A tiny light brings Hope in the Darkest of hours

I've been pretty irritable lately. But then again, things have been really shitty, so it's not without cause.

Since I've moved to Florida, nothing but misery and misfortune have befallen me and the people I love.

In particular, getting fired in this state, with a fraction of the film/television production work that was here four years ago...I was really fucked. I will not lie and say I've never been closer to swift and blinding violence as I've been the past few weeks.

Jami and I relocated here for the simple reason that we thought the show was going to "become something". That may or may not be true, but it's 1)happening too slowly and 2)happening without me. So in either case I really don't give a crap.

Incidentally, (since absolutely nothing reminded me of it) I read a great article on a mobster website about pistol whipping. It was a very articulate scientific/medical explanation about why it' so terrible.

As some of you may or may not know, when you hit something with your first, or even a nice knee or elbow, you're still bashing something with relatively the same density against something else...bone against bone. Granted, jaw and cheek bones are more fragile, so they typically loose.

The article points out that gun metal is particularly dense. It's specifically made dense enough to withstand lots of heat and repeated actions without wearing down at all. This means a really, really dense atomic structure.

The article describes how wood, or even an aluminum bat will "give" a little and this reduced the kinetic energy transferred to the skull or jaw. They did point out that short lead pipes react in the same way as guns.

At any rate, the mob used good ol' fashioned pistol whipping because it caused massive amounts of trauma to the head and face in very little time. It got into some medical stats that I didn't understand, but what I was able to take away from it was this; a good crack from a pistol in the face can be better than several repeated blows to the mug from a closed fist. So in the future, if you find time is of the essence...

NOW, as far as the light goes...I have an interview this week and I got a response from a production company about my resume. They're waiting for my reel, and then setting up an interview as well.

Also Jami has already had two interviews, and has another tomorrow. It looks like financial ruin will have to wait.

If the job pays anything more than what I made on the show, we should have enough money to move to LA by the end of our lease in November.

I apologize that I don't have anything funny to post about...I just wanted to post in general. I figured SOMEBODY should post something.

Homo...homo caprice....this means you two guys.
