Estrogen Deprived: More than a Show?

Hey everyone. I'm aware it's been sometime since I've updated this. I've needed the break, but I thought I'd fill all my readers in on what's going on.

Yes, I'm sure all of my readers are people I know in person and know what's going on, but writing this diatribe is cathartic so I shall continue to do so.

I guess I should talk about my current projects. Well, I've been using all of this free time as of late to do some writing. I wrote a monologue for a character in Greg's soon-to-be developed opus, Void, and I've been working myself back into the right mindset to finish Yes, Matilda..., but it's been harder than I thought. I'm reading the one year anniversary of when I started it. Perhaps I'll have a party to celebrate my procrastination. Anyone want to come?

Instead of finishing Matilda, like I should, I've been working on a project with Samual Fink. Since I don't think I've talked about him up to this point, I'll describe him. He's in the military and has a big TV and a lot of free time. I've known him a long time. Great. Now that that's out of the way I can explain the project. It's a internet show called Estrogen Deprived (working title). It spawned from a psuedo-documentary thingy we wanted to do called Michael, Let's Go to the Comic Book Store and it became this. It's about two guys who created a comic book and their continuing struggles with love and the other annoying things in life. Original right? HA!

Estrogen Deprived is more than a TV show. It's a general feeling that has filled me as I write. The lack of a significant other at times gets annoying. So, I use that angst in the writing. Do I always feel bad about it? No. Does it hit me at times? You bet. It all goes back to the people who can get a significant other with very little trouble at all and as soon as it goes south they say "Oh, it's SO much better to be single". I say bullshit. It's better for you because you can easily find someone new. People like me, who have to work at it, single life sucks. A lot. It's not that we're constantly depressed, but still. Pretty much, to those who say single life is the best, I say, fuck you. Thank you.

Anywho, as far as the show goes, I'm on episode three. I have 8 more left to write. Our goal is to finish it in July and film in August. That's the plan, anyhow. Let's hope. So far it's going well. A few creative differences but other than that no complaints. I just hope I can stay focused.

I apologize for the disjointed feel of this blog. I'm out of practice and I think I'm getting the beginning stages of arthritis in my fingers. Oh well.
