something big

today was a semi-monumental day... for me of course, who else?

today i had a meeting with one of my friends who happens to be in the cable production industry. francis, the friend i was talkin' about if you were paying attention, has this company called brain tv, and maintains connections with the local office of the biggest cable company in the country.

what did we talk about? well, i tried my best, though i struggled a bit, to explain to him a concept of a tv show i'd like to make in cable. now, for all intents and purposes, i will not discuss the concept of the show. but i, however, can divulge that i plan to host it. why? because...

there is a major shortage of fat, unattractive, neurotic, self-absorbed, talentless talk show hosts this side of the planet. and i'm planning to change all that by breaking the rules and being THE ONLY fat, unattractive, neurotic, self-absorbed, talentless talk show host to conquer cable television. local cable television, that is.

so far, all the things we discussed were concepts, ideas, and preliminary shit. and i promised francis to come up with a decent concept paper by the end of the month to somewhat concretize the things i have floating over my head for about a year now. we ended our two-hour conversation, over grande frappucinno servings, with a handshake and a lot of hope. A LOT of hope. he said the concept just might be crazy enough... to... to get us all killed. nah, i'm kidding. he said it was a solid concept we can work around with. now, if i could only get some rich-ass dude to finance it, then we'd be well on our way.

oh man. please triple cross those fingers. i really need this shit to fuckin' work.

i'm out.
