| So, for people like Erica and Shana, they would've known my reaction in the instant I heard Beach House's selftitled debut. I kind of reacted with a twitch and a loud vocalization of howwwwlyyyyyyycooooowwwwww. Then I made the connection that they were going to open for Grizzly Bear (who I also love). Then I bought them flowers for the show. Then I gave flowers to Victoria and Alex (The members of beach house). Victoria kissed my hand and went back stage where, accoarding to Chris of Grizzly Bear, cried saying it was the nicest thing anyone had ever done. Needless to say I was shaking pretty bad. I dont even feel like elaborating.
But I will for one point. Following the show we talked to Beach House, it was really nice. Then we went to wendy's. Outside of wendy's we heard someone we thought was a pan handler yelling 'we need some money!' only to turn around and see that it was the beach house mini-van with the members inside. We quickly exchanged we'll miss yous to eachother and they drove off.
Thanks to Liam for the picture. | | |
| Well Chelsea just left. I miss her already. She's probably one of my favorite people ever (as anyone who's read this before may have determined), this is because she's the only person I can really really share Silence with. Beyond that other things have just felt odd. An imbalance if you will. That's not important, I think I'll get better. Shana's coming soon which shouldn't be too bad. We've patched up a lot. We're going to see Of Montreal (Which I'm iffy on, last show they did was terrible beyond words...they were okay. I still dont really like them all that much. I cant get on that highly caffinated super fun dance pop, it's too much sugar. I get cavities musically real easy). I've seen some excellent shows. The Little Ones, 1990s and Voxtrot was excellent. The Little Ones proved to be one of the more charming and intellegent modern 'indie-pop' bands that I've heard. The 1990s were okay. Voxtrot did especially well under the circumstances (Their lead singer had an inflated thigh as a result of an infection. He also had a high fever and had to go into surgery the right after the show). They're a band that I respect a lot. No visual asthetic. They've been brought up by the king makers and Pitchfork only to soon be brought down. This means had I saw them weeks prior to their full length LP, it would've been hipster scum. Ironic looking sloppy kids with bright hoodies, bandana head bands and tight jeans. I've grown saddened knowing that if I continue in any indie platform, I'll be cattering to either that or teenage girls (not the awesome ones either). I look forward to the next cultural shift in my generation. Im writing an aquaman screenplay which has gone way better than expected.
EXT: RIO DE JANEIRO, DAYTIME
A small BOY floats on a makeshift raft in the water. It's
soon revealed that he is floating around the submerged
statue of Christ The Redeemer.
Suddenly, the dorsal fins of a pack of DOLPHINS breaks the
water and starts to head towards the BOY.
As they get closer, the water behind the BOY starts to break
as well, small waves form as if something large is
The pack of DOLPHINS almost touch the BOY.
Then, a DOLPHIN jumps out of the water and just as he's to attack
the small BOY, AQUAMAN jumps out, punching the DOLPHIN in
the face.
EXT: OUTSIDE THE UNITED NATIONS BUILDING IN NEW YORK CITY,
DAYTIME.
THREE DAYS EARLIER
NEWS CREWS surround the perimeter of the U.N. building discussing
the events which are about to unfold inside.
FEMALE NEWS CASTER
Today, Arthur Curry, better known
as the half Atlantean, half human,
Aquaman is meeting with the U.N. to
discuss the crisis of global warming.
As one of the original founders of
the Justice League and the only member
currently on earth, he serves as a
spokesmen for them and is using
this opportunity to voice his often
critical ecological views.
INT: INSIDE THE U.N. BUILDING.
AQUAMAN: Arthur Curry, born half Atlantean and half Human. Has
the power to breath underwater, communicate with sea life
telepathically and has super strength.
RED ARROW: Roy William Harper Jr. A slightly smaller robin hood
type figure with a red robin hood costume, arrows, a tight
and trimmed beard. Younger looking as well.
AL GORE: ENVIRONMENTALIST AND FORMER
VICE PRESIDENT.
