How do you do readers?

Today I wrote my first pitch for a Documentary Film.

And here it is… I hope you enjoy it:

The Children of the Church:

Often we will see that new believers or “babies in Christ” are on fire for God, as church-goers put it. They evangelize and preach the gospel to everyone they come in contact with. These are the people who are unable to be discouraged when it comes to inviting their friends and co-workers to church. In churches they call that type of behavior “walking the walk”. What about the ministers of said churches and their families? What are they up to behind closed doors? Are the families we see leading the church suffering through the same struggles as your regular, every day families? Are the children and teenagers in those families as together as they seem when greeting and fraternizing with the congregations?

It’s a broad spectrum that minister’s children wind up in once they are adults. This film will expose the extremes and a slight middle ground that they go to once they are permitted to make up their own minds. There are popular ideas that these children often end up rotten. They often oppose the beliefs they were expected to have. This can be very true in many, if not most cases, but there are also those who stick to the path they are brought up in.

I will interview 4-5 actual families who have lived and may still be living through this and show the differences in every family and even within the family members.

I will also interview the parents to see exactly what the core foundations they taught their children were and see how the children compare with each other based on their upbringing.

Good Morning!

This is my first blog. I am sitting in bed and I felt poetic. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of a beautiful friendship between WordPress and I. I am not exactly sure what compelled me to blog. I can’t use Twitter to save my life and Facebook is just TOO public. But I’d like to write and put my writing somewhere, even though my writing is going to be garbage… but if I’m going to write why not put it down somewhere it can be read and why not start here? Okay, I will. Slowly but surely this ball will roll.

I guess I’ll start by talking about the year so far.

2010 has been fun! I’ve already gained 5 pounds so we should hope it’s been well worth it right? Well, it has! Every weekend I have resolved along with my closest friends, Angie, Margarette and Megan, to have a “SOPHISTICATED LADIES NIGHT“. We arent kids anymore, despite what our mothers say (and they say A LOT!). We are women now and thats what we call our wonderful evenings away from the world.

So we have separated one night a week to chat and taste new foods.

Week 1: THAI. It was a funny night. After we ate (closed the restaraunt) we went back to Mar’s house and recorded a song about incontinence. I know what you’re thinking: “these WOMEN are so SOPHISTICATED”. I know. We are. We laughed so hard, we pretty much became incontinent. As soon as I figure out a way to hack into the program we used to record it I will upload the song for you, whoever you might be.

Week 2: Megan could not make it She had homework… we’re trying to be responsible guys! So Angie, Mar and I made it as simple a night as possible. We went to Primanti Bro’s, our 24 hour pizza joint, which is our backup plan for any evening. We decided, while eating, to split a cab and go to Beach Place, which was only about 4 blocks away. We weren’t dressed accordingly for Las Olas, so we kept it casual. We ended up at Lulu’s Bait Shack. We ordered a couple of Fishbowls and chatted the night away. While we were chatting the guys sitting on the stools next to us kept chiming in. We tried to humor them without involving them too much… but they just didn’t get the picture. They kept talking to us. IT WAS FATE! So while we’re all chatting a little bald one quotes the movie “Old School”. And if anybody knows anything about me and my friends… its that we LOVE quoting movies and television. Its just our thing. I know… we’re awesome! The baldy struck Margarette’s fancy… and vica versa. He got her number… 3 weeks and 5 dates down the road we got ourselves a couple of LOVESTRUCK VALENTINES I am so excited for my Mar. Anyways, we ended the night at Shenanigans in Hollywood. Had a blastyblast.

Week 3: Angie and I planned to meet the girls at Cheesecake Factory for dinner and then a movie. Didn’t go down exactly as planned. Angie, Mar and me met at Cheesecake. Had a delicious dinner and had intentions of going to the movie… but Megan was having a terrible week and an especially terrible day. We nixed le cinema and made a run for Megan’s. We got there and chatted till she fell asleep. We went home and called it a night. And ladies & gents, that’s what friends are for.

Week 4: Got all glammed up and headed to the RoundUp in Davie. Had free tickets to enter and it was ladies night so even drinks were free! Thats always a pleasant and welcome surprise. We were there with Sergio and some of his friends, and eventually Michael and some of his friends showed up. We danced our little wanna-be redneck hearts out and at around 2 we headed to Denny’s. Ate and laughed till about 3:30 or 4 and crashed at Megan’s.

This weekend will be week 5 for us. We are going to Cava’s Wine Bar in Sunset Place and then heading to practice the Japanese art of Karaoke afterwards. Megan will be bringing her fiance, Sergio. Angie will be bringing her ex, Luis. Margarette will be bringing her date, Allan. And I will be flying solo along with Margarette’s teacher and our new friend, Angie Beene. She will also (hopefully) be dateless. Although I must admit, I always have the most fun when I am the one without a date.

Cant wait.

Now I leave you with the words of the great Al Bracero (Margarette’s wonderful father): “Gnite. B kafu.”
