Ach, Relief!
After shitting myself all weekend - the coursework discussion with Sarah today wasn't as bad as I'd expected it to be. Last night I'd managed to find the two Rammstein music videos I was using as focus texts on YouTube - one of them even had subtitles. :D
The two I've chosen are Mein Teil and Rosenrot - both chosen for their lack of performances, controversial lyrics, imagery and the narrative-style of the video. Watching them with Sarah, we've both agreed that my Spieluhr video needs to have a lot of fast cuts, lots of alternating shot types and a slight control over the lighting.
Going on what we all learnt from the film trailer - we've concluded that there's one rule I need to follow:
"Film more than what you need." - do clips more than once, film extra bits, film stuff just for the sheer idea that it might come in handy.
I was also relieved to get the approval from Sarah that my script is fine - it's not TOO focused on the narrative, but there needs to be slight less straight shots of lip-synching and some somewhat obscure things adding. On that note, I need to have a think about it.
Photography was a wasted effort - though it did amuse me that Shelly had came in for no reason - Paul wasn't even there so we were sat about doing shite all. Thus, Michelle, Shelly and I spent the whole lesson fart-arsing about on Facebook. Though the college PCs have a cocked up flash-player so it never lets me post status updates to my wall. It's rather annoying, amongst other things. :/
This cunt of a kid decided to be sick on the bus on the way home - right in the fucking middle of the gangway - I had to practically long-jump over it. Bear in mind, this is while the bus is still fucking moving.
I fucking hate kids like.
*Shakes head*
Many of you know that Randy and I do NOT get along very well with his family.
His mom and I have a somewhat strained truce. She doesn't open her mouth about how I do things and I won't open my mouth about how shitty of a mom she actual was. She and Randy's step dad don't bug us and we don't bug them. We like his step dad. Even if they are none seen grandparents to our kids, they still are the second set of grandparents to the kids. Randy's mom knows the only way I keep the kids away from her and her hubby is if they do a 360 on us and start kissing ass to Randy's ex wife. We know she will ALWAYS favoritize Randy's sister and her kids over us and as long as his mom doesn't open his mouth we get along fine. Randy knows that I will go off on his mom in a heartbeat and she knows I will too if she downgrades him in front of me or I find out about it. Thus why she doesn't like me. I am "too aggressive". In otherwords, Randy married a woman who is somewhat like his mother. I rule the roost. And I demand things MY way. And she doesn't like that when she is around me and my family.
Randy's sister. She threatened me when she was in Germany the year Randy and I were preggie with DeLaney. Why? Because I went the FARK off on his mom about how shitty of a mother she actually was...Plus I said a few other hard truths to both Randy and his mom concerning what will be accepted towards my kids and what wouldn't. I made Randy's mom cry! Boo fucking hoo! Can't handle the truth then don't start shit with me. When Randy's sister threatened to come back from Germany on some of her leave time to "kick my ass" Randy started laughing at her and said: "Best bring the US Army with you soldier girl! My wife will kick your ass and hand deliver it to my brother in law. Your training doesn't mean shit to her because she is mean and can't stand how this family treats me." Once his sister realized what his mom had done (not going into that) she called back and said sorry to Randy. Randy pointed out that she best apologize to me. I did get my apology 6 years later at Randy's Grandmother's funeral. Randy and his sister do NOT get along. They have our addy and phone number. We have theirs. We keep up on our neices and nephews. We support where ever they get staition by both Randy's sister and her hubby being 20 year carerr soldiers in the Army. And we don't bother them. They don't bother us. Randy's sister and her family kling to her husband's family (even though he is an only child he has TONS of cousins) and we accept that. Just like they accept MY family is our rock.
