the cockroach confederacy

ever have one of those really bad days? you know, when desperation sets in and the only thing you could think of doing was screaming at the top of yer lungs from the nearest rooftop? this is kind of like that, except I didn't have to break into my neighbors yard and do all that stupid climbing up to the roof shit. oh, that and its alot easier to yell when your actual voice doesn't interfere so much.

page 80 slumps

So i hit page 80 on the script i've been working on. The working title is " Modern Piracy". It's a little story about a group of iraqi war vets who get parts shot off of them and sent back to the states to "re-adjust" to civilian life.

After about a week they give up that shit and decide to steal the U.S.S. Constitution.

Not the document.

The ship.

The really old one, made of wood. Has copper plating. Gets an overhaul every 50 or so years. Old ironsides.

so anyways, I tried to make the story feel alot like an old 1960's war movie (witty banter, political commentary, blatent racism). watch "Kelly's Heroes" to get a feel. or "Mash" works too. the movie, not the dumbed down sugarcoated television program that ran for like ten years.