AL GORE stands at the podium with AQUAMAN, RED ARROW and his ENTOURAGE
behind him.
AL GORE
(In mid speech)
...Because that's what makes a true
hero. One who understands the world
and the troubles it faces beyond
super villains. One that can stand
here and owe up to what we've done
and help us in what we need to do.
RED ARROW pats a nervous AQUAMAN on the back.
AL GORE
With that would you please give my
attention to my second favorite
super hero, Aquaman!
RED ARROW
(whispers to AQUAMAN)
Second favorite?
AQUAMAN
(Whispers back, defeated tone)
His first favorite is the Green
Lantern. Because he's green.
RED ARROW
I don't get it.
Their conversation breaks as AQUAMAN approaches the podium
to address his audience.
AQUAMAN
(Serious tone)
Ladies and gentlemen of the world.
I am not coming to you as an
ungrateful sea dweller who's not
satisfied with the progress we made
in preventing global warming. As a
human I'm proud to be among the
leaders of the world that took
responsibility and paved the way
for a more ecologically safe environment.
Instead I come to you as a person
who has a special gift which has warned
me of things to come. As many of
you know one thing unique to me is
my ability to telepathically
communicate with aquatic life.
Within the past month there has
been a great surge of activity
involving many deep sea and mid-oceanic
creatures moving closer to the
inland. They mostly sound confused but
react as if to chmigrationration.
There is something telling them
that where there is now land there
will soon be water. The awesome
mass of this diverse group of
creatures is one that would imply
that many of the continents will
soon be entirely covered with
water. This is a problem that we
need to solve now. Your scientists
need to look at the facts and see
what we can do to make things even
better and safer, for our children
and the children of the future.
Thank you for your time.
AQUAMAN leaves the podium to an awkward silence. He looks worried
as he exits with the RED ARROW.
EXT: A PUBLIC BEACH AT DUSK
ANIMAL MAN: Buddy Barker, a sleek superhero with a full blue and
yellow outfit with a large A in the middle, tinted goggles
and a leather jacket. Has the ability to borrow abilities
from any animal creature and is also and environmentalist
superhero like AQUAMAN.
ANIMAL MAN and AQUAMAN sit on a bench overlooking a public beach
at dusk. The beach is busy with swimmers and families.
RED ARROW stands on a group of rocks overlooking the water.
ANIMAL MAN and AQUAMAN are eating Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.
AQUAMAN looks defeated and down.
ANIMAL MAN
(Chipper, cool tone of voice)
The way I see it is, we're like
those artists that don't really get
their recognition till we die. I
mean I don't wanna sound morbid but part
of being a superhero is knowing
that you'll be immortalized after
you die.
AQUAMAN
(Staring into his ice cream)
I did die once. You remember that
don't you.
ANIMAL MAN
(Stunned for a moment)
Yeah but....we knew you were coming
back.
They sit again in silence. In the distance RED ARROW watches the
Seagulls dive for Mussels. Soon, he starts to fire his bow
and arrow at the mussels, allowing the Seagulls to get
within inches of them only to scare them off in the end. He
adds insult to injury by yelling "Fowl Winged Sea Rats" in a mockingly
regal tone.
ANIMAL MAN
Now that I think of it, the animals
of the land have been acting a bit
off to. Low level plain dwelling
creatures have developed a thing for
trying to get to higher and higher
elevations.
AQUAMAN
And you only thought about this
now?
ANIMAL MAN
(Dumb, drawn out response,
goofy)
Guhhhhh yeahhhhhh!
MOTHER
(In the distance)
OH NO, MY BABIES
Their conversation is broken as the large dorsal fin of an ORCA
WHALE penetrates the water and heads towards a group of
CHILDREN.
RED ARROW
(Yelling towards AQUAMAN and
ANIMAL MAN. He lifts his bow
and arrow taking aim)
Sit tight guys, I got this one.
