Abstract Mind

Everything doesn't have to make sense, but you must always have a purpose.
 

One Word: BORED

I'm just going to come right out and say it: I don't have much of a life.

Ever since I could remember, my life has been composed of school...and, well yeah that's about it. I find it quite unfortunate that the most social activity I get is at school. From 8:15 to 3:05, I am interacting with people. The moment school ends, it is home, to my room and onto the internet.

I don't even want to say that the social networking that I endure online is "real" social activity. When I think social, I think being in the presence of others, communicating verbally; not so much creating back pain and headaches on the other side of a computer screen or encouraging carpal tunnel syndrome at an early age as a result of texting avidly on a cellphone.

This may be a cliche, but the world has indeed turned to cyberspace to get most things accomplished - the majority of the world, at least. I am currently sitting here typing away to kill time, trying to avoid boredom, but it's not working.

Maybe two years ago, I could say that the internet would be my cure for boredom, but quite frankly, I am tired of the internet. I am tired of facebook, I am tired of twitter, I am tired of google. Nothing about the internet is exciting anymore.

Many of you can tell me I should just "go do something," but its not that easy. I don't live near a park, the air outside my home is not "fresh," and I don't have any money. Yea, I went there - money! You need money and a means for transportation to have fun.

In the confides of my room, there is just no escape.

I'm bored. Blah.
 

My New-found Interest

Recently, I have realized that I might want to start writing out my own scripts to short films and directing them. Although I like writing stories that you read on paper, I never thought to turn them into films; however, between listening to music and having to do a lot of skits and acting in my speech and debate class, I discovered that I actually have a keen interest in playwright.

While acting is sometimes fun, I think if I were to follow through with this interest, I would enjoy more writing the scripts and directing - I would rather leave the acting to people who are more outgoing and actually good at it.

I think right now I want to do films that send messages pairing acting with a particular song, in other words films without dialogue. I already have some ideas in mind and I want to begin writing immediately. Eventually, I am going to start writing out dialogue and such, but I don't want to jump right into that just yet.

Perhaps I can enter my works in to different competitions and such, but I need to get a team of individuals to help me out. Actors, camera-savvy individuals and editors. I'll write first and figure out that later.

P.S. As of yesterday, I am now 18 and "legal." I feel the same...
