I'm tired. I could sleep. I should sleep.
But, I feel compelled to write something.
This post is not it.
Earlier this evening, I was driving, and I was listening to some new songs I put onto my iPod, and I got the urge to make a movie. This is a reoccurring urge, for those who don't know.
I'm not a big film buff. I like watching movies, but the movies I like watching aren't always award winners (i.e. Orange County, Saving Silverman, and Galaxy Quest to name a few). I mean, I like a lot of movies, and I don't only like stupid comedies, but I also like drama, action, tragedy, film noir. The only genre I don't really enjoy is horror. Not because I'm afraid, but because, I don't find the plots to be enjoyable, also I'd rather not watch someone get decapitated, unless it's some battle scene of an action movie. A very violent action movie.
What is your greatest fear? Tell me (willingly).
I cannot say what my number one greatest fear is. But I can say that one of my greatest fears is settling for love.
I love a lot of things. Although I struggle with my faith more than I should, I know I will always be loved, and I will always love God. Same goes with my family. I love my friends, but I don't know if they all love me back, but I still love them.
I'm stuck on this idea of making a movie about NOT settling for love. People have told me that this is stupid. Okay, maybe not as direct as that, but I can pick up on subtle hints.
The kind of movies I like best, are the ones where in the end, nobody is happy. I don't know why. I would never want my life to end that way. I want to be a happy person. And for the most part, I think I am.
But there is something so intriguing about tragedy. I can't put it into words at the moment. Mostly because my vocabulary sucks.
But I think, for me, the ultimate tragedy would be to settle for love. I understand that somethings are not in our hands. Fate is beyond our control, and it doesn't always favor us. But you never know how things turn out unless you wait.
I know, this post is stupid. It's so ridiculously random. I'm jumping from here, to there, back to here again and I apologize.
I've been typing some stuff out on Word. Not a screenplay, because I don't know how to write one. (There is a certain way to write a screenplay) But more of a background story, or a pool of thoughts that I can just sift through later on.
I have a general idea of how I want my movie to begin, and I know how I want my movie to end (think tragedy). I just don't know how I would put it all together, in a believable/interesting plot. I'm working on it, in my head.
The clock reads 5:45 AM.
Good morning?

I never think about what my greatest fears... so I don't know what it is.