AQUAMAN quickly jumps up and runs towards the watter. ANIMAL MAN
remains sitting continuing to eat both his and AQUAMAN's ice
cream.
AQUAMAN
Roy no! Don't do it!
AQUAMAN jumps into the water and swims towards the ORCA WHALE.
His super human strength and speed allows him to quickly
grab  the CHILDREN and bring them to shore. He then
re-enters the water, swimming past the ORCA WHALE and
punching it in the face, causing it to chase him to farther out
into the water and away from humans.
The chase ensues and they eventually reach a non-populated area
under the water. Through AQUAMAN's aquatic-telepathy, a
conversation begins between AQUAMAN and the ORCA WHALE who's
voice is a deep and intimidating one.
ORCA WHALE
What are you doing?
AQUAMAN
What am I doing? What the hell are
you doing? You belong on a
completely different side of the continent!
ORCA WHALE
Why would I belong all the way over
there if my internal instincts are
telling me to move forward.
AQUAMAN
Forward?
ORCA WHALE
Yeah, forward. To where I should
be.
The ORCA WHALE surfaces and points in the direction of
ORCA WHALE
You see? Forward. I'm not alone
either.
AQUAMAN
(Frustrated and conflicted)
Well you tell your buddies to try
and avoid these people. It's a
public beach.
ORCA WHALE
Speaking of buddies it looks like
yours want to have a chat with you.
ANIMAL MAN flies overhead.
ANIMAL MAN
(The confidence once in his
voice seems to be missing)
Hey Arthur, I've got something
important that I think you should
see.
INT: INSIDE THE HALL OF JUSTICE
Here, AQUAMAN meets with a GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, RED ARROW
and ANIMAL MAN
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL
(Pressing a key on a computer
keyboard, Grim tone in voice)
We received this tape from O.G.R.E.
a half hour ago. You may or may not
be happy to know that it solidifies
your theories.
The monitor on the computer blinks on. A figure appears
BLACK MANTA: With no real name, BLACK MANTA is a tall and impressive
figure with a primarily black wetsuit and a bug eyed helmet
with the ability to shoot lazers. 
BLACK MANTA
My patience and your ignorance lead
us to this great point. In
believing that the threats of
global warming and myself were
destroyed, it allowed me and my new
ally to band together and make each
other stronger. Advances in an
ecologically safe world still
havent tackled the social walls which
keep anyone from killing themselves
or each other. UponAQUA hiding I realized
the strength of global warming and
the great potential it had to deliver
the final mercy blow to humanity. I
soon realized that there was one great
inconvenience in it all. That was
time. My patience kept helped me accelerate
the whole process. What I've
developed are P.I.M.U.s or Polar
Icecap Melter Units. How they work
is unimportant. However, what they
do is. They accelerate the process
of melting the icecaps. It will
create great floods and storms that
will consume Earth. Out of respect
for your grieving, I will inform
you of the beginning of the end.
Before I go I have one question to
all of humanity. Why aren't
Silence falls over the room.
RED ARROW
[Makes an incoherent animal-like
moan if displeasure]
AQUAMAN stares at the now blank screen. After a few minutes, he
walks to the door without a word.
ANIMAL MAN
Hey, Arthur! Where are you going?
AQUAMAN
(In the doorway)
Home.
EXT. UNDERWATER, THE CITY OF ATLANTIS
AQUAMAN swims with brisk intensity towards the underwater city
of ATLANTIS.
AQUAMAN reaches the gates and is approached by a GUARD
GUARD
On what grounds to I let you
re-enter here blond hair
AQUAMAN
Former citizen and king. I need to
talk to Mera.
GUARD
Under strict orders I can't allow
you to talk to you ex-wi..
AQUAMAN's hands clench into fists as the GUARD coughs and corrects
himself. A smirk grows on his face.
GUARD
...the queen. We know full well of
the circumstances above. We will
not let you enter.
AQUAMAN
(With anger)
I have a right!
GUARD
We all have rights. But who's to
say yours are atlantian or human?
