Scraped and Sober

Shit went down with my roommate, on top of being unemployed, computer-less and without a car.

Because of all of this, instead of spending the summer in San Francisco, I am back in Lynnwood, Washington indefinitely. The cosigner for my school loans fell through, so I need to find another means to get back down to California.

It's very depressing, and a huge blow to my ego to be back. I had a lot of pride being down in San Francisco. I felt proactive. Now that I'm back, however, I'm going to use this time to get as much work in as possible in regard to filmmaking.

I'm working on two scripts, and I'm committed to finishing both within the year. I'm going to use what resources I have--the library, Netflix, etc.--to continue educating myself. The way I see it, I'm a permanent student of film and I need to be more devoted now more than ever.

Regardless of how shitty the circumstances of me coming back are, it's good to see some familiar faces. I lucked out on getting a job at the movie theater with the managers I used to work with. Now, I just need to get some money.
