She Is My Amour

She came into my life 6 years ago, or maybe 5, not to sure about when or how but I know its been a long time and I guess ever since we came in contact, we stayed in contact. If you asked me why, I couldn’t tell you, I guess there is this bond we have, that cannot be broken. Every situation that could happen to break up a friendship, happened and yet here we are years later.

Its funny, we can fight, insult each other, ignore each other, block each other and even delete one another but we always seem to run back to each other. I tried to push her away many times and I cant do it cause at the end of the day, I simply want her, and that’s that. Its me wanting to be in her life.

We have retarded arguments and serious arguments but the point is, those arguments are nothing cause we had them a hundred times before and it still doesn't break us, it really just makes us stronger.

I don’t quite know what she is to me, she isn’t a friend cause if she was, this friendship would have been over by now. This is something much more special, its more bigger then a bond, maybe its love? I don’t know but its something special, cause if it wasn’t, all those times I deleted her or all the times she deleted me, would have worked and yet we seem to always run back to each other.

I couldn’t leave her side even if wanted to cause I know in the back of my mind I would worry about her and she would always be on my mind and that’s when I would bring her back into my life and I’m sure she feels the same way.

She may question how I feel about her at times but she knows and I know, there is no breaking this bond. If there was in fact no feelings at all in this ‘special bond’ then I wouldn’t be writing this for her today, we wouldn’t be speaking after so many years.

It doesn't matter how many times we argue, or block each other cause we always seem to run back to each other.

In life you have ‘heroes’, ‘idols’, ‘mentors’ but i have none of those. I do have something like that though, its like a bullet proof vest, and ‘its’ not an ‘it’, its a girl, this girl is my bullet proof vest and whether Id like to fight it at times of arguments, I know she is much more then my bullet proof vest but rather my armor.

TV News: James Franco Going To General Hospital

James Franco - star of all three Spider Man films, as well as blockbusters like Milk - is joining the cast of General Hospital.

He'll be playing a mysterious character – the details are too hot to share now – who will interact with most of Port Charles and in particular, make Jason's life a living hell. Expect James to start airing on November 20, and he'll appear on the show for multiple weeks.

The coolest part about this? James approached General Hospital about joining the cast.

"We are thrilled to announce that James Franco will play an integral part in a lengthy run on General Hospital this fall. It's an honor that an actor of James' caliber would choose to spend some of his valuable time in Port Charles," said Jill Farren Phelps, GH's executive producer.

TV News: "Smallville" casting scoop

MARTIAN MANHUNTER RETURNS!

Smallville’s upcoming Justice Society-themed two-parter has added another headliner. Exec producer Kelly Souders confirms that the highly anticipated eppys (titled “Society” and slated to air in early 2010) will mark the return of Phil Morris as Martian Manhunter.

Penned by comic book hero Geoff Johns, “Society” marks the arrival of Justice Society members Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and Stargirl. The abundance of special guest stars is what prompted Souders and fellow showrunner Brian Peterson to expand the episode into two parts.

“To be honest, there were so many characters and so much great story that people would’ve been robbed of some great moments if we kept it to just one hour,” says Sounders. “So now that it’s a two-parter, you won’t miss anything.”

Lost Angels

They use to call this the city of dreams but after Marilyn Monroe and her death, it seems like all the lives that end up here, end up like nightmares. The stars on the side walk is pretty much just a famous graveyard except there is no bones barred under it. Figuratively speaking, no actual bones lay under the Hollywood stars side walk but if you wanna speak about sweat, blood and tears, there so many demons, bones and ghost under this town that you may as well call it a breeding ground for the devil.

People come to this city, with dreams and hope for the best..when all they get in return is heartbreak, disappointment and loneliness. You need to be tough in this city, you need to have an open mind, you need to know how to dodge bullets (perhaps literally) and you need to not feel pain. You cant stay down when your being kicked, you need to stand up and make your self more different then the other 30 thousand that go there with a dream. The difference between you and everyone else is that, your determination needs to be high.

They call it ‘The City Of Angels’ and yet that is ironic cause this city may be filled with angels of famous deceased stars but in reality, its filled with devils, people waiting to end your career, people wanting things from you and not caring what you want in return. If you cant fight and stand up and your determination is lacking, then this town will eat your ass up and spit you out and all you will ever be is a ‘could have been’.

Your dream needs to be bigger then everyone else's, you need to jump high for your dream, so then you can fly with the angels up above.

Average Joe: Average Day

Joseph spun around in his chair staring at the ceiling wondering when this day would end. He hated speaking to people from other countries about ‘how to use the satellite’ but what he hated more was speaking to someone who didn’t know damn English.
He kept spinning, until his big shot boss came around and caught him but he didn’t say anything to him, he just gave him a ‘I know what your doing and you better stop’ kinda glare. His boss was a boss who tried too hard, he tried to be cool, though he rocked a comb over and usually on lunch break when the boss wasn’t around, the staff would poke fun at him and how ‘trying’ he was.

From across the room, Joe could hear a Radiohead song “Paranoid Android” on someone else's computer. He always wondered what was with people and the fascination with Radiohead or perhaps Thom Yorke. He would hear from people ‘how smart Thom was as a musician’ and yet the Radiohead music always seemed to fail in his books. What he also didn’t understand was how a mother could name her son Thom and not Tom, I mean was that saying Thom Yorkes mom couldn’t spell or she just had a lisp and she didn’t wanna embarrass him when she could call him ‘Tom’, whether it was Thoms misspelled name, Radioheads boring music or the guy with huge glasses listening to it, Joe just didn’t wanna hear it today.

So breaking the average day outline, he decided he would do something spontaneous and leave without telling anyone so he walked out of the building and jumped in his car and drove and drove to any destination. As he was driving, the weather started turning for the worst and started raining, which he would then question why there was rain and/or how people in the UK or Seattle or Finland or Vancouver could handle such a problem. The rain fell and his thoughts ran but up ahead a girl was waiting for a drive, she was hitchhiking and Joe was the man to pick her up.

She thanked him for picking her up in the rain and he said “your welcome”, she said
her name was Lilly and he introduced himself and mentioned she had pretty eyes, she blushed and said something like “oh well jeez thanks” and also she mentioned was feeling a tad hungry, he brushed it and didn't think anything of it. Silence fell in on the car as if someone just hit the mute button, which then led to her asking if she can bite him, he said “what do you mean bite me?” and that’s when Lilly bit him, with the blood poring out of his neck, the car drove off the Cliff and into the woods with Thom Yorke singing “We suck young blood”.