CAL DURHAM
(From in the distance)
That never seemed to matter with
me.
CAL DURHAM: A tall, impressive and handsome black male in
his early thirties. Wearing an all red wet suit with white
gloves and boots. Well spoken and commanding in tone and
presence. 
GUARD
I wont be ordered around by a
human.
CAL DURHAM
I wouldn't expect you to. You will,
however, be commanded by a superior
in this matter. With that, we let
Orin in.

| February 11, 2005—Nuzzling his toy elephant, an orphaned Indian rhinoceros made his public debut at California's San Diego Wild Animal Park yesterday. Born January 7, the calf is the latest of 46 born at the facility since 1978. Because his mother died of complications of childbirth, zoo workers are rearing him by hand in the park's nursery.
Listed as endangered by the World Conservation Union, the Indian rhinoceros was once at home across a large swath of Southeast Asia. Hunters still seek the rhino's horn, and developers and farmers have overtaken much of the animal's natural habitat. As a result, only about 2,000 remain in the wild, confined to isolated pockets of India and Nepal.
THat's the background
Okay
So not much new
Two loves as of now making me at a peek nerdiness
Chase Utley
And Moon Knight who many consider a Batman rip-off. To make up your own mind read his wikipedia article or the Graphic Novel "The Bottom" which kind of disproves it.
I have nothing of substance to speek of.
I feel over worked at times but what's the use in bitching too much, next month will come and it'll be something else.

I’m not sure though. A few days ago I felt as though I was walking the line of my old Panic attack type things by feeling really anxious the second my Adderall would wear off. I then decided to go to sleep earlier and it seems to have helped. The week has been flippy floppy as certain things made me feel further anxious (that I don’t talk about here because, well this isn't a bitching poll) and others that have made me feel better. I got to meet Liars who have been and always will be one of the most important bands to me ever. It was nice to see Erica and Jarrett as excited as they were (not to not count Liam but they had their two main reasons) because Jarrett's favorite band (not artist which is Gary Numan) is Liars and Erica painted them an excellent painting (which only makes me further recognize her as one of my favorite peers with regards to their artistic talent).
They were a lot less distant than I assumed they'd be which was also reassuring.
I was closer to Julian who I spoke with for a short time. Following me complementing his attire he then said "I'm just the Captain on this lonely old ship." Erica would then inform me that we are now friends with Liars and that if they ever played at the 1st Unitarian (or anywhere else at that) that if we emailed them, we'd get in for free.
So I’ve been working on music and finally got a CD full of music from my friend Mike (one of the main creative forces in 6'2yrOld). I was quite excited seeing as how modest he is when it comes down to showing his music off (and I don’t say this much, especially not of my peers, but he is one of the very few who can and should show his music off). Talking music with Mike is always incredibly refreshing. I've seldom encountered a person who is so reserved and modest, and all the while talented, about their own music. He makes it not out of Self Indulgence but with an honest heart, rarely looking for any promotion or ego boost. I might even say I’m envious of this (which is even more rare when it comes to my peers and their musical abilities). We spoke of the future of 6'2yrOld and thought that it may need an even longer hibernation to allow collaboration between Mike and I, to see where it goes. Throughout a long walk we spoke of the kind of click and chemistry there is when it comes to the two of us working on music (hours of our collaboration have not been recorded as a result of Mike's reserved nature, which is a pity because I have a lot of pride in our work). The future of our music lies in patience and equipment, hoping we find time and/or rehearsal space to actually work on said music. Needless to say I am very excited about this. As for Phantomania I’m waiting for word on Garage. Ill be patient with that seeing as I am quite content with what the future of Mike and I has to hold. If Phantomania takes off I'd be very happy to work on it whenever time allows it.
Oh and
Flyers beat Jersey
Phillies beat St. Louis
The Nationals beat the Mets (kicked their ass actually, 12 to three or something)
and the Eagles lost
Not too bad. | | |
