The perfect song on the perfect drive to make you feel infinite.
Writing screenplays is incredibly hard. I can't call it joy. Writing Novels? Joy. Directing? Joy. Writing Screenplays? That's where you pay all your dues.
This moment will just be another story someday.
It's strange to describe reading a book as a really great experience, but that's kind of how it felt.
To tell you the truth I love Sam. It's not a movie kind of love either. I just look at her sometimes and I think she is the prettiest and nicest person in the whole world.

So I started shoveling Bob's driveway, which is a strange thing to do at a New Years Eve Party
I'm just thinking too fast-- much too fast.
It’s strange how things can change back as suddenly as they changed originally. When one thing happens and suddenly, things are back to normal.
