Alan & Lloyd

"SIR STAND BACK, I KNOW THE HEIMLICH MANEUVER!"

by Connor

Three things to touch and feel and love on:

My student short film, 'Alan & Lloyd' is now on the internets. You can play it, above. It's twenty minutes long, though, so make sure you have twenty minutes. Here is the description I put on vimeo for it:

"This is one of two versions of mine and Will Boesl's student film "Alan & Lloyd". The other is just this version, minus two fifths, with an abbreviated credits, and some small audio changes. Overall, the "Contest Cut" (which is what we call the other version) is far less superior and you aren't missing out on anything.

It's hard to explain what this is about. I doesn't have a main story, but a bunch of small stories. I guess it's about two friends hanging out in a car. There, that's enough of a synopsis."

Also I mention to check out this site in the description, but that would be redundant. Also I mention mine and Will's myspace, so go there. Also we got Amir Blumenfeld of beingfamous and Jake and Amir fame to do a small voice over for it, and you should check out his site(s). Also also also.

The second thing is that the zazzle store is back up, with a new shirt, and this time, if you buy from the store, I GET MONEY. SO DO IT. NOW. (You probably won't understand the shirt without reading this thread on FCF) Here's a link to the store (it's also up at the top right)

Thirdly a new episode of the podcast is up. I'll be modifying the site for it to include the url for the iTunes podcast, so if you would rather be subscribed to it, then click here and get the link (or look above the store link), or click here to open it in iTunes.

P.S. New article coming this week.

Hai, My Name Is Connor, And I Hate EVERYTHING GASHFLSDFGOISDFG.

"Everyone Hates George"

by Connor.

(ZOMG: some PG-13 level language)

All I want to do, is have some fun looking around on myspzeaacseasasdf, but suddenly I get punched in the face with opinions, and I have a feeling, I'm not the only one.

Enough of that.

But like I said, this myspaceasdlfjkasdflkjasdlfkjasdlfkjasdlfj seems to have given people the notion that their opinion has never been heard before, and that they're exceptionally independent and that they aren't just reiterating some kind of vague idea that's been said a million times over (which I would never do).

And it isn't just on myapooiasodasu0fasreasjfasjerasiueraweoiurtw09485qw34ih5qw4l5nerf.

Now, let me clear this up, I have nothing against people voicing their opinions, but then again, hearing sixteen-year-old girls scream about how how much Bush sucks (especially after they've consumed an entire bottle of Bacardi minus the soda) gets really old, even if Bush does in fact suck (an opinion I'm moderate about, in truth I really don't give a shit one way about politics).

Here's a few other examples:

I'm sitting in class and someone mentions some slutty Freshman getting knocked up and this leads to abortions which leads to an hour long debate about abortions. The problem is, everything they're saying has been said before and everyone has heard it. The same goes for 9/11 conspiracies or anything else having to do with the government.

I was hoping that this political wide-openness/blatant-retardedness would have died down, and people who don't know about something would shut the fuck up about things they don't know about (I'm looking at you half-of-Hollywood). But instead, it's leaked into other things.

I'm going to reiterate again that I'm middle of the line when it comes to my politics and beliefs. For every one thing I have a conservative notion about (i.e. abortion) I have a liberal notion about something else (i.e. gay marriage).

I'm on myaouasdfoiajsdfopice and a girl I know has a picture of herself wearing a Texas Aggie jersey on. Cool, I like A&M, so I say "Gig'em." I come back another day and see a torrent of people saying things like, "More like Texas 'Faggies'", and "I would say you look good, except that jersey", and "A&M sucks".

We get it, you all think A&M is for fags, now shut up.

We get it, you all think Bush is a fag, now shut up.

We get it, you all have one of two opinions on abortion, now shut up.

"We get it, you hate people that open their mouths without some kind of informed opinion or something new to offer, now shut up..."

Fine.

Myspace. Serious Business.

Most Myspacers uphold this belief.

My guess is that the majority of the people reading this know what a bulletin on Myspace is... if not, it's basically a message you send out that everyone can read, they were designed so people could tell people of upcoming gatherings, or other important things. Of course, nothing is used for what it's designed for.

I am now here to present you with the most mind-blowingly awesome types of bulletins ever posted. These kinds pretty much make up the majority of the bulletins... well this and quizzes about guys or some such crap. Click the images for larger versions. (NOTE: I edited a name out of #4, a curse word and a URL out of #5, and several vulgarities out of #6)

Type 1: Just Lyrics
I'm not certain these really are lyrics to a song, because I don't listen to emo garbage, but the angst really touches me in a "hate-my-parents, wish-I-was-wearing-eyeliner" type of way.

Type 2: omfg new picz lulz

At least this one didn't have the compulsory beg for comments... Oh, and BTW, i've like totaly put new pics on the macros, so like comment!

Type 3: Conversations


Little known fact about Myspace, apparently the "Message" option is unavailable for annoying people.

Type 4: Stories Everyone Cares About

I really can't think of anything to say, except that everyone loves the meanderings of boring people. And did I tell you about yesterday? I went to the store and got some balloons. It was awesome.

Type 5: haxx0rz

People also less than three free ringtones.

Type 6: #$&@!

Haven't you heard? Random curse words that have no meaning is the new black.

if i forgot anyone just MSG me and i'll totaly add you later, im like really tired, k!
