sing sing for a countable number of years to sobber up.They won't even care if you were holding it for your buddy who had just stepped into jon.But here I am,throwing my charisma around with a 12 inch' long joint between my fingers and they crown me Miss Highlife.Somebody Knock me down,but this is Ironic!!!

By the way..if you happen to be in Amsterdam and you are looking for somewhere to buy a nice cup of coffee,don't go to those they call coffeeshops here.You might end up getting a cup of coffee but coffee shops in Amsterdam are mainly for selling Weed,Joint,Pot or whatever the name you baptise it in your area.

Finish your coffee and come out smelling like a Weed Chimney,LOL

 

 

Time sharing

It's been a while since i started 'blogging",as i would call it since it doesn't seem to go nowhere.

Am a starter in screen writting, writting in between my day time job. That can be tough sometimes, to find time for myself in a quite corner and do some writting. Does that happens to you screen writers? i mean the one who are also trying to fill in. Doesn't time really flies? Sometimes i have this great idea i want to put on a paper before it evaporates, through my skull and even before i even sit down and get my note book, it's time to go again. What?

OK,am also having a problem with my character. I have the story worked out and am getting to know my character better and better every day but when i get to the point in my script where i introduce my character i dont seem to give it the right approach. I got stuck which one to introduce first: a protagonist or antagonist? Is there a proper theory to this?

  

The road to screenwritting

Posted on 2007-Feb-9 at 06:16

Am just struggling down the road of screenwritting, pretty broad and full of endless ideas, my pen as a walking cane in hand, probing into all obstacles. I feel i can see the road ahead but before i regain back my  vision, i think i'll need all the guidance i can get from all the good screenwritters out there.

How and where do i start telling these good stories into scripts?

I have been away for a while. Just like i mentioned earlier, it's a long way, the screanwritting way. I took it and i've been away looking for new materials, ideas, stories and motivation. I have my Spec ready and am hoping to have it read soon. Who knows, i might soon receicve that exciting phone call and find myself in a Pitching room. Then i will say, Well Done Lone guy, You did this time.

But i will make sure my work appear here because i would like other people to read it, correct me, teach or even comment if i won't need any of those.

I have been reading many important informations about screanwritting and am sure they have helped me alot in finding the rethym, style and in structuring my work. I would say thank to the people who contribute to that, their informations means alot to the screanwriter who have never have their work produced or even read for that matter. It's a great preledge to have those kind of people with that much generocity because i'am sure and i know many people will agree with me but Writing is not always that fun or easy.

Am  now toiling up with a foreign script. I mean, it has alot of foreign language in it's dialohue and am facing much doubts on deciding whether i do it all in English and add PARENTHETICALS or i just write it in that language anyway and worry about translating later. That i have to find out myself, i have enough time, since the spec is still on it's analyzing  phase.
