Sigh - Suck is life.
So I've heard it through the grapevine that the qualifiers have been notified already. Which Means The Wild Thing didn't make it. Which sucks, but what are you going to do?

So apparently there are 30 videos out there better than mine. Which honestly they must have been hiding because the shit I saw was just that.
There were so many forced videos of "OMG let's go on a roadtrip... for some reason." "Hey don't forget your guitar!". But Whatever, all I can do is say Youtube & Toyota have no taste and go on with my day.

Anyway So I'm gearing up for scriptfrenzy. There's another blog about it here.

You might have heard wrong...

...because Spricket24 and I haven't heard anything yet either, and as you said, we both watched the other videos tagged as "sketchies2" and there weren't 30 I could even sit through to the end.

I know the contest rules said finalists would get an email by Friday, but I haven't heard from ANYONE who's actually received one.

You know I think these recent events prove to be the perfect truth/irony in my life. The things I'm most passionate about fail and the things I almost never do, or do spur of the moment win.

Stop being so damn emo. You know that's MY thing. ;)

But yeah, I hear ya. As a wannabe musician who actually started a separate yt channel because he was sick of getting 20-30 comments making fun of his efforts, I hear ya.

it's not emo, just a point of fact.

'Wild Thing' was something I spent a lot of time and effort on; organized actors, a shooting schedule, promoted the shit out of...

and the Zine video I almost didn't even put online...

I guess it's like the 80/20 principle. Effort and output aren't proportional.

I agree with what you have attempted to say. I believe there is truth in this entry of your... but I have NEVER been more disapointed with you than I am right now! Are you letting your talent get to your head? Do you know that many people want or claim to have what you have but never get it?

So you have spoken the truth... but was it necessary? You are not the type of person to say something negative about people who are trying what you are trying to do... but just with less talent. I see this in you... so why are you doing it now?

Maybe the people who made the bad, unoriginal videos have the same dream as you! Maybe one day they will get their with experience... because part of talent is experience. I know there was probably a time when you could not make a good video. It was not necessary at all to say anything negative about the other entries.

As for you not getting picked... it takes experienced talent to recognized experienced talent. And just because you are now experienced does not mean you need to call people down because of this!

It is clear that you have the talent and that you will make it someday. But to make it you need to make it with the right people who recognize your brilliance.

It is very clear that you are a good person that that you VERY WELL KNOW AND BELIEVE in what I am saying. I know you have already come to these conclusions. You are too intelligent and caring to not have!

So don't let yourself get a big head over it! This may just be one slip up, but for you this is pretty bad! This is not Sam Proof.

Stay positive, stay thankful and STAY STRONG!

Yeah, that's right. It's me.

A Goodbye to Last Forever

So our paths will most likely never cross, not in real life anyway. But I felt compelled to tell you how I feel about you, even if I am too chicken to reveal my own identity. It is probably that logical part of me that keeps remembering the distance between us.

I have searched for a guy like you all my life. And I cannot understand why you haven’t always have women chasing after you. So what if you don’t have a constant job… you are following your dream. You are real, you are true, and you are passionate. There is no real security in life any. Only the false sense we all desperately try and create.

You have created an entire new standard for me with guys. And the only person I will ever settle for will be someone like you. You are proof (lol) that the type of guy I want does exist. So thank you for being that proof Mr. Proof.

I guess what I am trying to do is say goodbye… even though we’ve never met… even though we’ve only passed but a few words between us… with me as myself. But you have gone straight to my heart so that makes a difference and I know that you will not think badly of me revealing all of this either. That is not your way… I wouldn’t love you if you were an asshole.

But you never know… maybe someday… somehow the opportunity will arise for me to reveal myself to you… yet this is unlikely and I can deal with that… but it saddens me more than I care to admit.

Really I am just glad I know someone like you exists. Again you represent the proof to so many things I wished to be true. Maybe that is enough… maybe that is the point. But life doesn’t stand still, like moves on. If I chose a moment in time to stand in forever I would miss so many things. So this will be my last message to you Sam Proof… for it is time to move on from wishing for a moment in which we could share something… I don’t know what… I wouldn’t have cared.

So goodbye.
I hope you find all the happiness you deserve.
Love Lily Moon.
I’ll always love you basically.
So whenever you are sad or feeling alone just remember that I do.
Even if I exist only as these words on a page to you… but you are a novelist… you know the power of words… and you know that somehow they live forever.