Randy's dad. He is an asshole PLAIN and simple. He married a bible thumping bitch. And lets just say, my kids have not seen that fucker in over 5 years. He wants to kiss Randy's lying sack of shit whory ex wife. He caters to what ever husband she is married to at the time. Places her son who is NOT his grandchild above even his daughter's children. Every time we have turned around int he last three years we have been back in the home area, he is attempting to get me and Randy up in his town. Why? Because he wants to let Randy see his girls fromt he bitch. We would lvoe to but we don't have legal rights to them anymore and as soon as Randy's ex wife finds out we saw them after his dad set things up even with OUT our knowledge she would have charges pressed. A judge even had to point out to Randy's ex wife that we gave up parental rights freely and since we all three are from the tri state area, we would eventually bump into the girls and no charges could be pressed if that happened. Randy's dad is closing on 70 and he wants to see his "grandbabies". He has even stopped in at Randy's place of work trying to talk Randy into bringing the kids up to see him with out MY knowledge! Randy has point blank told that peice of shit that I am their mother and I will know where my kids are at! And he himself does NOT want his children seeing his father because of his backstabbing perverted bullshit ways nor do we want our children around his bible thumping wife who rather kiss his ex wife's ass!
Well get this! Last month the asshole invited all of us to his Legion Unit's Veteran's Day party. Randy said no until you get it through your head my ex wife is NOT your daughter then you don't need anything to do with me or my family. His dad pulled out well I am old I want to see the only grandson that carries MY last name! I'll sue you under grandparental rights...Randy started lauging at him and said you do that dad and you can finally see why the Bitch (that would be Randy's ex wife) is so scared of Jackie! I am not worried about it. Because MY entire immediate and extended family will back me up. Randy's sister got wind of the threat via their dad and she told off their dad off also.
According to his dad, he doesn't have much to do with Randy's ex wife anymore...That is why when messing around on the comp yesterday we find his dad on Facebook and has both the girls (which that is fine) but also Randy's exwife! We have Randy's sister and brother in law. His dad didn't even attempt to look his own daughter up on facebook!
And that fucker wonders why we dislike him and his wife! Constantly kissing Randy's ex wife's ass! And treating his own kids like shit!

On my birthday, two months ago, I purchased a new phone, the "Palm Pre". It does nearly everything I've always wanted a phone to do...... well... the only thing it currently doesn't let me do: Log into Mindsay. That's ok... It's the least of my concern. :p
I've been keeping myself busy, productive, and creative lately. And at the same time, I've developed a lifestyle I never knew I would ever end up having. My work schedule has been easier and steady lately, since I've been getting home from work a lot earlier.
So, I'm sure those of you who still keep in touch with me on Twitter and Facebook know, I am now officially an "amateur poker player". When I said "keeping myself busy", poker has been one of them. Not only am I known in just one or two sports bars, I am recognized as a cunning and tricky "card shark" all over Houston, TX and surrounding cities. They used to call me Roger. But now, they have sorta coined a nickname for me: Hot Sauce. Even when I laid low from the poker scene during August and October, I always qualified for the City Championship events. Here are a few expected events that I will be attending:
- Wednesday, November 11 @ Fox & Hound South, Houston, TX: October City ChampionshipThere's another thing that's been keeping me busy. But that's for a friends-only entry. :) :) :) :) ;) <3
- Sunday, November 15 @ B.B. Wolf's, Stafford, TX: Quarterly Regional Hold'em Poker Championship
And slowly, I am drifting from the poker tables to the pool tables. Again, not my choice, but I seem to be getting into that, too.
But I choose not to forget my guitar. I have been picking it up lately, singing these songs of freedom, it's all I've ever had; redemption songs. Thank you Bob Marley! I am slowly emancipating myself from mental slavery.
Oh, and couple more things:
Wordpress (http://callmeroger.wordpress.com): I have one. I don't expect all of you to check it out. But it is dedicated specifically for my poker life (statistics, wins, losses, records). But if you have the time and if it isn't so much to ask, I'd like to hear your opinion on the simple and humble template design. How does it look? :)
And for the "Mindsay Reunion Blog Tour", I will be responding to the comments, and I will be commenting and replying on yours tomorrow. Thanks!
p.s. After writing this entry, I just might stay here in Mindsay a bit longer. :)
