The Next Rob Reiner, Bitches!

I think I'll start this short post (I plan for it to be very short, anyways) with the mention of my first movie release.
It's a really short film... In fact, it's as though a short film and a mini film got together and had a baby and it turned out to be a midget. In other words, its really short.

You can get the movie in a few ways. If you have a program to view/listen to podcasts or any other sort of RSS or XML aggregator such as Doppler or FeedDemon, you can point a new feed to http://feeds.feedburner.com/prynce-podcast.
If you use an online aggregator such as BlogLines or Yahoo's new reader, you can just click that link up there and then click on the image for your specific online aggregator or newsreader and then you will be able to see it from there.

But if you don't use RSS/XML or podcasting software, you can just download it like you would any other file.
For those of you on a really slow connection that don't have the time to download the file (its only a couple of megabytes), then you can click here to get the movie in a zip file. This version of the file is under one megabyte.
If you don't care much about speed (either you just don't care or you have cable/DSL/T1/T3/etc.) and want to be able to view the movie without having to unzip it, you can just click here and you can download the uncompressed file.

So watch it, folks. Let me know what you think. If you thought it sucked, tell me. If you thought it was cool, tell me. If you thought it was pretty stupid, without a point, and a waste of time, then you're right on cue. Tell me so.

I also wanted to add a little something about mortality as it has been on my mind lately.

Dig, in May of this year, my grandmother who basically raised me, died (or was murdered via negligence) in a nursing home. It didn't hurt me too badly, though, as she had suffered from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's among other things for some years and she hadn't been herself in a long time.

Then a couple of weeks ago, this guy whom I only sort of knew back in about 6th grade died. Last I remember of him was in 6th grade graduation. My last name was 'Cox' and his was 'Covington' so we were right beside each other apart from this one girl being in between us. I can't say that I ever as much as spoke to the guy but he was pretty funny sometimes and I remember being entertained by him. He also reminded my of ODB (Old Dirty Bastard) so he really stuck in my mind.
But a few weeks ago, Shannon's dad (he's a cop) was telling us about some guys getting shot at a club and that one of them was bad off and in the hospital. He told me his name but it rang no bells, 'cause I never really knew him well by his real name. A few days later, though, her dad said they 'pulled the plug' on him.
It wasn't until a few days later when I looked at the local newspaper and saw that his nickname was 'Squeaky' until I realized who he was.

Then not even a week ago, a guy that Shannon knew and that we both went to high school with was killed in a car crash. I don't think we ever even exchanged as much as a single word and I'm almost unsure if I ever even saw him before, but it still kind of affected me.

Then just a day or two ago, Shannon's dad told us about a guy committing suicide who lived about 5 miles from my house. I found out today that he was 17 and apparently, Shannon's brother knew him. I'm not sure if I ever saw the guy or not, though. I may have graduated before he reached high school. But this affected me, too. Not only did he live relatively close to me, but he clearly was depressed from what I've heard and I have thought about suicide many times and made a few (though seemingly half-ass) attempts. Plus he was so young. Its sticking with me, too.

Then there's the famous people who have died. A great young comedian named Mitch Hedgeburg(SP?) died. Not to mention Bob Denver (Gilligan, Maynard G.) and most recently Don Adams (Maxwell Smart, Inspector Gadget).

I dunno exactly why I'm posting about this. I guess I'm just trying to get it all off of my mind. I'm one of these people who can't stop thinking about things like that especially when I'm alone. The thoughts just linger and get to me even if I didn't know the person.

But forgive my little 'spill', here. I just felt compelled to talk about it.

Time for bed, though. You people watch my movie and let me know what you think.

Shannon -
I found out last night that I knew his sister. I have never known her well or anything, but I knew her.
And as I told you before, some other guy shot and killed himself no more than like 1/4 mile from where the other guy did. He was playing Russian Roulette.

Darrell -
We're gonna both be the next Rob Reiner. lol. He's a big fella.
I'm hoping that next time Shannon and I are down, we can make some movies with you for Current. I found out their pay scale, BTW.
We'll need to get a capture card before we can send the movies in, but hopefully that problem will be soon remedied.

I fear for Rian's life more than anything. Much like we were discussing when you said you'd punch Jesus, I'd make that bitch suffer then probably off myself, too. Its hell on me being away from the lil guy for a few hours.
But he's also probably saved me a few times over the past year and a half (since I found out he was comin') 'cause I've had some really big down points that I've kept to myself that were almost too much to take.
But if someone even caused pain towards Rian, they may not die, but they're gonna have nightmares until they do.

Carrie -
I used to and I fucking miss it every day. If not for the chance of someone trying to take Rian away from me, I'd probably still be doing it even after I got the laced shit.
You should have known me when I did smoke. I could smoke a little one day a week and I'd be on top of the world all week. And creativity was falling out of my ass.

The script I use for my random liberal bumper sticker can almost certainly be modified. I'll see about tweaking it for what you need it for and I'll get back at ya.

And Rob Reiner is the shit.
He did 'Princess Bride'! And he also did the most amazing movie ever... 'North'. HA!!!!! Try saying that shit with a straight face. But, yeah. He did 'This Is Spinal Tap' and 'When Harry Met Sally' among other things.

All In the Family is the shit! Carrol O'Conner was great and Norman Lear never had a bad series.

Rob Reiner's dad, Carl, did a lot of classic TV. He was behind one of my favorite shows, 'The Dick Van Dyke Show'.

Peyton's Jesus. Colts fuckin' own.
And the Patriots lost to the Chargers. Not only did I want that to happen, I predicted it. Fuckin' broke their home winning streak. DREW BREES AND LT FUCKIN' RULE!
Raiders won, too.
49er's were going down in flames last I saw. Pity, though. Hamilton was the last hope to give this town a name.
The Vikings lost, too, but they're to blame for getting rid of Moss. Plus they were playing the Falcons...
Tampa Bay won, too.
And the Bengals. They're 4-0 this season too. THE FUCKING BENGALS, PEOPLE! What the fuck?

But anywho, UNC won yesterday and I was really pleased with how all the games went today so I'm only hoping Carolina tears ass tomorrow. Too bad I'll have to be flipping to Raw.
