The finalists for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation Student Internship Program for summer 2008 have been selected.  Unfortunately, you were not chosen for this year's program.  The judges, who are all members of the Academy and work in the area in which you submitted, carefully reviewed your entry materials.  As the number of submissions continues to grow each year, the competition was, as always, very tough.  Not being chosen as a finalist should not discourage you.  This is an extremely competitive industry and it is important that you continue to work toward your goals.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Offff course. I'm not sure why,but a small part of me really thought i had a chance. i chose not to smother that little voice in my head. it felt good to believe for awhile. oh well. next year.

also, people disappoint me. another broken promise, another reason to move on. thank you.

This summer i want to crank out a couple of spec scripts. One for How I Met your Mother, and and original one. And katie from class says her friend is starting a publishing company and wants some writers. I guess I should really put a dent in my collection of short stories.

Grad school is done for the summer, yet why do i feel like i have no time still. oh that's because i keep taking on activities that i dont really have the time for. like coaching a high school team. while working full time. and getting my masters. and coaching a u12 team. what...is....the matter with me? i don't have the answers.

maybe if i'm so busy i dont have time to stop and think about the disappointments.

last nights episode of the Office...priceless. Of course i had a soccer game at the same time so i watched it at work this morning. they get better and better. SEASON FINALE NEXT WEEK! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

My second book i ordered from Amazon came yesterday. Scroll down if you don't remember what i bought.

I've been reading and researching, and I'm pretty excited about the possibility to doing this. like  ACTUALLY doing this. of course my mantra in my head is "not until you finish school"

who needs a masters when you can write amazing scripts?

"not until you finish school"

but thats so long away. what if i lose the tenacity to move to LA and try this?

"not until you finish school"

damn you mind. why can't that nagging thought get out!?!??!

but at least some things are going well here. the head coach at Zionsville High School is interested in me coaching their freshman team. i was very flattered. i'm not sure if i could do it, it's much more of a committment and i have what else...SCHOOL twice a week. and they shoud practice every day.

besides this blog, i haven't written much new material. i find myself too tired to at the end of the day. but this weekend i just have games to coach and i'm gonna go some major relaxing and hopefully some writing.

my life is complete now that How I Met Your Mother, One Tree Hill, and The Office are all new and back in my life. I've also been netflixing My Name is Earl...amazing show. But it's time to get ready for the new Indiana Jones movie. I always loved how Indiana was in his name. I feel special.

Little 500 was this weekend. Solid b+ weekend. points taken away for one of my friends having a meltdown outside of bennys. but other than that, i had a BLAST. played in the alumni game, got real drunk, creeped on some freshman. woke up on monday and decided that those kind of weekends should be left for the young and in shape. i feel like i was beat with a sockful of nickles.

it's so nice out. makes me want to run and run and run. and when i have time, i do. i run until my lungs burn, my legs ache, and until the music in my ears drown out my thoughts of los angeles, being a failure, and having a mediocre life.

Jordan! MOVE TO LA WITH ME AND LETS WRITE SCRIPTS TOGETHER.

Ladies and Gents, i present to you the pride and joy of the SJC 2008 alumni game:
