Things are looking a bit up

Yes. A positive topic. Wow, is something wrong with the big, bad James?

No, not yet at least. I mean, in two days it's my birthday. The age: 28. Not an important age. Well, as long as I'm still breathing, it's important.

But that's not why things are looking up.

1. My uncle is feeling a bit better from the horrible fire that took everything. So that's good. Going to help him out tomorrow with salvaging what's left in the rubble. Hopefully a few things won't be too destroyed.

2. Got contacted via email by Nick Nunziata of Chud.com fame. Head honcho over there. They had a posting about wanting people to do blogs on there. No pay, of course. But it's all about experience and exposure. So the email I got was more or less saying I have a blog up there now. On a real site. I mean, this is a real site, per se. But now it's an actual popular site. With writers who are renowned. So that's very exciting. Need to think of a little bio blurb and a nice enough picture to give as my profile pic. We shall see!

3. And I got my second gift from Danyell for my birthday today. First gift was the Why So Serious poster with Ledger's Joker behind glass wiping with bloody fingers those famous words. The second gift somehow trumps that one by being the best DVD set (well, best DVD set not sold here. She got me the Japanese Grindhouse 6 DVD set. Which has the original cut of the film with trailers intact. It's not much to ask for here in the States. But now that I have it, I really don't need a Region 1 release.

But I know I'd buy it anyway. I'm a sucker when it comes to Tarantino.

So yeah, going to get a day by day basis of my exciting life. Or lack of one. Soon you'll also be able to see my wit on www.chud.com

Be prepared.
