Epiphany

Hey everyone,

It's Aaron, and I'd like to tell you about a thought that crossed my mind the other day.

I wake up early one morning (meaning about 12 noon for me) and lie in bed for a bit, staring at the ceiling. There's something fascinating about the little bumps on the ceiling. They tend to get your mind wandering, and it was in this state of semi-awakeness that I had my realization.

It started innocently enough. I thought about how everyone has very different life situations. Not a profound or even original thought. But I explored it further: everyone does something unique to make their living.

It was in this vein of thought that I realized that some people in this world wake up, shower, eat, and then head off for work at a dildo factory. Kind of weird isn't it? Just as most of us head to school or to an office job, others pack a lunch that they'll later consume in a dildo emporium.

Everything they buy, everything they eat, and everywhere they go is dependent on their craftiness and proficiency behind a artificial dick maker machine. If they don't get that fake wang down to a tee and forget to polish the #D3C3A1 paint to a shine or making it accidentally curve to the right, I guess it looks like little Timmy's not going to summer camp this year. Uh oh, this one's girth doesn't pass quality control, that's too bad because Jenny really could have used that retainer. Stealing office supplies is another issue altogether.

One benefit, however, is that it no doubt increases creativity. Having that sort of job would mean your BSing skills need to be top notch. "What do you do for a living?" You could say, for instance, "I'm in the 'Body Services Industry'" or "a Cave Prodding Specialist" or even "an Interior Chiropractor." Those aren't very good examples, but hey, I don't work at the "Phallus Palace."

I hope that left you all with something to think about.

Yours,

Aaron

I've gotten my faith back into the Film Industry.

On a film set there are SO many codes for different things. Sometimes(most of the time) the code is actually longer than that of the original command or object. But I suppose it's a tradition thing.

For example, a certain small cable is called a 'C.H.' (Cunt Hair). Or a small Dolly In with the camera towards the Actors is called a Mickey Rooney (because the movement and actor are both little creeps).

Anyhow, most of them have a good amusing story behind them and make me enjoy the Film Biz just that much more.

So I've recently learned one for going to the toilet. 10-100 (Ten One Hundred) or 10-1 (Ten One) for short. And this code out of all the other codes didn't make any sense to me. I've asked around on set (crews) and people don't know where it comes from.

Just last week I accidentally found out the meaning of Ten-100. my Dad's (a cop) calling me while I'm taking a dump on set and being excited to use this new slang for poo'ing, I text back (while still taking a dump) "I'm 10-100'ing right now".

See my Dad knows trucker codes like that don't ask me how.

I figured he'd knew what this meant. After I'm done. I get another call. It's my Dad. "Wtf are you talking about you idiot" says the 330 pound giant.

I replay "What? I was just taking a dump".

"Well. I guess that makes sense, because in police lingo, a 10-100 means there's a bomb threat".


Have a good one,
Bryan

Why can't we post something on YouTube weekly? (another complaint from Bryan)

I've ask myself this question ever since we started.

Hey it's Bryan here. Hope you Dear Reader is doing swell. From the sounds of it, Braz is well. He's doing good at school and trying his luck with a gal. Aaron is well. He's doing good at school and trying his luck with a gal. I think they(the girls) both have the same names too, which is kinda funny.
I'm trying my luck with the Film Biz (sigh, that's another discussion lol)

But I see all these people make short films. Some of them are actually decent, however; most of them suck. A lot of these 'directors' get all there crew(friends) to work for them for free. So why can't I(we) make some short films or tons of more skits? I'd like to say because of the lack of money. But I know deep inside it's laziness. Aaron, Braz, and myself have to be way more driven to make these.

Now I understand they are at school. Which is great. This just means I should be writing, shooting, and editing more. I mean I don't have a camera or editing software. But I can still write right? But when I've written about 10 finished skits/shorts/etc. I need to shoot them.

How can I post videos with my current resources? I leave this question for you Dear Reader.

Any advice would be great.

Your Friend, Bryan Brooks
